Blease, twice governor of South Carolina and one of the leading Red Men of the .State, is attending the convention in this city. Mr. Blease has been a member of the order for the past twenty years and Vit one time held the office of great sachem, being the highest in the stare. He is a member of the tribe from novpr hnviny transferred *,> Wi. i%y 11 v ? v * - . 0 "nis membership to Columbia. Mr. Blease had but little comment xo make on the political situation, saying that he had been devoting his entire time to his law practice in Columbia. He was very much impressed by the growth of Greenville and said that there were many evidences of progress here. Asked as to who would be the probable standard bearers for the two parties, Mr. Blease said that he considered things very uncertain at this , juncture. "I don't think that there is any prediction at this stage which has any great chance of coming true. ? - ~ J 1 Koth the uemccrais uu? ncj;uuucans appear to he rather unsettled and there-may be some big surprises when'the candidates are selected." Mr. Blease inquired as to the number of candidates who had entered the race for c-oncrrefcs from the pQurth District. Pie made no comr ment on the chances of the various men Who have come out for tl^e office. t The former governor appears to be in the best of health and retains much of the striking appearance that < "he presented when a famous figure in South Carolina politics. With the exception of his hair, which has turned a trifle more gray, he looks as vnnn? as when first he appeared be fore the voters of the state. I j PAPER SHORTAGES RESULT OF WASTE i * j 'Head of American Paper and Pulp Company Declares Canada Dares Retaliation. I I New York, April 15.?Prodigal methods in American forests and paper mills have brought the indus try and the consuming public face xo face with an alarming paper shortage which can be remedied only by adoption of a comprehensive policy of forest protection.

Columbia llcvor.l. Two <\nd four nu'irtb'.-vs of :!:v- i-ouse of *'cprese::t::lives haw (I'.vl i-e?J t ' aei-ept the extra pay voted for legislators by the recent '"entv; 1 Assembly. The Senators and, rr.'.-r.:be:j have dubbed themselves la a few.eases "conscientious objectors." They opposed the appropriation of additional pay for legislators during the General Assembly session, and they take the position now that they do not fee! justified in taking the ex 11a chocks. i ney nav^ l emmeu tv the clerks of the two branches the checks sent them as "over time." It is understood that Speaker Cothvan and Representatives ?.Io\vev, of Newberry. Meares of Fairfield, and Buckingham oi Aiken, have returned Aheir extra checks. Senators -JohnTone. of Newberry, and McColl of "tlarlboro, are the .members of the ipper branch who saw tit not to accept the money. _asjltsx y The Overalls Uiub. \'t-ws and Courier. One good thing may he said of the Overalls Clu'os which have been -;>ri::ging up like magic over the South during the past week: at least they evidence a conviction on the part of a great many people that the limit in high prices has been reached. Those who have been taking advantage of conditions ever since the tl l iill? i n i; hj v higher vwill do well' to take careful note of the fact that the publicpatience has reached the breaking point. The formation of Overalls Clubs shows that thousands of people have gotten to the stage where they are ready to do something and are prepared to follow almost any leader who offers them a tangible suggestion to act on. It is a very grave question, however, whether these Overall Clubs, if they continue to multiply and pain mefoibers. will not do a great deal of harm. The view of so clear-sighted a paper in the matter of this kind a? the New York World is that they t probably will. The World notes that in Birmingham, where .the idea originated. one of the first results was a boosting- in price of overalls from $2 to $0. It thinks that something of this kind is likely to be repeated throughout the country. In that ev^nt we shall be lucky if' the sudden demand for overalls is not made the ov>nco -fnv "fnrtVinr \vao"p. and nrice increases all along the line. RAGGIN ?EM. Greenville Piedmont. Consider the English- "rag." It has no synonym in the language of the United States. It means an , uprising, usually by young men. "Ragging" is a national habit {and there is none exempt. If a man is disliked he is "ragged." Frequently the English show their admiration for a man by "ragging" him. The performance of the **rag" in either case, differs but slightly. Pussyfoot Johnson was "ragged." lie lost un eye us u iccuu. n ?v?a said the "raggers" didn't .like pussyfoot. j Premier Asquith was "ragged" not long ago. His top hat wis mashed about his ears and then stolen. The entire top of his automobile was crashed and the tires cu~. It was I said the "raggers" liked the premier very much. , The king was 4 lagged" a few days ago. His majesty enjoyed the "rag." Regulations were waived in this case and the "rag" conducted at a respectful distance. English papers do not rniss an issue' without an account of the "rag'-oi this man or that. It. was a "rag" when Parliament members poked fun at Lady Astor and a "rag" when striking railway men blackened the eyes of non-union workers v:h > look the"; pJm vs. _ ^ ?
