Not A Chance To Be

There seemed to be no chance for
our salvation. We could see the car
rushing with increasing velocity.
Twenty feet from us it jumped the
track and we were unhurt. My COM

MANY TALKEDOF
FOR LEGISLATURE
Visit of Hardwick Here
Starts Politics To
Stirring

Sumter county politics began to
simmer Sunday wi the appearance
here of Thomas w. Hardwick, candi-
date for governor. Up to that time
little has been said of the candidates
for legislature, but today there were
a number of conferences held, and
several citizens are being discuss
ed for Sumter's two places in the
General Assembly.
1t is definitely stated that E. Tim
norman, one of the present repre-
sentatives will decline to again be
candidate, and Stephen Pace has not
yet committed himself. His friends,
however, are active in his behalf, and
it appears probable that he will again
make the race.
To succeed Representative Tim
norman, Gordon Howell, of Ameri-
Gus; Sam A. Rodgers, of Sumter and
John D. Williams, of the 18th dis
trict, are all prominently mentioned,
while it is generally accepted that w.
T. McMath intends to make the race.
W. I. Anderson, of Leslie, is also
being talked of as very available TIM
Der for the legislature, and he is be-
ing mentioned ~ersistently, always
with the qualification that he would
not consent to become a candidate ex-
cept upon the insistence of his friends
Mr.. Anderson, who is cashier of
of the Bank of Leslie, is one of the
most progressive citizens of Sumter
and those who look with favor upon
the idea of having one representa-
tive from the country districts and
one from Americas are most favor
able to his candidacy. He is busy
business man, however, and it is
rather uncertain that he would con-
sent to enter the race.
Gordon Howell, who has been con-
sidered for several months as likely
to make the race said this morning
that he had considered entering the
contest seriously, 1T the suggestion
of friends, but as yet had not been
able to determine whether or not he
could spare the time from his prac-
tice to attend the legislative session.
Sam A. Rodgers, who lives in Sum-
ter, has been prominent in politics,
and business here for many years
past, and should he decide to enter
the race, would doubtless receive the
solid support of his friends in all

STILL SEEK BODY OF SHDAREDEVIL
WHO TRIED TO SHOOT NIAGARA FALLS
Warned In Advance by
Man Who Had Done
Feat

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, July ID.
Charles G. Stephens, Of Bristol,
Eng, was killed Sunday when he
went over the horse shoe falls in a
barrel. The cask in which he made
the trip, built of stouc Russian oak
slaves, and bound with steel hoops,
was smashed like an egg shell on Che
jagged rocks at the base of the catar-
ract Pieces of the barrel were pick
ed up near the bank on the Canadian
side, but Stephens body has not been
recovered. River men say that it
may not come to the surface for a
week or ten days.
Stephens was So yea IS old and has
wife and II children in Bristol,
where he was a barber He served
three years in France with the Brit
ish army He had planne to make a
.cctule tour Of England if his trip
was successful.
Bobby Leach, who went over the
Horseshoe Falls in 1911, told Steph-
ems before he started that his trip
would be a failure. Leech predicted
that the barrel would not withstand
the drop of 1853 feet
Leach warned Stephens before the
start that he was doomed to failure
but the Englishman was confident his
cask was strong enough and refused
to listen to Leach's advice. Leach
saw. the start, but appeared very ner-
vous afterward and refused to go
down into the gorge where the barrel
was expected to re-appear.
"a steel barrel is the only safe
kind - said Leach eff | can have
one made by July %, the anniver-
sary of my last trip. I'll duplicate
it."
One theory advanced to account
for Stephens failure is that the ram
parts of rocks at the foot of the falls
blocked the passage and against it
the barrel was pounded to pieces.
1t might have ridden out if the wa
ter had been high as it was when
Leach made his trip.

it is probable that he will again be
candidate for reelection to the
house. This would give him an I'M
interrupted legislative career, which
should give him much prestige in the
event of his election to the senate.
Mr.. Pace has been prominent in the
house during his several years of SER
vice there, and has been instrumental
in the forming and enacting of
number of progressive general laws.

John d. Williams, who lives near

known farmers, and has always been
regarded as leader in the political
affairs of his community.

long entertained the ambition to re-
present Sumter in the Senate of
Georgia, and inasmuch as this coun-
