OLDFTELD AND THE
 ALASKAN RAILROAD

The Batesville Guard severely critieises Congressman Oldield for his vote in favor of the ap- propriation to build a govern ment railroad in Alaska.
 Of course everybody knows the real basis for the Guards criticism is the vote MT. Oldfeld cast last fall in deciding the contest for postmaster at Batesville, and is not the Alaskan railroad proposition at all.
 Since Oldfeld cast his vote against the editor of the Guard for postmaster at Batesville, 1t has become impossible for him, in the Guards estimation, to cast vote right on any subject and that paper has lost no op- portunity to criticise him, abuse him and sling mud at him.
 Fact of the matter is, the Guard does not care a rap whether there is one mile or a million miles of railroads in Alas ka, nor how or by whom they are built. But it thinks it sees an opportunity to rap on Oldfield and possibly prejudice someone against him, hence this great discharge of hot air.
 In this, as in every vote he has cast since the Democrats came into power, 0ldield voted with the administration. In his message to congress last Decem- Der, President Wilson strongly urged the building of the flask an railroad. Secretary Lane of the Interior Department, Mir. Bryan and the entire Cabinet thought it the proper thing to do.
 We suppose congress thought it would be all right with the Guard to go ahead with the ap- propriation, as that was away last December--three months ago. and the Guard had made no protest.

WILL TOM QUIT, TOO?

And now comes the Hon. Tom Campbell, of Pochahontas, and says he wants to occupy the seat now held by Billy Oldfield in Con- gress. After looking over the field, MT. Campbell will probably come to the same conclusion as did Judge Lankford and Judge Humphries, gracefully withdraw from the contest White County News.

ed the appropriation last Decem- Der, the senate passed it some time ago, and still the Guard said nothing.
 If Mir. Oldfeld is subject to criticism for his vote on the bill. the entire Democratic admins tration shonld come in for a part of the blame, as practically every Wilson Democrat and all the party leaders voted for it, and the bill was passed by the overwhelming majority of 231 ayes to 87 noes.
 The administration takes the position, which seems to us a very logical one, that the govern ment must build andcontrol trans portation facilities in Alaska, so that the people can get the bene- fits of the vast storehouse of gold, silver, copper, coal. and other products, or permit the special interests to go there and build the roads and secure con- trol of the great wealth of that country. President Wilson takes the position that the government ought to develop this territory itself since it owns 98 per cent of all the land in Alaska, rather than see this territory gobbled up by the special interests and trusts.
 Statistics show that since this government has owned Alaska there has been produced in that country $240, 916, 520 worth of gold, about $2, GOO, 900 worth of silver, and about $10, GOO, 900 worth of copper, besides enor- nous quantities of other valuable minerals.
 In addition to this, the fur and fishery products of that territory have amounted to approximately $240, 100000.
 There is at present less than 500 miles of railroad in Alaska. The government owns 98 per cent of all the lands, including the timber lands, gold mines, silver mines, and coal mines. Why shouldn't the government build some railroads, provide transpor- tation facilities, and thus unlock the door to the enormous wealth that the government owns there, and thereby assist the people to get the benefits of it?

La, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1914
SUMMARY OF PRIMARY RULES.

Editor Keowee Courier: 1t is
deemed proper to give brief
summary of the new constitution
and rules of the Democratic party
Of South Carolina.
Qualifications for club member
ship and for voting in primary
elections are: Applicant must be
21 years of age, a white Demo-
crat, citizen Of the United
States and of the State, must have
resided in the State two years, in
the county six months, and in the
club district 60 days. If a negro,
applicant must have voted for
Hampton in 1876, and the Demo-
cratic ticket continuously since.
There must be a new enroll
ment. Each county must be di-
Nlded into separate club districts
by the county executive commit
tee, which must meet on the first
Monday in June, or as soon there
after as possible, to name the club
districts, and places where the
books are to be opened. Appli-
cants shall present themselves in
person before the club secretary,
or enrolling officer, and sign the
roll, or make their mark If they
are unable to write, giving their
age, occupation and post Office ad-
dress. Properly prepared books
are furnished each club for this
purpose.
The club rolls shall be closed on
the last Tuesda. in July of each

opened Oy the secretary Of each
club on the second Tuesday in
June in each election year.

o'clock p. m. First primary must
be held on last Tuesday in Au-
gust, and a second and third each
two weeks, successfully, thereafter
If necessary.
Our county executive committee
should meet next Monday and di-
vide Oconee county into club dis
tricts, and organize the various
clubs and provide the machinery
for the new enrolment.
1t is the intention and desire
that every Democrat shall take
part in the primary; that he shall
vote once, and that his vote shall
be honestly counted. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that this new sys-
TEN will cffectually promote this
end. However, every Democrat
is urged to cooperate with the
officers Of their respective clubs in
procuring the new enrolment Of
all members Of the party. With
a little special effort and atten-
ton for the next two months,
every Democrat in the State en-
titled to vote should have his
name on the new roll.
In conclusion, | might state that
the six delegates elected by or
county convention answered TO
roll-call when the State Conven-
tion convened at noon Wednesday.
j. p. Stribling had to leave Thurs
day morning, and the delegation
elected Oscar Doyle as his substi-
tute, so as to maintain our full
voting strength for the final test
Thursday afternoon. The friends
Of Mr.. Doyle will be pleased to
learn that he is a student from
Oconee in the law department Of
the State University. in which he
is taking fine rank.
In the assignment Of committee
appointments the Oconee delegates
served as follows: Committee on
Constitution and Rules, F.. M.
Cary; Committee on Platform, DR..
j. S. Stribling; Committee on
Credentials, DR.. A. NJ. Redfern.
After the adoption Of the new
constitution and rules the conven-
tion unanimously elected John
Gary Evans as State chairman.
The convention then adjourned
Thursday afternoon about 6
o'clock, and the State chairman
called the State Executive Com
mittee into seSS on. Dr.. G.. NJ.
Walker met with this committee
as Oconee's member. Willie Jones
was elected treasurer, and w. p.
McCown secretary of the State
committee.
Provision was also made for the
new enrolment of the party, and
as soon as the books can be re-
ceiVed from the printer they will
be distributed to each county eX-
ecntive committee and placed in
the hands of the enrolling officer
Of each club. Thus it is seen that
the new enrolment. which is Of
such vital importance. can begin
at an early date.

Chairman OF Oconee DELEGATION.

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTEIs
SO Says Jury i'm Case of G. w. Tid-
we'll ut GreenviiIe.

Greenville, May 23.-Geo w. It'd
well, Sr., slayer of r. Emmett Wal
ker, was found guilty Of manslaugh-
ter yesterday by the jury in the case.
The announcement OF the verdict at
$40 p. m, followed deliberations
lasting more than eight hours. A
motion for new trial was an
nounced Immediately after the ver-
dict had been read. The immobile
countenance Of Tidwell was un-
changed as the verdict was an
nounced. When the jury made
known that verdict had been reach
ed, Tidwell was Immediately sent
for, not being in attendance upon
court at the time. When he entered
the court room there was a hush of
expectancy, all eyes being turned
upon the man whose name had been
prominently before the public during
the past rev months. TidwelI's iron
nerve served him we'll during the try
ing ordeal. He appeared no more
pcrturbed when the clerk arose to
read the verdict than the first morn
ing he entered the court room. The
auditorium was crowded to the
doors and hundreds clamored for ad-
mittance when the news spread that
verdict had been reached.
George w. Tidwell. Jr., left for his
home in Augusta. Mrs. Isabella It'd
well and Miss Olive Tidwell will re-
turn to their home in Clinton to-day.
Judge Il. j. Mauidin to-day denied
the motion of attorneys for Tidwell
for new trial and sentenced the de-
fendant to II years in the peniten-
tiary.
