GIRL SLAVES FREED
BY NEW YORK RAIDS

New York, Sept. 9.-Since the be-
ginning OF the war against white
slavery by the police. District At
torney Swami and his assistant,
James e. Smith, $500 women have
been released from bondage, it was
learned today. Their freedom is a
consequence Of the flight OF more
than 500 men of the type Of Yushe
Botwin. The backbone of the sys-
tenn OF trafficking in women has been
broken by the revelations of the last
few weeks. Practically every wo-
man who has resented the sharing
of sin wages has carried her story to
the district attorneys office.
At the present time the founda-
tion Is laid for the indictment of at
least so OF these parasites upon wo-
n,en.
From the material now in hand IL
lis known that these men who have
operated in groups. that in one in
stance as many as 80 who lived on
women's street earnings banded for
mutual protection and for purchasing
police immunity.

Columbia, Sept. 12.-Standing on
the State house steps at IL O'Clock
last night, Gov. Manning pledged
himself to again enfoce the laws of
the State and urged the healing OF
factional breaches. The governor
a. dressed several thousand person s
after his election had been assured.
Practically all of the throng which
was watching the election returns
flashed by The State. deserted the
street to hear the address by the
governor. Several thousand voters
marched to the State house. headed
by a band, and called upon Gov.
Manning to deliver. the address.
The governor declared that the
people of the State must bury fac
tional differences and live in a
Spirit of brotherhood for the common
good. He said that the constitution
must be upheld and that he would
continue his policy of enforcing.
fairly, all of the Jaws of the State.

ed many callers during the evening,

Alright. Splendid work has been done
by the citizens and their work has
been rewarded by success. If this
victory is assured, and 1 believe it is
assured, we must see that bitterness
and strife are subdued and allayed
and that we must all as citizens OF

mon cause unite in the great work OF
upbuilding our State and in making
higher and better the character OF
our citizens.

GOVERNOR HARRIS
IS SHOWED UNDER
SEVERAL CLOSE RACES
Brown and Price Run Close for
Commissioner of Agriculture.
Con. Hughes Defeated.

Atlanta, Sept 13.-Hugh NJ. Dor
sey VIII go into the Democratic con-
vention at Macon September 26
with big majority of votes pledged
to him for governor as result OF
the State primary yesterday. While
returns today still are incomplets
figures at hand give Dorsey LOT
counties, with a convention vote OF
ESQ; Governor Nat f. Harris, 81
counties, with a convention vote OF
9S; DR.. l.. G.. Hardman, four coun-
ties with 10 delegates, and Joseph
f. Pottle three counties. with a half
dozen delegates also. A majority in
the convention will be 1872 votes. rho
dlherence in the popular vote for
Dorsey and Harris was not great i,
proportion to the delegates gained
that being due to Harris running a
close second in some of the counties
To which the greater number Of dele
gates are allotted.
Several Races Close.
Apparently all State house officers
win exception of Governor Harris
are confident they will be returned
slthdlgh the race between w. 7.
Speer, treasurer, and his opponent.
w. j. Fakes, is close and later re-
turns could put Eakes in the lead
j. j Brown, opposing j. ID. Price
for commissioner of agriculture. also
is running close and victory will rest
with the aspirant claiming the ma
jority of the vote yet to be heard
from. If the present ratio is main
tained Price will win.
NJ. l.. Britain state school super-
intendent, has safe lead over Alex
al der +. Reese.
The Congressman.
In the first congressional district
where Charles u. Edwards declined
to oHer for denomination, ]. w.
OVerstreet apparently has defeated
Peter w. I'M, former president
Of the American Bar association. The
count in the Twelfth district is in
favor of Judge w. F.. Larsen in his
race against Congressman d. M.
Hughes and it will take more com
plete returns to determine the win
nor. Other congressman who had
opposition apparently have been sue
cessful.
Returns in the court of appeals
race, where IA aspirants seek some
one of the three new judgeships
created by the last Legislature, are
so meagre as to make the fortunes
of all doubtful The ticket was un-
usually long and in many instances
election tabulators reported the COM
plcte county vote for governor and
other State offices but left the count
ing OF the court of appeals ballots
until today. With so many in the
race it is predicted that the selec-.
tions will not be determined until the
convention acts
r. f. davidson, incumbent, has a
wide popular and convention vote
lead over his three opponents for
prison commissioner. but returns do
not indicate he will have a majority
in the convention
c. NJ. Gambler and Guyton McLen-
don, incumbents, have safe leads
over James II, Peoples and j. A.
Perry, respectively, for places on the
railroad commission.
