lease from custody. Stevenson was
at once arrested, taken before Mag
istrate Charles Dood and his exam
ming trial set for August %.
The decision is very important
one. inasmuch as it relates to the
new concealed weapon law passed,
by the last Legislature, which pro-
vides disfranchisement of man
found guilty of carrying concealed
weapons, in addition to the fine ana
imprisonment. The effect of the de-
cision is that no court inferior to
the Circuit Court has jurisdiction to
innict the punishment pronounced
by the statute against carrying COW
cealed weapons. Though, of course,
county courts, police courts and
justices courts sitting as examining
courts may bind offenders over to
the grand Jury.

FALLS 900 FEET AND
ESCAPES WITH BRUISES

Mineola, n. T., Aug. 22.-Albert
FileuX. of New York City, an aviator,
fell 200 feet in his monoplane to
the Hampstead aviation field to-day
and escaped with his life. He was
badly bruised and lacerated but sur
geons at the Nassau Hospital said
he was suffering chiefly from shock
and that they thought he would live.
FileauX fell while looping the loop.
He had completed the circle and the
nose of his aeroplane was pointed
straight for earth, preparatory to
making a long glide. when his en-
CINE went dead. The machine fell
like a plummet. Onlookers watch
ing the flight saw his frantic efforts
to right the aeroplane and when
those failed. saw him swing himself
into the cockpit of the machine so
that he would not be caught beneath
the heavy engine.
As he climbed back his weight so
disturbed the balance of the mono
plane that instead of falling nose
down it turned when hundred feet
from the earth and hit the ground
Oh the front wheels. These collaps-
ed and the machine somersaulted.
The hangar attendants, who rushed
out expecting to pick up his mangled
body found him conscious and with
out broken bones.

FIGHTING TO BEGIN At ONCE
Toxic Emperor Orders Begin
ming of Operations On
Land and Sea.
ACTION ELIMINATES AUSTRIA

Toxic. Aug. 23.-The Emperor OF
japan to-day declared war upon
Germany.
This action was taken at the ex-
piration of the time limit of japan
ultimatum to Germany demanding
the surrender of Kiau Chau.
The Japanese Government has
ordered the beginning of operations
on land and sea.
The Imperial Rescript declaring
war upon Germany was issued this
evening. 1t officially inaugurates
hostiiities in the Far East as a result
of Germany's failure to reply to the
japanese ultimatum.
The proclamation of the Emperor
sent a thrill through the country.
Japan's entrance upon the fulfill
ment of her obligations to her ally,
Great Britain, responds to the popu-
lar will from one end of the land to
the other. Cheering crowds assemb-
led to-day before the buildings occu-
pied by the Department of Foreign
Affairs and the Administration OF
the Navy. This evening there We're
lantern professions through the
streets. The popular manifestations,
however, do not approach the en-
thusiasm which preceded the war
with Russia.
Count Won Rex, the German Am
bassador, has been handed his pass
ports. He probably will leave for
America either on the Minnesota,
sailing August 81, or the Manchuria,
which departs on August 20. George
w. Guthrie, the American Ambassa-
dor, will represent Germany. The
Diet has been convoked in special
session for September 3.
The Austrian cruiser Kaiserin
Eizabeth. which latterly was at
Tsing-Tau, the seaport of kiau
Chau, is reported to have sailed. She
perhaps will go to neutral port and
disarm. 1t is believed this action
will keep Austria out of the war in
the Orient, although unforeseen cir
cumstances may force Japan to
change this policy. No action yet
has been taken relative to Austria,
and the Foreign Office has explained
that Japan will remain friendly, un-
less Austria adopts an attitude
which it regards as offensive.

Paris, August ga woman with
four sons in the French army to-day
walked slowly down the steps of one
of the municipal offices where rela-
tives are informed officially whether
soldiers are dead, wounded or unre-

but her emotion was greater than
could be expressed in tears. A
friend came up quickly and said:

glad! Jean is safe"
YES, they are all safe" was the
reply. They are safe in the arms
of the Father. am proud to give
all to the cause"

An order from Gen. Villa hating
further warlike action by Gov. May

in Sonora, provided the Yaqui In

FINE PROSPECTS.
FOR DEMOCRATS
In the Coming November
Election.
THE NAME OF J. N. CAMDEN
Adds Strength To Ticket
Vote, Though Light, Fig.
ureS Out Good.
ORGANIZATION WELL IN HAND
(By Thomas D. Cromwell.J


Lexington, Ky, Aug. 22.-The to-
tai vote cast by Democrats, Repub-
licans and Progressives at the Aug
ust primary election, as shown by the
official count canvassed and publish
ed by the State Board of Election
Commissioners at Frankfort last Sat
urday, was 225,9OS, which was 211,-
954 less than the total vote cast by
the three parties at the Presidential
election in 1912, and 1929 less
than the combined vote of the Dem
ocrats and Republicans at the guber-
Material election in 1911. when Gov
ernor James b. McCreary defeated
Judge Edward C. O'Rear, Republic
an nominee. by 81, 335.
At the August primary the vote
was divided 16S, sos Democratic
SO 135 Republican and 3,96S Pro-
gressive The stay-at-homes, taking
the Presidential election of 1912 as
the basis for calculation We're 49,
779 Democrats. 62,377, Republicans
and 9S,79S Progressives. Thus it
is shown that SO per cent of the Pro-
gressives of 1912 failed to go to the
polls; that nearly sc per cent of the
Republicans did not vote and that
only 10 per cent of the Democrats
failed to participate in the primary.
This augurs well for Democratic
success in November and it seems to
sustain in quite forcible manner
leaders that former Governor J. c.
w. Beckham is in no danger of de-
feat for United States Senator at the
hands of either former Governor Au-
gustus Everett Wilson or Burton
Vance.
There will be some Democrats
who Went into the primary and voted
for Governor McCreary or Congress
man A. o. Stanley who will not vote
for Beckham. but these are compar-
atively few and probably will be full
ly equalized by Republicans who
voted for Colonel Richard p. Ernst
and will not support Wilson.
In 1912 the Democratic vote for
President was 219,5S4, while the
combined Republican and Progress
sive vote was 21S.27S. 1t was shown
quite clearly that ! per cent of the
lO2,76G Progressive votes had pre-
viously been allied with the Demo |
cratic party: so, If the Progressive !
party in Kentucky is disintegrating
and a very appreciable percentage of
it will vote for candidate for the !
United States Senate other than Mr.. |
Vance, it is logical that the Demo
cratic party will get back the same
ratio of the drifting Moosemen. 1t
is also logical to suppose that Will
son will get no more OF the Socialist
Prohibition and Social-Labor party |
vote than will Beckham.
The Democratic ticket is material !
ly strengthened by the presence
thereon OF the name of Senator
Johnson n. Camden, who for the
short term senatorial nomination re-
ceived 1886 votes. the highest |
number cast for any candidate at |
the August primary. II is further
strengthened by the personal organi-
cations which have been created by |
the Democratic nominees for Rep
resentative in the first nine congress
sional districts and by the organiza-
ton that is to be made by and for
Nat b. Sewell. the Democratic nom
inee in the Eleventh Congressional
District.

board of trustees of the University of
South Carolina today elected DR. Will
liam Spcnser Curren as president.
This action was taken after mature
and careful consideration end after
many names had been considered.
Dr. Currell was most highly recon-
mended by personal friends and ac-
quaintances-the first suggestion OF
his name coming to a member of the
board in personal conversation with
Col. Asbury Coward, who had known
Dr. Currell as lad in Yorkville,
where the elder Currell had been a
successful teacher. This suggestion
was followed as DR. Currell was in
no way candidate for the place and
overtures were made. Later on n
special committee of four members
OF the board went to Richmond
where for an entire day the repres-
entativcs of the board and DR.. Cur
rell went over the matter, and at to-
days meeting DR.. Currells name was
formally presented by a speci;I com
mittee of six, known as the presi-
nt's committee.
The board was anxious to secure
as the head of tn eUniversity a
South Carolinian of the highest char
acter, of culture, and who at the
same time could and would continue
the excellent outside work inaugu-
rated by DR.. Mitchell while he was
president of the University. The pur-
pose of the board is for the presi-
dent OF the institution wherever he
can to spread the evanCe of educa-
tion and for this DR.. Currel is es-
pecially suited, long having been rec
ognized as a public speaker of rare

tanned the 81 1000 anti-lynching pro-
vision. He read an affidavit from c..
p. Moorer OF st. George, which
state that he was in that town the
night of the Haskell convention. The
Senator said he was not apologizing,
but wanted the record properly given
that anyway, all these things anteda-
ted the beginning of his work for the
farmers. He challenged his oppon-
ents, who said he has nothing to do
with raising the price of cotton, to
say that they would not at least try
to put up the price IL they go to the
Senate.
The senator was presented a minia
ture bale OF cotton which he declared
to be "the emblem of the South's
prosperity"
