this charge, because the records prove
it untrue have paroled a great many
people, but my record speaks for it
self, and it speaks in loud and no un-
certain terms. In very rare instances
only in two or three cases-have
the paroles which have granted been
violated. 1t is not the people have
paroled who are committing crimes.
1t is the kind of people who would
never secure executive clemency from
me who are committing these recent
horrible crimes. When it comes to the
issue b b.tween the negro and the white
man, the records will show what has
been my course as to executive clem-
ency. When it is negro against ne
gro. or when it is white man against
white man, or when it is white man
against negro, the record speaks for
itself. When it comes to negro plac-
ing his hands upon white woman, or
upon a white man, or upon the pro-
perty of a white man, the record
speaks for itself.
when are the courts going to awake
to the necessity of pronouncing their
DEGREES speedily upon the people who
commit the kind of crimes which are
now blotting the fair name of this
State, and putting the stamp of their
disapproyal upon appeals upon tech
nicalities which are trifing and fri
volous, and the only object of which
is to delay and, if possible ultimately
to defeat justice? How long will the
le legislature permit it? No man can say
but it can easily be seen that the white
people are getting resti7e and ex-
tremely impatient under these condi-
tions. And when it reaches that point
where summary justice is dealt out,
those who deal it out because of this
outrageous condition of affairs, will
not be nsarly so much to blame as
those who are defeating the ends OF
justice by aiding and countenancing
the delays in the courts.

NEGRO NOT YET CAUGHT.
Search For Richard Henry Austin
Proves Frlitless.-Many Rumors
Aaoat.

HAMPTON. May 1.-TWO nights and
three days of continual search by q
large body of white men for Richard
Henry Austin, the negro who attempt
ed criminal assault on the wife OF a
prominent Hampton farmer and killed
two white men and wounded three
others on Wednesday, have proved
fruitless. Every bay and pond and
negro hut and howell in the Barton
and Luray section mas been searched.
The negro to all appearances has dis
appeared. Many and various Were the
rumors heard here today. Upon being
traced out these rumors were proved
to have no foundation. The first re-
port was that Austin had been cap
tured at Sylvania, Ga, about 20 miles
from the South Carolina end of the
shooting. When Sylvania was COM
municated with by the local CORE
spondent, this report was found to be
groundless. Next the report was that
the negro was at Clio Then at p. m.
today a current rumor was that near
Allendale at a house carefully barrl-
caded the man lay wounded but arm
ed. This last rumor was not verified,
but several men started to Allendale
in an automobile from Estill.
Six negroes, charged with obstruct-
ing a posse of the searchers, have
been lodged in the Hampton Jail to
await trial

a comment upon the action Of the Stu
dents Cooperative association. the
class presidents and officers of the =.
w. C. A., held recently at the College
for Women. condemning the laxity
and lack of dress in present-day styles
for women. Governor Blease said:
"some days ago, when asked by
newspaper man for my views upon
the subject of present-day styles and
fashions I said that the sinister, per-
suasive, ingratiating evil influence OF
fashion causes me uneasiness. We can
and we will protect our women against
the deadly foes we can put our hands
upon, but our women themselves must
protect themselves against themselves.
"I think the action of the young col
lege women to which you refer is not
only proper, but it very timely, and
they are to be commended for it, and
I would be gald if similar institutions
would take similar action. and if al
our ladies, young and old, would use
their influence to revise the present.
styles, and to go back to the days OF
our mothers. It would be much to the
advantage of, the present generation,
and certainly .verv verv healthful for
tho coming generations, for if the
thing goes much further fear that
young men. will fail to have that high
regard for the virtue and purity and,
sanctitv of our womanhood which has
been characteristic especially Of the
true men of the South, and which was
characteristic of our fathers-that
high regard which many OF US do have

ting SO this is considered no privilege
At all, and that even sometimes an
innocent kiss is not considered going
very far.
"some of the styles which we see
upon our streets ought not TO be seen

some instances it would be we'll for
some of the ladies one sometimes sees
on the streets to stand in the front OF
their homes before leaving home. and
let their mother or some other near
woman relative, stand behind them,
and If, after such test. with the iadF
between the mother or other relative
and the light, the mother or other re-
lative says the lady should go upon
the streets dressed as she is, then let
her go; otherwise she should either
stay at home or put on more clothes.
THAT is my honest opinion in the
matter. Possibly it would be better If
I should say nothing, but of all things
on this earth that I am interested in,
that which / am most deeply interested

REMBERT IN THE RACE.
Announces His Candidacy For Gov.
ernor in The Campaign OF Next
Summer.
Special to The Herald and News.

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, May 5.-George R. Rem
bert. of the Columbia bar, and member
of the house from Richland county,
has defnitely>announced his candidacy
for governor in the campaign of next
summer. In announcing his candidacy
Mr.. Rembert gave out the following
statement:
81 consider it rather too soon to
make a definite announcement, but my
friends from all over the State have
urged me to let them know what in
tend to do; therefore. I will say that
unless something unforeseen happens,
I shall be in the race for governor
nsxt year. l shall, to the best of my
ability carry forward the fight for the
people that Governor Blease has made.
We have differed and do differ about
some things, but we have never diff
fered in the fight for the masses Of
the people against the political ring,
which would constitute itself into an
oligarchy, dictated to by certain news
papers and a few whom they would
perpetuate in Office.
For Tax Reform.
81 shall fight as I have fought in
the legislature for reform in our
tax system. We have about the most
inequitable system in the United
States. For years the burden has been
upon the masses of the people, upon
the small farmer md the merchant
upon those having tangible property
alone, while the intangible property Of
the very rich has paid little or escaped
taxation altogether. 1 shall fight for
such changes as will tighten the bur-
den on the shoulders Of the weak, and
place it where it belongs, upon the
shoulders Of the strong. l shall fight
for a tax on water power Millions Of
dollars in natural resources have been
given away, while the people have
slept and it is time to stop.
Would Make Newspapers Behave
81 shall fight as I have fought for
a law that will make the newspapers
behave themselves, and force them to
give to every man. regardless of his
politics. square deal.
81 shall fight for the election of
judges by the people. 1t is the only
way to keep them from ultimately be-
longing to the corporations. The peo-
pie should have as much right to say
who shall construe their laws as they
have to say who shall make them.
There are other important matters
which I shall incorporate in my plat
form, all of which will be fully dis
cussed in the campaign.
"My political and legislative record
is before the people and in possession
OF my opponents. If they haven't it
I advise them to get it, for have
theirs"

Big FIRE LOSS
AT ROSS, N. D.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 10.-The town of
Ross, southwest Of Stanley, Mountrail
county, was cut off from outside COM
m%unication last night because of a
disastrous fire which swept the entire
side of the main street yesterday and
entailed a property loss of $4,000.
That the city was not completely
wiped off the map Is due to heroic eff
forts Of citizens from Stanley and 9TH
err n~eighbor1ng towns, who came to
the rescue in automobiles, formed
bucket brigades and managed to keep
the flames in check.
The town was without fire protec-
ton and what little equipment they
had, was inadequate to check the
flames. A high wind was blowing at
the time.
The destroyed buildings include the
following:
Albert Olson pool holl, Commercial
hotel. two general stores. including
The Ross Journal, the Dougherty drug
store.
The fire started in the pool hall,
probably from an overheated stove,
and had a big start when discovered.
