Today marks the 236th anniversary
of the landing of William Penn IN
America. Shortly afterward he bought
most OF the region now included in the
city limits and reached by the Paoli,
Wawa. Chestnut Hill and other locals
for the approximate contents of a coun-
try general store.
The Indians seemed satisfied. however,
most likely because the purchase price
in cluded twenty fathoms of strong
water That much strong water ought
to buy block or two in the heart of the
city even today. Anyhow. the Indians
gave three cheers for pemm anu went
home figuring out how much they would
have II they could sell the les; OF North
America at the same price.

sections of the map of the new world,
wherever that was, to his creditors, who
had no comeback.

GEORGE WARREN
A Few Quotations From
Speeches Made by Warren

States Rights.-"Because I stand
for the Declaration of independence,
because l advocate the Constitution of
Jefferson, because l repeat the identi-
cal words Of Calhoun, beclrse ] dare
raise my voice in behalf Of The identi-
cal principle for which my father
fought in the COS, the doctrine OF
States Rights, am unjustly charged
with being opposed 10 prohlbir:on.-
Democratic Convention ut Hampton.
Il stand squarely for economy; I
believe in reorganization and ccordi-
nation of governmental burdens and
departments; encouragement CT those
things which tend to get Congress
back to pre-War basis of expenditure
of the peoples money should be giv-
en-; our present tax laws should he
amended to remove those features
which are oppressive to the people
and to industry. .'-Attitude expressed
In Columbia.
Labor.-''The voice of Labor is de-
manding fair consideration, fair re-
clsions fairly arrived at, of all p"opos-
ais which concern Labor. The in
sidious impression that Labor in poll
tics will demand more than that is
very properly resented by both Labor
and those who seek it's vote. 1t does
not ask discrimination in favor of
Labor, but rather than it be not dis
crlminated against. My attitude may
be summarized by the words Fair aid
Friendly. y."--Yemassee, Labor Day.
Farming Interests.-'I endorse the
organization, activities and accom-
of the American Cotton
Association and have pledged my CO.
operation. 1t has accomplished more
for the farmer in six months than the
Congress has done for farming inter-
ests in ten years. IS. G. Cotton As

ROBBER KILLS STORE KEEPER.
Charleston Groceryman Dies From
Blows On Head.

Charleston, Aug. "a dastardly
murder, followed by robbery, oc-
Cured early this morning in a groc-
ery store at America and Reid
streets. where John H. Schroeder, the
proprietor, was found by customer
about 8 O'Clock lying on the floor
with his skull crushed. Several hum
dred dollars was missing, and ham,
mer nearby was the weapon used, 1t
is believed, to strike him down. His
assailant escaped Mr.. Schroeder was
still living when discovered and was
hurried to Roper hospital. He died
there a half hour later. His custom
was to keep considerable cash on
hand. not dealing much with banks,
and every Monday morning at the
store he paid out several hundred
dollars to collectors for wholesale
houses with whom he dealt. The
police are working on the theory
that some one familiar with this Gus
tom perpetrated the murder and rob-
berry. Mr.. Schroeder was about so
wears of age and is survived by his
widow. He came to Charleston from
Walhalla 25 years ago, and relatives
there survive him. He was a nephew
of J. D. Capplemann of this city and
was highly respected in this COM

Our Country.

/ One of the South Carolina candi-
dates for United States senate this
year is calling the attention of our
people to one Of the most vital is
sues that cOnfronts the American peo-
pie today.
1t is the issue Of states rights
against a centralized federal govern
ment.
State sovereignty is absolutely nee
essary to protect the rights and libec-
ties of the people under our form Of
government. The founders of this re-
public so recognized it and it is ap-
parent now.
No one will deny that our govern
in Washington.
The sovereignty of the states is
gradually being undermined and talk
en- away.
A continuance of this practice will
inevitably and absolutely lead to an
autocracy in this country.
Will you sit passiyely by and sur
render what liberties you have left
Of those your forefathers fought, suf-
fered and died to obtain for you and
turn your children over to al auto
cratic government?
If we surrender these liberties now
our children can only regain them by
revolution.
We say the Capitalization of our
government has gone far enough.
Let us put stop to it by Il peaceful
use of our ballots rathe: than to have
cur children stop it by a revolution.
The Easley Progress.
George Warren is going t. be very
much in the running for the United
States senate. His doctrine of states

What Others Say
About George Warren

States.
George Warren is man of ablll-
ty, courage, common sense and ster-
ling worth. He is deep student OF
political economy, yet understands its
practical application. His knowledge
of government affairs acquired by
close study peculiarly fits him for the
office of United States Senator. We
fear to express in these columns the
high regard we have for George War
rem as man, as lawyer and as
statesman. However, we can and do
commend him to the people with the
assurance that, in the event of his
lection, South Carolina will be proud
of her young son.
eve are not given the power OF
prophecy, but knowing the man and
his ability, his ideas of government,
his regard for the Constitution, his
beliefs in the doctrines of Calhoun,
we are convinced that George Warren
by the possession of those qualitlca-
tions and by the power of his person
atty will be elected. Our State can
not afford to refuse the services OF
such a man."

been growing in popular favor since
, his entry into the race for the United
States Senate.
A few weeks ago the prediction was
freely INDUCED that Senator Smith
would defeat histhree opponents in
the first race.
Now it is generally conceded that
there will be a second race and that
George Warren will be in it.
In a second race with Senator
Smith, the advantages will be with
Warren.
The boasted Smith strength is fast
dwindling away. 1t has largely been
a myth.
Not all the farmers are Smith men.
This is the day of the young man.
Warren is young, but he has re-
cord of achievment behind him.
Smith is no longer young, but there
is little to which he can point, de-
spite his long years in the United
States Senate, as his accomplishment
for the public good.-Aiken Standard.
States Rights.
There can be no doubt but that
even the casual student of political
history can detect that the federal
government is steadily infringing
upon states rights. Particular in
stances are pointed out by Mr.. War
rem, candidate for the United States
Senate. We are among those who do
not like the idea. The states should
be free to regulate their own affairs.
The nineteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States
stands a mighty good chance Of be-
coming operative. Only one more
state is required to ratify the We
mans suffrage amendment, and the
| Governor of Tennessee has called q
special session of the legislature in
his state which will consider this
amendment. If Tennessee ratitles the
nineteenth amendment, then he Will
have Woman's suffrage and the in
dividual states cannot help them
selves. We believe each state should
| be allowed to regulate this matter
| independent of the federal govern
ment. If the people of this state
want woman suffrage they should be
allowed to adopt it for themselves. II
they are opposed to it they should not
have it thrust upon them. In various
ways the federal government is IN
| fringing upon states rights and the
| tendency in this direction should be
checked.-The Wateree Messenger.
