Mr.. CARY MAKES STATEMENT CORRECT.
'S' ,' ING FALSE REPORTS. ssoh
Anderson, October 20.-F. M.
Cary, leading business man of
Seneca, was in Anderson yesterday,
and made statement concerning
the reports that have been published
in some of the newspapers as TO
trouble between the white people
and negroes at Seneca. 1t will be
remembered that about two weeks
ago a negro college at Seneca was
dynamited by unknown parties. It
was said the negro preacher, who
was at the head of the college, had
made himself very Objectionable to
the white people. Following this q
large part of the business section of
the town of Seneca was destroyed
by fire q few nights ago. Sensational
reports we're sent out to the effect
that the fire was started by the me-
groes In retaliation for the attack on
the college.
$40 begin at the beginning" aaid
Mr.. Carey, "this negro preacher,
Williams, came to Seneca from
Abbeville about two years ago and
founded q negro Presbyterian church,
under the auspices Of the Northern
branch of that denomination. He
has builtup a oonside derableS following
among his race, and shas, so far as /
know, appeared to be- quiet, inof-
fensive negro. He also taught school
for the past year or 30 in the church
building. Some time ago his North
ern friends furnished him the money,
or the greater part of it, to put up q
school building. He called il col.
lege, but it was more of high school.
"About the time Of the Atlanta
| riots letter was received in Seneca
from some one at Abbeville, stating
that Williams had been driven from
Abbeville because of his incendiary
teachings to the negroes, and sug-
gesting that it might be good idea
to make him leave Seneca. A few
days after this Williams received an
anonymous letter, signed "Citizen,"
giving until certain time in which
to leave the town. Williams showed
the letter to Mayor Austin and other
good citizens, and they told him they
thought he had nothing to fear, and
promised him all the protection the
town could command. In fact no.
body paid much attention to the
letter.
"Several nights later, though, two
dynamite cartridges were exploded
under Williams school building.
The building was not wrecked, as
has been reported. / think 500 will
cover the entire damage. There is
another negro college at Seneca, and
the statement has been made by
some that Williams school may
have been dynamited by the negro
friends of the other school through
jealousy. I don't think there is any
thing in that. There was no such jeal-
ousy between the two negro schools
as would cause any negro to try to
destroy Williams school, and ! think
a great injustice has been done the
negroes by the circulation of such a
report. The dynamiting of the col
lege was strongly condemned by the
white people of Seneca, as was shown
by the resolutions adopted at the
mass meeting few nights ago. The
town council has offered a reward of
800 for proof to convict the guilty
parties. My own opinion is the
dynamiting was done by some mis-
guided YOUTH or by some rasoally.

Breathing Sodium Peroxide,

At last man has learned to live
without air. Sodium peroxide, one of
the newer products of electrolysis, Is
compound of sodium with oxygen
that decomroses in the presence OF
damp carbon'c acid. The value of this
substance may be gathered from the
fact that man can live in an alright
box as long as any sodium peroxide re.
mains unconyerted. 1t is suggested
that, by means of sodium peroxide.
submarine boats will be able to re-
main under water for considerably
longer periods than hitherto has been
possible. Just how long will be
matter of calculation, the factors in
the calculation being the amount of
oxygen converted into carbonic acid
by one man in one hour, the number
of men present, and the weight of
peroxide that can be carried Used in
mines, it should enable miner to
live with his head lite rally in a bag
of india rubber containing this perox.

Porch Table Covers.

Dainty and fluffy is not what the
best sort of porch table covers must
be. 1t may be attractive, novel, of
artistic colors and designs, but there
must be a practicableness about it
which will make it better fitted for
its outdoor life One which is in
good style is a square of cream-col.
ored canvas or cotton etamine, with
a border of lowered cretonne, which
is eight or ten inches wide. Gre
tonne or some linen art ware is often
found in some dark Egyptian design.
This makes an effective center, with
a plain border of some harmonizing
color. Pink ticking is the material
of another cover. Large roses are cut
from cretonne and appliqued around
the edge, forming an irregular border
If a small black wash galloon is used
in this applique. more character is
given to the cover.

politan proportions. In support of his
argument he cites the millions and
millions of dollars that the railroads
are expanding in Salt Lake and to get
here, the vast smelter interests and
the mining interests. Where million
aires like Hartman, Gould, Heinze,
Guggenheimer, Clark and others are
dropping in their millions is a good
place, Granting says, to watch. He
will be back here in a few weeks with
few automobile loads of real estate
buyers who want to take an interest
in Salt Lake realty.

There is only one regret regarding
the late election and that is that Geo.
G. Buckle and r. w. Wright were not
elected. 1t was through no fault of
theirs or no lack of popularity. 1t
was geographical conditions which de.
feated them
The American" candidate for con.
gress polled 1875 votes in Weber coun.
ty OF which 120 We're in Ogden. In
Summit county Mr.. Weir received but
l75 votes. Even the socialist candid
ate beat him. With this extremely
miserable showing the Americans"
yet claim they are strong and growing.
Well, there's plenty of room for
growth.
The Tribune claims the Mormons
control the public schools of this citv
and 1t wants to break up the monopo.
ly. 1t is true that 60 per cent of the
pupils attending the schools are Nor
mons. 1t is also true that 80 per cent
of the instructors are Gentiles. Where.
In does the Mormon control consist?

ADDITIONAL POLITICAL AND
OTHER TRUTHS.

Before election it was well under.
stood that 1t was necessary for the
public veal for the opposition to the
amerikearns party to concentrate it's
strength to defeat the party of graft
intolerance and hate. The oppo-
sition had to choose either the republi
can or the democratic parties
to route the common enemy
They chose the republicans they be-
ing the stronger weapon. The demo-
Gratis are sore because the voters did
not choose their party. They have
no reason for 1t, but they are sore just
the same. They talk about disbanding
and church influence and all that sort
of rot as pretty nearly every defeated
political party in Utah has done for
the last dozen years. 1t seems to us,
however, that the democrats were lit
tie If any more successful in other
parts of the country than they were
in Utah. If they want to disband why
let them disband. Who cares? Until
the democratic party has some better
policies to offer than it has now it
might as well go out of business.
OF all the artful dodgers the Herald
Is the most artful. During the late
campaign it played into the hands of
the Americans" just exhibiting
enough surface democracy to save it's
face. 1t was openly accused of this
by democrats during the campaign
and its conduct since has fully estab-
lished the truthfulness of the accusa-
ton. 1t wants the Americans" to
carry the school election and is urging
democrats not to join in a non-partisan
movement to keep the schools out of
politics. 1t wants the democrats to
sulk and thus give the Americans"
the chance to get control of the school
system and turn 1t into an amerikearns
political machine. If the chairman of
the democratic city committee won't
join with the chairman of the repub-
lican city committee in calling a non
partisan school convention the repub-
licans shouldn't call any convention,
but the citizens of both parties who
have the welfare of the schools at
heart should get together and in mass
meetings nominate non-partisan
school board ticket. That's the way
to prevent Professor Kearns from OBJ
tanning control of the schools. Teach
ers and all those connected with the
schools we think will oppose the plan
OF making the schools an adjunct to
any political party. They stand on
higher plain now and it would be a
sorry day for them when in order to
hold their positions they would have to
kow tow to some political boss and
pay percentage of their salaries to
the campaign fund of some political
party.
