those who had been initiated into the
plan began shouting, "Madman
Mailman! Hydrophobia! Get out of
his way!" while others closed in
around him and seemingly terrific
struggle followed, but Rush threw
them off and continued his wild ca
reer, still foaming at the mouth and
swapping at every one he passed. He
headed straight for the negroes.
Colonel Stillman was dancing about
on the edge Of the crowd brandishing
colossal horse-pistol, and shouting
at the top Of his voice: "That man
has been bitten by maddog, and has
hydrophobia. Get out Of the way and
let me shoot him before he bites
somebody
The negroes didn't seem to realize
what was in the air till Rush got
mixed up in the thickest part Of the
crowd, and the young reporter put
his hands on the shoulders Of big
negro, and giving a vault landed on
top of the mass Of blacks. They were
packed SO closely that he couldn It
get to the ground, so he crawled
around on the heads and shoulders
of the negroes and threw lather all
over the whole congregation, all the
time giving vent to weird sort of
howl. After he got started he de-
cided to play the game to the limit,
so he picked out the cleanest looking
ear he could find and took hold with
his teeth and stayed there. Rush fig
ured that the soap in his mouth would
act as a disinfectant and he knew his
friends wouldn't allow him to be pros
ecuted for mayhem.
It WASH It long before the negroes
stampeded and began to scatter, and
in a few seconds the only negro left
at the polling place was the one who
had his ear clamped in Rush teeth
Rush pulled the stalwart black
around like terrier handling a rat;
then giving him a final shake he let
him go. He went off like shot, and
then the whites started voting -
and again old Edgefeld "saved the
day."
The first thing Rush did after the
polls closed was to send doctor to
look for the negro with a hole in his
ear; and the first official act Of the
new governor was to make Rush a
colonel on his staff an empty honor,
maybe, but one still highly priced in
the South.

Compared with the paper Of today,
with its superb equipment Of power
presses, linotypes, mailing machines,
leased wires and long-distance tele-
phone connections, the old-time coun-
try weekly was primitive indeed, and
limited in its facilities, but it pos
sessed rare excellence, for its chances,
and was, as it claimed to be, devoted
to the interests Of its State and Sec
ton. It was intensely conservative
and viewed innovations with caution,
even with distrust It was pictur-
esque and somewhat pompous, an
nouncing its purpose and mission
with the sonorous roll of verse, in
such notices as these: "Hew to the
line, let the chips fall where they
may''; or, "My country may she al
ways he right; but, right or wrong,
my country; or this:
"This Argus Ger the peoples rights
Doth an eternal vigil keep;
Not all the strains Of Maia's son
Can lull his hundred eyes to sleep. -
The Clarion was fair representa-
tive Of the better class of the coun-
try weekly. The paper had in its
earlier days enjoyed the distinction of
being the mouthpiece Of man who
had made the successful voyage from
the executive mansion in Columbia to
the United States Senate. That was
in the days before the Civil conflict
when papers were scarce in South
Carolina. In the stormy days Of the
late sixties and early seventies the
Clarion was pronouncedly an "o--
gan," which meant probably then, as
now, a paper more or less inclined to
partisanship. At this particular pc
Rod the Clarion was edited by Col
onel Stillman, whose name was by no
means an index to his temperament.
Stillman was a politician; an Office
holder primarily, instinctively; that
is to say, he had been an office-holder
before the blacks and carpet-baggers
had got hold of the ship of state and
were riding her so roughly over the
choppy seas Of political incendiarism
and intrigue. So, according to the
political faith of Colonel Stillman the
government had been usurped, and he
made it the mission Of the Clarion to
wrest this power back where he be-
lieved it belonged.
The Colonel's only "staf man"
was a youth with an ambition to be
something and do something. Rush, :"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-11-05

said the colonel to the boy when he
was about to initiate him into the
mysteries Of the Fourth Estate, "you
are about to come into profession
that is as great as the law, as high
as the church, and sometimes as dir
ty as hell. Country journalism, my
boy, is the kindergarten Of experience,
the high school Of finance, the acad-
envy Of evolution, the college Of cour-
age, the university of life. There will
be times when you will probably wish
yourself back on the farm milking
the COW or holding the calf. But you
may have the satisfaction of knowing
that if you stick YOU IL be boss Of the
whole thing some day; I've neither
kith nor kin, as you know. Take what
salary [ give you and work like the
devil. I reckon you get the idea?"
eyes," answered Rush, laconically,
and he went to work next day.
Rush took hold with an energy that
was commendable and a knack that
was surprising even to himself. In a
few months time the colonel felt safe
in leaving the Clarion in Rush's
hands for whole issues at time, and
with the assistance of old man
Knowles, who had been foreman for
quarter Of century (and who, with
the office "devil," constituted the
mechanical force), Rush found little
difficulty in making his issues on
time.
It was in the year 1878. Those who
are familiar with the history of South
Carolina since the sixties will recall
that there was considerable voting
done at an election in 1876. A good
ly number Of the ballots. cast on this
occasion we're polled at the Edge
field box; indeed it was conceded that
Edgefeld saved the day for the
White Mans government The cleo
ton two years later, in 1878, was also
an important and exciting contest,
and was as fercely contested by the
contending political parties as the
election Of '76; indeed this was the
crucial test, as the negroes made
last desperate effort to get back into
power, and it was only after another

the whites that they were prevented
from doing so. In this election, as in
'76, Edgefeld "did her whole duty"
1t was the morning of election day.
From all over the State came whisper
ings that the negroes had organized

and would attempt to carry the cleo
ton by force, aided and abetted by
certain INSCRIPTIONS white men. Up
in Columbia the legislature was still
in session, the blacks lacking only
nine votes Of having a majority. The
political complexion of the State was
blue, that is, that part Of it which
was not black.
The polls had opened at sunrise,
and the voting place was quickly sur
rounded by negroes. It was evident
that it was their intention to mass.
themselves around the polls and thus
prevent the whites from voting. In
fact, that was the plan Of the blacks,
to hold the polls as long as possible
The true status of affairs soon be-
came known. People crowded the
Clarion Office seeking the colonel in
the hope that he might have sug-
gestion to offer giving a solution of
the difficulty.
After half an hours discussion,
during which each citizen grew more
and more exasperated, the colonel
and several leaders we're discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of an armed attack,
when Rush injected himself into the
discussion and declared his belief
that he could run every negro away
from the polls without firing a shot
The crowd was constrained to laugh
at first, but after Rush had explained
his plan the leaders agreed to let him
try it.
Rush selected a few discreet men
and told them his plan in detail and
instructed them as to what part he
wanted them to play. He then went
to the drug store and purchased a
stick of shaving soap, being particu-
lar to specify one that would "lather
freely" Cutting the piece Of soap in
two he put half of it in his mouth
and commenced chewing vigorously.
He soon had copious froth, or
lather, around his lips, to which he
added a pinch of dyestuff to give it
the color Of blood, and then he de-
clared himself ready for business. In
the meantime those who had been
posted had been circulating among
the whites and telling them what was
coming, SO they were in a measure
prepared for what followed.
In a few minutes Rush came rum
ming wildly down the street, frothing
at the mouth and apparently having
CONFUSION at every jump. Some of

WELL Presented
TONIGHT THE GREAT FRENCH
DRAMA, CAMILLE" is
ATTRACTION.

There was another fine crowd at
the Eagles Pavilion last night, the
attraction being THE Little Minis
ter" Mr.. Barrie's bonny story of
Scotland Z IS been widely read, and
is one of the prettiest ever written.
The love of Lady Babbie and the
minister is most delicious to read
and delightful to behold, and it
would be poor company that could
ruin the telling of it. Miss Harper
is a better Nell Gwynne than a Lady
Babbie. but she bestows many pretty
isms on the latter that are very
fetching, in lieu of the sweet natured
charm which encompasses the be-
witching little lady herself. She
makes a pretty picture, but lacks the
shading; the bright. alluring tones
are there, but the delicate tints are
missing; there is conviction wanting.
1t is a pretty play, "The Little
Minister with graceful climax to
every act. Joseph DERRICK as the min
lister was very good. He impaired
to the character a gentle dignity,
which unbended readily and most
naturally to the simple charm of Bah
bic as the tempting gypsy. He was
manly and chivalrous, and played
the part without effort. He was the
sort of man for the Lady Babbie to
fall in love with, and well sustained
the role in all its phases.
George B. Berrill gave us fine
piece of character work in the role
of Thomas Whammond, the sexton
His Scotch humor was appealing, and
his dilemma between his duty to the
kirk and his love for the minister
was a strong piece of acting. Fol

CANNOT SUPPORT
TOO Strongly
CHARITABLE WORK DONE BY
THE SALVATION
ARMY.

The Salvation Army desires to re-
turn thanks to j. S. Marshall and
Richard Davis for their kind action
in turning over to the army the resi-
due of the fund of Decoration day.
These gentlemen could not conceive
a more worthy charity, and the army
had on its hands some needy cases
to dispose of. In this extremity, J..
G.. Crumley also came to the assist
ance, and to him also the army de-
sires to return its need of thanks.
And for the army let it be said
that Adjutant Bigney and Captain
Rogers have been doing all kinds of
commendable work in ministering to
the wants of the needy. These young
women have been doing most excel
lent work in the community, ferret
ing out cases which needed prompt
action, and taking that action There
are many here about which the pub
lie at large knows nothing, who have
cause to bless the efforts oS> the army
lasses; and that the community ap-
proves and appreciates the work is
evidenced by the support which the
army is receiving. For that matter,
the public cannot be too strong in
it's support of the Salvation Army.

COSLETT TRIAL
DRAGGING ALONG

According to the testimony of Mrs.
Clark, Mrs. Coslett, who is seeking
divorce from her husband, was very
fond of A. d. Mcleod, the gentle
manly witness who appeared in court
on Monday with gun on him. Mrs.
Clark said that she entered the home
of the Cosletts one morning and
came upon Mrs. c. and Nc in the
attitude of Romeo and Juliet; that
is, that their actions were such as
one would expect of very young per-
sons of opposite sex, who were very
much in love with each other. Ac-
cording to this witness, Mrs. Coslett
had kind and gentle words for Mr..
Mcleod, and rough ones for her
hubby.
Then the defendant took the stand
and told of more endearing passages
between his wife and Mr.. Mcleod.
The latter, he said, was wont to comb
and stroke the tangled tresses of his
wife, and Mrs. Coslett seemed to like
the operation. She used to go to
dances with Mcleod and stay out
late, and refused to share such di-
versions with Mr. Coslett. The case
is still dragging, but will probably
wear out today.

MOVEMENT in
near future

1t is said that there may be some
movement in the matter of the State
Bank and Trust Company within the
near future. President Hickey was
in Goldfield yesterday, or will be
there today, having been to Bullfrog,
inspecting the Keane-Wonder mine
for several days. From Goldfield he
will probably come here.
The National Safe Deposit Com
pany is accepting checks on all banks,
including the State Bank and Trust
Company, for the purchase of certain
listed and unlisted stocks. This helps
the situation a little.
