Strange as it may seem this

the king is wise enough to see,

the surrender of empty honors.
The news came from London
that the workingman's compul-.

compulsory insurance against
sickness and unemployment, IS
practically a law. 1t passes the
House of Lords Dec. IS, and
needs only the kings signature
to make it effective.

event the king will be asked to
name subsequent date, not later
than October l, for the unemploy-

England is governed by King,
whois ruled by the people; while
America, a republic supposed to

actually under the dictatorship of
a few money kings.
Of course it is matter of edu-

don't know of its existence or are
wilfu1ly blind to their country's

WHAT HE SAYS.
Senator TilIman Defines His Posi-
ton in Gubernational Race.

THE sentiment given by Gov.
Blease at Barnwell Tuesday, con-
tains nothing new to me; for it is
only a rewrite of a letter / wrote
him recently, and in which / wrote
nothing to lead him to believe that
l had any intention of doing other
wise in the approaching guberna-
tional contest, than l stated to you
when you were here a few weeks
ago; that is that 1 intend to remain
strictly neutralin the campaign" +"
said Senator r. B. Tillman We'd
nesday, at his home in Trenton to
a representative to The Chronicle.
81 could not afford to take sides
in the contest for both Gov. Blease
and Judge Jones are personal and
political friends OF mine, and / have
told Blease that. 1 also told him
that, If / saw reason to take sides
against him at any time / certainly
would not knife him, but would tell
him before l told any one else.'
Senator Tillman smiled several
times, and winked during the read
ing of the article to him by the
Newspaper man - he somehow had
missed getting his paper Wednesday
''It is going to be a close fight"
he said and Blease is losing no
time. He is campaigning now and
has been for months.
He is keeping before the people
and he Is making friends in Seem
ingly doing nothing yet. The news
papers, somehow, always have some
kind OF a story about Judge Jones.
There are two things in Blease's
statement that ne is mistaken in
though.
"One is with regard to Richards
being in q frame-up to bring Judge
Jones out to oppose him. Why,
know that Richards was seriously
considering entry into the race him
self. 1t has been his ambition to be
governor and he thought that with
roy ondition-supposed to be liable
to drop off at any moment - IL he
could beat Blease and be governor,
he would be in line for promotion
and be able to beat any other man;
and he was one of the most surprls-
ed men in the State when Judge
Jones announced himself.
The other error Blease makes Is
in saying that was about to pub
lish a letter indorsing him in 1910,
but was persuaded from 1t by a
newspaper.
''I did write a letter such as he
speaks Of, but I did not publish 1t. l
changed my mind, and no newspa-
per nor man connected with a
newspaper had anything to do with
that letter not icing published af-

SNAKE CHOKES CHILD.
Teacher Unwinds Reptile and Whips
it to Death.

New Philadelphia, O., Oct. 25. -
A blacksnake five feet long coiled
several times around her neck,
nearly killed Lillian Porcher, aged
eight, Of Port Washington, Pa,
while she was at play during recess
at school,
The child was choked unconscious
and is in a critical condition. A
teacher pulled the snake from the
child's neck and killed it. The lit
tie girl and a companion were play
ing in a building in the school yard
when the snake dropped from the
rafters and coiled around her
neck. She tried to dash the reptile
TO the ground but it gripped tightly
and she fell struggling.
The other child danced up and
down in horror and screamed at the
top of her voice. This attracted the
teacher. When the later entered
the building the Porcher child,
black in the face was unconscious.
The teacher seized the snake by the
neck and, unwinding it, whipped it
to pieces against the wall

CHILDREN FAKE STORY.
Little Girl Had Been Moved BY
Stories to Stir up a Great SEN
sation.

Several days ago a sery sensation
al story of an assault on two little
girls at Rocky Mount was told in
the papers, and the man, who was
suspected was arrested, and was
identified by the girls, one of them
IL years old and the other 10.
Nothing has been said Of tthe mat
ter lately; it was left like the SEN
sational stories in the papers, right
where it was the most sensational.
The mob was after the negro and
1t was uncertain whether the sher-
itf could protect him or not.
The story comes from Rocky
Mount that the whole story was a
fake gotten up by two girls to Gre
ate an excitement.
The sheriff was suspicious of the
story when it was told by the chill
dren but the mob believed it and
thought that they were doing their
duty by their families and the race
in trying to lynch the negro.
1t is understood that the children
had been hearing and reading sen
sational stories throughout the coun
try which have been very frequent
in the papers recently and they
thought that they would get up a
sensation on their own account, 80
they made up the tale and only the
fact that the sheriff was a level
headed man saved that section Of
the country on outbreak of lawless-
ness.
The sheriff got the story from the
children after some persuasion.

R. ]. Chason, of Parkton, broth
er of Chief of Police Chason of
Fayetteville, who was killed there
three years ago by Tom Walker,
a negro blind tiger, was shot and
instantly killed this afternoon by
Township Constable AL. J. Pate, af-
ter Chason had inflicted what may
prove a fatal wound on the officer,
as result of a row between Cha
son and a youthful lemonade ven
der outside the grounds of the Fay
etteville fair. The lemonade man,
in the rush of the Homecoming
crowds, split some lemonade on a
woman's dress, when Chason, who
was said to be intoxicated, took the
matter up and attacked the vender,
stabbed him In the back. Constable
Pate intervened to save the life of
the younger man and received the
knife in his own throat. He fired
and killed his attacker almost in
stantly.
Pate was removed to the High
smith Hospital, where he is now ly-
ing in a precarious state. This is
the first fatality that has occurred
in connection with the Cumberland
fair in forty years, a man having
been killed about that number of
years ago at almost the same spot
as that of tO-day's tragedy.
