SC nT(T. '~VVTTT MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1914 NO. 6 V V NO FOE OF TRAE WILSON SAYS fL IS UNFAIR TO CONSIDER DEMOCRACY TIE ENEMY OF BUSINESS Says Character and Ability Should be Recognized .Wherever .Displayed and Al Business Forces Should be Linked Together-to .Support ;the Gent Future Which Is Before Us. Declaring It would be unfair to re gard the Democratic party as the enemy of big or little business, Presi dent Wilson Wednesday gave out a statement in support of Paul War burg of New York and Thomas D. Jones of Chicago, as nominee for the federal reserve board. Mr. Warburg the New York banker las reconsidered his request that President Wilson withdraw his nomi nation as a member of the federal re serve board, on the condition that he wil not consent to appear befoi% the senate banking committee to be cross examined. The - President gave out a state *ment strongly defending Mr. War burg and Thomas D. Jones of Chicago against attacks, saying that men should not be regarded with suspic ion merely because they had been coLnected with big* business. This statement, friends of the president said, was intended to serve the dou ble purpose of letting the senate know he would stand by his nomina tions and of influencing Mr. War burg to stay in the race. Soon after the president's state ment was circulated in the senate, a statement was given out by Senator Hitchcock, acting chair man of the banking and currency committee de fending the committee's action in summoning only two of the nominees for the reserve board to appear be be questioned -on the ground that satis factory information had been gained from the other men nominated as members of the beard. A report that Mr. Warburg had been invited to. come to the White House before reaching a final decision was denied by officials who said the president and Mr. Warburg have been in close touch with each other by means of the tel ephbne, and that a personal call was unnecessary. The president's statement follows: "It would be particularly unfair to the Democratic party and to the sen -ate itself to regard it as theaem.,of badness, big or little. I am sure that ft does not regard a man as an ob ject of suspicion merely because he ba been connected with great busi ness enterprises. - It knows that the business of the country has been A 'chiefly promoted in recent years by -enterprises organized on a great scale and that the vast majority~ of the men connected with what we have Scome to call big business are honest, 'incorruptible and patriotic. The country may be certain that It is clear to members of the senate as it 1 I clear to all thoughtful men that .those who have tried to make big business what it ought to be are the men to be encouraged and honored. -whenever they respond without re -serve to the caHlof public service. "I predict with the greatest confi dence that nothing done by tbhe Dem ocratic majority of the senate of the United States will be of a sort to throw suspicion upon such men. Mr. Jones and Mr. Warburg, in manifest -ing willingness to make personal sac rifles and put their great experience and ability at the service of the gov ernmenlt, without thought of personal advantage, In the organization of a Kgreat reform which promises to be so serviceable to the nation, are setting -an example of patriotism and of pub * le spirit which the whole country ad mires. "It is the obvious business of state manship at this turning point. In our development to recognize ability and character wherever it has been dis played and unite every force for the upbuilding of legitimate business along the new lines which are now clearly Indicated for the future." NEGRO SAVES CHIL Heroism of Colored Man to be Paid for by His Death. A rather pecnliar accident happen ed Saturday afternoon in a storm on the Robert Wylie place a few miles from Chester. The child of John A. Campbell was out In the grove in front of the residence when a smal cyclone suddenly made its appear ance. A darky, Jim Hampton, hap pening along about that time saw the little girl sand ran and picked her up to take her to safety. Just as he grabbed her up a big tree was blown over him. felling him and doing him great bodily harm. In his fall he managed to save the child from being hurt. Had ho not rescued the child when he did it would have been in stantly klled.

CAROLINA COTTON EQUALS DEL TAS OF EQUAL LENGTH. Demonstrated by Expert That Stapl Grown in Southeast is Les "Wasty That Deltats. That strains of cotton are being produced to-day by the best breederi in the Carolinas which are fully equal to the average Deltas of the same length, in almost every respect, has been demonstrated to the satis faction of experts in the United States department of agriculture. Since the ravages of the boll weevil had practically put an end to the pro duction of long-staple cottons in the region which had formerly been the principal source of their supply, the spinners besought the department of agriculture about three years ago to assist in an effort to maintain the staple industry in the Mississippi delta. It was already known by the de partment that excellent upland cot tons of 1 1-4-inch staple could be pro duced on the Atlantic slope, but the spinners maintained that the Caro lina upland had been unsatisfactory to use. Investigation indicated that this this was because of a lack of under standing of the proper methods to be used with the seed and at the gin. Some of the best Carolina breeders, however, were developing high grade strains of the Columbia variety and were finding ready sale Pt satisfactory prices for their producis to the few spinners who understood the true character and value of these cottons. It devoted upon the department, therefore, to determine as accurately as possible how the b'est strains of the new varieties of upland staple an. Delta blended cottons actually compared in spinning value with Delta cottons. Accordingly a series of spinning tests was made in co-oper ation with the New Bedford Textile school; New Bedford; Mass., on five bales representing four different varieties or strains grown in three entirely distinct regions of produc tion. These tests showed that careful breeders in the Carolinas are produc ing cotton fully equal in almost every respect to the average Deltas of the same length. Contrary to the pre vailing opinion they showed that sev eral strains now grown in commer cial quantities in the southeast are less "wasty" than average Deltas, although they are not so strong. These varieties have the added ad vantage of being earlier, of bearing larger bolls and of .being more pro lific than Delta types. Full descriptions of these tests, with tables showing varieties in grade and staple, invisible loss, rela tion of grade to waste, comparisons at the comber, value of waste dif ferences, tests of breaking strength, t., are presented in Bulletin No. 121 recently issued by the depart ent. Since the 1913 crop in the Delta suffered little from the weevil, and since many spinners still retain a prejudice against upland staples. a serious situation now confronts the growers of these cottons. For this reason all growers and spinners should be interested in the results of these tests as set forth in this bul letin, which may be obtained free, as long as the supply lasts, by applica tion to the department. NEGROES CAPTURED. Used Abusive Language to Young Men of Lamar. > Saturday afternoon J. H. Andrews and Camellas Howell, two well known white men, who live several miles from Lamar, were leading some cows home from across Sparrow swamp when a buggy with three ne groes in it drove up behind them. The negroes, whose names could not be learned, fell in to cursing the men and ordered them to get their cows out of the road. One of the negroes drew a pistol and they followed along behind Andrews and Howell for some distance cursing all the way. The white men, who were unarm ed, went on until they came to the home of W. S. Reyno'ds, where they secured a Winchester and shotgun. The negroes in the meantime had turned back another way. Andrews and Howell started out after the ne groes and were joined by T. E. Wood hor. They drove six or seven miles and finally caught up with the ne groes. One negro got away, but the other two were forcibly brought to Lamar and turned over to Magistrate Boykin. REPEALS BILL. House Wipes Off Measure Passed Against West Point Confederates. With an unusual demonstration the House unanimously passed a bill to repeal a section of the revised statutes which prohibits the payment of accounts, claims or other obliga tions against the United States in favor of any one who encouraged or sustained or in any way favored the "rebellion". The measure opens up claims of various kinds aggregating about $165.000 from West Pain' graduates who were afterwards offi cers in the Confederacy. Stricken A fter Husband's Funeral. Mrs. E.

Governor Refuses to Countersign Or der Allowing Militia of Neighbor ing State on South Carolina SOIL Differences existing between Gov. Blease and the war department are responsible for the governor's refusal to allow the State troops of Georgia and North Carolina to pass through South Carolina to the proposed joint encampment in Augusta, Ga., next month. Adjt. Gen. N'sh of the Georgia Na tional Guard, made public a letter from Adjt. Gen. Moore of the South Carolina National Guard, which said that the ban would not be removed until the issues between Gov. Blease and Secretary of War Garrison had been settled. The war department recently with drew an invitation to the South Car olina militia to participate in the en campment because they did not meet the requirements of the Dick militia law in the matter of equipment and nuniber of. enlisted men in the va rious grade. Trouble had previously arisen be tween the governor and the secre tary of war over the location of the proposed encampment on the Isle of Palms. Secretary Garrison finally peremptorily transferred the camp to Augusta. Referring to the fact that Gov. Blease has declined permission to a company of Georgia militia to pass through the State of South Carolina via Blackville to the joint militia en campment at Augusta next month, Adjt. Gen. Moore gave out the fol lowing information Wednesday when interviewed at his office: "It has never been considered nec essary," said Gen. Moore, to obtain permission from one State to move militia of another State through Its territory when the foreign militia are moving under orders from the war department of the United States. State militia then assumes the na ture of Federal troops. Therefore, the request for permission to move the Georgia Hussars through South Carolina, which was made by Adjt. Gen. Nash of Georgia, on June 30, was unnecessary in this instance, al though proper to any militia move ment other than one under Federal orders." The Georgia request was submitted together with other orders by the ad jutant general of South Carolina- to Gov. Blease by Special Order No. 47, A. G. 0., July 6, for the governor to affix his signature. Gov. Blease de clined, however, to -sign any of the submitted orders, with the statement to the effect that .he would sign no further orders with regard to mili tary affairs until the muddle between this State and the war department has been straightened out. SHOOTS A WOMAN Darlington Man Wounds Wife of a Neighboring Farmer. At an early hour Thursday morn ing the wife of Bagon Knotts, a white farmer on a planta tion of L. M. Law son. near Darlington, was shot and seriously wounded 'by Will Blackman, nother white man. The cause of the shooting Is unknown. A few days ago Bagon Knotts took a warrant out charging Will Blackman with assualt and battery with intent to kill on the person of his, wife. Wednesday evening Will Blackman is said to have gone to the house of a relative and asked to borrow a shotgun, stating that he wished to go ~squirrel hunting. Wednesday night he paid visits to the houses of other people in the vicinity of the shooting. It seems that he was up most of the night and took up hiding near the re sidence of the Knotts before day. As Mrs. Knotts left her house Thursday morning in search for something for breakfast, Blackman is said to have made his appearance in the corn and fired upon her. He has not been captured. The condi tion of the woman is thought to be critical. LAV!tEATE AMONG SMOKERS. German Business Man Keeps Cigar Over Two Hours. The~ latest and most novel world's record was achievedl a few days ago in Berlin, Germany, where a congress of smokers offered a silver eagle to the smoker who took the longest time to turn a cigar into ashes with out letting it go out a single time. Two hundrea competitors entered. In one hour all but twenty had laid their cigars to rest in the ash tray. The rivals dropped out rapidly. After two hours only one smoker mas left. Herr Henz, a Sachsenhausen business man, who actually puffed away in peace until he perforce had to throw his diminutive cigar stump away two hours, 46 mInutes and 17 seconds after he had set light to it. Herr Henz has therefore been pro claimed smoker laureate.

Delightful Trip Taken to Anderson All Old Officers Are Re-elected Everybody Pleased. After the selection of Chick Springs for the 1915 meeting and the re-elec tion pf all offeers, the annual gather ing of the South Carolina Press asso ciation was brought to a close Wed nesday morning. Thursday the edi tors and their friends were the guests of the city of Anderson and the Inter urban Railway company. Ed H. DeCamp of Gaffney is presi dent of the association, W. F. Cald well of Columbia, Is secretary, and J. L. Sims is treasurer. A movement was launched at the session Wednesday morning for a trip to the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915. Chick Springs to be the mo bilization point and it is expected that at least 100 membets of the press will take the long trip. Invitations for the next meeting were extended by Charleston and Florence. The date for the next meet ing is to be fixed by the executive committee. Because of wire trouble Thursday the trip planned for the members of the association over the entire road of the interurban was cuitafled and the special train carrying the crowd arrived at Anderson at 12:30 o'clock, one hour and a half off schedule. The train stopped in front of Anderson college, where the members detrain ed and made themselves at home. A committee of citizens and ladies was present to receive the visitors, and, after a delightful luncheon served in the college dining room, the visitors were taken for automobile drives over the city. A terrific rain and wind storm came up while dinner was being served, but this did not detract from the pleasure of the crowd. At the conclusion of the luncheon Col.

Some Justilcation for Clinkscales' Position on Cotton Mills. Clinirscales' address. at Bishopville ealing with certain phases of the otton mill industry in South Caro ina caused Spartanburg to sit up nd take notice, says a dispatch from hat place. The situation he pointed out has been discussed from time to time in financial circles in the ,Pied ont but It has never before been ragged into the open, so to speak, r made an issue in a State cam paign. W. S. Gleen, one of the leading stock and bond brokers in Spartan burg, said: "The cotton mill in ustry has been the most important factor in the upbuilding of this State nd no- thoughtful man wishes to say nything, even in an effort to correct evils, that will tend to retard the growth ofiany industry. On the oth er hand, there have been far too many total failures and lack of re turns on money invested in many of the plants for this situation to pass unnoticed, and there is, therefore, some justification for Prof. Clink scales' position with regard to these orporations. Certainly, many of the mills are ably and fairly managed and the stockholders receive in an nual dividends a just share of the earnings, but in far too many in stances little regard seems to be paid the minority stockholders." *. WHOLE FAMILY SLAIN Four Killed at Chicago IBy Blows From an Axe. A family of four was wiped out by blows from an axe in their home in the German settlement of Blue Island a surburb of Chicago Sunday night. The victims were Joseph Neslesla, a German laborer, aged 52, his wife, their daughter, aged25, and the lat ter's infant child. The stiffened bod ies and the blood stained axe alone remained to outline the story when the crime was discovered by neigh The young mother of the infant had been living away from her hus band for some time and efforts to find him were begun. There was nothing in the house to show his name. The murderer, according to Benjamin 'Knirsch, chief of police of Blue Island, proceeded with real de liberation. Each swing of the axe apparently carried death with it death without even a groan to arouse others sleeping in the house. Each of the slain was struck in the head. Curfew Calls, Boy is Hurt.

Dennis, is making a fight for his re-election in a series of joint meetings with his POPS IT TO HIM POLLOOK INJECTS NEW CHARGF AGAINST GOV. BLEASE. RDIPlBLIAN ON STAFF Cheraw Man Holds Up Old Ticket of 1880 on Which He Reads Name of J. P. Gibson, Who He Declares is Now One of the Members of Gov. Blease's Personal Staff. At the seventeenth meeting of the senatorial campaign at Union Wed nesday, W. P. Pollock of Cheraw, a candidate, injected a new charge into the race when he held aloft for in spection of the 1,000 voters assembled the Union Republican ticket of Marl boro county for 1880 and read there from the names of several negroes running for office and that of J. P. Gibson, a candidate for the House of Representatives. Mr. Pollock declar ed that this J. P. Gibson is J. Pres ton Gibson'of Bennettsville, who, the speaker said, Gov. Blease appointed as a member of his military staff. There was a concerted effort on the part of a group of men in front of the stand-supporters ,of the gover nor-to heckle and hold Messrs. Jen nings, .Pollock and Smith, but each of the speakers succeeded in making his speech regardless of interruptions. About fifty Bleasites, wearing red badges, were massed directly in front of and close to the speakers' stand, and it was with considerable diffi culty that the speakers were heard. They persisted, however, and when his time was up had covered about the usual ground in criticism of the governor's official acts during the past three and a half years. After Senator Smith had gotten Into the swing of his speech-al though enunciation was dufficult on account of the hoarseness of his voice -the heckling soon subsided and the speaker was given a respectful and attentive hearing. There were few interruptions of the speech of the chief executive. Senator Smith wen outside of the regular routine of his speech to an swer certain charges made by Gov. Blease against the senator's record. The speaker denied he was a member I of the Haskell convention, explained the reason for his vote on the bill to pay to the family of a lynched man $2,000 and said that negroes retained government positions because they stood competitiv.v examinations under the rules of the civil service. In speaking of the negro question, Sen ator Smith said: . "The man who says that I advocate political or awcial rights for the ne gro tells a falsehood and he knows it." Judging from the amount of ap plause given the various speakers, Senator Smith was by far the favor ite. Mr. Pollock was the third speaker. He held up the pamphlet containing the Walterboro speech of the chief ex ecutive which Gov. Bleuse has distri buted over the State, a voice cried: "We don't believe what we see in the newspapers." I"Pardner, If you had as much brains in your head as you have mouth, I would ask you to get up here an~d make a speech," was Mr. Pollock's gentle rejoinder. The speaker then commented on the clause in the governor's Walter boro speech which stated that the decisions of the judges based on the verdicts of the juries should be up held, by saying that this was the "hugest joke" of the chief executive's career. He then told of the pardon record, and said that more than 900 convicts granted executive clemency are negroes. The speaker then held up a worn ballot of the Union ,Republican party of Marlboro county for 1880 when James A. Garfield ran for governor and read the following names: "W. A. Haynes, a negro, presiden tial elector from the First district; presidential elector from the Fourth district, Wilson Cooper, another ne gro; for congress from the Seventh district, Samuel Lee. another negro; candidate in Marlboro county for the House of Representatives, 3. P. GIb son." "3. Preston Giison, one of the names on the ticket, is the man whom Gov. Blease appointed on his staff a man who ran on the Republican ticket in 1880 along with negroes," said Mr. Pollock. After saying that Gov. Blease has been the greatest "friend the negro buck has ever had," because of the chief executive's pardon record, Mr. 1Pollock stated: "Cole Blease has had you people blindfolded for a long time, but thank God, the blinds are being shov ed aside and the scales are falling from your eyes, and the people of South Carolina are coming into their own." Tried to Whip Wife; Was Shot.. Wesley McCoy of Winston-Salem, N. C., sustained fatal shot wounds when he attempted to whip his wife. The woman was armed and sent five bullets into McCoy's body when he attempted to take her weapon.

TELL OF AIR IONUITION Trust of Men Placed in Birds of the Cage, Who Were Selected After Mice and Other Animals Often Keeled Over When the Atmosphere Around Them Was Pure. Canaries are the chief reliance of the United State Bureau of Mines, and it Is estimated that during the few years they have saved more than 5,000 lives. ,anaries were chosen for this work after other animals were found to be unfitted for it. At first the bureau tried mice. It was found, however, that these little creatures were too untrustworthy. They were inclined to be sulky at times and to keel over, even when In good physical condi tion. The canary, on the other hand, re mains cheerful and lively as long as Its physical condition is good. All that it requires is fresh air. For this reason the canary was selected for this kind of work, and the suc sucess which has attended its use has resulted in its being made a perman ent and most valuable addition to the rescue staff. Since canaries have been used, the toll among miners has been reduced from 3,000 to 2.000 or from 7 to 4. 29 men for every million tons mined annually. When there Is an explosion or a cave-in at a coal mine, and miners are entombed, word is sent immed iately to the Federal Bureau of Mines to rush to the scene of the disaster one of its specially equipped life-sav Ing railway cars. Each car is equip ped with an oxygen helmet and with other chemical preparations for con tending with the deadly "after damp." In addition the crew al ways carries several canaries in heavy metallic cages. Upon the arrival at the mouth of the mine where a disaster has occur red, the first thing the rescue crew does is to look after the miners who have managed to crawl to the surface njured or otherwise, and to admisis ter first aid. Part of the life-saving crew attends to this line of work, while the others try to penetrate the mine in an effort to reach the unfor tunates beneath the surface, many of whom are probably- overcome by the fumes of the deadly "coal damp." There are various places in the pas sageways entering the mines where the air is pure, and if the victims ould be dragged to them there would be no necessity to carry them further. The difficulty which rescue parties in variably encountered before canaries were used was in finding these pure air spots. The leader of the rescue party, hcwever, is now equipped with n ordinary brass bird cags in which wide-awake canary hops. This canary is kept in good humor during the trip to the mine, and every effort Is made to keep it active. The bird Is taken into the mine under the ver-watchful eyes of the leader of the rescue party. As long as the bird continues to chirp and hop bout in the cage the_ rescue party ontinues on its way. :But just as soon as the bird's activity begins to waver, the progress of the party is halted. The leader tightens his hel met to make sure that no breath of the death- carrying "coal damp" gets Into his lungs. The fact that the canary begins to feel "wobbly" is an indication that the air is impure, and that such victims as they find will have to be carried beyond this place if they are to recover. The party retraces its steps, care fully watching the physical condition of the bird In the cage, until they reach a spot where the bird revives. with the .bird to refresh it with his supply of oxygen and to await the re turn of the rest of the party with such victims as they may be able to The rescuers then proceed, minus the bird, penetrating Into the furthest depths of the mine until they come upon the entombed miners. The ought miners, usually unconscious, are arried to tihe place where the canary, again apparently perfectly lively, Is stationed. The victoms are later taken to the surface to be taken in charge by doctors. This work is continued until the rescue crew is satisfied that all of the miners have been taken out.

Rear Admiral Fletcher has return ed from Vera Cruz and has given his ,epor +a te a reddent HIS WIFE IS ARRESTED. DOCTOR WHOSE PATIENT WAS SLAIN IN HIS OFFICE. Story of Attempted Assassination of Dr. Carman is Now Generally Dis believed. Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, wife of Dr. Edwin Carman, was ar rested Wednesday, accused of being the assassin who a week ago Tuesday night murdered Mrs. Louise Bailey, wife of a Hempstead manufacturer, by firing a bullet through her heart as she stood in the physician's office. The finger of suspicion has pointed at Mrs. Carman since the discovery that she had installed a telephonic instrument in her husband's office to hear conversation between him and his woman patients. The related at tempt on the life of Dr. Carman sev eral days ago by a man on a bicycle is not believed. - The immediate cause of the arrest was the testimony given Wednesday morning by Eliwood T. Bardes, an insurance agent, whom the authori ties called the single reliable eye wit ness of the crime. Bardes also is under lock and key, detained as a material witness for his story is of such importance that the anthorities feared an attempt would be made to get him out of the jurisdiction of the New York courts. Bardes' story, briefly told, is this: At 7:30 o'clock on the night of the murder, Bardes said, he determined to visit Dr. Carman to have him dress a minor injury. He walked to the physician's house. Arriving there he decided to dress the injury himself and thereby save a doctor's fee. So he walked past the house and then turned around to begin his journey home. At that instant he heard an explo sion He thought it was caused by an automobile tire," but when he look ed for the machine he -could not find it. He looked toward the lawn at the side of Dr. Carman's house. A wo man, tall, wel built, hatless, wearing a light shirtwaist and a dark skirt, was moving away. from one of the windows at the side of the physi cian's office toward the rear of the house. She was walking "in a hur ryt', the witness swore. Bardes was discovered Wednesday. His story might still remain untold had he not mentioned it, first to a woman who telephoned the district attorney, and then to a priest he visit ed for advice. The priest urged Bardes to make his story known. But before an opportunity presented it self, he was taken into custody by rder of the district attorney. Bardes testified after Mrs. Car man's 12-year-old daughter, Eliza beth, had tried to strengthen her mother's alibi,-and representatives of the manufacturers of the telephonic instrument told of selling the device to the physician's wife and of install ing.it in her home. Coroner Norton, after spending an hour studying the testimony of Bardes and other witnesses, w'rote out his charge, stating that he "does on oath say that Louise Bailey came to her death by criminal means, by reason of a bullet fired into her .body with a revolver held by Florence Car man." He then ordered Mrs. Car man's arrest. Word was sent to Mrs. Carman that she was about to 'be arrested. Mrs. Carman, pale but controlled, ac companied by her husband, her at torney and others, came in a minute later. Coroner Norton, for years an intimate friend of the family, with tears in his eyes, read his charge and the warrant for arrest he had signed. Mrs. Carman stood erect, facing him. Between them, on the floor, was a dark stain marking the spot where Mrs. Bailey died.
