CAROLINA URGED
TO PURGE NAME
Os SHANE
Chairman of Primary Probers
Asks the Aid of People in
Clearing Shame.
COLUMBIA. S. C., Sept. 11.—The
people of South Carolina are called
upon to purge their state of the shame
and stigma that has fallen upon it as a
■ esult of the scandal and alleged fraud
mowing out of the recent state primary
~ a statement issued by W. F. Steven
.. n of Cheraw, chairman of the com
mittee having in charge investigation
~f alleged irregularities in the primary.
Already several thousands of dollars
have been donated by the public to
carry on the probe.
Chairman Stevensen, in his state
ment. acknowledges that the task be
fore him and his assistants is a mam
moth one and he calls upon the people
nnd press of the state for aid. He asks
the papers to publish club rolls and
asks the people to study these, and if
any instances of fraud are detected to
teport to the committee. He also calls
for funds with which to pay the ex
penses of the investigation.
To Clean Up Muddle in Two Weeks.
That the present muddle in which
South Carolina finds herself will be
cleared up within two weeks, but that
within that time the committee of
seven appointed from the state execu
tive committee to make a thorough in
vestigation of the fraud allegations will
have as much to do as any seven men
could possibly do in a fortnight, is the
statement of Mr. Stevensen. He prom
ises to let the people know in two
weeks the official result of the recent
primary or else let them know’ what the
committee has done. Tn effect, he says
that he and his committee will let the
people know whether the first primary
nominated anybody and will unearth
the charges of fraud or else will report
that they failed to accomplish these
ends and give their reasons why.
Committee Too Buey For Meeting.
The meeting of the committee, which
had been called for today, was called
off. the chairman stating that the com
mittee has too much work to do to be
coming to Columbia again with no defi
nite end in view. He has divided the
committee into two divisions, one to
work in the eastern part of the state
and one In the western, and these are
now at work hunting for fraud. As
soon as it is deemed necessary the
chairman will call a meeting of the
whole committee and ascertain the
progress of the work.
Each division of the committee of
seven has employed a force of assis
tants. clerks and stenographers anti
these are hard at work comparing club
rolls with poll lists, tabulating returns,
comparing rolls of one club with an
other and examining affidavits and
'ther papers showing instances of
fraud, and one of the most unusual
tasks ever yet undertaken in the state
la under way.
Funds for the Investigation are pour
ing Into the office of Wille Jones, a
local banker and treasurer of the
state committee, for the defraying of
the expenses of the investigation. The
people have been called upon to con
tribute to the cause of the salvation
of the good name of South Carolina
democracy and the purity of the bal
lot, and the responses are hearty. Al
ready several thousand dollars have
been sent In.

FOR PIRATE GOLD
——
With Crew They Sail for Cocos
Island. Seeking SIOO,OOO.- !
000 of Hidden Treasure.
I Li MOT TH. ENGLAND. Sept. 11.—A
modern crew of argonauts has set sail
from Plymouth, bound for Cocos island,
seeking a horde of pirate treasure
amounting to more than $100,000,000.
which i ( s said to be hidden on the’lsland.
The treasure-seeking expedition is
headed by Miss Harry Till and Miss
Genevieve Davis These young women
visited the Cocos Islands last year, and
claim at that time to have ascertained
the exact spot where the treasure is hid
den
Cocos island is In the Pacific ocean
and lies about 560 miles southwest of
Panama
The great treasure that it is supposed
to harbor, and which has caused two
young women to journey thousands of
miles over the water, is thought to have
been hidden in a cave in the island more
than a hundred years ago by pirates,
and represents the tributes that scores
of treasure ships were made to pay to
the buccaneers of the sea. as well as gold
and jewels taken front the Jesuits when
they were expelled from Peru.

SCOFF NO-KISS!NG RULE
The art of kissing as practiced in
railroad stations, long considered cus
tom and good form. ma.y be tabooed if
Switzerland's moral reforms acquire a
vogue in this country equal to the one
accorded its pet political theory, the
Initiative and referendum.
Gatemen at the Terminal station are
aghast today over the lengths the
mountain republic has gone to abolish
public kissing, and the further an
nouncement that America may follow
Switzerland's example
The Swise government the other day
passed a law prohibiting kissing in
railroad stations and providing a heavy
fine for each offense.
Thus runs the Swiss law as posted
in all stations:
Considering abuses which have
resulted, honorable strangers are
requested not to kiss each other on
platforms or trains Signed: The
Society for the Protection of Girls
Traveling Alone.
"If they put this law over in Georgia
they will heve to detail a platoon of
police to enforce it at the Terminal
station," said Gateman No. 1.
"Why we can't keep them from get
ting through the gates and continuing
the pastime all the way down the stairs
to the train sheds, let alone stop the
kissing
"Such a law would never work here.

Atlanta is a progressive and prosperous
city and in a city of such accomplish
ments kissing has just got to be. At
any rate, I would hate to be the man
who tried to stop it.”
Gatemen who have worked elsewhere
are authority for the statement tha'
kissing in railroad stations is neither
more general nor promiscuous in At
lanta than in other cities.
A second gateman called into the
discussion looked at the matter phil
osophically.
"This anti-kissing is the idea of
cranks and, like all their Ideas, im
practicable. Kissing didn't start with
this generation, and this generation is
not going to abolish It. l.et these anti
kissers take a walk down here on one
of our big days and get an eye full of
this kissing stuff. He will see that he
could stop it just like he could stop eat
ing or other amusements."
According to the station's attaches,
watching kissing matches Is lhe only
excitement they have. its abolition
would not only work a hardship on the
traveling public, but would rob rail
road employees of their one joy in life.
It can be safely asserted that if any
society for the protection of girls trav
eling alone starts an antl-kfssing-in
railroad-stations agitation in Atlant?
they will find eight gatemen at the Ter
minal station strenuous opponents.

Berlin Post Says It Is to Na

BERLIN. Sept. 11.—The Berlin Post,
the leading Nationalist paper, in an
editorial article on England and Ger
many in American public opinion, says:
' Americans are always very friendly
to Germany, and they also know how
I England stands with Germany. The
United States and Germany are the
looming nations, and they are well
aware that England is now In full
decadence socially.
"Social decadence must lead to polit
ical decadence, as is always the case In
history. On the other hand. Americans
know that if the world's peace is pre
served it will not be by England, but
only by the German kaiser, therefore,
there is no reason why any 111 feeling
should he created between Germany
and the United States."
The Post urges the German press not
to join "English howling about Pan
ama" It continues;
"England always has been defeated
by American diplomacy. Conditions
will be all the better for Germany, in
relationship with America, if they get
worse for England. Germany tsf tired
of stooping before gngland anil taking
her chestnuts front the fire. We must
resist England in every instance, even
if England wants to resort to force If
Gei many sticks at America's stile in
the present conflict, war will be avoid
ed and England will only sustain one
more diplomatic blow."

“Flippant and insincere prattling of

Women who bear children and re

to use it. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes pliant and elas

nature is expanding, prevents numb

being thus prepared by Mother’s

may not be safely met. Mother's i

September.
Ro«h Hashanah, or the Jewish New
Year, as it is commonly and recently
known, falls on Thursday, and, follow
ing the ancient custom, the day is
counted from sunset to sunset, so the
initial services of the New Year will be
observed in the temple at South Pryor
and Richardson streets tonight.
As the closing weeks of December are
the holidays of the Christian-, so the
closing weeks of September constitute
the holidays of the Jew. Following the
New Year conies the most sacred of
all Jewish holy days. Yom Kippur. the
Day of Atonement, falling this year on
Saturday. September 21. After the sol

Wednesday, September 25, and closing
Thursday. October 3.
Strangely like SuCcoth and Atzereth.

Services in Atlanta will be held in
