PARKER REPLIES To Ilia Massage if Goferntr Blaise Abut Cotton Mill Marger. SUATEMENT NOT TRUE . ? AH Details of the Alleged Mill Merger Explained to the Judiciary Committees of the House and Senate and a Full Investigation is Incited and Desired. At a joint meeting Thursday afternoon the senate and house commit* tees on judiciary granted a hearing to Lewis W. Parker of Greenville, in regard to the special message from tho governor about the Parker Cotton Mill Company, charging that the socalled "cotton mill merger" had reduc^l the price of cotton, dodged taxes and made a futile effort to control tho votes of its employes. Mr. Parker said that if tho general assembly saw lit his company courted tho investigation lecommended by tho governor. "If I am the kiid of man which tho governor says I am in his special message, then I never knew my own power," declared Mr. Parker in his talk to the two judiciary committees. As to tho charge that the merging of certain South Caiolina mills into the Parker Cotton Mill Company had reduced tho price of cotton from 15 to 9 cents, Mr. Parker told the members of the committees that tho 10 mills in tho company of which he was president consumed only one two hundred and fiftietn of tho cotton produced in tho South, a total of about 15,000,000 bales, of which the Parker Cotton Mill Company used about 00,000 bales each year. Tho merging of tho 16 mills in ' "'the Parker Cotton Mill Company had been a business proposition, said Mr. Parker. IIo then told briefly how he bad become a manufacturer after practicing law a few years, by hoinc fnrnr>fl in tnkr- nvpp tlio mnn agement of the Victor cotton mill, "whose paper he had indorsed, to save himself from bankruptcy 14 years ago As to the mills which has subsequently come under his control, Mr. Parker stated that ho had never taken charge of them except at tho request of the stockholders. In regard to tho merging of the eight mills, other than tho original eight which ho operated, Mr. Parker said that at tho solicitation of the stockholders in these mills he had exk changed the stock which they held .for stock in tho larger company. "I am now working to make a change in the class of goods hitherto made in these mills and to manufacture cloth which it has been necessary to go out of South Carolina to huy," said Mr. Parker. "I am trying to get away from the cheap standard grades and to diversify the ** product of tho mills. And if this is avoiding competition, I plead guilty to tho charge. ' Mr. Parker said there were 500,<000 spindles in tho Parker Cotton (Mill company, 4,5000,000 in Sout.ii Carolina, 30,000,000 in tho United States and 140,000,000 in tho world. "In New England," Mr. Parker .said, "aro a number of mill companies each of which represent larger investments than do tho Parker Mills company." Several of these he named and also named a number of mills in South Carolina that consume i lo ncrnv 11 nmhni* i\f l^nlno r\ (* f? a iril hv'1 UU11U7V>I W JL Ul VyWllUll ^ annually than do tho Parker mills, naming three or fohr. These South "Carolina mills consume mo.'o cotton because they manufacture coarser goods. Mr. Parker especially stressed that his mills were creating South Carolina market for staple cotton. "Any talk of tho Parker Mill company controlling tha price of cotton is absurd," declared Mr. Parker. As to the intimation in tho governor's special message that the mills under his control wore dodging taxes, Mr. Parker said that they were paying a higher tax per spindle than any other mill company in South Carolina. "I have never sought to control l the votes of the people whom I emr ploy, and I join with tho governor in being thankful that this is true that it is impossible for any ono to control them." Mr. Parker stated that ho had nothing to do with the Enoree mill, named in tho governor's special messago as ono of tne mills whoso stock had been "watered." In this connection, Mr. Parker said that if it were "watering stock" to buy a mill at a bargain and sell It at a higher price, then he pleaded guilty on this count. t In conclusion, 'Mr. Parker de- t clared, "If tho South Carolina gen- I oral assembly wishes to give dignity to tho unfounded statements and in- \ W sinuations in tho governor's special c message, then the Parker Cotton 1\ ^NTills company, which has nothing to fiide, asks an investigation. If the r time has come when a man's sue- s cess is to he used aganst him in r South Carolina, then It Is time for t ambitious men to get out of the r State." After Mr. Parker's speech, H. J. tl Haynesworth of Greenville Spoke p briefly along the same lines. a Senator Laney Interrupted to ask o , WlbON AMI) HAKVtV TROCODUjIS TEARS FLOW FREEST FROM ENEMIES Of the Vfew Jersey Governor Over His Break With the New York Trust Editor. A Washington dispatch says the Wilson-Harvey episode brought Friday simultaneously with the arrival of Col. Henry Watterson, a statement by William F. McComb, campaign manager for Woodrow Wilson, declaring that "the tears that are being shed over the passing incident are wrung from thoso who have hitherto been the most conspicuous opponents of Gov. Wilson." Col. Watterson, who will be here Hfiveral davs in connection with the work of the Berry memorial committee, read the McComb statement as well as the one made today at Nashville, Tenn., by Judge Robert lOwing, but declined to comment on either. "As to the Wilson matter," said the Colonel, "I have nothing to add to what already has been said unless it be seriously challenged by some responsible person. Then I may have a good deal to say." The statement issued by Mr. MoComb follows: "With reference to the alleged Wilson-Harvey incident, it seems to mo that Col. Watterson has said in a statement all that needs to be said, it appears therefore that as far back as last October ho himself suggested to Gov. Wilson that Col. Harvey's support through Harper's Weekly, might be injurious and that he probably told Col. Harvey himself hie same thing. It would seem that Col. Watterson had convinced the governor of the truth of his opinion, and had at least impressed Col. Harvey with the probability of its truth, else Col. Ilarvey would not have propounded the question. It is passing strange that Col. Watterson should feel concern that the governor in private conversation with himself and Col. Harvey should in answer to a pointed question give frank expression to the very view which Mr. Watterson himself entertained and which he had communicated to the governor and probably to Col. Ilarvey. "In October, last, the very month in which he made the suggestion to Gov. Wilson, Col. Watterson said, In the Louisville Courier-Journal, editorially: " 'Two things seem tolerably sure to the surmise of The Courier-Jour nal: If Wood row Wilson is nominated for president, it will bo through the force of nn irresistible pressure of public opinion, and if he is defeated for the nomination, it will ho by Bonio organized agency, well backed with money. " 'No Democrat of modern times has come into the running, Samuel .T. Tilden alone excepted, with half at once of the equipment and the claim of the New Jersey governor.' "The tears that are being shed over the passing incidents are wrung from those who have hitherto been the most conspicuous opponents of Clov. Wilson?witness the frequently-quoted statement of Mayor Dubinin 11 of Omaha, Neb., who has for months not only been openly opposed to Gov. Wilson, but who has been the aggressive champion of another candidate. The same applies to others who have indulged In lachrymose expressions.

There are 11 no longer any uncertainties. The c race for governor will lie between () Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, former j chief justice of the supreme court, c and Coleman L. Blease, of Newberry, ^ present governor. I'll is was made certain by the pos- sj itive announcement by John G. tl Richards, Jr., member of the railroad commission and one time do- 1 feated for governor, that lie would not enter the race for the governor- r ship. The attitude of Mayor Richards has been in do 'bt for some time, tl lie refused to make a definite state- E inent for a long time as to whether li ho would enter the race. The an- A nouncement simply means a clear w held for Ira B. Jones and the contest is going to be sharply drawn. f< "Citizen" Jones, as the former chief justice is now called by many, 11 left tho supreme court bench on Jan- *l nary 9. lie has been taking a kind of breathing spell sine? that date ss and will in a few days commence an Ci aggressive and active campaign for the governorship of the state, lie is anxious to take the trail and tho gen- S( oral opinion is that ho is going to 11 make a most dangerous opponent to ... v me present governor. " At the present time there is no ^ a i other prospective candidate for the oflico of governor. Both the former chief justice and the present governor are on the local option platform ^ and the issue in tl.e next race will I St bo men. As is known, this year is election year in South Carolina. Every oilice in the State from United States senator down is to lilied. The gen- \lt eral opinion is that sentiment toward j31 the various candidates is largely formed at the session of the general assembly. c] All of the politically wise ones in aj the state were fooled as to the atti- to tude of the general assembly toward o\ the governor. Taking the action of be both houses on the vetoes of the appropriation hill last year, it was thought that the chief executive would have a strong following at this ^ session. That he has not a strong following is shown by the crushing defeat that ho has met at every turn at the hands vc of the members of the general asof sembly. Both houses refuse to take ^ the governor seriously. The senate goes so far now as to refuse to listen to the special message to the gov- j. crnor. ! , of The reading clerk usually reads 41 lines .and then the reading is (lis- \x, HAHanJ ...54 1. 4-1. ~ ~ I'ouocu ? mi (iiiu iru iucodmkob <uu ordered printed in the journal. Ev- (p cry member of the general assembly, necessarily has a strong following in .,c his home county or bo would not be here. of What effect will the antagonism of of the legislature have on the prospects for re-election of the gover- in nor? That is an interesting question ti| and ono that will 110 doubt give the be chief executive much worry in the of planing of bis campaign. w< The "big night" of the general as- lie semhly will come on the last night stc when the light starts over the appropriation bill. By the various messages of the governor he has indicated that he will veto many items Us of the appropriations. Lowndes J. Browning, of Union, the chairman of the ways and means committee, is framing the appropria- ab Hon bill. The estimates sent in call vil for $2,400,000, and thero is only inj $1,000,000 available for the state In taxes. sm Before that bill is sent down for 0? Lho governor's approval every unnec- 858 ssary item will bo cut out. This IIil means that any veto work by the ')0 governor will cripple many depart- C(* ments of the state government. a 5 This is only ono of the popular P? stunts of the governor to fool the 11 public into the belief that ho is sav- Fl11 ing the people of the state money. In this connection it might be mentioned that while ho cut out clerlTs ind stenographers in several departments last year, that he employed an jxtra stenographer or clerk in his ,or )fTlce.

Harvey. - -.? rHEN COMES THE BREAK Yilson is Making a Runaway Race for the Nomination, and His Enemies Have Allied Themselves Together to Head Him Off by Telling Political Lies on Him. The attitude of Col. Henry Waterson in regard to the break between iOV. Wilson and Coi. llarvey, about vhich ho gavo out a long interview lomo days ago, Is regarded in Washngton as peculiarly significant in iew of tho fact that ho was present tnd overheard Colonel Harvey's suggestion of a meetir g between Governor Wilson and Thomas F. Ryan, he railroad and trust magnate of \Tew York. In b;.-> Interview Col. iVatterson said nothing about this in;ident. v Tn view of tho disclosure about Thomas F. Ryan's connection with be incident, there are few, if any, persons in Washington who do not ommend Governor Wilson's stand in he matter. His fi lends are positive hat the country will applaud him for leclining the alleged proposal of Colmcl Harvey that Governor Wilson nect Thomas F. Rjan, whose posiion in the Democratic party is likjnod to that of J. Picrpont Morgan 11 tlio Republican party. That the break between Gov. Wil:oii aiul Col. Harvey was the result if an effort on the part of the latter o arrange a meeting between Governor Wilson and Thomas F. l?vnn Is I ho assertion of the friends of Ciov. iVdlson. They add that Col. Watterion has been guilty of base dissimilation in his statement because, mowing tlio whole truth, ho conlealed from the public the most imlortant feature of the conference bewe?n himself, Col. Harvey and Gov. Vilson, and that he endeavored to mpress upon the public that Gov. Vilson's attitude toward his friend, !!ol. Harvey, was gratuitous and vithout provocation or reason. According to Gov. Wilson's friends nd others who know the inside of ho conference between the governor, Jol. Watterson and Col. Harvey, the uiblication of tlio whole truth, will trengthen Wilson's stock with tlio eople throughout the country, intend of Injuring him as a candidate >r the Democratic nomination for the residency. It will act as a boom to lie interests responsible for its wide xploitation. When Gov. Wilson met with Col. Patterson and Col. Harvey in New "ork, the latter suggested to the govrnor that he either agree to a meettig with Thomas P. Ryan to make rrangements for the financing of his ampaign or authorize Col. Harvey 0 proceed along these lines. Gov. Wilson emphatically but poitely declined to entertain either roposal. ITe is represented as havng declared that he could not con* istently agree to accept the support f Mr. Ryan, as it was generally nown that lie and Mr. Ryan were ntirely out of accord about many overnmental principles, progressive olicies for which Gov. Wils >n stood, 1 which Mr. Ryan is opposed. When Gov. Wilson had made it erfectlv clear that ho would not 1 leet Mr. Ryan nor accept. iiis flnanial aid in liis campaign, Col. Harvey sked tlio governor ii lie thought that is support was damaging to his can- ' idacy. Gov. Wilson answered frank- < r that he did, in view of Col. liar- < ey's backing. 1 Tlio Washington correspondent of < ie Atlanta Journal says Gov.

TTis four opponents realized t lat he was making a runaway race ^ P It, and they centered their guns i 1 him. lie was shot at and harassed ^ om every quarter. So it. is with s ov. Wilson today. All of (lie other s "ospectivo candidates evidently roc- 1 vnize that Gov. Wilson is making a t infiwny race, and they have all irned their guns on him. 8 With a view to making further at- a eks on Gov. Wilson's record, it is a arned tonight that his political en- r nios, with the knowledge and con- ? nt. of other candidates contesting < r the nomination, have searched his cord with a flno tooth como. They ^ ivo road and re-read his writings, i s lectures and his public speeches, v :tending back ovor a period of years, d While their labors have netted s em littlo of value, it is said they I opose now to take excerpts from N imo of the governor's writings and c r them attempt to prove that he is r io enemy of the Roman Catholic v lurch and of organized labor. It is anncd to "spring" these at interils, beginning at an early date, in io double hope of putting the govnor on the defensive, if possible, s id of convincing party loaders of his I m-avallability for the nomination, t bo unfairness of the move is obvi- ] is, but Gov.

Wnndmw wii_ son and Col. Georgo Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly. Friends of the Governor said his enemies could not distinguish between the support of Harper's Weekly and that of Wall street. At the time Gov. Wilson said to a reporter for the New York World: "'My attention hu3 of course been drawn to the fact that the last two numbers of Harpci 's Weekly have made no mention of my name, but this is certainly not due to any breach (1 any kind between Col. Harvey and myself. Col. Harvey runs Harper's Weekly entirely on his own judgment." Col. Harvey admitted to a reporter for The World that ho had read the reports, but lie refused to comment on them. He absolutely refused to discuss the report that he had been requested to discontinue his active support of Gov. v\ ilson's candidacy. The following announcement appears ai the head of Mie editorial page of [Harper's Weekly In its issue today: To Our Headers. "We make the following reply to many inquiries from readers of Harper's Weekly: "The name of Woodrow Wilson as our candidate for President was taken down from he bead of these columns in response to a statement made to us directly by Gov. Wilson, to the effect that our support was affecting his candidacy injuriously. "The only course left open to us, in simple fairness to Mr. Wilson, no loss than in consideration of our own self-respect, was fo cease tc advocate his nomination. "We make this explanation with great reluctance and deepest regret. Hut wo cannot escape the conclusion that the very considerable num uer or our readers, who liavo co-operated earnestly and loyally In advancing a movement, which was inaugurated solely in the hope of rendering a higth public service, are clearly entitled to this information. With a copy of this announcement a reporter for The World went to Trenton yesterday to see Gov. Wil son. The Governor was too busy to give an audience. The matter was explained to one of his secretaries, who went in to see tho Governor. The secretary returned after a short conference and said that Mr. Wilson had not had time to read the editorial or to give it any thought; that he would not have time during the evening, and that if ho should make any comment at all, none would bo made that night. The Governor was at his desk until late. Then ho hurriedly left tho building to catch a train for Princeten, where he said again he had no comment to make.
