During the blow at wrightsvilie

S~HE magnitude of the demon
stration at Metropolitan Tenn
pie last night in favor OF
Schmitz for Mayor and the
character of the utterances made by
the speakers should convince the con-
servative and law-respecting citizens
of San Francisco that it is their duty
TO put aside party preferences and
support Joseph S. Tobin for Mayor OF
San Francisco. The elements OF an
archy and industrial disorder are cor
centrating to bring about the election
of labor candidate. Nominee Schm1tz
in effect promises that if elected, the
police shall not protect merchants.
Schmitz will be defeated if the busi-
ness men, property owners and law
abiding citizens generally unite their
forces in behalf of Mr. Tobin's candi-
dacy. If blind partisans, failing to
comprehend the full meaning of the
sentiments expressed at the Temple
last night, continue to lend their sup
port to Wells and thus divide the
forces of industrial order, the candi-
date of the labor agitators may be
elected.
Joseph S. Tobin, nominee for Mayor, is
securing large accessions of support from
conservative Republicans. His election IS
now regarded as certain The direct, un-
qualified Endorsement of Mr.. Tobin's can
didacy by the Citizens Non-partisan
Party insures his success at the polls
next Tuesday.
The lines of action are now clearly de-
fined Citizens who pay taxes to main
tain the City Government and who hold
that the administration Of affairs should
be clean, progressive and free from cor
porate dictation, are falling into line for
Tobin.
Arrayed against Tobin and chiefly be-
hind Wells are the worst elements OF the
metropolis. The touts, gamblers and
town" and have no respect or regard Tor
the principles of clean municipal govern
ment are telling respectable, hard-Work-
ing citizens that Wells ought to be elected
because his name is on a ticket designated
as the Republican ticket.
The Issue Cannot Be Obscured.
The issue presented to the people who
are entitled to govern San Francisco can
NOT be obscured by party designations,
The Wells ticket is the ticket Of the loot
ers and tax-eaters. In Its makeup dele
gates chosen to the designated Republican

Cotton Mill Assessments.

Capt w. A. Courtenay writes scath-
ing letter to Comptroller General Der
ham on the cotton mill assessments. He
says in part: II ask If tho people of
South Carolina are not living under q
written Constitution, which declares in
the most imperative manner that there
shall be equality in assessing and taxing
tho property of tho State? This being
SO, by what legal authority does So
called board of equalization 20 out of it's
way to select certain properties and az
bitrarily assess thom at 90 por cont of
thoir values, when tho bulk of tho prop
erty of the State is notoriously assessed
at 40 per cent, cut down to 30 per cent
and an average estimate at 35 per contp"
Mr.. Courtenay further declares that
tho "money feature of this startling
revolutionary programme shrinks into
insignifcance in the presence of suoh
conspicuous incongruity, inequality and
lawlessness." We have already OK
pressed and reitcrated our opinion of
this action of tho State Board and we
have no further comments to make on it
at this time. We do not believe that
public opinion in South Carolina is yot
so warped by prejudice that it will sus.
tain the board in this daring and lawless
innovation. on.-Gaffney Ledger.

Czolgosz was seated on a bench. He

Bellinger for Congress.

Charleston, September 28.-G. Duncan
Bollinger, attorney general of South
Carolina, whose namo has been mon
toned in connection with the race for
the United States Senate, has issued n
statement in which he says he will not
be n candidate. Ho will mako tho race
for Congress in the Second District, how
ever, and already his following has devel-
opod great strength.
Bollinger is one of the ablest young
mon in tho political field just at this time
roproach. He has served tho State in
various capacities and there was popu-
lar demand for him to run for the Senate
to secure tho seat now held by Senator
McLaurin. There are so many candi-
dates out for MoLaurin's scalp that Boil
lingor decided to take lesser fold.
