Senator Says Former District Attortorney
in Error.
Washington, Aug. 12.?Replying to
a recent criticism by J. William
Thurmond, of Edgefield, Senator N.
B. Dial issued the following statement:
1; . "I have just read a tirade of J.
William Thurmond against me. In
many of Mr. Thurmond's statements
he is absolutely in error. I do not
suppose the public is very mucn interested
in this subject, but I will
reiterate its history briefly, as he has
mentioned it.
"In 1912 and 1918 several of us
were candidates for the senate. Mr.
Thurmond was manager of Senator
Tillman's campaign both times and
organized the state against me. When
the western district of South Carolina
was established, he was appointed
district attorney by Senator
Tillman, which was perfectly natural.
After Sen. Tillman's death in 1918
I was told that Mr. Thurmond was
speaking good words in my behalf.
"I am sorry Mr. Thurmond speaks
of my dining with him, for it forces
ttip tn mention ?the subject. While at
the campaign meeting in AlKen, Mr.
Thurmond phoned me to come to
. Edgefield and spend the night with
him. For this I thanked him, but
politely declined. After speaking at
Edgefield, Mr. Thurmond invited Senator
Pollock and me to dine with him,
which we accepted. The public can
R\*understand
my position in this mat%;
ter"During
Christmas, 1919, Mr.
Thurmond asked me to have him reappointed.
I told him that I had not
discussed the matter at all in
Washington, but would let him hear
very soon. After consultation and
investigating the matter here, I informed
him that under all the cir
* .
cumstances I could not recommend
his reappointment, and that I had
, recommended another, whereafter he
and his friends bombarded me with
petitions, the purpose being evident.
"Mr. Thurmond is also in error
about what transpired in Washington.
I suggested the name of mj
friend, T. P: Cothran, for appointed
ment as district attorney, he being
one of the strongest lawyers in the
* , south, a lifelong friend of mine and
a strong supporter in all my cam'
paigns. The attorney general informed
me he would consider the
matter and we would discuss it further.
I left word at the White House
^ . th&t I wanted to see the president a1
the proper time. A few days later
: \ Mr. Thurmond's nomination ca'me tc
the senate. I communicated with the
White House and they were very
much surprised and asked me to hold
Mr. Thurmond's confirmation up in
?;r
v * the senate, and also suggested that I
see the attornev general. I declined
the latter suggestion. Later the attorney
general phoned to me to come
up, as he desired to confer with me,
?', and said that he was ready to appoint
Mr. Cothran.
"Mr. Thurmond is also in error
about my not being able to defeat
his confirmation in the senate if I had
desired. Any senator can defeat the
confirmation of anyone in his state in
t \ a few seconds.
"Mr. Thurmond is also in error in
l . saying Mr. Cothran was a candidate
for United States judge at the time
referred to?1920?for there was no
vacancy in that position, Judge Watkins
having been confirmed on July
22, 1919.
After a visit to Washington, and
when everything had been arranged
for Mr. Cothran to be appointed, he
notified me on July 29, 1920, that he
didn't care to accept the place, expressing
great gratitude at my efforts
in his behalf, but stated that he felt
it was his duty to the people of South
Carolina to run for the general assembly
from Greenville county. It
was agreeable to me then for the
attorney general to send down the
name of Mr. Thurmond, for reappointment.
His name was sent down
a day or two after congress convened
?on December 6. I asked the judiciary
committee to confirm him, but
his name was held up, along with
many others.
"My policy has been since the Republicans
have t*ken charge to ask
no favors of the administration. The
wisdom of this can readily be understood.
Anyway, it was said here that
the attorney general was disposed to
let all Mr. Wilson's appoinees fill out
their terms, in the absence of charges,
etc., against them, unless he decided
to revoke some particular appointment.
"I have never mentioned the fol?
lowing fact. I took the matter up
with the attorney general ana stated
to hiin if his policy was to let all
Democratic appointees serve out their
terms, that I would suggest that he
allow Mr. Thurmond this privilege.
This he considered a day or two, but
finally declined.' Mr. Cochran was
confirmed, as I knew him to be a
gentleman of high character and ability.
The correspondence on the sub
HENRY FORD DENIES CHARGE.
Writes to Mini at Pickens, Resenting
(?) Charge That a Ford Kicked.
Mr. Claude Hester, Pickens, S. C.
Dear Sir: I have your recent letter
telling about one of my automobiles
kicking you. It seems strange
10 me, .ur. inescer, mac you snouia
complain of a Ford with a kick in it
when everybody else seems to be complaining
that they cannot find any-'
thing with a kick in it. Neither do I
see how you could complain of a little
thing like your arm being broke
when the whole blame country is in
the same fix.
However, Mr. Hester, I am very
glad you wrote to me. I am sure
we are good friends and I am going
to take you into my confidence. The
Ford you got is undoubtedly not one
of the regular kind, but, judging by
its action, is one that was made for
sale to Jews onlv. and its name is
Maud.
Now, Mr. Hester, don't think for
a minute that I doubt a word in
your letter, but what happened to
you recalls to mind a recent incident
which I will relate to you. A
man we will call John for short,
wrote to me and wanted me to pay
him $300 damages because he said,
one of my automobiles kicked him,
broke his arm, knocked him over
and skinned his head. I investigated
the matter and found the facts quite
different. What really happened was
that this man was leaving his house
one morning when his wife came to
the door and said, "John, there is no
stove wood cut," and John replied,
"Well I am not taking the axe with
me," and they dressed his wounds at
the city hospital. Now, of course,
this has no connection with your accident,
but I just thought of it and I
can tell from your1 letter that you
like a good joke.
You mentioned milk cows and I
well tell you some more confidential
information. You no doubt have read
in the papers that I am working on a
L tin milk cow. Well, I have perfected
it and will be able to sell them completely
equipped with switchless tails
and Klaxon horns for less than a good
' bull costs.
So you know Randolph Rose, toe. |
; Yes, I remember he used to wind \ip
i all his advertisements by saying, "i
I thank you." But what he should
have said was, "I tank you."
I would write you a long letter,
? but as you probably know I am a
very busy man. However, there is
s iust one more thine. You state that
: after the automobile kicked you it
also spit in your face and called you
> nigger. Are you sure, Mr. Hester, it
? wasn't a phonograph you were trying
- to crank? Respectfully,
H. FORD.

Chandler will plug each melon and

ject is too long to print, but these
letters are dated respectively, July
18 and 20.
"It seems that Mr. Thurmond is
very much outraged because I preferred
to appoint one of the ablest
lawyers in the southern states in
preference to one who had organized
the state twice against me. So far
as his statement is concerned that
my objection to him was because he
voted for Senator Tillman, this is simply
silly. As a matter of fact, the
first appointment I made after I was
'elected was a young man who told
me that he had been a follower of
Senator Tilfman. Since I have been
in the senate, I have never asked
or inquired how anyone voted, but, of
course, I have always endeavored to
aid my personal friends and supporters
first."
SWEET POTATO MONEY GETTER.
Address at Conference on Work of
the Development Board.
Of particular interest at the conference
yesterday in relation to the
South Carolina Development Board
were the remarks of H. E. Horton,
the board's manager, on the sweet
potato. State Senator Xeils Christensen,
of Beaufort, chairman, took
part in the conference. The two officers
told business men cf the ooard's
activities and the success it is achieving.
Mr. Horton said that at present
there are 107 "curing" houses for
sweet potatoes in South Carolina and
as many more projected. He pointed
out that this sweet potato industry
had reached interesting proportions
in the state, and that it is remunerative
to those who are following it.
"Cotton must always be one of the
big crops of the state and we may
not give up its production, but the
hour has struck when another cash
crop must move, to the fore, namely,
the sweet potato," Mr Horton said.
"Everybody, north and south, likes
the sweet potato. Some of our people
who have not been away from home,
or having been in the north, have not
studied the subject carefully, say the
nothern man does not like the moist
sugary Porto Rico variety and de
mands the dry, poorly flavored potato
grown in New Jersey, Delaware and
Virginia. Opposed to this men who
have made this subject their special
study report the northern man does
like the moist sugary sort we like
so well.
"It may be asked, why haven't we
built up a demand in the northern
market for-our produce? The reason
why we haven't has nothing to do
with excellence of the potatoes, but is
due to the fact the southern grower
has never put up a standard pack and
handled the selling end in the businesslike
way demanded by the trade.
The New Jersey grower, with an inferior
article, puts up a standard pack
and handles his sales like a real business
man.
"What are we doing about it? The
South Carolina Sweet Potato Association,
backed and coached by the
South Carolina Development Board, is
perfecting plans at this time to grade,
pack and market cooperatively the
pack of its eighteen member houses.
The sweet potato crop will be handled
in a way very similar to the way
cotton will be handled by the South
Carolina Cotton Grower's Cooperative
Association?locals made up of growers
located in all parts of the state pro-!
ducing sweet potatoes, districts madej
up of locals, and finally the head sell- ]
ing organization. The Development!
Board is making the necessary studies
preparatory to launching this project.
"The market demands grade stock,
the 'so-called 'Number Ones' and
'Number Twos.' Choice Number Ones,
suitable for baking (weighing 8 to 10
ounces) retail at 10 to 14 cents a
pound. Number Twos for 4 to 6 cents
a pound.
"To put up the choice pack it is
necessary to find ,some use for the
I'jumbos,' 'strings' and 'cuts,' which
must be culled out. These culls may
be used to make a line of high grade
by-products: Cattle feed, table syrup,
vinegar, starch, flour.
"The 'curing' process makes it possible
to 'keep' potatoes from the time
just prior to the first frost until the
middle of the following May, and
'curing' houses located in the Piedmont
district should have no difficulty
'keeping' the potatoes well into

toes the middle of July there is only
a short interim when potatoes may
not be offered on the market.
"The sweet potato grows to greatest
perfection on the light sandy
loams of the coastal plain district,
and with little care produces over a
hundred bushels per acre of field run,
and with care may be made to produce
350 to 400 bushels per acre.

mere are iui curing uuuses m
the state and as many more projected.
If the 'houses' join the South Carolina
Sweet Potato Association, and
adhere strictly to its rules, the growing
of sweet potatoes may be made a
very remunerative business.
"Ninety per cent of the potatoes
grown in the state is the Porto Rico
variety, not that it is the best tasting
as we all know, but because it is a
big yielding variety, fairly free from
disease, keeps well and stands ship0171?

If Something Must Shake.
A notorious gossip one day went
to Dean W. D. Wilson, burning with
indignation: "Oh. doctor, have you
heard the disgraceful news? The
young people of your church are going
to have a dance, they say. How
shocking! What do you think about
it?"
To which the saintly scholar responded
sweetly. "Madame. I had
rather have them shake their legs
than their tongues!"?The Christian
