Historical Facts
Concerning August

The thirty-flrst day OF August ap-
peared first in the calendar during
the reign OF Augustus. In the ancient
Roman calendara August had only %
days. When Julius Caesar revised the
calendar, he gave the month of Sex
tilis,' as 1t was then called. thirty
days. When Augustus became ruler
of the empire. he was consumed with
jealousy because July had been named
after his predecessor, so he changed
Sextilis to August, and gave 1t thirty
one days, so that the month would be
as long as July.
The thirty-first day of August was
stolen from poor old February
Augustus was made a consul in Au-
gust, and in that month had also
thrice triumphed at Rome. had added
Egypt to his empire. and had brought
the civil wars to an end. Naturally
he looked upon the month as a period
of good fortune.

Gov. Blease May Not
Take Seat; Find Frauds

COLUMBIA, s. c., Aug. 31.-Though
Governor Blease has a majority of
about 1000 for election as governor,
there is a strong probability that he
will never take office. Charges of
wholesale fraud have come to State
Chairman Evans. of Spartansburg. 1t
is alleged that the vote exceeds by
80, 900 any ever cast in the State, and
that the total number of ballots, more
than 100000, is greater than the number
Of white males of voting age in the
State.
In Anderson county, 1000 more votes
were polled in the gubernatorial race
than in the other contests, and the
county committee has ordered a re-
count. 1t is believed that the State
committee will throw out enough votes
to insure the election of Judge Ira b.
Jones, as there are charges which will
necessitate a recount In practically
every county of South Carolina.

along the cliffs.
So steep were the rocks that no one

his goats. He would wander far aff to

SUPT. PITCOCK
 DENIES THE REPORT
Says Washington County Authorities Were Notified of Red FOx's
 Escape.

Little Rock, Dec. 4.-snpt. James A. Ptcock, of the Arkansas pen.tent- iary, denies the report from North west Arkansas that Red Fox, the Washington county murderer, had es- caped six weeks before the official of that county was notified. Supt. Pithccck says the files of the office will show the off cials of Washington county were notified on the day of the escape.
 Red Fox was sentenced to the pen itentlary for his connection with the murder of Mrs. Winkleman, an aged woman, who was robbed of several thousand dollars at Fayetteville three years ago.
 Since escaping, Red Fox has been several t mes traced to towns of Ok lahoma and Texas, but the off cers have failed to catch him. Red Fox is very fond of his wife, who is in Okla hcma, and the officials hae endeavor- ed to catch him through cracking her. A tra T. conductor one day telegraph ed the pr son authorities that the Wo- man was on his train and would leave it at certain station, but she left at point before the destination given on her ticket, and there were no officials there to trace her.
