SEEING THINGS DIFFERENTLY NOW

WHAT a howl our Democratic friends
used to raise about Teddys big stick.
How Unreasonable was their horror at
his high handed interference" in things
that did not pertain to his executive po-
sition." Permit US to ask them with
what feelings they regard President Will
sons plunging into the thick of Mary
land politics and attempting to dictate
to the Democrats of our State who shall
be their choice as U. S. Senator. May
we also ask how sensitive souls, jealous
for the entire independence of the three
branchs of our Federal government, can
endure the announcement of President
Wilson that he will spend several hours
each day in congressional chambers,
when Congress Is in session, influencing
and directing the course OF legislation
and keeping tab on legislators! Evil
IDENTIFY DR.. Wilson is under the impress
sion that he has been elected, not only
to the Presidency, but to the whole con-
duct of the national government. He is
likely to get that impression knocked
out of him before many moons. The
people of the various States are likely to
resent his attempt to pick their repre-
sentatives for them and the national
legislators will doubtless suggest their
ability to carry on THEIR department
of government without any dctation
from the Chief Executive.
And, once again, while we are about
it, what do Maryland Democrats think of
the Baltimore Suns recent argument
that William l.. Maroury's success at the
Democratic primaries is assured because
his candidacy will have back of it the
support of the President and all the 'in-
f1uence of Federal patronage"
We have heard a good deal from the
Baltimore Sun about the malign influence
of Federal olficeholders and Federal pat
ronage. But that was under Republican
administrations. Under IA Democratic
administration the Sun smiles most
blandly and approvingly on the prospect
of such patronage putting over its can
didate for the Senate. What a differ
ence the spectaces you look through
make in the way you see things.
But then the Sun has a way of seeing
things at curiously different angles, and
just now most any old thing looks good
and right that will help it put through
the candidacy of one William l.. Mar
bury. No wonder! Considering that
Marbury is Marbury and that the Sun is
his chief hacker. it is a case of ANY port
in a storm" We only mean that Charlie
Grasty and Willie Marbury will have
some job trying to put ring in the nose
of the Maryland Democracy, and lead 1t
to the post.

a county fair in our county next year.
It was the writer's pleasure to at
tend the fair in Orangeburg and twas
worth while to examine the exhibits
as offered by the many, from six
years children on up. While it was
good and quite credit to any coun-
ty,. yet Bamberg county right here
at Salem had a hog and some colts
that are much prettier than any we
saw there. The writer is not flinging
mud at the Orangeburg fair, but only
saving this to show how much We
have that we do not exhibit or even
let our neighbors have an opportunity
of seeing, in a public encouragement
way. Then, the Barnwell fair, too,
was said to be good. We did not at
tend that, but is Bamberg county 60
ing to let her mother county and
sister county leave her so far? No,
not when such public spirited men as
Drs. Black and Hair are agitating
the question. The writer did not
attend the circus on the 14th, but if
one little show can cause as many
people to visit Bamberg as went that
day, what could a Bamberg county
fair do? Let all try and see.

BYRNES HAS PLAN.
Provisions of His Bill for Co-Opera.
ton With Federal Government

Washington, December 2.-Repre-
sentative James F. Byrnes to-day in
troduced a bill for cooperation be-
tween the Federal and State Govern
ments in road building. He would
apportion the Federal aid thus: One
third in the proportion which the
area of the State bears to the area
of the United States; one-third in the
proportion which the mileage or rural
delivery and star routes in the State
bears to that of the whole country,
and the remaining one-third in the
proportion which the population of
the State bears to that of the whole
country.
The bill provides that to get Fed
eral aid State must itself appropri-
ate sum greater than that contribut-
ed to it by the Federal Government.
The total appropriation by the Gov
ernment is to be s3,000,0OO the first
year; s6,OOO,O00 the second, and
s12, 100000 each year thereafter.
Mr.. Byrnes believes that South
Carolina and other Southern States
would derive more benefit under this
plan than under the provisions of the
Shackleford bill, and a number of his
colleagues on the committee on roads
agree with him. Senator Gore, chair
man of the Senate committee on ag-
griculture, and Logan W. Page, di-
rector of the public roads division
of the department of agriculture, also
favor a bill drawn on the lines fol-
lowed by Mr.. Byrnes.

TRACKED BY BLOODHOUNDS.
John Austin, Colored, Confronted
With Serious Charge.

Columbia, Dec. John Austin,
negro boy about 16 years, was cap
tured early to-day near Bishopville
under a charge of attempting burg
larry and rape. The crime is alleged
to have been committed last night
at the home of well known farmer,
residing in Calhoun county.
He entered the room where two
young women were sleeping, waking
them. The girls gave the alarm. The
negro jumped from the window.
Bloodhounds were sent from the
penitentiary. The dogs went direct
to the home of Austin. He at first
denied his guilt, but, it is said, later
confessed. A crowd gathered around
the guard house at Bishopville this
morning, but there was no attempt
to lynch.

appealed to the United States Su-
preme court from a'verdict of $780,
600 for the death of Engineer Ben
nett, who was killed when his engine
dashed into a burning trestle near
Alston in August, 1911. The State
Supreme court confirmed the YER
dict of the Circuit court. The chief
ground of the appeal is that the
amount is excessive.
The State Supreme Court request

Court declining to do so, saying he

the proceedings and there were other
circumstances connected with the
case which made him ask to be >ex-
cused. The Court appointed Solici-

Pallbearers Arrested at Funeral.

New York, Dec. 1.-Two chief pail
bearers at a Brooklyn funeral are
under arrest to-day charged with be-
ing crooks and confidence men. They
were arrested while they sat in the
pallbearers' carriage Previously, it
is charged, they swindled Jersey
City insurance man out of $3.50 and
a gold watch by scheme as old as
the gold brick game.
While making collections for an
insurance company, Arthur Schiff,
of Jersey City, was accosted on
Grove street, Jersey City, by dim
inutive Italian, who asked to be di-
rected to the office of prominent
contractor.
"I'm going in that direction" an
swered Schiff. Come along and I'll
show you where it is.''
The Italian went along, on the way
he impaired the information that he
was in possession of trunk full of
Mexican gold coin, which a contrac-
tor had promised to exchange for
American currency. There was $6,-
600 worth of gold, he said.
1t was at this point that another
son of Italy, a tall and burly fel-
low, joined the two and the whole
tale was repeated for his benefit.
"Wen,'' said the newcomer, why
don't you let this gentleman exchange
the money for you at bank? You
can give him $50 for a commission. "
Schiff hastened to agree. So the
golden coins, which, according to
the Italians, were wrapped in ban
danna handkerchief, were handed
ever. But not until Schiff had run
to his house and there gathered to-
as security. Schiff passed over his
as security. Shi1 passed over his
new gold watch, too.
