HE HAS NOT LOST HOPE
In Letter to the Governor of Iowa
m to tlie Penological Conditions in
'fThis
State, Please Gives His Views
On Statement of Penitentiary Directors.
Governor Blease on Monday gave
his first Impression upon the Penii.

made public their latter informing
the Governor they purposed standing
by the hosiery mill contract. The
views of the governor were expressed
In a letter to Governor Carroll, of
Iowa, replying to inquiries concerning
penalogical conditions in
South Carolina.
Prison labor is employed in part,
tho letter says, on farms and roads,
but "In part, I regret very much to |
say, in a hosiery mill, located within I
the walls of the penitentiary, which
(mill) is a common nuisance and a
death trap caused by tuberculosis.
I am now doing my best to get rid
of the hosiery mill, but it seems there
is too much money behind it, and I
am having a hard fight.
However, I have not lost hope and
have appealed to the solicitor of this
circuit and asked him to bring suit to
abate the nuisance. Why the board
of directors are figthig me, I am
unable to say, unless it is personal
political prejudice."
The Governor says that if this is
not the reason he would not care to
state what he "and a good many of
the people" believe to be the reason;
? but "anyway their action is certainly
peculiar."
The letter follows:
His Excellency, B. F. Carroll, Governor
of the State of Iowa, Des
Moines?Dear sir: Your letter of
July 14 received, in which you ask:
"How many penitentiaries and reformatories
have you in your State?"
In reply, I beg to say that we have
one Penitentiary and connected
therewith a reformatory for colored
youths. We also have an industrial
school, or reformatory, for white
boys.
The Penitentiary is self-supporting
and last year turned something like
$8H,000 over to the State in profits.
The reformatory for white boys is
!n its infancy, and has not yet had a
fair chance to show what it can aceomnlish.
In reply to your question, "IIow is
your prison labor employed?" On the
farms, on the roads, sometimes In
shops, and, I regret very much to say,
In a hosiery mill, located within the
walls of the penitentiary, which is a
common nuisance and a death trap
caused by tuberculosis, this having
been reported by the State board of
health and condemned, by my having
called attention to it at the last meeting
of our General Assembly, and I
am now doing my best to get rid of
the hosiery mill, but it seems there
is too much money behind it and I am
having a hard fight. However, I
have not lost hope and have appealed
to the solicitor of this circuit and
asked him to bring suit to abate the
nuisance. Why the board of directors
are fighting me on this matter I
am unable to say, unless it is personal
political prejudice. I would not
care to state, if this is not the reason,
what I and a yood many of the
people believe is the reason, but, anyway,
their action is certainly peculiar,
knowing, as they do, that it is a
death trap and a menace to our people.
In reply to your last question,
"What is your prison population?" I
cannot give you exact figures, but I
suppose to be about ten or twelve
hundred. It would have been much
heavier, possibly, but in the last six
nonths I have reduced it considerably
by exercising executive clemency, and
will reduce it some more now soon
olnnnr Din cnmn linn
Any other information which I can
give you I will be pleased to do so.
Very respectfully,
Cole L. Tllease,
L. Governor.

YELPS our AGAIN
HEYBUKN MARKS A FOOL OF
HIMSELF ONCE MOKE.
I>espito the Chronic Kicker's Antic*
the Senate Takes up Hill for a Confederate
Monument.
The bitterness between Senator
Hoyburn, of Idaho, and Senator Williams,
of Mississippi, on the subject
of the Confederacy, broke out anew
in the senate recently. Senator Heyburn
objected to the taking up of a
bill appnopratiny $100,000 for a Confederate
naval monument in the
Vicksburg military park, but Senator
Williams \v-on its consideration by a
vote of 29 to 19.
Tfte vicKsuurg parK commission
and the senate committee on militar>
affairs approved the measure. Mr.
Williams said it was desired to have
the monument complete or the semicentennial
"blue and gray" reunion ,
t Vicksburg in 1913. Senators Cummins
of Iowa and Works-of California
urged its passage as proper recognitions
of men who exhibited bravery
in a cause they believed right.
Senator Ileyburn again attacked
the principle of federal recognition
of Confederate acts. He declared it
was "intolerable" that the deeds of
Confederate armies should bo recited
in laws that call on the public
treasury or contributions. He characterized
the history of the War Between
the Sections as "history of
murder." He attacked the newspapers
of the country, declaring many
of them disloyal "and delighted to
express their disloyalty."
He had been characterized as waiv
ing the bloody tlag in the senate, he
said, and had been so misrepresented
that he was receiving scores of anonymous
letters from "cowards" threatening
him with physical violence because
of his opposition to useing government
funds to recognize Confederate
service.
He displayed a letter he had receivfrom
Idttle Rock, Ark., the envelope
of which bore a Confederate flag.
He said the post-office department
said there was 110 law to prevent the
use of tlie flag 011 mail matters.
"No law ought to be needed," said
Heyburn, "there is but one flag in
this nation entitled to such representation.
Senator Williams abruptly left the
hamber when Heyburn began to bray
and so Senator Taylor, of Tennessee,
took up the issue, and scored Heyburn.
"The war is over," he said,
"time has pulled down the forts and
healed the wounds. The men who
wore the gray delight to honor the
men who wore the blue, but they do
not to delight to honor the men who
never smelt powder, and who stand
here and unlimber their batteries of
bitterness against the simple proposal
to erect monuments to Southern heroes."
The senate immediately adjourned
by a vote of 2 6 to 25 and the question
was eft unsettled.

Two Nogpor#; Have a Fight and One
Was Fatally Hit.
The Columbia Record says John
Young died at noon Sunday in that
city from paralysis as the result of a
lick In the head dealt by Tom Wise,
another negro. The quarrel between
the negroes, who lived at Hyatt's
park, arose over an alleged insult to
the daughter of Young. The daughter
told her father of her treatment at
Wise's hands, it is said, and Young
took up the matter vigorously. A
ierce puarrel ensued, which ended by
Wise grabbing a brick, which h broke
in two and used one half to disjoin
Young's head from his spinal column
at the back of his neck. Wise is held
in the county jail, having been apprehended
Friday night. Young was
carried immediately after the occurrence
to the hospital. When he arrived
his body from his shoulder
down was paralysed.

rhe Governor Thinks That the Boys
Are Better Off Without the Training
They Should Get if Such a
Law Was Passed and Put in

Governor Blease does not by any
means >agree with Adjutant General
Moore, in the latter's opinion thiat it
would be a good thing for this State
to adopt the California plan of organizing
high school students into military
companies of 4 0 men each and
drilling them with Krag-Jorgenson rifles.
Adjutant Gent Hal Moore told reporters
the other day that he "heartily
approved" the suggestion of Mr.
Robert Shaw Oliver, acting assistant
secretary of wlar, that other states
adopt the Oalifornia system.
In transmitting Mr. Oliver's letter,
Adjutant General Mjoore wrote to
Governor Blease impart as follows:
"I heartily concur in the suggestions
offered and also approve of most of
the sections incorporated in this
(Oalifornia) act, but I feel satisfied
that in order to have a similar act
passed by the legislature of this State
it will be necessary for the war department
to provide at least the arms
and equipment necessary without cost
to this State, together with the assignment
of an officer from the regular
army or from the retired list
for instruction and supervision of

provisions of this iact.
Governor Blease addressed t>o Mr.
Oliver Thursday a letter in which he
presents in plain terms his views,
which differ radically from those of
Adjutant General Moore.
The governor's letter follows:
Hon. Robert Shaw Oliver,
Acting Secretary of War and President
of Board for Promotion of
Rifle Practice, Washington, D. C.
Sir:?Your letter of July 13th,
transmitted to me July 19th, by Adj.
Gen. W. W. Moore, received. In
reply I beg leave to say that I cannot
concur with the adjutant general
of my State in approving your bill.
In the first place I do not believe
this Country is in danger of any serious
war, now or hereafter, as I think
arbitration is more humane than
war and that by peace conference differences
between countries will be
settled without bloodshed.
I do not believe in educating every
boy that he has to shoot somebody.
They have enough of that in
them already. Futhermore, our State
has not the money to make the appriation
necessary to carry out this
bill.
However, my most serious objection
to your bill is that I am unalterably
oppostd to arming negro
school children with rifles and amunitlon.
Our state has trouble enough
with federal bayonets in the hands
of negroes and their allies. It was
only a few years ago that our adju
tant general disbanded all the negro
companies of the State militia, for
which he bad my most hearty approval.
The white schools of our Sbate,
under the provisions of your bill, requiring
forty or more students, fourteen
years of age or over, would he
at a disadvantage, because in the
white schools there are sometimes
not as many as forty students, and
they generally cease to go about the
age of ninetee n,while in the negro
schools there are nearly always forty
and they Uange in age from five to
thirty. Consequently, in my opinion,
the bill you propose would be disadvantageous
to the people of my
State. Therefore I cannot recommend
the passage of such a bill,
and if passed would be compelled
to veto it.
Very respectfully,
Cole L. Rloase, Governor.

YOUNG MAN AND GI11L DIU>WN
AT MYltTLE BEACH.
In Effort to Save Miss Annie Sessions
, I Robert Nichols, Eighteen
Years 01dr Loses Life In Surf.
A dispatch from Conway to The
News and Courier says a gloom was
cast over Myrtle Beach and Conway
Thursday morning .by the drowning
of Richard Nichols, the 18-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nichols,
and Miss Annie Sessions, the 12year-old
daughter of Mrs. G. Robert
Sessions, both of Conway. Two sisters
of Mr. Nichols, both younger
than himself, were resc.ued from the
surf by him, and in his effort to save
little .Miss Sessions both were drownod.
The drowned bodies were found
within a short distance of the scene.
The sad tragedy occurred about
nine o'clock Thursday morning,
quite ia crowd of young people were
in bathing, not more than waist deep
when a swell came in and knocked
over the three little Nichols children
and Miss Sessions. Being junable
to swim and unaccustomed to
surf bathing, it is thought that the
wuve passed over them and thov
lost oontrol of themselves and ,oecame
strangled. Young Mr. Nichols,
seeing the condition of the girls,
rushed to the hill with his little sister,
and went back to the scene In a
heroic effort to save their companions,
but being himself exhausted
and tightly grasped by the young
lady, together they went down.
One of the young ladies rescued
suffered only from slight strangling,
while it required a great deal of effort
to revive the other. Young Mr.
Nichols was cold when found ana
several hours work on young Miss
Sessions failed *o bring her to life.
News of the sad occurrence reached
Conway only a short time after
the arrival of the morning train from
Myrtle Beach. A physician was rushed
to the scene by auto and a short
while following, a special train was
run to the beach, which carried other
physicians and a large number of
townspeople. The two bodies were
carried to Conway on the noon train.
MANY KILLED IN WRECK.
Train in Germany Jumps the Track
Near Mullhcim.
A through express from Basel,
Switerland to Berlin, crowded with
a heavy tourist traffic, was wrecked
at Mullheif Monday. The latest estimate
is that 14 persons were killed,
while scores of others were injured,
manu of them seriously. The accident
occurred as the train, coming
from the south was entering the sea
tion. The locomotive was derailed
and was followed from the tracks by
four cars, a first class, a second class,
and two third class coaches.
These cars telescoped each other.
At the same time the remaining cars
thrown to the opposite side of the
track and piled up against a train
standing on the southbound rails.
Not a passanger in the first three can]
of the train escaped injury.^

Washington on July 21 to speak at
the joint reunion of the blue and gray
armies on the battlefield of Bull Run,
he will travel over the same old turnnike

diers used 50 yffars ago. The President
will motor down from the capital
with Secretary Hllles and Maj. A.

over the road used by Gen. McDowell's
soldiers when the tide of battle
turned against them and they fled
