BECKW|TH BARN
WAS DESTROYED
BY |NCENDIARY
MULES AND CONTENTS OF BARN
ARE A TOTAL LOSS

Early this morning the incendiary's
torch was again applied in Sumter
county, resulting in the total destruc-
ton of E. L. Beckwith's barn, with all
contents, on his farm near Myrtle
Springs six miles west of Americas.
The fire was discovered about mid
night, but as the barn was entirely
afame, Mr. Beckwith succeeded in saw
ing only one of his two mules, his
cows and hogs. One mule was burned
to death, while the one escaping from
the burning barn is badly injured and
will probably die. All of the corn, hay
and fodder in the barn was destroyed.
The estimated loss is $4,000 and is
complete, as Mr.. Beckwith had no in
surance upon the property. State Fire
Master w. R. Joyner is in Americas,
fortunately, and will probably inves-
tigate this latest incendiary fire along
with other like confagrations occur

GOVERNOR SLATON
GOES BANKING
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 17.-Governor
John NJ. Slaton is in New York city
today, having gone east to confer with
bankers relative to the issuance next
spring of about three million dollars
in Georgia state bonds. These will be
issued to refund others which mature
in the summer.
Governor Slaton has made a reputa-
ton as business governor" upon his
first visit to the New York financiers,
and the expressed surprise that chief
executive was as skilled and informed
in purely fiscal details. He made an
exceptionally good deal for the state
on that mission, and his present visit is
merely to wind up some details.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 17.-Raymund
Daniel, for the past year editor of the
Valdosta Times, has returned to At
lanta for brief rest, having resigned
from his place with the Valdosta pa
per. The Atlanta newspaper crowd
welcomed him home, for he was for
many years with the Journal and held
a high rank in the Fourth Estate here.
Mr.. Daniel has several offers of new
positions under consideration, but has
deferred his decision for the present,
desiring a vacation for time. But he
probably will soon be back in the har-
ness, for he is a skilled newspaper
man, knows the city as we'll as the

hard to keep his fingers off the soft
pencil and the copy paper.

A SECOND TERM
FOR PRES. WILSON

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 17-Now
that the full returns from the con-
gressional election have all been re-
ported and the smoke of battle clears
away, a clear and complete democratic
victory is shown. In the next house
of representatives there will be 1913
democrats, 1913 republicans, Bull
Moosers, l socialist from New York
city, and l Independent Congressman
Kent, Of California These figures give
the democrats clear majority Of 81
over all opposition and 40 majority
over republicans, and as all of the
s progressives usually vote with the
democrats it will be seen that Presi-
dent Wilson will have more than fifty
majority on his progressive measures.
1t is a well known fact that as a rule
when any party "revises the tariff it
thereby disturbs business temporarily
and the following election the party
passing the bill is usually overwhelm-
ed at the polls. There has been but
one exception, and that was when the
Dingley bill was passed at the COM
mencement of President McKinley's
term in 1897. In the fall of the fol-
lowing years, 1898, the republicans did
manage to retain the control of the
house by the slender majority of 10
votes, and that was made possible be-
cause we had just finished the victor
ious war with Spain. On all other
occasions whenever the party passed
a tariff bill it was defeated. So the
fact that after President Wilson and
his party leaders had put through the
currency bill and the tariff bill, the
country has seen fit to return a dem
ocratic house and senate, shows that
the country approves what President
Wilson has done and that they mean
to engage his services for another term
in the white house

ing and destroying our enemies is 6
brave act and a good deed, and is full,
ly justified.
There is no reason whatever why
we should trouble ourselves about the
notions concerning US in other coun-
tries. Certainly we should not worry
about the opinions and feelings held
in neutral countries.
Arbiter of Her Own Methods.
Germany stands as the supreme ar
bitter of her own methods, which in the
time of war must be dictated to the
world.
1T is of no consequence whatever if
all the monuments ever created, all
the pictures ever painted, and all the
buildings ever erected by the great ar
chitects of the world be destroyed, if
by their destruction we promote Ger
many's victory over her enemies, who
vowed her complete humiliation. In
times of peace, we might regret, per-
haps, the loss of such things, but at
the present moment not word of re-
greet, not thought, should be squan-
dered upon them.
War is war, and must be waged
with severity. The commonest, ugliest
stone placed to mark the burial place
of German grenadier is more glor-
ious and venerable monument than all
the cathedrals in Europe put to-
gether.
"They call US barbarians. What of
it? We scorn them and their abuse. For
my part, I hope that in this war we
have merited the title of barbarians.
Let neutral peoples and our enemies
cease their empty chatter, which may
we'll be compared to the twitter OF
birds. Our troops must achieve vic
tory. What else matters?"
