Williams, who was here 59 years ago while he was with us defending our dear old state during her darkest days? He was the fear* less editor of The Greenville News. Yes, he, like this writer, wore the dear old red shirt of the immortal Wade Hampton, whom we elected in 1$76. Yes, Hampton routed the in famous carpet-bagger, scallawag and . negroes. They, as you know, bank rupted our dear old state, Publish this so your subscribers may know the facts. Our old friend, A. B. Williams, long editor of The Greenville News, had a communication in that paper recently advising the people of South Caro lina, to whom he has always been a loyal friend, to support Senator Dial fpr re-election. He said his observa tipn in Washington convinces him that the senator is one of the strong est men in the senate, has won the respect of that great body, already is a great power there, and will be come more powerful and therefore 1 better able to serve the people of the state'and give old South Carolina the high* place her history entitles her to have in the councils of the nation. That is all right. But Mr. Williams used to live in the Piedmont belt and his paper, spoke fur this section, and he might have brought the matter closer to home and given some special reasons why this pari of Squth Caro- ^ lina should roti up a majority for “Nat” Dial.which will make his re- election sure beyond all question. He never has been a sectional man and no claim that he is more interested in this part of the state than in any other, although he was born among us here ip the foothills of the Blue Ridge, and is far more familiar with our conditions and needs than most men in any part of the state. But it is true that he has started some work ^Jn the senate foe us in which w# have deep and direct interest, although it ^will be fSiT the benefit of Charleston btid tWYKfddle country as well as for Purs. _ A new man would have to begin all over again, even if he undertook the same work and took the same inter- ; v *st in it that Senator Dial has. A dew man in the senate is like a cat in a strange garret and, has to prove himself before he can amount to much br do muchr Senator Dial has done much work and is in position now. Makes First Declaration Since Candi dacy. Would Permit Sale of Light * _ Wineo and Boor, New York, June 8v—-For the first time since becoming an avowed can-, didate for the Democratic nomination for president Gov. Alfred E. Smith today expressed himself in favor of roviaion of the Volstead act to allow States that wore so disposed to legal ize the sale of light wines and boor. He also said he believed the Ku Klux Klah to be “contrary to the very prin ciples upon which this country is founded.” The governor stated his views in a letter to F. Robertson Browne of New York, chairman of the Self-determi nation League of Liberty. Mr. Browne had written to ask the governor where he stood on the prohibition question and what he thought of the reported efforts of the governor’s friends to prevent the insertion of an anti-Ku Klux Klan plank in the Democratic platform. Thf governor said he fav ored having congress fix a maximum of alcoholic content “based upo% sci ence and sound reasoning,” allowing each state to establish for itself what ever alcoholic content it chose, so long as it did not overstep the limit set in the national law.

He is Urging, we are informed, the government to buy big stretches of land in the mountains, now going to waste because not even the timber can be got out, to add to the Appala chian Park preserve. If he can get this through* it will not only put nice sums of money in the pockets of own ers who are getting nothing now but tax bills, but will add to the value of nil adjoining and neighboring lands. He is working, too, to have the gov ernment complete the road from Wal- halla to Cashiers Valley, and all of us know what that would mean for Oconee county, and all this pari of the state, and the state as a whole. A1 ready he has induced the Forestry Association to agree to build a bridge across Chattanooga river and spend $20,000 on t he road. He never misses an opportunity to do something and get something for us in the mountians. He knows what we need, and the long er he stays the stronger he gets. By bring promoted to the big committees, under the length of service rules, the more he can do for us. He. is not so much of a spouter, al- though, as Mr. Williams says, he is listened to when he talks because he talks plain common sense, knows What he is talking about, and cuts it short and sticks to the question and the facts. But he is a doer. He made that record before he went to the sen ate, when, instead of trying to get government jobs and reputation, he pent along quietly and built Ware ~jp£ Savaanah river, and J plants at Tumbling Boyd’s MiH, on R$edy bringing into jwe our wator- and making millions of dollars values of what was running to and organised‘the big Osroljna rer Company at Augusta.

The general* secretary was away from Columbia last night but, accord ing to information received at his residence, he has not yet made np his mind regarding the position. The postion to which Dr. Burts was elected amounts to a Call to the finan cial leadership of Southern Baptists.

Dr. George W. McDan iel, of Richmond, Va., president of the Southern Baptist convention, de clared that the .position to which the South Carolina seCreary has been elelted is the most important position in the gift of the Southern Baptist convention. The direction of the $75,000,000 campaign, towards which about $21,- 000,000 is yet to be raised befor the conclusion of the drive this year, is in the hands of the Rev. L. R. Scar borough, D.

Any amendment to the statutes can be made only by the peo ple themselves through their elected representatives in the congress of the United States.” The governor urged strengthening of the federal laws with regard to in terstate commerce and the importa tion of strong liquors. Speaking of the Ku Klux Klan, the governor said: “It seems almost a waste of time, after my long pyblic career, for it to be necessary for me to say anything about individuals or group of individ uals or any organization that ques tions the nationality, the race, the creed or the religion of any Ameri can.

He is doing much for us and has more iit sight, and there is a lot more we want done, and he is the man to do it for us and for the whole state. The biggest and most promising de velopment for all South Carolina is here in the Piedmont, and he knows it because he is of this country and unlerstands what can be done and ought to be done for-it by the govern ment. 4 .
