BLEASE DISREGARDS PRIMARY.
Won't Appoint Nominee For Au-
ditor of Georgetown.

Georgetown, April 17:-There are
some heartburnings in this county
because of the fact that Governor
Blease hes failed to commission some
of the men, who, in the primary last
August, won the election and were
declared the nominees by the county
executive committee, but the incum-
bents of the offices at the time are
still holding over, in the absence of
the appointment of their successors.
Mr. T s Mcconnell opposed Mr. J A
Hemingway for county Treasurer.
The face of the returns gave Nh Hem
ingway 196 votes as against ia for
Mr. Mcconnell. Mr. Mcdonnell enter
ed protest alleging fraud at one of
the country boxes, and after heat
ed contest the executive committee
threw out the box in question, CIV
ing the contestant, Mr. Mcconnell, a
majority, and declared him the sue
cessful candidate. His commission
has not yet been received.
Mr. w J Bruorton ran against
County Auditor H C Tallevast and ir
the primary defeated him by vote
of 799 to 761. There was no contest
in this case. Mr. Bruorton has been
patiently awaiting the receipt of his
commission in order that he might
enter upon the duties Of the office.
Long patience bringing no reward,
Mr. Bruorton addressed an inquiry to
Governor Blease, asking him the di-
rect question as to when he might
expect the appointment, to which
the following was the reply:
State of South Carolina
Executive Chamber
Columbia, S C, April l, 1913.
MrWJ Bruorton, Georgetown, S c.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
of March 81, Governor Blease directs
me to say that, according to his in
formation, the present Auditor at
Georgetown is making a very good
officer and the Governor sees no rea-
son to make a change.
Respectfully,
JNo K AULL,
Private Secretary.
Mr. Bruorton feels very much ag-
grieved at the action of the Govern
or in this matter. He has made pub
lie the upshot of the matter only
within the past few days.

farmers who have been in Conway in

to lie shedding badly, and many of

$4,000 CLOCK is
], GIVEN TO TUSKEGEE

Tuskgee, Ala March 16.-Book-
4 Z Washington, principal, is
happy over the donation of a ten
thousand dollar tower clock which
marks the completion of the White
Memorial building, one of the
girls dormitories of his famous
school for Negroes.
The work on the tower and the
setting of the mammoth clock
with Westminster chimes and a
large bell to strike the hours and
call students from "labor to re-
freshment," has just been com
pleted. The additional donation
was made to the school by the DON
ers of the magnificent structure
which cost $4,000.
The clock tower on White Me-
mortal Hall rises forty feet above
the roof, being located at the CEN
ter of the building, where the ga
BILE roof of the large porch inter-
sects the main roof. The frame
work is steel, the steele supporting
columns resting on heavy con-
crete pillars in the foundation of
the building. The tower is divid-
ed by a richly moulded cornice in
to two parts. The lower part is
octagonal in shape, four of the
sides being little longer than the
other four sides. The four longer
sides are eight feet eight inches
long. This part of the tower is
twenty-four feet high. The lower
part is pierced with four windows,
one of each of the four sides.
On the same sides as are the
windows are four glass clock dials
five feet in diameter, raised above
the windows. The clock dials are
illuminated by electric lights so as
to be visable at night. The clock
machinery, is located in this part
of the tower supported on two re-
inforced concrete platforms. The
clock winding is done by electric
motors. The tower contains four
bells ranging in weight from 1925
pounds to 80 pounds. The bells
are arranged for the Westminster
Chimes, which strike every quart
er hour in addition to the large
bell, which strikes every hour.

culture is the highest in the world,
is the damned Dutchman, in this
country.
The jew, whose civilization an.
tedates all others, and who gave to
the civilized world their religion,
and gave them the Christ, is moth
ing but a Sheeney here, and your
great Booker Washington, is a

To this naturally you'll say, "Ah
well, the Dago of yesterday is the

absolute free citizenship. When

tyrannical Government, under
whom they continue to starve,
where education is being denied

still hear the crack of the whip.
You still show the mark it left.
You haven't learned yet to stand
erect, yet slowly but surely your
senses are awakening one by one.
The Bugle call of Liberty is al
ready sounding in your eals-it
