REQU1sITIoN FOR PERRY
Father of Chester Victim PETITIONS
Governor for Papers.

Chester, May 2S.-Chester is deep
" interested in the identity OF the
individual who has been arrested at
McAlester. Okla, at the instance or
Mr.. J. B. Gardner, former Chester
man, and is being held on suspicion
Of being W. E. Perry, who is wanted
here for the murder Of young
Langdon L. Boozer, in March, 1905.
Photographs of the McAlester .sus-
pect, which have been sent here, do
not much resemble the photographs
Of Perry that the local authorities
have. but at the same time allowance
must be made for the changes that
result in a mans appearance during
the course of seven years.
Mr.. D. L. Boozer, father OF the
murdered man, was here Saturday
and Sunday, and left yesterday for
Columbia to see Governor Blease and
have the latter issue reQuisition for
the man held at McAlester. Mean
while a habeas corpus proceeding is
to be held at McAlester, and this may
result in the release of the prisoner,
if he is able OF show that lie has not
been in Chester in recent years and
was not here at the time the crime
was committed.
There are rewards for the arrest OF
Perry aggregating $1,000, a consider
able part of which is offered by the
fothor NJ the dead boy.

For number of years it has been
the rule that of the graduates of the
high schools of the State large ma
jority were girls, and in many cases
there were no boys at all in the grad
uating class. This year there were
seven graduates in the high school
department of the Bamberg schools,
and of this number four were boys.
1t is worthy of note that the boys out
numbered the girls.

Perhaps the most remarkable feat
ure of the pending political contest
in the United States is that, how
eVer bitter the partisanry of the
three ~contending forces, there Is no
hine of war. Nearly all foreigners
consider this one of the most re-
markable things about the Ameri-
can Government. For in every other
country in the world the success
sion to the headship of the nation
always involves at least a POSSIBLE
ity of war, and, in most of them, the
strong probability of armed HOSTILE
ties. There is war in Mexico; there
Is war in Nicaragua; there Is war
in the Balkans; China Is still dis
turbed; and Portugal has only re-
Gently quoted. Everywhere the is
sue is the headship Of the govern
ment. In the United States there
is no war, nor any rumor of war, al
though it is known for a certainty
that the chief magistery of the ma
ton is in doubtful issue.
"The President of the United
States is the foremost ruler of the
world. He is not a ruler by acct

and then willingly and fully acqui-

This Is the first paragraph in that
remarkable book, THE American
Government" by Frederic j. Haskin,
which affords the man in the street
the only means of knowing exactly
what concrete issues are involved
in this great electoral contest.
Its value Is all the more marked
in that 1t Is absolutely free from
partisanry and tells only the plain,
authenticated facts about the gov
eminent, a knowledge of which every
voter should have before he casts
his ballot.
This book is being distributed by
