Large Vote in Sumter

Every effort should be made tc
the end of polling a large vote in
Americus and at all of the county
precincts. There are 1 900 white vot-
ers and $50 colOred voters register
ed, and of this grand total Bryan

get 1000 votes.
There must not be a feeling oi

A mere plurality vote would be
unfortunate and in such event the
election, so far as Georgia is con-
cerned, would be in doubt as il
would have to be determined by the
legislature, called in extra session.
There are technical reasons why il
may be contended that the new legis-
lature cannot be legally assembled
until next June and in the meantime
the Georgia election would go by
default if thrown into the legisla-

Hudson is Quite Hopeful
Hon Thomas G. Hudson, state
commissioner of agriculture, was
in Americas yesterday and, like
others. discussed the presidential
race. While realizing the enormous
strength of the opposition backed by
millions of money, Col Hudson is
quite hopeful of democratic sue
cess.
He believes the contest in Ohio
and New York will be closer than the
republican hosts imagine, and he
hopes for victory there.
But it is here in Georgian Sum-
ter-that we must work
Secretary Blackburn figures that a
Bryan vote of upward of 100000 will
be necessary to insure his election
against any possible mishaps He
assigns Watson 10000, Taft 10000 to
$4,000 and the remaining Presiden-
tial tickets a combined total of 10,-
coo.
This will give the combined oppo
sition upwards of 10000 votes and
Bryan will have to get over 10000
votes possibly 100000 votes to over
come them.

SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1908.
WITH CHARITY TO ALL.

The carnival of blood which has
been in progress at Springfield, the
capitol of the great state of Illinois,
for the past few days, is most hor-
rible to contemplate. The story need
not be told here, as it is all too fam
liar to every reading person in the
world. That such diabolical crimes
could be perpetrated in the home of
Abraham Lincoln in the very shadow
of the mousoleum wherein the re-
mains of the sainted martyr lie,
seems almost incredible.
The Appeal never has, nor will it
ever condone crime; nor does it OBJ
ject to the punishment fitting the
crime, but it most strenuously objects
to punishment being inflicted by
other than the legally constituted adj
ministrators of the law.
There is not, nor can there be any
valid excuse for any such actions as
characterized the mobs of Springfield.
Governor Deneen speaking in ref
erence to the riot said:
ut is as intolerable as it is mex
cusable. The idea of wreaking ven
geance upon race for the crimes of
one of it's members is utterly repug-

foremost in the fight for further SUI
premacy for Chicago commercially and
industrially. He is. president of the
Western Stone company, employing
a large number of men, He has never
been active in any other business. He
started in the stone business with
this company at the age of 10 as
water boy, earning SO cents a day. He
has risen from the position Of water
boy to president of this great con-
Germ simply BY hard work, natural
ability, honesty, and application to
the duties given him to perform.
Throughout his life he has been
worker. He has made a reputation
of succeeding in spite of great odds
of keeping everlastingly at things I'M
til he accomplishes what he sets out
to do.
He has made for himself with the
men of the nation permanent place.
He is able at all times to command at
tention from them, and his presence
on the floor of Congress has added
greatly to the prestige of Chicago in
that body.

years in the Chicago city council.
During that time he handled the i'm
portant projects for the continued de-
yelopment Of Chicago, for the worlds
fair, for the building of a greater
city commercially. industrially and
artistically.
He was one of the leading spirits
in the work of securing the dedica-
ton of old Dearborn park to the pub
lie library, and on this ground the
present beautiful library building
stands.
During the administration of Mayor
Washburne Mr.. Madden presided over
the city council for two years.
In 1896 Mr.. Madden represented the
First congressional district jim the
Republican national convention. He
was one of those who from the first
advocated the gold plank in the Re-
publican platform of that year.
In 1900 he was delegate from the
same district to the Philadelphia con-
vention and there served on the con-
mittee that drafted the platform. He
was a member of the subcommittee
that actually did the work, and he
personally wrote the .isthmian canal

convention. This recommendation
has since been enacted into law by
Congress. ~

RIGHTS OF AFRO-AMERIcANS.


1.-THE republican platform refers
to these amendments to the Con-
stitution that were passed by the
republican party for the protec-
ton of the Afro-American. The
Afro-American, in the forty years
since he was freed from slavery,
has made remarkable progress.
He is becoming a more and more
valuable member of the COM
nunities in which he lives. The
education of the Afro-American
is being expanded and improved
in every way. The best men of
both races, at the north as we'll
as at the south, ought to rejoice
to see growing up among the
southern people an influential ele-
ment disposed to encourage the
Afro-American in his hard strug-
gle for industrial independence
and assured political status. The,
republican platform, adopted at
Chicago, explicitly demands JUS
tice for all men without regard
to race or color, and just as ex-
pIicitIy declares for the enforce
ment, and without reservation, in
letter and spirit Of the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution. 1t is
needless to state that stand

plank in the platform, and believe
that equal justice to all men and

Evidently the firing of Billy Lush,

not without its difficulties. They are look

the latest one being to the effect that
Lush tried to induce Tad Jones to sign
a Cleveland contract. According to ad-
vices from New Haven Lush made Jones
an offer to sign with Cleveland. Ihere-
upon the college athletic managers devel-
cped a big bundle of soreness. tearing
their star ball player would be snatched
into what the collegians evidently consid-
or "the profane ranks of professionalism.
Truly il is to "laff." If Lush had a
chance to place Jones and Jones wanted
to be placed the Yale coach's action
would appeal to all as perfectly regular.
However. no offer was made for the sim
ple reason that Lush was not authorized
TO tender Jones Cleveland contrae.. .

IMAGINE THE CUBS
WITHOUT CHANCE

CHICAGO. February ). Manager
Frank Chance of the worlds champion
Cubs will not reach Chicago this week.
as expected, He is at his home in Los
Angeles suffering from neuritis in his
eft foot. He underwent an operation for
the complaint recently, but it proved un-
successful and advices from Los An
geles are TO the effect that the Cub
eader fears a second operation will be
necessary to prepare him for the coming
campaign for the National League PEN
nant.
The aillnent is the result of an old
bruise which kept the Cub leader on the
bench during practically a third of the
last championship season. He played ball
when in anything but fit condition. and
after the close of the season the in
famed nerve became worse and the Cub
boss was operated on. The Immediate
effects of the operation were beneficial,
but the old trouble returned. and now,
instead of being on his way to Chicago.
going under the knife second time. An
other operation will be necessary, how
ever, if advices from Los Angeles are
true.
If the second operation does not cure
the trouble there is a probability that the
great first baseman. fearless base runner.
powerful batsman and successful leader
of the Tiger tanners will be forced to
warm the bench during a great part of
the coming season, If, indeed, he is able
to play at all.
According to his present plans, Chance
intends to remain on the coast for two
weeks more. and perhaps longer. ne will
not start east until he has fully recovered
from the ailment which has been bother
ing him.
