Still Improving The Road

Denver, Sept. 49, l9l2.-Announce-
megt has just been made by Presi-
dent Bush and Vice President Brown
tha4 1t recent meeting of the board
of directors of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company. New
York City, it was decided to standard
guags the present narrow guage line
over Marshall Pass between Salida
and Montrose, Colo. This involves
widehing the guage from three feet
to fdpr feet eight and a half inches
for . distance OF 1886 miles at II cost of
approximately $2, 2,OOO,O
From 1888 to 1880 Transcontinental
trstns of the Denver L. Rio Grande
were operated over Marshall Pass,
but In the year last mentioned the
staDdard guage line by way of Ten
ness4e Pass and Glenwood Springs
TO 0tAnd Junction was constructed,
and 6ince then through trains have
besn{ operated over the latter route
and the Marshall Pass narrow gauge
line has been reserved especially for
toufists and sightseers and such local
freight rs originates in the narrow
gauge territory.
The Marshall Pass route, famed
the World over for it's scenic attrac-
ti0tia crosses the Continental Divide
at M altitude of 1885 feet, and the
new standard gauge line cross at the
Same elevation and preserve the
many scenic attractions of the old
routA.
Marshall Pass, by reason of being
the Arst, is perhaps the best known
cros4ing of the Continental divide.
This comparatively low pass was
discovered in 1871 by Lieutenant w.
L. MARSHALL, at that time attached to
the Biological survey, now brigadier
general of the United States army,
retiled, and resident of Washing
ton,tD. c. The pass was named after
Lieutenant Marshall.
TIE decision Of the directors to
Appropriate so large n sum OF money

THE ESCAPE OF VAUGHN

Anderson Mail.
Mr.. Jas. H. Craig, grand mast r Of the
Independent Order Of Odd Fellows in South
Carolina, vas very much disturbed when
he learned Of the escape OFT. y. Vaughn
from the Jail at Greenville. He declared
that the public has no idea Of the enormity
OF the crime OF this man, and that Vaughn's
action in flight is the surest proof Of his
guilt.
Vaughn some time ago mortgaged his
place for $4,000 in cash and had an auto
mobile, so it is feared that he will make
good his escape. Mr.. Craig declares that
the Clarence Richeson case was nothing
in comparison with this one and that in
stead of Vaughn running the life of just
one orphaned girl, entrusted to his foster
ing care and protection, he actually ruined
five little girls under the lawful age and
that they have made dispositions telling
how they had been forced and how they
had feared to tell of this mans enormous
crimes.
Every citizen OF this or Of any other
state who wishes to see a fiend in human
form get his deserts will aid the Odd Eel
lows OF South Carolina to capture this mai
Vaughn. His flight is convincing proof
of his guilt.

Great interest is manifested
throughout the United States in the
development of the phosphate depos-
its in the Southern States. 1t is as.
serted that many millions Of dollars
worth of fertilizers have already
been extracted from the phosphate
rocks of Florida, the Carolinas and
Tennessee, and that prospecting is
proceeding in a number of other
states with excellent prospects of sue
cess. In the meantime the agricul-
tural department has been advised
that a chemist in New York has per-
fected amethod of doubling the avail
able soluble phOsphoric acid of every
ton of the rock now in sight and
which may hereafter be uncovered.
The department expects as a result
of the experiments made with this
new process that the plant food of
the phosphate rock deposits will be
doubled in value and that the agri-
cultural interests of the country will
be benefited thereby, because of the
consequent reduction in price of all
fertilizers of which "the component
part of chief value" is extracted from
the southern deposits.

FRIENDS OF GOV. BLEASE
Pee Dee Advocate Asserts Some
Interesting Things in Cor
poratiOn Circles.

The Pee Dee Advocate of last week had
an editorial answer to a correspondent
who was upholding Governor BIease and
making some unfounded charges against
Judge Jones. The Advocate in the course
OF it's reply gave some interesting facts
about the corporation support Governor
Blease is receiving. 1t says:
"Since he has presented absolutely moth
ing to sustain his assertion that Jones is
the corporation candidate and represents
money and power" while 'Blease repre-
sents poverty and weakness" we deem 1t
unnecessary to add anything to the indis-
putable evidence which we presented last
week. But to keep from getting out OF
practice we give the following additional
facts, which are matters Of record and com
mon knowledge.
/. Cole l.. Blease was railroad attorney
before his election rs governor.
2. B. L. Abney, chief counsel for the
Southern Railway in South C%arolina,i and
leading corporation lawyer in the State.
Besides with Gov. Blease at the Governors
Mansion, and is Bleaso's chief associate in
Columbia.
8. The late W. G. Childs, president OF
the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Rail-
road, was a supporter of Blease.
t.. Gov. Blease got his private secre-
tary out of Child's railroad Office.
S. Henry A. Williams, superintendent
OF the Columbia Division Of the Southern
railway, supported and worked for Blease.
6. Col. Tom Wilson, president of the
Northwestern railroad of South Carolina,
is an active supporter OF Blease.
T.. W. H. Andrews, head OF the Great
Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation, and
Of the Georgetown and Western RAILROAD,
went to the recent State convention, as
the leader of a contesting Blease delega-
ton.

Raise Your Own Peas fer Seed

I am farming on some Of the poorest land
that Cherokee County, South Carolina, az
fords, and I raise all the cowpeas 1 need to
SOW and plant and some to sell.
When I moved q little over two years
ago I made the remark that I was going
to do all 1 possibly could to improve my
WORKOUT land by sowing cowpeas. To my
surprise, some Of my ncighbors told me
that If I did I would have to buy my seed
every year, for they would not mature on
this old sandy land Of mine.
Nevertheless, In 1910, after I had har-
vested my little crop Of wheat and oats, l
sowed and planted the same land in COW
peas, which made a yield Of IS bushels.
Then again, whenI had done my har-
vesting in the summe Of 1911, while some
Of my n~eighbors were sitting at the country
store, knocking the gnats out of their eyes
and ears, I had my mules and Cold planter
down to their best, planting cowpeas. /
c.uld not get all Of my 1911 crop picked,
but succeeded in getting As bushels gath
cred.
Make the effort. Try it again this year.
Plant and cultivate a few acres for seed
and I think you will be pleased with the
results .-Broadus E. Gold, Gaffney, S. c.,

tGONOChASMs

1t stems that both the Republican,
and Democratic parties are making
records in image breaking. Roose-
welt, the idol of the Republican par
ty, and Bryan, the idol of the DEM
~ocratic party, have both met defeat
in their respective camps within the
short space of one week.
While the rank and file of the
American people are in full accord
with the principles for which both
Roosevelt and Bryan are contending,
they are not willing to concede, that
in them or the men of their selection
alone. can be found leaders who have
the ability and the integrity to push
those principles until they have be-
come law. Both Bryan and Roose-
welt manifestly think themselves
mightier than their respective par
ties. The former is rebelliOus-the
latter has actually bolted. Great is
the danger of a continuation of high
tariff and trust graft, but the danger
of one man power is itself a menace.
Cromwell was the idol of the Eng
lish common people, and his reforms
changed the trend of English history
for the better, but he became no less
d tyrant than Charles I. whom he be-
headed.
The Democratic party has not lost
its admiration for Mr.. Bryan. 1t
realizes that almost every plank in
its present platform has been vital
lied by his untiring labors, but it
realizes as we'll that "discretion is Of
ten the better part of valor." 1t is
all right to outvote Tammany and
the so-called Ryan contingent, but to
openly insult them at a time when
every Democratic vote is needed is
to invite defeat. New York State
has a Democratic governor, and there
is no good reason why it should not
Ego Democratic in the presidential
election. If Roosevelt doesn't run,
the Democrats will find some need
for this vote if they hope to land. 1t
is good policy to Goa or whip then.
into line, but it is very poor policy
TO throw them out of the window.

THE BUILDING AND LOAN.

On July 20 the Building and Loan
Association will open its books of
subscription to the 9Th series OF
stock. The response should be both
immediate and liberal.
There is no institution which has
proved more beneficial to the people
of Southern towns than their build
ing and loan associations, which have
done 80 much to encourage thrift by
holding out inducements for system
attic savings by salaried men and by
providing means for the requirement
of homes by those of limited means
upon terms which make property
owning a matter of comparative
ease.
If it were possible to secure an ac-
curate census of the homes built in
this State through building and loan
associations, it would show every
community in South Carolina large
ly indebted to these beneticent asso-
Citations for much of their progress
and expansion.
But there is still another phase of
the building and loan associations
the investment feature. The writer
knows of more than one young man
who, through his savings in this
way, accumulated sufficient capital
to engage in business for himself,
raising himself from a position
of obscurity to one of prominence
and influence in his community.
So we say, especially to the young
men of Abbeville, do not neglect this
opportunity of making provision for
your old age in a way that will make
the burden seem light. The chance
will not long be open to you. See
that you take advantage oft!

TESTIMONY.

1t was a little beneath the dignity
IF a Legislative investigating com
mittee to move it's court to Charles
ton in order to round up the Grace
testimony of graft by the Governors
c%onsta6les, but since a pretty cleal
case was made out, and the expense
IF bringing witnesses to Columbia
would have been very great, theil
act is justified In the public eye
But to move ITS court outside thu
limits of the State is without excuse,
and, whatever the testimony ad.
vanced, it can not and will not lie
taken at its real value.
If T. b. Fielder has real proofs OF
official misconduct or criminal acts
on the part Of the Governor of South
Carolina, the people of South Caro-
lima should have been put in posses:
sion of those facts many months ago.
If he has such facts, and has withheld
them to this late day, the revelation
should be made on South Carolina
soil. 1t looks too much like the act
of a coward to make grave charges
against an official of South Carolina
and when counter charges are mad
ITO dodge the laws of South Carolina
rather than meet the counter charges
squarely. Why not come to Column
bia, submit to arrest, give bond and
meet all accusers face to face.
There has already been every pos
sible effort used to discredit Folders
testimony, and when he slips off to d
corner of another State to deliver it,
the act itself discredits it.
There are thousands of men i'll
South Carolina who r undecided,
but who, by reason of the grave
charges that have been insinuated
against the Governor, have been dis
posed to turn from him. They have
anxiously awaited the facts, and
now, after the campaign has opened,
the facts, if facts there be, must come
from a lodging witness. The testi-
mony will be more or less discred-
tied as campaign fabrications, from
one who, it will be said, is himself
unwilling to face similar charges.
1t is regrettable that Mr.. Fielder did
not give his testimony sooner, and
that he had not first faced South
Carolina jury, and if innocent, been
wholly acquitted of guilt.
Few people of this State have real
ly believed Mr.. Fielder guilty of any
criminal act in connection with the
dispensary, but MI. Fielder or his
advisers have certainly weakened
the force of his testimony. $
