VOL. XXV MANNING, S. C. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBR2 SULL RAVIG MaM Waun lAes i Uu Ezhiai of H'useI ACTS LKE A CRAZY AN Because Hoke Smith Does Not Fall Dowa and Worship Him the Great Has bee Wants to Defeat Him for Governor and Urgen Governor Brow to Oppose Him To distegard the nomination of Boke Smith for Governor of Georgia. on the ground that Democrats are not bound by the primary. which se him, because of the methods by which the primary was conducted. was the advice of Thomas E. Wat son. once Populist candidate for the Predency. in a speech at a mass meeting, called by himself at Atlan ta Wednesday night. He urged Democrats to vote for Governor Jos eph X. Brown. for another term. although Brown is not a nominee. 6elaring that voters are free to treat the Smith nomination as null and void. What Watson called "bossism" and the alleged use of "money and whiskey in elections, and the secur ing of nominations by fraud and de cepetions" were the reasons he gave for Insurging against the regular. Democratic nominee. Watson re terred to Smith's statement of $1 ., 000 campaign expenses. declaring that this did not' cover more than half of the total expenses from ether soure Re bjected to the use of so much money in campains as a dangeraus tanmncy. He claimed that in the nomiating committee the represen tatives of the 93.000 Democrats. who voted - in the primaries for Brown. were "reduced to silence" by the Convention rules; and that then the representatives of the 9-7.000. who voted for Smith, were "subdued by those new rules Into a state or speehless Imbecility." The uproar. which cut short his pVevifous speech here. Watson charg d, was inga by what he c11 ed the "rule or ruin" clique. which 4 onwated the nominating Conven tion. Speaking further of this Interup toa. Watson said: "Although no such idea was in my mind at the time, I have been fEri by convinced that some of the riot enshad assassination in mind. "The situation in Georgia nears a striking resemblance to that which existed ir Tennessee just before Car mack was killed. "When Southern Congressmn." -Aid the speaker. "assist stand-pat Republicans to put a tax of 37 per cent. on the rich men's chamupazne, atte having taxed the poor nian' blanket at 165 per cent, what beer evidence would you want that the vdlce of the people is no longer heard in 'the making of our. iar '" Watson charged that vote 'oart'a ing existed in the highest legas.ative~ ocees of the country, and that "our mpresentatives sell out, betraying their constituents for a mess of iFed efl patronage." He predicted. that unless "this spirit of lawlessane"'' is dhecked. "our wives and daughters wili be subject to insult whereev'er teby appear alone on a side street. He advocated remodel'ng ths .Na tlonalI Democratic Convention so as' to .give full representation to thecr .tates which go Democratic and! pro -portional representation to tho--e which do not, a move which he s.aid would be the South's first ., -o recover her ante-bellum power in the~ Union." Near the close of his speech Mr. Watson said: "I am authoriced to say that if the people call on Go:ern or Brown he will serve. Todny I had a confidential talk with J. R Smith (Governor Brown's campaign manager.) and Mr. Smith will help in our fight." Aaked after the speech whether Governor Brown had authorized him to make any statement. Mr. Watson said the Governor had not, but that he was confident the Governor would accept If reelected. Mr. Watson did not propose an" plau to place Governor Brown's name on the offcial ballot. Mr. Watson spoke in a local thea tre, which was largely filled through admission by card before the door-. were thrown open to the general puble.

Safely Over Yawning Gulches and Thrvateninp Peak% of Italy's Natural Fortrets.. Only to Meet With Disaswtr and Serious Injury Within Fifty Iasy Miles of Goal. The great feat of crossing the snow-capped Alpine barrier between Switzerland and Italy in a heavier than air machine was accomplished Friday by George Chaver-. the young Peruvian aviator. The 1lucky hero of the exploit. however, lies in a local hospital bad ly injured as the result of an acct dent that occurred just as he had completed the most arduous and nerve-raking portion of a task he had set out to accomplish-a flight from Brig. Switzerland. across the Alps to Milan in Italy. in all a dis tance of about 75 miles. Both his legs are broken, his left thigh is fractured and his body Is badly contused: but the physicians in attendance are of the opinion that these hurts will not prove fatal and that unless unlooked for complica tions ensue Chavese will be about in two months. The accident occurred as Chav ese was endeavoring to make a land ing at Pomodoesola. Italy. The Alps had been crossed successfully and the aviator was descending with the power of his machine cut off. When about thirty feet above the ground a sudden gust of wind seem ed to catch the monoplane, which turned over and fell. When crowds that had been watching the descent ran up they found Chavese lying twisted and bleeding beneath the twisted wreckage. Fifty miles away lay Milan, the goal for which he was seeking In order to win the prize of $20.000 offered by the Italian Aviation so ciety. Chavese lost the rae. The weather at Brig was clear and bright when Chavese made his start Leaving the ::round with his motor running at full speed he rose in sweeping circles until he had reach ed an altitude sutlicient for him to crear the shoulder to the southeast ward of Zrig. This obstacle having been over come. the Peruvian aviator headed his monoplane straight for the snow capped crags of the Fletchern. Con stantly ascending. Cbavese reached the Simplon KuIm. where, at an al titude estimated at 7.2010 feet. he turned his machine south over the terrifying SimplOnl pass with the Katwaser glacier at his le-ft and the frozen peak of the Hiubschhorn at his right. After crossing the divide. Chavese turned to the towering white moun tan head of Monte Leone. which rises to a height of 16.644 feet. and passed down above the Gionde gorge. until he reached the open valle-y of Vedro, and then descended easily to word Domnodossola. whic-h is Ss9 feet above sea leve-I. It was here that the accident occurred. Some of the spectators of the flight say that Chavese. after cross ing the Simplon pass, followed the short cut route over the Monseera pass. which is R~o feet above sea level, Tf this be so. it is possible that the Peruvian beat his own worlds record for height of S. 271. The 25 miles between Brig and Domodossola. which it took the ar mies of Napoleon a fortnight to ne gotiate. Chavese accomplished by the route of the eagle in axactly forty minuites. From the high point at Monseera: he descended 7.,0) feet in 13 min utes. his machine gaining in momen tum as it flew over the jumble of lower peaks. gulches and hills beyond until the speed was terrific as it ap proached the aerodrome at Domto dossa. This doubtless caused the acci dent which turned the- chee-rs of ad iration of the waiting crowd into cries of horror when the machine came hurling to the ::round just as it seemed that Chavese was a!>out to alight in safety. After treatment in the hospital Chave*. regained consciousness but was uznable to explain how the acci dent had oecurred. The generally '4ccepted topinion is that the accident was due to a slight shift In the rud ier while the monoplane was being s-nt at a high rate of speed. Although Chavese did not succeed In winning the prize of $24.l0.'. hav iig failed to reach Milan. some of the members of the aviation commit tee are In favor of turning over the prize to him and erecting a monu met in commemoration of man's first flight across the Alps. Chavese. although a Peruvian. was born in Paris in 1I87. He so cured hIs license from the Aero club as air pilot ia February 19 of this SChavese was able to receive vlsi -tors at the hospital for a few min Sutes that night.

Mrs. Singer, formerly a resident of Detroit, but lately residing in a Cleveland hotel, Is the wife of a trav eling salesman, and is related by marriage to men prominent In Cleve land affairs. The couple spent Wednesday af ternoon and evening in an automo bile. At midnight Thursday night they went to a road house at Rock:: River. a western suburb of the city. Four hours later a quarrel occurred In a grill room across the street from the place first visited. Mrs. Singer. according to the barkeeper on duty. ordered a taxicab by telephone against Yates' protest, and ten min utes later the shooting occurred. Mrs. Singer was shot through the back and through both legs. A po liceman and the barkeeper disarmed the man. "I fired two of the five shots at myself. but missed."

Mrs. John Zoos and her three chil dren. a boy. aged 7 years. and two girls, aged T months and three years. respectively. were -iurdered late on Tuesday afternoon at Byers. a small town about 12 miles from West Chester. Pa. Suspicion points to a laborer who has disappeared. but whom the police are makng a des perate effort to locate. The husband and father was the first to discover the horrible crime. While on his way home from the Plumbage mines. where he is employ ed. Zoos saw the body of his 7 year old son along side the roadway. Upon investigating he found that the child nad bepn terribly cut about the hea! and was unconscious. The distracted father took the child in his arms and rushed to his home, a short distance away. Here a terrible sight met his gaze. Lying on Lhe floor in the little kat chen were the bodies of his two !t tie girls and his wife, the latter still breathing but with her brains oozing from a great gash in the skull. The almost frantic father rushed from the house and gave the alarm. A physician was quickly summoned but a glance told him that there was no hope for the wife. Attention was then turned to the wounded boy. He was placed in an automobile and a quick run was or dered for the hospital. a distance of eight miles. Just as the automobile was in sight of the hospital the little fellow hreathed his last. It was evident tta.t the murdetes had gone to the Zoos home for the purpose of robbery and the fact that the three persons in the dwelling were disposed of by the brutal bur glar would seem to bear out the theory of the police that the robber was familiar with the Zooses and murdered the family upon being re eognized. At the time the woman and the little girl were murdered the boy was at school. It is supposed he met the slayer of his two sisters and mother when a short distance from home and the murderer, knowing that the child would recognize bitp and give a clue to the authorities slew the little fellow. The weapon used hy the murderei was an axe. the pole of which wa. covered with blood and brains fron the no'her and children. The bou had been ransacked and $45 whicl Zoos claims to have had in his home is missing. WANTS FACTIONS UNXITED. Taylor U'rges All Teannessee Dlemo crats to Stand Together.

The Crushed and Mangled Bodies o the Unfortunate Victims Strew the Track Amid the Wreckage. Forty-two Pz&sncers were killed and seven were seriously injured in a head-on collision between two trac ion cars on the Fort Wayne-Bluff ton division of the Fort Wayne and Wabash Valley line Wednesday. The wreck occurred one and a half miles north of Kingsland Ind.. seven miles north of Bluffton. at a sharp curve. The cars in collision were a north bound local car, crowded to the steps. which left Bluffton at 11.15 o'clock. and a south-bound "extra" car, from Fort Wayne. They met while both were running at high speed. The collision is said to hare been aused by the misunderstanding of arders regarding the Southbound "extra' cars taking a switch near Kingiar.d. so that the Northbound :ar could pass it. There were two physicians on the ars at the time of the wreck. One >f them escaped serious injury and with the other. who had aimself been ainu!ly hurt. rendered assistance to .hose who survived the collision. Re ief cars were hurried from Bluffton nd physicians went in automobiles. Many of the dead had already been emoved from the debris of the cars nd the gruesome work of taking out he mangled remains of the wreck Lge was taken up by the more skill 'ul hands of the company's wrecking :rews. 'Most of the people on the north >ound car were enroute to the fair Lt Fort Wayne. Help from nearby -esidences was rendered to such as :uld be removed from the wreckage. Th" mctormen of the two cara did ot have time to set brakes when .bey sighted each other. The heavy oaded northbound car was crushed Lnd the bodies of the dead and injur ,4 were strewn on either side of the rack amid the wretkage. The creams of the injured following the :rush brought the neighboring far ners to the scene. Conductor Spiller, of the south ound car was unhurt and ran back oward Kindsland and bagged a car rom Indianapolis. which was ap broaching the wreck at full speed and etherwise would have plunged into it dding to the list of the killed and njured in the collision. Wrecking cars and physicians were ushed from Fort Wayne and Bluff on and the bodies of the dead and r.jured were conveyed to hospitals in he two cities.

SURE TO WIN U&tl Doakt Of Genr Skafr Swc ceedig Himself in SPITE OF THE TRUSTS No Need of Insurgency in olorada. ws the State is Safely lemocratic, and Will Clean up the Rascals. Including Guggenheim. As Soft a They Get a Chance. Just after crossing the Rocky Mountains Zach McGhee writes the State an interestinc letter on Color ado politics. He says I pick up the papers this morning at a l'ttle moun tain station, after traveling all night and most of yesterday. and see that the Democratic convention in Color& da nominated John F. Shafroth for (Governor. This means that Colora do will again go Democratic. The corporate Interests 1 told about the' other day did their best to defeat Shafroth in the convention. They knew he had made himself a great hero in the minds of the voters of the State and they therefore turned their attention to buying up delega tions in the convention so as to elim Inate him. They could get up nothing against him, but that Colorado crowd hive never been accustomed to having to do anything like that. When a man is objectionable to them, they have been accustomed to say to their hire lings to nominate somebody else, and that was sufficient. But times are changing in Colorado. The Re publican candidate will be an object of interest to these co.:poration fel los now. but they n-ed not bother about that, if any signs in Colorado can be believed. Shafroth will carry the State by a big majority. The only unfortunate thing about it is that the legislature which will be elected will not be able to elect a senator in place of the unspeakable Guggemheim. Tuesday night. the last I spent in Colorado. except on the train, I went to a Republican insurgent rally. The chief speaker was none other than my old friend Senator Bristow of Kansas. He and Merle D. Vincent. a Coloradan who wants to ge gover nor, preached to these people about the first insurgent gospel they had ever heard in their lives. And Sen ator Bristow poured hot shot and melted lead into the pores of G'2g enheim. too, right here In what is supposed to be Guggenheim's home locality. But I was gratifted to see that Gug:enheim was more of a thing of contempt right in that selfsame lo cality where nominally he hails from than almost anywhere else. Senator Bristow told his hearers that if they are to be loyal to the present lead ers of the Republican party, they should be consistent, and alongside of the pictures of Lincoln. Sumner, and a few other great statesmen, they should hang on their wall the pic ures of Nelson W. Aldrich and Si :on Guggenheim. The crowd broke out in a big l~ugh. The fact of the matter is uggenheim does not live in Color do and never has, and has no more riht to Ibe senator from that State than Henry M. Flagler to be senator from "lorida, or John D. Rockefel er to be senator from Texas. But there are hardly any "Insur gent"~ Repuiblicans in Colorado. Ev en my friend Senator Bristow. K fear does not stop to consider why. The State is Democratic. having with the exception of Guggenheim a solid Democratic delegation in con gress. It is of no use to insurge against Guggenheim. for he can not be elected again anyway, and he ner er was expected to represent the peo ~le of Colorado in the Senate. The people of Colorado never bad anything to do with electing him. .nd when the people do take a hand. that is. when they '"insurge." they are going to put Denmocrats intO all the oflices. What they have been up against is to oust the domination of the areedy and corrupting "business interests" of the State from the Dem ortic party. They have come to realize that it is wll-n::himposibl topuri.tyth R,.pub;!can party. for the Republi ran principles themselves bare been to give special privileges to those who "need"them. as they say when making a tariff. However, it is a commendable ef fort on the part of Merle D). Vin cent to lay the matter before the people of his party. It will help to defeat the Guggenheims~ and other Repubican leaders, or rather, ag ents, but the ones which will take their places will not he insurgent Republican; they will be Democrats.
