AIKEN ACT IN UNPRECEDENTED SI PASSAGE OF Bli ARMY Popular mid Influential in tho House, Mr. Aiken Always Commands At tention of tits Hearers mid Has tlie Ready Aid of His Co.Workers. His Speeches Mado Part of D?mo cratie Campaign Rooks. Of th? Strictest Integrity, Ho is True to His Party, Prompt and Courte ous, Always Ready and Anxious to Servo His Constituents. Editor Keowee Courier: lt has oc curred to mo that many people at home do not know how results aro accomplished tn Congress. Some people may think that tho member who makes the most speeches, or the loudest ones, ls tho most useful Con gressman. This ls not the case at all. Tho point I am trying to.make was well Illustrated here this* week when Representative Wyatt 'Aiken got through a joint, resolution mak ing an emergency appropriation of $5.000 for the purpose of lighting the army worm in Anderson county and other places where it had occur red . In order to make the whole mat ter clear 1 had better tell the whole story from the beginning. Last Sunday night Mr. Aiken received a telegram from J. W. Rothrock, the farm demonstration agent for Ander son county, telling of tho appearance of the army worm In that section, and asking that an expert be sent to look over the field and advise the farmers what to do. Mr. Aiken went to the agricultural department next morning (Monday) and saw Secre tary Wilson about it. Mr. Wilson telephoned Dr. Webster, the ento mologist, and asked him to come over. They dieussed the matter, and Mr. Aiken Insisted that Dr. Webster should go to Anderson at once. Dr. Webster said there was no money available-that tho appropriation bill tor this year had not been pass ed, and thai all the money given In the last appropriation bill had been exhausted. Mr. Aiken began feeling In his pockets and pulling out money. "I don't know whether I have enough money with me to pay your ex penses," he said, "but 1 can get some more by the time the train leaves." "I'm game, too," exclaimed Sec retary Wilson, and he began to dig up. too. And between them. Mr. Aiken and Secretary Wilson, made up enough money to pay Dr. Web ster's expenses on the trip, and he left Washington that night. Dr. Webster reached Anderson Tuesday afternoon and at once got an automobile and went to the In fested section, in company with Mr. Ttothrock and other citizens. He found the situation worse than he had expected, and went back Into Anderson that night and sent Mr. Aiken a telegram giving the result of Ids trip. He urged that more money he made available at once In order to put other experts In the field. Mr. Aiken got this telegram Wed nesday morning. Ile did not know how much money would he needed, hut as soon as tho House met he In troduced a joint resolution making an appropriation of $15,000, had the resolution referred to the commit tee on agriculture, and then tele phoned to Secretary Wilson to come up to the Capitol and talk to the committee about it. Mr. Aiken then went to work, seeing the members of the House personally and explaining the matter to them. The leaders on both sides of the House, Republi cans as well as Democrats, were seen and all of them agreed to support the resolution. Mr. Fitzgerald, the chairman of the appropriations com mittee, was seen. "Well, you know we are trying to make a record for economy." he said, "but this seems to be a case in which you need money down there, and you need lt right now. Figure out just how little you can get along with, and I will not oppose it." Other Influential mem bers'of the House told Mr. Aiken the same thing. Secretary Wilson appeared and went before the committee. He was told what Mr. Fitzgerald had .said, and after discussing thc matter for a while, he said he thought $5,000 would be sufficient to carry on the work until the regular appropriation lilli should be passed. Thereupon, the committee reduced the amount named In tho resolution from $ir>. 000 to $5,000, and Mr. Holl?n, of Alabama, was instructed to report the resolution favorably to the House on Thursday. Of course all of this iii'dr time, and hy the Hmo the roso was reported to tho House ' ikon had talked to practically member present, and had Unod ody up for it. Mr. neilin n . a short talk, explaining the necessity for the appropriation, which everybody had boon told of be fore hand, and In a very few min utes the resolution had passed the house. There was md a dissenting vote. Mr. Aiken thou had tho resolution hurried to the Senate. Under tho regular routine lt would not have boon sent to the Senate until tho next day, hut Mr, Aiken was In a hurry, and he speeded things up. In tho Senate an unexpected obstacle was encountered. The Senate was working under a unanimous consent arrangement, by which tho tariff hills were to he voted on before any other business of any kind would be considered. Under this agreement Mr. Aiken's resolution could not pos sibly be reached before Monday. Mr. Aiken wont to work and explained to the leaders on both sides, and mado them promise that they would not delny his resolution. He talked to nearly all the Senators that after noon, and perfected an arrangement by which his resolution was taken up that night, after tho vote on tho wool hill was taken, and lt was passed without a dissenting vote. Senator Smith did not know of tho army worm being in South Caorllna until Mr. Aiken came over to tho Senate with the resolution that had boon 'S QUICKLY. HORT TIME, SECURES LL TO COMBAT WORM. passed by tho HOUBO. He got very much excited, and said $5,000 would not be enough, and wanted to In crease tho amount to $25,000. Mr. Aiken told him that Secretary Wil son had said that $5,000 would be sufficient, and urged him to lot the $5,000 appropriation go through without delay, pointing out that an amendment would send lt back to the House and conferees would have to be appointed, and tho matter would be delayed, and very probably the whole appropriation would be defeated. Senator Smith finally con sented to this, and Mr. Aiken's reso lution went through the Sonate with out a dissenting vote, just as it had passed tho House. Within 4 8 hours after Mr. Aiken was notified of'thc appearance of the army worm in Andorson county he had an expert on tho ground,, and within 18 hours more after the ex pert, had made his report Mr. "Aiken had secured another $5,000 for stnmping out tho evil. Quick work, wasn't lt? And Mr. Aiken did this effectlvo work without making any speeches. He did not use gum-shoe methods, nor did he use a brass band. He knew what to do, and went ahead and did lt without delay. By work ing on the members of the House and Senate personally ho got what was needed, and got lt without de lay. If he had made the most elo quent speech In the world, and filled many pages of tho Congressional Record, he could not have accom I " ''ed tho desired end half so Hui y. Nor could a new member of Congress, no matter how able or eloquent, have accomplished such results. He simply would not have known what to do, or how to go about lt-ho would not have tho per sonal Influence, that was necessary and that can be attained only by long and acceptable service. This Incident shows the kind of a Congressman Wyatt Aiken ls. He I has ability and energy, and the thing that men call personal magne tism, and he ls always on the job. He is personally one of the most pop- j ular men In the House, and he ls ab solutely honest. There has never ' been any suspicion as to his In teg- j rity. 'He is true to his party and to : the best principles of his State, and as he never talks on the floor of the House unless he has something to', say, he is always listened to with I respect. He has not "talked himself j to death," as so many members of ? Congress have done. He has not de stroyed his influence by too much1 speech-making. Yet he ls one of the ! most, effective speakers in Hie House, ! as is shown by the fact that In the ; two last national campaigns Mr. j Aiken's tariff speeches were lncorpo rated In the Democrat!! campaign book. Only tho best spec hes are used for this book. The leaders of tho party thought Mr, Aiken's speeches were so good, of the hun dreds of speeches made In Congress, that they were willing to go before the country on them. And it is re-j ported here to-day that the campaign book for this year, soon to be Issued, | will contain another of Mr. Aiken's speeches. It will ho read by mil- ; lions of voters between now and No- i vember. This shows what the party leaders think of Mr. Aiken's speeches. They do not select the weakest speeches to put before the people of the country. Mr. Aiken's record In the House ls as good as that of the best. He ls j on important committees, and he is an Influential and effectual member, Ile luis many lillis to his credit. In one Congress he secured the passage of more bills than any other mem ber. Democrat or Republican, Sena-! tor or Representative. This is a re markable statement, but it can bo verified by the word if any one will take the trouble to do so. Haven't the people of the Third District every reason to feel not only satisfied with their Congressman, but proud of liim? A. M. Carpenter. Washington, July 20. Are IO vcr at War.

Spartanburg, Aug. 3.-Rotten eggs were thrown, Dlease men shouted and the police force failed to preserve any semblance of order to-night In a theatre filled with 1,200 representative voters of Spar tanburg and one hundred mill opera tives who had congregated in the building to hear "Mayor J. P. Grace, of Charleston, who attempted to speak. After trying from 8.30 to ll o'clock to get a hearing, and during this time speaking only about fifteen minutes, the Charleston mayor gav? it up as a hopeless task, and the hun dred men who had howled him down congregated outside of tho building and continued their rowdy tactics. Mayor Grace quit trying with the statement that he would seo Dlease tried, convicted and put behind the bars of the State penitentiary. Tho meeting opened nt 8.30 o'clock. O. L. Johnson, mayor of the city, some say, was out of town; others say he was not. At any rate, Alderman O. W. Leonard, mayor pro tem, attempted to preside and made a failure. Ho managed somehow to get through his Introduction and then Mayor Grace arose. Cheers for Dlease, deers for Grace. "Hurrah for Coley," and "Wo want Dlease," "Who are you?" "Go back to Charleston," "Your eyesore too closo together," and tho like re sounded from the gallery, where per haps a hundred Dleaso supporters were congregated. Mayor Grace, who was suffering from a cold, several times got a start, only to be stopped on tho completion of a sentence. He appealed to the men who live within a stone's throw of Cowpens and King's Mountain, where their ances tor's fought for liberty, to accord bim the privilege of free speech, for which their forefathers had died. Tho plea had no effect on the men in tho gallery and the jeers continued. Attacks Rleaso's Record. After some time Mayor Grace was permitted to utter a few sentences, while some of the leaders of the howling-down brigade were outside, it ls said. He assailed Blouse's ref erence to the constitution, when the Governor ls said by Grace to have Bald, "To hell with th? constitution." He appealed to tho mill hands on this ground and pointed out that Ira B. Jones sat on the Supreme bench, which upheld a decision giving one of their number a verdict of $7,000 against I^ewis W. Parker's mill be cause the mill black-listed him and prevented him from securing work. Then tho howlers-down returned. Bitterness was growing fast. The would-be presiding officer asked every citizen who would volunteer to ho sworn In as a special officer to come on the stage. Hundreds re sponded. But the sheriff of the county appeared, and in Hen of a police force said be would keep or der. He did for a few minutes, but then pandemonium again broke loose wot- ',, , - "'-'s f!'in?d un til layoi fl race s op| oe i : ylng. Cn otto Occasion some ono l h row an oVer-rljx ogg on th - stage! '/diir, was quickly followed by another, Cr ICC tiled Blei BO'S record but j only got him as far as the alleged stolen essay in college before he was howled down. Tho Spartanburg police force came In for bitter criti cism for the part lt played. The Charleston mayor reiterated that this could never li ap pen in his city, and on moro occasions than ono advised Mayor Pro Ttem I eonard to resign. He said the Spartanburg police were worse than those in New York. Speaks at Gaffney. Gaffney, Aug. 3-With the s. R. O. sign exhibited at the court house this afternoon, Mayor John P. Grace, of Charleston, spoke to a tremend ous crowd of Cherokeo voters. The mayor was met at tho station by a receptton committee and a brass band and escorted directly to the court house. Bd. H. DeCamp pre sided over Hie i eting, and in a short and happy speech introduced the speaker. When the speaker arose he was greeted by an ovation. For several minutes the house echoed with Hie cheers of tho throng. Mr. Grace's speech was far from violent, although he paid his re spects to the Governor lu no uncer tain terms. The speaker said that it was time for the people of South Carolina to rise up and assert, their right to be free from one-man rule, and that If any people in Hie State should have that right, certainly the people of the Cowpens section were these people, because they had made Independence possible and they had a right to claim what ls theirs. Said Mr. Grace: "There ts no one man who ls good enough to unlock the prison doors of South Carolina and turn out criminals who pollute the air which they breathe." The speaker said that the Governor was a man who had tolerated the dirtiest graft that South Carolina or any other State had ever boen Inflicted with. "Your Governor," said Mr. Grace, "is not an honest, man, he is not a truthful man. lie is not a right living man. God save the State from such men." Tho speaker said that ho support ed Please two years ago because he believed Rlease stood for what the pei.plo of the State wanted. Cole Please has not made good. If there was ever a man hound body and soul to tbr> corporations that min is Cole Please, said Mr. Grace. Graft in South' Carolina is doomed, said the speaker. Tho day when robbery ls permitted is past and South Caro lina will assert her Independence aad throw over tho rule of tho despot. Speaking of tho John Black case. Grace said that In pardoning John Black tho Governor himself had be come a partner of Black's In crime. In tho sight of Cole Blease, Grace said, graft waa a pardonable offense and nothing to bo ashamed of. Tho speaker concluded by saying that lt was a fight of independence against anarchy. Not once was ho Inter rupted during tho course of his Bpeoch, and at the conclusion ho was given great applause. Tho host of order prevailed. M;vyor Johnson Asked to Itesign. Spurtanburg, Aug. 4.-One of the Btartlln.T developments of last night's political excitement, following the falluro of the pollco and tho city au -r-T-. th?ritles to cope with the situation at the Harris theatre, where Mayor Grace, of Charleston, spoke, was the circulation of a petition calling upon Mayor O. L. Johnson to resign his office. Hundreds of citizens, who at ended the meeting at tho Harris theatre loft the building thoroughly Indignant and disgusted with the weakness of the police force and the failure of tho city authorities to keep order. From many sourcos came the demand that Mayor Johnson should resign. As the real head of tho po lice department and tho supremo au thority la municipal affairs ho was the one held responsible for tho fail ure of tho police to prove equal to tho situation. Mayor (?race at Greenville. Greenville, Aug. 6.-Taking the now famous statement of Governor Cole L. Bolaso, "To hell with the con stitution," as his text, Mayor John P. Grace, of Charleston, delivered a forceful appeal to Greenville people to-night In tho county court house. In the midst of thc address a num ber of Blease supporters In the rear of the hall made an attempt to start a disturbance. A detail of police quickly put them out of the build ing, with the result that the speaker was given most respectful attention. "Tho Issue In this campaign," de clared Mayor Grace, "ls constitution alism against anarchy." , Following this statement the speaker told of Blease's close rela tion with thieves and grafters. He reiterated the statement that Gover nor Blease, acting for tho Southern railway, had paid the campaign ex penses of McDuffle Hampton for Rail road Commissioner, and then defied Blease to deny this again, declaring that ho had documentary evidence to substantiate the charge. Mayor Grace reviewed tho Gover nor's career, his pardon record, and his official acts, declaring: "Cojo Blonse will never be re-elected Gov ernor of South Carolina; he will bo Impeached, and will, if he gets his just deserts, land In the peniten tiary."
