would ie, by Mi. B. uIsn n C tain others and do what we could to keep them from putting ont a tick et." That is exactly what he cane for. But the committee which mec during fair week had no authority to put out a ticket, and Mr. Featherstone knew it. The instructions given by the confer ence of June 15, 1905, to the commit tee when created by it, as shown in your paper of June 16, were explicit and positive to call a general State conference. Mr. Featherstue can not plead ignorance of this fact; for, no only had the proceedings of the June 15 conference been published by you, but, at the request of a member of the committee which met during fair week, were read before the commit tee, Mr. Featherstone being present. "Is That True?" But The first pact of Mr. Feather stone's statement that the Jerome con ferenc ' decided not to put out a tick et. Is that true? I received a letter dazed October 5, 1905, from a gentle man of unquestioned veracity from which I take a few words to cover the matter under consideration: "Where are we 'at' in our prohibition fight? Matters are assuming a changed front from what existed in .Tiune. . . nt several gentlemen at the .Terome. Y. They, all with one accord. felt that the prohihionists should nomi nate a ticket next year. We do not want Featherstone. . . . he was in that conference." Only a few days passed before one member of that lit tle Jerome caucus nominated another member for governor, and I believe a third member nominated another for lieutenant governor. Mr. Featherstone insists that the Jerome conference decided not to put out a ticket. Well, here are a large number of the members of that little body, not only in favor of putting out a ticket, but actually nominating each other. If that caucus decided not to make nominations its members should have been bound by its action. If Mr. Featherstone's statement be true, then it was a high-handed piece of business for a large number of Its members to do the very thing they had agreed with others not to do. Last: Mr. Featherstone says he of fered a resolutlon in the fair week committee meeting indorsing the law and order league and not a resolution that "hereafter all of the work of the prohibitonists be done through the Law and Order league." If Mr. Featherstone had offered a resolution indorsing the Law and Or der league, it would have been adopt ed without a dissenting vote. Let Mr. Featherstone explain why two mem bers of the comhnittee, in debating his resolution, after pointing to the large number of prohibitonists and tte small membersip in the Law and Or der league, used the same expression "that would be the tail wagging the dog?" Why did Mr. Featherstone withdraw his motion, as if ashamed of it, before the vote was taken? Joel E. Brunson. Sumter, S. 0., Aug. 17, 1910. FEATHERSTONE REPLIES AGAIN TO MIR. BRUN~SON Says That He was Not Disloyal Either by Word or by Act to Brun son. To the Editor of The State: Please give me just a few words in reply to Mr. Brunson's card in today's State. First. As to the Jerome hotel con ference and the fair week conference. I have made my statement, which is fully substantiated by Dr. Cromer and Mr. Grist and I shall therefore say nothing more. Rev. Louis J. Bristow, an intimate friend of Mr. Brunson, will also have something to say about this, and I trust that you will publish his card. The only other statement that I di sire to notice is Mr. Brunson's state ment as to the letter which he says a certain gentleman says I wrote. As to this I desire to say that no such let ter was ever written and any state -ment to the contrary is absolutely without foundation. In conclusion I want to say to close the whole matter, that in no way, by word or act, was I disloyal to Mr. Brunson in connection with that with drawal in 1898 nor in any other way. C. C.

A recent review of the moving pic tur., i'Tdustry made brief mention of Edward Muybridge, who died a few months ago, as the first man to pro ject the moving picture upon a screen. While sorring the Doston Globe as a repiorter in the fall of 1882 I met Mr. :nn :;i his peculiar work. There had been much discussion in sporting, and scientific circles as well, as to the manner of the operation of four-footed animals in their various gaits, and the late Leland Stanford at his Pala Alto ranch on the Pacific coast had given to Mr. Muybridge opportunity to set tle the discussion by photograph of: some of his noted horses. Mr. Muybridge, working Iong before I the quickly sensitive lens and the thousand of a second shutter, ranged 24 cameras in line at a suitable dis tance representing the movement of' the horse at a single step. The shut ter invented by Mr. Muybridge was moved by connecting pieces of string which the animal broke as he passed f down the line, the break releasing it for the exposure. The result was a series of pictures showing the steps of th- horse. in various gaits. walk, trot, pace, canter, etc. This was in- a teresting. merely looking at the pic tures but the problem the scientist had in mind was to present these pic tures (which were hardly more than silhouettes, the lenses not being sharp) in motion. To do this %Ir. Muybridge copied, t nwrThod familiar to those who re mertU;r the toy known as the "zoe trope." This toy was a pasteboard cylinder with "slits" in the upper sec tion, and when it revolved rapidly it reproduced drawings apparently in motion, the effect resulting from a se ries, for instance, representing a man chopping wood, each movement of the man, from lifting the ax until its de scent, having been drawn separately, but acting as a whole when the I zoetrope revolved. To reproduce the effect upon the screen was a mechanical feat- whichi was finally conquered and the pic- b tures moved the entire .series having l been devoted to showing movements!P of animals and men in motion, with no background whatever. These pic tures attracted a great deal of atten- 8 tion among scientific and sporting - men and among artists. Mr. Muy- 1 bridge proved by them that the con ventional drawing of the horse in mo tion was altogether wrong, as the horse did not use his feet and legs in the way artists haA represented them, that dogs did not travel exactly as a horses in the successioni of steps with their feet, and that, except in jump ing, no animal ever had all his feet off the ground at one time. The ar tists made fun of his ideas and tried to draw their horses "after Muy bridge,'' but soon became convinced that he was right, and the horse has a been drawn on Muybridge lines ever since. These experiments were be- Il fore the introduction of the flexible film for thie camera and before rapid photography had been developed. Mr. a Muybridge lived to see the motion pic- s ture a wonderful thing, and I have t often thought how much he must have enjoyed the development of his crude ideas in general lines, rather than confined to the study of the gaits of It animals. The Sort of Immigration We Need. We are of the opinion that the South does not need more laborers.t We already have too many for thet work there is done. In fact, one-half thie men who do farm work could do more than all now do if properly equipped and directed. We have too many laborers and too many "bosses" and overseers and idle proprietors al ready. What we need is more work ing owners; men who will own land and direct the farming of it them-a ~selves. We need more farming in person and less by proxy. We need men with some means and much industry who will buy land, give it their personal attention and Ibuild comfortable rural homes, but before these will come in large num- - bers there must come a change over public sentiment' as represented by the most prosperous of our white population. The farmers with smallt means who are going by the thous ands each year into the Canadian Northwest are not going to the cold climate of a foreign land in preference; to 'the hospitable Southern climate of their own country, for any other rea son than that the spirit which always attracts immigrants calls them. it is that spirit which says to the desir able citizen: Come among us, become one of us, share fully with us the 1;ights ' of American citizenship, and join. hands with us in. developing and building up our common country." The desirable immigrant responds only to the call which assures him a full share and equal part in all that con' d stitutes the life of a prosoperous and g homogeneous rural people. There t: must be no "strings" to the proposi tion, no reservations, and no assump tion of prior or superior rights on the: part of any class or part of the popu lation.-Raleigh (N. C.)
