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"

ADVISES FARMERS |
TO WATCH THEIR CONGRESSMEN
AND THEIR SENATORS.
Says They Must Not Allow Themselves
Fooled bjr a Few Bulletins
and Garden Seed.
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

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

"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.

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.

HEALTH BOARD URGES CLEANUP
DAY FOR THE STATE.
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.
