Some Advertising This.

One of the most novel and unique
advertising schemes ever seen in this
city is with the Krause Greater
shows and is placed there by one Of
the biggest firms in the county. It is
an original idea to increase the sales
of Spearmint gum, as everybody
knows the original Spearmint gum
sells at ) cts per package. All over
the land, except if you buy it by the
box, then it sells at from 80 to so
cts for box of 20 packages.
The advertising department of this
company mas adopted an original idea
of Mr.. Chas. A. Washburn who is
connected with this department,
whereby eacn person upon the pay
ment of 5 cts is entitled to receive any
where from not less than one pack
age and up to box of twenty for each
5 cts they spend The idea was first
placed before the public at the Pee
Dee fair in Florence six weeks ago,
and it tooh the public by storm.
Over 10000 packages was disposed
of in 6 days. Darlington, Benefits
Vile, Bis1opville, Aiken and Augusta
Ca, in order mentioned was next Wis
tied by agent of this company, and
thousands and thousands Of packages
of gum was given away by Digesto Co.,

ClIlZkNS RECALL
ORANGEBURG MAYOR
GOV. BLEASE ORDERS AN ELEC-
TION FOR DECEMBER 30.
First Time the Recall Has Been IN
yOked in South Caro-
lima.

Columbia, December 13.-Mayor R..
F. Bryant and Councilman Henry Won
Olsen. of the city Of Orangebnrg, have
been recalled" by a petition signed
by 100 citizens OF Orangeburg filed
this morning in the office Of Governor
Blease. The governor under tne
commission form government act, has
ordered that an election for success
sors to Mayor Byrant and Councilman
Won Ohsen be held in Orangeburg on
Tuesday, December 80.
The commission form Of government
under which Orangeburg is governed
provides that on petition of 20 per
cent OF the qualified voters at the last
election any official may be recalled
and the governor is empowered, when
such petition is filed. to order an
election to fill the places Of tne recall
ed officers. The allegations made by
the petitioners against Mayor Bryant
and Councilman Won Ohsen are two:
That they are temperamentally dis
qualified to fill tne duties OF heir Of
fees and that they continued police
man in Office over the protests of citi-
zens alleging brutality and indiscre
ton against the policeman.
First Use OF Recali.
There Wee 469 votes cast lor mayor
in the election at which Mayor Bryant
was chosen and the petition is signed
by 100 qualified voters, as set forth in
an affidavit from John F. Blanche,
clerk of the election board of mana
gers. The election on December so
will be conducted by the managers
and under the laws as other elections.
AS far as known this is the first time
the recall mas been invoked in South
Carolina in any municipality. Colum-
bia, Spartanburg, Orangeburg, Sum-
ter, Florence are cities in which the
commission form of government has
replaced the old aIdermanic method,
and Orangeburg like the others, has
the initiative, the referendum and the
recall in its charter.
Mayor Bryant and Councilman Won
Olsen nave only been in Office a few
months, the commission plan being
adopted at an election held only a
few months ago.
Because of its being the first time
theS recall has been invoked in the
State the result of the Orangeburg
election will be watched with great
interest.

TILLMAN PLANS TO TAKE
STUMP AGAINST BLEASE
Such Is Report in South Carolina
Wish He Would, Says Blease.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 13.-Senator
B. R. Tillman is intensely interested in
political news in South Carolina and
close friends of his admit that he is
going to use herculean efforts next
summer to try and defeat Governor
Cole L. Blease in his race against
Senator E. D. Smith. The senior
senator is writing letters to his
friends all over South Carolina and
is daily getting reports from every
county, so those who have seen him
in Washington say.
1t, is the general understanding that
Senator Tillman plans to make several
speeches next simmer against Gov
ernor Blease and if he takes the
stump he will become the central
figure in the most intensely interest
ing political drama ever enacted in
South Carolina. Governor Blease
says that he hopes Senator Tillman
will take the stump against him. He
saws that he will meet him wherever
Till.nan may indicate and he pro-
poses to tell the people Of South
Carolina what he thinks Of Senator
Tillman and his opinion of him.
Governor Blease says that the senior
senator is an migrate" He says that
Tillman is under the influence of his
former enemies and is really not the
Tillman he was before he suffered the
stroke of paralysis. He says Senator
>TiIlman has lost his hold with the peo-
pie and is dead" politically.
Friends of Senator Tillman insist
that ne is still the same magnetic and
invincible leader of old and that if he
could get on the stump and talk to the
people that he could beat Blease or
ANYBODY else. They refuse to admit
that he has lost the affections of the
wool hat and one-gallus boys, which
were tne flower Of his strength In the
nineties when ne came out of Edge
field, a rugged farmer, overturned the
old political ring and went into the
office of governor at the head of a
wave which captured every State Of
flee, the legislature, the judiciary and
almost every county Office.
1t is stated from close friends OF
Senator Tillman that he proposes to
use his utmost endeavors and to do
his all to beat Governor Blease and
keep him out of the United States
senate. They say mis- health is steadi-
ly improving and that he is almost
again as strong and vigorous as he
was before he suffered his first
stroke of paralysis.
Senator Tillman has already come
out in favor of the reelection OF
United States Senator E. D. Smith and
has urged former Senator John L. Nc
Laurin to take the stump and help beat
Governor BIease

ST. LOUIS, July u.-When S. BleWet'

he was the second vaulter in history to
make that height the first having been
Marc Wright, of Dartmouth. who was
third Saturday, and who made l3 feet
IZ inches. the worlds record, in the
Eastern intercollegiate meet Of 1872.
WAGNER now holds the a. A. L. record,
having busted the old mark of II feet 6
inches with his great leap of Saturday.
'Tis peculiar in regard to Wagner s
case that his uncle. Walter Dray, who
also was captain of the Yale team as a
senior, was the first pole vaulter In the
world TO do u feet, and he held the
record for years. In no other depart
ment of athletics has there been such

height. On his second vault he Just

placed at - feet inches Wagner
would have made II and would have

Wagoner's ability to vault is due sole

Hero of Worlds Series
In 1906, Is Sent Back

In 1906 George Robe was a youngster
breaking into big league baseball via
the White Sox. That fall he became a
national character by filling in at third
base against the Cubs in the worlds
series and delivering the timely triples
which brought the championship to
Fielder Jones American League club.
And today Robe Is a veteran, down
and out as player. and glad to
land a managerial berth in the bushiest
kind of a bush league.
The cotton-topped infielder had the
nerve to deliver in the pinch, but he
never really possessed the speed or the
mechanical ability to make good in
the majors. He knocked about in the
Southern for a few years, but finally
he slowed up too much for the Kava-
naugh organization, and now has sign
ed to manage the Newman, Ca, club
in the Georgia-Alabama League.
