WILL NOT ACCEPT.
Roosevelt Will Not be Candidate for
a Third Term.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-President
Roosevelt will not be candidate for
a third term. All doubt on this point
was tonight dispelled by the author
itative statement from the White
House that Mr.. Roosevelt still adher-
ed to the declaration of remuneration
made on the night of the election
three wears ago. In. the statement
issued tonight President Roosevelt
SAYS he has not changed and shall not
change the decision communicated to
the American people in 1904:
It appears that the president has
been awaiting the call for the Re-
publican national convention to at
ford the proper opportunity for
making his position clear and un-
mistakable, and thus leaving the
field clear for Fairbanks, Taft. Can
non, Knox, Foraker and other de-
clared or receptive candidates Tor
the Republican nomination. The
presidents statement follows:
"On the night after election l made
the following announcement: i am
deeply sensible of the honor done me
by the American people in thus ex-
pressing their confidence in what l
have tried to do. Appreciate to the
full the solemn responsibility thus
confidence imposes upon me-. and l
shall do all that in my power lies not
to forfeit it. On the 4th of March
next / shall have served three and q
half years and this three and half h;7
wears constitute my first term. The
wise custom which limits the pressl- es :
substance and not the form, and
under no circumstances will l be a
candidate for or accept another
nomination.
Il have not changed and shall not It
change the decision thus announced. -

Roosevelt Forced to Decline.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE presi-
dent tonight reissued his election
night announcement that under no
circumstances would he accept
another term. The impression here
is that it was forced from him by a
sudden awakening that he could not
be elected. Numbers of his friends,
among them congressman and others
prominent in Republican politics,
have been visiting him this week and
at last it is learned that they have
been telling him that there would be
no chance for his election; that Bryan
would beat him if he were put up
for a third term. Convinced at last
of this, he has declared that when
he spoke on the night of election he
really meant it and will not run,
The Republicans who formed the
Southern coalition say in effect that
the situation has not changed so far
as Southern delegates to the conven-
ton are concerned. They will go to
the convention unpledged. If the
president can be induced to accept
the nomination in spite Eof what. he
says they will be in position to sup
port him. If he declines it when the
convention offers it to him, then it is
time to decide for whom they will
vote. In other words, they are not
pledged and will not be pledged to
Taft or anybody else. In other
words certain leaders have, or think
they have, the delegates in their vest
pockets, and will deliver them to

n LITTLE more than year ago
"a President Roosevelt created
"a something of sensation by
- taking a trip in a naval sub
marine vessel beneath the waters OF

was slight as compared with what
would be felt should the strenuous
head of the government take trip I'D

that the president might favor the ar

hind other countries in the matter OF
applying air navigation to warfare.
The importance of the United States
keeping up with the procession In the
matter of aerial science as connected
with warfare was emphasized at the
international aeronautical congress,
which met In New York at the conclu-
sion Of the aerial carnival at St. Louis.
Prominent among the speakers at
this congress were members OF the
United States army who have given
special study to aeronautics. One OF
these, Major George o. Squires, who
has had charge Of the government bal
loon experiments at Fort Leavenworth,

igation has been established, and the
success of aerial navigation means the
introduction Of new and radical meth

of producing decisive results by strate-

4 MOST HORRIBLE CRIME
WHITE MAN is CHARGED WITH
CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
City of Spartanburg Scene OF One or
Worst Cases in History
of the State.

Charles Garner, white, aged about
60 years, who lives at Saxon Mills,
was arrested Thursday morning by
constable Nelson on warrant issued
by Magistrate Kirby, charging him
with making criminal assault upon
his granddaughter, Nineva Burgess,
alias Sanders, aged nine years. Gar
ner was committed to Jail to await
a preliminary investigation which
will be held during the afternoon or
Friday morning.
The assault, it is alleged, was COM
mitted Tuesday night at the home OF
the girls mother, Mrs. Minnie Bur-
CESS, and the warrant was issued on
an affidavit of George Burgess, the
stepfather of the girl. The girls
mother has been married twice, her
first husband being man by the
name of Sanders. Nineva's father
died when she was quite young and
upon the marriage of her mother to
George Burgess she took the name OF
her stepfather. -
The story of the alleged assault is
one of the most revolving ever heard
of in this county, the details of which
are unfit for publication, for accord
ing to statements made by the girls
stepfather the alleged assault was a
most shocking and unnatural Grim
inal assault, and as result the girl
is said to be in a terrible condition. :.
MIR. Burgess, when he learned Of
the condition of his wife's little
daughter and heard her statement, ne
consulted Solicitor Sease, who ad-
vised him to call in physician, which
was done, DR.. A. D. Cudd being sum-
moned. AS a result of the visit OF
DR.. Cudd Mr.. Burgess called. at the
office of Magistrate Kirby and made
an affidavit upon which a warrant
was issued for the arrest of Garner.
Constable Nelson went out to Saxon
Mills Thursday and found Garner
at work in the mill. He was arrested
and brought before Magistrate Kir-
by. He denied the charge of abus-
ing the girl, though he said they oe-
cupied the same room at his daugh-
ter's home. Magistrate Kirby CON-
mitted Garner to Jail without bail to
await a preliminary hearing.
The investigation will be held dur
ing the afternoon or Friday morning
and at the preliminary hearing the
mother of the child, her stepfather
and several inmates of the Burgess
home will testify. - Spartanburg
