MUST HOLD HIM

Special to The Sentinel.
Tangier, Morocco. Sept. THE
American consul here was notified to
day by the United States government
that he will be held personally to
strict accountability for the safe keep
ing of Stensland and that the prisoner
of Stensland. and that the prisoner
must be held in custody at the con-
sulate. As a consequence. it is believ-
ed that Stensland will be removed
from the hotel where he has been
staying and place him under guard in
one of the cells attached to the con
sular offices, to remain there until
he departs from Morocco which can
not be for some days at least. The re
turn ofStansland will practically re-
solve itself into kidnapping exploit
by the government of the United
States.
The course probably will be neces-
sary under the circumstances. The
Sultan will put no obstacle in the way
of the removal of the banker but he
prnha hlp-~ will haze no hand in It

oner will be left to the American con-

WON'T STAND 1T.
Rebellion Breaks Out against the
big Five''-New Forces Make
Headway in Local Repub-
Iican Politics-
No Peace.

They have broken over-that is
the candidates who have refused TO
be dominated by the big Ave" of the
Republican party.
! There was something doing all last
night. The candidates were active
and so were the big five" There
was a meeting in Judge Caswell's of
flee. this we know because We saw
some of the boosters of the party go
there.
But somthing new has come to
pass. There is a wing Of the party
that does not give any aclSnowledg-
ment whatever to the big five," in
other words tells those people to go
way back and sit down. And by the
way this new branch is a strong one,
1t has backing and plenty of it and
/ it simply laughs at the pretenses of
the big five" party.
New men are crowding in the field
for office. Treasurer Williams has
not the walk away he though he was
going to have. There is another can
didate out for treasurer. It is J. A.
McCulloch Mr.. McCulloch has ask
ed permission of no one to come
into the field and he is making a hard
fight for the nomination and the big
five" is scared up considerably.
And then there are other fights
on and there is anything but harmony
about the congregating places of the
big five," who heretofore have had
it all their own way
A Republican said this morning
that, it was one time the big five"
could not control things in naming
the candidates. The harmony talk
will not go down with those who
have waited for years for some rec
ognition or other and are now anti
cipating a double cross from those
who are attempting to keep them
quiet.
Aside from the office of assessor.
there are a half dozen candidates at
least for the other Offices
In some cases it is not the offices
particularly over which the fights
are occurring. but there are other and
deeper matters that are affecting con
ditions in the selecting ospominees
II has been a long time in the his
tory of the Reublican party in this
county. when the candidates have not
all been picked out long ere the time
for the convention, but this year. the
big revolt in the party, has turned
things so completely upside down that
no one can really predict who will
be the nominees.
SO far as the big FIVE" is concern
ed, their candidates are picked out,
but this is one of the times that the
slate will not go through.
Just wait and see, the awfullest
lot of sore heads in the Republican
party, even seen. They cannot come
out of that convention with har-
mony. it matters not how much har-
mony talk is made.

TownviIle.Westminster Trolley Line.
[Greenville News, March 81

Latest among the proposed interurban
trolley developments is line to connect
Townville, Anderson county, with West
minister, Oconee county, where it will
tap the main line of the Southern Rail
way. 1t is said that capitalists have
agreed to see the scheme through on
condition that the people of Westminster
and Townville and the farmers along the
route subscribe $25,O00 to the capital
stock. Only $1,000 of this amount re-
mains to be raised, according to the
latest report.
Natural conditions peculiarly favor the
proposed line. It's route lies for eighteen
m les along nearly level ridge, crossing
only three streams, these being small,
and affording right of way that will
need little grading or filling and no
trestling to speak Of The section which
it will traverse contains the most fertile
farming lands of the Piedmont, held by
prosperous, we'll to-do planters, who are
already using every modern convenience
obtainable.
Townville was only recently incorpo-
rated, but it has had distinct character
as thriving country village for moro
than hundred years. 1t contains half
dozen large stores, big oil mill and
ginnery, and has population of about
three hundred. Its high school, with an
enrolment of more than two hundred
pupils, employs three teachers, and is
one of the best of its kind.
Townville wants connection with the
outside. The distance to the nearest
station on the railway is nine miles.
Townville is about ten miles from Ander-
son, the same distance from Pendleton,
about eight miles from Liberty and about
twelve miles from Seneca. The distance
to Westminster, which is also willing to
put up hard cash for trolley line, is
eighteen miles.
