FOLK SAYINGS

toned as a presidential candidate
on the democratic ticket. A Mis-
souri, paper publishes these sentenc
es from the writings and speeche
of Folk, and we are sure our read
ers will find something good in this
column:
Progressive democracy is con
structive, not destructive.
There is need for more people
who can be agsressively honest.
Individuals are of passing mo,
ment. Principles are immortal,
Political bosses are usually Of
strong mentality and of feeble NOR
ality.
No man, no nation, no party can
stand still-We must progress or
d.cay.
There is an embezzlement of
power, as we'll as an embezZlement
of money.
No city, no state, no nation can
be injured by enforcement of the
peoples laws.
There is little danger from error
when public opinion is enlightened
and reason is free.
The democratic party is not
against wealth, but the conditions
that create poverty.
The Indifference Of voters is the
greatest menace to a republican
form Of government.
If the people cannot be trusted to
govern themselves, who can be
trusted to govern them?
advocate the initiative and ref
erendum as a means of lessening
corruption in our legislatures
1t is neither fair nor just for nine
ty millions of people to be taxed in
order to make a very few rich.
There is no such thing as an au-
tomatically good government; we
must have good men in public Of
flee.
The time of the hermit nation
has passed. American ships should
carry American products into every
land.
AS privilege increases, opportuni-
ty must diminish, and as opportun-
ity diminishes the rights of the in
dividual are destroyed.
The great question before the
country is, Shall there be govern
ment by the people for all, or GOV
ernment by privilege for classY
Criminal wealth, when assailed,
always tries to hide behind the
skirts of legitimate business, and
claims that business is harmed
when attacked,
All the democratic party needs in
order to succeed at the next cleo
ton is to keep the faith of the peo-
pie, and be true to its own princi-
pies,
The demand for direct election o
United States senators shows tn
growing desire of the people tt
take the government into their own
hands
Some think so little Of their obi
cation to the general welfare that
they are indifferent to being
Robbed so long as they do not fee
the effect directly,

ID. Frank McAlister, Of Ameri-
Gus, Ga, Is In Oconee for few days
visiting among relatives and friends.
He Is the same genial, good fellow
that he has ever been, and the fact
that he ran head-flrst into bad luck
in his farm operations this year
hasn't even phased him. Ho was hit
hard, he says, but he is already up
and on his feet, preparing to make a
success OF his 1912 operations. He
raised about 100 bales OF cotton in
1911, but was able to pick only rs
bales, owing to bad conditions. Tho
rs bales pulled him through without
leaving him in debt, and having
made sufficient corn and feed stuff to
do him, he Is In condition to once
more start oven. We would like to
see him citizen Of Oconee again.
We need just such plucky fellows a..
he to build up this section. But he
Is satisfied with Georgia, so we have
to he satisfied without him, and wo
hope that he and his may prosper
in their new home.

LOUIS B. MAGID INDICTED.
Banker Accused Of False Testimony
i'm Federal Courts.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 19.-Louis B.
Magid, president Of the l.. B. Magid
Company, bankers, has been indicted
on six counts, charging perjury, by
the Fulton county grand jury. The
true bills were returned on infOrma-
ton furnished the jury by r. A. Nc
Vey, acting for the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, and grew out
OF Magid's testimony In a Superior
Court suit, recently brought to en-
join the merger Of the Georgia Rail-
way and Power Company, and a Fed
eral suit under the Sherman act.
Col. w. l.. Peel, president of the
American National Bank, made his
bond.
Mr.. Magid has been more or less
Interested in the development of the
Tallulah Falls section. He at one
time projected silk industry in
that region without success. In ad-
dition to his interest in the develop
ment or water power at Tallulah, he
is at present interested in the Appa-
lachian Apple Orchards Company, an
organization operating under the
unit system.
Mr.. Magid's attorneys gave out a
statement this afternoon to the ef-
feet that MIR. Magid believes the in
dictment result Of his determina-
ton to push his suit against the
power company. Statements made
to him by attorneys for the company
were construed by Mr. Magid in the
light OF threats. He says 1t Is found
cd on one-sided evidence and he de-
sires a speedy trial. His lawyers
brand the persecution" as a claw
less and outrageous attempt to force
him to withdraw his suit"

Chicago, Oct. 21.-The advisable
ity Of permitting Col. Roosevelt to

left for New York at sos a. m. AL
though Col. Roosevelt's condition
was normal yesterday, it was learned
that his wound bled considerably
and that he was suffering from nerv-
Gus exhaustion.
The former Presidents physicians
insisted that both Of these develop
ments were to be expected, and that
there was in them no cause for
alarm. The bleeding, 1t was ex-
planned by DR.. Lambert, necessarily
accompanied the discharge Of serum,
which is part Of the healing process.
DR.. Lambert also said that any pa.
tient who had been In bed for, a
week would suffer from nervous ex-
haustion and that Col. Roosevelt
needed only to have absolute rest.

ROPE NEARLY CUT HEAD OFF.
Autoist Drove Car Under Rope Hang
ing Across Road.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Nearly de-
capitated as the result Of an automo-
bile accident, Alexander O'Shea, a
civil engineer, lies to-day at local
hospital near death. O'Shea, who is
connected with the government gun
proving grounds at India" Head, was
driving his car rapidly through the
navy yard last night when he dashed
into rope stretched across the road.
The rope caught him beneath the
chin.
That his head was not torn from
his shoulders was due to the slack
ness of the rope and to the quick ac-
ton of friend in the tonneau who
sprang forward and reversed the en-
gine. O'Shea was hurried to the hos
pital, where II stitches were taken
In his throat. Later he recovered
consciousness, but his vocal chords
appeared paralyzed.

ANOTHER MOTORCYCLE VICTIM
Anderson Man Run Down by Ma
chine-Speed go Miles.
(Anderson Mail, 22d.)

Charlie Lewis, an operative Of the
Anderson mill, was struck Monday
night by a motorcycle going at the
rate Of so miles an hour, as he
stepped from street car on West
Whitner street. Lewis was danger
ously injured, receiving serious
wounds in the head and on other
parts of the body. However it Is
thought that Lewis will probably re-
cover.
From what can be learned of the
accident 1t seems that Lewis stepped
or city car at the power house on
West Whitner street and was walk
ing to the sidewalk when he was hit
by the machine, which was coming
down the street at reckless pace.
Lewis was knocked a considerable
distance and received a scalp wound
about six inches long over his right
eye and many other serious bruises
over his body. He was unconscious
when picked up and remained in that
state for some time. He was car
ried to his home in the Anderson
mill village and given medical atten-
ton by Dr.. Sanders. The name Of
the rider Of the motorcycle could not
be learned. The man whose name
was generally connected with the af-
fair denies that he was the rider.
At noon Tuesday Lewis was rest
ing easily and had regained con-
sciousness, but was in great pain. He
Is a son Of Mrs. Harriet Lewis.

TREsTLE NOT YET COMPLETED.
Hope TO Cease Transferring on Blue
Ridge by Next Sunday.

Trains were not operated over the
new Six-and-Twenty trestle yester-
day, as was hoped by Blue Ridge off,
cials last week. The bad, rainy wea-
ther Of the past week delayed the
work considerably and prevented the
officials of the road carrying ou. their
plans.
The Anderson Mail Of Monday last
says:
About forty yards more Of the
bridge remain to be constructed, and
will probably not be in condition to
support trains until Sunday.
"The company hoped to be able to
have the bridge completed by "show
day. and thus save the large num-
Der OF passengers who come to the
circus the unpleasant walk across the
ravine, III addition to other more i'm
portant reasons. The imDossibility
of sending trans through Is almost
doubling the expense Of operation to-
the company, and this additional ex-
pense has amounted to a large sum
since the bridge was destroyed"

Death Follows Mistake of Nurse.

Yonkers, n. Y, Oct. 21.-Florence
Harris, the nurse who by mistake ad-
ministered acid instead Of salts,
causing the death of Mrs. Abram
Height, a patient at the Homeopathic
Hospital, awoke this afternoon after
"a hours Of unconsciousness due to
collapse upon realizing her error.
physicians say the nurse seems to
have lost all recollection OF what
took place whiio caring for Mrs.
Height. Upon awakening she rec
ognized several nurses, but greatly
to the surprise OF the physicians did
not refer to her mistake. She was
very weak and talked little.
The doctors decided not to ques-
ton her regarding the mistake, fear
ing any mention Of the affair would
bring second collapse. The authori-
tiles have not yet learned how the
acid came to be In the medicine cab
met next to the salts.

NEW FEDERAL COURT RULING.
Will Not Adjourn--Only IL Recess Or
dercd.

Greenyille, Oct. 19.-One Of the
features Of the session of the Fede-
raj Court yesterday was a ruling
made by Judge Rose to the effect that
he will not adjourn the present term
OF court, but will recess it until the
next term meets. The purpose of
this ruling leaving the court in ses-
sion is to guard against any of the
several parties convicted at this
term--but who will not begin serv-
ing their sentences until later-ltak-
ing advantage OF the mercy ON the
court by failing to put in their Aap-
pearance when the day arrives for
them to go to prison. Should any
one who has been shown this mer,y
fail to report for jail service on tie
day appointed he will be arreste1
and the sentence already passed
upon him increased to any extent the
court sees fit
AS Is generally known, the Fede-
raj Judges sitting in court at Green
vile have frequently shown great
mercy to men convicted Of offenses
against the government. For in
stance, If man is convicted at the
spring term Of the court and given
jail sentence the Judge will allow
that man to go and finish his crop
If he has one-and begin serving
his sentence after the crops have
been laid by" If man is convict
ed at the fall term Of the court the
Judge sometimes allows that man to
go ana gather his crops, and then
serve the sentence I'm the winter
months, when there is no work to
De done on the farm.

CHARGED WITH ABDUCTION.
Mother Of White Gi,l Causes Arrest
OF Negro Pugilist.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Jack Johnson,
negro pugilist, was charged with ab-
ducting Miss Lucille Cameron, 10
years old, in warrant sworn out by
the girls mother, Mrs. f. Cameron
Falconnett, of Minneapolis, to-day.
Mrs. Cameron-Falconne appeared
with an attorney before Municipal
Judge Wells, who signed the war;
rant. She became hysterical when
she faced her daughter in the police
station. Counsel representing John
son attempted to see Miss Cameron,
but the request was denied.
Johnson was arrested at his home
and after being formally booked was
released SO he might get judge to
approve his bond, which was fixed at
$500. Bond was later increased to
$500.
The pugilist appeared to be furi-
GUS because of his arrest. He de-
manded to SEQ Miss Cameron, and
demanded her release on BAIL but
his request was refused.
Unfortunately, Report Not True.
Chicago, Oct IL. - The rumor
spread throughout the city, and from
here throughout the country, that
Jack Johnson had been killed, was
not true.
When the pugilist, in seeking
money to put up for bail in the alb
duction case Saturday, stopped his
automobile in front of downtown
bank, such crowd gathered that
police were called.
Mutterings against the fighter
were heard, but there was no open
demonstration. A few negroes cried,
"Hurrah for Johnson"
A report that Johnson had visited
the bank in an attempt to obtain
$4,000 to effect the girls release on
bond caused Federal officers to plan
to remove Miss Cameron to the coun-
ty jail at Rockford, III. U. s. Com
missioner Foote authorized her re-
moval.
Miss Cameron was later taken to
Rockford by deputy marshal. Her
hearing on a charge of disorderly
conduct was continued to October 20.
While Johnson was leaving bank
downtown an unidentified man
dropped large ink we'll from the
window on the tenth floor of an Of
flee building. The heavy glass mar
rowly missed the pugilist's head.
Coon Pugilist Gets Rough.
chicago, Oct. Zl.-Whon ATTORNEY
Chas. e. Erbstein, representing the
mother Of Lucille Cameron, visited
Jack Johnson's saloon to-day in COM
pany with United States deputy mar
shals to serve subpoenas on wit
nesses who are to appear before the
Federal grand jury, the negro pugil-
ist threatened the lawyer with per-
sonal injury.
Throw that lawyer out Of the
place or will kill him." shouted
Johnson to one Of his bodyguards.
Federal officers protected the attor-
ney and served the pugilist's aged
other and nine employees Of the sa-
loon with subpoenas before leaving
the place.
Coming to their Senses.
Sydney, Australia, Oct. 21.-Jack
Johnson VIII not fight in Australia.
Hugh Mcintosh, who had offered
Johnson $4,000 for fights with Sam
Langford and Sam MacVeagh or Joe
Jeanette, cabled to-day to w. w. Kel-
ly, his representative in Chicago, to
cancel all negotiations.
Mcintosh explained that Johnson's
part in the alleged abduction at Chi
cago had so angered the sporting
men and public Of Australia that the
matches were no longer desirable.
