8 . ' MOORE WRITES TO BLEASE REASONS FOR REFUSING FUNDS Second Chapter in Controversy Over Certain Phases in the Military Situation in the State. The following appeared in The Columbia Record of yesterday: "This whole matter in my opinion Is nothing but cheap politics and a play to the grandstand from a political point of view." Adjutant General Moore thus characterizes the interview by Governor Blease given out yesterday iu wmcn uie governor assails General Moore for refusing funds to certain military companies at the Aiken encampment who failed to meet provisions of the law as to the number of men enlisted. QUOTES CIRCULAR. Justifying his refusal to issue funds to the company in question, the Orangeburg company, which had but 3.1 enlisted men. General Moore quotes from Circular No. 2 of the war department as follows: "At camps of instruction no officer or enlisted men of the company shall be paid from federal funds allotted to the state under section 1661 R. S., as amended, unless said company shall have in actual attendance at said camp the required minimum nurc/\n n nl r\ " onmniiucifinoH r* ffl (?orc and 38 enlisted men; a failure to have this required minimum personnel will entail refusal to make payment to company." That the Orangeburg company having but 33 enlisted men, was not eligible for federal aid, is General Moore's position. GENERAL MOORE'S LETTER. General Moore this morning dispatched a letter to Governor Blease In which he says: "I desire to state that I am adjutant and inspector general of this state and ray duties as inspector general require that I should make field inspection during the annual encampments, and for this reason I am in attendance upon the encampment this year, and I am clearly within the scope of my duties in this work, and I must respectfully call your attention to the fact that it is not necessary' for me to receive your permission in order to perform these duties " The Interview from General Moore follows: "I desire to state that there was no order issued by me returning these companies to their home stations. In fact, there was but one company ordered home, that being company I, Bamberg, and this order was issued by Colonel Julius E. Cogswell, commanding the third infantry, and the reasons assigned were that the captain was physically incapacitated to take care of his company he being the only commissioned officer with this organization. In the case of company L, Orangeburg, and company E, Barnwell, these organizations were informed by me that their subsistence could not he paid from the state's appropriation for the maintenance of militia because of the fact that they ^./ Tailed to perform the duties requir' ed "under section 15 of the military code^ of South Carolina; i. e.. they did not show the requisite attendance of 60 per cent average of all drills held by them during 1012, consequently as there was no funds belonging to these organizations in my hands and no other funds available, I could not pay their subsistence. AS TO PAYMENTS. "As regards the statement of the governor that the transportation and subsistence could be paid from fed eral funds under 1661, 1 have only to call their attention to Circular No. 2, war department, under date January 23, 1913, which reads as follows: 'At camps of instruction no officer or enlisted man of the company shall be paid from federal funds allotted to the state under section 1661 Tt. S., as amended, unless said company shall have in actual attendance at said camp the required minimum personnel of two commissioned officers and 3 8 enlisted men; a failure to have this required minimum personnel will entail a refusal to make payment cf company.' "This order was promulgated from my office under dale of April 29, general order No. 30, so there could be no excuse whatever for the commanding officer of these organizations not complying with these instructions if they expected to participate in federal pay. "Referring to that part of the governor's letter addressed to Captain Claffy in which he states 'I cannot understand. I dislike to think the man is drunk on power or that he has lost bis head on account of his promotion,' I think this statement cnmfnjr frnm the mm m:in.ter-in chief 1? entirely lacking In good taste in view of the fact of his past record regarding the assumption of power. It reminds me of Bobbie Burns' utterances, 'O, would some power the giftie gie us to see oursel'es as others see us.' This whole matter in my opinion is.nothing bu1 cheap politics and a play to the grandstand from a political point of view." GENERAL MOORE'S LETTER. General Moore's letter to Governor Blease follows: July 23, 1913. Governor Cole L. Blease, Commander-in-Chief, Columbia, S. C. Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipi of your letter under date of July 21 in which you issue orders to me for bidding the use of the phrase "Bj order of the Commander-in-Chief.' Also your letter of same date calling my attention to the fact that you dir not issue special order No. 60, detailing the adjutant general to pro ceed to encampments of the Third First and Second Infantries, to b< he.ld at their respective locations commencing July 17 to August 5 inclusive. In issuing orders of this nature I have simply carried out your in struetions issued to me in person a the beginning of your term of office f In which you stated to me that I J i should run the office according to my own ideas, as you knew nothing whatever of military matters, and I ' I that you would sustain my action.1. This instruction has never been can. celled by you, until your letter and | order under date of July 17. It has j always been my custom to refer to >ou in all matters or importance, as you are well aware, which I have 6 strictly adhered to; but in matters c of routine, I did not deem it neces- * sarv or nrnptio?l to nrcRpnt for vour approval matters which I did not ^ consider important. k For the first term of your admin- f istration, there was no complaint raised by you regarding the issuance s of such orders regulating the con- v duct and management of this office, 41 ' nor has there been any order for- 1 ] bidding me carrying out this prac- ' I tice un,til yours of the 22nd. Your r action in this matter will interfere r j very materially and handicap the 11 work of my department to a consid- * erable extent. For instance, matters come up that require prompt action J1 and you may at the time be out of " the city. In such cases, under your j orders, these matters will have to lie K I over and await your return and ap- ? proval. , 1 am quite sure that it was never " the intention of the legislature to c place such broad scope of authority P as you have assumed in the hands of n the commander-in-chief, in so far as a the details connected with my de- Y, partment are concerned. IN RE SPECIAL ORDER. t Willi reference to special order a No. (>0, I desire to state that I am " 1 the adjutant and inspector general v of this state and my duties, as in- " spector general, require thot I should 11 1 make field inspiction during the an- n nual encampments, and for this rea- 9 son I am in attendance upon the en-1 I campment of this year, and I am 9 clearly within the scope of my duties J1 in this work, and I must respectfully call your attention to the fact that it is not necessary for me to receive J" ' your permission in order to perform these duties. .a I~> ocnoot f ullv ' W.~W.'

Hi THE LANCASTER NE> SENATOR TILLMAN'S VIEWS ON VOTING , That He Has Changed Front in tlegard to Oiving Hallot to Every White .Man. The News and Courier has received from Senator Tillman for publication the following open letter to he editor of The Orangeburg Sun: Tn thp EHItnr of TIip Oranvphnrc lun, Orangeburg, S. C.?Dear Sir: n your paper of Friday, July 18, I ind this: "In the days when Tillman was eeking election and re-eleetion he vas always 'whooping it up' that ivery white man should be allowed o vote. Now he seems to have gone >ack on all that and doesn't care a ap whether the poor white gets a egistration certificate or not. Tillnan, of course, never expects to run or office again." Candidly, Mr. Editor, isn't that inkitul as well as untrue? Honor iright, now, and say yes or no. The only time 1 recall ever having tressed, or had anything to say bout "every white man being aluwed to vote" was when I was urgng the calling of the constitutional onvention, and when some newsapers were howling ^bout the poor lan never being allowed to vote gain if the constitutional convention -as called. I told my friends among he poor white people then that I ,'ould suffer my right arm to be aken off before I would consent to ny constitutional provision which id not safeguard the ballot to every hite man. They had confidence in I le enough to vote for the constituional convention, and we got it by a arrow margin?about two tliouand votes in the state. I think. t I redeemed my pledge in the con- p titutional convention itself by givng three years in which the poor e oys about to become of age could a ualify themselves by learning to r ead and write, and I would not hear 1 a a property qualification, except as ^ n alternative. A man must read and write a r lause in the constitution, or pay a axes on three hundred dollars' orth of property. 1 quote -from the 1 onstitution itself. I safeguarded the ballot of every f ,'hite man and at the same time laintained white supremacy. Thou- f ands of poor white men last year f ere bamboozled into believing I * as no longer their friend, and they ( ?t nt- wru ntnt tv iu i?* as ^uuu * he truth." I suppose that Is the * eaxon why this story has continued 81 r> he spread abroad. While I do not ever expect to run 1 or office again simply because I will I le before the six years of my term xpire, I cannot tamely submit to 1 ave falsehoods circulated about me hich are absolutely nnjustiflable C s well as unreasonable. Very respectfully yours, 11 R. TILLMAN. Washington, I). C\, July 21, 1913. 8 REPLIES TO TILLMAN. e Alitor of Orangeburg Sun Answers I Open I.etter of Senior Senator. * C The News and Courier has receiv- r d for publication the following re- ( ly which the editor of The Orangeurg Sun makes to Senator Till- 3 tian's letter: t "Senator Tillman has changed t reatly in the past y< ar. Poth his c Be. and the infirmities of a serious a nalady seem to have played their c art in bringing about this change. Vhether the change is for better or t or worse, depends upon the point of c lew. j "That Senator Tillman once fought or the ballot for every white man ?none excepted?is admitted by ( iim in his letter to The Sun. He r ays that in 18il>5 he told his friends mong the poor white people that he i-ould suffer his right arm to he ^ aken off before he would not give he ballot to 'every white man.' "In 1896 Mr. Tillman was in his rime and looking forward to long , ears of office-holding. He would , acriflce his right arm at that time efore he would consent to a single vhite man being debarred from votng. "Now it is different. Senator rillman says he does not expect to un for office again, and it is prob ble that now he wouldn't suffer his ittle finger chopped off even if to lo so would safeguard the ballot to every white man.' 1 "And when did the senator hange? As far as his public state- , nents go. he did not change until ifter he felt satisfied (hat he would ! lot run for office again. "Why didn't Senator Tillman cry >ut against 'every white man' being illowed to vote before the primary if last summer? If he had done so. t la very probable that he would not oday be a United Stages senator 'rom South Carolina. "For many of 'the boys' who helpHi to put and keep Mr. Tillman In ' iffice. he seems now to have no further use. He doesn't need their bal- j lots any longer. They are sucked oranges, and can go their way. "Gratitude?thy name does not ippear to be Benjamin Ryan Tillman ! i " 'The hit dog howls,' Is one of ] Senator Tillman's favorite expres- ] alons.

I am asked: "How would you f( feed salt to live stock?" h Salt may be given dally mixed e with the feed. If this Is done, not over three-fourths to one ounce <j should he given dally for every 1,000 pounds of the animal's weight. After j extensive experiments Babcock con- eluded that a dairy cow should have about three-fourths ounce for 1,000 pounds weight daily and three-fifths ounce additional for every twenty I * pounds of milk produced. Owing to the danger of giving the J salt irregularly, and giving too much * at times, the best plan is to give " about one ounce a day for every ? 1,000 pounds weight for about a week in order to satisfy any undue ? cravings for it, and then put the B salt In boxes under shelter where the animals can run to It and eat at will. 8 e a Progressives Will Put Out Full e Ticket.

I can take a binder nd cut it without any trouble. It ill also soon save enough grain to ay for itself, as it Just gets it all.

I have seen good crops of rain grow when sowed with a drill, nd very poor crops when sowed by and. In fact, before our people bean using drills we would often make illures in grain growing, but since re use the drill and fertilize it some, e never miss a crop. J. E. CRAIG. Lancaster, S.
