BLOWITZ, PARIS
CORRESPONDENTS
OF LONDON TIMES

Henri Stefan de Blowitz, Par
is correspondent of the London
Times in the '7O's, received nc
regular salary as such is gener-
ally understood. A close per-
sonal friend of Bismarck, Prince
Hob cnlohe, Palnerston and
countless others Of that period,
his services were invaluable and
his own private income made
him entirely independent of tn"
newspaper that was fortunate
enough to enlist him.
The untimely death Of Law
renee Oliphant, who had repra-
sented the '"Timas" in Paris for
several years, left that newspa
per without a correspondent III
what was, without doubt, the
most important center of Eu-
1ope. 1t was then that de Bio
witt. who had been a friend of
Oliphant's, took over the task,
tentatively, of keeping the
Times" posted until such time
as they could secure the serv--
ices of another journalist of
wide enough experience and So
cial prominence to fill the vacan-
cy created by Oliphant's death.
The wide acquaintance that
de Blowitz enjoyed, both politi-
cally and socially, was fully
realized and appreciated by the
Times" and Mr.. Devine, who
was at that time editor, was
to pay almost any
price to retain de BlowitZ. 1t
was thus that he gradually
drifted into the position of Par
is correspondent for L0ndon's
greatest daily, and from time to
time, perhaps two on three
times a year, he was the recip-
lent of an extremely large
check, quite in proportion to the
great services that he was able
to render his paper.
His carriage and four fine
horses we're a familiar sight in
the Bois de Boulogne every
and there are still d
few men living in Europe today
who could recall some Of the
jo journalistic coups that de Blow
t engineered, particularly that
n which he reported the signing
of the Treaty of Paris, after the
Franco-Prussian war, long be-
'ore any other newspaper, and
others on the ''inside." had an
nkling of it.

MOTION PICTURE ACTING

The age-old question, Does

Gated by this newest of arts,

chief of the Gulash Indians, was
no actor, but as a picture star
he outlooked 'em all, and Lottie

Which brings me back to the
original question, Is it, OF 1t is.

Candidates Fire
Last Gun Saturday
Large Crowd on Hand to Hear Their
Last Appeal Before the Election.
Campaign Has Been A
Very Quiet One

Candidates for county offices fired
heir last guns in the campaign in
this city last Saturday morning. A
large crowd was present to hear
them, filling the court house to over
flowing. In the crowd there was quite
a number of women thus evidencing
the fact that already they were be-
ginning to take an interest in politi-
cal affairs of the country now that
they are to exercise the rights Of
suffrage.
Each of the candidates were pres
ent at the meeting, although some
did not speak Those who did were at
their best in an effort to convince the
voters that they were the right men
to fill the positions to which they as
pired.
Twenty minutes was the time al
lotted each candidate for presenting
his claims to the voters, and most of
those who did speak consumed all
the time and a little bit over. The
burden of their remarks was the as
suring of the voters that if elected
they were going to make the very
est officer possible, having at all
times the best interests of the people
at heart. =
Candidates for reelection rs the
Offices they now hold were profuse
in their thanks for the honors that
have already been conferred and loud
in their promises for a continued ad-
herence to~duty in the service of the
peoplsif they would retain them in
oa'te.
Tomorrow is election day and the
indications now are that there will
be large vote polled, this despite the
fact that the campaign has been a
very quiet one and void of all ex-
citement. At the polls tomorrow the
tale will have been told and the long
est pole will bring down the per-
simmons. .lM!

RETAIL PRICES TO
DECLINE SLIGHTLY
Big Slump Will Not Come However
Until Spring-Decline Noted
Already

Washington, Aug. 28.-Retail
prices, in the opinion of the federal
reserve board,/ will decline slightly
during the coming fall and winter
months and will slump next spring
to still low levels.
Summarizing recent changes in
prices of various commodities, the
board in q report last night said thh ht
saving afforded by manufacturers
through lessened cost of materials
and increased efficiency of labor
must eventually be reflected in a
downward movement of retail
prices"
Although a general slight slump
in retail prices during the next few
months was forec4st, the board was
of the opinion that in some lines
higher prices were probable, due "to
the fact that purchases for the au-
tumn and winter trade had already
been contracted for at the old level
of prices" Changes in the prices of
raw materials, which were reported
to have been sharp during the past
few weeks, will not show their ef-
feet, according to the board in re-
tail prices until early next spring.
The borad stated that an impor-
tant downward tendency" in
prices Of all commodities except
food had been evidenced throughout
the country, the reduction in prices
of raw products had specially mark
ed. This general lower of price level
will be indicated a probable drop in
food prices during the coming
months.

cism of lack of clarity.

Moreover, and as an argument
that admits of no qualifying, or de-
NAL there is Governor Cox's record
as governor of Ohio during which
he acted upon SO measures of inter-
est to labor without acting on a
single one adversely to labor.
Understands Needs of Masses
"This is record OF fidelity to
humanity of understanding Of the
needs of the great masses Of the
people that has few equals in Am
erican political life.
"The American LABOR movement
asks from no man or woman
pledge of political conduct. It seeks
to dictate to none. Its field is limit
ed, and properly so, to furnishing to
the rank and file of information up
on which it may base conclusions.
"There is no intention to depart
here from that rule which binds the
officers Individually as we'll as col
lectively in serving the great labor
movement. But it would be a sad
and unforgivable remissness OF
duty in this crucial hour were the
facts not presented with the utmost
freedom and completeness.
"With the workers of America
rest the right of deciding for which
candidate they shall vote. AS they
it be we'll and wisely
or with a disregard for the facts OF
life as they are-they will deter
mine to a, large degree the welfare
and progress of the working people
of. our republic in the years just

- DIES OF WOUNDS
Policeman Shot Tuesday at Cam
paign Meeting.-Ernest Ashley
In Anderson Jail.

Anderson, Aug. 2S.-Arthur
Hughes, the young policeman WIN
was shot Tuesday in Honea Path, af-
ter the campaign meeting, died this
morning. Ernest Ashley is in the An
derson county Jail charged with
shooting Mr.. Hughes.
Before Mr.. Hughes died he made
a statement concerning the shooting,
which he declared dated back to a
time when Joe NJ. H. Ashley, former
sheriff of Anderson county, made him
an offer of Buick automobile and
5000 a month to dispose Of whiskey
for him, and that threats had been
made against him. Mr.. Ashley, when
asked about the matter, said that this
was only joke between him and Mr.
Hughes.
When Mr.. Hughes realized that his
condition was critical he told his wife
that he did not consider Mr.. Ashley's
offer joke, and that Mr.. Ashley had
repeated it to him several times. he
also made a statement practically to
the same effect to the doctor in at
tendance. It is said that his last
words were: "They said they'd get me
and now they have done it."
M. Hughes leaves wife and four
small children. He was just % years
old. and has always been peaceful
citizen. He married Miss Maud Boyce
The funeral was held Sunday from
the First Baptist church at Honea
Path, conducted by the Rev. B. Il.
Harris of Greenville, an uncle Of the
deceased.
Just before his death, according to
a brother-in-law of Officer Hughes,
he said the statement he had made
was a true statement and not joke
as claimed by Mr.. Ashley. The last
words of the dying man were:
"They said they'd get me and now
they have got me at last" He re-
peated this several times, until he
became unconscious and died.
Inquest Today
A coroner's jury was empanneled
Saturday, and they viewed the body.
The witnesses summoned to appear
at the inquest which was to be held
this morning at IL o'clock.
Charge Now Changes
Ernest Ashley, the young man
who was held in the county jail on
the charge of assault and battery
with intent to kill, is now held on a
murder charge and will have to face
this charge in the next court. Ash
lev has never made any statement
relative to the affair.
