New York, Nov. 3O-Police Of New
York face a veritable wave of crime
on the first swell Of which, in the
space of a few weeks, have come.
fodr bomb outrages, one street as;
sassination that smacks Of a Rosen-.
thai murder, and barrel murder
mystery. %,y,.S u. :
The first bomb outrage occurred
several weeks ago when two men an AZ !
woman, thought to be members Of
white slave band with ramifications
that extend throughout the country
partially wrecked the new Bron'
county courthouse and shattered the
Offices of the county sheriff.
The next one followed several day:
later when bomb, the fuse sputter-
ing dangerously near the explosive
was discovered near judges bench
in city court in time to prevent dam
age and possible death to several per-
sons. While the police still were with
out clew to these outrages two mer
dropped q barrel on curb III Long
Island City. 1t contained the still!
warm body of man who had beer
shot through the heart.
Then came the wrecking Of the frs
floor of a tenement in Cherry Stree
Investigation by the police uncov
cred the fact that the place had beer
occupied by a Sicilian club.
In one of the rooms was fount
enough explosives to have blown tho
six story tenement to bits. Two in
Jared men and a third, who was aid
ing them, were arrested in one of the
wrecked rooms.
Within day after the wrecking o.
the Cherry Street bomb plant Barn'
Raff, whose fight against the poultry
trust resulted in the conviction ant
sentencing to Jail of thirteen of it
members, was lured from his Office
and shot, to death in crowded street
His two murderers escaped in an au
tcmobile.
The last bomb explosion occurred
late Thursday. A man who said hi
name is Tony Lollo was carrying Z
bundle along East One Hundred ant
Fourteenth Street. Suddenly thu
''oundle" exploded, ripping away two
of Lollo's fingers. 1t was dynamite
bomb.
The police are certain he can be
connected in some way with New
York's bomb planters.

field which gives the allies the adj
vantage in strength of position. The
battle stretches nearly from Melin
Chateau Thicrry, to Grandpre and
then in sOutheasterly direction.
The superior number of the Germans
is offset by the fact that the allies
selected their own battlefield. 1t is be-
neVed that much depends on this
great battle. The kaiser is now at
Metz, urging with his presence and
voice the Germans to strive to the last
degree for victory.

Their Suffering Ended.

Hundreds of your neighbors are
ready to tell you just what has made
life new for them and relieved them
OF the tortures of ill health, il you
will let them. They have used Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy to purify their
blood and enrich the life-giving fluid
so that all the bodily functions could
work properly. When that was done,
and the organs got chance to do
their work, Nature cleared up their
troubles, SO that they are now we'll.
1t doesn't much matter whether the
trouble is laid on the digestion, the
nerve or the skin. Back of It all is
the fact that the blood is either not
good enough or is positively poison
ed. OF course you cannot get we'll, di-
gcst what you cat or rest in sleep. as
long as what ought to give your
nerves tone and your digestion ener-
gy and strength is poisoned every min
ute Of the day. Get the blood right
Moses said 1T is the life" When the
blood is right you live.
Here is what one Of your neigh
bOrs declares: "a few years ago
was a terrible sufferer from blood
poison. If the skin would be broken
from any cause the flesh would be-
come ini1amed, would itch and burn
and develop in sores. Mrs. Joe Per-

possibly be to make it impossible for
the farmers to secure loans on their
cotton. What we want in this State,
In this emergency. is to make credit
easier, not to undermine it's fOunda-
ton.
But while the form of the action
needed is debatable ground, it is not
debatable that the cotton producers of
South Carolina are faced with the
most critical problem with which they
have had to deal in years, and recog-
nizing this clearly, as the Richards
resolutions set forth, what does Gov.
Blease do? What, indeed? This. He
undertakes to make capital out of
the farmers dstress-a distress for
which they are in no wise responsible
by coercing them into casting their
ballots for his own hand-picked cam
didate, John G.. Richards. First, he
calls meeting and has Richards IN
trOduce his resolutions. Then he tells
Richards he will call special session
of the general assembly. as the Rich
ards resolutions urge. But, he does
not stop there. He goes further. If
the farmers do not vote for Richards,
he says that he will take their failure
to do so as meaning that they do not
want any relief from the State.
The thing is monstrous. 1t is the
most outrageous attempt of which we
have ever heard to take advantage of
the business misfortune of people
and browbeat them into political slav-
cry as to price of aid from the State
which. if it shall be needed, ought to
be given freely and gladly. Does Cole
l.. Blease own the State government ?
We are satisfied that the farmers OF
South Carolina will resent bitterly this
effort to subjugate them into sur
render of their right to choose for
themselves who shall be their next
governor. But the fact that such an
effort has been made shows how des-
perate the Blease machine has be-
come. If South Carolina is to be saw
ed continuance Of such selfish and
brutal maladministration of her pub
lie affairs every man who is weary of
this sort Of business should go to the
polls on next Tuesday and vote for
Richard l. Manning. That is the only
way in which the people can register
effectively the Indignation which all
right-thinking men must feel at such
arrogant and unscrupulous misuse of
authority.-News and Courier.

we'll nigh torn asunder by factional
strife, that we had a Peace Maker
among us, who conceived the idea of
welding US together and with the as
sistance of others. carried his ideas to
successful conclusion by getting the
leading men of both factions to nomi-
nate a joint ticket, three men from
each side, who were overwhelmingly

llurrlll for The Game Cock County

(Reprinted from the Watchman and
Southron Of July 81, 1850
The people of the State are to be
congratulated upon the result of the
peace and harmony negotiations III
Sumter County. The delegation from
the county in the Constitutional Con-
vcntion will be equally divided be-
tween the Conservatives and Reform
ers. The agreement for an equal di-
vision was reached yesterday evening
after much discussion and MANY con-
ferences, and, as our correspondent
says, when the final result was an
nounced the Convention was resolved
into hallelujah mass meeting and so
much good will and kindly fellowship
has not been seen in the Game Cock
County since 1890"
This was entirely proper under the
circumstances. 1t would be we'll for
South Carolina if "a halleluiah mass
meeting could be held in every coun-
ty in the State, and such a meeting
would have been held in every county
but for the faithlessncss of the politi
clans who live by strife and the folly
or extremists and impracticables who
have not been able to take n broad
view of big question. We congratu-
