Lore,s Labor Thrown Away.

Secretary of the Treasury Frank
lyn McVeagh, in addressing the bank
ers at Summeryille the other day
plead for two parties in South Caro-
lima. He was according to the rule
and precedent that obtains in the
section of country that he halls from,
talking to the very people in our
State who, if his wishes were car
ried out, and a real Republican party
organized in this section, would con-
'stitute it's backbone, and therefore he
thought he would do little mission
ary work among them, hoping it
would bear fruit in the future if
not now.
But we fear it will all be lost.
Our bankers don't have to get rich
off the people they serve, but get
rich with them, as the Florence
Times puts it. Therefore there is
no reason why our bankers should
be Republicans. They are among our
staunchest and best Democrats, De,
cause their interests lie so closely
with the interests of the people, and
there is plenty of money to be made
in this section without "gorging anT-
body" The Republican party is the
party of special privileges, which fat
tens off of the franchises granted 1t
to take other peoples money under
the guise of "supporting the govern
ment.
Our bankers do not need that kind
of thing down here to do pros
porous business. They are here to
help the people who are engaged in
Legitimate business, not to exploit
them, and by special governmental
favors rob them of their hard erned
money. There is where Mr.. Mac
Weigh and others like him make their
mistake in advocating a Republican
party in South Caronna. When one
is needed it will come, but it can't be
built up by artificial means, and held
together by cohesive plunder and rob-
berry of the masses, as it is done at
the North and West. There is no
room in the South for such party,
and it will never exist.

Parting Of the Ways.

Washington news dispatches be-
gin to show signs of recognizing the
tendency of American party politics,
long inevitable and now eliminating.
The Spartanburg Journal says they
1oresee stormy special session OF
congress-, but one so confusing in
party alignments that nothing pho
phetic can be said of it. Four par
ties are distictly visible. and the lam
iniferous lines run through both
chamb bers.
They foresee a Republican minor
ity in the house is irreconcilably di-
vided, with standpaters on one side
and progressives on the other; in
the Republican majority in the SEN
ate the same division appears. Thus
there are two Republican parties at
the capitol Each faction OF either
chamber co-operates with the cores
ponding faction in the other cham
Der.
The Democratic majority Of the
hose and minority Of the senate are
similarly divided. with plutocratlc
Democrats on one side and democrat
lie Democrats on the other. TIE soon
er a division takes place and new
political alignments are made, the
better for all concerned. Let the
Republicans in the Democratic party
go where they rightly belong. and
let the Democrats in the Republican
party do the same thing. linen the
political atmosphere would be con.
siderabIy cleared up.

ATTACKED BY WILDCATS.
A Farmer Nearly Killed by Two Of
the Beasts.

Edgar Clarkson, farmer at Paw
ling, missed one of his calves last
night, and early this morning went
in search Of it. In a clump Of bushes
near the foot of the Pawling Noun
tains, Clarkson stumbled on the body
of the missing animal, which two
wildcats were feeding.
In fash they sprang at him, car
rying him to the ground. AS he lay
on his back struggling the animals
bit and clawed him terribly. Siez-
ing the smaller of the animals by the
throat, he got to his feet, only 40 De
hurled to earth again by the cats
mate. Clarkson; almost blinded with
pain, struggled to his feet, siezed
club and Drained the smaller cat.
The other, animal sprang on his
neck and buried its sharp fangs in
his neck. Clarkson could not reach
the animal with his club, nor, owing
to it's hold, could it sieze it with his
hands. In a frenzy of pain he ran
blindly around in the bushes, scream
ing. Weak from his many wounds
he staggered against tree. where
he fell almost unconscious. His dog
came and killed the cat.

PLAN GENERAL PROBE.
Inquiry into Alleged Extravaganza il
Government Departments.

The first move in the sweeping
Democratic probe into governmental
extravaganza was taken Saturday
when Speaker Clark conferred behind
closed doors with the chairman OF
nine committees. whose inquisitions
are expected to show that many mil
lions are wasted annually.
Not since 1876 have these depart
ments been so exercised as at present.
The indications are that all the bu-
reaus will be turned topsy turvy,
salaries be cut right and left, posi-
tions abolished, bureaus eliminated
and much red tape discarded.
Under the house rule the appro-
priations committee is now empower
ed to cut salaries at will
Mr.. Ham!in introduceds resolu-
ton that afternoon giving the COM
mittees the authority to summon Wit
nesses. even cabinet officers, take
oaths. and investigate every govern
ment department to the bottom. 1t
will come up at an early date for
passage and the committees then
proceed with the probe which is e&-
pected to last during the session

ONE MAY DIED.
Two Young Men Exhibit Splendid
Courage.

Overcome by gas upon entering "a
sewerage manhole Tuesday, Joseph
Freer, a negro lad, was killed, and
H. G. Brown and D. R. Blakely OF
Greenville, white men, who went*to
his assistance, were also overcome.
Mr.. Brown was so seriously affected
that he Will die, but Mr.. BlakelE is
recovering, and will be himself in a
day or two.
The negro was sent into the man
hole to clean it out. In some way
the gases had collected, and before
he could give signal Of distress, be
collapsed and was drowned in the
cell
: Just as he fell over, Mr. Brown
jumped into the place to his relief.
He was one Of the section hands in
charge of the work. Hardly hac
he entered the place before the alarm
was given that he, too, had collapsed.
Mr.. Blakely, a junior at the medi-
cal college, undismayed by the e2-
perience of the two men. also jump
ed into the place, carrying a rope
with him. He quickly made it fast
to himself, Brown Freer, and immed-
lately willing hands raised the three
to the surface.
Freer was already dead, and
Brown nearly so, with Bfakely him.
self in bad shape for time. The
two men VINO had been overcome
were taken to the Roper Hospital
for treatment. The doctors announc-
ed almost at once that Brown could
not recover.
It was a splendid show Of heroism
in both Brown and Blakely going
to the assistance of the negro, and
Blakely was given much of an ova-
ton as he was brought to the top
and found to be still alive.

BILL WILL PASS
But DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLl-
CANS ARE DIVIDED.
The Reciprocity BIZ Causes
Trouble in Both the Old Party
Ranks
Ranks.

The Washington correspondent OF
The News and Courier says senti-
ment is not unanimous among the
Democrats in favor Of the Canadian
reciprocity treaty. but every day
brings new proof Of the absolute
decentralization into which the issue
has thrown the Republicans. The
division has entered even into the
subdivisions of the G. O. P.
! There are reciprocity and anti-rec-
! iprocity standpatters, and reciprocity
and anti-reciprocity insurgents, and
! often they get into arguments with
each other.
The Senate is taking things easily,
while the House works overtime; be-
fore long the House will be adjourn
ing for three or four days at clip,
while the Senate will be in constant
action.
Democratic leaders are prepared
:! for an attempt by some Of the Re-
!publicans, who oppose the Canadian
reciprocity bill, to embarrass the
Democratic majority in the passage
of the bill by proposing. as ala
amendment to it, section en:body-
ing all Of the free list that the DEM
acratic ways and means comm ttee
has prepared as the first Of the par
tvs tariff measures.
Opposition Republicans have
! charged in the House that if the
Democrats were in earnest to have
this free list passed, they would offer
it as part of the reciprocity bill, so
that President Taft could not find
occasion to veto it, even though it
did not meet with his approval.
! Chairman Underwood, Of the ways
and means committee, is apparently
proceeding on the belief that an
amendment to be talked into the free
list bill will be offered. He said
that such an amendment would be at
once ruled out of order. as it could
not be considered "germane to the
: BILL under the House rules pre-
mitting the offering Of amendments.
An effort is to be made to wind up
the open debate on the Canadian
agreement. The bill probably VIE
i; be brought up for final consideration,
amendment and passage Thursdey.
Henry George, Jr., of New York,
in his maiden speech in the House
during the reciprocity debate. pro-
claimed himself free trader and
said he had aligned himself with the
Democrats, because he believed it is
the only great party moving to-
ward the light.
He endorsed the Canadian agree
ment as tending toward freer trade;
and believed that eventually the I'm
tied States would have absolute free
trade with the world His speech did
not arouse any great enthusiasm on
the Democratic side.
Representatives Howland, OF Ohio:
Knopp, Wisconsin and Gillette, Mas
sachusetts, spoke in favor Of the
agreement.

SERIOUS CHARGE
FLORENCE HEALTH OFFICER IN.
SUITED YOUNG LADY.
He is Under Four Hundred Dollars
Bond and Fired From His City

A warrant was sworn out Thurs
day by Chief Of Police ]. J. Koop-
man, of Florence. upon information
and belief, charging City Health Of
fcer Deberry with assault and bat
terry of high and aggravated ma
ture, which, under the circumstances,
was the most serious charge that
could be made out against him by
the~prosecuting witness and the two
little children, brother and sister OF
the young lady upon whom the al
legged assault mas made.
The warrant was issued by Magis-
trate C. Seymour 'McClenaghan, an
uncle by marriage of Deberry. De-
berry was arrested and placed under
bond of s400 for his appearance at a
preliminary hearing, which is set for
Wednesday, april 26. The story, as
told to The News and Courier cor
respondent, who has read the written
statement from the young lady, Is
about as follows:
A young lady from Lee County, ac-
companied by two children and an
uncle, reached the city one day this
week. They were passing through
and the uncle went up town to at
tend to some business. While he was
gone, the train on which they were
to leave the city pulled out and the
young people had no place to 60.
The young lady asked as to board
ing house Of the police, as !, she
thought, but who proved to be the
health officer, who carried her to a
respectable place.
After seeing her to room at the
boarding house, it is alleged that he
took liberties with the young LADY
and, made improper proposals to her,
Of an unlawful nature, and even go
ing so far as to lay hands on the
young woman. His conduct was Of
fensive and was violently opposed by
the young woman and finally assis-
tance reached her in the person OF
the lady who runs the boarding
house, who thought that the officer
had remained in the room longer
than he should have.
For various reasons the matter was
kept quiet until an investigation
could be had. This was done We'd
nesday by the chief oof police, who
took an automobile and drove over
to Lee County and secured a written
statement from the young lady >in
the presence of witnesses. The chief
was accompanied by Mr.. A. o. ,Kafer
and Mr.. w. M. Minis, CT this city:
They returned to the city Wednes1
day night and the warrant was the
result of the chiefs visit to Lamar.
Wednesday night, acting upon his
information, the board Of health had
called meeting and Health Officer
Deberry was Immediately discharged
from the service Of the city and
board. Deberry is well known and
has always held the esteem Of the
people He is connected with num-
Der of prominent people Of the city
and the affair is to be regretted.

STAND BY TIE CAUCUS
SOUTH CAROLINA CONGREssMEN
UNIFIED BY 1T.
Some Favored Democratic Plan from
the First and the Caucus Brought

the First and the Caucus Brought
Others Around.
The Washington correspondent Of
The News and Courier says although
the majority of the South Carolina
1elega ton have been from the first
in favor of the Clark-Underwood plan
Of passing the Canadian reciprocity
bill intact with request to the
President to approach Canada on the
subject of extending the scope Of
the agreement) and then taking up
as separate proposition schedule
of other tariff reform, which the
Democracy considers essential in be-
half Of the farmer and the general
consumer, it is true Of South Carolina
as Of most of the other States, that
there was a decided minority in the
delegation which opposed this pro-
gramme until enforced by the gener
al caucus.
Those members of the South Car
o1ina delegation who have been most
heartily in favor Of the Democratic
plan Of extra-session campaign are
understood to be Messrs, Finley AK
en-, Johnson and Byrnes. Mr.. Finley
is just recovering from bad attack
of grippe, which has kept him in bed
or confined to his room for a week OF
more. In his unavoidable absence
from the sessions of the House he
has, however, been protected by a
pair, and his views have had their
weight in the party deliberations.
Mr. Finley took cold before leaving
his South Carolina home for Wash
ington and came near being very
seriously i'll.
In the furry in the House Of Rep
resentatives Friday over the trick
played by the Republicans in trying
to tack a primary election clanse to
the bill for publicity of campaign
expenditures in Congressional
contests. the South Carolina
delegation was one of the few
which were not thrown off their
guard. Not a single South Carolina
mem Der made the slip of voting for
the Republican amendment on the
first roll-call. which deceived so many
Democrats that the suggestion actu-
ally carried and gave the Democratic
leaders several hours of strenuous
work. Nearly half Of the mem bers
who strayed from the flock on the
first roll-call were induced to return
on the second, and on the third a
number of those who remained OBJ
durate on the second returned to the
fold

Xii all the Flies.

The following hints from the New
York Merchants Association have
proved helpful almost everywhere:
Kill every fly that strays :uto a
sickroom.
Screen all food whether in tho
house or exposed for sale.
Keep garbage cans covered and
sprinkle freely with lime or kero-
sene.
Keep your drains in repair a1a
pour kerosene in them.
Burn or bury all table scraps.
If there is no dirt and filth tnera
will be no flies. If there is nui-
sance in the reighborhood, write at
once to the beard Of health.

THE OUTLOOK IS BAD.
President Taft Will Be Defeated at
the Polls.

The Washington correspondent Of
The News and Courier says nothing
has struck him more forcibly since ar

entire unanimitv with which the poor
chances Of the Republican party in
the 1912 campaign are acknowledg-
ed. 1t is generally agreed that Mr..
Taft viii! be reAeminatel~by lis party

defeat at the polls. The only thing
which is regarded as giving ray Of
hope to the G. O. P. is the Mexican
