GETS VERY HOT. Answirs the Tm- ttetay of Mr. Uwls Porter. NO LANAHAN AGENT. AfltUrlt From One of the F1r.it end From Member* of Board of Control—8*7* There It • Con* apiraejr Agnlnt Him bjr the Oov- ernor and Mr. Patton and Some Other*. On* dajr last week Senator Blease of Nnwberry, arose In the State Sen ate to a question of “personal priv ilege'’ and made some remark* re garding the testimony given before the state dispensary commission by Meters. Lewis Parker and E. A. Smythe to the effect that he bad been employed by Lanahan ft Son to rep resent them before the former board of directors of the state dispensary. He said: i* I wish to ask the Senate to allow to be published in the Journal live affidavits which I hold. “Just before the campaign of 1906, Mr. President, the report was circu lated that one in the employ of the State was an agent for a liquor house. I had not any idea in the world, sir, that that meant me, and I never thought so until Senator Till man, riding on a railroad train one day. was asked the 'positive question as to who he referred to and he said to this gentleman, whom I suppose fc he thought was a very intimate friend of his and not a~frlend of mine, that Blease was the man whom he meant. “I Immediately sat down and wrote to the different gentlemen and asked If it was true, and if it wasn’t true to send me an affidavit, I read those affidavits at Union at the cam paign 'meeting two years ago. Just about the opening of this campaign, this year. Just after I had something to say about Mr. Avery Patton, along with this winding up eommlesion, again this matter is brought up. The governor is from Greenville, Mr. Avery Patton, of the winding-up commission, is from feeling and without temper, and P have told this senate what I believe. I have told this senate what I pro* pose to tell the people of South Caro lina. And the man that will come to my face and tell me that I was Lana* ban’s agent, then, Mr. President, the world will find out whether he and I are both brave men or not. -**I thank the senate for it* kind ness and ask that these remarks and affidavits be printed in tfie record." ESCAPED FROM JAIL. They Have Some Queer Ways Down in Dorchester County. The Dorchester Eagle says “last Thursday night week Sheriff Lime- house was greatly surprised when J. M. Walker, the white man con victed of killing Joe Denicola at Bad- ham over a year ago and sentenced to 16 years in the State penitentiary, walked up and applied for admission into the county Jail. The situation was explained when Walker told his story. “He showed a false key which he had cut from a piece of broom han dle. With this key he unlocked the doors and freed hjtnself- After trav eling a few miles, Walker decided to come back and give himself up to the sheriff. The whole matter sounds like a fairy tale, but the facta are there. “Walker has been awaiting a de cision of the Supreme Court upon the question of a new trial, and a few days ago the Court decided to refuse a new trial. Walker was tak en on Tuesday to Columbia where he has begun to serve his 15 years sen tence." * Agrees With Bryan. The Charleston Post says those who advocate the election of United States Senators by direct popylar vote will find good argument in fa vor of their position in the Kentucky Legislature’s deadlock, over the choide of a senator. The Legisla ture has been in session for a month and the term of its sitting is half over; a ballot has been taken every day for Senator, and no choice has yet i ibeen made, the rela tive positions of ex-Gov. Beckham, the nominee of the Democratic pri mary, and of Ex-Gov. Bradley, -the Republican candidate, being un changed at the end of the month’s Greenville’, both of the witnesses are (contest; only one measure has been from Greenville, the oorreepondent of I enacted into law, that providing the New* and Courier if. from Oreen- J & stenographer for the governor, '"I* V.oTbT.-'Lm- ‘S, 1 ! ‘hough taporunt legirtiou i. desr- campaign of 1808 here comes the ° r . _ . governor wife his—I want to be mild ^ by the people of^idState, affect- and I want to be polite—hi* wit-1 ng their material ibnqerests.

An- the conspiracy between him and his •el will answer to those people for "Greenville allies and newspaper cor respondent. He will not only an swer politically, bat be will also an swer to me as a man, face to face, be he governor or be he what he may.” Senator Blease here read an affi davit from Sam J. Lanahan saying that he never told Lewis W. Parker or any other person that Cole L. Blease was In his employ to look after his interest in the whiskey busi ness in South Carolina; and as a mat ter of fact he did not have Cole L. Blease so employed. “Now, Mr. President, this affidav it was published in the summer of 1906. Lanahan was then living and Parker did not deny It, or attempt to have Lanahan retract it. N<jw Lan : ahan is dead and can not simik; and the Greenville witness shows up. Why? Because I hit Greenville's Pat ton and am a,candidate for governor against Greenville's Ansel. Yes, sir, that is my belief as to the reason If a man, Mr. President, says—If my good friend, the senator from Richland says—that the senator from Bamberg told him thus and so, ai. u , . . - if I go to the serfatnr from Bamberg J P enns 'y v AUih somewhere for Judge and he aaye that the senator from | Gray will never get beyond the con iines of the section in which it was j put afloat. It died aborning. It is impossible now in many States---South Carolina, .for exam ple— in which the primary system of nominations is the established or der in politics, the choice of the pri mary being, in effect, an election by popular vote. In Kentucky the Democrats submitted the Senator- ihip to a general primary and Gov, Beckham was nominated by the par ty at the polls, but the nomination has not been accepted as binding by <ome of the Democratic members of ‘.he Legislature, who hold that Mr. Beckham employed methods to ad- /ance his own interest which have brought injury to-the party. While dection of a Republican Governor gives support to their contentions yet the light of the primary system as it is accepted Pin South Carolina and x>me other States, the argument ip spacious, and tmdflttbtedty-s-danger- ous precedent is established by their ittitude, which may arise to plague them in future. Gov. Beckman may not be the ideal Senator for Kentuc ky but he was the choice of the State for the office and it is not so <*ag todafend the position of the protesting members of his party in the Legislature, If Senators were elected by popular vote there would oe no chance of deadlocks and no 4tate would lack its full representa ion at Washington, as many have acked in times past, and the Legis- atures would be abHe to devote their time more completely to malT-~ ng laws desired by the people.

IN A TALK WITH HIM At Wright's Hotel In Jane, 1000, and in Justice to All Parties Con- t corned Calls on Blease to Name the “High State Official” Who Rep- ; resented the Lanahan Firm Before the State Beard. To the Editor of the News and Courier: Please pardon a few words in answer to Senator Cole L. Blease In his recent remarks In the State Senate with reference to my testi mony before the winding-up commis sion. The absurdity of the charge of conspiracy as made by Mr. Blease must be apparent, but there may be [ whole time of the aeasion has been given to political play, and that without any result, and the end iaf®" 0 *® 1 protest of Mr. Lyon, now all. Neither Capt. Smyth nor my self j was a supporter of Governor Ansel In the recent campaign. For myself, though I had the highest per sonal regard for him, I differed with him on the Issues of the campaign and voted for another. I have never had a communication with him or any one else referred to by Mr. Blease with reference to my testimony, except with Mr. Avery Patton, to whom, after having been subpoenaed as a witness before the wlndlng-up commission I wrote on Decbm^er 30, urging him “not again to put', me to the humiliation of ap pearing in a matter about which know practically notbing.’’ To this letter I have had a reply and had not seen Mr. Patton until I appeared before the commission a few days since. Mr. Blease asks the question why I waited until after Mr. Lanahan’ death to answe^. the question as to who Mr. Lanahan had .told me was representing him in South Carolina I agree with him that it was unfor tunate that the answer had to be made subsequent to Mr. Lanahan’ death, but I had no choice in the matter. No one know* better than Mr Blease why the question was not an swered two yegr* ago at the time of the hearing before tbe legislative committee. In June, 1906. It was upon Mr. Blease’e own motion and by tbe effort of his own vote that I was excused from answering the question at that time, against the HOME TRADE Somt of tte Dtsadvanteftt of Buying Goods by Mail t "7? By Proper Newspaper Advertising the Local Merchant May Compare Hmwfnlly With TUg OntaUW. In a recent talk Elmer S. Battersou of Chicago, a noted town boomer, ffiadc tbe following pertinent remarks con cerning tbe mall order trade and kin dred topics: “The mall order bouse has no advan tage over tbe local scores. Tbe cats logue bouse sends out a catalogue to the farmers once or twice a year. The local merchant may reach him dally in the local press; It costs at least $1 apiece to get out tbe catalogue. Tbe local merchants semi out little for ad vertising. Every new customer costs u catalogue house at least $1. The local merchant secures his patronage at a I As figure. A mail order bouse has a large force of clerks with a-^arge ex pense in a large city, and Ita goods are shown by pictures and printed pages some conditions not understood by la ^Ulogues. A local merchant can Richland Is a liar, what more can 1 do? The fight is between them. JiQually so the fight in this case Is between Lanahan and Parker; and why did Parker wait until Lanahan was dead? I do not say that Parker is a liar, but Lanahan says that Par- kar Is a liar. If Lanahah said that 1 was his agent he lied; and if Par ker says Yhat I was Lanahan’s agent he la a liar.” Why not make the lien law an is- iue in the campaign this Summer, | and And out exactly what the peo ple want done with it.

Haskell wants the in eelltng whiskey er Democratic party to surrender to ■ articles to the State dispensary, the money power of the North and Mr. ptmUntf —“—* Attorney General, and two other members of the investigating com mlttee. Having been excused by the investigating committee from answer ing the question then, it certainly would have been Improper and incon siatent for me subsequently to have rushed into print to make public statements which I had asked the Legislative committee to excuse me from making before them. Having been excused then from disclosing the personage referred to by Mr Lanahan, I was not called upon to note any denial by him that Mr Blease was the person referred to It will be noted, however, that Mr Lanahan never denied any part of the conversations referred to by me in my testimony. He merely denied that he had told me that Mr. Blease represented him, which at that time I had not testified to before the com mittee, because, as stated, I had been excused Mr. Blease certainly surprises me, however, in his statement to the ef fect that ha had no idea that I re ferred to him in my statements be fore the Investigating comnittee. When I testified in June, 1906, Mr. Lanahan had been advised of my having been subpoenaed and of the necessity of my testifying to my con versation with him if the Court de creed that I should do so; further more the attorneys representing Mr. H. H. Evans had been advised- be fore I testified of the purport of my testimony. As tbe intimacy between Mr. Blease and Mr. Evans was well known, I had presumed that it had been com- municVted to Mr. Blease what my testimony would be. This precaution was confirmed in my own mind by statements of Mr. Blease to me. On the evening of my testimony, whilst Mr. Haynsworth and I were supping together at W right’s Hotel^ Mr. JBIesse, who had been taking supper at a table some distance away, stopped at our table a moment, and after expressing bis approval of the position I had taken with reference to testifying said In effect that he was familiar with all the facts with regard to the employ ment of the party referred to by me by Mr. Lanahan; that he had no apollgies to make to anyone for vot ing to excuse me from giving the name, but that in Justice to the party referred to he wanted to say that that party had not undersood fully the service expected of mm when he accepted the employment, and when he did learn what was expected he declined to serve furthf, and re ceived less than two hundred dollars for his compensation. I understood the statement of Mr. Blease to be a diplomatic acknowl edgement of his connection with the matter, and, as, expressed in legal terms,-“a plea ol cen feast on and avoidance.*' Mr. Blease now denies that he had any connection with Mr. Lahfthsn. I may add that I am advised by Mr. Wm. Elliott of Columbia, who hoot quite ready to was my attorney in the proceedings before the Supreme Court, that Mr. Blease made to him practically the same statement as made above. In Justice to Mr. Blease himself, and in Justice to the memory of Mr. Lanahan, Mr. Blease is now, it seems to mat-called upon to say 'who was tee “kick jMate*Metal." whom Mr show his goods In bis window daily^ A local merchant has the advantage. Ho can give you goods on approval and exchange them easy, it takes time to make an exchange with a mail order boose. , . “Catalogue bouses do not undersell tbe local merchant. This is true.

Respectfully, t Lewis A. Parker. «. C-, Fekrmary The Augusta Chronicle, In oom- mentjngvedltorially jjn the formation of an Anti-Tuberculoeis Society makes some forcible and pertinent observa tions which apply to conditions In tbs city as pell as in Augusta. The people of this city should give every posible support to the Anti-Tuber culosis Society which is now in pro gress of organisation: “Tuberculosis is an evar present imminent peril. Ther* is no reason for any one’s attempting to minimise Its ravages or to scout the danger for that It Is here Is acknowledged by everyone, and that It can ba render ed Innocuous is also conceded by those who have made an extended study of It. “The matter is more than local, for It is not until every vestige 6i consumption, as the disease is vulgar ly called, is lost all over the country that the work of the anti-tuberculosis society will be accomplished. The dreaded germ lays in wait in the laundry we send to the washerwo men, in the public places wherfi we congregate, in the street and rallroat cars wherein we ride, In the very streets and in the homes we occupy. It is everywhere and yearly it takes a dreadful toll of lives as payment for negligence. “No one is safe as long as there is a consumptive wal¥Ihg the streets or occupying a bed In the homes where our servants live, or th# fam ily laundry Ts done. The germs are everywhere and It is only by right living, by qiireful methods. In oases where the disease has already been contracted, by prompt fumigation of houses where a death from tuber culosis has occurred and generally improved sanitation that tuberculo sis Is to be headed off and ta ravages entailed, if not eliminated. “We may not consider the dan ger worth noticing because our In dividual lungs are healthy and strong, but unless we are Inatten tive to the warnings on every hast we are living in a fool’a paradise, that may some day be turned into a torture when loved ones die from tuberculosis that we might have helped save if we had Joined in the work of the anti-tuberculoale society “There is work to be done by ev eryone, physician, minister, layman. And it should be done at once. The newly formed eociety knows how to perform the labor properly and it should have the personal and finan cial help of every loyal citizen. Every person who employs large numbers of men or women should become member and help by his purse to de stroy the menace. Every school teach er and principal can do much toward preventing the spread of the dleet by teaching those in their care what It is, how it-ravages and how it may be prevented. "The simple rule* of hygiene If followed will render one Immune et times. The teachers who desire can have the assistance of the antl-tuber- culols society In flndng out what to teach their pupUs. This is part of its work. "The physicians have entered into the spirit of the ntw organization most, heartily and will be found valuable assistance In the attack up on the strongholds of the white plague. But they should not be al lowed to wage the fight unaided or alone. “It really i» not to their finda- clal interest—to look at the matter iu a cold-blooded light—to enter Into the work of the anti-tuberculosis eo- clety and that they are eo doing is all the more reason why they should have the undivided assistance of the laymen. This Is everybody’s fight, helping every one of us. Everyone should enroll as a member of the society at once. Delay means much at this Juncture." FOOLISH YOUNG MAN. Gets in Serious Trouble For Raising a Money Order. A foolish young man by the name near of W. O. Warren, who lived Kline, in Bamberg County, haa got ten into serious trouble by bis dis honesty. Warren is charged with raising a oostofflee money order and the warrant for his arrest was sworn out by Postofflce Inspector 8. W. Kingsmore. Deputy United States Marshall A.
