KNIFED BY HIS FRIENDS, i His friends all over the' State re gret very much Judge Frank Carter's ' ' -withdrawal from the race for the at torney generalship. It was Tery gen erally believed that he was practical ly sure of the nomination, despite . the fact that he was so situated that he could make no personal campaign and despite the further fact that he had several men actively in the field against him. To many it looks very much like the big ".ring" politicians came to the conclusion that Carter -was going to win and they dldnt ' -want him to.- . It looks as if they ; feared that this man. who has fought 'the liquor interests and other crimes In high places almost single-handed and alone, would be a menace to somebody. ; ' So . at some secret "council of war", no doubt, it was decreed that Carter's head must fall. .And he was knifed from the very quarter from which he had a right to expect hearty co-operation and support ' ' , Why' was Manning brought out to . oppose him at the eleventh hour? , Cecause he was the one man in the Etate, so the politicians believed (and they were correct), for whom . Carter would, step down- and out. Vanning had befriended Carter, had volunteered bis services to defend tho Judge from the recent charges brought against him. Carter was - exonerated by the courts. He doubt less conferred with his lawyers, the firm of Manning, Kitchln A Everett, about his candidacy for the attorney generalship. If what is generally reported is true he did confer with them and had their tacit if not out- '. spokes t approval and promise of .support.. He wanted the vindication ' which ' election to office would give him. He at least had a right to ex- - pect from them no opposition. Man ning was-brought out and Carter was forced to the wall. He did for , Manning what Manning had gone out of his way not to do for him tnanl- ' rested gratitude for friendship. Many of Carter's friends over the - State criticise him for letting the "ring", crush him. It has been said by more than one that, had Carter, Instead of stepping down and out. . resigned the Judgeship and taken the stump in behalf of his candidacy, he could have defeated Manning and all of the half dozen or more others who are aspiring to the attorney generalship. There is,. we believe, no abler judge or more conscientious one on the Su perior Court: bench in the State' to day than Judge Carter. That he can nerve the State better where he is than he could as attorney general we believe also. This belief, howev er, does not keep one from deplor ing the manner in which he has been sacrificed to political fear and greed and the . methods used by the poli ticians to take his political life. It is, in a way. tragic. As has been said before "politics Is a ass"; and Judge Carter and his friends have cause to realize the truth of that statement now more than ever.

He finds a lot of people, he says, who had good intentions but who had never thought of buying goods at home un less almost necessary. He said, "Many people have the idea that the attractive mail order catalogues are truthful and that they will get Just what they order at tne supposed price.

Baseball Team Won Laurels in Pal metto State, Defeating Several College Teams Enjoyable Re- eepuon Debate the 17th. Correspondence of The Gazette. LINWOOD COLLEGE. April 6. The Linwood baseball team returned from its successful tour among the leading colleges of South Carolina a few days ago. The first game was not played with a college team, but with Gaff ney's strong league team. Slaughter pitched for Linwood before a large crowd. The game went against Lin wood by a score of 7 to 3, because six league players from Alabama and Georgia league played with Gaffney. Linwood played good ball even though errors on the part of the umpire caused her defeat. The Gaffney players told the Linwood players that they need not be afraid of the college teams which thev were going against for they, the Linwood crowd, played excellent ball. This statement was verified by the fact that Linwood defeated one of the biggest colleges in that part of South Carolina, the Presbyterian College at Clinton. Linwood simply walked away" with that college be cause her score was three times as great as that of the opposing team. To make matters plain Linwood showed that she possesses one of the best baseball teams in this sec tion of the State. The leading newspapers of the Palmetto State had to admit, after Linwood matched and came out with good records a- galnst the Presbyterian, the New berry and Erskine College teams and another of a smaller institution, that tahey were old stagers in the baseball game. what makes the honor so great is the fact that the Linwood team had the misfortune to lose her catcher, Carpenter, who had to come home because he dis located his ankle. Besides this, one or two of the Linwood boys forced themselves to play under physical exhaustion. If the Linwood boys could have had a little more rest be tween each game it is probable that no Palmetto school could have won a victory over her. There was a big Junior reception given in the lobby of Gaston Hall last Monday evening. A large crowd attended and all invited went away with the satisfaction of know ing that it was one of the best re ceptions of the season. The Bryanlinian-Wilsonlan debate will be held on Monday night, April 17th. The affirmative will be de fended by Messrs. P. S. White and S. R. Neill. The negative will be represented by C. G. Castles and J. L. Shannon. A man said to me the other day: Mn James you've not only helped my business but youVe girai my family a better idea of living. Believe me, I appreciate it." Stowe-Baber Co. The New Grocery Store Everything Fresh and New Mr. Hahn said, "It causes them to think and to realize that to buy at home is a means of obtaining larger salaries, a better city and a general benefit to all. The people who have always bought at home are the best witnesses we have that Gaston can furnish the same goods at a cheaper price or better goods at a better price than the mall order houses. A town that is good enough for a person to live In is good enough for his trade. Interviews with other trade-at- ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE. Having qualified as administrator of the estate of J. P.
