Watson to be Tried.

Thomas E. Watson, editor and au-
thor, nominee of the Populist party
for the Presidency of the United
States in 1904, will be tried in the
United States district court at Au-
gusta, Ca, during the week begin
ming October 20, on charge of send
ing obscene matter through the
mails. The charges against Watson
resulted from the publication of ar
ticles in two of his magazines de-
nouncing the Roman Catholic
church. In one of these articles he
referred to the church beliefs as
"the most profligate of pagan reli-
gion.' The articles were published
in Watson's Jeffersonian of the July
1911 issue and in Watson's Maga-
zine of the issues of April and May,
1912. Their caption was "The Ro-
mar Catholic Hierarchy" 1.-The
Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties
and Our Civilization. THE editor was
indicted by the Federal grand jury
at Augusta, November 10, 1912. In
the indictment the alleged objection
able words in the articles were omit
ted. The Indictment stated that they
were omitted because they were so
"obscene as to be offensive to the
court if set forth and improper to
be spread upon the records of the
court" Watson appeared as his own
counsel at the preliminary hearing.
In defense of the articles he claimed
that they could be no more objection
able that certain passages of the
Bible. If he were guilty of the
charge, he claimed, it would be a
violation of the Federal laws to send
a Bible through the United States
mails. Counsel for the government
and the defense have agreed to be-
gin the proceedings Immediately
after the opening of the Federal
court term October 20. This agree
ment, it is understood, has been ap-
proved by Judge Rufus E. Foster
of the eastern district of Louisiana,
who will hear the case. Judge Foster
was designated to preside at the trial
in the place of Judge Emory Speer,
the latter having expressed a dis
inclination to serve while impeach-
ment proceedings are pending
against him.

This newspaper has heretofore ex-
pressed itself in regard to the matter
of free advertising for the State Fair,
and just as We felt like saying some
thing about it again, strong edito-
rial on the subject in the Yorkville
Enquirer came to our notice. We
have not carried either the news
notices OF the display advertising
for the Fair in number of years,
and We feel that every newspaper
should get pay for the advertising
or keep it out of their colu1ns. OF
course there is much to be said in
favor Of a creditable State Fair, but
as We see it, there is no good reason
why the weekly and semi-weekly
newspapers should contribute hum
dreds of dollars in advertising to
such an institution.

Gov. Again Writes Capt. Hayden
Governor.

October IL, 1913.
y. n. Hayden, Esq.
Supervisor.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of October 4, in ref
erence to John J. Jones, was received
and referred to the superintendent
of the penitentiary. He has this day
presented to me the original wage
contract, bearing date the second day
of June, 1918, signed by yourself,
NJ. C. Edwins and T. ]. Bolen, as
supervisors of Orangeburg county.
l would advise you Immediately to
read over that contract and carry
out it's provisions, if you do not want
to be placed in a position to receive
a great deal of trouble.
l am surprised at your saying you
know nothing about it, and then
finding the original contract here
with your name on it.
Copies of my letter and yours will
be mailed to the Orangeburg paper,
with the request that they be pub
lished, in order that it may be shown
that / am not to blame for the way
Jones is being treated.
Very respectfully,
COLE L. BLEASE,
Governor.

Boiler Explosion Does Damage.

Hampton, Oct. 10.-At 11:25
o'clock this morning a large 100
Horsepower boiler at the plant opera
ted by Lightsey Bros, at Miley, To-
Gated seven miles from Hampton,
exploded, completely wrecking the
plant, part of the boiler that explod-
ed being found a quarter of mile
away. A negro, hauling trash some
distance away, was killed instantly,
while several others, including whites
and negroes, were injured.
An automobile was sent from the
scene of the explosion to take Mag
istrate J. G.. Murdaugh of this place
to hold the inquest over the dead
negro.
One from the scene says that it is
one of indescribable confusion and he
having left as soon as possible after
the explosion for physicians, magis-
trate and others, it was impossible
for him to give the full details, but
he says that the immense plant, in
cluding mill shed, planning mill, dry
kilns, lath and shingle mill, as well
as three other boilers, were complete
ly destroyey or blown away, and it
will be impossible to estimate the loss
at this time.
Numerous sightseeing parties
have started for the scene, and a
fuller description of the same may be
received.

The South will never be a really
great and prosperous section of the
country until We raise cattle and hogs
and grain sufficient to supply the
needs of the people of the South.
There IS no money in twelve Or even
fifteen cents cotton if one has to buy
grain and meat at correspondingly
high prices. Right now the price of
cotton is high, but meat is much high
er in proportion, SO the farmer who
does not raise enough for home con-
sumption is no better off than when
cotton was eight cents but meat and
hay and grain and live stock were
cheaper.
