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." DEATH OF tfRS, HE>KY HESDRIX She Was the Daughter of Mr. >Vm. Fowler?Burial at Mt Pleasant. ?? Laurensville Herald, 21st.

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 oomi'no'f onowtir wnnlrt hp materially . a^Aiuot auui vnj n vu*\4 v~. ? strengthened. ASKS FOR CUSTODY OF THAW. Coos County Official Seeks Right to . Return the Prisoner to Sew i York. I' 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. ?j Figures for Cotton to >'oyember 14 Are 10,434,3S7. Washington, Nov. 21.?The fifth cotton ginning report of the census bureau for the season, issued at 10 o'clock this morning, announced that 10,434,387 bales of cotton, counting round as half bales, of the growth of 1913 had been ginned prior to Friday, November 14, to which date during the past seven years the ginnings have averaged 72.9 per cent, of the entire crop.

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. . fs "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. SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.

InB Staiulan 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."
