Typhoid Carriers.
If you will remember, I told you
last Sunday that some patients re-
cover from typhoid fever and then
continue to throw off typhoid bacil1i
In both feces and urine for months and
some times years. Such persons are
spoken of rs carriers, and I cited the
case Of little girl IS years Of age who
had been the direct cause of 45 cases
of typhoid fever in an orphanage in
81. Louis. Her last attack (5he had
had three) occurred eighteen months
prior to the time of the outbreak.
Now we have reports to show that
not only will typhoid vaccination pre-
vent typhoid, but that, given to these
carriers, it materially helps them to
throw off their typhoid germs, Meakn
reporting two positive cures in cases
of long duration When you take into
consideration the fact that some per-
sons remain carriers for many years
Gan article appeared in the Journal OF
the American Medical Association Jan,
6, 1912. entitled "A Typhoid Bacillus
Carrier of As Years Standing, and
large outbreak of milk borne typhoid
fever traced to this source") you can
readily understand how many persons
these carriers can infect and how
necessary it is to rid them as quickly
as possible of their infection.
There is no argument that I could
make for typhoid vaccination stronger
than the facts and figures I have lust
given you. In fact, no argument is

you to decide. If you will weigh tn.

The City Must Help.

In speaking of the opening OF Wof-
ford College President Snyder in an
article to the people Of spartanburg
made the following appeal to them
on behalf of the young men who at
tend the college:
tsIn few days the trains will be
bringing in a thronging, eager group
Of raw material, hundreds Of them
from this and other states. The
most of them will spend from four
to six years in Spartanburg. They
will be a considerable commercial
asset, bringing with them and spend
ing annually nearly s100,000-no
small dividend in the way of money.
But what they are, they also bring
with them their eager, unspoiled, un-
wasted, hopeful youth, and thus con-
tribute a current Of inspiring life, the
future manhood Of the State, in
which any community might be inter-
ested and for which it ought to feel
a high degree of responsibility. They
will receive but a part of their edu-
cation in the lecture rooms and on
the campus of the college Of the COL
.ege. The people Of Spartanburg,
the streets, the hotels, the theatres,
places of resort of one kind or an
other-these, too, will contribute at
least part of their training, or mis-
training, while they are with US. 1t
is a perfectly fair question for those
of US who are directly responsible for
the welfare Of these boys to ask that
the community also and the civic
authorities share ID this responsible
ity. For the time being these STU
dents are our wards, and to expose
them knowingly to the unrestricted
poolroom, the lawless social club, the
indecent show, the winked-at gam
bling den, and the debasihg brothel,
is to be inhumanly unworthy of our
civic responsibility. The city author
tiles must simply join friendly and in
telligent hands with the college au-
thorities to give these out-of-town
boys as we'll as our own boys fair
chance to develop in reasonably
clean moral atmosphere. 1t can be
done if we really want to do it, and
if we do not want to do It. we are
either ignorant or have singularly
blurred sense of responsibility"
These wise words apply to every
community in South Carolina which
has boys and young men in it, wheth-
er they are students or not. We
commend the INTO our people and our
city authorities.

DID HE MURDER HER TOO?
Father Schmidt Suspected Of Murder
ing Alma Kellner.

With a view to clearing the mys-
terry surrounding the murder Of eight
-year-old Alma Kellner, whose mutt
lated body was found in quick lime in
the basement of St. Johns Catholic
church in Louisville, KY, two and
one-half years ago, the New York
police Monday sought to obtain from
Father Schmidt, the Catholic priest
who confessed to the murder Of a
young woman in New York Sunday
night, some statement Of what he
might know of this crime.
From August, 1909, till March,
1910, Father Schmidt was visitor
in Louisville, not officially connected
with any church there, but guest in
the home Of Father Henry B. Wester-
mann, rector of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception. Alma Kell-
ner disappeared on Devember g.
1909.
Her body was found nine months
after. Joseph Vending, janitor at
St. Johns church, is now serving a
life term in prison at Frankfort, KY,
for the crime. Vending stoutly de-
MED his guilt and the jury did not
consider the evidence sufficient to
lodge against him a verdict OF first
degree murder.

Not an Agnostic Now.

How many of our readers remem-
Der that William Watson wrote a re-
ply in verse to Rudyard Kipling's
"RecessionaP', and published it? asks
The Hartford Courant. The Courant
goes on to say that it was longer than
the Kipling hymn, and of a bleak
agnosticism. 1t made the Lord GOD
of Hosts" a wholly imaginary being;
a gloomy people"-the Hebrews
thought they knew Him, but they
we're self-deceived. AS for the belleV-
ers of the present day, they were told
by William Watson that History
LAUGHS and weeps them down."
August 2, this year, was William
Watson's ffty-ffth birthday. John
Milton was not half that age when he
wrote a birthday sonnet that will last
as long as the English language lasts.
William Watson has written a birth
day sonnet, and The Independent has
published it. "For three things give
I thanks this August morn," he says.
The first is his wife, the second IS his
daughter, the third is his recovery
from agnosticism. Here's the end OF
the birthday sonnet:
deep thanks. that have now at last
regained
That faith in God which I did lose so
long;
The God who oft-times with bewild-
ering gloom
Muffled His beams; who darksomely
sustained e.
And guided when I knew not and
from whom
I had at birth the heavenly dover Of
song"
The Courtant says one would like
to know whether any letters have
passed between Watson and the au
thor Of tho "Recessional' since this
conversion occurred. 1t would also
be interesting to know just how and
when Watson was brought to eight.
What made him change his views,
and what made him see the truth so
late in life? He ought to tell us, as
it would not only be very interesting,
but might lead many others from the
darkness of death 10 the light Of life
eternal.

Congratulations for Spartanburg.

The voters Of the city of Spartan
burg Monday elected John F. Floyd
as their mayor for the next four
years. He was elected on platform
that calls for the strictest enforce
ment Of all of the laws. He repeat
edly pledged himself during the cam
paign to better conditions in the city
and made plea after plea to the vot-
ers that they give him the opportuni-
ty to wipe out the blind tigers, illegai'
houses, gambling dens, etc. The peo-
pie have taken him at his word and
he is to have the opportunity. The
Greenville Piedmont says:
"The result of the election augurs
well for Spartanburg. While the
man whom we thought ought to have
been given the opportunity as mayor
to clean out the town was eliminated
in the first primary, we believe Mr..
Floyd to be a man of his word and
expect under him to see conditions
greatly improved in our neighboring
city. Most certainly there is room
for improvement if the charges that
have been made during the campaign
and the reports that have been in cir
culation among the people Of the
state for many months are correct.
at has been alleged that scarlet
women may be found in the very
heart Of the city. Blind tigers are
said to flourish. Gambling dens are
said to abound. There is lawless
atmosphere in the city. 1t is sur
prising that the people OF the city of
Spartanburg, a city that has in past
years been looked upon as one of the
centers of culture of the state. should
have stood for this sort of thing. 1t
is a wonder that they have not arisen
in their might and demanded that
the authorities clean out the city"
The Piedmont rightly says "every
good citizen Of Spartanburg should
now uphold the hands of Mayor
Floyd in his efforts to wipe out law
lessness. It should not be expected
that Mr.. Floyd can accomplish every
thing alone. He must have the sup
port Of an active community senti-
ment. Blind tigers know where
things are healthy for them and
where they are not" The Piedmont
goes on to say that "Greenville con-
graduates the people of Spartanburg
on their decision to wipe out lawless-
ness. We have tried living in "clos-
ed" town over here and have found
it the most desirable town in which
to live"

FIGHT FOR BIG OFFICE
THURMOND OR WESTON WILL
LAND THE JOB SOON.
Report of Feeling Over the District
Attorneyship Between the Senators
is Exaggerated.

The Columbia Record says the con-
test for the district attorneyship OF
South Carolina has narrowed down
to two persons and either Francis H.
Weston of Columbia or J. William
Thurmond of Edgefeld will land the
plum as the following letter from
Senator Tillman to prominent citi-
zen of Columbia would Indicate:
Senator Smith and have an un-
derstanding to this effect: He has
endorsed Weston and I have endorsed
Thurmond. Whichever of these two
names the president sends to the Sen
ate we will confirm, but we will con-
firm nobody else. Therefore, there is
no possibility Of a dark horse.
'B. R. Tillman."
When shown copy Of the above
letter Monday morning, Senator Wes-
ton said the letter purporting to come
from Senator Tillman was in accord
ance with the situation as he under
stands it at Washington, having
stopped in the capital on his return
from meeting Of the American Bar
association at Montreal. He is Of the
opinion that there has been great
deal Of exaggeration in regard to the
tense feeling said to exist between
Senators Smith and Tillman over the
matter and each senator is merely
trying to do service for a friend.
Mr.. Weston said he called on Sena-
tor Tillman while in Washington and
was received most cordially, while
Mr.. Thurmond called on Senator
Smith and likewise received a most
cordial reception. Mr.. Weston is sure
that neither senator has any personal
feeling against the candidates them
selves and are pushing their respec-
tive candidates purely through ties Of
friendship. Senator Tillman is sup
porting his friend and neighbor and
Senator Smith is trying to land this
job for one of his personal friends.
AS the above letter would indicate
there is no chance for dark horse,
and the matter will soon be settled by
the president naming his choice.

GLOW WORM GOWN SHOWN.
Girl Wears Clothes Agleam With
Phosphorus.

A dispatch to The New York World
from Carlisle, Pa, says: A gown Of
fimsy material, which evidently had
been treated to phosphorus wash,
worn by Miss Beresford, caused much
excitement on Main street.
The gorn was diaphanous and had
glow that gave an etheral appear
ance to the young woman as she trip
ped boldly around the principal
streets accompanied by a stalwart
escort.
A mob followed her. Churchgoers
paused on their way to evening SER
vices, and many Of them Joined the
throng. A motorman and conductor
abandoned their car and followed, as
did the passengers.
The glow-worm gown lighted Miss
Beresford's graceful form, and the
crowd, silent, but watchful, pressed
closer. Two policemen tried to turn
TIE spectators, but were brushed
aside.

Before It Is Too Late.

If you have a gray-haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day.
Don't wait until her tired steps
Reach heavens pearly gate,
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
If you've tender message,
Or loving word to say,
Don't wait until you forget it,
But whisper it to-day.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait,
So make the loved one happy
Before it is too late.
We live best in the present,
The future is unknown;
Tomorrow is mystery.
To-day is all our own.
The chance that fortune lends US
Nav vanish while We wait.
So spend life's richest treasures
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long forgotten message.
The wealth of love unsent.
John Stevens.

Will Have to Find New Jobs.

Many scions of royal families were
present at the wedding of former
King Manuel of Portugal and the
Princess Augustine Victoria OF Hoen-
zollern. That was natural for though
Manuel has no throne royalty, OF
course, sympathizes with him and
doubtless would be delighted to see
him regain his crown. The groom
was hailed as a king and the bride
as a queen, but it was hollow mock
cry, as neither of them has a king
dom over which to rule. There were
other princelets and princesslets
present who have no prospective
Kingdoms over which they expect to
rule.
It is not likely that the wedding
and the presence at it Of so many
princes and grand dukes has disturb
ed the Portuguese government to any
appreciable extent. The republic in
Portugal may not be the most secure,
but in spite ct several attempts to
overthrow it and a systematic course
of misrepresentation by the support
ers of Manuel, it has managed to sue
cessfully defeat those attempts and
retain power. Certainly we on this
side of the water wit, our success
full experience as republic can not
but wish we'll for the republic in Por-
tugal.
Since the establishment Of the
French republic on the ruins Of the
French Empire after the Franco
Prussian war in the seventies, the
progress of Democracy in the world
has been steady and sure. Brazil
followed France. Don Pedro had the
good sense to step down and out with
out making any fuss. Later, the
mother country, Portugal. gave King
Manuel ar indefinite leave Of absence
and took over her own affairs. Even
China proclaimed republic, and so
the march of Democracy goes on. In
time all the kings will be out of jobs.

FELONS WORK ON ROADS
MLIONoIs PUTS FORTY-FIVE ON
THEIR HONOR.
Joliet Prisoners Appreciate Their
New Liberty and Pitch Into Work
With Enthusiasm.

Forty-fve picked prisoners from
the state prison at Joliet, ILL.,, are
working on the state road near Dixon
and living in a camp on the bank Of
the Rock river. For five or six
months they will enjoy all the liber-
ties afforded working road gangs Of
free men. There is not a happier
company Of working men, perhaps,
to be found in the whole country. To
protect themselves and to insure that
the road building experiment shall be
a success, the group has named one
of their number as judge to try all
cases that may arise in the gang and
another as a detective to report in
case any member OF the gang seeks to
away.
The road gang is composed of mur-
derers, forgers, "Black Hand" ope-
rators, hold-up men, pug-uglies, plain
thieves, extraordinary thieves and
burglars-all long term men. They
are eager to make good" so that the
men under sentence for short terms
may also have the benefit of life and
work in the sunshine.
The group Of convicts was taken
from Joliet prison while 1t was still
dark and, being under no special
guard, some prisoners might easily
have sneaked away. But every man
has sworn that he will pursue and
deal harshly with any convict who
seeks to bring the prison into dis
repute.
Once at Camp Hope the men set
up tents, prepared kitchen, graded
main road through the camp and
constructed barbed wire fence. This
precaution was taken more to keep
bootleggers and gamblers out OF the
camp than to keep the men in. Here
after admission to the camp will be
by card only.
This week the men began work on
state roads, their first task being to
cut through a high hill. They re-
gard the work as sort Of summer
vacation and appear to be very en-
thusiastic in their efforts to make
good as workmen.
During their spare time they fish,
swim and play ball. Many Of the
men in the camp had not seen the
light Of the sun in twenty years.

Decoy Letter Resulted in Arrest Of
Ohio Towns Social Leader-Attor-
ney Hints at Plot.
Mrs. Margaret A. Carter, wife Of
retired tobacco manufacturer, of
Elyria, o., and a we'll known society
woman at that town, is under arrest,
charged with blackmail, District At
torney Album, of Cleveland, calls the
scheme the "wickedest and largest
blackmailing plot ever heard Of.
Not only is the woman charged
with seeking, by threatening letters,
to obtain $4,000 from Miss Lillian
Huntington, heiress, but Album says
other epistles were sent to prominent
and wealthy persons in Elyria, Cleve-
land and towns in northern Ohio.
These letters, it is charged, revealed
intimacy with the private affairs of
the persons threatened.
Miss Huntington is not yet twenty
and beautiful. She has inherited a
large fortune from her grandfather,
John Huntington, one of the old-time
Standard Oil magnates, and Sec
ond fortune came to her through the
will Of her uncle, William Marsh
Rice, who was killed in New York by
his valet and Albert T. Patrick, a
New York lawyer.
When only sixtee nand school
girl at the fashionable Briatcliff
school near New York, she was taken
by her mother on trip to Asheville,
N. c., and there met Dwight Dawley,
son of wealthy furniture manufac-
turer of Wheeling, W. Va. They
eloped and were married. But, with
the consent of the young peoples
parents, they separated and a divorce
was secured after year.
Recently there have been rumors
that Miss Huntington was to marry
a prominent young Cleveland club
man. It was on these rumors that
the blackmailing letter came, signed
"Miss Rose. The writer stated that
the clubman had promised to marry
her, and that unless Miss Huntington
sent the writer $4,000 scandal
would follow. The young woman
consulted her lawyers and postal au'
thorities we're set at work. A decoy
letter resulted in the arrest Of Mrs.
Carter.

WITHDRAWS ENDORSEMENT.
Tillman Takes His Support From
Sims for Marshal.

Senator Tillman, according to a
Washington dispatch to The News
and Courier on Saturday, has notified
the department Of Justice that his Of
fetal endorsement Of J. L. Sims, of
Orangeburg, as a candidate to sue
ceed J. Duncan Adams as United
States marshall for SCUM Carolina,
has been withdrawn. This informa-
tion was given by the senior Senator
in response to a question from The
News and Courier's correspondent
who has observed the activity Of
friends Of Ex-Sherif Buford, Of New
berry County, and asked Senator
Tillman If there was any possibility
Of his withdrawing the Sims endorse
ment. In explanation Of his course,
Senator Tillman remarked that some
people had been saying that Re was
trying to hog both Offices, that is, the
district attorneyship and the marshall
ship and he felt constrained to take
this action to clarity the situation.
Senator Smith, who had not actual
ly endorsed Mr.. Sims, but had agreed
to acquisce in his nomination, was
promptly asked what position he
would take with regard to the mar
shalship in view Of Senator Tillman's
latest move. The junior Senator re-
piled that he had nothing whatever
TO say for publication.
The indications are that Senator
Tillman is concentrating all his
forces behind the Thurmond candi-
dacy for district attorney, recogniZ-
ing the fact that during the past few
days Weston has gained ground near-
lily. Whether the last move Of the
senior Senator will resu:. in an un-
derstanding between .4tni and his COL
league or only deepen the cleavage
between them remains to be seen.
