Gave Him the Swell Head.

Senator John L. McLaurin, in his
first of a series Of letters to The Co.
lumbia Record, makes the honest
confession that at the time he was
spouting his Commercial Democra-
cyl ideas, he was made so much Of
that he " did get the 'swelled head
which caused all the trouble that
came to him afterwards. 81 was too
fond of praise and flattery, 100 young
and inexperienced to know how tickle
is popular applause" frankly admits
the Ex-senator. In commenting on
his confession the Lancaster News
says "the Marlboro statesman is now
an older and should be wiser man. II
he does yield again to that subtle in
fluence, popular applause" and en-
ter the race for governor, it will show
that the swelling in his head has not
gone down. Better remain on your
farm, Senator McLaurin, than to ven
ture again on the treacherous sea OF
South Carolina politics" Ex-senator
McLaurin would do we'll to heed the
wise advice given him by the News,
but the chances are that he is being
made so much of again by certain
politicians, who only want to use him
for their own purposes, that he has
forgotten chow tickle is popular ap-
plause," and will again venture on
the treacherous sea of South Carolina
politics" to his undoing. Experience
is a dear school, but some people for
get it's teaching.

"He Is Got EN- Beat"

The Light, weekly paper publish
ed in Columbia by colored people says
under the above caption: governor
Blease says he is going to the Senate,
and we hope he will. We make our
little request in advance, Governor.
When you get on your toga, don't get
in the Tillman and Vardaman class to
cuss and oppress the Negro at every
opportunity. Let your statesmanshlp
soar higher than Negrophobia. Be
national in idea, and human in soul,
Governor. Get above abusing and be-
rating the Negro That has been Till
mans littleness." The colored peo-
pie seem to believe in Governor
Blease. They want him to beat Sem
ator Smith, no doubt, because the
Governor abuses and has no interest
in President Wilson or the Democrat
ic Administration. 1t is a good thing
that the colored people can't vote in
the Democratic primaries. If they
could they would give Governor
Blease such e large vote that Senator
Smith would not be in the race at all.
Governor Rlease has surely worked
his rabbit foot on the colored broth

Freeing the Banana.

Only by the necessity OF raising
revenue could tariff duty on banan-
as be explained, and the amount OF
revenue collected would have been
small. In the circumstances, how
ever, the removal of the duty in the
pending bill is justified because OF
the malicious efforts made in many
quarters to misrepresent the whole
business. Whether the trifling tax
would have really increased the price
of bananas to consumers is doubtful.
So little was to be gained in the form
of duties to the Government that the
experiment was not worth the risk.
The New York World says among all
articles of food, sugar is the Ideal
revenue, producer, but in keeping
with their pledges to untaX the ne
cessaries of life the Democrats have
placed it on the free list. Having
done that at the cost of sacrificing so
much revenue, it would have been OBJ
yiously inconsistent and altogether
incxpedient to select for taxation Tor
the first time an article Of food that
enters so largely into general con-
sumption among the poor as does the
banana.

INVITATION TO WILSON.
Columbia Offers Boyhood Home as
Winter Residence.

Mayor ". H. Gibbs, of Colum bia,
former Governor D. c. Hayward and
Messrs. Christie Benet and James A.
Hoyt Monday extended to President
Wilson, at the White House renew
ed invitation on behalf of the city OF
Columbia to make his winter home in
the South Carolina capital. The
president was told that the commit
tee had secured for his accommoda-
ton, il he would come, the house on
Hampton street which was designed
by his mother and built by his faith
er, while the latter was member OF
the faculty Of the Columbia Theolo-
gical Seminary and in which the pres
idert himself had lived when boy.
Mr.. Wilson said that il he made his
winter home anywhere else than in
Washington, it would be in Columbia,
but that it looked as if he would
spend the coming winter hard at
work at the White House. He ex-
pressed the hope that he might be
able to accept the invitation after the
next winter. The delegation was pre-
sented to the President by Represent
ative A. F. Lever.

RECALLS CONFESSION.
Wolfsohin Says He Did Not Murder
Anna Schumacher.

Repudiating his statements mace
to the Philadelphia police Friday.
Jacob Wolfsohn Monday denied that
he was guilty of the murder OF Anna
Catherine Schumacher in the ceme-
terry at Rochester, n. Y, four years
ago. When closely questions by Dis
trict Attorney Barrett, Of Rochester,
y. Y, Wolfsohn broke down and said
he had confessed to the murder be-
cause he wanted to die and could not
bring himself to commit suicide. Il
want to take back my confession. 1t
is not true that I killed the girl and
I can prove my innocence, he ex-
claimed, Historically. You can cut
my throat, hang me or do whatever
you care, but I do not want to die
with the record Of a murderer"
"Ny life has been an unhappy
one," continued Wolfsohn. II can
not return to Russia because I left
there to escape military service. My
wife divorced me here. I hoped to
end my troubles by being electrocut-
ed" District Attorney Barrett, be-
fore leaving for Rochester, said he
would make further Investigations
before determining whether he would
ask for requsition for Wolfsohn. He
said: cit has been proved that the
prisoner worked near the cemetery
where the crime was committed, but
his description Of the clothing worn
by the girl does not correspond with
the facts. am not yet satisfied he is
the murderer"

HOT TIME IN TENNESSEE
SPEAKER OF HOUSE SAYS GUN
MEN ARE AROUND.
Members Pull OF Coats to Show
Themselves Unarmed and De-
nounce Others as CowardS.

Sensational charges of the bringing
of two suit cases of guns into the Of
fee of the superintendent of the capi-
tol at Nashville, Tenn, and OF the
presence of gunner in the hail OF the
Tennessee House of Representatives,
were made on the floor of the House
Tuesday by Speaker Stanton. Serious
trouble at one time looked certain
after the speakers charges. Several
infamatory speeches were made. At
the afternoon session Tuesday mo-
ton to investigate the speakers S
charges and to bring George c. Rem
fro, superintendent of the capitol, be-
fore the House was voted down.
Speaker Stanton, after charging
that scurrilous articles had appeared
in newspapers threatening to unseat
him and that threats and EFFORTS OF
intimidation had come to him for the
past several days, said: There are
two suit cases Of guns now in the Of
fee of the superintendent OF the capt.
toI sent there by friends Of Gov.
Hooper, and even this will not intimi-
date or scare me. I am speaker OF
this House and propose to remain so
to the end. I do not propose to be
intimidated by Gov. Hooper or his
gunmen and their efforts to force me
to make rulings will do them no
good"
Representative Mcfarland, follow
ing Mr.. Stanton, after pulling of his
coat to show that he was not armed,
denounced the man who rams down
weapons IN his pocket" and declared
that any man guilty Of such a prac-
tice was "a - coward.
Representative Lex Stone threw back
his coat to show that he was unarm-
ed, turned to Mr.. Mcfarland and
said: "Any man who would call a
set of armed men to guard the door
Of the legislative hall is just as much
a coward as the man re-
ferred to by Mr.. Mcfarland. Why
not send the gunner out and let
honest men have chance?" shouted
Mr.. Stone. He declared that If the
house was to be cleared all armed
thugs should be included and not
Just "those who side with the fusion
lists"
After many speeches, some of, them
conciliatory. the house adjourned
The so-called law enforcement bills
the consideration Of which has
brought feeling to a high tension
among members of the House, proba'
bly, will be carried by the fusionists
On all test votes it was shown that
they probably will have the necessar!
votes to pass the measure.

College Professors in Politics.

The Greenville Piedmont speaks as
follows about the invasion of the po-
litical arena by the college professor:
"The college professor is having his
inning in the political world. FIRST
and foremost is Prof. Woodrow Will
son as president of these United
States; then we have Prof. Colum-
bus Ben Martin, alderman-elect from
ward six, city of Greenville, and now
we have DR.. Coleman B. Waller, pro-
fessor of chemistry of Wofford col
lege, commissioner-elect for the city
of Spartanburg." The SpartanDurg
Herald odds to this list the name
Prof. Jno. G. Clinkscales, of Wofford
college, who proposes to make the
race for governor next year on COM
pulsory education platform, and who,
in addition to being widely acqualnt-
ed from the Piedmont to the sea-
shore is abundantly able to take care
of himself in any sort of controversy
or argument that is likely to arise.
The entry of college professors into
politics will have a good and whole
some influence on them.

BE Careful How You Criticize.

All of US are prone to criticise, says
The Anderson Mail. We are disposed
to criticise the other fellow, the
things he is doing, and his manner OF
doing them. But are we always fair
in our criticisms? Do We always
know what we are talking about? We
believe in the fullest latitude in crit
icism, and especially of public men,
those in public service. Criticism is
not only privilege, but in very many
cases it is duty.
But one OF the cruelest things IN
the world is to be unjust in our crlti-
cisms-to treat the individual whom
we are criticising unfairly. There IS
nothing more heartbreaking, perhaps,
than to be the subject Of unjust critl-
ci.m-to be wrongtully accused-to
be denied credit for what we have
tried to do. And how many OF US
have been guilty Of this?
We see man doing something the
looks of which we do not like. We
think he should not do it, or that he
should do it in a different way. Forth
with we proceed to pull him down, to
heap our condemnation upon him. We
do this on first impression, without
Investigating the matter. Sometimes
it is given US to find that we have
been in the wrong, that our criticism
has been unjustifed, and fortunate
indeed are we if it is not then too late
to make amends, to repair the wrong
that, unthinkingly, We have done.
How careful we should be, and yet
how careless we are. We get an in
complete statement Of case, we do
not understand all the facts and cir
cumstances, and then without fuller
investigation we proceed to render
our judgments. II we could put our
selves In the other fellows place, II
we could get his viewpoint, and know
his motives, we would probably praise
instead OF condemn.
We complain about not getting the
best men for the public service. Per-
haps an explanation may be that
many men do not want to be subject
ed to wrongful and unjust criticism.
If we could build up sentiment that
would insure fairer campaign meth
DDS. that would give public servants
Just treatment when they come before
the people to explain their steward
ship, we might get better men to Of
fer for the public service.

Senator Tillman's Position.

Tie Pee Dee Daily, published al
B. anettsville, the home OF Mr.. Drake,
a candidate for marshal, says: 1T
now appears that James L. Sims may
lose the appointment as United
States marshal for South Carolina
because he once, in his youth, set
type for Republican paper at Kings
tree. Senator T;llman probably
withdrew his nomination for that
reason"
In stating that Senator Tillman
withdrew his official endorsement Of
the editor of The Times and Demo
crat for marshal because Of certain
lying charges preferred against him
by certain men, the editor OF The
Pee Dee Daily does Senator Tillman
and the editor Of The Times and
Democrat a great injustice. Sena-
tor Tillman gave as his reason for
withdrawing his official endorsement
from the editor Of The Times and
Democrat that Senator Smith had
accused him OF trying to "hog"
both the District Attorney and the
marshal, and he wanted to clarity
the matter. The above facts were
published in The News and Courier.
Besides, Senator Tillman wrote
he editor Of The Times and Democrat
that he knew that the charges made
against him was a lie as soon as he
heard it. The Senator also wrote the
editor of The Times and Democrat
that he had Withdrawn his official
endorsement for the reasons given
above. but that his feelings towards
the editor of The Times and Demo-
crat had not changed, and that he
would endorse no one else for mar
shall. These are the simple facts in
the case and We publish them as
simple act of justice to Senator Till
man and the editor Of The Times
ond Democrat. Newspapers should
be certain of their facts before pub
fishing such statements as that clip
ped above from The Pee Dee Daily.

INSURANCE HIS MOTIVE
LATEST POLICE THEORY IN
SCHMIDT-MURET CASE.
Inspector Faurot Hears Evidence OF
Doctor Said to Have Received Il
legal Offer Of Deal.

Evidence that Hans Schmidt, the
confessed murderer Of Anna Aumul-
1er, and CDR" Ernest Muret, his dent
ist friend, planned a campaign of
murder for the purpose of collecting
life insurance money reached the
New York police Monday. 1t tended
to explain the blank death certificates
found in Schmidt's room. The evil
dence came from a physician who told
Inspector Faurot Of the detective bu-
reau that Schmidt and Muret, a short
time ago, tried to arrange with him
to issue death certificates in the event
of the Sudden death" of persons just
insured.
"I can not divulge at this time the
identity of the physician" said the
inspector. IF the story told US by
him is true the fact stands out big
and black that Father Schmidt and
Dr.. Muret had a plan whereby they
would collect insurance. I am happy
to state that the physician fatty de-
clined to listen to their proposal.
Inspector Faurot has learned, he
said, that the dentist, at one time in
his life figured as an insurance brok-
er. The inspector said that with the
assistance Of the Chicago police he
was trying to find if there was any
connection between Schmidt and Mu-
ret and Johana Hoch, the "b]ue-
beard" Of Chicago, who was execut-
ed in 1905 for numbering one wife
and accused Of killing several others.
Schmidt was in Chicago in 1905.
Although I may call it nothing but
a rumor, this coincidence" said Fau-
rot, "I consider Of sufficient impor-
tance to warrant a thorough inVesti-
CATION"

THREE DIE IN CAR CRASH.
Electric Railway on Long Island is
Scene Of Head-on Collision.

Scene OF Head-on Collision.
Three persons were killed and
twenty injured early Monday In q
head-on crash Of two Long Island
railroad electric trains at College
Point, Long Island. OF the injured
one will die. The dead are: Conduc-
tor George Borckel, Aotorman Fred
Loder, and Motormao Charles Hob
lien. Most OF the injured were mill
employees on their way to work. The
trains running forty miles an hour,
rounded q curve near the station
from opposite directions and the ac-
cident was unavoidable. The steel
cars buckled, but did not telescope.
This fact doubtless saved many lives.
A hotel near the scene and a num-
Der Of residences nearby were thrown
open for use as emergency hospitals.
Many ambulances and a corps OF ply
sicians were summoned to the scene.
The Pennsylvania railroad issued q
statement saying the accident had
been caused, so far as could be deter
mined, by the negligence Of the oDer-
ator at Whitestone Junction, who al
lowed the train bound for New York
to leave the double track before the
other train had cleared.

WILL GET FAVORABLE REPORT.
Lever Agricultural Extension BIZ
Said to Please.

The House committee on agricul-
ture held a hearing Tuesday on
Chairman Levers agricultural extern
sion bill. as as modified after his re-
cent conferences with Senator Smith,
of Georgia, and agreed almost unani-
mously that it should be reported
favorably to the House the first thing
after ocening Of the December ses-
sion. The committee had the pleas
ure OF having Secretary Houston
present at its sessions for the first
time. He and B. T. Galloway, the
Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture,
both addressed the committee in be-
half OF the Lever bill, and repre-
sentative of the American Federation
of Labor assured the committee that
the measure had the endorsement
of that important organization.

Courtesy Among Senators.

It is pleasing to read Of the cour'
tesies exchanged in the Senate be-
tween the leaders Of the two parties
after the Underwood bill was passed.
The attitude Of both parties toward
each other during the lengthy con-
sideration OF the bill, was indeed COM
mendable. 1t showed that it is pos
sible to discuss. not only without ran
cor, but with positive courtesy and
good breeding, measures which may
exist the most positive convictions.
And why not. Why should differ
ences Of opinion as to a question
cause participants in debate to
abuse each other like pickpockets, or
lessen the personal friendship that
one may entertain for another? Too
often enmities have been aroused in
debates and but little consideration
has been shown the minority by the
majority, but to-day an Improvement
is seen and it is most welcome.
