What Does X Mean?

Two western New Workers have
been arrested in Marlboro district,
who had under their care a large
stand Of arms and invoices about
their persons, calling for another lot
Of arms-in all about twelve hundred
stands-consigned to parties in Will
mington, N. C. A gentleman has been
sent to the latter place to make fur
ther Investigations and arrest implica-
ted persons. The two New Workers
were committed to Jail. The citizens
of Marlboro were intensely excited;
and it was with difficulty that Judge
Whitener, who was holding court
there, prevented their violent seizure
and immediate execution.
What does it mean? For what pur-
pose are these arms sent into our
midst? Are they to arm the Wide
Awakes," who in the event Of Lin
coins election, will not wish to be en-
numbered in their southern pleasure
excursion?" Are they the aiders and
abettors of a deeply laid servile insur-
rection? Who are at the bottom OF
the movement? 1t is evident that II
is not an individual enterprise. The
conclusion is forced upon us that 1t IS
an organized concerted scheme to sap
and mire the bulwarks Of southern So
ciety. We are forced to believe that
it is the work Of an unmanly and law
less foe. We are forced to fix the
stigma on the Wide -Awakes as the
miserable creature and tool or the
BLACK Republican" party.
If this conclusion be correct, 1t Is
only one of a thousand evidences or
the intention Of this party to set all
the law, and even justice and human
ity. at defiance to carry their point.
AS a means thereto they would stimu-
late the darkest and foulest passions
of our servile population, and then stir
them up to a double rage by kind OF
qualification which, were it not so hor-
rible, would only fill us with wonder
and astonishment. The midnight torch
of the incendiary, the treasonaole
plotting of the insurrectionist, the Sc
cret distribution and burial Of arms
and ammunition throughout the south
for purposes too vile to be maze
known-these are the forerunners OF
perhaps, a Wide Awake" crusade for
the purpose Of southern humiliation'
disgrace and ruin.
We have the law; we love to see its
forms preserved; but when sufnclent
evidence is brought to convict these
traitors to the country, stigmas upon
civilization and enemies Of not only
our peace but our very existence as
people, they should be hung without
Judge or jury. They are condemned
already. We know that trial cannot
save them. Why wait? The law IS
too slow. Public opinion controls the
law, anyhow in it's practical results.
The whole country-judge, jury and
all-say hang them. This is not a
time for us to strain at gnat.' Hang
them!
News later than the above, declares
that the two men referred to-named
Hitchings-in explanation Of their
conduct, told that the older had a son
who is engaged in conducting travel
ers from st. Louis, Mo-, to Sante re,
New Mexico, &C., and that all arms
and ammunition were intended for
him. The prisoners have been tried
before a select jury" and condemned
to be hanged on Friday tomorrow.
Thy cannot complain Of their fate.

Candidate

Question Now is On WhIch SIDE rs the
Candidate.
Hon. Richard I. Manning Of Sumter,
on last Saturday gave out the follow
ing interview to the Columbia corre-
spondent of the News and Courier:
Mr. Manning said:
"In an interview published April
Is. Mr.. John l.. McLaurin mis-stated
my position and sought to shift the
responsibility for the drawing Of fac
tional lines. In his statement Mr..
McLaurin was quoted as saying that
Mr.. Manning has drawn the factional
lines in his platform.
Replies to MeLaurin.
"Mr. McLaurin has forgotten, evil
IDENTIFY, his statement in announcing
his own platform on March %, in
which he said that Bleaseism would
be one. if not the paramount, issue
in the campaign
I'm the opening paragraph Of his
platform Mr.. McLaurin enumerated
the issues as follows:
~ take it that the leading issues
in the coming campaign will be, viz:
81. Qualifying suffrage in the pri-
mary
"'2. Compulsory school law.
"'3. The Fortner bill.
"'4. The warehouse bill.
"'5. Bleaseism (so-called.)'
when l formally announced as a
candidate for governor last October,
| said in a statement given the press
at that time:
UNLESS it is forced upon me, I
shall not recognize the existence of
two factions in the Democratic party
in this state. My own belief is that
the people of the state are tired of
strife and that the time has come
when the interests of all our people
will be advanced by getting together
on ii platform of principles, admins
tering the government along business
lines, looking to the upbuilding Of the
agricultural and commercial develop
ment of the state
When | appeared the night Of
April 6, 1914, by invitation to address
the Young Mems Manning club of
Sumter, | again announced that l
would not recognize the existence of
two factions unless it was forced upon
me. | can only repeat now what
said then:
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-04-24
Position Reiterated.

81 want to be frank with you my
friends and neighbors. l want to be
equally frank with my fellow citizens
throughout the state who do not
know me as well as you do will not
sail under false cOlors-I want all
voters to know where l stand on pub
lie questions.
~ want peace restored i'm South
Carolina. This statement l made
months ago. and have had no reason
to change it. l want good will, good
feeling. i want to see factional poll
tics relegated to the past. l want the
people to unite in advocating the
policies which will build up our
state, improve and uplift the charac-
ter Of her citizens and give opportuni-
ty to better conditions.
81 shall not, unless forced TO do
so, recognize the existence of two fac
tions in this state. l have many
friends and supporters who voted for
Blease and many who voted for Jones.
In the governors race, let us drop the
personalities of the past and, looking
ahead, take up those questions which
affect the interest and welfare of the
people.
lit is, however, only frank for me
to state, so that all may understand
me and my attitude. that / have never
been a follower or supporter of Gov
ernor BleaSe, nor have / approved his
course.
"'Some have attempted to inject
the issue of Bleaseism into the guber-
material race. While l do not agree
with them in this, if the same is per-
sisted in, then my attitude is known
and is as stated. l will have no fear
in meeting such an issue.
Ready for Any Issue.
II want to say that ! am ready to
meet any issue that is brought be-
fore the people of South Carolina
in the campaign, but when Mr.. Nc
Laurin accuses me of drawing fac
tional lines he makes Il statement
deliberately in the face of the record.
He has injected Bleaseism into the
gubernatoral race. Let him carry
his chieftain's banner if he will, but let
him not evade the responsibility.
For my part / am making this
race on my merit and am not tied
to the coat-tails Of any man."
Mr. Manning stated that he has re-
ceived much encouragement from
every section of the state in his race
and feels confident Of victory.

IS FROM YOUR GARDEN
turn pumpkin out on platter for an
hour or so before using.
CANNED CORN
The simplest way to can corn is to
cut corn from cob, not too closely,
and scrape cob well to get all the
juice.
To five quarts of the corn add one
pint of table salt. Put in large granite
kettle and boil one and one-half
hours. Have tin cans piping hot.
Do not allow corn to stop boiling.
Fill cans to top. Force on cover and
turn hot rosin or sealing wax around
edge Of cover. Cover cans with a
heavy blanket to allow to cool slowly.
When ready to serve rinse once in
clear, cold water, drain head up and
season to taste.
CANNED BEETS
Use small sweet beets. Boil until
tender and skin. Pack jars with beets
and fill to top with water sailed in
proportion of one teaspoon of salt to
each quart and half cup of vinegar.
Adjust tops to cans and place in
boiler on rack and boil forty-fve min
utes. When slightly cool run beeswax
around edge of cover.
Carrots may be canned in this way.
CORN AND TOMATOES
This mixture is more trouble than
either canned above. Proceed as i'll
corn recipe, but each boiling must be
at least one and one-half hour (bet-
ter if two).
LIMA BEANS
Shell beans, pack in cans with one
teaspoon of salt to each quart of
beans, fill can with clear, cold water
and proceed same as for peas.
STRING BEANS

carefully and cut into any desired

CAROLINE COE TELLS HOW TO DOTHE SUMMER
CANNING VEGETABLES FROM YOUR GARDEN

N<A4N4N41NO-N Eli i ADAL
BY CAROLINE coE.
Make use of, all ten vegetables that
grow in your garden. Don't think
you must have them by the basket.
Put up a can of beans today, peas
tomorrow and so on. You will be
surprised how little time it has taken
and how great the result.
Any vegetable to be canned must
be absolutely fresh. If it seems wilted
or at all decayed do not waste time,
fire, jars and patience putting it up,
for it will not keep.
cAULIFLoWER
Trim caulif1ower and allow to stand
in salt water half an hour. Pull flow
ers apart; place in boiling salt water
and cook until tender, not soft. Cool
with running water. Pack in jars,
being careful not to fill so full as to
crush the shape of the flowerets. To
one quart of cold water add one tea
spoon of salt. Boil and allow to cool
Fill jars. Put on rubber and top
tightly. Put in boiler on rack with
cold water to depth of half the can
Put cover on boiler, bring slowly to
boiling point and let boil two hours
Lift out cans. See that covers are
perfectly tight.
TOMATOES AND CORN
Boil corn on the cob twenty min
utes.. Cut off while hot; have toma-
toes skinned and rub through sieve
to smooth pulp. To each quart of corn
add two quarts of tomatoes. Salt to
taste. Boil hard five minutes. Fill cans
from boiling kettle. Seal quickly. Be
sure tops are perfectly tight. 1t is a
good plan to turn paraflne around
where top and rubber meet.

that has commenced to decay is of no
use as an article OF food.
Do your canning IN weil-kept

Young vegetables are superior in
flavor and texture to mature ones.
It's the germs with which the air
