Columbia Correspondent Asked to Resign From Governor's Staff, But He Refuses to Do So. Leon M. Green, Columbia correspondent for the News and Courier, ha" refused to accede to the demands of his newspaper that he resign an appointment recently received upon the staff Governor Blease and says he will resign as correspondent immediately. His resignation will l>e handed to the head of the News and Courier's Columbia bureau, August Kohn, upon the latter's return this week from a Canadian tour. . . "I resign under pressure," said Mr. Green. "I can not comply with the demand made on me. When I was appointed on the Governor's staff I accepted because of the honor, and I know that the position was given in the right spirit. For the paper I represented to seek to tell me that I should resign either from the paper or from the governor's staff was, in icy opinion, an encroachment upon my personal rights. "I felt that I could still remain on the governor's staff, as I have always sought to give unbiased reports of ollicial acts of the chief executive of the State. "The position taken by the paper appears to me, and I have no doubtt will so appear to many others in the State, untenable, for the particular reason that the position occupied here for the paper was that solely of a news correspondent. T had nothing whatever to do with the editorial policy of he paper. What I have been sending to the papers I represent was I he news of the day here?nothing more." Mr. Green Monday night gave out the lettetr below which he stated had lyen written him by Robert Lathan, the editor of the News and Courier. Mr. Lathan said last night that he had nothing to say concerning the matter. Mr. Lathan's letter to Mr. Green is as follows: "Mr. Leon M. Green, Columbia, S. C. "Dear 'Mr. Green: I have just received your letter of July 20 and regret very much to learn of your determination to remain on the staff of the governor rather than on that of The News and Courier. "As I wrote Mr. Kohn, I do not regard it as proper for a newspaper correspondent to hold two such positions at tho same time; my understanding of tho matter being that the acceptance of an appointment as one of a governor's aides entails upon the person accepting it a responsibility of doing all that he can to uphold whatever the governor may do. "I think it should be a rule of the paper that no one of its staff should occupy any position which might expose him to the criticism that his impartiality might be affected, whether such criticism be well founded or not. "It is the desire of the News and Courier to do every public oflicial justice fairly and impartially, and in order to do so I think the above mentioned rule a good one. "It is true that Mr. Kohn was at one time an aide to a governor but that was l>efore I became editor of the paper. "I appreciate your offer to look after matters connected with tho bureau until Mr. Kohn returns, but perhaps it would be better to continue the present arrangement until that time, allowing Mr. Horton to cover whatever may happen, as he has been doing since you have been away from Columbia. "Let me repeat to you personally what I have already said to Mr. Kohn as head of the bureau, that the News and Courier appreciates the general nvnnllnnnn nf (Iia unrvlfo vnii linl'P UAbV t IV11 V>\y V/L til V MVft i j w v? ??.?* vr givn it during the period of your connection with the paper, and that T am genuinely sorry that you have ' chosen to take a stand in this matter, a most important one as I see it, to which this paper can not give its in' dorsement. "Yours truly, "Robert Lathan."

COMES SOUTH Will Establish a Model Farm ia the Charleston District Soco SOIL SECOND TO NONE General Manager of the National Corn Exposition Will Purchase | Several Thousand Acres Near Char- ] leston and Will Induce White Set- ( tiers to Clear and Cultivate Land. 1 The News and Courier says It Is j authoritatively announed that Prof. George Stevenson, general mana- r ger of the National Corn Exposition, will locate in the Charleston district in the near future for the purpose of operating a model farm colony. , Prof. Stevenson, who is reputed to !)e one of the largest corn growers | in the Western Hemisphere, was in Charleston and surrounding territory last March, at a time when the ques- i tion of choosing the next place for the 1013 Corn Exposition first came up. He was immediately impressed with the vast opportunities presented in this district to the agriculturist, and did not hesitate to say at the time that the soil here was second to none in the United States. Prof. Stevenson is known to possess extensive farm lands in the Wostern States and had grown rich through the raising of corn. He is, however, so enthusiastic with the prospects in South Carolina, and particularly in the Charleston district, that he will shortly make his home here. It is now understood that he is now negotiating for the purchase of about 3,000 acres between Charleston and Summerville, 011 which he expects to build up and. maintain a model farm colony. On the occasion of his visit some time ago to Charleston Prof. Stevenson stated that I10 had his own pet ideas as to the operation of a large farm. He is a firm believer in intensive farming and thinks that the climate and soil of South Carolina are peculiarly adapted for this. After purchasing his land he will induce from twenty to thirty thrifty white settlers to take portions of the tract and imediately begin extensive drainage operation. The settlers will all be men of means and experience and will therefore be able to get down to work in a comprehensive and systematic mani ner without losing too much time, i The latest machinery will be used i on the model farm, as well as the latest ideas in the agricultural world. High grade stock of every description will be purchased and raised. As , Prof. Stevenson expects to raise corn along ertensive lines, he will have the corn, both in quality and quantity, to feed his cattle. Prof. Stevenson is expected to visit Charleston i nfche near future for the purpose of perfecting his plans with regard to the model farm colony. The ofllcers of the National Corn Exposition are: Prof. George H. Stevenson, secretary, treasurer and general manager; E. D. Funk, of Shirly, 111., president; E. G. Montgomery, of IJnoln, Neb., first vice president. The hoard of directors all live in the Middle West. The fact that the big corn show is coming to South Carolina is recognized as a big thing for the entire State, and as a big thing for Charleston and the whole coast country as for any other part of the State. The railroads will make special rates for he show?the lowest rates into South Carolina that they have ever made; and it is expected that all these tickets will be good for a journey to any part of the State. Thus the men who go to Columbia to see the Corn Exposition may come right down to Charleston without any extra expense to themselves. THEY WON'T GET RICH. * , Tlic Scale of Wages Paid the WorkI men In the Orient. Clarence Poe, in the July World's Work, gives some interesting figures > concerning the pay of laborers in j various oriental countries. In China a member of the emperor's grand - council told me that the average rate 1 of wages throughout the empire is , probably 18 cents a day. In Japan it 1 is probably not more, and in India it t is much less. The beet mill workers in Osaka : average 2 2 cents aday; the laborers ; at work on the new telephone line in ; Peking get 10 cents; wheelbarrow , coolies in Shanghai, $4 a month; linotype operators in Tokio, only 45 >f cents a day; presmen, 50 cents; poi, liceman, 40 cents; the iron workers e in Hankow average about 10 cents a day; street car conductors in Seoul t. make 35 cents; farm laborers about i, Nankou about 10 cents. >f The highest oriental wages are l- paid 1n the Philippines, where the orl dlnary laborer gets from 20 cents to o 50 cents a day. j. ; ? ? ? i- President Taft is futher embar;s rassed by the investigations regardit lng the plot to retire Dr. Harvey W iy Wiley, pure food expert, and the neg>e llgence of Attorney General Wickerb snam in the prosecution of Alaskc land frauds. * \ , ^ * \ GIVE THEIR VIEWS RESOLUTIONS AIK>PTEI> BY THE FARMERS UNION. Express Themselves oil Several Subjects at Their State Convention Recently Held. At their recent meeting In Columbia the Farmers State Union adoptBd resolution on several subjects., rhe first was in reference to Dr. Wiley as follows: "We, the Farmers' Union of South Carolina, do neartiiy enaorse me action of Dr. Harvey E. Wiley In his work of enforcing the pure food law, and we hereby request the president to continue 'him in office, and that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the President." The following resolutions which was adopted provides for a legislative committee: "Resolved, That the president appoint a legislative committee of three persons to loof after all legislation in which the union is Interested for the next twelve months." The following in reference to a tuberculosis camp was adopted: "Resolved, That this body do heartily indorse the movement now on foot to establish in our State a camp for tuberculosis, and that wo agree individually and as county unions to try to influence our respective legislative delegations to aid this cause by an appropriation." The following resolution on the text book adoption was passed: "Resolved, That we do hereby earnestly protest against the wholesale change in the public school books by the state board of education at its recent meeting, as such change was, in our judgment, unnecessary and Imposes a burden upon that class of our citizens least able to bear such burden." The next was one endorsing Senator Smith calling down ther fake cotton estimate as follows: "We, the members of the Farmers' Union, in convention assembled, do hereby endorse the action of Senator E. D. Smith in calling the attention of Secretary Wilson to the evil effects of the premature report on the probable yield of cotton for the present season and demanding that no such reports be sent out without the indorsement of the department of agriculture." The National Corn Exposition was Indorsed: , "Resolved, That the State Farmers' Union of South Carolina notes with great satisfaction the conditional announcement that the autkorities of the National Corn exposition will hold the next national corn show in the capital city of our State. "Resolved, That the State union urge upon all county and local unions the most vigorous cooperation in the efforts to comply with the necessary conditions for the reason that the holding of such an exposition in South Carolina will be of incalculable value to the agricultural interests of this State." mho fnllnwinir indorsing the Torens system was adopted: "Whereas, the farmers and landowners are entitled to get credit as easily as city property-holders and owners of manufactoring properties; and Wheras, this is not true now but would be helpful all the time, and is especially important now that the farmers are trying to arrange to finance the coming cotton crop; therefore, be it "Resolved, That we do heartily Inindorsed the Torrens system registering land titles by means of which farmers who wish may get their land titles registered and guaranteed, so as to make the property easily negotiable and avoid the necessity ol paying heavy lawyer's fees each and every time a title is passed upon.
