Fifteen “ex-barkeeps” of Savannah

Taft is said to look with favor on
Gov. Fort, of New Jersey as his
running candidate if the governor
can bring that State’s delegation in
to line. A secretary of war joining
hands with a Fort does not auger a
very pacific administration.
Many of the Republican papers are
denouncing the Aldrich bill as an
iniquitous measure. The Republi

not go into the fight under a new

The light against Bryan has been
dropped in Pennsylvania. The Ne

Moses taught the Jews that they
should leave the gleanings of the

of Moses seems the better, though.
The late Bishop Saterlee once said
that living in apartment houses, while
it had many advantages, destroyed
the strong home feeling and to that
extent assisted in bringing about the

creasing.

Atlanta is talking about issuing
one million of bonds to beautify the
city. In the meantime Mr. Hugh T.
Inman has offered to buy a pump
costing $135,000 for the city, trust

It would strike the average common
sense that it would be better to use
some of the proceeds of the pro
posed bond issue to repaying Mr.
Inman rather than toward work of
beauty.
Judge Gray, of Delaware, still men
tioned as a candidate for the presi
dency on the Democratic ticket, does
not believe in the elimination of
state lines by the abolishment of our
dual system of government. Says
he! “This is not a consolidated re
public. No one need wish to see the
map of the United States painted one
color from ocean to ocean, from lakes
to gulf. When that does happen,
which God forbid, the color will be
crimson.”
The Philadelphia North American
believes that the railroad magnates
in Wall street have deliberately plan
ned to throw the country into the
agonies of great railroad strikes so
as to defeat the party- and prevent a
continuance of the Roosevelt poli
cies> With Bryan assured as-the De
mocratic candidate it is very difficult
for a man with only two eyes to see
how the scheme could succeeded. Is
the public to suppose that Bryan is
any less radical than Roosevelt or
Taft?
SELECTION OF COUNTY OFFICERS-
It is not the policy or intention of the Times-Recorder to attempt to
influence voters in favor of any- candidates for the various county offices.
A number of very- good men are offering for them, men who are thoroughly
capable of filling them to the satisfaction of the public, and with credit to
tdemselves. They are all friends of this paper, and it would hardly become
ur> to single out favorites for support in a public w-ay.
It is not improper, how-ever, it appears to us, to lay stress upon the
importance of securing men for county commissioners who are committed
to a progressive policy for the betterment of the conditions throughout
Sumter. Much has been done in the past few years toward the redeeming
of the roads, and toward the maintenance of a better school system. Good
loads are especially dear to the Times-Recorder, realizing, as this paper
does, their vast importance in the upbuilding of both county and city.
When the voters come to make up their tickets they should certainly
bear this fact in mind and support the good road movement by the election
of men who are known to be unreservedly in favor of the continued better
ment of the county roads. This is a public improvement that should appeal
to every man. If Sumter has a Board of County Commissioners made up
of men who believe in better highways, who are known by their past words
and acts to be committed to a policy of continued improvements of this
nature, then Sumter county, will be assured of four years of progress in
this direction.
In so far as the other county offices are concerned, it is not improper to
say that old officers who have filled their offices with intelligence, with
honesty, with due regard to the needs and desires of the public, who have
sought to meet the wishes of their constituents, are generally held to be
entitled to the commendation that is expressed in a re-election.
With an intelligent array of voters such as are registered in this coun
ty, Sumter is never apt. to have other than men of honor, integrity and
capability filling its official positions. It has been so in the past and it
will undoubtedly be so in the future. No county in the state probably has
a more unbroken record of officials who have fully met all the requirements
of their official positions than the county of Sumter.
“UPON WHAT MEAT.”
The Augusta Herald thrashes
around at a tremendous rate because
some citizen might so utterly disreg
ard precedent as to offer to run
against Gov. Smith. It appears espec
ially pained when it wails: “As it has
been the unbroken precedent in this
state for the governor to serve two
terms, a precedent so regularly fol-,
lowed as to make it an unwritten law,
it was not thought that anybody would
announce against him.”
But the worst of the nightmare with
which the Herald is afflicted is that
that hateful Mr. Brow-n is mentioned.
Its like shaking a red flag in front
of a bull. Why, claims the Herald in
substance, that fellow was fired by
Gov. Smith, and of course that forev
er puts a stamp of “counterfeit” on
him.
Further on, to bolster up its candi
date, the paper affirms that “Gov-
Smith is stronger with the people
today than he was w-hen he beat four
candidates.” If the Herald really
believes such a statement, -it has bur
ied his head in the sand, where it
could neither see or hear what is go
ing on.
In another place in the same arti
cle, the Herald says: “Men do some
times enter a hopeless race, for rea
sons that are not made public.” Then
again they enter for reasons which
they publicly announce, as in the case
of Hon. Joseph M. Brown. The in
nuendo in the Herald's remark is not
worth noticing.
There is a good saying about be
ing able to fool some of the people
all the time, and all of the people some 1
of the time, but when it comes to
hoodwinking all the people all the
time, the scheme is a rank failure.
Such a bugaboo as the “second term
precedent” should not be allowed to
be used as a battle axe to slaughter
the state’s best interests. If Mr.
Brown can be induced to enter the
race, the esteemed Herald will be
rudely shocked in its estimate of the
“popularity” of Gov. Smith’ we fear.
HEARST RAPS HIS EDITOR
A few days ago the somewhat un
usual spectacle w'as presented of the
owner of a big newspaper writing a
reproving letter to his editor and pub
lishing it. in his newspaper. Hearst’s
editor —we trust it was not John
Temple—jumped on the recent de
cision of the Supreme Court rather
vigorously.
When the editorial came under the
notice of Hearst, the owner, he wrote
a “letter to the Editor” in which he
took to task his employe for his edi
torial utterances. Hearst said, among
other things: “I personally believe
that laws tending to restrain the
liberties and the freedom of the citi
zen will always operate to the dis
advantage of the weaker citizen.
Therefore these decisions of the Su
preme Court seem to me to be in
accordance with the Constitution, and
not in opposition to the best inter
ests of the working people.”
It has been the custom of Hearst’s
New York papers to attack corpora
tions right and left, and the poor edi
tor who offended no doubt did so in
the full belief that he was doing his
master’s wish. But he has been over
ruled by the court of last resort in
this case.
FOR BROAD SEABOARD POLICY
Appointments By Receivers Excite
Interest
(Baltimore Sun.)
Interest in the affairs of the Sea
board Air Line Railway in local finan
cial and railroad circles was given a
new impetus yesterday by the announ
cement of the official staff of the re
ceivers. The announcement was re
garded as significant that the policy of
the receivers in handling the property
will be thorough.
The selection of Mr. L. G. Haas as
agent to the receivers and the other
appointments announced appeared to
be received with general satisfaction.
Mr. Haas in retiring from the position
of. assistant general manager of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to take
up his new duties leaves a record that
railroad officials say makes him es
pecially fitted for his new work.
He has been connected with the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads for 20 years and represents
the modern type of railroad officials,
being an engineer by profession and
combining a technical training with a
long practical experience in working
out railroad problems.
Mr. George Hodges, who was named
as assistant agent to the receiver, is
regarded -as one of the promising
graduates of what practical railroad
men call the “Fitzgerald school,” hav
ing served under Mr. Thomas Fitzger
ald when he was general manager of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Mr. C. T. Williams, who was ap
pointed secretary to the receivers, is
another young railroad man whose
experience has been largely in the
South.
The selection of Messrs. Price,
Waterhouse & Co. was said to have
been influenced by the fact that they
are chartered accountants well known
not only in this country, but in Eu
rope, and identified w ith many import
ant railroad reorganizations. It is
understood that at the request of his
colleagues, Messrs. R. Lancaster Wil
liams and E. C. Duncan, the other two
receivers, Mr. S. Davies Warfield con
sulted many railroad executives in re
gard to the selection of men to carry
out the broad program announced at
the beginning of the receivership.
This, it is declared, will mean going
into all figures and examining exist
ing methods of handling the property,
developing changes in these methods
essential to success and determinig
by expert examination the physical
needs of the property. It is recog
nized that without such a broad-gaug
ed plan no permanently successful re
organization is obtainable.
It is felt that the growth of the
South and the strategic position oc
cupied by the Seaboard system will
come into full play w-ith the consum
mation of the plans which the receiv
ers have stated In their first official
announcement covering the organiza
tion of their office.
PARROT SAVED CREW
FROM A MANIAC
NEW YORK,. Feb. 25. (Special)
“Hi! Hi! Hi! Look at the Knife,”
shrieked a voice from the bridge of
the Inframba, as she made her way
through the waters of the Med iter
ranean.
It w'as the shriek of a bird, a
strange bird from Japan, w'ith a fair
ly good English education and an ob
servant eye.
A dozen Lascars beneath the bridge
heard the shriek and knew it was a
warning from the minka. Within a
yard of them, unnoticed save by the
minka, was a crazed sailor with a
long weapon, half knife, half sword.
Another instant and some one would
have gone down before the maniac’s
blow'.
Mara Binhomab who has been a
prime favorite with the minka, had
bee* me insane she bb-.i saw him
the bride. With the group beneath
thethe bridge. With eyes fixed on him
the bird watched every movement, and
shrieked the warning just in time to
save his life.
Capt. Evans and Chief Officer Char
les Charters, who were on the bridge
with the minka, then took a hand,
and revolver in hand, began pursuing
the pursuer. Round the deck they
went until at last the man made a
dash for the bridge. Then a body
shot through the air, there was a
splash and a shriek, and then the
mocking laugh of the minka, as it
called “look at him.” But the. Las
car had gone out of sight forever.
LONG HAUL
FOR LUMBER
An Australian corporation has just
received a concession from the Rus
sian government to take out thirty
million feet of timber a year from a
forest in Siberia, nine hundred miles
from Vladivostok, to be delivered in
Melbourne, Australia, approximately
eight thousand miles away, and near
ly three times the distance from New
York to San Francisco.
It is likely that no lumbering oper
ation of"recent years more strongly
illustrates the pinch in the timber
supply in all parts of the world. In
the news of the concession, is the
suggestion of the difficulty that all
countries may have to encounter in
getting the wood which they .need
in the future. Every year timber
cruisers are going further and fur
ther afield and cutting trees which,
in former times of abundance, they
passed because of the inaccessibility
of the forest.

BLOOD POISON
HUMILIATING-VTLE-DESTRUCTIVE
The first symptom of Contagious Blood Poison is usually a little sore or ulcer,
which is quickly followed by a red rash ou the skin, swollen glands in the
groin, falling hair, ulcerated mouth and throat, and often copper colored
splotches on different parts of the body. As the blood becomes more fully
contaminated with the poison, pustular eruptions and sores break out on
the flesh, and in extreme cases the nerves and bones are attacked and the
finger nails drop off. Then the sufferers find themselves diseased from head
to foot with this humiliating, vile and destructive poison. No other disease
is so highly contagious; many an innocent person has been inoculated by
handling the clothing or using the toilet articles of an infected person.
There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood Poison, and that
is S. S. S. It attacks the disease in the right way by going down into the
circulation, and neutralizing and forcing out
every particle of the poison. It makes the
blood pure and rich, tones up the system,
and completely and permanently cures this
g disease. S. S. S. has cured thousands of cases
of Contagious Blood Poison. Ifyouaresuf-
PURELY VEGETABLE sering with this debasing and destructive
disease begin the use of S. S. S. and get the
poison out of your blood before it permanently wrecks your health. We
have a home treatment book on the disease which we will send free to all
who wish it, and in addition our physicians will give -without charge any
medical advice needed. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
CONVICT ASKED TO
GO BACK TO PRISON
Better Than Jibes of Fel
lows, he Said.
NEW YORK.. Feb. 25.—(Special)—
A story published in a morning pa
per about the desire to return to
Sing Sing on the part of a paroled
prisoner who preferred to spend the
remainder of his sentence inside the
walls rather than to be exposed to
the jibes of his fellow- workmen had
the effect of interesting Commissioner
Wadhams in the case, with the result
that the young man can soon go forth
and seek success under a new name.
The story told how a young, well
set-up man of about 30 years had ap
peared before Magistrate Barlow in
the Night Court Monday evening, and
at his own solicitation was put in the
Jefferson Market Prison over night,
while consideration was given to his
strange plea to be sent back to
Sing Sing.
In June, 1906, O,Connell was con
victed of grand larceny in the second
degree and sent up for a term., of
from one to four years. In Sing
Sing he made a good record. A little
while after his minimum sentence
had expired application was made for
his patole. In October be was parol
ed.
The ex-convict’s parole paper says
that he shall proceed at once to the
place of employment provided for
him; that he shall work steadily, hon
estly, and soberly, and that he shall
make a monthly report to the prison
authorities concerning hfmself, in
cluding his income, expenses, home
and business addresses, and so* on.
O’Connell told Commissioner Wad
ham his fellow- employes soon learned
he was a convict.
“When anybody wanted a butt, I
was it,” he said. “Ex Convict!’ they
would say. And it was true.
“But the changes they would ring
on that word, and the laughing and
jeering they got out of it!
“And I didn’t want to do anything
to put another prison brand on me—
it was hell.”
O'Connell wiped his forehead and
twisted his hands together. He had
quit work tw-o weeks ago, he said,
unable to endure the torture of his
position. No one was watching him.
He wanted to go far away, to Pan
ama, where no one knew him, and
he could begin all over -again. He
could have left the country eas
ily enough.
Couldn't Run Away
That was what he w-as considering
he said, during the two w-eeks that he
walked the streets and thought. But
he w-as bound by his word not to
run away; he was only out on parole.
If he should run away that would be
another black mark against him. And
for that reason, he said, he walked
desperately into the Night Court on
Monday and said to the Magistrate:
“Send word to Sing. Sing. Tliey
will come and get me.”
The* commissioner asked O,Connell
if he wouldn’t prefer to go to Hope
Hall, the home near Tarrytown which
is run by the American Volunteers
for ex-convicts. O’Connell said he
would. There he will steady himself
and start out again, and “needn’t then
give his right name to any one on
the outside.”
