Officers Chosen.

At recent annual meeting of the
Union Fire Department the following
officers were chosen: L. C. Wharton,
chief; j. E. Hicks, assistant chief; C.
E. Going, foreman; o. E. Going, as
sistant foreman; Paul E. Wilburn,
secretary and treasurer. There are
now fifteen members of the company
and its affairs are in good shape. The
boys are planning for big banquet
which is to come off at an early date.
1t is probable that the city authori-
ties will purchase a fire auto truck.
That would add greatly to the efficien-
cy of the work of the company.

With Bullet in His Body,
Progressive Nominee De-
livered Speech, But Was
Forced to Stop From Loss
of BlOod-His Condition
Not Serious.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The bullet
wound inflicted in Col. Roosevelt's
chest at Milwaukee Monday
night, it was officially announced
today for the first time, is heal
ing normally without infection.
The statement that no complica-
tions have shown themselves was
made after a day during which
the first successful x-ray picture
of the wound was examined by
the surgeons. The fact developed
that the would-be assassin's bull
let fractured the colonel's fourth
rib. The missile remains imbed-
ded, apparently in the bone. The
fracture, however, it is stated,
will not affect the treatment in
any way, but will be allowed to
heal untreated, as will the wound.
A description of the wound,
given tonight by DR.. w. B. Nc ,
Cauley, is the first to be given to
the public by the surgeons. He
said that the bullets path through
the muscles of the chest is lacer-
ated to some extent by the bat
tered lead, but that there was
little confusion and no extensive
area of bruised and extravasated
surrounding the tissue.

Sheriff Longs Statement.

On account of the fact that Prog
ress will not come out again until
next week, and for the reason that
an article in that paper, in justice to
myself, should be answered at once, q
request publication of the following
in this weeks issue of The Times: II
To the Editor of The Times: T..
| notice an article in the issue Of
Progress of October 18th, in which
several misstatements are made, and
an effort to make the public believe
that have wilfully violated all laws
and customs in the appointment of
deputies for the Union County Fair
Association.
Now wish the fair success, as r
am stockholder to the amount Of
$4,000 in the Association, but when
it comes to the appointment of depu-
ties for the fair, who have the ap-
pointing power. do AAts Isa:ssns J. aps,
sons to believe VIII not do, Ind WHOM
I do not want, thereforeI refused
to appoint some of those named, and
have no apologies to make for so
doing.
Out of nineteen names which sub
lifted to the directors through Mr..
Alston and Mr.. Hames, they refused
all except one. All of the others, fif-
teen in number, have been selected
by the directors.
Mr. Howell, the man chosen as
chief, was selected as second choice
or chief by the same board.
The Act of the Legislature in ref
erence to these appointments pro-
vides:
: "Upon the written request or state
ment of the President, Treasurer or
other executive officer having the
management of any fair association,
setting forth that in his opinion the
interest of the association under their
management, and the public peace re-
directed to the Sheriff of said county,
it shall be the duty of the Sheriff to
appoint such discreet and suitable
person or persons as his deputy or
deputies whose term of Office shall
continue during the public exhibition
of such association, unless sooner re-
moved by him.
provided, further, that nothing
contained herein shall interfere with
the right and duty of the Sheriff upon
his own motion to appoint such depu-
ty or deputies as may seem advisa.
The Act also provides that they
shall be paid by the association for
whom they were appointed to protect.
The above act shows that the fair
association did not comply with the
law, and after refused to appoint
some Of the parties named, M-. Aston
came to me, and had him to maze
the request in proper form before
would appoint any of the deputies at
all.
AS to liquors being sold on the
grounds last year, I presume that the
officials intended for it to be done,
as they rented privileges to several Of
Union county's most noted blind IT,
gers, according to general reports
and also, that the ole police force
for last year at the fair were appoint
ed solely upon the suggestion and sc.
lection Of the officials in charge, and
were under their direction during the
fair, so the liquor selling cannot be
laid to my door. S
refer you and those who wish tc
see the law to Section 1106, Vol. I
Code of Laws, s. c., 1912.
Very respectfully,
j. G. Long, Sheriff.

"A wedding of great interest to
large number of people in Union took
place on Wednesday morning, at II
o'clock at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Newell Smith, when their
sister, Miss Kate Smith became the
bride of Mr.. J. F. Coward, of Dar.

The parlor was artistically decor

companied by Miss Aurissie Wilburn
on the violin, the party entered. The
bridemaids came first, and were Miss
Pearl Goforth, Miss Belle Crawford,

Milwaukee, Wis.,, October 14.-Col.
Roosevelt was shot in the breast by
an assassin as he entered the auto
mobile in front of the Hotel Gilpat-
rick to start for an auditorium,
where he was speaking tonight. He
insisted on going to the hall, there
quieted the crowd that heard he had
been shot, spoke from 8:20 to 9:45
o'clock, though apparently weak, and
then was taken to an emergency hos
pital.
!, The 7X-ray of Colonel Roosevolt's
wound showed that the bullet lodged
In the chest wall and did not pene-
trate the lung. The wound is not con-
sidered serious.
The bullet struck manuscript of
the speech which he delivered tonight,
and this probably saved his life.
After an hours questioning the as
sassin gave his name as John Schrank
of $40 east Tenth street, New York.
From notes found in the prisoners
pockets it is evident that he is de-
mented on the subject of the colonel's
seeking third term.
Col. Roosevelt left the hospital at
11:25 p. m. He was able to walk
unassisted.
81 am feeling fine," he said.
1t was decided to take Col. Roose-
welt to Chicago, where four surgeons
would attempt to extract the bullet
The colonel was taken to the station,
where, at the last moment, change
was made and the engineer was or
dered to hold the train. Later, how.
ever, the original plan was revived
and the train bearing Col. Roosevelt
left for Chicago at midnight.
Col. Roosevelt at the railway STA
tion insisted that he was feeling
fine," and that no one should worry
about him.
81 wanted to get down to the train
25 minutes before we left" he said,
$50 that l could shave"
The colonel wished to shave but at
the insistence of his physicians he
gave it up.
AS the train left the colonel said
he would. spend the night on the car
and after remaining a few hours in
Chicago would go to indianapolis to
fill a speaking engagement for to-
morrow night.
The positive statement that Col.
Roosevelt was not injured seriously
was made by DR.. Frederick A. STRAIT
ton of Milwaukee, one of the physi-
clans who examined the colonel. DR..
Stratton said that there was no
cause for alarm as to the colonel's
condition.
"The wound was a superficial one,"
said DR.. Stratton. "The bullet is i'm
bedded in the muscular tissues. All
that we did at the hospital was to put
on an antiseptic dressing.
"You may say Col. Roosevelt is
not in dangerous condition. If the
bullet had reached his lungs it would
have been evident and he would have
had coughing spells"
Saved by His Speech.
Col. Roosevelt's life probably was
saved by manuscript of the speech
which he delivered tonight. The bull
let struck the manuscript which re-
tarded its force as it passed through
into the flesh. His assailant was pre-

Some of the Features

overtime on both conventions now and
is putting out some pretty good stuff
about each. 1t furnishes the cast of

Then it tackles the hotel rate ques-
ton. How closely Baltimore will fol-
low the Suns assurances remains to
be seen. but here is what it says:
Don't stay away from the Demo-
cratic convention for fear you will not
find a place TO sleep and plenty to
eat Ten thousand private homes and
boarding houses have been thrown
open, and places for $4,000 visitors
are listed after all the hotels are full.
Rates are low enough. II content to
sleep in a room with others. you can
get a bed for 81, $3.50 or 81 per day.
If you demand a room to yourself. you

Sun or to Chairman Robert Grain,
Equitable Building, Baltimore, stating
how many viii be In your party. what
rate you wish to pay and how long
YOU will stay. Then rooms can be re-
served.
Baltimore is going to take care of
this convention crowd, and at as rea-
sonable rates as any other city ever
did. 1t is ready for the rush.
That there may be temptations in
Baltimore is Indicated by another
Sun paragraph as follows:
The Fifth Regiment Armory is too
tempting. In providing the finest con-
vention hall in America Baltimore
leaves the delegates and visitors at the
mercy of the spellbinders. When an
orator casts his eve over that vast au-

TUESDAY, JUNE IS. 1912.
What Will the
Judges Recommend?

Not often does The Journal make
any predictions as to what will take
place, but when it does it is usually
right. Governor Gilchrist had hobby
year ago and was defeated in his
ambition to put it into practice. He
was determined to have the. court pro-
cedure of the state freed from techni-
calities. Almost everybody in Florida
wanted him to be successful, believing
that the abolition of technicalities
would in a large degree help to elimi-
nate crime and at the same time keep
the state and the people from spend
ing large sums of money for litigation.
Governor Gilchrist has called the cir
cult judges together to have a confer
ence. That is about as far as he has
let the public into his confidence, but
we predict if the judges are unanimous
in their desire to abolish technicalities
in court procedure that he will call an
extra session of the legislature.
The Journal believes the technical
points in most cases could well be
done away with. The best lawyers in
bnC States bcllSN6 the same way. with
revision of the laws and the aboli-
ton OF technicalities we will have too
many courts-we believe we have too
many courts now.
A few years ago when there were
fewer circuit court circuits and the
dockets were crowded there was reason
for the establishment of criminal
courts and record courts in the coun-
ties where large cities were, but since
more circuits have been created it APP
pears to us that the circuit courts
ought to attend to most of the bust
ness now.
The Journal has an abiding faith In
the judgment and the integrity of the
circuit judges of Florida, and while
we believe they will give to Governor
Gilchrist some good advice. the general
public naturally wonders what it will
be.
