Some Good News.

Profanity is said to be on the de-
crease, which, if true, is cheering
news. Singularly enough the blame
for so much profanity in times past is
placed upon the horse. That such a
noble animal should be guilty of be-
ing so responsible for such an evil
ONES as shock yet when we remem-
Der how hostlers, jockeys and others
interested in horseflesh have made
the air lurid with their language
there seems to be some truth in 1t.
And it must be confessed that there
is great provocatton when horse
balks, or takes the bit between his
teeth, or discovers the white Of its
eyes preparatory to kicking. But
ow the auto is working most CRATE
full change as it displaces tae horse.
OF course an auto can do lots of
mean things, but what is the use of
swearing at cold iron when it breaks
down? Unlike the horse the auto is
inanimate and all oaths and whip
ping are wasted upon it. But what
ever the cause Of lessened profanity
there Is cause for gratitude.

enough to vote; by persons voting
State tickets in both State and coun-
ty boxes; by persns voting twice for
governor, and by Republicans voting,
by buying or influencing votes by
money liquor or other unlawful in
ducements.
|, These are the principle ways that
the primary has been abused. But
don't exclude others. For the purpose
OF convenient administration and d.
vision of labor. I appoint the follow
ng subcommittees: W. B. Wilson, Jr.,
chairman, Rock Hill; J. B. BiVens, R.
NJ. Jeffries, to get the counties lying
east of the Southern railway from
Charlotte via Columbia to Charleston
including the counties through which
it passes, to wit: York, Chester and
Fairfield, Richland, Calhoun, Or
angeburg, Dorchester and Charleston
and all counties east Of there. al
go appoint a committee, consisting OF
J. B. Parks, Chairman, Greenwood;
T. b Butler and J. NJ. Grie-, to do a
like work in the balance of the State.
All information should be sent the
respective chairmen, Messrs. Wilson
in the east and Parks in the west,
who will apportion the work among
the other members and will take
measures to have all matters Of mo-
ment verified and will have the club
rolls and the poll lists checked
against each other. Each member or
the committee is authorized to re-
ceive subscriptions to carry on the
work and to incur expenses not ex-
ceeding the funds so collected with
out the approval Of the respective
chairman.
"The work will require a strong
force fclerks to check and arrange
matters, heavy expense to copy club
rolls and investigate charges of
crookedness. The work to be done is
arduous and disagreeable. 1t is
your work, undertaken at your COM
mand and under circumstances which
demand it for the integrity Of the
primary system. Hence you should
give US your support in the matter
above named and with the cash nee
essary to do the work at once. The
meeting announced for Wednesday
September II, is premature. We can
not be ready and will only be losing
time from the important work ID
hand and therefore the committee
will not meet formally till called by
chairman. Now word as to the
counties where no charges of wrong
have been made. The whole election
has been challenged and where the
records show a clean straight elec-
tion has been held We desire to say
so, hence in order to make up the roll
of honor the record in each county
must be furnished. Give US your
help and the means and in two weeks
we will endeavor to give you a re-
port that will throw light on the
subject whether it edifies the body
polite or not.
yours very truly,
W. F. Stevenson,
chairman"

LYNCH A BLACK FIEND.
Crowd Batters Down Doors and
Shoots Prisoner.

At Cumming, Ga, mob spirit.
which has been at fever heat there
since the threatened race trouble
Saturday, boiled over Tuesday when
esveral hunderd white men stormed
the local Jail and riddled Ed Collins,
negro with bullets. The body OF
the negro was mutilated with 2 crow
bar and then dragged to the public
square. In the presence of crowd
of over 1000 citizens the dead negro
was strung up to telephone pole.
Collins was arrested Tuesday along
with three other negroes in connec.
ton with the assault on a young
white girl Sunday. 1t is alleged
that he assisted Ernest Cox, alias
Daniels, the negro who confessed to
the crime, in hiding the body. Cox
was taken to Atlanta for safe keep
ing.
Sheriff Reid had difficulty in get
ting the prisoners into the jail on ac-
count of the mob which assembled
when the arrests were made public.
Shortly after the negroes were incar-
cerated the mob attacked the Jail
with crowbars and effected an en-
trance. None Of the other prisoners
were molested.

HAVE TO SEND WILSON FUNDS
Banks Losing Local Credit by For.
warding Them Direct.

The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier says Capt William
F.. Gonzales, chairman of the finance
comittee for South Carolina for the
Democratic national committee, said
today that there was an overlapping
of committees at the national head
quarters and conflict in request and
that as consequence some banks in
South Carolina had forwarded their
collections direct to Treasurer Rolla
Such a course, Mr.. Gonzales said,
made no sifference to the State COM
mittee, as all funhs from the treasury
were put to its crerit, by sending
direct to both the counties and the
banks were deprived OF local credit
for their efforts in behalf of Demo-
cracy, an he asks that all contribu-
tions be sent through the chairman
Of the finanre committee or the news
papers of South Carolina.

RLEASE'S ATTITUDE
THE COLUMBIA RECORD GIVES
IT'S REASONS FOR
Saying the Brother Of the Governor
Opposed the Investigation Of the
Primary,

OppooCN S1kO AAsSSsASS@eioh VI
Primary.
The following editorial from me
Columbia Record IS published IN con-
nection with the card OF Mr.. Eugene
S. Blease in justice to that paper
ELSEWHERE on this page we pup
lish q communication from Mr.. Eu-
gene Blease, relative to his attitude
in connection with the recent ses-
sions of the State Democratic execu-
five committee. The position Of Mr..
Blease may have been misrepresent-
d in the Record, but there was no in
territorial Misrepresentation. And
with all the facts before US We can
not see where Mr.. Blease has been
placed in an unfavorable light by The
Record. In the editorial which Mr..
Blease refers to, were these words:
Instead Of opposing the investi-
cation, Mr.. Blease should have de-
manded it. It was based on the re-
porter's accounts that came into this
Office and accounts of the meetings
published in other papers. Mr.
Blease may not have opposed the in
vestigation, but his line Of attack
against it certainly yielded that i'm
preston.
"He advocated the tabulation OF
the ersults so that it could be seen
whether Blease or Jones had been
nominated. We,of course, could not
be expected to know just why he
wanted the results tabulated before
the investigation had shown that
when tabulated they would be cor
rect. That was the object of the iu-
Yestigation; to remove all suspicion
of fraud, or definitely establish that
there had been fraud.
| "a tabulation Of the results would
!have been useless and the result OF
tabulation worthless. Mr.. Blease in
one Of his speeches before the com
mittee gave this impression: MY
brother doesn't want this Office II ne
is not rightfully entitled to it, but he
has been nominated, and he will serve
as governor.
"That is not literal quotation, but
his words gave that impresson. Il
he felt that way about it, if he be-
llieyed that his brother had been fair
ly nominated and that his brother
would be the next governor, be
doubtless thought that there was nc
necessity for an Investigation.
Mr.. Blease doubtless believed MS
brother had been fairly and honest
lily nominated and that belief may
Ihave caused his apparent antago
nism to the Investigation. If he die
not intend to oppose 1t, he pursued
course that led the hearers OF his
Ispeeches to misconstrue his inten
tions, for certainly there are many
who gained the impression that he
opposed the Investigation.

old HERO TURNEN OUT
VETERAN MASSEY EXPELLED
FROM SOLDIERS HOME
One More Chapter to a Controversy
which Has Been Raging in Colum-
bia for Weeks.

bia for Weeks.
That veteran Samuel Massey has
hen dismissed from the Confederate
Home was admitted Friday morning
says the Columbia correspondent OF
the Neks and Courier by Major H.
W. Richardson, the chairman and
treasurer of the board Of commission
ers. Charges Of maltreating one Of his
comrades, Thomas Whittle, hitting
him over the head with chair, re-
suited in the trial OF Veteran Massey
by the outcome is the final dismissal
Of Mr.. Massey.
Mr.. Massey and the Confederate
Hpme have been in public prints
for some weeks, every few days some
thingturned up which involved vari-
Gus charges to be threshed out in the
press. The mater first started with
the accusation that Major Richardson
was attempting to influence the old
soldiers to vote for Blease, followed
closely by the board suspending Mas
sey for thirty days on the charge of
being disorderly and drunk on the
premises. A temporary restraining
order preventing this from being car
ried into effect was granted by Judge
Gary on application of Attorney John
]. McMaham for Massey. Thereafter
Massey again took up his abode at the
! Home.
Then cme the charge that Massey
bit one of the comrades, Thomas Whit
tie over the head with chair and the
case was considered by the board on
September and Z, the board consist
i q of Major H. W. Richardson, chair
man and treasurer; DR. F. P. W. But
ler Secretary; Capt D. A. Dickert, OF
Newberry and ]. T. Crews, Of Lau-
rens. At that time Mai. Richarson
declined to give out anything for pub
lication. However, he admitted this
morning that Massey had been per-
manently dismissed from the Home.
It will be recalled that NJ Nc
straining order from Judgt Gage
preventing the Comptroller General
honoring the warrants of 500 and
$50 drawn on the funds of the Con-
federate Home in favor of Major
Richardson and DR.. Butler as white
help" the allegation being that the
law only allowed the members ac-
tua expenses while attending sessions
of the board, and that they were draw
ing these saliries in violation of the
law. The rule to show cause is re-
+urnable on the goth and will be arg
ued before Judge Gage at that time
Veteran Massey is from Lancaster
County and was an ardent supporter
of Judge Jones. Major Richardson
and the members Of the board of com.
missioners of the Home are strong
supporters of Gov. Blease.

DUG MANY YEARS AGO
Tunnel is Found Beneath

A mysterious tunnel just discov-

Bolton Mass. is thought to have
been made by prisoners attempt
ing to escape from Jail cells of three
quarters of century ago in the old
court house recently demolished to
make way for a city hall annex.
Workmen removing the last stones
of the foundation of the court house
found the entrance to the tunnel som
six feet below the street level. The
hole was three feet sQpare and led
from that part of the court house
which in former years had ben used
for cells. There was nothing to show
that the tunnel had ever been walled
ur which strengthened the belief that
it had been made secretely by prison.
