LEFT-AT-HOMES FIND
AN OMEN OF VICTORY

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct. Silt Ia
amusing to note the way In which
Michigan students are seeking olnens
that point TO victory for the Wolver-
ines this afternoon. Since this Is a
year OF upsets and surprises, the
best omens or all are those that
would ordinarily cause great lamenta-
ton.
Yesterday II was discovered that
while the guardians of the peace
have completed plans to properly curb
the exultsnt spirit OF the students ef-
ter the Pennsy and Cornell games,
no such arrangements have been
made for tonight. Evidently the civic
authorities see no chance for the
Yostmen. and the Wolverines have
seized upon that fact as a great blow
10 Iiarvard's chances. They roul1
not have been moro pleased II Hugh
Fullerton had brought HIS statistics
10 bear and announced that as the
Crimson had n .0O0f edge over the In
vaders. Haughton's gridders could not

WILSON ENDORSES
The WRONG Man
President Sends Letter to Pro-
gressive Candidate Whom He
Thought a Democrat

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.--Preslden-
tial endorsement by way OF the cam.
paign letter system got President
Wilson into strange tangle today
when II was found he had placed bis
o. X. on Progressive candidate for
the house. j. G. Vaughn, Bull
Mooser In the second Illinois district,
was the man who received Wilson's
endorsement. but M. Il. O'Leary, o
Democrat, was the man whom the
president intended TO commend. Pc
cause OF a mixup, the president was
today forced to- telegraph Vaughn, re-
auesting him not to use the letter In
his campaign.

struct for Wilson or endorse him; but
1t did pass a resolution instructing the
delegates to vote as a unit, and as
majority Of those elected happened to
be Wilson men the result was the
same South Carolina stuck by Wilson
from start to finish. and the president
had afterward said that the position Of
this state had contributed much to his
nomination.
In conclusion, the speaker evidently
referring to the meeting at which his
opponent had struck him, told Of some
of the unpleasant personalities that
had been passing between the two.
Mr. Finley had referred to Mr.. Ste
venson as the first red headed skeleton
who had ever had the impudence to
sass him. Then Mr.. Stevenson took
occasion to say that when Mr.. Finley
first went to congress, he was so thin
that he always wore a black alpaca
coat, so when the sun shone on him,
people would not be able to tell
whether the eggs he had eaten for
breakfast had been fried or poached.
But now he has to have his belts
made to order. and his breeches legs
are big enough to serve as one OF
these modern fashionable skirts. He
went on to say that he had dubbed
his opponent the "Box-ankled ele-
phant from York" and advised him.
that If l am a red-headed skeleton,
l am a running skeleton, and the way
this skeletons bones will rattle around
on the 25th Of August will surprise
him."
In conclusion the speaker said that
when he and Mr.. Finley started out
together sixteen years ago they were
together for Bryan and 16 to l.. Il
am still on my old platform, but we
have gotten apart. He has already
had sixteen years and wants it to
stand at sixteen to none. He Is not
willing to let me have even one"

Discussing testimony that has come
out in the case of Madame CaillauX
now being tried in Paris, the Columbia
State says:
Yet there is honor, plenty Of it. 1t flows
around one everywhere, all the time.
1t is not celebrated, because it does not
need advertisement. 1t lives for itself
1t does for itself. 1t does not find II
necessary to kill because II has been
false to itself. Honor" 1t is real
quality. But in the vast majority OF
cases it is those who have lost it who
become sensitive about its recognition.
All that is absolutely true, but we
want to add an observation or two. 1t
is only those who have lost honor who
need to be sensitive about it, and they
are certainly not justified in killing be-
cause of being caught. II they are
justified then we must also justify the
burglar or sneak thief who kills when
he is surprised in the plying of his
trade. One kills in a desperate effort
to save himself from the law. The
other kills merely because he knows
that he has properly incurred penalty
that is worse than death. None but
people will try to destroy
anothers honor and they cannot. The
only person who can really destroy Il
man or woman's honor is the man or
woman whose honor is concerned, and
when that honor is destroyed, murder
is an impossible remedy.

Yorkville lost all three of the
baseball games played with Green
wood at the latter place this week;
the scores being 9 to O, to l, and s, to
4, respectively.
Work on the new court house
and the bank building across the
street is progressing rapidly. Both of
the contractors are now laying the
brick for the fronts Of the buildings.
The watermelon crop appears to
be large this year, and for the past
week there have been at least ten
wagon loads of the fruit on the streets
each day. The prices vary from ten
cents to twenty-five cents.
One Of the best baseball games
seen in Yorkville in quite a while
was that played Tuesday afternoon
between the Yorkville and Glover
colored teams. Neither side was able
to score until the eighth inning. The
Yorkville negroes won-3 to 0. They
also defeated the Glover negroes on
Monday by a score Of 8 to 3.

When Banker Norwood of Green
Vile, took it upon himself to say that
any educated" man who is supporting
Blease is a liar and a skunk" he made
serious tactical blunder to say the
least of it. If the bankers prudence
and Judgment were equal to the great
material wealth that is imputed to him,
he would not have made such blum
der. In the first place the statement is
not true In the second place, most men
Of sufficient reflection and discernment
to have made fair progress in moral
philosophy, have learned that the cpl
thet is always a dangerous weapon, FOR
its invariable tendency is to intiict
more harm on the user of it than on
the individual against whom it is di-
rected. Then again, the epithet is not
argument and it does not convince any
body. AS to whether practically all OF
the Il 900 people who supported Blease
two years ago are supporting him now
we do not know; but if they are, we
dare say many OF them are educated
men of character and we do not feel
that we would compliment them if we
should say that most of them are about
as good men as is Mr. Norwood. We
should certainly hate to feel that the
majority of the people of South Caro-
lima are liars and skunks and we sim
ply do not believe anything of the kind.
1t is quite possible that this majority
is wrong in supporting the present ad-
ministration, as it may have been in
supporting Tillman: but if it is wrong
it will never be convinced of the fact
by such argument" as Mr.. Norwood
iS using.

racity between himself and DR.. Mcln-
tosh. In view Of the fact that Column
bia has long had the reputation Of be-
ing one of the most lawless towns OF
the south, If not Of the entire country,
there Is no good ground to charge this
affair to politics at all. 1t will be re-
membered that the late Judge Gary
was held up on the streets OF Columbia
one night, and If we have not forgot
ten. robbed. There was no suggestion
of political motive. Along about the
same time, within few months before
or q few months afterward there were
two murders in the city, and in neither
case was the murderer ever caught All
this was back during the administra-
ton Of either Governor Hayward or
Governor Ansel; but at time when
there was no possible reason for sug-
gesting political motives and none were
suggested. According to the statement
of Dr. Mcintosh, his assailant first told
him to hold up his hands, and then aft
er firing, said, Collie will not be both
cred by you tomorrow" or You will not
bother Collie tomorrow" or something
to that effect II this happened just
this way, then we would reason that
the assailant must have been operating
on his own account. People bent on
assassination do not usually
warn their victims to hold up their
either stab or shoot al
once and without warning. Neither is
it the rule of assassins to tell their VIC
Tins Of their motive. 1t is possible, of
course, that this attack may have been
made by an ignorant, overwrought par
tisan, and it is possible that it may
have been only an ordinary hold-up;
but as to what the real facts are. Of
course we do not know.

and Southwestern railway, under
contract with the president Of the
latter line, H. K. McHarg, providing
that the Louisville and Nashville rail-
way should have the use Of the line.
This was done, the witness said, to
preserve two outlets to the south for
his coal. Mr. McHarg failed to ad-
wise the Louisville and Nashville or
this agreement, he added, and was
very angry when Mr.. Dulaney gave
the information. Rates have now
been arranged. Mr.. Dulaney declared
so the Louisville and Nashville can
not move coal from the Black Noun
tain field south or east from Middles-
boro, a condition barring Black Noun
tain coal from the southern field by
way of the Louisville and Nashville.
A number of similar statements were
introduced by Mr. Dulaney in sup
port of his contention that interlock-
ing directorates in New York arrange
and dictate rates.

Referring to the complexion of the
crowd at the Anderson campaign
meeting, the editor of the Newberry
News and Herald, who was present
says:
There were several hundred wear
ing Blease badges and here and there
YOU could see a cotton bloom as but
ton hole bouquet. Some young LADIES
bore a couple of Smith banners. But
there are a lot of people who object
to wearing the badges of any man.
And badges and cotton blooms do not
always indicate votes. The sentiment
of the Anderson crowd, we should
say, was about equally divided be-
tween Rlease and Smith with possibly
a predominance of Blease supporters:
Put you should remember that all
the cotton mill operatives were at
work and so were many farmers.
