- ~ good Lhlng Tor Juvenile Courts, IN
our big cities, to be condemning boys and
glrls to the slavery of the so-called House of
the Good Shepherd?
1 cGra''ot thisat 1t IN keeping qoith or zaaos
that these pTiVate prisons should be dotti20
the land IN all directions.
Does Mr.. Windle think it desirable that
any church should own gangs of slaves?
lie talks Of the fight his church made for
the slave of olden times. In fact. she made
none. The Roman Catholic ohaqch made no
eF0rt a0h0te0er TO eneancipate those millions
OF h0na<aa STAGES of nhOm Mr.. Wi1edJe speaks.
She made no effort to free the European
serfs, OF later times. She was the last pro-
pretor OF slaves to emancipate them.
But, right 2aoao Rome has greater num-
Der OF slaves, shut up at hard work in her
dungeons, than any State In the Union con-
tanned before the Civil War
Does Mr.. Wiadze deny this?
Ii so, let him explain three things:
a. Why does Rome build dungeons,
screened and protected by thick, high,
(2) Why does Rome so desperotezy
oppose legislation qozich seeks to dove those
dungeons periodically inspected by State
authorities?
3D. Why does Rome teach the dogma that
the State should not assist any one to regain
the freedom that was lost when the dungeon
was entered?
=
(2) Mr.. Windle claims that the Roman
church was the first to consecrate itself to the
work of retaining mankind from savaeery.
You will notice that Mr.. Windle INDUCES
IN the most positive and sweeping assertions,
and that he never gives an authority
The early Christians were mostly poor
people who could not read and write In
Rome, they made many converts among the
slaves.
At that time, highly developed civiliza-
ton existed in Egypt, Asia Minor, on the
Mediterranean, in Greece and in Rome itself
The Roman emperors were pushing this civil
lzation into Spain and Gaul.
Therefore, when Mr.. Windle speaks of
these early Christians as retaining mankind
from savagery, he talks downright bosh
For heavens sake, let the man read such
books as Mommsens Roman histories. Nit
ford's Greece, Roses Greece, Gibbons Rome,
Iuker's Rome, Life Under the Caesars, Gregg
ravln's Hadrian, Hendersons Nero, and
LecEy's great work on European Morals
Mr. Windle says that the Roman church
planted her banner upon the ramparts of
paganism, and sustained a single handed
combat with it for 1900 years before the
birth of Professionalism.
Would that this qOeYe true!
Christianity was comparatively pure at
first, and this was one cause Of its rapid
spread.
But after Constantine decreed it to be the
religion which every Roman soldier should
adopt, the r0goms simply naooed Deer into the
Christian church, bringing their pagan 6elj3f5
and customs e0ith them.

In the Summer Camp.

Col. Clifford Hurry, commissary OF
the national guard of New York, was
condemning an officer who, on an an
nual encampment, had fused too
much over his men, says the Wash
ington Star.
"a famous editor" he said, watch
ed the officer on night during the
last encampment, as he showed the
boys how to fold their clothes, how
to spread their bedding, how to drape
their mosquito netting and so forth,
and finally, when the officer took
leave, the editor called after him:
"'Hey, you've forgotten some
thing
What have I forgotten?'
"'You haven't heard 'em say their
prayers and kissed 'em all good
night"

MICAH JENKINs's OFFICE GONE.
Internal Revenue Districts of South
and North Carolina Combined.

Washington, Sept. 24.-An order
has been issued by President Taft
consolidating the internal revenue
district of South Carolina with the
4th district of North Carolina, with
headquarters at Raleigh. The office
of Major Micah Jenkins, collector OF
internal revenue for South Carolina,
at Columbia, thus disappears.
The deputy will probably be sta
toned at Columbia to sell stamps.
Who this officer will be has not yet
been determined, according to a
statement made to-day at the office
of Commissioner Cabell, in Washing
ton. The order of consolidation is
effective October l, and follows the
enactment of the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
passed at the last session of con-
gress, when provision was made for
the continuance of only sixty-three
of the sixty-seven revenue districts
now in existence, leaving to the presi-
dent the designation of the districts
to be merged.
One Texas district will be consoll-
dated and one in California. The 4th
district to vanish remains to be an
nounced.

Had No Use for Them.

A Southern sewing machine agent
drifted into the Seminole domination
one day and set up machine in
Tiger Tails tent. The old chief with
great deliberation watched him put
it through it's PAGES. He then arose,
brushed the agent to one side, and
seating himself, adjusted his feet in
the treadle. He started the wheel
and found that he could make it 60.
He sewed up one piece of cloth and
down another, and then gravely and
critically examined his work At
last he appeared to be satisfied that
it was all right. He then turned
quietly to his wives, who had watch
ed the proceedings with interest, and
kicked them, one after another, out
of his tent.-New Orleans Picayune.

Texas Generosity.

It happened in Amarillo, Tex, at
the hotel where travelling man
from Kansas City was staying for a
few days. He wore one of those lit
tie fried egg hats made him look like
a freshman. A Texas ranchman had
come to town on business and had
taken a few drinks and had become
quarrelsome. A good friend was
lowering near to see that he did not
get into any serious trouble.
AS the drummer passed through
the hotel lobby and started upstairs
the Texas spied him.
"Hey, there" he called out boldly.
Come back here"
The drummer looked amazed and
paused, but did not retrace his steps.
Come here fellow. Don't you
hear me?' loudly repeated the old
rancher.
The guardian friend touched his
arm and said: "Now, Bill, don't YOU
start anything like that here. That
fellow was minding his own business
and you let him alone and keep out
of trouble
The old Texan leered at him scorn-
fully. "Say," he replied, 81 wasn't
starting any trouble. I just want to
take that fellow out and buy him a
hat.''-Kansas City Star.

PROBERS HOLD A MEETING
COMMITTEE MET LAST TUESDAY
IN 1.-THE CITY OF SUCCESS"
Spartanburg, Greenville, Aiken and
Anderson Counties Presented
Most Serious Charges.

Spartanburg, Sept. 24.-Allega-
tions of fraudulent balloting in the
Piedmont counties and irregulari-
ties throughout the State in the
South Carolina Democratic primary,
August 27, were made to-day before
the subcommittee of the State Dem
ocratic executive committee investi-
eating alleged Irregularities.
The charges were contained in af-
fdavits and reports from county COM
mittees. Spartanburg, Greenville,
Aiken and Anderson counties pre-
sented the most serious charges of
fraud: Investigators in the first two
counties were granted an extension
of time in which to make further in
vestigations.
In the allegations submitted to the
committee it was declared that non
residents, negroes, minors and men
not enrolled were allowed to vote.
1t also was alleged that repeating
was practiced freely.
In Abbeville county it twas report
ed that the required oath was not
administered to the voters in Cold
Spring and Antreville and these box
es were thrown out.
On the face of the returns of the
recent primary the incumbent, Gov.
Blease, received the gubernatorial
nomination by a majority of 5000
votes over former Judge Ira B.
Jones.
Despite the request of Chairman
Stevenson, of the subcommittee, that
supporters of the rival gubernatorial
candidates eliminate party feeling
during the investigation, fatcional
outbreaks were frequent.
A clash narrowly was averted
when Chairman Stevenson called ].
M. Greer to order in the midst of Il
denunciation of the so-called Anti.
Blease majority of the Investigating
committee for having held meeting
in Charlotte, N. c., at which the COM
mittee's plans were outlined. Blease
supporters left their seats and start
ed menacingly toward the chairman,
but finally were pacifed.
The investigation will continue TO-
morrow,

A New Process.

From Alabama recently has come
the news of the discovery of a pro-
cess whereby cotton seed oil can be
made into "butter" said to be
cleanly, free from all artificial col
oring. The claim is made that by its
use a great economy in the market
funds will be effected.
1t is advisable for the economical
housewife to test for herself all the
"substitutes" for dairy butter; also
the various frying mediums to be
found in market. In this way she
can determine the most desirable ma
terial for her special purposes. All
have their uses-many their abuses.

FOUR FOR MURDER IN GEORGIA.
Men in Atlanta Charged with Death
of Malt Hughes and His Baby.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 23.-Four pris-
oners have been lodged in the Full
ton county tower for alleged COM
plicity in the murder of Malt Hughes
and his baby near Jasper, Ca, on
September 7.
Three of the men are brothers,
Joe, Jasper, and Yes Painter, the
fourth prisoner is Alexander Bailse.
Joe Painter and Bailse are charged
with the murder, while the warrants
on which Yes and Jasper Painter
are held charge conspiracy and dis
tilling. They were caught Thursday
in the mountains of Lumpkin county
and at first were imprisoned in the
Pickens county Jail and later brought
here.
Joe Painter and Balise were cap
tured shortly after Hughes and his
baby were killed.
Hughes was shot to death on Sep
tember 18th near his home. His
wife with a baby in her arms ran
out and tried to save her husband,
but the murderers turned on her and
a blow with the butt of shotgun
crushed the skull of the child she
held in her arms.
Mrs. Hughes claims to have recog-
nized the men who killed her hus-
band and her babe, but at first would
give no information to the officers,
fearing the vengeance of the assass-
ins.
1t was the generally advanced
theory that Hughes was murdered by
vindictive moonshiners, who believed
that he had placed evidence against
them in the hands of the revenue Of
ficers.
The four prisoners in the Fulton
tower are stolidly ,silent when ap-
preached by visitors, refusing to en-
ter into a conversation even with
their jailors.

CONFEssEs $4,000 ROBBERY.
Bank Clerk Said Feared Officers
Would Suspect His Brother.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 24.-Wil-
liam H. Bell, 20 years old, a bank
clerk, tonight confessed that he rob-
bed the local First National Bank,
Tuesday, of package containing
$50, 1000, of the Louisville and Nash
ville's payroll, and substituted a bo-
gus package in its place.
Fear that the officers would sus-
pect his brother is said to have caus-
ed Bell to confess.
The young bank clerk has been in
the employ of the local bank for two
years. In his confession to detec-
tives, he declared that he had plann-
ed to secure the money week be-
fore the payroll was made up. Last
Sunday he made bogus package,
similar in shape and size to the pay
roll package of money, filled with
magazine slips.
On Tuesday afternoon, when the
Louisville and Nashville payroll was
being fixed for shipment he slipped
the package containing the $4,000
into his locker and substituted the
package of paper in it's place.
No one noticed the change and the
bogus package together with ship
ment of $4,000 was taken to the ex-
press Office and receipted.
Tuesday night Bell took the pack
age of money to his home in suit
case. Activities by detectives and Of
ficials when the robbery became
known caused him to return the
money Saturday.
He wrapped the package in a
newspaper and after notifying the
cashier of the First National Bank
where the missing money would be
found, placed it on the back steps
of the bank building.
The cashier disregarded the anony-
nous telephone message. The pack
age was found after it had been on
the steps several hours by the jani-
tor

Men and Happenings.

The Cox cotton mill of Anderson
have asked for a receiver. The liza
bilities are said to be S350,00O and
the assets the same.
Greenville merchants have lost a
good deal lately by shoplifters, and
they think there is regular gang of
them operating in that city.
The jury at Lexington on Friday
found Jacob Watts and Govan Watts
guilty of manslaughter in the killing
of Adam Watts at Swansea May 18th
last. Their sentence was postponed.
Judge Gage signed an order in Co.
lumbia on Thursday directing B. B.
Evans to pay to the Murray Drug
company S1O3 collected by him for
the company, which he failed to ac-
count for.
A report gained currency in the
newspapers last week as to hazing at
Clemson college, but President Riggs
denies that there has been any
trouble along that line to amount to
anything, and it appears that the re-
ports were greatly exaggerated.
Even the town of McBee has a
newspaper, the McBee Courier max
ing it's first appearance last week,
with j. E. Gardner as editor and
manager. However, he has shown
good judgment in not purchasing an
outfit, as he is having his paper print
ed in Charlotte.
B. A. Blount, the former car in
spector for the Southern Railway at
the union station, who was convicted
of grand larceny in the June term OF
the court 1910 for Richland county
and sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary, was granted full par
don on Monday by the governor.
Blount was accused of taking clothes
out of a trunk at the union statlon,
and was subsequently tried and con-
victed. On September Is, 1911, he
was paroled.
In a decision rendered last Satur-
day, the State Supreme Court decided
that B. J. Rhame had the right to
continue as State bank examiner,
and that Governor Blease was with
out authority to remove him, as he
attempted to do. 1t will be remem-
bered that the governor seized as a
pretext for removing Mr.. Rhame, his
action in a Lexington bank case, but
there is little doubt but that he want
ed to remove Rhame to make place
for one of his friends.

VALUABLE OLD CLOTHES.
Garments Which are Worth More
When Worn Out Than When New.

Hundreds of workers in the United
States wear clothes which at the end
of year of hard work are worth five
or ten times as much as they were
when newly purchased.
1t is hard to imagine a pair of
worn out overalls and jumper, pair
of rundown shoes and a brimless hat
as worth more than the most ex-
pensive creations of the French mill
liners and dressmakers' art, yet this
is often the case in places in which
the precious metals are worked.
Every one heard in his primary
school days about ths extraordinary
care taken of employees in the United
States mints, how they were obliged
to leave their clothes in the mint af-
ter work every night and how every
precaution was taken to guard
against theft or fraud of any other
Sort
Fraud and theft are not the only
things heads of the mint officials have
to guard against with these garments,
however. The intrinsic worth of the
garments is great enough to justify
the extraordinary care with them.
The gold dust and filings in the gar
ments at the end of a years work
are such that it pays to keep the gar
ments and extract the gold from
them
Nor is this confined to the United
States mint. In practically every
place in which gold is worked the
garments of workers are treated to
extract gold. 1t is common saying
in gold refneries that the richest ore
is the clothes of the workers. There
is an exhibit in the Field museum in
Jackson Park, Chicago, showing a
shoe worn by a gold worker. Be-
side it is a good-sized "button" OF
gold which was extracted from the
mate of the shoe shown.

MARLBORO VOTE A TIE.
In Third Primary Clerk Of Court
Candidates Receive Same Vote.

Bennettsville, Sept. 24.-1n the
third primary the returns obtained
over the phone give Tom c. Hamer
1,127 and Julian McLaurin 1,126 for
clerk of court-a difference of one
vote. In the second primary from
like information Hamer led by three
votes. The executive committee by
a vote of nine to five after recount
and allowing one McLaurin vote that
had been challenged declared the
contest a tie. The contested vote
was challenged by Mr.. Peters, a sup
porter of McLaurin, he not knowing
for whom the party was voting, the
ground of challenge being that the
voter was not white Democrat"
DR.. Charlie Napier and Mr.. Will
John, two of the county's most prom
inent citizens, testified under oath
that the party was not recognized as
a white Democrat. The party,
with no one to corroborate him, tes-
tilted that he was a white Democrat.
The committee accepted the voters
side and allowed the vote for Nc
Laurin, this making necessary the
third primary.
Nearly the same vote was cast this
time as was cast in the first primary,
and about two hundred more than
was cast in the second primary, when
three Offices were to be filled.
In all probability a recount will be
asked for by Mr.. McLaurin.
