PARTY NEEDS MONEY
WANTS OF THE DEMOCRACY ARE
VERY PRESSING.
Situation Becomes Urgent and the
Finance Committee Makes Appeal
to South Carolina.

To the Democrats Of South Carolina:
The chairman of the finance COM
mittee for South Carolina for the ma
tional Democratic committee receiv-
ed the following telegram from Hen
ry Morgenthau, chairman Of the gen
eral finance committee Of the Demo
cratic national committee:
National committee must have
funds this week. Send US for your
State by Saturday or Monday at least
$4,000. Communicate with your
finance committee and other promi-
nent Democrats and see, if possible,
that your collections equal this
amount. The situation is urgent and
we depend upon you"
Owing to the fine contribution OF
$1,000 received from Charleston,
through Henry W. Conner Of the
South Carolina finance committee, it
is possible to comply with Mr.. Nor
genthau's call. But what will be the
condition next week and the week
following when the needs OF the ma
tional committee will be at least as
great and when there will not be a
Charleston mine to be worked?
That question may be answered
satisfactorily by those counties that
have not begun to give financial sup
port to the Democratic cause. When
the children Of a graded school In
Greenwood county has given more to
Democracy than is represented by the
counties with 5000 Democratic vot-
ers; when not one Of 21 counties has
contributed as much as 800; when
little Dorchester has given more
than Greenville and Cherokee COM
bined and as much as Spartanburg,
il is readily seen that there is room
for tremendous additions to the fund
without placing a strain upon either
financial capacity or party spirit.
Hundreds of prominent Demo
Gratis" have been communicated with
personality; some have responded,
many have not. Time is now very
limited. and the situation as describ-
ed by Chairman Morgenthau is here
given to the public for such action as
it may inspire.

look into the house that morning,
and also recalled having seen him on
Main street last Thursday. He was
smooth-shaven then, however, and
now wore false mustache.
He wore a neatly fitting dark blue
or black suit, a rundown collar. a
white silk necktie with a green snake
woven into the design, tan shoes and
a black derby hat.
The negro, she said, seemed to be
nearly seven feet tall. He wore over
alls, a woody gray cap and brand new
patent leather shoes, which squeaked
when he walked.
After a while the white man told
the negro to leave, and the latter did
so with alacrity. The burglar then
locked the front window, took the
key of the door leading from the sit
ting room to the hall out of the door
and laid it on the piano, and locked
the door with key of his own. he
examined the girls chains to see tha1
they were secure, and then LETT the
room through the side "lnoo"'
breaking the glass.
After a while the little cnlldren re-
turned from their play and sat down
on the front porch. When Mrs.
Gaines came home about 5:4o O'Clock
She asked her little son William
where Lily was. He answered that
he die not know. Miss Lily moaned
81 lound that they heard her.
When they found the door and the
front window locked, Frances. the
little sister Of Miss Lily. went around
to the side window and saw her lying
on the floor chained. Mrs. Gaines
was greatly agitated and went to the
telephone and called t., police and
Mr.. Gaines.
Frances came into the room
through the side window and un'
loosed the chains. J. VI. Crawford, q
bor. was called, and forced the
door open. On the table, where the
whiskey stood, was the note left b!
the burglar. 1t was written on sta
tionery which Miss Lily had beer
using earlier in the afternoon. Ihere
were only a dozen words, more o.
less, and they we're in capital leeeer'
which as are used in print. The nott
was turned over to Policeman wal
lace ". LittleJohn.

LIVELY TIMES AHEAD
THERE WILL BE THREE PARTIES
IN THE ELECTION.
But the Democrats Are Certain of
Success Before They Ever Go Up
Against Teddy's Forces.

The Columbia correspondent of
the Augusta Chronicle says three
parties will participate in the gen.
eral election in South Carolina to be
held on November 5-the success OF
the Democratic party always being
assured in this State. The electors
of the Democratic party have already
been named and electors Of both the
Republican and Progressive party
will be placed on the ticket. The Re-
publican party in this State is made
I'd almost to man out Of the negro
voters. The Progressives claim that
the new party is white mans party
and that the negro is not welcome.
At the meeting Of the ProgressiVes
several days ago W. P. Beard Of Alb
beville was named as permanent sec
retary. Beard is a great friend of
Governor Blease and is editor Of the
News-Scimetar, the official Blease
newspaper in South Carolina. At
least it has been and no announce
ment has been made as to the change
of policy. Beard was also constable
appointed by the governor to accom-
pany him on his campaign during the
summer. The people Of the State are
very much interested just now in just
what the relations will be between
Blease and Beard.
Will Beard be Progressive and
be continued on the pay roll OF the
Democratic voters Of the State for
practically all taxpayers are Demo-
Gratis. 1t will also be remembered,
too, that just before the executive
committee declared Blease the DEM
ocratic nominee that Beard wrote
some articles Of semi-oficial ma
ture stating the position Of the ad-
ninistration. At that time Beard
showed his Bull Moose inclination
because he intimated that should
please be declared not the nominee
that he would run any way and that
a full state ticket from governor
down would be placed in the field.
The Republicans and the Progress
sives will not put out a state ticket.
Republican officers say that district
conventions will be called and that
candidates for congress will be put
out in every district Where are the
Republican and Progressive votes
coming from? According to the re-
turns from the Democratic primary
over 100000 votes were cast. In the
last general election there were g.
965 Republican votes cast. 1t is
hardly probable that many Demo-
Gratis will violate their oath and bolt
the party. Then, too, the Democrat
ic vote was abnormal. Will the Re
publicans and the Progressives split
the 1000?

CONVICTED BY CAMERA.
Railroad SIeuths Use Photograph to
Enforce Anti-Booze Rules.

Employees Of the transportation de-
partment Of the Lackawanna rail-
road were confounded when it be-
came known that the enforcement OF
the rule prohibiting employees from
patronizing saloons while on or on
duty, is taking the form OF photo
graphing violators.
Two employees, one veteran who
would have been placed on the pen
sion list in a few years, were snapped
by a detective while regaling them
selves in a saloon at Elmira, N. y,
and the picture forwarded to the di-
vision superintendent at Scranton.
s'Is this your picture?" the super
intendent asked the employees, exhl-
biting a small photograph. The men
were speeches. at first but finally
admitted that they had been caught
with the goods. They were discharg-
&c on the SPOT.

WILL LOSE THEIR EARS
Terrible Threats Are Made Against
Strike Breakers

Angry strikers and strike sympa-
thivers along the Geogia railroad be-
tween Atlanta and Augusta threaten
this morning that they will seize, and
cut off the ears of the first strike
breakers they can lay hands on; and
that they will nail their ears on the
doors OF the railway coaches as a
warning to other strike-breakers.
The brutal picturesqueness OF the
threat has aroused no little excite
ment here, and the view is taken a.
mong railroad men that the strikers
may mean literally to carry it out,
.inasmuch as they have already fired
on, stoned and beaten members OF
he strike-breaking crews.

AXE MAN SLAYS FOUR
DREADED MURDERER OF THE
WEST APPEARS IN ILLINOIS.
Maniacal Brute Swung His lnstru-

Silent

ment Of Death While Victims
Slept.
Four more victims are added to
the list of the maniacal brute
who for nearly a year has been max
ing his trail eastward across the
country by households slaughtered
with an axe. The bodies Of the four
were found 16 miles from Quincy,
H., in the ruins of house that had
been burned. 1t was thought at first
that fire had overtaken them in their
sleep, but investigation showed the
handiwork of the axe man.
The victims were Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Plandschmidt, their 16-year-
old daughter, Blanche, and Miss EN-
ma Kaempen, 81, a Quincy teacher
ho. had gone to the Pfandschmidt
country home for the week end.
Miss Kaempen's body and that OF
Miss Pfandschmidt were found un-
der a mattress which to some extent
had protected them against the
flames. 4 pillow on which Miss
Kaempen had been lying was sc
soaked with blood that it did not
burn, and the back Of the young Wo-
mans head therefore was well pre-
served.
Plainly visible on the top of the
head was a. deep wound, evidently
made with an axe, and the back OF
the Pfandschmidt girls head, which
also escaped incineration, though the
face was burned, was eloquent Of a
similar story. The bodies Of the
two older people were burned in
such a way as to give no hint Of the
cause of their death. Apparently
the murder was planned with care,
for the telephone wires had been cut
The killing shows but two Varla-
tions from the method generally fol
lowed by the axe murderer In al!
other cases he has done his work on
Saturday nights and in no other case
has he resorted to the use of fire to
cover his tracks. In other details,
however, this has the characteristics
of the slaughters that have gone be-
fore, as every occupant of every
house he has entered has been killed,
and all, apparently in their sleep.
