The Man for Sheriff
WILLIAM II. IKNELL.
A Splendid Record.

Mr.. Knell is making his campaign
IS a candidate for sheriff solely on
his record Of efficiency and economy,
and not with tae stereotyped prom
fses generally made by candidates as
y whnt they will do if elected to Of
fee. In view cf this fact Mr.. Knell's
campaign is making good progress,
end every indication points to his
nomination and ultimate election.
According TO established custom,
every office holder is reelected as an
endorsement il his first term has
been one which merits such conf
uence. Mr.. knell seeks that endorse
ment. The voters of Milwaukee
county arc rapidly realizing the folly
Of electing inexperienced sheriffs ey-
cry two years, and it Is for that rea-
son that they are eager to support
Mr. Kpel.
Startling facts are shown in com
parison made by Mr.. Knell between
heriffs of experience and those of
inexperience Statistics taken from
sworn statements fled with the coun-
tv clerk show that in one year Mr..
Knell saved the taxpayers, in the re-
CENTS and disbursements of civil

fees, $4,00333. These figures are
based upon the records of receipts
and expenditures during the years
1907 and 1909, when conditions as
I to number of employees and mode of
conveyance were exactly alike under
the two separate administrations.
In view Of the enormous difference
shown during the terms of Office of
an experienced and an inexperienced
sheriff, Mr. Knell puts to the voters
the proposition of whether the sher-
ifs department shall again be placed
on a basis of efficiency and economy,
or whether the county shall risk fur
Their extravaganza and inefIiciency by
continuing to experiment with mex
perience
Mr.. Knell's record is replete with
achievements owing to his wide
knowledge Of and experience in the
oilice for which he is a candidate for
reelection 1t was through his mi
tatiye that the system of rural pa
troll was established, whereby rura
residents were given proper protec.
tion. II was through his foresight
that disorder and general lawlessness
in the county was reduced to the
minimum. Residents of the county
stil appreciate that service and are
enthusiastic in their support of Mr.
Knoll
The caliber of the sheriff's force /!
Identical with that of the sheriff. Al
experienced sheriff, knowing all tn,
requirements of the office, will ap
Doint a force of competent men. Al
Inexperienced sheriff, not possessing
this knowledge, must Of necessit!
make many appointments which vii
prove detrimental to the service.
With an inexperienced sheriff wha
measure of protection do the resi-
dents Of the county believe they will
receive? Can inefIiciency and mex
perieuce give the rural districts thu
protection to which they are en-
titled?
Mir, Knell gave prompt, eflicien
and intelligent service to the court
and attorneys He was economical
in the expenditure of public moneys
and saved the taxpayer and rentpay
er thousands of dollars by PERSONAL,
supervising the work of the Office
He did not tolerate loose methods
diseourtesy or laXity in the adminis
tration of the duties of the office, ant
he could not be coaXed or coercet
into appointing men not fit for sery
ice.
Can the county afford to continue
experimenting with inetliciency? w
think not.

YOUNG BOY BULLETS VICTIM.
Charley Reyan Accidentally Killed by
James Garrison.

Spartanburg, Oct. 15.-While sit
ting beside his mother on the front
porch of their home, at Tucapau, a
cotton mill settlement near this city,
Charlie Revan was shot and instant
" killed by James Garrison this af-
ternoon. The dead boy was but six
wears old, and Garrison was two years
his senior.
Garrison's father had been using
his shotgun during the day and a
shell became caught in it in some un-
accountable manner. The youth got
hold of it, and while experimenting
with the fire arm, it went off with ia
tai results. The coroner's verdict
was that the deceased came to his
death by an accidental gunshot
wound.

The editor of the Walterboro Press
and Standard has put himself in
hole by his answer to the telegram
sent him, for he says he is not willing
for the people of Warren township to
vote themselves into better county
even were the name of that county
changed to Warren and Smoaks made
the county seat. We would not mis-
represent him for anything, but this
answer can only mean, it appears to
us, that the people of Warren town
ship must be kept as hostages fo1
taxes in Colleton, no matter no"
much they could better their condi'
tion by change. This is hardly
magnanimous. He should want the
very best thing for his people, and
by voting themselves into a better
county and having the county called
Warren and Smoaks made the county
seat, he ought to be glad that the peo'
ple among whom he was born ano
reared should thus have the opportu'
nifty to better themselves, and ne
should say: Eyes, while we hate
to lose you, we realize it is fol
your best interest to go elsewhere
and we are glad that you are tt
better your condition. But he
is selfish enough to say no anc
thus commit himself to the PROPOSE
ton that he is willing to keep thu
people of Smoaks and Warren town
ship down.

At last the newspapers of the Sec
ond district are waking up on the
subject of that scurrilous circular let
ter issued during the congressional
campaign. All efforts to find out
the author have apparently been
dropped since the primaries, and it
begins to look mighty suspicious to d
great many people. We trust that
the newspapers of the district will
keep up the agitation until they force
action in the matter.

ROLL OF TRAGEDIES.
Which Marked End of Persons Con
nected With Death of Lincoln.

Through the suicide of fine old
soldier who was buried here to-day
another name has been added to the
roll of tragedies which have marked
the end of several persons connected
with the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln and the capture Of his slayer,
John Wilkes Booth. The name is
that of John F. Stanley, an inmate
of the Soldiers Home in Vineland,
who killed himself in lodging
house in Commerce street, this city,
last week, having despaired of his
effort to conquer his craving for
liquor.
Not until recently was it known
here Stanley was one of the men who
captured Booth. He also had an in
teresting civil war record, as shown
by newspaper clippings and other
documents produced by his wife.
She lives with a daughter at No. 18th
street, Passaic, and with the daugh-
ter came here to-day to attend the
funeral.
From April 22 to April 26. 1856,
Stanley was a member of the detach-
ment, under Lieut.. T. B. Doherty,
which embarked on the steamer John
B. Ode in Belle Plain, crossed the
Rappahannock river and traced Booth
and Herold to CARROTS farm. There
Herold was arrested and Booth was
shot. Stanley was member of the
party which brought Booths body
back to Washington and turned Her.
old over to the provost marshal.
1t would seem as if strange ia
tality had been in store for those who
witnessed the tragedy of April IA,
1865, or were present at the cap
ture and death of the assassin.
Among the names of those on the list
is that of Mrs. Lincoln, who never
recovered from the shock and went
out of her mind before death relieved
her sufferings. More recently, Major
Henry Rathborne has been reported
dying in an insane asylum in Ger
many. He was confined after he
killed his wife, formerly Clara Har-
ris. With her he was guest in the
Presidents box on the night of the
assassination.
Sergt. Boston Corbett, who shot
Booth as he came out of the blazing
barn, died in a madbouse in Kansas
after Re had developed a mania to
kill himself. Laura Keene, the ac-
tress, who helped to care for the
wounded President, never regalned
her old spirit after the tragedy.
Still another whose name may be
mentioned in connection with that OF
Stanley and the rest, is that of o.
iver W. Cooke. He was connected
with the government service during
the wal, duu Ou CuC Al5AI VI ShS ~
sassination was in Ford's theatre and
sat close to the stage. When Booth
leaped from the box to the stage,
Cooke sprang after him and was the
first from the audience to do so. He
afterward said his ignorance of the
passageway behind the stage prevent
ed him from following the assassin.
Four years ago Cooke, not in ro-
bust health, but still able to attend
to his duties as a tax official of Sus-
sex county, was found in the morning
kneeling at his bedside lifeless.-

waiting on us.
