Too Many Votes Claimed to be Polled
In Newberry.

When the Democratic Executive
Committee Of Newberry County met
TO canvass the vote Of that county on;
Thursday, a petition was presented
asking for recount CT the vote OF
the county. but without dissenting
vote tho petition was laid on the ta-i
Bile. The recount was asked because
Of the large increase IN the vote this
year over that of two years ago. The
petitioners then gave notice that they
would appeal the case to the STATE
Democratic Executive Committee. a
dispatch from Newberry says the In
crease of the vote in that county oy-
e. two years ago coaTiaces many
that a large number of fraudulent
votes were cast. The Vote for gov
ernor there II the frst primary OF
1910 was z.4S2 and in the second
primary 1855. This year the vote
is s,oc3. There is no doubt in the
minds Of thinking. persons that the
vote for governor in the State is at
least 10000 more than it ought to be,
and they are asking what the State
executive committee is going to do
about it. -

they GOT TOO BOLD
SEVERAL RAILROAD MEN CHARG-
ED WITH FRAUD.
A Big Round-Up Of Alleged s6'nd-
1ers by the Southern Railway COM
pany at Mobile.

Completing a trip through four
states il roundup OF indicted for
mer employees os the Southern rail
way, Detective Edward Mcqueen cf
the Railway Secret service, reached
Mobile Friday. The search, which
is for the time being ended, began
August and was for the purpose of
aTsesting eleven ticket sellers and
ticket takers Of the Southern, who,
It is alleged In the Indictments, swim
died the company out Of more than
$4,000.
O. the eleven indicted employees,
nine have been landed behind prison
bars. One has pleaded guilty and six
others have confessed. Two are at
liberty, but their arrest Is but a mat
ter of time. Ali Of the alleged depre-
datio1s were committed OF the Mo-
bile-se!ma branch Of the Southern
railway. The operations extended
back for ten years, but the indict-
ments a;lege only those acts perpe-
trated within the period Of three
years. All Of those indicted had been
N the employ Of the company foE
many years.
The scheme or conspiracy was
worked by the ticket seller selling
the passenger ticket which he
would not stamp as required by the
railroad. Boarding the train the
tickets taken from these passer gers
by the ticket collector would not be
returned to the collector In accord
ance with regulation, but to the tick
ct seller in on the deal. He in turn
would put the ticket back IN the rack
to be sold over again, splitting the
money with tins ticket taker. When
ever the auditor put In an appear
a1ce to check up the ticket seller,
The tickets would balance with the
previous statement when compared
With the finances on hand. In this
way the scheme worked interruptedly
sor number OF years and then there
was a careless slip in the plot and the
followed.

"He can't be mortgaging his farm
every time he needs a little money.
Other countries have discovered how
to assist him. An admirable system
of AGRICULTURAL societies has been de-
yeloped in Ireland, and an excellent
one in Germany, and the present
Democratic Congress has done moth

suit was declared. He said the coun-
ty executive committees should be
required to lay all matters before the

"Hon. John Gary Evans, Spartan
burg, s. c., The Chronicle reports
10000 more votes than our popula-

accusation. Our State committee
owes It to the people to SIT this mat-

the following:
"The primary election in South

nation of candidates of the Democrat
ic party, yet the person recatytng
such nomination Is practically elect
ed, there being but one party In the
State.
1--WE have thrown every safeguard
around our general election In No-#
vember. The primary election has
been left practically open to every
white man in the State who viii join
a Democratic club, and swear TO sup
port the nominees and policy Of the
party.
"It is left almost entirely, to the
honor Of our citizens, and, heretofore.
these elections have been fairly and
honestly conducted. II there has
been fraud in this election, It Is the
duty of the executive committee OF
the party to see to it that It is thor
oughly purged, otherwise It will be
the last, as South Carolinians never
have and never viii submit to fraud
ulent nominees. No honest candidate
would desire, or accept nomination
tainted in the slightest degree With
fraud.
"For the honor Of the State and
the preservation Of our free and sac
red institutions, I feel satisfied that
the committee will do its duty.

ed by the committee:
To Safeeua-d Primary.
/ Resolved, That committee of
five, together with the chairman as

the chairman to revise and reconcile
the constitution Of the Democratic
party and to devise some means OF
safeguarding the primary elections
and report same to a meeting of the
State executive commute prior to
January /. 1914"
In introducing the resolution DR.
Dreher said that unless there was
some restriction, it was only a ques'
tlon Of time before the primary svs-
TEN would be abolished. He de,
clared that the politicians OF the
State had been afraid to tackle the
question and that it was time for the
executive committee or some other
body to take action. He thought
that the system had been abused In
! many instances. Dr.. Dreber asked
/ for expressions on the question be-
! fore it was put to vote. The com
! mittee will be named later by Chair
man Evans.
