REPUBLICAN CAPERS.
Effort to Form Lilly White" Par
ty in This State.

At the call of National Republican
Committeeman John G Capers,
erstwhile dispenser of Federal
pie" for this State, meeting was
held in Columbia Thursday, October
q, for the purpose of organizing a
white Republican party in South
Carolina. From q lengthy report
of the meeting published in the Col
umbia Record We Gull the follow
ing excerpts:
Shortly after noon National Com
mitteeman CaperS called the con-
vention to order. Several hundred
persons.were present. Capt Capers
read the call, issued by himself, upon
which the body had met. He said
in part:
1t should be stated at the outset
that this convention was not assem-
bled at the suggestion of the admin
istration in Washington. The fact
that we have as delegates very few,
if any, Federal cfice-holders and
that there will not be an officer Of
this new organization from chairman
down to doorkeeper who holds a
Federal office should be the best ev-
idence of the fact the convention is
here in answer to call from the
people of South Carolina to take ad-
vantage of the fact that there does
not now exist Republican organi-
zation in this State operating under
either the State or the party law
upon such matters.
This should not be taken to
mean, however, that we entertain
any antagonism to our splendid
national administration, or to our
patriotic and wise President, but
simply as an expression of our indie
pendence of Federal patronage in
organizing high class opposition
party which we believe will develop
so as to be representative of the
brains, culture and business inter-
ests of our State"
The total number of delegates
present was 113. A resolution was

HOMICIDE NEAR CADES.
Negro Boy Stabs Another with
fatal Effect.

Last Friday a warrant was placed
in Sheriff Graham's hands for the
arrest of Charlie Grant, charged
with the murder of Henry or War
rem Cuttino. The homicide occurred
at the camp of the Atlantic Coast
Corporation near Cades. on or about
Friday, October Fl, but no steps
were taken looking to the arrest
of the slayer until last Friday, when
the parents of the dead boy swore
out a warrent against Charlie Grant.
Cuttino was about twelve years
old, it is said, and his slayer is about,
the same age. The two boys while
playing began fighting, when Grant
drew his knife and stabbed Cuttino
to death. The youthful murderer is
thought to be hiding somewhere in
GEORGETOWN county.

during the day inclined to lean

down and remained quiet, seeming

get no better, Mr. Tyler killed the
animal to relieve its suffering. This

II Ia a Mistake

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True,
few sales might be made by adverts-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article Is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth Recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar In
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing well
advertised goods, especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar
cts. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed OF on you.

Latest Kansas Events.


This summer marks the advent OF
new line of work in the engineering
department at the agricultural college
that of normal manual training The
civil. electrical and mechanical en-
gineering courses have always re-
uuired woodwork, wood turning, black
smithing, foundry and machine shop
work and plenty of it, but the courses
were not designed for the high school
class of work, nor with the view OF
developing manual training teachers,
the work in those courses being prf-
marily organized on an engineering
basis and not tending to anything like
wood carvig or ornamentation. This
summer a six weeks manual training
school is being conducted with the OBJ
ject of equipping young men LOT
teaching such work Every student
enrolled so far as a graduate OF the
college, and all of them have manual
training positions for next fall. These
men have all had the regular shop
work offered by the college, so they
are devoting their time to developing
suitable courses for high schools.

To Sue for overcharees.

Members of the Wichita transporta-
ton bureau are preparing to file suit
with the Interstate Commerce COM
mission to secure the refund of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 alleged
overcharge during the past two years
on freight entering the city over rail-
roads from the east. The suit grows
out of recent decision by the su-
preme court of the United States that
certain rates ordered into effect by
the Interstate Commerce commission
nearly two years ago are reasonable
and should stand The railroads pro-
tested against this ruling and took the
matter into the courts, in the mean
time charging from 2 to 811 cents per
hundred more on freight than the new
rates ordered. The transportation bu-
reau here is now busy collecting all
expense bills from wholesalers and
other large shippers on shipments
originating in Atlantic seaboard terri
tory. These bills will be filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission
as a basis for the claims to be made
