HONOR LIVES

This to Be Made Clear by Taft
Delegates
THEY ARE MUCH GRIEVED
BY Unfounded ACCUSE tions--New Arriv-
ais in Chicago Camp of Roosevelt
He May, He May Not, He May,
Go to the Convention.

Chicago, June 12.--As soon as the
southern delegates have arrived in Chi
cago they will assemble at the call or
some of their own number and then
proceed to put out a statement, which
as they express it, will serve notice ON
the country that honor still exists south
of Mason and Dixon's line" Delegates
from few southern states met last
week in meeting over which Senator
Newell Sanders of Tennessee presided,
and declared their allegiance to Taft,
but the southerners had not then been
held up to the country as the purchas-
able quantity they have since been adj
vertised to be- The insinuations of the
campaign are burning into the southern
heart, and the delegates say the sit
uation is more serious for them as in
dividuals and for the communities they
represent than good many people real
iZe.
Southerners Feel HUT.
Now here is Mr.. --- from my state"
said one of the prominent bankers o.
the South yesterday. Ever since
have been in Chicago he has been pointed
out to me as man the Roosevelt peo-
pie could get; now to my personal
knowledge. he is worth 100000 and ne
could no more be turned from Taft than
I could. These things they are say
ing hurt; but when we get together in
meeting here and finally adopt resolu-
tons showing where we stand, the coun-
try may get a different idea of us and
the campaign managers may know bet
ter than they appear to just where their
candidates stand"

George W. Perkins of the harvester

sent to Roosevelt men all over the coun-

Roosevelt's Plans Unknown,

Senator Dixon tried to be positive in
his statements yesterday that Roose.
welt would not come to Chicago.
HE is not coming" he said with EN-.
phasis, asserting again that Taft can
not be nominated and that Roosevelt is
certain to be the nominee What is
the use Of his coming?" he asked as a
clincher, and refusing TO even consider
any possibility of his not being nom
mated.
Not coming at all, senator!" asked
one correspondent.
Il don't think so" he finally said
As matter of fact no one seems to
know what Roosevelt intends to do.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-06-12

The new rough rider mounted regi
ment is drilling and preparing to receive
him this week. Ralph S. Otis, chairman
of the Chicago Roosevelt league, expects
him and said yesterday that he could
organize to have one hundred thousand
people meet him.
Would you follow him on bolt?" he
was asked.
Personally / would favor it if they
steamroler him, but don't know wheth-
er it would be good policy. He could
not be elected under those conditions"
Alfred 7, Rogers, the Wisconsin ma
tional committeeman and the only out
and -out La Toilette man in the body
which is passing on the contests, char
acterizes Roosevelt's statement on Sun
day as "hot air" and bunk" Roose-
welt was talking of the theft" of the
ninth Alabama delegates and he said
that "again and again We have sent
to the penitentiary election officials foc
deeds morally not one whit worse than
what was done" in this instance.
Il cannot keep up with Roosevelt in
such hot air" said Rogers. Il have 40
interest other than to pass on the merits
of the contests. The Taft delegates
had the best of the argument. Even
Colonel Cecil Lyons, one of the Roose-
welt leaders, voted as | did to seat the
Taft men,"

The general assembly has turn

will do it's principal work. The
main things Of general impor-
tance to be considered is the ap-
preparation and supply bills,
these will take up a large part Of
the time, because there is ii;
versity Of opinion as tc the needs
of the State, and too, the general
assembly has been warned that
if the appropriations are extrav-
agant the Governor will take a
hand in the game to cut them
down. it will be remembered
that the governor vetoed the Act
providing for the distribution of
the monies or hand from the dis
pensary which was some $500,
600; according to the constitution
this money is to go to the com
mon schools Of the State, but the
distribution Act Of last year per-
lnitted a part Of it to be distri-
buted to the high schools, and to
be apport!oned according to en-.

be asked to bring, thereby put.
ting the measure upon certain
ground.
The race track matter which
has created so much discussion Is
now before the Senate, the bill
passed the House by an over
whelming vote, many did not
vote, because they saw it was a
foregore conclusion. The fight in
the Senate will be closer, espec-
tally so on the injunction feature.
there are many senators who ob
lect to government by injunction
in criminal cases, believing it is
contrary to the principles of a
Democratic government, and TOO,
every Democratic platform since
1876, National and State has de-
nourced such procedure. On this
feature | am unalterably oppos-
ed. for the reason that | believe
every lAan has the right when
charged with the violation Of a
law, whether it be q misdemean
or or higher crime, to have the
facts determined by a jury. I iu
troduced an amendment to the
Carlisle bill to this end, if the
senate adopts my amendment or
one of similar effect I will inter-
pose no further objection to the
passage OF the anti racing bill.
There is 4 great misunderstood
ing about this measure all over
the country, the general lmpres
sion is that the promoters of the
racing scheme invested their
money in the racing plant with
out authority, as some one has
expressed it, they took "a gam
blers chance" this is not true:
some three years ago the pro-
moters came to the general as
sembly and asked for charter,
this was granted to them. later
they organized a company and
obtained q charter from the Sec
retary Of State to do business,
upon the faith of these charters
induce people to investin plant,
which by the way is one of the
finest in the United States, cost
ing about 5000, 900, they also in
duced about 1900 thorough bred
horses from all over the Union to
be brought to Charleston at an
enormous expense, the associa-
ton has rules and regulations
which look to making their rae
ing clean, and for the protection
Of the public, now before the as
sociation is given an opportunity
to demonstrate how they will
conduct their scheme, it is sought
to practically confscate a prop
erty and rights obtained from
the general assembly. There are
some who do not think this fair.
and they regard the enactment
OF law which will stop the racing
meets as bad faith on the part of
the assembly: the time for the
general assembly to have object
cd was when the association ap-
piled for the charter, but mas
much as the general assembly
did not object then, out on the
contrary granted the charter, it
should as a matter Of honesty
aud fairness, wait to see whether
or not the business will be con-

| am q member, after discussing
the various features Of the Act
for several hours, decided by a
majority vote to recommend to
the senate to sustain the Cover
nor. and to prepare new Act to
overcome the objections he point
ed out, therefore the Act passed
last year is a dead letter, and a
new Act will take its place by
which the common schools will
get their just due.
l have received from the coun-
ty commissioners the estimate
for the expenses for 1912 which
shows g need for 81, 49,. S6 more
than last year on account Of the
increase Of salaries for the Treas
urer, Auditor, Sheriff and Super
intendent OF Education, however,
this will not increase the levy, as
there will be enough raised by
the additional property put upon
the tax books that has heretofore
escaped taxation, to meet this in
crease. The total estimate for
1912 is S27, 921.2O.

to Columbia, called upon the
members of the House delegation:

Quoted in an obnoxious manner.
The racing game was outlawed
from several States because of
obnoxious features, but this as
sociation pro6ting by the past
has adopted rules and employed
a detective force 70 have Their
rules carried out, the rules do
away with the complaints that
were made in the other States
one of these rules prohibit pool
selling. Pool selling is a scheme
where the saloons and soda founts
and cigar stores in the cities per-
mitted the selling of pools on the
races so that betting would go on
at all times, and even boys could
go to these resorts to bet without
going about the race course, it
was this feature which aroused
the ire of the people in the States

course. but this association has
j fortified itself against these insti-
tutions and it has employed Pm
kerton detectives to enforce its
rules.
I have talked to {; number Of
our best citizens with regard to
the esta blishment in this county
of a system Of rural police, and
in nearly every case it is regard
ed as unnecessary at this tine.
The House delegation introduced
a rural police bill and there be-
ing no objection On the part Of
any of the House delegation, it
passed and is now in the Senate.
The TINES readers know my at
titude towards this measure, but
shall briefly give my objections
here. I am opposed to the extra.
ordinary power to be given by
this measure, l consider it dan
gerops in the extreme: am afraid
Of it because it gives a power not
possessed to the high sheriff who
is a constitutional officer: [ am
opposed to it from financial rea-
sons, the county is unable at this
time to undertake the expense; |
am opposed to it because it will
be hard to get men for these po-
sitions who have the proper dis
cretion 10 be entrusted with the

out Of the taxpayers, but out Of
his own pocket. The contract
was for $500, but if there Is a
provision made to reimburse Mr..
Burgess the S35O.0Ohe will pay
for correcting his work, then
the taxpayers will have to pay
Se5O.00 instead of $4,000 that
he agreed to do the work for. I
shall never consent to allow this
additional S35O.O0 to be paid by
the taxpayers. 1 am sorry Mr..
Burgess brought about a condi-
ton which required him to pay

my sorrow does not reach the
point where 1 feel justified in
making the taxpayers pay for
it, and should the House delega.

for this additional sum to be
paid for this work, I shall inter.
pose my objections in no uncer-
! tain way. 1t is argued, and the
argument is supported by some
of the lawyers Of the Manning
bar, that Mr.. Burgess took the
contract for too small an amount
the work was worth more, that
Sumter paid three times as
much for the reindexing of its
records; while all of this may
be true. it does not convince me
Of the justice of making the tax
payers of Clarendon county pay
additional money to a man whose
contract, voluntarily made, was

One Of the most important
bills at this session is the State

birth in Marlboro, and which
was nursed into activity by Hon.

seeks to give to the farmers of
