W^ere Is the Silver Dollar?
Wednesday, Aug. 7, 1912.
OUR TICKET.
For President:
William Howard Taft.
For Vice President:
Jamcb S. Sherman.
Most people are glad to learn
that Mr. Wilson will not indulge
in personalities. We will wait
and see.
Looks like most of the cam
paigning this fall will be done by
Teddy, since Wilson has decided’
not to “stump’’ the country.
Taft having made the statement
soon after his nomination that he
would reserve the dignity of re
maining at the white house dur
ing the campaign.
What has become of the silver
dollars? Their disappearance
from circulatiiijn has been gradu
al, but so effective that now peo
ple rarely carry the sinkers
round in their pockets. It is
rarely that the banks pass out
silver dollars since clean money
has beoome generally available
and thjB paper bills'are mu ch pre-
ferred^ Money is easier to c^-
ry these days than when Popul
ism was in flower and the six-
teen-td-one dollar was thrseaten-
ing to tear holes in the pockets
of the country. And anothfep.
step that will be possibly in the
way of adding convenience to the
currency, is a proposition to cut
down the size of paper bills. The
Nashville Democrat says the
Treasury notes and bills now in
circulation measure about eight
and a quarter inches ‘in length
and three inches in width and it
is proposed to cut them down to
measure six inches in length and
fewo and one.half in width. The
two reasons for suggesting this
change are: First, that the
smaller bills will be much more
Convenient to handle and, sec
ond, the reduction in Size will save
an expense in the Government
in producing them of an estimat
ed amount of over $600,000 a
year. This is an item worth
saving, especially when ,the
change in size would prove oy
^public convenience. —Charlotte

Against this spurious, and des»
tructiye progressivisme Mr. La
Foliette protests vsdth
reason, It has no motive higher
than a grudge and a grievance.
A party in ruins wiTl have as
little need of progressives bs of
stand-patters.
Civilized and Christianized
America, who boasts of her en-
lighted citizenship, pomp, pride,
and chivalry is hushed and en
shrined in shame when Governor
Blease and Judge Jones of South
Carolina take the stage of action.
After breathing bloody murder
for weeks the men meet at Aiken.
Everybody trembles in fear and
rush for the double purpose of
of getting out of the way of gun
fire, while at the same time in
their imagination they are wit
nessing a scene of slaughter.
There-was no slaughter of any
thing except the English langu
age.
“That’s the foulest lie,” cried
the “Judge" “that ever passed
the lips of a human being”
‘ ‘When you stick the gaffs into
a dunghill,” gelled Blease, “the.
dunghill will be sure to cry out!”
These are but a few of the foul
and vulgar e'^xpressions which
passed, the others we dare not
publish lest our scruples for de
cency be lost to sight.

Declares He Shot Himself
La Foliette Repndiates Roosevelt.
Senator La Foilette, first and
boldest of the Republican progr
essives, issues this warning ag
ainst the party-seekers now pro
moting a third term:
It seems to me that the high
est obligation of real progressive
Republicans in every State is to
maintain their or^ization and
continue to fight within the lines
of the Republicah party for pro
gressive principles, policies and
candidates. No aid or encourag
ement should be given to a third-
party plan to divide the progres
sive vote and destroy the progre-
ssive Republican movement.
No break should be permitted in
the progressive ranks which will
endanger, the election of any true
progressive Jlebpulican any
where.
The champion of a cause,' Mr.
La Foilette subordinates every
thing to th^ cause. The champ
ion of a person, Mr. Roosevelt
subordinates everything to the
person. La Foilette’s successies
have always ment progressive Re
publican successes. Roosevelt’s
success can mean nothing more
than the success of Roosevelt and
the incens-burners who surroun
ded him.
Senator La Foliette speaks
advisedly when he refers to the
third party as a menace to the
progressive movement. Progr€“-
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 1—Outlining
Daisy Grace’s defense in
her tri .1 iur attempting to 'kill
her hcisband, Eugene, the wo
man's counsel today told the jury
that Grace recieved a bullet
wound during a scuffle with his
wife, after a quarrel over the
sale of the woman’s property.
The attorney decided Grace
tried to shoot his wife, after
choking her' and during the
scuffle,, which followed, the
weapon was discharged. The
attorney declared that Grace
ftnade his wife leave her home be
cause he-did not think he was
badly hurt and he feared he
would be disgraced if it became
known he was shot in a “nigger i
row” with his wife.
“The state’s theory that Grace
was shot during the night ori
early in the. morning is utterly
untrue,” said Attorney Branch.
We will prove he was shot after
11 o’clock in the moriiing; that
he got up that morning, wrote
a check, and talked over ihe
pheUe as late as 10 o'clock. It
was ridiculous to say she married
Grace and tried to get rid of him
for his money. She had given
him between fifteen and twenty
thousand dollars in one year and
he was going to Philadelphia to
sell her property to get money
for himselt wnen the shooting
occurred. W e are going to sho\^
the whole miserable facts. The
truth is, Grace wanted to get his
wife out of town first. Mrs.
Grace suspected he had an en
gagement with another woman.
She so accused him, and said she
would take back the power of
attorney she gave him to sell her
property. • He cursed her, threat
ening to kill iier, and grabbed
his revolver. In the scuffle, the
revolver was discharged. Grace
was shot. Grace made his wife
leave the house, witho>Jt sum
moning a physician, and made
his wife promise she would say
nothing about it.”
The lawyer charged that the
alibi letters were written by
Grace himself.
