VOL. XXXII BARNWELL. S. 0.. THURSDAY. MAY 1», 1909 BRYAN REPLIES Ti Tkt Criticisms of Claims, man Clark of Florida UNABLE TO APPEAR So He Write* a Letter to the House ot RepreeenUtlTeo of Florida, ■ i. Which Had Invited Him to Ad* •e r . derw It—He Discus sea Several 0 Hatters ot Importance. i ' t "When a representative cannot con- ■clentionsly do vhat his constituents conscientiously desire him to do, he ought to be conscientious enough to resign and let them select a repre sentative in harmony with them." This, in brief, is William J. Bryan’s attitude on the pending tariff bill, presented In a letter addressed to the Florida general assembly and-read In the house Tuesday night. Mr. Bryan found It impossible to accept the invitation extended by the leg islature to come to Tallahassee and address them in answer to Mr. Clark's criticisms of the Nebraskan and certain doctrines contained in the Denver platform. The reading of his letter was greet- £ ed with prolonged applause There are two schools of thought," says Mr. Bryan, -"in re gard to the duty of the official: The aristocratic theory la that people elect representatives (to think for them: the Democratic theory is, on the contrary, that people think for themselves, and elect representatives to slve legal expression to their thoughts and to voice their senti ments. • . _ **I am suspicious of the official whoso conscience Is dormant daring the campaign and only active when he wants to Bnd an excuse for do ing what his constituents do not want done." Turning his attention from Mr. Clark, Mr. Bryan addresses himself to certain proponed legislation as follows: * "There !s. a reform which should receive the support of all, whether they believe In prohibition or not. This reform Is thlf. that the Federal government shonld discontinue the Issuance of licenses for sale of liquor W territory where local authorities decide to prohibit its sale.” Touching on trusts and monopo lies. Mr. Bryan declares that “the trust question Is on with which the Btate must deal. Under our dual form ^f. government the monopolis tic corporations x have heen plavlng each government against the other. They contend that they are engaged In tntergtate commerce when the State attempts to legislate, and are staunch advocates of States rights whenever the federal government at- temnts to restrain. "The regulation of corporations is usually the most difficult suhiect with which a legislator has to deal, because of the Influence brought to hear npon the legislator by the cor porations. "State government .should em ploy their powers for the protee- -tlon of the puhlic against the evils of private monopolv and I believe that the best as well as the simplest solution will he found in legislation fixing the percentage of control which a corporation shall exert over the product in which he deals." As to the n^ed of more adequate hanking laws he says: "The banks are not now sufficiently secure, as Ik evidenced by the fact that ^the national government, the State gov ernments, counties and the cities all require special security. A large part, of the hanks prestige Is due to the fai* that It does business nndei a charter granted hr the gOTj^fu- ment and Is so regulated and Inspect ed as to give the depositors conff dence In its solvency, and It is onlv fair.” In conclusion Mr. Bryan said: "The initiative and referendum ar» , being adopted by State after State and they perfect our representative form of government by bringing the government nearer to the peo ple.” - A WEIRD STORY. THE POTASH TAX CONTROVERSY BETWEEN LEVER * '• ■ / * AND THE DAILY MAIL About the Matter—-Mr. Lever Does Not Claim That He Killed - f "'~'S ~ Proposed Tax Alone. the The Anderson Mall printed the following In Its editorial column of April 20: The glory that Representative Le ver has gotten out of the removal by the house ways and means com mittee of the duty on potash salts Is amusing to those who know some thing of the facta. Mr. Lever ls a member of the agri cultural committee, and he has doubtless availed himself of whatever advantage this may have offered to urge that fertilizer Ingredients be placed on the free list, but it may be positively stated that he was not the only congressman from South Carolina who urged the committee not to tax potash salts, and It Is very doubtful If he was the first to do BO. --7—- - - It is also very doubtful if the tax on the raw material will be worth a cent to the farmer. It Is certain that the manufacturers and not the farmers poured In telegrams to the dongressman to have tlte* tax re moved. We doubt If Mr. Lever can show a single telegram or letter from a single farmer In regard to It. Mr. Lever, with the Democratic party, is voting for free products of leather on the ground that free hides with a duty on the producta of hides, would help only the manu facturers. This may not be good reasoning, but It is good Democratic doctrine, and If It Is applicable to the aho* manufacturers it is also applicable to the fertilizer manu facturers. The practice with some national statesmen seems to he to grab every thing In sight. While their right to foist themselves upon the people Is not questioned, some little regard should he shown their associates who may be affected thereby. The friends of these, public servants should not take press comments touching their favorites too seriously. For instance, this from the Newb p rry Herald and News: "‘Congressman Lever won the fight for the farmers, not only of South Carolina, but whereVer commercial fertilizer Is used. By the way. who can tell who the other members of congress from Squth Carolina are? We are proud of Lever. He la a lit tle Newberry college boy." Perhaps other congressmen need to Inject more energy into their press agents, or to do a little more press agenting themselves. But the claim made for Mr. Lever is amusing the sensible people. Fancy Messrs. Payne, Dalzell and all the other Republican bosses, (^full ing into line when Mr. Lever effeks bis whip. Fancy their having heard that Lever was opposed to taxing potash salts, and then breathlessly waiting to And out if the report was true. Congressmen from the North. West, East and South, equally in terested, were asked to stand aside until Mr. J^ver had his way. Lever spoke, and then the objectionable tax was removed. Hurrah! Also Banzai! The Herald and News may claim as much as it pleases for Mr. Lever, hut It shonld not attempt to dispar age other congressmen equally as earnest and equally as faithful in the discharge of duty. The Herald and News’ fling comes with mighty poor grace from a city which has recently been given a $50,000 public building splely through the work of one other member of congress. The Newberry paper displays rank in gratitude, to say the least of it. WILL NOT VOTE For Protection on Lumber or Anything jEltib: TILLMAN AND SMITH Takes Their Democracy Straight and Will Fulfill Their Party’s Pledge By Voting to Carry Out Promise Made in the Democratic Platform for Tariff Reform. ... Zach McGee, writing to The State from Washington, says Senator Smith showed some "emotion Friday when he saw The State, containing the extract from the Virginia paper stating the new South Carolina sena tor was going to vote for protection on the products of his State. He was at that time turning off a lumber lobby^-hich wanted to convince him he odmn to vote for a duty on lum- hef. Some of the lumber lobbyists see ing the piece in the paper, supposed that Smith was open to a proposi tion, or at least ready to be con vinced. This, in spite of the fact, the senator says, that he had told them that he was going to vote the straight Democratic ticket, one plank of whose platform declared specifical ly for free lumber. The Virginia paper referred to Senator Smith of South Carolina. ‘ There are a good many Smiths In the country.” said the senator. ’Even the senate here Is loaded with them. This particular Smith Is a Democrat and whenever he can not act In accordance with the Demo cratic party’s principles, he’a going to resign his Job and get out.” The lumber lobbyists have been calling on both the South Carolina senators. Senator Tillman told them the same thing that Smith told them —that' he was going to vote in ac- cordasce with the platform which called for free lumber. The lumber lobby, by the way. which called on ^enatora Smith and Tillman renreaented themselves as from South Carolina. Six n^n called at Senator Snrtlth’s office one day, telline him that Rome of them were from South Carolina and some from other States, who had Interests In South Carolina. As they came out I met ,them. Do anv of you gentlemen live in South Carolina," T asked. ‘‘Well,’ answered one straightfor ward, honest-looking fellow. “I have interests there, but I can not ex actly say I live there. I live in New York.” "Are any of the others from South Carolina?” I asked. "No sir,” was his reply. ZACH McOEE. * Trained Pack of Wild Animals Eat Up a Child.

Three Men Arrested Charged With the Murder and One Confesses to the .Chief of Police. Prof. James H. Hyslop, of the American Society of Psychllcal Re search, who, with Dr. Isaac M. Funk, has revealed many of the mysteries of spiritualism, relates, in the forth coming Journal of Psychical Re search, the remarkable case of Mrs. Susan Dellinger, of York , Pa. Prof. Hyslop has spent many years In endeavoring to discover any actual facts which would prove the exlst- ance of a spirit world. In the case of Mrs. Dellinger he believes a ma terial fact has been found. William E. Hooper and his broth er, Curvin, were shot and killed near ft little church yard at York. Three young men were arrested and charg ed with the murder. o Mrs. Dellinger, according to Prof. Hysl-op, dreamed two nights after the crime that she had seen one of the alleged slayors, Henry Snydor, pick up a revolver and throw it over the cemetery f^nce, where it fell by the side of a grave, on which she read In her dream the epitaph of “Curtis Site.” On relating her dream the follow ing day to her son, Mrs. Dellinger de scribed minutely where the revolver wgg seen by her in her vision, and aald that it could be observed from outside the fence. The son went to rhe ceme.e' y and found the weapon »xactly w icre she had cribed. Sydnor subsequently cpjfessed to Ihe chief of police, accord! ig to Prof Hyslop, and said that ne had dis posed of the revolver in exactly the manner described by Mrs. Dellinger in her vision.

It may be that Capt. Collin Steph enson and the crew of the Ameri can whaling shlp^‘Carrie D. Knowles, long since thought to have been lost at sea, are still in a Venezuelan prison. An American seaman, who gives the name of Payne, an escaped pris oner from Venezuela, has made his way to Kingston, wh|re he laid be fore the authorities an astounding story of tb.- seizure of the Carrie D, Knowles at a Venezuelan port, where she arrived five years ago in dis tress, and the incarceration by the Venezuelans of the captain and his men. The authorities at Kingston have taken steps looking to a speedy and thorough Investigation of the case. On January 27, 1904, the Carrie D.

GoaldNng Was s Native of Sooth Carolina, and Designed the Ma- - chine While at College. An interesting story that has more than the ordinary earmarks of truth was tumbled upon by the aVeenville Daily News correspondent while rambling around in the vicinity of historic old Abbeville. Here is the story: Back in the 30’s there were In the old university at Athens, Ga., two young men who both became after ward Presbyterian ministers of more than local renown. One was a quiet student, who devoted his heart and mind to his books and afterward Ijecame, in connection with his minis terial work, a professor in old Ers- kin Coliege at Due West. The other, a young man of rest less, energetic, inquiring^ turn of mind, was always trying to solve some problem, the solution of which would lighten the burdens of the working people. Among his "new fangle” machines was one which would do the needlework of the family In much quicker time than many seamstresses could accomplish it. He was enthusiastic about his invention. It was a crude machine, . ^ - LIVING CM - v - —■ • fr-'- Attempt to Set Fire to the City Frustrated—At Hand Every Mam Was Killed, the MohaaMMdsas Sparing the Women aad Chfidraa Under Ten Yearn of A**.

I wish to say in behalf of all of th°m, your reprea^n- tativea and all, that they are alwav* llligent in all things that affect the Interests of South Carolina, and they were no less diligent In helping to remove this tax on commercial fer tilizers, which would have amount ed to a burden of more than a quar ter of a million to tbe farmers of the State.. You ridicule the idea that Measra. Payne and Dalzell, and other Republican bosses should fall In line when I crack my whip. I freely admit that personally I have no influence with either Mr. Payne or Mr. Dalzell. I am sure, however, that I have many influential Repub lican friends who. in this fight, did not* hesitate to let Messrs. Payne and Dalzell and other members of tbe ways and means committee know that they were interested in seeing notash salts and basic slag put on the free list and that this Interest was largeljnlue to their friendship for me. I mention among these, Messrs. Weeks of Massachusetts and Currier of New Hampshire, two men with whom I have been Intimately associated with In the many fights that we have made here for the Ap palachian bill. It so happens also that several of my close personal friends on the Republican side were -at- the same tiros, member#. of the ways snd means eominittee, and to these I went. Of course, you know that this mat ter of a tax on fertilisers was called to my attention by a telegram from Supreme Court Decides Caee in Their Favor. The Charleston Post say the United States Supreme Court has just ren dered two decisions, which are of much 'inl-resf <to [truck growlers 'hrough the State, involving more 'nupiderate treatment o nthe part railroads in fostering the promo- Mon of the industry. In both cas- '-s J N. Voorhees, a truck farmer in q t. Andrew’s parish, was the plaln- Mff. and the Atlantic Coast Line and other roads the defendants. A d a - Msion favorable to truck interests was rendered in both suits. * In one ease the plaintiff shipped six carloads of cabbages from St. \ndrews to New York, for the trans- oortation of which the defendants 'barged less than the carload rate, 'pcause the initial carrier performed h p loading service. The decision of the court is that these shipments having been offered in carload quan tities were entitled to the published carload rate, and in the absence of tariff provision, no additional charge could be lawfully collected mm the complainant to cover load- n» service performed by the rail- mad companv. In the other case, on a question of “reasonable” rates, the court de cided that the charge of sixty-three rents per half-barrel crate was “un reasonable' s*«d a rate of forty-etgh* rents a fairer one than the thirty two rent rate which had heen urged bv the complainant before the rail road commUsalon. Th|e orders of ♦he court iH*both cases provide for refund of excess charges. The amount tnvloved Is not large, but the principle tp of much moment to the truck farmers and the dac.izisn is being received with much pleasure and satisfaction.
