J. G. BICHARDS DENIES
HE'S IN COMBINATION
Neither Political "Dictator5' Nor "Meddler,*'
Declares Candidate for Governor.
Columbia, November 20.?Denial of
a combination with the Blease forces,
or any other combinations, was made
v* Jf".
&y^tonight by Chairman John G. Richards,
of the railroad commission, who
is a candidate for governor. He says
that he feels that the candidates for
the United States senate are amply j
able to take care of themselves without
interference on his part.
"I am not presumptuous enough to ,
-J - ? i- 1? I? ?? fi ^ T
attempt me roie uj. a uiuiaiui, auu x ,
do not propose for others to place me
in the attitude of a meddler", declared ,
Mr. Richards.
Major Richards says in his dictated
statement:
"1 fnave seen the editorirl in the
Orangeburg Times and Democrat and
I have also read several letters from |
another source, in which the writer _
undertakes to give the political affilia- 1
tions of certain candidates for gov- ;
ernor, myself among them. The writer
of these articles does not assume re- j
sponsibilicy for his statements, nor j
does he give the name of his informant.
For these reasons I have not
attached any importance to the statements
and I am surprised that any one
else should. It seems, however, that
the editor of the Times and Democrat
feels that they should not go unnoticed
and calls upon me for a state-1
Ult-UL.
"I desire to state that I have entered
into no combinations with any
man or set of men; that I am in the
race for governor on my own responsibility,
and that it is my purpose to
make that race with my past life, both
[private and public, as one of the i
planks of my platform and without j
interference on my part with the,
f candidacy of other people and for oth- j
er positions. I am not presumptu-1
ous enough to attempt the role of a
dictator, and I do not propose for j
others to place me in the attitude of 1
a meddler.
"I feel that the candidates for the
United States senate are amply able >
to look after their own interests with- j
out interference upon my part, and
that the white people of South Caroli- j
na are eminently qualified to select1
their own officials, from United States !
senator to coroner, and I am in favor j
of allowing them the untrammelled
-right to do so. I trust that this statement
makes my position plain to every
one."

Columbia Record, 20th.
Julius D. Dreher is well known in
Columbia and throughout the State.
He was born in the Dutch Fork sec- j
tion of Lexington county and is a
f brother of E. S. Dreher, superintend- 1
' ent of the Columbia city schools. He
was formerly a prominent educator
I and was connected with Roanoke colli
looro fnr nvpr SO vears. serving that
' nstitution 111 the capacity of president1
for 25 years. At present he is the
United States consul at Port Antoni?? j
Jamaica. He was consul to Hayti for 1
four years, but was recently trans-1
forrorf tn thp Jamaican Dost, his trans- i
fer being in the nature of a promo- i
tion. His selection for the important \
Canadian post is another promotion |
> for him, and he is rapidly ascending
f the diplomatic ladder. The consulship
to Toronto is one of the most important
in the gift of the government.
SENDING TROOPS TO BORDER.
Reinforcement, However, Not Alarm
ing.?id fan try to oe tsea.
Washington, Nov. 22.?Reinforcejjf*
ment of the American troops on the
Mexican frontier today was a developB
ment relating to the Mexican situaW
tion, but this movement was declared
to be not at all alarming. In explana\
tion, it was said at the war department
that one or two infantry regiments
immediately is to be ordered to
Fort Bliss, near El Paso, for the pur- j
pose of freeing one of the cavalry regiments
now stationed at that forr for !
active duty along the intternaional
line in the execution of the neutrality
laws. j
The choice will fall upon the sixthteenth
infantry, now at the Presidio,
San Francisco, or i'.:e fifteenth infantry,
near Fovt Douglas. It is ex
pected that the infantry may be
needed to maintain order along the
Texas border.
It was reported tonight that the
federals were preparing to attack
Juarez and that the rebels had gone
forth to meet them.
With the feeling of apprehension as
to the safety of the oil tanks near
Tuxpam allayed by pledges from rebel
leaders that there would be no violation
of property rights, navy officials
today were considerably relieved.
It was expected that one of the two
British armored cruisers from Barbados
soon would put in an appearance
at Tampico, and apparently it
was felt safe to withdraw the New
Har :pshire from Tuxpam, particularly
as the Louisiana remains in that
neighborhood to look after foreign
interest.
With the removal of all misunder- '
standing as the reason of the sending j
of a British ship to the oil coast, it
was felt that the lines of protection

ASKS FOR CUSTODY OF THAW.
Coos County Official Seeks Right to

i
Concord, N. H., Nov. 22.?The de- j
livery of Harry K. Thaw into the sole !
custody of Sheriff H. A. Drew of Coos
county for the purpose of turning the
prisoner over to New York State was
asked for late today. The request
came in the form of an answer filed
? ii? t t ? : '
by tne snerin in me ciiiieu otatca
court to the petition for a writ of
habeas corpus recently presented by
Thaw's counsel.
This writ was requested after Gov.
Felker had acceded to New York's
requests for extradition of Thaw in
connection with charges of conspiracy
arising from his escape from Matteawan
August 17.
WXLSOX TO COME vSOUTH
President to rase rcn i/ays tmi-htion.?Old
Pe8tnre Passes.
Washington, Nov. 21.?There will
be no New Year's reception at the
White House next January. President
Wilson announced today that
during the holiday recess of congress
he would take a 10 days' vacation.
The president will go South to some |
quiet place where he can play golf
and enjoy the seclusion and privacy j
of which he is so fond when on a i
Viimoraus invitations have i
v av^auvu* *1
been received for the president to go |
to places in North Carolina, South !
Carolina and Georgia. He has ac- '
cepted none tliius far; in fact, it is believed
he has not made up his mind |
just where he will go.
The White House New Year's reception
is a historic institution in
Washington beside being one of the
milestones in the capital's social sea- I
son. It has been the custom for the i
president to receive congressmen,
army and navy officers, the diplomatic
corps and all official Washington
according to rank and then shake
[hands with citizens. More than 5,000 (
have shaken hands with the president
on such occasions. The reception is
always followed by rounds of official
calls. j
The white house issued the fol-1
lowing statement.
"The usual New Year's reception
will not be held on January .1, 1914.!
The departure from custom on this
occasion is due to the fact that the
president will not be in Washington
at that time. Owing to tihe long session
of congress the president has had
no vacation since his inauguration.
As the approaching session of congress
will be the long session the only
opportunity for the president to seo
will be during: the usual
vUl \s u, *. Vwv . .
holiday recess of congress."
Xo predictions w^re made by White
House officials as to what the presi- 1
dent would do on succeeding New ,
Year's days of his administration 1
but it is known that. Mr. Wilson is
opposed to the physical ordeal of;
shaking frauds with thousands. Some
: thought it likely that if the New
Year's reception were not entirely
(abolished in the future it might possibly
be limited to official circles. Xo
definite indications along that line
have been given.
CONVERSE GIRLS HUNGER STRIKE I
i j
I
>~ot for Yote Bat for Food..?Lasts
Little While.
I
Spartanburg, Nov. 20.?Two hundred
girls of Converse college went ^
on a hunger strike last night and j
continued it until dinner today as a j
I protest against the service and food
i
i
served in the college dining hall. The
action of the young women came as a
complete surprise to the college authorities
and the fact that the "Converse
girls'' had turned militants and
gone on a hunger strike soon spread
over town. Following the wide publicity
given the hunger strike 1>y the
students cf Converse college, the selfgovernment
association of the college
after a mass meeting of the students
tonight issued the following statement:
"We do not feel that we can allow
the public to continue under a wrong
impression as to the meaning of our
protest against some unsatisfactory
conditions with regard to the food
service. We entertain no lack of confi
dence whatever in uie wruesi uwuc
of the college administration to afford
us every reasonable comfort and convenience.
We have not the least ill
feeling against the administration.
Were it not for some unsatisfactory
conditions in the dining room service,
due as we now understand to difficulties
arising out of recent changes
of equipment and service that were
not yet running smoothly, we should
havp ban no comnlaint whatever to
make.
"Our resort to a new method of
protest was overkasty. It does not
imply.ti.iat we are becoming 'militants'
in any sense. Our real motives
do not at all justify the impression
we fear will be created upon the
public."
OVER TO MILLION GINNED.

Washington, Nov. 21.?The fifth

CARRAXZA BLUNDERS.
?o?
Would Xot AgTee to Observe Knles
Civilized Warfare.
Xogales, Arizona, Nov. 21.?The
reason why conferences between
Gen. Carranza and William Bayard
Hale were broken off became known
here today when it was learned the
rebel leader would not give assurances
that accepted rules of civilized
warfare be observed if the United
States lifted the embargo on arms.
It is understood Carranza also concluded
making a political blunder by
permitting the Mexicans to believe
they would have to submit to the United
States dictation \f victorious over
Huerta.
Hale declined to meet subordinates
when Carranza pleaded illness as
an excuse for not attending conferences.

"Against" Dominick.
Cheshire's Harpoon.
Cheshire is not "against" Dominick
any more than he is "against"
Aiken. In fact, not as much. The
office belongs to the people and he is
going to ask them to give him titles
to it. If Cheshire can't beat Aiken,
then he wants Dominick to do it.
Aiken has sucked the treasury teat
long enough even had he earned his
salary. But since he has accomplished
practically nothing save draw
his pay, Cheshire is going to ask the
voters to send a man there who can
and will do something. He believes
in congressmen doing something,
thougih some of it may be a mistake.
He promises, if he p.ets there, to let
the world know/ that the third district
from South Carolina has at last
got one man there that is neither a
dummy or a mummy.

How many hospital patients, suffering
the frightful itch, the raw scorchin?
pain of skin disease, have been
soothed to sileep by a soothing: fluid
washed in by the nurse's hands?
That fluid is the famous D. D. D.
prescription for eczema.
THE SXTP^jSVlSHTQ- NURSE of one
of our prominent Catholic institutions
(name of nurse and institute on application),
writes regarding a patient.
"The disease had eaten her eyebrows
away. Her nose and lips had become
disfigured. Since the use of 0. D. D.
her eyebrows are growing, her nose
and face have assumed their natural
expression."
How many eczema sulorers are payin?
their doctors for regular treatment
and are being: treated with this
same soothing, healing fluid?
