in Which She Says Governor
Was Disrespectful.
Statements made Friday by Gov.
Blease, Mr. Archie Willis, editor of
^ The Iielton Times and Miss Mary J.
Rogers, ticket seller at Belton, concerning
the recent story published
Belton and in practically all newspapers
In the State, in which it was
stated that the governor had been
disrespecful to the young lady who
sells tickets at the Southern railway
depot in Belton, are conflicting and
they give an interesting phase of the
situation.
^ Governor Blease, in Greenville Friday
presented a representative of
The Daily Piedmont with copies of
a signed letter, and showed the representative
the original copy of the
W letter, from Miss Mary J. Rogers,
ticket seller at Belton, to Mr. H. A.
Williams, superintendent of the Columbia
division of the Southern, in
which Miss Rogers is emplowed, in
which she reported to the superintendent
that the governor had not been
disrespectful to her. The letter is as
follows:
Belton, S. C., Eept. 15, 1911.
Mr. H. A. Williams, Superintendent,
Columbia, S. C.,
Dear Sir: In connection with the
newspaper accounts of the incident
between Governor Blease and myself
on or about July 29th 1911, in which
it was stated that I had been insulted
by the Governor, I wish to say that
Governor's Mease's manner was not
In the least insulting in my opinion
i. rid I did not then, nor do I now feel
0 that I had been insulted by the con^
vernation between ourselves, and the
wrong impression has been created
concerning the incident which was a
very ordinary occurrence of which I
thought nothing at all and would
have entirely passed from my mind
3n a few minutes but for the newspaper
reports on it.
I am anxious that this wrong impressing
bo corrected and would
* thank you to assist me in any inantlinf

Yours truly,
(Signed) Mary J. Rogers,
Ticket Seller.
When the representative of The
Daily Piedmont returned to the editorial
oflico he found Editor Archie
Willis there. He told Mr. Willis of
v the letters in the governor's posses"
eion. Mr. Willis, saying ho would
see Miss Rogers, left immediately in
an automobile for Helton. He said
before leaving, and later repeated the
statement over the telephone from
Helton that he had an affidavit from
Miss Rogers to the effect that the
governor had been very disrespectful
to her. He said that on the day the
^ occurrence took place that he had
passed the young lady on a street of
Helton and that she had stopped him
and volunteered an account of the occurrence
with the governor. Mr. Willi?
said today that Miss Rogers at the
time of the occurrence had said she
"would like to< have the occurrence
narrated in the Helton Times, and she
.1 i _ tr ttriin- i. _ _ i J
expressed 10 Mr, vvims ner reelings
over the governor's words. She said
to Mr. Willis that the chief executive
had been very disrespectful to her.
However, her letter to Superintendent
Williams boars a different tale.
The Daily Piedmont called Miss
Rogers over the telephone and asked
her if she had written the letter to
Mr, Williams, in which she exoneratA
ed the governor. She said that she
had written the letter but that she
did not care to make any further
et,.lenient. Mr. Willis later in the
day called up The Pally Piedmont
and said that he wished to make it
A known that he had gotten the facts of
the conversation between the governor
and Miss Rogers from Miss Rogers
herself, and that this morning after
vofnrnlnir frr?m nrnpnvilln lio hurl
asked her about the occurrence and
that she had told him that her original
affidavit, to the effect that the
governor had been disrespectful, was
correct.
She said to Mr. Willis that the
railroad official in Columbia had asked
her for a written statement as to
the governor's actions and as to his
treatment and that she had written
him the letter above mentioned and
quoted. Miss Rogers' letter to her
superintendent and her affidavit to
Mr. Willis are contradictory. Gov*
?rnor Blease also today furnished The
Daily Piedmont with an affidavit
from Mr. W. F. Harper, ticket agent
at Helton, which is as follows:
Personally appeared before me W.
F. Parker, who, after being duly
sworn says that he is agent of the
Southern Railway Company, at Belton,
S. C., and that he was in his office
at Belton, S. C., on Saturday,

HOOK WORM FIGHT
OBJECTS TO THE METHODS OF
THE BOAHD OF^ HEALTH.
J)i*. Patterson of Barnwell Charges
It is Unfair and Unprofessional to
Local Physicians.
To the Editor of The State:
Allow me space In your paper to
enter a protest against the method
adopted by the State board of health
In dispensing the Rockfeller fund
donated to the State for the eradication
of hook worm. Dr Wn-d was
here on Monday and Tuesday. He
delivered lectures at the graded
school to the children and teachers
and to the public in the opera house
on sanitary su ejects, toucnmg upon
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, malaria
and hook worm. Dr. Ward stated
In his lecture at the opera house that
he was here to see the board of
county commissioners in regard to
appropriating a fund for the purchasing
of the remedies used in treating
hook worm. If the board appropriated
the fund necessary to carry on
the treatment he or the board of
health would send a doctor here to
take charge of the patients and treat
them. This statement is misleading.
It conveys the impression thnt the
general practitioners are not comment
to treat this class of cases,
that it requires doctors who are
trained specially for the work. As
a fact the treatment is very simple
and can be carried out by any physician.
This is anything but complimentary
to the general practitioner.
I object to the State board sending a
physician into my town to treat hook
worm in a people whom I am practicing
for daily. It is unprofessional,
bcause it. is unbrotherly and unkind.
As I understand, Mr. Rockfeller gave
the money to eradicate hook worm
by treating infected citizens. Now,
the fund is being used to employ
.1 i ? ~
uucuurs clI TUI J UUOIitl n .11 ill ID
travel from place to place and dispense
hook worm cure purchased bj
the people. And in counties where
county commissioners and the plillandthropic
citizens decline to comply
with tho request of Rockfeller's
agents the hook worm subjects are
deprived of any part of the Rockfeller
fund. I suggest the agents of
the Rockfeller's fund use the money
in having lectures delivered to the
public on the subject of hook worm,
and in purchasing the medicine to be
distributed to the doctors throughout
the State that the ymght treat such
cases as come under their observation
or cure, just as antitoxine for
diptheria and typhoid fever is sent
out at request of physicians. As
the matter now stand the funds will
be absorbed by initerant doctors on
large salaries and traveling expenses.

any one could take offense. Governor

Pickens when the 'Bel-ton affair took
place and that he thought it fitting
that he should first make public these
statement on his first return trip to
Pickens. In a speech at the Pickens
fair the governor read these statements.
Mr. Willis, over the telephone said
that he would send to The Daily Piedmont,
if so desired, the original affidavit
of the lady ticket seller, Miss
Rogers, and would also send an affidavit
of his own asserting that he
had received his information concerning
the Please-Rogers controvsary

FLOODS SWEEP TOWN
'
HOMES AND STOKES DESTROYED
UY RIVER'S OVERFLOW.
Although Warned Re forehand Inhabitants
Delay Flight for Safety Until
Peril Becomes Iniiniuent.
The situation at Black River Falls,
says a dispatch from LaCrosse, Wis.,
which was swept by a flood Friday
afternoon when the waters of the
Black River, swollen by recent rains,
washed through the embankment of
he LaCrosse Water Power Company's
dams at Hatfield, is worse by far
than was even feared when the flood
swept the town.
Half of the business section has
been destroyed, together with a part
of the residence district, and it is
alleged by the townspeople, who have
taken refuge on high lands, that the
town will be wiped out. Whether or
not lives have been lost is yet uncertain.
The people have been scattered,
and canvasses ere being made to determine
how many, if any, are missing.
Thus far two persons have not
been accounted for. The town is in
darkness, the electfic light plant
being one of the first to be struck
by the flood.
At seven o'clock Friday night between
twenty-five and thirty business
houses, comprising all the stores on
both sides of two streets, have been
destroyed, together with an equal
number of houses. At that hour the
waters were still rising rapidly, and
the destruction of the stores in the
other business streets is looked for
every minute.
The buildings have not been merely
flooded, but destroyed. The water,
flowing in tremendous volume, undermined
one big building after another,
and as each collapsed, the debris
was carried away.
'No means could be taken to stop
the wrecking of the town. The people,
although they knew of the overflowing
of the dam, showed little
fear of its effects uutil the waters
burst upon them. *
The disaster was caused by the
sudden rise of the Black River, behind
the dams of the LaCrosse Water
Power Company, from rains which
lasted almost a week. The dams
withstood the pressure, but in each
case the river washed around the
sides, taking out a big section of the
river bank and coming down upon
the country below in almost as great
a volume as though the dams had
been swept away.
Besides the damage at Black River
Falls, a great tract of surroundind
country was overrun. Effort was
made to send warnings to farmers,
but telephone wires soon went down
and the fate of many settler* who
knew nothing of the flood until it
struck their immediate locality is the
cause of some apprehension.
Below Black River Falls are a
number of villages and the high waters
are due to strike them during
the night and next day. Forces of
men have been sent out to strengthen
the bridges in the three counties
along the river. *

This was part of the testimony
given before the United States Senate
committee, which is investigating
charges that bribery and corruption
contributed to Senator Stephenson's
election in Winconsin.
In reply to his complaint Senator
Stephenson was told that the three
other Republican candidates for the
primary nomination?former Congressman
Samuel A. Cook, who spent
$42,203; former State Senator William
H. Hatton, who spent $30,200,
and Francis It. McGovern, now governor
of Wisconsin, who spent $11,063?were
making a hard fight,
their expenses finally aggregating
$83,26S. This, together with Senator
Stephenson's expenses made a
total for the Republican senatorial
campaign of that, year of $191,0 61.*

DISCUSSES SEVERAL SUBJECTS
WHILE OX THE WING.
Want#* His Friends on the Pardon
Board Before He llefcrs Any Cases
to It.
The Spartanburg correspondent
says Gov. Cole L. Blease arrived in
that city Friday night from Greenville.
He will speak at Greer, to a
gathering of Red Men. The Govern
or reiterated tne statement given out
ii? Greenville in regard to the Helton
incident, and displayed the letters.
He stated that when the Legislature
convened again he would urge the
passage of the bills that failed to get
through at the session on, notably,
among them being the abolition of
all free passes by the railroads and
to force them to charge the same
fares to all alike, rich and poor,
white and black.
lie stated that he would recommend
to the Legislature to abolish
the hosiery mill and will introduce
export testimony to show that it is a
nuisance and that it is determental
to the health of those who are forced
to work in it and that it should be
abolished.
Gov. Hlease spoke interestingly of
the Democratic chance sfor the election
of the next president and reiterated
his choice of Governor Harmon,
giving as his reasons that he thought
that Harmon could carry New York
and Ohio, and that this would win,
together with the other sure Democratic
iStates.
He stated that he was in fnvor of
winning and Harmon was the only
man, in his opinion, who could defeat
Taft. Personally, the Governo rsaid
that he preferred either Champ Clark
or Oscar Underwood, both being Southern
men, but he feared they had no
chance.
He explained that Dr. Parker, of
Charleston, employed attorneys and
sought a pardon for the three negroes
sent up for taking a joy ride
in his auto and explained why such a
pardon was granted.
When asked why he did not submit
any matters to the pardoning
board, he said that it consisted of
three of his enemies and that it
would bo foolish to submit matters to
them when they would oppose a pardon
because, he, the Governor, favored
it.
"But," added Governor Please, "if
they will resign I will appoint three
of my friends and will agree to submit
every case to such a board." *

Tlio South has been a persistent and

On the basis of the crop report of

at from 14,000,000 to 16,000,000
bales, though others put it under

WILSON IS STRONG
NEW YORK NEWSPAPER MAN
NOTES GROWTH OF SENTIMENT.
J. Maxwell Gordon Relieves that
Jersey Governor Will Re Democratic
Nominee for the Presidency.
That the sentiment among Democrats
throughout the country for
Governor Wood row Wilson, as nominee
for the Presidency is rapidly
growing, and even reaching the state
of crystalization, was the opinion expressed
by J. Maxwell Gordon, a special
correspondent of a New York daily,
who is in Charleston, interviewing
representative people on the approcahing
Presidential campaign,
says The News and Courier.

.'Southern States gathering material
lor articles in Northern papers on
the sentiment in this section. lie has
already spent considerable time in
the West. In a conversation with a
representative of The News and Courier
he said that there was no doubt
that the far West, North and East
of a stronger and vigorous Wilson
sentiment.
"Governor Wilson," he stated, "is
being pressed into the campaign.
Men of prominence as well as magazines
and daily periodicals of power
and wide circulation are each day
being added to the list of Wilson's
supporters, and there is no doubt, that
he will be a candidate for the nomination.
His remarkable success in
overthowing the bosses of New Jersey,
as well as his progressive administration
of that State's Government,
has demonstrated to the entire
nation that he is not only a thinker,
a trained student of politics, but an
executive of rare ability.
"A recent interview with Governor
Wilson showed pretty clearly his
grasp of the real difference in issues
between the two great parties
"The Republicans believe in permitting
the minority, who hold the
wealth of the nation, to run the Government,"
lie said in this interview.
'Their argument is, We have the
r*ost at stake, so let us manage things
and if we are prosperous you are
bound to be benefited. What the Republicans
really insist upon might be
called a sort of trusteeship fo" all of

the little fellow who is fighting his
way up the commercial ladder have a
say about how the big problems are
to be regulated. In other words, the
Republican policy is a let us alone
policy, and it always will be the
same. They want to govern for tho
people. My idea of a Democrat?at
least the kind of a Democrat I am?
just ithe opposite of what I had described
tho Republican to be.
" '1 believe not in government for
the people, but in government by the
people for the people. In my opinion,
tho practical struggling financial
or business nan is much better fitted
than the magnate to dictate legislation
that will react for the benefit of
all classes alike, without preference
to any.
" 'The magnate whom we find as a
tMlt leaning with the Republican par
ty already has his missions, and is
only interested in making more. The
small fellows the Democrat?takes a
broader view of affairs, which effect
one end all alike.
" 'Consequently, in my opinion, only
a Democratic Administration of the
Government will result in the financial
and industrial reforms which
must be directed by the Government
in order to be effectual.' "

THE WORLD FOR CHRIST
Interesting Statistics I*resente(l at
World-Wide Methodist Meeting by
Delegate from England. ? Maryland
Minister Pleads for Union of
All Methodist Churches in America.
Statistics relative to "resources in
men and means in Methodist mission
ilelds," as given Friday by the Rev.
James JL Lewis, of Cambridge, England,
proved interesting to the delegates
of seventeen coikitries, who
attended Friday's sessions of the Ecumenial
Methodist Conference in
Toronto, Canada.
From the detailed reports presented,
it appeared that during the last
year there were 2,528 Methodist foreign
missionaries. These included
1)18 ordained men and 120 physicians,
53 of the doctors being
women. Native wokrers numbered
20,847 while the number of missionary
stations and sub-stations was 6,7
02. These missionaries represent
708,105 baptized Chritians and 1,444,292
adherents, of whom 458,105
were Sunday School teachers and
scholars.
The ordained ministry at the beginning
of 1910 was 52,978, of whom
but 2,322, or 5 per cent., counting
foreigners and natives were in the
mission Held.
"Of our total number of ministers
throughout the world," said Mr. Lewis,
"the average is one of every 14
Methodist church members. In heathen
countries the ratio is one Meth
enlist, minister to every 3 03 members.
Our means, as expressed by the income
of the missionary societies in
1910, totalled about $7,000,000, a
sum which represents about 5 0 cents
to each of the 8,751,4 34 .Methodists.'*
Practically every phase of foreign
misisonary work was discussed by
delegates from various fields. An
urgent pie awas made by the Rev. T.
H. Lewis, of Westminster, Md., who
is president of the General Conference
of the Methodist Protestant
Church, for a union of American
Methodists into one body. This
proposition, which had been discussed
at the opening of the Conference,
evidently is favored by a large majority
of the United States delegates,
Bishop E. E. Hoss, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, was the only
one to express dissent at Friday's
meetings.
"When you get too big a church, i
it suffers from its own obesity." he
said.
Mr. Lewis stated his position in
favor of such a union thus:
"We are keeping ourselves back
from the greatest opportunity ever
offered us by the most, unnecessary
and inexcusable hindrance over tolerated.
If a consensus of opinion
could be taken as to what one circumstance
would do most to promote
world-wide evangelism among Methodists
themselves, enlist most missionaries,
and start a missionary crusade
'that would set the world aflame
with new zeal and hope. I believe
an overwhelming majority of all our
people would say "it is the union of
American Methodists into one body.'
We have seventeen different names
for Methodists in America and consequently
about as many different
missionary campaigns. In the field
we compete with each other, duplicate
each other's efforts and confuse
those trying to serve."
Evangelism, Mr. Lewis said, is essentially
the heart of Methodism.
"But doctrine and policy are only
the mechanical exponents of the real
peculiarities of Methodism. Pierce a
Methodist until he bleeds and you
find, not a dogna nor a rubric, but a
throbbing heart. For him regeneration
is not a figure of speech nor a
magic formula. Methodism is heart
power rather than mind power, but
it has both. Methodist claim to have
received a new and peculiar power
demonstrated to be of Clod?a peculiar
power over sinners, entailing responsibility
for world-wide evangelism."
Among other speakers Friday were
the Rev (1. W. Clinton, of Charlotte.
N. (\, Bishop of the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church, who spoke
on "The Mission of Methodism to
tHe Backward Races:" the Rev. David
Brock, of Southport, England,
"The Mission of Methodism to the
Xon-Chrlstlan Races'" Bishop E. E.
I loss, of Nashville, Tenn, "Methodism
in Korea."
