Democrats Should Vote

This is the year of all presidential
years that Democrats should vote.
This a year that Democrats must
vote. There are several reasons
why all Democrats should go TO the
polls on next Tuesday and cast their
ballot for the party nominees, and
we shall give some of the most per-
tinent of these.
As rule all the fighting that
Democrats do is in the primaries.
The nomination is equivalent to
election and when the general
election comes large per centage
of the voters do not take trouble to
go to the polls. In this way Demo.
cratic congressman are chosen by a
vote that is very small as compared

And such vote is the basis of the
rabid, partisan speeches made by
Republican congressman in their
efforts to cut down the COMPRESSION.
al representation in the South.
This is one reason why every
Democrat should go to the polls on
next Tuesday and vote
But there are other reasons, es-
pecially in this congressional dis
trict. Mr.. Old6eld, a resident Of
this district, is the regular Demo.
cratic nominee for congress and Is
opposed 10y Mr.. Myers, a Little
Rock Republican who has not lived
in this districtfor number of years.
Both these gentlemen are nice, clean,
able men and each is making clean
but vigorous campaign fer the
office, and nobody doubts but that

iority in each of the twelve counties

BOY BURNED AT STAKE.
Seventecn-Year.Old Black Lad At
tackled White Girl in Texas.

Greenville, Texas.-Ted Smith, a
seventeen-year-old negro boy, who
assaulted Miss Viola Delaney three
miles from Greenville, was burned at
the stake in the public square here in
broad daylight. Z
Miss Delaney is the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. H. Delaney, living
three miles southwest of Greenville.
While her father was in the field
blowing and her mother was visiting
at a neighbours house, a short dis
lance away, the girl started out to
the rural mail box, 800 yards from
her home.
When she reached a point near the
mail box the negro came out from his,
hiding place in{the woods, held a pis-
toll at her face and attacked her.
After the crime he tried to make
his escape, but the girl raj to the
house and gave the alarm. Soon
there were about 500 men, together
with the officers, searching and scour-
ing the Cadde Creek bottom for the
negro. He was captured and put in
Jail.
The news that the negro was in
jail soon leaked out, n the people
began to congregate faster and pour
in from the rural districts, until the
throng swelled to 5000 or 5000 by 8
o'clock in the morning.
The peace officers did all they
could to save the prisoners life, and
speeches we're made in the public
square by District Judge R. L. Porter
and District Judge T. D. Montrose,
who promised that a special Grand
Jury would be e~mpanelled, the negro
tried, and, if convicted, would be
hanged by law, all in one day.
This did not satisfy the crowd, and
they demanded of Sheriff Hemsell
that he send the negro out to the
girls home and let her identify him,
or else they would take him by force.
About a dozen officers started with
the prisoner. They made the trip,
and on their return reached the jail
door, when the crowd pressed for.
ward, overpowered the officers and
took the prisoner, dragged him to
the public square and burned him.

New York City.-Swindling opera
lions which have netted more than
$1,000 900 a year for the last three
years will be revealed, the police be-
lieve, through the capture Of Freder-
lex Gondorff.
Gondorff was arrested on the
charge of having swindled Frederick
Holznagel, a Scranton hotel proprie-
tor, out of $4,000 on a fake prize
fight, and it Is said the evidence will
implicate him in the robbing of Will
lam F. Walker, who looted the New
Britain Savings Bank Of more than
100000.
At the examination in the Tombs
Court every effort will be made to
have Gondorff held on the complaint
of Holznagel, in order to give the de-
t~ectives an opportunity to locate the
band of swindlers. Although using
Holznagel's charge to hold Gondorf,
the detectives of the Central Office
are after much bigger game. in the
shape of bonds, valued at $4,000,
which were part Of the loot stolen by
Walker from the New Britain bank.
These bonds, consisting Of $4,000
of Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail-
road securities, $4,000 of. Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul bonds, $l5,-
900 Rochester and Pittsburg bonds
and a number of other smaller par
cells, have never been disposed Of,
and it is declared that they are still
in the possession of the members OF
the swindling band to which Gondorff
is suspected of belonging.
Band Had Immense Resources.
The immense resources of this band
Is illustrated by the story of Holzna-
gel, who declares that, while they
were dipping him, they made a flash
of %s23O,0O0. He says that this was
in genuine currency and not stage
money, as he personally handled the
cash, and declares that it would have
been impossible to deceive him.
According to Holznagel the swind-
lers pursued the same tactics with
him as they did with Walker. with
the exception that they used the prize
fight game, instead Of the wire tap
ping scheme. One Of the band, who
went by the name of Weber, stopped
at Holznagel's hotel in Scranton and
gained the boniface's confidence ~ a
legitimate business proposition.
Weber represented himself as a
bond salesman. Holznagel is inter-
ested in some coal lands in Tennes-
see which he is anxious to sell. On
learning this, Weber told Holznagel
tht he knew some millionaires who
we're also interested in coal. lands.
and that he might be able to dispose
of Holznagel's holdings. .
The specific millionaires mentioned
were the Cudahys, Of Chicago. Web
Der, after some correspondence. ar
ranged a meeting with "Mr. Cuda.
hy's secretary" by the name of
"Blair." 1t was while the business
of disposing of the coal property was
being discussed that the swindling
game was preached. Blair said that
his employers were SPORTY and
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1908-08-19

, that they had a prize tighter by the
name of Sullivan whom they were
willing to back for any amount. Blair
said they were in Bridgeport, Conn.,,
and that Sullivan was with them. He
then unfolded a scheme by which
he and Holznagel were to win $780,
900 from the "Cudahys." He
said that he knew a prize fighter in
Boston, Collins by name, who could
defeat Sullivan. Holznagel agreed
that it was an easy way to get money
and the prize fight was arranged.
Holznagel put up $4,000 as his por7
ton Of the bet. Blair furnished the
other $4,000. The ''Cudahys"
backed Sullivan for $4,000. The
fight was pulled off in the Bridgeport
Fair Grounds. Of course Collins
lost, but Blair declared 1t was on a
fuke, and begged Holznagel to back
him for another fight.
Got $4,000 More.
The "Cudahys" offered to bet three
to one on the second fight, and Holz-
nagel hurried to Scranton to secure
more money. He returned with $10,-
900, which he put up on Collins, and
again he lost. 1t was at this fight
that $230,000 was bet, Blair stensi-
bly, making Wagers amounting to
$4,000. .
turned the money over to Blair, their
secretary, telling him to deposit it
and send checks to the winner. Blair
then made a proposition to Holznagel
that they run away with the money.
He told Holznagel to go to Albany,
to the Ten Eyck, where he would
meet him and divide. Holznagel
went, but Blair failed to meet him,
and Holznagel came to New York
and consulted Lawyer John M. Cole
man, of No. 115 Broadway, who laid
the matter before District Attorney
Jerome. Holznagel was taken to the
Rogue's Gallery, where he identified
the pictures Of Frederick Gondorf
and James Morgan, alias Deafy Nor
ris, as the two men who posed as the
Cudahys. The arrest of Gondorf
followed, and he was identified by
Holznagel as one Of the band.
The arrest of Gondorff Immediate
ly led the police to connect the men
Of the band with the Walker swind-
lers. His brother, Charles Gondorfr,
was arrested shortly after Walkers
flight, and was charged with having
been a party to the swindle, which
looted the New Britain Bank. Charles
Gondorff was held for trial and after
ward was released on $4,000 BAIL
furnished by Bob" Nelson. He ls
now running a gambling house in At
lantic City.
Walker, however, refused to impli.
cate any one in his stealing. He said
that he did not remember the names
of the men VINO swindled him. His
taciturnity destroyed the last hope
the Pinkertons had of recovering the
money. Frederick Gondorff's arrest
however, has changed the prospect
and. it is now believed that the $l2O,-
900 in bonds may be recovered.

Big Gooseberry Pies.

Yesterday was the anniversary OF
the time honored Gooseberry Fair at
Tollesbury, and a feature Of the sur
vival has always been the baking OF
huge g~ooseberry pies. The object
was to give a welcome home to faith
ers and brothers who have been
away on racing or pleasure yachts or
fishing, and each family used to pre-
pare a huge pie for its homecoming
seafarers in speciality large dishes.
There have been Tollesbury pies that
held as much as a peck or half a
peck Of fruit, and tradition even re-
lates that one pie was so large that
the local baker had to remove one or
two bricks to get 1t into his oven.-

the union, and to withdraw them
selves and their associates from deal
ings with, or giving custom to those
with whom they are in controversy.
Injunctions and Labor.
What they have not the right to do
is to ipjure their employers proper
ty, to injure their employers bust
ness by use OF threats or methods of
physical duress against those who
would work for him, or deal with
him, or by carrying On what is some
times known as a secondary boycott
against his customers or those with
whom he deals in business. All those
who sympathize with them may unite
to aid them in their struggle, but they
may not through the instrumentality
of a threatened or actual boycott
compel third persons against their
will and having no interest in their
controversy to come to their assist
ance. These principles have for a
great many years been settled by the
courts of this country.
Threatened unlawful injuries to
business, like those described above,
can only be adequately remedied by
an injunction to prevent them.
Asiatic immigration.
In the matter of the Limitation
upon Asiatic immigration, referred to
in the Democratic platform, it is suf-
ficient to say that the present Repub-
lican Administration has shown itself
able to minimize the/evils suggested.
For an Income Tax.
In my judgment an amendment to
the Constitution for an income tax is
not necessary. 1 believe that an in
come tax can and should be devised
which under the decisions Of the Su-
preme Court will conform to the Con-
stitution.
Election of Senators. : q
With respect to the election,, of
Senators by the people, personally L
am inclined to favor it, but it Is hard
ly a party question.
The Conclusion. .
AS said in our platform, we Repub-
licans go before the country, said
Judge Taft, asking the support, not
only of those who have acted with us
heretofore, but of all our fellow citi-
zens. whom, regardless of past politi-
cal differences, unite in the desire to
maintain the policies, perpetuate the
blessings and make secure the
achievements of a greater America.
. With the speech over, the scene
was shifted for the review of the par
ade. Judge Taft took his stand and
watched the marchers pas> by for
nearly two hours.
