CARRY THE PRIMARIES
Both the Labor Men and Open Town Element Are Working
for the Mayor-Mognahan Considered Plausible
Dark Horse

Every indication points to the
sweeping of the city by the Byrne
forces at the democratic primaries to-
night. This was true of the caucuses
Saturday night, and since that time
the strength Of the Byrne forces has
steadily grown, organized labor rec
ognizing that to nominated Rasher
means an endorsement of the Com
mercial club.
Both the labor vote and the OPEN
town elemtn are working hard today
for the mayor preparing for the pri-
maries that are held from 4 o'clock
this afternoon until this evening.
The supporters or Jameson and
Rasher are also busy, and all of them
are claiming victory for their re-
spective champions. The mayor has
the advantage of having the poll
books and the organization used in
the election of two years ago, and
the Rasher forces of those used last
autumn.

AT the regular weekly meeting of

the availability of Mr.. Jameson and
James Monaghan was also considered.
The association agreed that the man
who is not crank on either a wide
open town or on reform stood the
best chance of being elected.
A discussion was also had on the

cut from Antwerp with a cargo Of
cement and steel rails to Port Los
Angeles, dropped anchor a mile off
shore Of the latter port late Thurs
day. The captain Of the vessel
brought ashore his first officer in a
dying condition and had him conveyed
to a hospital. The Octavia arrived
in port with the sailmaker in irons,
charged with murder and the vessels
log showed three sailors buried at sea.
The story, so far as it can be learned,
portends an unusual tragedy on the
high seas. 1t SEEMS that shortly af-
ter rounding the Horn, the sailmaker,
who, it is said, was drinking heavily,
began making trouble anoug the crew
and induced three sailors to join him
in raid upon the whiskey portion Of
the cargo. Ia an ensuing drunken
fight, the three sailors assaulted and
severely beat the sailmaker. Subse-
quently the sailmaker induced the
same three men to make a second raid
on the cargo and it is said purposely
caused them to drink Of carboy OF
carbolic acid and they died.

Miss. Lillian B. Goff, thirty-two years
OF age, a stenographer was brutally
assaulted by a man who entered the
apartment and struck her repeatedly
on the head and arms with a heavy

about terms of a loan but later, when
an investigation disclosed the fact
that S4OO was missing from the Office

very thick. The sea was heavy. The
bark had been tossed about for a
couple of days and Captain 1niye
seemed unable to find his bearings.
When be struck he had time to proVi-

launched. In the boat with ne were
eight others. We got away safely.

About q Dog.

A letter from Honea Path to The
State says Ed. Ganbrell, a well-to.do
farmer living few miles east Of that
place, accidentally shot himself Thurs
day morning and very little hopes are
entertained for his recovery. He was
out hunting with party of his neigh
bors when Clifton LawleSs, a youth,
accidentally shot one Of the dogs.
This angered Gambrell, who began
beating Lawless with the butt OF bis
gun. In some way the weapon was
discharged, the entire load OF shot
passing through his left hand and
into his left breast, about one inch
above the heart. The lung was per-
forated and it is feared that the shot
will prove fltal. Those who witnessed
the affair attach no blame to LaW1ess.

class is to be soon established at Book

this will be issued from the fourth

once, it is understood.
AS soon as Confressman Thompson,
of the Tuskegee district heard Of the
plan, he hurried to General Bristow's
Office and protested against it. he
pointed out that the new postof1ce
would be within a mile Of the Tus-
kegee Office which is a violation Of the
departments rules. He said Tuskegee
had fine old school for young ladies
which is Of more Importance than
Booker's school, but no postofdce had
ever been proposed for the young
ladies' school.
Furthermore, be argued that the
establishment Of the Office at the ne
gro institute would take away from
Tuskegee Office much OF the present
business and in all likelihood would
cause reduction in salary of the post
master, allowances for clerk hire and
other expense.

SEEK INFORMATION.
Many Western Settlers Want ia
Come South to Esape the Cold.

Rev. DR.. Lund, professor of church
history and Of homiletics in the Unit
ed Church seminary at ST. Paul,
Minn., was in Columbia last week.
This is the theological school Of the
Norwegian branch Of the Luthern
church, which has $50, 900 communi-
cants.
DR.. Lund is himself an immigrant,
native Of Norway, but be was babe
in arms when be came to this country
and he is thoroughly American now.
He is fond OF the country Of his adop-
tfon, but be declares that he and
many other ScandinaYians find the
winter climate Of Minnesota too rigor-
Gus.
He visits extensively among the peo-
pie Of bis denomination and wanted to
be supplied with information concern
ing South Carolina for upon his return
he would be questioned closely. He
declared that be had no Official inter
est in seeking this information, but
there IS certain unrest among the
foreigners who have settled in the
northwest and he wants to be able to
give an intelligent answer to their
questions. The need Of State bureau
Of immigration was made evident by
his questions.
There is one matter which be sug-
geSted which should be brought to the
attention Of the people who are inter-
ested in bringing immigrants to South
Carolina do not fancy the presence of
the negro as neighbor. There is that
nameless horror which is a constant
dead to all isolated homes In the coun-
try, but II the colonists should be
brought here they would congregate
in such a way as to prevent their wo-
men and children from being endang-
cred by the presence Of negeo brutes.
The cheapness Of negro labor .aslo
worries those people who do not un-
derstand that the negro farm hand is
an improVident and idle creature.
The stories as to the "aristoracy" Of
South Carolina seem to have hurt this
State in which there is but one aris-
tocracy now-the aristocracy Of hus-
tie and Of enterprise. DR.. Lund SEEM
ed to be convinced that the settlers
would be we'll received here.
The soil here, he said, is not as fer
tile as that Of Minnesota, but the
more agreeable climate is an Offset to
that. BE seems to think the upper
part Of this State would be an idea
SPOT in which to locate settlers.
