Our Greatest Need.

TO encourage education to that
extent, that parents will make
sacrifices necessary to keep
their children in school until it
closes. Four ana five months
terms arenot sufficient to educate
a child. The terms have been
heightened from six to seven
months in the past three years.
Give pupils their rights by keep
ing them in school every day
of that time, Education out
weighs cotton and corn. We do
not judge country by its pro
ducts; but by its people. The
happiness and the usefulness Of
the individual depend upon
education.

HYDE PAYS DEATH
 PENALTY FOR CRIME
Convicted of Killing His Wife and His Father
 in-LaW

Columbia, S. C., October 1.-Samuel IT. Hyde of Anderson, convicted of killing his wife and her father here In July, 1911. was electrocuted here today at 12:N o'clock after midday.
 Hyde walked into the death chamber with firm tread. His arms were folded. The guards did not find 1t necessary to support him. He seated himself in the death chair without assistance and the electrodes were soon adjusted.
 Before the current was turned on, Hyde spoke for about three minutes. He said he was sorry for his crime, but added he knew he was going to heaven. The execution was delayed until the last min ute In expectation that the sentence by the governor might be stayed The gov ernor had been besieged by petitioners asking for leniency. Hyde was the first white person to pay the death penalty since the inauguration of the electric chair in South Carolina. Hyde be- queathed his body to three medical stu dents.
 On July IS, 1911, Samuel Hyde, cotton mill engineer forced his way into the residence of his father-in-law, w. H. Beasley, at orr Mill, near Anderson, and went to his wife's room and fired three times at her. She was instantly killed. In leaving the house, Hyde encountered his father-in-law. The latter grapped with him. Hyde likewise shot him dead. Hyde then surrendered to the sheriff. He declared, "I am sorry l had to shoot Beasleyn Hyde has been in jail since he committed the crimes. He was to have been put to death on July and he asked he be given the distinction of be- ing the first to die in the newly erected death chair. Hyde said he was ready to die and wanted to meet his wife in the world beyond. His actions were so strange that the penitentary officials thought that his mind must be unbal- anoed.. These asked the governor that a commission of alienists be appointed to examine into the mans mental condi- tion. IIyde's sentence through clemency was respited until September 9o A com mission was appointed. The date of exe- cution was set forward to october l. The commission reported that Hyde was sane and that he should be held re- sponsible.

ELIMINATION DAY
 FOR CANDIDATES Murphy Considers Availa- bility of Aspirants MACK IS DOOMED Fight Over Naming Judge Parker as Permanent Chairman of Conyen-
 tion-Glynn Delivers the
 Keynote Speech

Syracuse, N. Y, October This was elimination day for many aspirants for the eubernatorial nomination when the democratic state convention assembled here. Tonight Charles F. Murphy, leader Of Tammany Hall. and those associated with him in control of the party organiza- tion, were weighing and analyzing the qualifications of three men as party standard bearers Justice Victor J. Dow ling of New York, Martin H. Glynn Of Albany, the convention's temporary chair man and Congressman William Sulzer of New York. Late tonight a boom was started for former National Chairman Norman E. Mack, as a compromise candi- date.
 Murphy and the leaders are not expect ed to decide upon the likely candidate until the convention assemblies for its nominating session Thursday. The Tam many leader says the convention Is to be unbossed.
 MT. Murphy's closest advisors say 'hal the name of Governor Dix had been prac- tically eliminated from further eonsidera.- ton. It was said Murphy had found the opposition to the governor coming from too many quarters to be ignored.
 Murphy and the county leaders were
  victory in the selection of former Judge Alton B. Parker for the conventon's per- manent chairman over United States Sen ator O'Gorman, whose name has been put forward by anti-organization men,
 Those seeking to deal a blow to Leader Murphy and the state organization de- cided to make an issue over the proposal to name Judge Parker. When the per- manent organization committee met, or,lr IT pf Ta cttoOactaH the name of Senator O'Gorman. who is here urging that a progressive candi- date be chosen. and a progressive plat form drafted in the interest of Governor Wilson's presidential campaign, in pref ereflce to Judge Parker. This precipitated an unexpected contest. The roll call showed 37 votes for Judge Parker and five for Senator O'Gorman. The senator later declared his name had been used without his knowledge and he had par ticipated in the conference recently which favored Judge Parkers selection
 The anti-organization men still con- tinued their opposition to Judge Parker, however. and tonight were considering making a fight against the committees s choice on the convention floor.
 The platform being prepared Is to be progressive in spirit and is said to he satisfactory 10 friends of Governor Will son here. Senator O'Gorman said to- night:
 "Everything Is progressing satisfactori- ly. The platform is a progressive one and l hope to see d progressive can1i- date nominated to stand on itv
 The 450 delegates heard Temporary Chairman Glynn today deliver the key note speech of the democratic state cam paign, after which the motion for ad- 1ournment until tomorrow was carried.

Among other things, he attributes Colonel Roosevelts advocacy of progress sive measures to ..an Insane ambition ana not to an honest desire for progress"; charges him with being ''consciously or unconsciously the tool of the Steel and Harvester trusts,'' and with having 'base- lv betrayed a friend in the person of President Taft"
 ..The only fraud attempted ar Chicago" " says MT. Bartholdt in his letter. "ema- mated from your side in the shape of the fake contests styled as psychological by your own press and condemned and voted down by your own friends. Who, then, is the highwayman?
 Of the Steel and Harvester trusts mat ter the letter says
 If President Taft had disregarded the law and the interests of the people as you have dcne, through failure to prose cute these trusts. he would have had no opposition for the nomination. But she moment he had authorized the Attorney General to institute proceedings these powerful combinations looked around for a candidate with whom to beat MT. Taft and they settled on you and furnished all the money deemed necessary to carry the primaries.'
