CONKKEss.HAN AIKEN'S FAITHEIL SEKVICE Eeply of Abbeville Press and Banner to Anderson Intelligencer?3Ir. Aiken's Record. Abbeville Press and Banner. In a recent editorial* the Anderson Intelligencer does injustice to the Hon. Wyatt Aiken. That paper seems to be of the opinion that a man's influence in congress may be measured by committee chairmanships. In the first place, the awarding of chairmanships is by a committee of 1 1 * ? VvUf Viv tne nouse ana is aimosi mvanaui; seniority. When the Democratic house was reorganized, Mr. Aiken* was ranking man on the District of Columbia committee and second man on the pension committee. These are of the most important committees of the house, and especially is this true of tihe District committee, which governs the District of Columbia and has the disbursement of millions of dollars. The chairmanship of this, one of the most important house committees, was Mr. Aiken's by right and was conceded to him by the appointing committee. Hon. Ben Johnson, a representative from Kentucky, then a doubtful State, ranked next to him. Mr. Johnson was exceedingly anxious for the chairmanship to help out his candidacy, and incidentally the Democratic party in Kentucky. He men tioned this fact to several of his friends, and they in turn to Mr. Aiken. Mr. Aiken went to Mr. Johnson and assured him that on account of their pleasant relations and as a service to Democracy in Kentucky, he would temporarily surrender his rights. This is a fact that every member of the ways and means committee, the committee that makes up the several house committees, is familiar with and will certify to. Whatever estimate the public may put on chairmanships, they are helpful for advertising and boosting the individual holding the job, rather than for any substantial advantage that they give him over the other members of the committee. Surely the man who would sacrifice self interest for a loyal friend and for his party in a doubtful State deserves praise rath er than criticism. It is true that there is another serious objection to serving as chairman of the District of Columbia committee. In this position a man has to serve two constituencies: the people of Washington and his people at home. It is doubtful if a man can faithfully serve his home constituents and faithfully discharge his duty as District chairman. Mr. Aiken felt that not only his best service but his undivided service was due to his people at home, hence he more willingly gave up his right to the District chairman ship. When he is returned to congress and there is a Democratic house, which seems more than likely, he will again have to accept or refuse the chairmanship of the District committee. Some of the ablest men who have ever gone to congress from this State have served as chairman of that committee, and the Republican campaign * manager held the place for many years, thinking it a marked distinction. The Intelligencer directly or indirectly states that Mr. Aiken does not deliver his speeches on the floor of congress, but asks leave to print. If the editor ^f the Intelligencer will glance over any of his recent speeches, that are avaiable, he will see from the nature of colloquies and interruptions directed tc him during his speech, that he has not indulged the leave to print habit except on proper occasion. He asked leave to print the Zach McGhee letters written on the tariff from England, because they were too long and too numerous to be read. But they were thought to be of such value as party literature as to be given a place in the Democratic camDaism hand book, and were read by hundreds of thousands of Northern voters. On two separate occasions, Mr. Aiken's tariff speeches have been selected by a congressional committee from the hundreds delivered on this subject, and given place in the Democratic campaign book, to be read by the masses. There were in all only five selected, dealing with different fea7 tures of the tariff. Every well-informed person knows that it is a part of a secretary's duty to congressmen and senators to help dig up facts for their speeches. The secretary in this respect is to the congressman or senator what a junior partner is in a law firm, only in a far less degree. Any insinuation that Mr. Aiken does not do his own thinking and speak his own thoughts is too absurd to be considered for a moment. It is fair to presume that this editor can speak with certainty on this point, and we do so -unequivocally. The ablest men in either house are forced to [ leave statistical and detail work to ; their secretaries for lack of time to ! perform it themselves. I' The congressman from the Third district has his own way of stating | facts directly and unembellished, so j as to drive them home in argument. It has been said of Mr. Aiken that *r no man who preceded him in con- d gress, with the possible exception of I Viic fotViar. V,o-iror> cn/^Vi nmmnt QnH ei lilO Xiao t)4, * ?" ******W I acceptable service to his individual ! constituents. iA He is open, manly, clean and cour- j p ageous in his service to the people. He ! has always voted his convictions fear- JP lessly, and without exception for the \ n public good. The humblest citizen of 6 his district gets the 6ame prompt and acceptable service that the wealthiest 11 and most influential could hope for. He is simply an honest man doing his c duty faithfully, and impartially. We believe that, on reflection, the p Tntp.llierencer would be just, and that it | can. but see the injustice done in its ^ recent article.?Adv. _ _ si Major Hemphill Kesigns, Greenville News. a North Carolina is soon to lose one 11 of her ablest journalists in Major J. C. Hemphill, who has resigned his ^ position as editor in chief of the Charsi lotte Observer to accept a position on thA fravAlline staff of the New York i'' Times. Major Hemphill has long been recognized as one of the most repre- 61 sentative Southern editors and it is B with much regret that his fellownewspaper men in this section learn V] that he will transfer his field of activity. For twenty years Major Hemp- s< ihill was editor of the Charleston I^ews p and Courier. He then went to the w Richmond Times-Dispatch in a similar capacity and subsequently to the Char-1 fi lott.fi Observer where he has been for! c< only seven, months. The movements of this talented h writer will be watched with interest by his friends throughout this section hl and he carries with him their best wishes for the greatest possible sue- 1 cess in this new field. May the ma- J ^ jor be a force for good in the North i ^ 1 as he has always been in the South. ? TY COBB REINSTATED. N f! (Outfielder's Suspension for Attacking Spectator Lifted?Fine of $50 Added to Punishment Chicago. May 25.?President D. B. - Johnson of the American league tonight announced the reinstatement of Outfielder Tyrus Cobb of Detroit club, whose suspension for attacking j a spectator who he said had insulted j him in New York resulted in a strike j by the Detroit players last week. Cobb | will be eligible to play tomorrow. . In ! * addition i.o the ten days' sas;>ensi?;i II! he was fined $50. jp President Johnson promised in a ^ statement full protection to all pi ay- j ers and said the league had arranged ^ to increase the police force at every ^ park, but declared severe punishment c would be meted out to those players, ^ "who assume to act as judge and v, avenge a real or fancied wrongs while j On rJntir 99 % i VI1 UUWJ. . .. I The statement in part follows: S "After a careful investigation into k the causes and circumstances of the i~ encounter between Player Cobb and n Claude Lucker, a spectator at the a New York grounds on May 15, I find that direct responsibiity for the un- cfortunate occurrence rests upon the ^ player. Evidence in the form of af- S fidavits clearly shows that the player was the first to employ vicious lan- u | guage in reply to a tunting remark j I + AT* U1 LLie 5pCVMM/l> "As a lesson to the accused and a | B warning to all other players I fix the j term of the player's suspension at ten j days and impose a fine of $50. He j will be eligible to play on May 26." : ? | s Climbing for Cats. p A boy in northern Michigan was out : n hunting and saw two cats up a tree. ^ i The family needed a pussy about, and , : so he laid down his gun and took a jn ! dumb. What he didn't know until too r ! late was that the animals were wild- A j cats. Before be could lay hold of the e j cats they laid hold of him, and the ^ j doctor who attended his burts count- ^ i ed up 41 bites and scratches. In hunting for cats be careful that you doa't get the wrong breed. . .5ow is the time to subscribe to The | Herald and News, $1.50 a year, 75c.
