Columbia, S. c., Sept. 5.-Pointing out
that the Democratic party in South Caro-
lima is sorely distressed, John Gary Evans,
the chairman Of the state executive COM
mittee, today issued call to the Demo-
Gratis OF the state asking that they con-
tribute to the fund to investigate the
charges Of fraud in connection with the
recent primary.
The following is the call to the Demo-
Gratis Of South Carolina:
:"The Democratic party in this state is
sorely distressed. For the first time in
our history white men are charged with
cheating and defrauding white men in our
primary election The elections in every
county in the state are contested and your
executive committee is in possession OF
sufficient evidence and charges to warrant
it in making thorough and complete i'll
vestigation Of these charges insofar as In
Its power lies. The committee has no ma
chinery for getting at the proof and must
rely upon the good and true men OF the
state who believe in honest elections to as
sist it in its efforts. II you know OF fraud
and irregularities tell it; il you hear OF
such tell it and tfe committee will sift it.
We are determined that right shall prevail
and we care not for the personal interest
Of any candidate or candidates but for the
honor and life Of the party and the saliva

"Your executive committee is without

from assessments of candidates in the pri-
mary election. These were made without

may be necessary to secure the evidence.

every patriotic citizen help in this cause

party at Columbia, what he or she can give
for the preservation Of the purity Of the

"DADDY'Sn "REMINISCENCES
James II. Lewis, Youngest Old Actor
On the Stage With "The Goose
Girl"

To reverently recall men and wom-
en- of fifty years ago whose names, IN
the days OF old, were household words
to the theatregoers of that period, are
dissertations of daily occurrence to
young Jim Lewis, one OF the OLD
guard, who is playing a Juvenile part
in "The Goose Girl" dramatizatlon
of Harold MacGraths novel, which
will be the attraction at the Grand
Opera House on Friday, September 2O.
They call Mr. Lewis young, even
tho he Is past the Osler age, he being
now in his 18th year, but far from the
Oslerized period. Mr.. Lewis recalls
many anecdotes of the great stage IA
vorites Of the past. Mr.. Edwin Booth
was a man of wonderful attainments
to Mr.. Lewis, although his absent
mindedness caused him to do unheard
of things. John T. Raymond was an
other of Mr.. Lewis favorites, tho
unlike Mr.. Booth, was not forgetful,
but of a humorous mind.
His associations in the past with ar
lists of the calibre Of Barrett, Janaus-
chek, Couldock, Adelaide Nelson,
Barry Sullivan, Mrs. Drew, Lolita and
many more, endears him to the young
er aspirants for stage honor.
Unlike the methods Of today, an ac-
tor of the past met and played with
all these artists in the period OF one
season. Only the star" travelled then,
with no train of support or supernum-
eraries; these he secured in each
town, he being supported by the local
organization.
1t can readily be seen an actor in
those days was forced to high de-
gree of versatility to stand the strain
of new "star" and new play week

ROLLS INTO GREENWOOD.
Makes Trip Under Its Own
Power - Through Service
Soon to be Begun. 81

Greenwood, Sept. 6.-The first passenger
car on she interurban rolled in this after
noon on its own propeliing machinery. On
the car were Vice President w. s. Lee,
General Manager E. Thomson, Oh. Cope
land, land and Industrial agent; G. 8. Al
len, freight and passenger agent; Mr.. Bur-
ris of the traffic department and other of1-'
cials. The car came unheralded and unan-
nounced but was soon surrounded by a
crowd Of admiring citizens. Mr.. Thoma-
son says through passenger service viii
be in operation between here and Ander-'
son within three weeks. There Is only a
short break now to be closed up between
here and Honea Path. Freight trains are
being carried through every day, part OF
the way being by steam locomotives. In
three weeks all steam power will be- dis!
carded. Mr.. Lee was delighted with the
condition Of the roadbed and the progress
on the line. For the present the interurT
ban will have joint agency. here with the
Seaboard, R. B. Norris, Sesboard's agent,
being in charge. The new passenger cars
are splendidly fitted up and have every
known contrivance for convenience and
comfort. 2

TENTH ANNIVERSARY

Rev. T. W. Sloan, D. D., pastor Of
the First Presbyterian Church in
Greenville, delivered his tenth ami
versary sermon on the second Sun
day of September, 1912. When he took
charge OF the Church ten years ago,
the membership consisted OF about
300. At present, we are informed, that
the number OF communicates is about
900, being one of the largest and
wealthiest Presbyterian Churches in
the State. Mr.. Sloan went to Green
Vile on salary of $1,500 which has
now been raised to $4,000. On the
building itself some $4,000 has been
spent in Improvements. A grand pipe
organ has been installed whose sweet
notes and beautiful chimes delight
members Of the congregation and at
tract many strangers to the services.
The organist is our former fellow
citizen, Prof. Jules G. Huguelet, who
is very proud to have in his charge
one of the finest organs in the United
States, while he is probably the best
paid organist in the State.
By his ability and his Christian zeal,
as we'll as by the application OF those
practical methods which drew to him
the combined efforts of the member
ship of his congregation, DR.. Sloan
and his people have accomplished a
success which is little short Of mir
acle. One of the strongest points in
his preaching is his personal piety
and evident reverence while in the
pulpit. During his Anniversary SER
mon, we are told, that he did not cal
the name of the Creator. but referred
to Him reverentially by pronoun.

Greenville, Sept. 5.-Former Governor
NJ. F. Ansel has accepted the invitation OF
the National Democratic committee to
make speeches for'Wilson and Marshall In
the east and north during October. MIR.
Ansel, in the campaign four years ago, did
fine service in Maryland, New York and
New Jersey, making fine impression
wherever he appeared.
From all sections of Greenville come dis
couraging reports Of damage done by the
drought that has now continued about six
weeks with only one light rainfall. Late
,orn and cotton has suffered greatly. Far
fners are Of the opinion that when rain
does set in everything will be flooded.
It Is learned that several important afa-
davits will be presented from this county
at the meeting Of the state committee In
Columbia Wednesday, setting forth illegal
voting in the recent primary. Some OF
these affidavits it is said, may be the basis
Of real sensation. :!

to this matter, and recommend that
they make cases in all violations OF

AT The Theatre

Naughty Ma4etta" pleased fairly
good-sized audience at the opera house
Monday night. This is deservedly one OF
the most popular comic operas on the road
and the company is first class.
Never has prettier lot OF chorus girls
visited the city or rendered sweeter music.
The songs were CATCH, the costumes
beautiful and the staging perfect.
Miss Florence Webber as Marietta was
the delight Of the audience, and John
Cardo as Captain Dick, tenor, Edouard
Beck the pirate, baritone, and Laura Baer,
q Quadroon, contralto, all had exception
ally fine voices.
The play was one Of the most amusing
ever seen here and withal one Of the most
delightful.
