LET THE ISLANDERS CEASE.

In communication published today
from Mr.. {. an. Busbee, manager of
Mr.. Simmons campaign, that gentle
man says:
Il desire to repeat what / have here
tOfore said, that no friend of Mr.. Sim
mons to my knowledge, nor have |,
during the pending campaign made
any charges against the personal char
acter or reputation of Mr.. Carr"
In communication published to-
day from Mr.. III. A. Foushee, manager
of Mr.. Carr's campaign, that gentle
man quotes from Mr.. Carr's card of
announcement of the 25th of August:
Gin this contest, l shall not attempt
in any way to detract from the merit
ofsany competitor. We are all Demo-
Gratis; we are all members of the
same great political households; we
have fought side by side it's great bat
ties; we nave, by united effort, and
undivided strength, achieved its great
triumphs.'
Mr. Foushee adds:
I'm the spirit of that declaration,
Mr.. Carr and his friends have con-
y
faith in the people-their support of
Justice and their love of fair play.
They have not sought victory by the
abuse of his opponents or detraction
of his supporters. Upon the high
plane set by their leader, they have
SO conducted the campaign from start
to finish -
If all the advocates of the candi-
dates had observed the same laudable
spirit and pursued the same course,
the Senatorial campaign would have
been ended in a manner creditable to
the party and the State. The truth
and it is a truth that all men know
is that some over-zealous advocates of
each Mr.. Carr and Mr.. Simmons have
circulated the most false and infamous
ISLANDERS about each of these gentle
men-slanders that no respectable
man would put in type and that had
no foundation to rest upon. They
have not been printed but circulated
in an underhand manner. When cool
ing times comes, the men who have
been guilty of this cruel wrong to
both these gentlemen will be ashamed
that in their excessive zeal for their
candidate they descended to SANDER
and villitication. We make no refer
ence to the critisicm of the public
record and utterance of the two cam
didates. They were legitimate public
property. Both sides may seek to
Justify their conduct by saying the
other fellow started it. That is no
excuse or justification. Both are
guilty and on Wednesday all the men
guilty of such conduct will vainly wish
they could recall their words
Men and brethren of the Democratic
party: One of these gentlemen will
be elected to the Senate. He will
then be the Senator of all Democrats
as well as of all others. Will you feel
proud that you have repeated ISLANDERS
about your Senator?
Two more days remain before the
election. They should not be married
by repetition of SANDERS. Both these
gentlemen are men of character, both
are sterling Democrats, and both have
done the State some service"

The Simmons managers claim 10000
majority and seventy counties. The
Carr managers claim 10000 majority
and fifty-eight counties, with a prob
ability of sixty-seven. One thing
seems certain: both sides are conf
dent. We will know which is right

Trapped Hen Hawks.

Wherever there is low shrubbery
around the house hens with bro0ds
of chickens will naturally seek that
less for the shale than as pro.
lection against depredators which
might swoop down and carry off
young cbi~k, to be torn to pieces and
eaten. The hen hawk usually finds
some place where she can watch the
brood unobserved, and make his
seizure before the hens warning
causes her little ones to run for shell
ter. II a steel trap is set on top OF a
pole where it will be convenient for
the hawk to alisht, he will be very
quickly caught. The trap should be
secured by rope or chain, so that the
hawk cannot fly off with the trap.
In this way the worst enemy OF the
poultry grower may be easily and
cheaply disposed OF.

Dr.. Stokes Success.

The current week has witnessed
the signing Of the order which inau-
gurates a new feature in our postal
system. 1t provides for the free
delivery Of mail along star routes,
which are mail routes through the
country carried by private convey
ance. So far the experiment is con-
fined to South Carolina, as Congress-
man Stokes was the first to suggest
it and introduce a bill authorizing it.
It is estimated that this service will
COST only about 3 cents per mile,
while the rural delivery proper costs
about 5 cents.
Mr.. Stokes has also gotten collec-
ton boxes for the city of Sumter and
additional clerk hire for the same
city, during the current week.
The mail service from WATERFORD
to Getsinger has been increased to
six times a week on re- recommendation
of Mr.. Stokes.

Another Genesis.

A we'll known divinity professor,
grave and learned man, had five
daughters, whom his students irrel-
evAntly named "Genesis, " Exodus"
"Numbere," "Leviticus" and "Deu.
teronomy."
Beginning his lecture one day, the
professor said: "Gentlemen, l wish
to peak to you about the age of
Genesis"
Roars of laughter came from the
students.
"Genesis is not so old as you sup
pose continued the professor.
More roars-so long continued, in
deed, that the worthy man had time
to think before he made the next re-
mark. He said timidly-and he
managed to hit the mark this time:
II may not be thinking OF the
same Genesis as you are!

there is no telling what the result OF
the contest will be.
The Coroner's jury in the Brase-
nell mine horror at Uniontown, Pa,
has returned verdict to the effect
that the foreman of seid mine was
negligent in failing to see that the
mine was in safe condition before
permitting workmen to enter it, and
placed the responsibility for the dis.
aster on his shoulders. And thus the
last sad act of the awful tragedy ends
aud the curtain drops upon a scene
of sorrow and death.

Hampshire, has introduced in the

strate that some man from that Sec

Of unusual valor and merit.
Wheeler, Hobson, Bagley, Blue,
Lee, Brumby and Wood-what q
bright galaxy of real heroes! Wheeler
is perhaps the central figure of the
Cuban campaign, 1t is true he did
} not have charge of the operations,
but to his intelligent activity is due
largely the victory Of Santiago, and
he is the. only prominent actor in
that campaign who has not been
criticized and who has been accepted
by the press and people as a man
worthy Of homage and sdmiration.
Bagley, the noble Carolinian, was the
first to fall for bis country, and his
blood has firmly cemented the friendly
relations cf the sections. Hobson
perhaps holds the most picturesque
position and wherever dare devil cour-
age and iron pertinacity are qualities
under discussion his achievements
will be remembered. Then there
is Blue, whose fearless and thorough
reconnaissance of the enemy's coun-
try under great difficulties and un-
told dangers earned the personal
gratitu de of Admiral Sampson and
the adm iration of all his colleagues.
Fitzhugh L ee today is one of the
most popular citizens of the United
States as a result of his bravery and
discretion.
The two men whom Georgia pro-
duced-Brumley and Weiborn Wood
have given their native State much
cause for pride, and Brumley was
second only to Dawey in the bonors
which the people of the United States
showered on that hero. Cadet Wood,
who was killed while commanding the
g lnboat Urdaneta in an engagement
with the Filipinos, has gained an en-
viable and lasting name for bravery
and patriotic devotion. The Tennes-
see volunteers who have taken such
a prominent part in the Philippine
war, are not to be overlooked in the
summing up of these Southern war
riors of note. The Tennessee boys
we're often in the thickest of the
fight, and exhibited the intrepidity
and daring which is the hallmark Of
the ideal soldier, and which has call
ed for compliments from officers OF
foreign armies.

a Newspaper Of Colonial Days.

Portland Telegram.
We have just read copy of one
the oldest newspapers in America.
1t is the Boston Glzette of May l2,
1910, containing the freshest ad-
vices, foreign and domestic" A full
account OF the Boston massacre is
printed in the four three column
pages. It's tone is in harmony with
the rebellious spirit of the times
against the u1just taxations of 3
despotic monarch. Bitter as the
people seemed, however, they were
not yet ready to throw eff the yoke.
They only wanted the right of self
government.
By perusal of it's editorial page
it is seen that men fought with the
pen even at that early date. One
article is directed against a man
who signed himself 'Bostonian" in
The Chronicle, another paper.
In the same paper is published
resolution boycotting English goods,
which had been passed by the towns
people. The names of persons who
refused to abide by the agreement
are published and people warned
against trading with them.
A very graphic account of the Bos-
ton massacre is given, surrounded by
broad black borders.
