Change Made in Record in His Office?Merely a Fight in the Greenville County Legislative Delegation v ?-Mr. Blease Statement. V v Concerning the Green>.lle County appointments fur township commis/ aioners that have created such a stir In the upcountry, to the extent that an affidavit was made and published by a member of the Greenville dele * jration, charging the governor with changing names, a statement was Friday given out by the governor. Here is the statement about the mat' ter given out by the governor: "On February 13th, 1911. the recommendations were handed in for Greenville county, accompanied by a note signed by W. L. Mauldin. senator. Later. Mr. C. D. Smith came in and asked to be allowed to make some changes in the recommendations. The governor requested him to take the matter up with Miss Newnhara, who was then a stenographer in the office, Miss Xewnham having charge of this part of the work. The governor, going into the front room, with Mr. Smith, and instruct ing Miss Newnham to make such changes as Mr. Smith suggested. Miss Newnham says a large, stout gentleman came to her and stated thai he ranted to make the changes, but did nr>t have the names with him, but that he would get them. He later came back and suggested that Miss Newnham Insert the names in the townships in her own handwriting, crossing out the names sent in on the original list. After Miss Newnham made the changes, she asked the governor if he wanted to look at them, and the governor said, "No, go ahead and make the appointments Just" like he gave them to you" and the appointments were made. "The following letter explains the ohonirlnv nf thp names: I " 'Greenville. S. C., Mch. 11, 1911. "His Excellency, Cole L. Rlease, Governor of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. " 'Dear Governor: In re appointment board of assessors Cleveland township, Greenville county: Your excellency has appointed Ben Hagood. W. L. Morgan and J. D. Drake on the recommendation of Mr. C. D. Smith and myself. I find that we were mistaken in the initials of Drake, and same should be C. G. Drake instead of J. D. Drake. There is no J. D. Drake in this township. I suggest that you have an oath sent to our clerk of court reading to C. G. Drake, recalling the one to J. D. Drake. There Is a email kick going on from friends of Senator Mauldin, but they amount to nothing, and didn't support either you or myselt. " 'With best wishes. I am. (. " 'Yours very truly, " 'Wilton H. Earle." "After the appointments were made, Senator Mauldin came to the governor and statei that the original list contained the names of th^ parties recommended by a majority of the Greenville delegation and insisted upon their being commissioned. "The governor, in view of the renf Tiiripo RmpSt fiftTV In regard to such appointments, revoked the commissions of those appointed, and commissioned the parties who were recommended by a majority of the Greenville delegation. "The governor says that there was nothing dishonorable in the transaction on the part of any one, so far as he can see; that Mr. Smith wished t the changes; that they were made for him, and Senator Mauldin insisted upon the appointment of the original named parties; and. in obedience to the decision of Judge Gary, these parties were appointed. . That it was . merely a delegat'on fight and that he does not see that anything dishonorable has been done by anybody, and that he Is surprised at Mr. Smith endeavoring to place the blame for the changes on a secretary in ttie office" WILKINSON SUCCEEDS MILLER. X * * X Trustees Choose I^csident of State Colored College. Recently Professor Robert Shaw Wilkinson, of Charleston, the only member of the original faculty remaining in the employ of the institution was elected president of the State Normal and Industrial College at Orangeburg, suceeding Thomas E. Miller, who resigned under pressure from Governor Blease. According to Governor Blease, in whose office the meeting was held at noon, no nominations were made. "It was moved," 6aid the Governor, "that the board enter on the election of a president. On the first ballot Wilkinson received four out of seven votes, and on my motion his election was made unanimous." The Rev. N. C. Nix, formerly vice president of the College, whose connection with the institution ceased in 1910, following a fight with President 'Miller, was elected to a full professorship. Nix owns a fine plantation in Orangeburg County, inherited from his farther. He war educated at Claflin. At present he is pastor of Mount Pi6gah Baptist church in Orangeburg. He had been mentioned for the presidency, j- President Wilkinson is fPom Charleston. He has been a teacher in the college since its foundation.

Having tailed to secure a bill to prohibit cotton speculation, to get parcels post, tariff legislation beneficial to the farmer and other laws | through a Republican congress. Fres ident Charles S. Barrett, of the National Farmers' Union, Is going to Washington at the opening of the extra session to see if the farmer can expect anything more at the handt of the Democrats. The national legislative bureau of the union will be maintained throughout the session, and Pr'si dent Barrett will personally spend as much time there as possible. In a statement just 6ent out to the organization he it frankly skeptical of results, unless the farmer wakes up to his opportunity and forces action. He declares he would not be surprised to "see a semblance o. tariff reform," or "no tariff reform at all." He makes it rather plain -* **-* imh mAPA onn FiH onpo lliai u? iiaan i. uiuiu uiui t WUUUV..W in the Democratic organization than the Republican, unless pressure is brought to bear. In many ways President's Barrett's latest communication is his most interesting. because he speaks out frankly and unafraid about things. Here is what he says: To the Officers and Members ot the Farmers' Union: At a moment when politics is in a rarely formative condition, congress meets in extra session. I am aware that at the preseni time the plans of the leaders who will control the majority in the next house are as yet uncertain. The platform and the immemorial precedents of their party pledge them to a tariff reform. At the same time the past attitude and performances of the "Insurgent" contingent in the Republican party commit them in the same general direction. Meanwhile, the so-called "standpat" Republicans are to be remembered. They have seen the drift 01 the country and with characteristic political astuteness may be expected to keep reasonably near the baud wagon. Back of these varied elements. each of them striving to promote their little individual cause, lies the presidential election in 1912?and you can rest assured none of them are loosing sight of this great event. In fact, much of what is done in the extra session and in the next regular session will be largely directed toward gaining good strategic position for the presidential election. If you want tariff reform, now or in the regular session, it is up to you to watch each individual member of congress, especially the newmember who went to congress on a tidal wave of promise, not forgetting either the senators, since it is only a question of time before w-e elect senators directly by the people. I would not be surprised to see a semblance of tariff reform enacted at the approaching session, nor would I be surprised to see no tariff reform enacted. We can tell more, and I can more accurately advise members how to bring pressure on their indi-| vidual representatives, when congress meets and we get a look at the line-up. You will be kept posted from time to time. In the meantime, remember that unselfishness is not the predominating note of politics, and that to get results we must follow closely the records of all lawmakers, not ex? ? ~ ~ * U AftA ufA bnou* orn n n r I'epiXll^ lliuac nuun UI v vu? friends. Remember that they, too. are only human. This 1b as good a moment as any other to tell you what the average, not the exceptional, politician thinks of the farmers. He regards the American farmer as a sleeping elephant?with the politician as his official keeper, who must exercise carefully the sacred function of his office. He knows that may happen again in the past the elephant has awakened and writes his impress on national legislation. He knows that my happen again any time! But he also knows how to keep the elephant quiet w-ith a few furious speeches about nothing, by playing on his prejudices, by getting the man with a little "fluence" in the "district" a little Job that will keep votes corralled. He also handshakes, asks after the wife aud children, sends government bulletins i for which there is scarce room at Washington) and garden seed (which occasionally | will sprout >. He seems to be "raising dust ' for the farmers. In reality, the average member is bending e\ery energy to get re-elected. He would as soon work, for the farmers as for himself, if the latter woke up and made him do it. and let him understand that he would not be paid off in "jollies." In handshakes, and in "hot air." In other words it is a game ol political poker, and you have got to keep calling! Their stock-in-trade is in knowing how susceptible the average voter is to these little counterfeit favors. Demand work, and they will quickly give it! There are many studious, hardworking members, who keep abreast of public questions, and really try to legislate for the general eood. I gi\e them the credit. But they need to he increased, by the farmer showing that he will give his vote only in exchange for service, not pretty words. All of this is said in the best of hu! mor, but the sooner you know how the congressman regards you, the quicker you'll get the results you are now surprised at not getting from this most pleasant and smiling gentleman.

"Praying Andy" Toth Was Railroaded to Penitentiary Because He Was a Foreigner. "Praying Andy" Toth, a life con- ^ vlct at the Western penitentiary, at Pittsburg, Pa., who has served 20 years for a murder he did not even se < committed finally has been released on a pardon from Gov. Tener. Toth is 50 years old. He is bent, weary and looks 70. In the crowd that greeted him as he left the prison. were his four grown sonB, all workmen in the mill from which he , was led a prisoner 20 years ago. The workmen cheered and Toth's lawyers, 1 who met him at the prison office, took 1 him to their offices down town in a cab, because the little old man would v not trust himself to a trolley car. "I never saw the man I am sup- c posed to have killed," said Toth, who 1 wept during most of his ride from E the prison. But he seemed to feel nu ( resentment. As he talked he fondled his rosary beads. "These kept me 1 from going insane," he said. "I E prayed every day to God and to the Blessed Virgin that she would inter- 1 cede with her Son that the truth 1 would some day become Known. When the Frick building was * reached Toth shied at the revolving doors at the entrance. He then took c the first elevator ride of his life. The c attorney's office is on the eighteenth ? floor. When the car ascended he 1 grasped the bars and held fast. He 8 smiled and remarked: "I feel as if c 1 were going to Heaven." Toth's wife returned to her home in Hungary years aso, broken heart- I ed. The sons wanted to send for her: 1 hut the old man said no, that he * would return to the fatherland, too. * "First. I must go see my eight ? grandchildren, that I have never * seen, and then I must see the chjl- 1 dren of Quinn. the murdered roan, and tell them I didn't kill their fath- 8 er, and then I'll go back to the old 1 country," said Toth. Toth was convicted through a mis- ' taken identification. The real raur- ' derer never was discovered. Toth's A innocence was discovered by accident ten days before he was released. 1 Convicted with Toth were two other 1 innocent men, one of whom died in prison, and the other established his 1 innocence several years ago. 1 FACTORIES TO RE ERECTED. ' * i Interest Taken in Tile Work for ( Farms in the State ' The State says it is very probable that several tile factories will be established in the State during the present year. The erection of tile factories follows the campaign for drainage conducted last summer by the United States farm demonrtration work in the coast counties. A. G. Smith of the United States office of farm management delivered a series of addresses in the Interest of tile drainage in the low country and aroused much interest. The first tile factory to be erected in the State was at Bowman, In Orangeburg county.This factory inaugurated by Samuel Dibble as a kind of experiment. There is a movement on foot for the estadlishment of tile foctor*' ies at Marion and at Manning. One of the most important measures to be adopted by the last general assembly was the enabling drainage act whereby drainage districts will be formed and the owners of land in the coast counties permitted to drain many thousand acre6 of land. There ire approximately 3.000,000 acres of land to be drained in this State. What is to lie Done. 1 The New York World thinks that some way should be devised by the Senate and the President of withdrawn.? Statehood from California 1 and reducing it to the rank of Ari- ( zona as a Territory. Before adjourning. the State Legislature at Sacra- ' mento decided to submit to the people a constitutional amendment pro- | viding for the recall of all elective officers, including t.he judiciary. Because the people of Arizona em- \ bodied a similar radical provision In their new State Constitution they ( are denounced as unfit for Statehood ' aild threatened at Waslrlngton with 1 being held forever under a Territorial form of government. In the innocence of their souls they only did what their nearest neighbor among the States proposes to do, and what any other State has the right to do if it wants to. It will be remembered that Bailev threatened to resign because the Democrats on the judiciary committee voted to admit Arizona to Statehood with this provision in her constitution. No doubt he will now take the ground that the Territory of a u . ~ Arizona UUglll IU u<- I'auru i wui Statehood for setting the State of California a had example. But that would not punish California. The question is what is to he done with her and other States that persist in adding these Democratic provisions to their constitutions? The great Bailey must be placated somehow. LET HIM KNOW. If you have a friend worth loving. Love him. Yes. and let him know That you love him. ere life's evening Tinge his brow with sunset glow.

"The new dispensary commission will do the work that the legislative nvestigation committee was to do ind will save the State that much noney." 'Making this statement Gov. Dlease 'etoed the measure passed by the last jeneral assembly providing for a ommission to investigate the acts md affairs of the old State dlspenlary commission, which act was rejuested by himself.

Blease has ordered to make an Investigation of the affairs of the old state dispense ry and pass sentence jpon the old members of the comnission. Just when and where the work will commence has not been announced. The new commission held ,ts first meeting Monday, when an nrganization was perfected by the election of James Stackhouse as :hairman. B. F. Kelly of Biahopville was elected secretary. The commission received all of the papers leld by the old commission which was dismissed by the governor sev?ral days ago and will take charge of be final windliig up of the affairs oi he old State dispensary. Gov. Blease said that he would urn all of his papers over to the lommlssion to be used in the invesItrafInn K*?vprfll dAVR ftSO the ffOV >rnor said that he had a "mountain >f testimony" that he would produce it the proper time. He said that all >f his evidence would be used by the lew commission in Its work. The members of the old dlspenlary commlasion who are to be Investigated by the new commission ire: Dr. W. J. Murray, chairman, Columbia; John McSween, Timmonsrtlle; A. N. Wood, Gaffney: J. Steele 3rlce, Yorkville, and Avery Patton, 3reenville. These members served the State of fkiuth Carolina for four years and saved from the wreck approximately *500,000, which has been turned over to the State treasurer. They invited investigation. Shortly after taking the oath of office Gov. Please sent a message to the general assembly intimating "crookedness" on the part of the iKo A (arvnnca rv mm m ,K uirui uci o vi kuv ?.up. ^ slon. He requested that a commission be named to make a thorough Investigation of all of the acts and affairs of the commission Vpon the request of the governor the general assembly passed an investigating act. There were to be three members from the senate and three from the house, series of letters, all of which have Smith named Senators Carlisle of Spartanburg, Clifton of Sumter and Sullivan of Anderson as the committee from the senate. Mendel L. Smith, speaker of the house, refused to name his committee until the act had been approved. fJov. niease upon bearing of the names of the senate members refused for the time to sign the act. He -gave as his reason, "Oh, that mine adversary would write a book." stating that all of the senate members of the committee had written books about him. He then asked if any one thought tnat he would let men like the senate's committee make an investigation of the dis pensary commission and himself. Several days ago Gov. Hlease said that h?? was making a little investigation himself and that when he got through an investigating committee would not be needed. Following this he announced the alleged Folder series of letters, all of whim have been printed. T. B. Felder. of Atlanta, on being notified of the action hy the governor, wired that he deemed it in appropriate to make any statement at thfs time. The commission was in session several hours during the day. A conference was held with Attorney General Lyon and Dr. Murray, the retiring chairman. Arrangements were made whereby the records held by the old commission will be turned over to the new body. Gov. Blease said that it was very probable that the new commission would hold ?n open court summon witnesses and exa nine flnto the details of tb % wc-k of he retiring commission.

StAte Health Officer Williams Makes Vigorous Plea for Statewide Spring Cleaning Next Month. April 10 is the day designated by the State- -board of health for a Statewide "clean-up day." State Health Officer C. F. Williams said Tuesday that the custom of having such an annual ' health festival" was of long standing in many of the States, though here it will be an Innovation. Dr. Williams said in discussing the matter that sanitarians today believe in asepsis?the removal of dirt ? rather than in antisepeis?the disinfection of dirt. The clean-up day he picturesquely styled a "vernal renaissance of our sanitary morals." Observance Oi such a day, he said, is accepted by the outside world as evidence "of enlightenment, sanitary culture and a desire for the beet in morals and physique on the part of those participating." Dr. Williams has had printed some advance sheets of a board of health bulletin, in which some suggestive paragraphs occur: "Previous to the day set for cleanup' day, a meeting of citizens in each community Bhould be held, to formulate some systematic scheme for cleaning up their town. "Householders should be :in at knnoa?Hnnhtious ei'prv citizen feels ' that his house, his outhouses and his hack yard are clean, doubtless he is mistaken. The board of health does not undertake to accuse any one of dirtiness, It does urge that on this one day of the year every man, woman and child, and all their premises, be made cleaner than they ever were before. "Dirt and trash of all kinds, old pipers, tin cans, decaying wood, the remains of baby's Christmas toys, the pile of decaying food under the kitchen window, the trash in the gutters that you have been planing to move, but haven't got around to the foecal accumulations about the outhouses, the chicken head by the woodpile where last Sunday's victim was executed?Cl?an up, pile up and burn ot haul off ail of them and give your fence and outbuildings a fresh coat of whitewash?leave the front yard for the last?it probably is doing fairly well. When you get through, go ?<>?/4 ?->ffar tn W.ln vniir neighbor ?he will refuse It, but he won't need help next time, and you will h-ive aided the cause that much. "At school the teachers should lay books for a day? explain to the children the odject of the day's worx, and 6tart them playing the game of running down germs. ( "Small boys like to kill thlncs, lei them know that every can of water emptied kills hundreds of mosquitoes, every mass of decaying filth burned is death to thousands of flies, every coat of whitewash buries millions of germs?give arbitrary numerical values to these different operations and let the kids keep score of their "killings." Put them in aprons and let them daub whitewash to their hearts' content. "When the school is clean ipside and out, send them home tc help with the domestic clean up. "Business men, clean up. Clean your back yards, clean out your stores and cellars, wipe off all dust and mold from old stock ?clean your windows, your signs, your pavement and the ditch beyond .t. "Hotels and restaurants oflVr a vast field for cleaning up in dining room, kitchen and bed rooms. Put on fresh linen everywhere, thus (lying the flag of cleanliness. "The municipality can do its share by cleaning public buildings, parks and streets, and most, important of all, by arranging <.0 remove all waste, trash and garbage as they are placed in convenient places by householders. "Let railroads and street railways try Just this once the experiment of having their cars, waitine room and toilets in cleanly and sanitary condition. "Aside from the moral effect of such a campaign, the beautifying effect, and the educational value of such a demonstration, the following good results are sure to follow in some degree: "Fewer flies during the spring and summer. "Fewer mosquitoes this summer therefore "Less typhoidfi malaria, and hookworm and diarrhae disease. "Freedom from disgusting odors from your own or some other back yard. "General improvement in the appearance and sanitary tone of ycur home town. "The advertising value to you ana your town which such a clean-up day will bring." Must Start I tight. "No young man starting out for himself, being dependent upon his own exertions, can afford unnecessary expenses." says the Georgetown Times. "He must deny himself extras or always remain poor. Kven a five cent cigar each day will ainoun* to $18.23 in one year; and on*- who saves that sum will be much ahead of one who spends it. And the habit of saving will be worth everything. If he saves $18.25 each year, only putting It at six per cent, simple interest. it would in twenty years amount to $570. Re much for on" little trifle of indulgence. He who would in a few years be independent, and not envy the "capitalist," must start r'ght." Few young men will agree with the above, but it is the plain, simple truth. It is not mean* to be miserly, out saving and not wasteful. One of the first lessons we must learn. If we want to succeed, is the le&6on of self-denial. We must learn to deny ourselves those things that we cannot afford, and not envy our neighbor because he can have luxuries, or even necessaries sometimes, that our means will not permit us to indulge in. That is the way to be happy. Given Two Minutes. At Blueflelds, W.
