 UncOvers Plot Of Radicals,
 I'm Train Wreck Investigation

Railroad officials said that the Michigtn Central epress train had been deliberately ditched by plotters. Spikes were removed from ties and rails loosened, they said.
 The epress train was running five hours late and an hour ahead of one of the fastest Nv York-Chicago linn iteds. It is believed the p1otters planned to wreck the passenger train.
 The raid on Fosters headquarters was planned after hurried communi- cations with authorities in other rail centers, where disorders have occur red and where meetings of railroad men have been address by radical leaders.
 Reports of a dozen meetings ad- dressed by Foster in cities of the middle west, were received, the states s attorney said.
 Evidence Seized.
 Detectives battered down the doors of the leagues offices. Inside they seized letter files, card indexes, books. Trotzky, Soviet leaders of Russia. The evidence filled a truck.

FORD PLANT CLOSES DOWN.
- -
About $4,000 Men Thrown Out OF
Employment.

Detroit, Sept. 16.-Henry Ford's
industrial strike against what he
charges as excessive coal prices was
in full swing tonight and approx
mately $4,000 of his workmen in the
Detroit district were out of jobs for
an indefinite period. Thousands OF
others in assembling plants through
out the country alse were ordered to
Law down their tools. In addition, a
score or more of small industrial
concerns here dependent upon the.
Ford Motor Company for orders were
.preparing to close. These employ
upwards of 10000 men.
The Highland Park and River
Rouge plants of the Ford Motor Com
pany, employing about 10000 men
were deserted tonight save for COM
parative small force that will be re-
tanned to keep cook ovens warm.
Although many of them were smil-
ing, the majority Of the Ford work,
ers who passed through the gates OF
the Highland Park plant after turn
ing in their tools today, expressed
concern over the shutdown. Their
foreman had handed down to them
advice from Mr.. Ford to buy as little
coal as possible and cut their living
expenses to a minimum. Many or
the workers were met by wives and,
children, eager to learn how long the
heads of families would be unem-
ployed.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The South is Congratulated on Re-
cent "House Cleaning"

Thomas W. Hardwick's service as
governor of Georgia is to terminate
in the same way as his service as
United States senator was ended in
1919, through the refusal of the DEM
ocratic voters of his state to grant
him a denomination. In the primary
this week he was overwhelmingly
beaten by Clifford L. Walker. That
the Ku Klux Klan and Senator Tom
Watson, with whom he was previous
ly in alliance, had hand in his de-
feat does not detract from Georgia's
good fortune in being rid of Hard
wick. For after being repudiated so
decisively his chances of returning
to the senate, on which he had set
his hopes, are slight.
In shelving Hardwick, Georgia has
closely followed the recent example
of other southern states. In the last
few weeks the south has profted by
the opportunity to eliminate three
politicians of the worst type it has
produced.
Vardman, of Mississippi, Cole
Blease. of South Carolina, and Hard
wick, of Georgia, are all Of the same
category of demagogues. Their ca
pacity for working mischief in politics
and in public Office has been so often
demonstrated that their states are to
be heartily Congratulated on having
disowned them. The south is clean
ing house, and in doing so it de-
serves we'll of the country.-New

Governor-Elect Issues Statement OF

Thomas C. Mcleod, nominated for
governor of South Carolina in Tues
days Democratic primary, issued the
following statement, Immediately fol-
lowing assurance of his majority.
"My first impression is a feeling of
profound gratitude to the men and
women of South Carolina for their
jealous and unselfish support during
the campaign.
'*To the people of South Carolina,
I desire to say that the deep interest
shown in the issues of the campaign
makes the result an endorsement

Gated than of myself

me lies, to see that the affairs of the
state are economically managed. We
are living in times Of depression and
the hand of adversely falls heavily
upon many. There must, therefore,
be a fair and just discrimination OF
taxation. We must not take a back
ward step and fair and just distri-
button of the burden means the
maintenance Of efficiency.
"South Carolina has no foreign
element, our white citizenship are all
one people with the same traditions,
hopes and aspirations, and I sincerely
trust that there will be no lines of
division, but that together we may
work out the destiny Of vigorous
and valorous commonwealth.

ORANGEBURG HAS PISTOL DUEL
Policeman and John Lloyd Wound
Each Other.

Orangeburg, Sept. ia shooting
scrape here this afternoon near the
corner of Middleton and Amelia
streets about block from the heart
of the city, resulted in the serious
wounding of Policeman F. G.. Can
non and John Lloyd. Both parties
are white and we'll known in this city.
The shooting took place about 6:4o
D. m. A large crowd gathered at
once and the bodies of both men were
rushed to the Orangeburg hospital.
The cause of the shooting is not
known exactly, but it is reported
on the streets Mr.. Cannon sought to
arrest Lloyd. When Mr.. Cannon ap-
preached him, he told Cannon not to
put his hands on him, and drew his
pistol, it is alleged. About this time
Mr.. Cannon grabbed his pistol and
both parties began shooting. 1t was
reported that both participants were
shot six times but this couldn't be
verified. 1t seems that Mr.. Cannon is
the more serious shot at this writing
and it can't be told now whether
either or both will recover. Mr.. Can
non was shot once in the chest while
Lloyd was shot in the face and arms.
Mr.. Cannon is we'll known locally and
has a family and has served the city
efficiently as an officer. Llyod has
been in trouble before.

FLAMES DESTROY HOUSE.
w. NJ. Ritter, of Near Cope, Suffers
Heavy Loss.

Cope, Sept. 13.-Wm. Ritter lost
his dwelling and contents Monday
night by fire. Mr.. Ritter lives about
one and three-quarter miles west OF
Cope, near the A. C. L. railway, and
was awakened from his sleep by the
roar of the flames just after 2 o'clock.
He called his little son Henry, ran
out into the yard and fired his pistol
to arouse the neighbors, and dashed
into the house to try to save some
thing. His first thought was to get
the piano out if possible, but upon
opening the door saw the flames com
ing through the ceiling, he turned
his attention to other things and
grabbed a trunk, and as he turned to
enter, the rafters fell, breaking in
the burning ceiling. One trunk was
all he saved, everything else being
total loss. The only theory so far, is
that rats caused, the fire.
Mr.. Ritter had a little insurance
but that will not replace his loss.
One night last week rogue broke
into a tenement house on w! M
Hughes's place, and robbed one roos-
ter of all Of his wearing apparel, and
upon leaving set fire to the bed. The
bed being Of iron, the bed clothes
we're consumed, the ashes falling on
the floor, but not heat enough to
catch the flooring The thief took
that plan to hide his deviltry. He
was tracked by his barefoot tracks
near to Binnaker's bridge towards
Denmark, but has not yet been ap-
pretended. Two parties were miss
ing from their work the next morning
and it lies between one or the other
or both. -
