JAIL DELIVERY IN COLLETON.
Two Escape-All Doors Found Sc
curely Locked.

Walterboro, October 22.-Sunday
night Fred Sanders and Levi Taylor,
two prisoners confined in the county
Jail, escaped some time in the early
night, leaving behind them no trace
to indicate where or by what means
they went.
The manner in which this jail de-
livery was effected is shrouded in
mystery. The prisoners in the jail
were all fed as usual by Sheriff Fox
Sunday evening about 7 o'clock and
carefully locked up for the night.
About midnight the sheriff was
aroused by a call from the
iail and on investigation he
was Informed by the other pris-
oners that the above mentioned
could not be found. Deputy Sheriff
Benton was telephoned for, and to-
gether they went through the jail,
and everything was found as it had
been left. The only theory as to their
escape is that they were assisted by
their friends and were provided with
duplicate keys. All the doors were
found securely locked. No trace can
Se found as to their whereabouts.

RABBI BRINGS SUIT.
Asks $1,000 Damages Of G. & w. c.
Railway Company.

Suit for damages in the sum of
$1,000 has been brought at Green
vile by the Rev. c. Zaglin, local
rabbi, against the Charleston and
Western Carolina Railway company,
through his attorney Adam c. Wei
born. The plaintiff alleges that
while passenger on this railway, be-
tween Laurens and Greenville, he
attempted to get drink of water in
the coach in which he was riding,
but finding none in there walked in
to the Pullman car just in the rear
end and proceeded to get a drink
there. He alleges that the Pullman
conductor came forward and cursed
and assaulted him and drove him out
of the car.-Anderson Mail.

The Progressive party, headed by
Theodore Roosevelt, is organizing in
this State, and the white men IN
charge of it's organization are work
ing hard to make a showing in the
coming general election. How any
South Carolina white man can vote
for Roosevelt, in the face of his past
record on the race question, is a
mystery to us, but there are num-
bers of white men in South Carolina
who are going to vote for him. Let
us not be Indifferent. 1t is the duty
of every Democrat to go to the polls
and vote. 1t is not only duty you
owe to your State and country but
it is a sacred duty you owe to your
selves and your children. Let it not
be said of us that we, through care
lessness and indifference, forgot the
trying times of reconstruction and
negro domination in South Carolina.

johnson Threatened Lawyer.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-When Attorney
Charles E. Eberstein, representing
the mother of Lucille Cameron,
visited Jack Johnson's saloon to-day
in company with United States depu-
ty marshals to serve subpoenas on
witnesses who are to appear before
the federal grand jury, the negro
pugilist threatened the lawyer with
personal injury.
Throw that lawyer out of the
place or l will kill him. shouted
johnson to one of his body guards.
Federal officers protected the attor-
ney and served the pugilist's aged
mother and nine employees of the
saloon with subpoenas before leav-
ing bAe place.
|. Several important witnesses
against Johnson could not be found
to-day, but federal officers continued
their search.
The federal grand jury investiga-
ton into Johnson's alleged violations
of the Mann White Slave act, is
scheduled to begin tomorrow, when
Lucille Cameron, her mother and 25
other witnesses are expected to testi-
fly.
The. police have reported to May
or Harrison that Johnson had violat-
ed the 1 o'clock closing ordinance a
dozen times in the last month and
have recommended the revocation OF
his license. Mayor Harrison has
taken the report of the police un-
der consideration.

His Wasn't the Only One.

A candidate for congress had been
making a speech in one of the towns
of his district where he was not well
known personally, and in the evening
while waiting for a train he strayed
into butchers shop and, without
saying who he was, began to pump
the butcher to find out how he stood.
Did you hear that speech this af-
ternoon?" he inquired, after some
general talk.
YES" replied the butcher, 81 was
there"
What do you think of it,"
"Pshaw," said the honest butcher,
1--WE made better speech than that
a hundred times, trying to sell fifteen
cents worth of soup bones"
The candidate concealed his iden-
tity.

A glance at some of the leaders
of the Progressive Party in this
State should be sufficient for those
of us who love South Carolina. Mr..
Sherwood Dunn, the organizer and
main guy, is New Yorker who has
been living in, Aiken for only a
few years; w. P. Beard, the secre-
tary, was lately editor of the News
Scimitar, Blease newspaper pub
lished at Greenwood, and body
guard to Governor Blease during the
recent campaign; Albert Orth, one
of the Charleston leaders, is edl-
tor of a German newspaper in that
city and was a strong supporter OF
the governor during the campaign;
w. Boyd Evans, of Columbia, was
secretary to Governor Ellerbe and a
man who has run for Office repeatedly
since that time, always being repu-
dated by South Carolina Democrats.
Can a man who has the best inter-
ests of the State at heart follow
such men? We do not see how he
can. We only mention the support
of Governor Blease by Beard and
Orth because they were such loud
mouthed partisans and because they
voted for Blease in the primary and
took an oath to support the nominees
of the Democratic party. Are they
doing it?

PEOPLE STILL WALK.
No Street Cars Moving in Columbia
on Account of Strike.

Columbia, Oct. 21.-The third day
Of the strike of the motormen and
conductors of the Columbia street
railway finds the situation unchanged
and with both sides standing firm.
The striking carmen are holding out
for recognition by the company of
the Amalgamated Association, while
the street car company officials are
holding firmly to their refusal to rec
ognize or deal with the Amalgamat-
ed Association, while offering to deal
with the local union.
No cars had been run up to the
middle of the afternoon and the
thousands of visitors who crowded
Columbia for the big circus had eth
er to call into requisition the automo-
biles, hacks or conveyances which
piled between the circus grounds
and the city or to make the trip on
foot. The majority of people had to
foot" it to and from the circus
grounds.
Rain Adds to Discomfort.
A damp, chilly atmosphere added
to the disagreeableness of the day.
At frequent intervals throughout the
morning rain fell, driving the crowds
that filled the streets into stores and
the nearby places of shelter. The
circus parade at 10 o'clock passed
down Main street through crowds
that lined both sides of the street and
the circus had full way, for there
were no street cars to interfere with
their passage.
Absolute quiet still prevails among
the striking carmen and no disor-
ders of any kind have been reported
so far. The carmen have many SYM
pathizers among the people, as is
shown by many badges pinned to pc
destrians reading, Il Walk" and 9TH
ers stating, 81 Walk and Cook with
Wood"
1t seems to be a waiting attitude
between the street car officials and
the striking carmen. Both sides are
standing firm and with no signs of
yielding.

Wofford College Notes.

if you will give me little space IN
your paper 1 will try and give you
an idea of what we are doing at dear
old Wofford. AS there has been sc
much in the papers this fall about
hazing at the various colleges and
of incidents where many boys were
numerically treated and even a few
killed, it has become serious mat
ter with parents as to which college
they shall send their sons to. Wof-
ford has never had the name of be-
ing a college for hazing. Some have
heretofore attributed this to the fact
that Wofford did not have a dorml-
tory and consequently the boys could
not get into such groups, while 9TH
ers who know the institution better
said that it was because Wofford had
such gentlemanly young students
that they would not lend themselves
to such ungentlemanly conduct.
Now since this year Wofford has a
dormitory-and let me say that 1t
stands second to none in the State
or even in the South-Wofford stu
dents have proved that the latter in
depreciation was right. And even
though there are four hundred and
eighty-two students on the campus,
and over one hundred of these are
new ones, there has been practically
no hazing done this year. The first
night that we collected in this hall
which bears the name of that great
and good man, DR.. James H. Car
Isle, DR.. Snyder made a very force
full talk to the old students and urged
US to adopt the student govern
ment' plan. He then made a short
talk on hazing, and pointed out the
utter follies of the Sophomores TAX
ing the advantage of the new men
and subjecting them to cruel treat
ment. At the conclusion of his talk
we unanimously adopted the plan of
student government, and since
then have proved to the State that
there is at least one college where
parents can send their sons without
having any fear of them being mis-
treated.
The class baseball games have just
come to a close, and all the classes
had very good teams. For long
time it was difficult to say which
class would win the trophy cup, but
the Seniors finally came out victori-
Gus. All the classes are now busy
practicing for the football games.
Although Wofford is not allowed to
have a varsity football team there is
much effort put forth in the class
games, a fact which shows that Wof-
ford could have strong football
team if she was allowed to.
All the students are now looking
forward to the Spartanburg county
fair, which commences October 29th.
Although many of us are denied the
pleasure of attending the State fair,
we enjoy this county fair to the full
est extent.

W. P. Beard says he is supporting
Blease for the United States Sen
ate. AS Mr.. Beard is secretary OF
the new Progressive Party, it might
be pertinent to inquire how he ex-
poets to go about draping the toga
around the form of his friend the
governor, as Blease is still in the
Democratic ranks and will be voted
for as the Democratic nominee for
governor at the approaching election.
Is it not about time the governor was
repudiating Mr.. Beard?

We are very much pleased that the
governor has put stop to the prac-
tice of many sheriffs rushing prison
ers to the penitentiary. In the first
place it creates a needless expense in
many instances when there is little
or no danger of violence to the pris-
oners, and then it creates sensation,
for the papers, of course, print ac-
counts of the transfer of prisoners
and allude to the danger Of lynching.
Sheriffs should be made to protect
their prisoners, as it is their. sworn
duty to do, and if they cannot or will
not perform their duty they should
resign and give way to those who
will

Charleston does not want horse
racing in that city interfered with,
and that county went for Peoples for
attorney general. Is Charleston to
openly override the law of the State?
We hardly think such a course will
be allowed, and we have better
opinion of the attorney general-elect
than to think he will sit quiet and let
Charleston do as she pleases when it
comes to a violation of the act
against race track gambling. How
ever. the future will show.

YOUTH DENIES HE WAS
IN GANG THOUGHT TO
HAVE WRECKED TRAIN

Southern railroad detectives think
that in Tom Tanksley, Murray coun-
ty youth, who is held at the Tower
charged with the theft Of a horse in
Dalton, they have one of an organized
gang that wrecked Southern passen-
ger train at Cornelia last Thursday
morning.
G. w. Burke, chief special agent, who
quizzed the boy at the Tower after he
was brought to Atlanta by a Murray
county deputy sheriff, asserts that the
Tanksley boy has made a full confess
sion of his connection with the wreck
Tanksley stoutly denied to his jailer
that he had a hand in the wrecking.
According to his story, he stole a
horse in Elton, Ca, drove it to Dalton
and sold it for $40 on Tuesday last.
He then came to Atlanta and left here
for Gainesville Wednesday. He says
that he was at the scene of the wreck
a few hours after it happened, but did
not have a hand in the wrecking.
