MAKES QUITE A LENGTHY RE PLY TO HERALD Of Spartanburg?Submits Extracts From Many Letters Received From Fellow Congressmen. Washington, May 18, 1909. Editor, The Spartanburg Herald, S^rtanburg, S. C. Dear Sir: Pressure of work has prevented my answering the let ter of your Washington correspon dent, Mr. T. H. Daniel, anent the ef forts of myself and others to place potash salts and basic slag on the free list in the Payne tariff bill. I should not feel called upon to answer his contention at all, except for the fact that I am sure he has been unwittingly misled in making state ments which are.without foundation in fact. I know Mr. Daniel person ally and he is too high a type of gentleman to knowingly misrepre sent facts. I have no doubt that his information has come from sources which do not look with any favor upon my work. First, your correspondent main tains that no efforts were necessary to induce the Ways and Means Com mittee to bring in its amendment to place these fertilizer ingerdients on the free list. Mr. Daniel may know more about this than I, but I am sure I thought that strong ef forts were needed to get the results obtained and I am sure fhat these gentlemen here agree with me upon that point. It was more than a week after I had called attention to the fact that these ingil dients were made dutiable under the maximum and minimum provision?more than a week of hard work and constant attention?before the committee brought in its amendment. I am doubtful in my own mind if the members of the Ways and Means Committee were aware of the fact that potash salts and basic slag were important ingredients of fertilizers. I am sure that some members of the committee did not know that, but I am sure that at least one mem ber of the committee with whom I talked, second in importance to the chairman of the committee, knew this provision was in the bill and he stated to me that it was in the bill for the purpose of forcing trade con cessions from Germany. But it is not vital how it happened that it was in the bill, the fact is that it was in the bill, and if it had been allowed to remain in it, a burden of $230,000 annually would have been impoesd upon the farmers of South Carolina. Somebody is respon sible for having induced the com mittee to see the light and to bring in the amendment to rid our people of this possible burden. Somebody is due credit for activity. I con fess that the matter was called to my attention by a telegram from Com missioner of Agriculture E. J.. Wat son, and I do not hesitate to say and the records of the committee will prove it, that I was the first and only member of congress, Democrat ic or Republican, to enter a formal written protest, setting out the facts to the Ways and Means Committee. I do not know that any great credit attaches for my having done this, but I conceived it to be my duty to care for the people of my State and I went after the committee with such ability and vigor as I have. This is about all that I have ever Claimed for myslelf. It may not have been a fight, but in the week of anxiety that was mine, I certainly did not consider it a picnic. So much for that. Mr. Daniel says that "Eton J. Bow ers, a representative from Missis sippi and others, first called atten tion to it " This statement is not true and I am sure that Mr. Daniel is only quoting some one else and is not giving this statement upon information which he himself got first-hand. What are the facts? It .s necessary for me to burden you with some letters, but I want to set tle this matter once for all. I wrote to those members of the committee and other members of congress and asked them to give me statements as to their recollections about this matter. Then I received Watson's letter. I immediately called upon Champ Clark, leader of the Demo crats in the house and ranking mem ber of the Ways and Means commit tee, explaining the situation to him and asked him tc advis? nie as to tlu best policy to pursue. He gave no encouragement to me, in fact, he gave me to understand that I had no chance to win. In proof of this statement and to prove further that I was the first man to call his at tention to the matter. I ask you to print this copy of a letter from him: April 30. 1 909. "Hon. A. F. Lever. House of Repre sentatives. "My Dear Lever: Replying to your letter, I will say that my mem ory is very cbar on the proposition that you are the first person who called my attention to the fact that the duty should be taken from pot ash salts and basic slag. I remem ber very distinctly that yon came to me on the tloor of the house and called my attention to the fact that those substances were carried in the maximum and minimum provisions of the bill. I know that when you came to me about it I gave you very little encouragement in your ef forts to remove them from the op erations of the said provision, be cause I had tried to do about the same thing about so many things and had been almost uninformly voted down by the Republican mem bers of the committee, and had about given up any hope of improving the Payne bill in any manner whatso ever. "I remember telling you to inves tigate the matter and to buttonhole the Republican members of the com mittee and keep me posted as to (.Continued on page 4.) SMOKE MEANS WASTE. Scientific Stoking Would Save Vast Amount of Coal Energy. "Smoke means waste and must be avoided," is the edict of a large eastern railroad which is inaugurating a spe cial campaign of education among Its engineers and firemen. Five assistant road firemen of engines are at work Instructing firemen bow to reduce the quantity of smoke emitted by engines. It is estimated that ten pounds of ?oal were required last year to gener ate steam to haul one freight car one mile. The safety valve of an engine if left open one minute will lose an equal amount of steam. This railroad last year hauled 1,238,300 freight cars one mile, and its coal bill was $10,000,000. Therefore the saving of 1 per cent by more efficient handling of coal will re sult In a saving to the company of $100,000 annually. Under eighteen separate heads. In the general order Issued, the company has general order Issued the company has gone into "the elementals of the loco motive firing." Coal must be no more than three Inches thick. Grates and ash pans must be watched closely In order to decrease the number of re pairs on engines. A scientific journal has calculated that 150.000.000 tons of co&I are used annnally by the railways of the Unit ed States, out of which but 7.500,000 tons are used in drawing the trains, while 142,500,000 tons go up the smoke stack. John W. Graham, an English man, estimates that a locomotive uses about three and a half tons of coal a day and scatters the smoke of thirty six pounds of coal over every mile done by fast trains. Clinton Rogers Woodruff of the American Civic association declares that the elimination of the smoke nui sance so far as railroads are concerned is feasible. Primarily It is a matter of firing and the use of right materials.? Chicago Tribune PNEUMATIC MILK' CAN. Insures Against Adulteration or Con tamination of Contents. A recent invention provides a milk can which may be tilled at the dairy, hermetically sealed and kept in this condition until the entire contents of the can are removed at the place of sale. This result is effected by the use of compressed nlr in the can, which forces out the contents as needed. The compressed air is sterilized, and every thing about the milk is kept perfectly clean. There is no danger from contamina tion by exposure to dust and dirt or flies and other Insects. It is impossi ble to change or adulterate the con tents of the can In any way from the time it leaves the dairy until the con CAN READY POK SHIPMENT. tents have been placed in the consum ers' hands. The can is locked, and no liquid can be pumped into it without breakiug the lock and removing the cover. Whenever it is desired to draw off a certain amount of milk it is merely necessary to turn a valve, when the liquid will be forced out by the air pressure In the can. Cooked by the Wind. An English firm of electricians re cently exhibited a dainty luncheon cooking in an electric stove, the only fuel of which was the wind. Two chickens and a fruit tart were brown ing nicely. The dining device was what the inventor calls a wind turbine, a speciul form of windmill, which automatically faces the wind by an Ingenious system of plane directors. The wind wneel in being biown around drives a dynamo, which generates electricity and charges a set of electrical accumulators. From these the electric current is obtained for lighting and heating. When the wind blows strougly and the dynamo tends to generate too much current an automatic device Is operated which checks the generating power, so that there Is uo fear of too rapid charging of the accumulators. Electric Rifle Sights. Tests are being made at the Spring field (Mass.) nrniory of an electric in vention to light the barrels of rifles at night. On each side of the tip end of the gun barrel is a tiny electric bulb about three-eighths of an inch in diam eter. On the other side of the rille stock Is a battery, and on the steel trigger guard is a button used to turn on the lights. These bring the rifle sight on top of the barrel into the clear vision of the shooter. If the tests substantiate tho claims made for the device it will probably be made a part of the regu lation small arms. It is said that ex rrosident Roosevelt's Outfit Includes rifles equipped with the electric sights. Rev. I. W. Williamson's Letter. Rrv. I. W. Williamson, Hunting ton, W.

Foley's Kidney Remedy has restored health and strength to thousands of weak, run down people. Contains no harmful drugs and is pleasant to take. Lownian Drug Co., A. C. Dukes. By ADELAIDE RUTH HILL. [Cbpyright, 1S09, by American Press Asso ciation. J A sunny morning in June a girl of twenty stood in the grounds of a coun try place, a diagram in one hand, a pencil in the other. A man carrying artist's sketching materials was com ing down the road. He stopped and leaned against the stone wall. "Is this the Harrington place?" he asked the girl. "It Is." "The old maids who owned It. I hear, are dead, and it has passed into the hands of a new owner. They say he's a globe trotter and there's no more chance of the place being kept up than before." "On the contrary. I am employed to lay out the grounds in an entirely now scheme." "You?" . "You seem surprised to see a girl do ing such work. I have just been grad uated in the department of gardening at-college." "H'm! Where are your assistants? You can't do the job alone.1* "Can't get any." "How would I do?" he asked after a pause. "You seem to be an artist, not a tiller of the soil." "Artists can't live on their artistic productions; they must stop once in awhile to earn some money by work." "You couldn't earn much here?only $2 a day and found." "I could run ahead $12 a week. I'll go to work right off if you like." The man was engaged, the head gardener warning him that if she caught him dreaming over the sur rounding scenery, which was very fine, she would "dock" his wages. He must also agree to give her a week's notice before quitting. All this being ar ranged, she set him to work digging up the sod for a new arrangement of the walks. It was hard work, and he didn't get on very well. At evening she told him he'd better give It up. "I tell you .what I'll do," he said. "You pay me what you arc allowed for assistants. With that I'll agree to employ two assistants and boss them. That'll give you all your time for plan ning." He succeeded in talking her into the scheme, though she couldn't see where he would get help or make anything for himself. He went to the village that evening and the next morning had two lusty fellows at work. He sat in the grounds sketching, giving his men occasional instructions. "I declare." s--aid the head gardener, "if that isn't just like an artist. No body can ever tell how they live. Well, If he doesn't make any money it's no eoncern of mine. He's getting the *.ork done." Finding too much time fore her plan ning, she strolled out and took a look at the picture he was making. The outline of a landscape was sketched on the canvas. "I would like to know," she said, "bow you expect to gain any money by paying your wages to others." "I thought that was the only way to make money?getting other people I to do the hard work and doing the ' skilled part yourself." "But you're not even doing the skill ed part." "You're doing that." "While you are''? "Wasting my time. I admit it. This picture will never be good fvr any thing. Let's go in and try the piano." He seemed to have his own way with her. She followed hlra Into the house, and. sitting before the piano, he struck several chords. "This won't do," he said snappishly. "The thing can't have been tuned in years. These people can't expect you to get on with a tin pan. What's the agent's name?" Before she eon Id strip him he had rung up the agent on the telephone, and she was horrified to hoar him say: "Miss Klssock. the head gardener, wants to know what you mean by leaving the piano in su< h a condition? She says if yon don't have a man here to tune it right off she'll throw up her job." He tlung down the receiver and re joined her. "Upon my word!" she exclaimed. "Who authorized yon to say that?" "If he doesn't have a tuner here by tomorrow morning you needn't pay me any wages for myself or the two as sistants. You women are not fitted to get on as men are. You haven't got any sand." "Where men have as much of It as I you have there's none left for us women." She consented to let the matter rest, and sure enough the next morning the piano was tuned. Then the first assist ant gardener insisted on the head gar dener spending the morning with him In the music room. Finally the grounds were laid out on the new plan. The men the assist ant had hired kept at work and seemed satisfied with their pay. How their boss managed the finances to make anything was a mystery. When the work was ready to turn over to the agent the artist took bis traps and moved on. It seemed to the girl that her world had moved on and loft her desolate. The agent sent word that the owner had arrived and he would bring him to Inspect the grounds. Miss Kissock dreaded lest her scheme should l>" disapproved. Uuubt less the globe trotter owner was used to the beautiful landscape gardening abroad, and her girlish effort would seem a botch to him. When rite two arrived she was in her rin?m. She hurried downstairs. There was the agent, and with hiin the artist. "Mr. Trowbridge, the owner:" >-aid the agent. For mild easy action of the bow else, a single dose of Doan's Regu lets is enough.
