HAPPENINGS OF INTER EST OVER THE STATE. Speakers Diseuse Problems of Most ohandislng; Governor Harvey Talke of Citizenship. aOlumbia.-The Arst ann 40- t vention of the south Carolina Retail Nierohaats Assodiation was called te ( Drder by J. W. Kirkpatrisk, of Green vine, president of the organisatlo. The dominant note sounded in the addresses was one of caution, esp& ially caution in buying. The neot years will bring rewards to retaileus, but care and oastim must be eereis. e4, -especially in buying, it was said time and again and the sentiment' seemed to meet with a hospital recep tion. The convention, which opened here was the first the association has 3 had, and for that reason was of W ticular interest. About forty mem bers were in attendance when the first session began, and a number of others came during the afternoon and eve ning. After Mr. Kirkpatrick had callsii the meeting to order, he introduced Wi:son G. Harvey, governor of South Carolina, expressing the wish, in the .:ourse of his introductory remarks, chat Governor Harvey had entered in the race to succeed himself as chief executive of the state. Governor Harvey, in welcoming the merchants, said that if their exper ience in Columbia was similar to his own, they would have a delightful time. He sal the people of Colum bia had been cordial and kind to him. '7 was forced upon them," he said, "but they have given me kindly treat i ment and I am more and more inclin ed to become a citizen of this city."' Governor Harvey then spoke of the i advantagep which accrue from co-oper atloi and turning aside to a subject the importance of which he often stresses, spoke of good citisenship. "The longer I occupy the governor's chair the more I am Impressed with the need of good citisenshIp. We have got to uphold the law, whethir the law be good or bad, and It we want others to obey the law, we must obey It our, selves." He then said individual o6ies die s of J en the In idual obeys athe I there will be no trouble abont t lawlissness." he said. k oovernor Harvey made a fine iR h pression on his audience and was so 11 coded warm applause at the conclu sloni of his address. Pierson. secretary of the Co Ia chamber of commerce, then extended a welcome to the merchants i discussed concisely the "bound es- resources of the South" and out ined the possibilities of expansion. e also spoke of th! opportunities for velopment in the South. W. A. leman, mayor of Columbia, sent a ,ter expressing his regret at his In v to be present to welcome the , merchants. He said he had been call y ed out of Columbia. J(- A. L. M. Wright of Hartsville, f made a happy reply to the speeches b of welcome, saying that the merch ants felt at home in Colambia and ex > ryssed the hope .that out of the dis :easion that would be had some solu an of the problems facing the merch . a would be suggested. 4~ esident Kirkpatrick in his repor o the year's work mentioned some of of t e difficulties which loom ahead o@ a e retailers and, said hope for the . i ture lay in organisation. The am a lation, he said, was no political or nization, but'it might become a pa I. power. He~ said- the member da uld ascertain bow the candidatel r the general awmoly in their coun t-e stood on varm.us matters before a ting for them.

IMPORTANT MEETING HELI COUNTY DEMOCRA ILEASE REJOICED AT COX'S DEFEAT. the State. Washington, July 30.-A copy of he Cole L. Blease letter to Joseph W. [olbert, Republican boss of South ,arolina, dated Columbia, S. C., May 1, 1921, was received here today. In the letter Blease stands by Tol ert in his ambition to secure conLrol f Republican patronage in South Ca olina, rejoices at the victory of War en G. Harding over James M. Cox, )emocrat, and over the downfall of 'idealism." The copy in full follows: Yours of May 16, asking for certain nformation received. I will answer rou frankly. As to C. C. Campbell of Columbia. 5. C., the common remark I heai round here, and have heard parties nake from other parts of the state is: 'Some people in South Carolina may vant to go into a new party, but they re not going in as followers of Camp ell, who is a Yankee; for you re nember that it was the Northern ron gades and scalawags who took the igger and used him that gave us all f our troubles from 1865 to 1876." [herefore, you will s'ee that his lead rship will not go far in South Caro ma. As to J. L. McLaurin, I presume it s unneccessary for me to make any emarks. His record in the senate of Ee United-States, the Archbold letters attempted deal of 1912, his com ,iete breakdown as a candidate for overnor in this state recently, and is general political record, are as v'eil known to the people in Washing on as they are to the.eplo of South arolina. It would be absolutely im ossible for him to build up any fol owing in this state of any consider ble proportions. If the patronage in this state should e.given to Campbell or McLairin, or iampbel and McLaurin, they could ot buaHd up a corporal's guard, that f ul- Jo.utside of the Democratic ers as well as, their United Stat enatbrs and' congressmen and the tate officers, to follow those peop nto the Republican party. Cons uently, as far as I have been able earn, very little credence is given he Campbell-McLaurin talk; in fa< t is looked upon as a joke by tho vho have any influence and who knc hat these men can not break into t )emocratic ranks. I certainly can state that you ha been a lifelong Republican; that y have gone through strenuous tim and that your life has often been stake, and that through -it all y have been tried and true; and if, aft all these years of service and dev tion to your party the Republica would nowv kick you out, I can 1hard think that they would have much an. opportunity to get any one hpre follow them, because the people he would realize that-'no matter how d voted the service they might rend< their labors would not be appreciati I can hardly see how, after a thorous investigation, it could be possible f -you to be turned down as the lead -of the Republican party in this sta -and as for the forming of a new par with Campbell or McLaurin, or bol such talk is a myth, a farce and pla damned foolishness. You are at liberty to read this 1< ter to whom you please, or publish if you wish, as I presume everybo knows that I speak what I think:i gardless of consequences. I hi written you freely as you requesi mie to do. I am a Democrat; not Wilson socalled Democrat, but a Je: ersonian Democrat, who rejoiced Harding's election and the downf ~of idealism, which gave us nothi but fresh-made graves, widows,< ,phans and billions of 'dollars tax 1 under the guise of liberty. We ha less- liberty now. than we have e' r had and fewer privileges as a res of Wilson and his henchmen. SIf you see my friend, Jim Das secretary of labor, give him my lo and tell him that if Cole Bleasec do anything for him, to "holler" a hle will hear and answpr. ~ I Very respectfully, (Signed) Cole.
