NEGRO SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Hot Snpper in Broad River Sechop
Has Usual Accompaniment-Ne.
gro Woman Wounded. -

On Saturday night there was a ne
gro hot supper on the place of Mr..
J. S. J. Suber, Jr, in the Broad River
section Of the county. A shooting
scrape took place, as customary,
among the negroes, and a negro wo-
man was very seriously shot. 1t seems
that Thos. Wicker, better known as
Dump" Wicker, had dispute with
Joe Sirnms, he says, about a dance,
and he drew his pistol and fired at
Simms, but the shots took effect in
Simms' wife.
1t is not known whether the wound
is very serious or not Sheriff Buford
sent Deputy Sheriff Pope Buford to
the scene on Sunday, as soon as he
received the information of the diff
cu,ty. Wicker was found on Mr.. Jno.
Graham's place and was arrested by
Mr.. Buford, assisted by o. B. Graham,
and was brought to Newberry and is
in jail now on the charge Of assault

have had all kinds of opposition, even
TO President Taft sending four of his
| cabinet members to tour the State
against me; and, in addition, Col
| Roosevelt made speeches in two towns
| against me in the last election"
1t may be recalled that Governor
Harmon swept the TWO counties IN
which Roosevelt spoke and that, al
ter the election, Hugh L. Nichols
| chairman of the State Democratic exc
cutive committee, sent the following
telegram to Col. Roosevelt: Lucas
county and Cuyahoga county, the two
| counties where you DETAINED Gov. Har-
mon, show a net Democratic gain OF
5000. Come again
"Why are you charged with being a
reactionary?" Governor Harmon was
asked. Replying, he said: Il am sure
I do not know; YOU Will have to get
that from the accusers. I tell you
this, though, in my life I have learn
ed that it is a great deal better to pro-
fit by the mistakes of others than by
your own mistakes. Now, instead OF
accepting with open arms every new
theory of government, I prefer to see
it tried first Take, for instance, the
initiative and referendum; let those
Western States that have adopted the
plan try it out, and then if it works,
others may well follow such. I believe
in trying it ON the dog first, with no
reflections meant in the homely illus
trationS.'
JudsOn Harmon, the Man.
Gov. Harmon, as 1nt1mated, isn't a
strong stump speaker; he will never
sweep the country by the power or
eloquence of bis oratory, but he is a
man of prepossessing appearance, be-
ing a. little over six feet tall and
weighing two hundred and fifteen
rounds. He has fine physique and
at once commands attention. His clear
blue eye is sparkling with good health.
A good conscience and a keen appre-
citation of the hunot o1 life impresses
one with the fact that he is work
er, maybe, plodder, but he is work
er none the less.
Mr.. Sandles, who has accompanied
Gov Harmon On this trip, said to the
News and Courier reporter that he
and Gov. Harmon were highly pleas
ed with the reception that had been
given them in North and South Caro-
lima, and expressed his hopes that the
Ohio executive would occupy the
White House at Washington before
the lapse of any great while.
what he has accomplished for the
State of Ohio," said Mr.. Sandles, "he
can and will do for the United States,
and that means the righting of many
wrongs and the doing away with many
evils"

Reformed Tax System.

Possibly one of the greatest accom-
plishments Of his administration was
the correction of the tax system. In
Ohio, now, all property is returned al
full valuation, but the total assess
ment can not exceed l per cent. AS an
instance Of the changes made, one cor
poration returned its holdings at two
millions, now it is assessed on basis
of nineteen millions. Tax assessments
and collections are in the hands of the
State department of taxes and the
chief of this department has collectors
in every district.
Governor Harmon IS Of the opinion
that taxes are reasonably equitable in
his State and that there is no dissat-
isfaction. 1t is recalled that in South
Carolina, for several years, it has
been proposed to. place the system on
just such basis.
Ohio, according to Gov. Harmon, has
solved the good roads question. Its
government includes a State depart
ment of good roads and the State, from
its excise tax. provides a fund for the
construction and maintenance of good
roads In addition. the counties have
their road tax and the smaller high
ways are thereby provided for.

cause / might be the hrst one LOCKED
up. I was not sure, for instance, that
my old dog mad a collar with his Ii
cense on it to do business on the
streets, and was sure he did not
have muzzle, and did not want him
impounded-I believe that is what the
police or dog catcher has to do when
he finds one at large without a collar
and did not want my faithful Fido
locked up, because I did not have the
whereWith to release him, and see
he is condemned to die after five days.
Now, l saw a whole lot of big ugly
looking bull dogs On the street the
other day without collar and without
a. muzzle, but then they were not my
dog Fido and that makes difference,
you know. My old dog is very faith
full, and about the only real friend I
have, and I do not know what I would
do without him. But am really and
truly afraid of these fierce looking
bull dogs I see now and then on the
streets is to say I see them every
day 1 am on the streets.
Just for the amusement Of the thing,
not that any one wants to see the abb
surd law enforced, but just to hear
how it sounds, suppose We read Sec
ton 295, at page 80, of this book OF
laws: "Sec 295. It shall be unlawful
for any dog to run at large in the
streets of the Town of Newberry, un-
less such dog is securely muzzled, and
any dog found running at large with
out such muzzle shall be impounded
five days, and unless the owner shall
claim said dog and pay into the
treasury Of the Town of NewberTy a
fine Of five dollars said dog shall be
killed. Any owner or owners of a
dog or dogs who shall permit them to
run at large in violation Of the pre-
visions of this section shall, upon con-
viction thereof, be fined not more than
five dollars or be imprisoned for not
more than thirty days for each of
fense.'' =
p"
Of course, this law was not made to
be enforced, until some mad dog bites
some little child, and then every old
dog seen in two miles of Newberry
will be impounded, until the official
memory becomes inactive, and then it
will be all over again. I do not want
the new recorder to see this because
he might order the police to get busy
and poor old Fido would be sure to
be the first to get within the clutches
Of the officers, and he woud be inn
pounded whatever that is and I know
it must be something terrible and I
couldn't raise the five and there
would be without dear old Fido.

instructions would be a breach of faith
In connecting the names of Harmon
and Bryan, it may not be impert1nen1
to repeat a remark heard today. Civ
ing his opinion Of Governor Harmon
as a stump-speaker, some one said
well, he can not make a talking
speech, but the Democrats pinned their
faith three times Oh one of the finest
orators in the country and lost. They
! might not do i'll to try a man that isn't
such a great speaker"
In line with orthodox Democratic
principles Gov. Harmon is for tariff
| for revenue only. The present system
is UNEQUAL and unfair, says he, and
| does not suit the country at large.
This is a big country" said he, land
it takes a broad statesman's view to
see what kind of a tariff is needed to
protect the interests of all the people.
Pardoned Few-Never Met Blease.
How many pardons have you grant
ed, Governor Harmon" asked one OF
the newspaper men.
Every, very few was the reply; q
do not like to interfere or set at naught
the work of our courts. / grant re-
prieves willingly On any kind of a
reasonable showing, for I want no
man to go to his death with the slight
est doubt about his guilt, but I grant
very few pardons."
Governor Harmon seemed to be a
little surprised to hear that there had
been granted in this State about two
hundred pardons and communications in
nine months, but said nothing.
Did Governor Blease, of South
Carolina, call on you, Governor Har-
mon, in your home in Columbus and
assure you that South Carolina would
back you for the presidential nomina-
tion?" was asked. The reply was that
Gov. Rlease did not visit Columbus
when he atttnded the Red Mems con-
vention at Cleveland, and that Gov.
Harmon had never had the pleasure
of meeting the SouU Carolina execu-
tive
Has Praise for Press Men.
When asked how he got along with
the newspapers in his State, the Ohio
chief magistrate said that he had
been treated fairly and that his rela-
tions with the newspaper men both
in Ohio and in Washington, had been
the pleasantest. He said that he had
never been betrayed by one Of them,
and that he was profoundly grateful
for the assistance the press had given
him in his work.
"And I see your papers down here
have very young men," said Governor
Harmon, glancing around at the little
group of "beardless youths; "and you
know associate more with young men
than I do with men OF my age. They
teach me something, and I believe, I
mean something to them"
Regarding his work in the Office of
governor, it is a we'll known fact that
Gov. Harmon has rid the State of Ohio
of the old political machine put in
operation during the days of Mark
Hanna.
1T was hard work." he said, "and
with hostile legislature was help
less until 7 got a Democratic body
together; then we Started our reform
work"

I see some one claims to have found
the editors knife, but refuses to give
it up and claim the reward. Now, 1
suspect this fellow has reached the
conclusion that the editor can not pay
the reward and he is just batting to
see if he can manage to get that re-
ward. The editor ought to have his
knife, and if this youngster who has
it will give it up will take up a sub
scription and see if can not make up
the amount of the reward, because l
am sure the reward is more than the
worth of the knife, but as the editor
seems to want it I think he should
have it.

know I am fully persuaded that sell

comes largely from the materlallstlc
