Iturul Telephone*. Durham (N. C.,) Bun. We are glad to notice that quite a number of farmers of this coun ty -t have recently Installed tele phones in their country homes with connection with the Durham ex change. There is nothing .* that' adds more to the comforts and pleas ure of living in the country than a telephone. Jt brings to the home assurances of safety from many evils that come to the country home. The telephone places the home in instant connection with medical aid; it commands Inutant assistance in case of accident, fire or other calamity, and In case of business it is of very great impor tance. The farmer who has a telephone in his home saves? his horses and teams many needless trips. He can know when to go to market by phoning and findiug oout the price of products on the day ho expects to go to market. If the prices are low he can wait until next day or next week. In fact the advantages of the telephone in the country home are so numerous that it is impossible to mention them in de tail. We are glad to know/ that our farmers are waking up to their value, and we predicts that as tt few live, progressive farrpers install thelse conveniences that others will follow. At present we have several lines running out from Durham. We hope to see the day come when the entire county will be covered by rural phone lines. ?

Incurred for me the ha tred of the editor# of the Colum bia BUte, and from that day to thU nothing too mean or hitter could have heen said by them about ine. And why? Because I stood by a Tillman. Certainly then I had the right to expect that you would not take any part In the race for governor, but on the contrary that you were friendly and that If you were not friendly, moat assuredly that you would be neutral. Partic ularly, Senator,, when my defeat would not only have ruined me po litically, but blasted my peeraonal character for all time ? and yet, thruout the entire race, I spoke kindly of you and even after your letter wun published, when friends phoned and wired me what * to do in regard to you, I said that I was willing for the people of Bouth Car olina to pass between us and say which one they wanted, or If they wanted both. In Washington Mrs. Blease and Mrs. Tillman were both present when the conversation I referred to took place. You say Mrs. Till man could not remember, but * wish to say to you, sir, that the veracity of ladies shoud not be in volved in such matters. You may speak of It,- but I shall certainly not bring either Mrs. Tlllinan or Mrs. Blease Into this controversy. The charges which you have seen fit to refer to In your letter have been absolutely and flatly refuted (see reply to Augusta slush and other replies whlcn I have put for ward during this campaign.) I have never received one cent, for granting a pardon/ nor have I ever received one cent for any official ac tion since I have been gvernoor ex cept my salary from the 8tate of South Carolina. . You did not come to me or my friends for explanations. You took the newspaper articles for it, when you, yourself, say that they ilea most maliciously on you. My dear sir, what about the charges against you? When they claimed that Hubbell sent you 000 which Lyon and Chrlstensen had the ltev. Mr. Turnlpseed brought before them to prove that he delivered you the package while He was express agent at Columbia? What about the piano they claimed you received? What about the Hub boll money they nay you received? What about the articles they say were Bent you by Nelll from the penitentiary? What about the Or?" gon land deal, which -Mr. Roosevelt laid at your door? You said they were untrue. I believed you, Sen ator, ub your other friends believe you. If you want some further infor mation as to some of the InveBtiga tlons which were made against you by Lyon and ChrlstenBen, I will be ple&sed to furnish you with copleB of the Pinkerton Detective agency s reports, which were filed with some mmbeera of that committee, hl^t which were never made known tP the full committee and never made public, and which I have been only able to get since I have been gov ernor of my state. You say "Haskelism and Blease iBm" should be buried In the same grave. The men ? the laboring peo ple ? who buried Haskelism, brought forth Bleaselsm and they are faith fully protecting their cause and loy ally upholding their chief. Nobody can truthfully charge me with not being governor of all the people. T have stated on the stump often and repeatedly, that when it came to holding the scales of justice be tween my fellow men, that in tne discharge of my duties as governor, if I found that my enemy was right and that my friend was wrong .that my enemy would be upheld and that my friends would go down, and such replies as "That Is right. . ??That's the "boy." "We know It, governor," and loud applause have come back from the audiences. 1 added to that, that when it came to giving out political patronage, "None but a Blease man need ap ply." I mean it, senator, because 1 believe truly and honestly that a man should stand by his friends, and you should have stood by me. You charge me with ambition. 'I had no ambition, Senator, but to be governor of my people; the only ambition that I had, or that ? have is to serve my state and my peo ple fairly and impartially, honora bly and straightforward, and to Touring car $900. runabout $625.

The people have risen; they have endorsed me in ray ad ministration, giving me a victory the greatest the state haa ever known ? and we propose to have It stand. You speak of Dr. Babcock ??? to thltt I need make no reply; for, you yourself, have admitted enough. As to helping me grant pardons, or giving me advice, I thank you very much. If your services are needed, you will be called upon, but you need not at all fear being dis turbed from any of your regular duties, along that line. You also <?ay I have stolen the affection of your people from you. Not true, Senator, in this contest and crlsla of political affalrgr? )t is not that they love Tillmail less, but that they trust Cole JU Blease more. Very respectfully, ..

MIhs Kate Rountree, a .student in the North Augusta school has a chleved a feat in the industrial his tory of this section that Is a rev elation- to older men and wpmen and an Inspiration to children every where. It came about in this way: In the spring of 1912 Miss Marie Cro mer, now Mrs. Cecil H. Selgler, the wife of Aiken county's progressive and efficient superintendent of ed ucation, visited the North Augusta schools aijd made an enthusiastic and persuasive appeal to the girls to organize a Tomato club. About twelve girls wbo could get the ne cessary one-?6jith of an acre Jojned 1 the club and started the work un der the supervision and direction of the general tomato and canning phases of the state and United Stattes departments of agriculture. Miss Pauline Smith of the sopho-' more class and Misses Selbelle Moy er and Kate Hountree, who will be in the senior or fourth year in the Schultz High school next term, have been the most successful in the undertaking. The yield from Miss Rountree's patch Is particularly gratifying. She has already canned from her one - tenth acre 950 quarts, which - are safe and secure; besides losing, between 200 and 300 quarts because of delay In shipment of cans. How ever, there Is still a young < top crop from which she will easily can enough to raise her net com mercial product to 1,000 quarts. Furthermore, Miss Rountree's cans are honest quarts of real food. The tomatoes were peeled and packed into the cans as long as they would hold any part of a tomato. Miss Rountree has been offered 11 cents a quart, but expects l2i 1-2. Even at 10 cents a quart she has earned $100 from one-tenth, of an acre or the rate of $l,000?/per acre. The young ladles who have had the courage to plan and the fatthJ and perseverance to accomplish the results deserve the highest com mendation and a generous reward at the hands of the peeople of tthis^ section and this state. These la dles are excellent students, cultur ed and refined, and at the same time they have the common sense and the will to do something with' their hands that is really worth while. . ? These successful efforts not on-, ly dignify toil and' instill correct^ ideas of labor, industry, patiehcej and steadfastness of purpose; .but! they reveal to the leading men and women the unmesaured possibili ties In the natural agricultural i*e sources of the South when inten sive methods are employed. At thei above rate a ten-acre farm would yield $10,000 annually, and there1 are other crops that might be even' more profitable than tomatoes,^ with Intensive management.' Much honor be to the girls who> are doing this work, and the hlgh-j stte praisb be given Mrs. Seigler, ; who Is honored in Aiken county, the state of South Carolina, JUid the United States as .the original* prime mover, in the organization of Girls' Tomato Clubs In America?
