CLOSE FRIEND OF GOV. BLEASE
TALKS OUT. j
?
WRITES AN OPEN LETTER
In Which He Says the Governor Does
Not Propose to Enter a Second Pri-,
niary, but Would Go in the General
Election WTith Nearly a New
Ticket.
"In case action of this executive
committte makes it necessary for Gov
ernor Blease as the nominee of the
democratic primary, to contest in the
general election against Ira B. Jones
or some other independent candidate
for governor, we have from various
men of more or less prominence in
politics the following state ticket suggested
to us for the Bleasites or regular
democrats to put out.
"F'or governor, Cole L. Blease, of
Newberry; lieutenant, governor, Thos
F. Brantley, of Orangeburg: secretary
of state, J. V. Wallace of Charleston;
Comptroller General, Jas. H.
Craig, of Anderson; state treasurer,
Newton L. Bennett, of Spartanburg;
cpnprftl. Oscar W. Babb, of
aUJ VtlUUV O V m-? -w . , ? ...
Laurens; commissioner of agriculture
Jas. Norton, of Mullins; attorney general,
Thos H. Peeples, of Blackville;
railroad commissioner, John G. Richards,
of Kershaw; superintendent of
education, J. E. Swearingen, of Edgefield.
This is the bold statement made in
a letter to The News and Courier,
dealing with the general political situation
in South Carolina, written by
one of the "inner circle" of the Blease
camp and believed to be agreeable to
Governor Blease himself, if appeal
must be made to the general election
to decide the State officers for the
next two years. It is certain that
some of the men named on the above
ticket would not run in the general
election against the regular nominees
of the Democratic party.
The naming of a ticket headed by
Governor Blease makes it certain that
no matter what the action of the
State committee provided they find
Blease not the nominee or order a
second election that the governor will
'1-- r.t +V.O
refuse to recognize me acuuu
committee and will go into the general
election claiming to bo the regular
nominee of the democratic party.
In fact, it is believed both on all sides
that the governor would refuse to go
into a second primary if ordered now
and that he will claim that the State
committee has usurped power in orrering
another primary. That they
have no legal right to do so.
Anoather significant part of the
letter which is recognized as at least
"semi-otlici?U"is this; "Another thing
which will add strength to the regular
ticket is the matter of election
jpmmissioners and managers. The
governor appoints the commissioners
both state and national, and he being
the regularly recognized nominee
of the Democratic party, he will,
of course, see to it that none but regular,
straight-out Democrats are appointed
to fill those positions, and
they in turn, will select none but
true-blue, and regular Democrats for
election managers.
In that way the white men of the
' ' .L-_l ~ 4- Jl. ? ^.1
state will retain comrui ui lug election
machinery, and it may be in that
case thereareindependent candidates
in the field the regular Demoirats will
still be able to hold the 'black' peril'
down to the usual medium, Jhus giving
these misguided people (in caso
they go to that length) an opportunity
to return to the field after inevitable
defeat has shown them the folly
of such acourse, as did the old time
llaskellites."
The letter which is taken as a
statement of the Please side of the
present rangle in So^ith Carolina
and outlines the course which that
faction will follow, attacks the state
executive committee as a partizan
body, overriding the will of the people
.taking unto themselves powers
which they haven't and procrastinating
as much as possible. Particular
attention is paid to John Gary
Evans, State chairman, and W. F.
Stevenson, chairman of the sub committee
probing into the alleged
frauds.
Reference is made to the dilatory
tactics of the committee and bitterly
attacks the action they have taken.
The semi-official statement declares
that, the committee has no power to
order another primary now and in11

primary would be illegal and that
if the election for governor in thrown
out on account of fraud it will invalidate
the nomination for general assembly
and all county oilicers anc
throw them into the general election
Disavowment is made for responsi
bility of the "war talk" which has
been indulged in by some of tin
iHleasities in these words: "We an
in no wise responsible for the wilt
iulminations' that followed the pro
crastinating course of the partisai
committee and the unjust, unreason
able and outrageous untruthful atti
tude of a major proportion of th
press, pplpit and the various organ
ization of this State is respon
sible for it. They kindle dthe fires o
resentment and fanned the flames o
hatred by continually referring t
Governor Blease's political adherent
as anarchists, hoodlums, lower e
emcnt, ignorant, visions, and pre
judiced,' and nc\v they wonder at th
dangerous aspect of the storm. 'II
that soweth the wind shall reap th
whirlwind' is a quotation that shoul
have been heeded in the conventio
last May," and then goes on to hoi
out the olive branch to the opposin
faction if they "will come Into th
fold" and present a solid front t
the common enemy."
Tho State committee is given
veiled threat in this matter. Anott
WILL BE NO DELAY
JOHN GARY EVANS WRITES TO
SENATOR TiliLMAN.
?
State Chairman Cautions the Senator
Not to Recoino Unduly Alarmed as
to Course of Committee.
John Gary Evans, chairman of the
State executive committee, Tuesday
gave out the following letter to Senator
Tillman:
"Spartanburg, Sept. 14, 1912.
"Htfn. 13. R. Tillman, Trenton, S. C.
"My Dear Senator: I have your
letter of September 12 concerning the
political situation. As I wrote you
before, I am satisfied that every
member of the sub-committee appointed
by me to investigate the
charges of fraud in the late primary
election is an honest man, anxious
and willing to do what is right and
to save the primary .
It is very (unfortunate that Chairman
Stevenson could not meet with
the committee on yie day it was called.
He wrote me that it was impossible
for the reason that his wife was
quite ill and it was necessary to place
| her in a hospital in the North, where
I learn he has gone. I am informed
that he expects to return to the State
within a week's time, but in order
not to delay the committee he called
Mr. Butler and W. B. Wilson to meet
him in Charlotte that he might give
them hie views as to the method of
procedure.
I had presumed that the committee
had been informed of the situation.
I have stated my position clearly
to both sides of the committee, as
there appear to be two sides. I am
sure than none of them desire to delay
a matter so important to our people
one moment, but the committee
J could not be expected to make undue
haste to the neglect of its duty.
"I think you are unduly alarmed
and trust that you will do all in your
power to prevent any undue excitement
to our people as both candidates
for governor have expressed a
desire that this investigation be had
and we wish to give the nominee a
clean title so that our people may go
to the noils united. They will not do
so under the charges of fraud.
"The great thing now to be accomplished
is the preservation of our
white man's primary and I am sure
this is the feeling of every member of
the executive committee. You may
rest assured that this committee is
incapable of counting out anybody
and they feel the gravity of the situation
as much as you do.
"Do not get excited and lose confidence
in men who have been selected
to direct the affairs of the parry until
you have direct evidence of wrong
doing. If the sub-committee does
fonnrt within n rpflBnnahlft time I
shall take the necessary steps to preserve
the rights of all parties concerned.
With best regards,
"Truly yours,
"John Gary Evans,"
er point to be considered in the settlement
of family affairs, as it were,
is this: The constitution of South
Carolina imposes upon the governor
the duty of appointing the county
treasurers, auditors, masters in equity,
judges of probate ,and magistrates.
Release him from the primary
obligation to respect the nomination,
and he can, and we think
would, appoint to those oillces whom
he pleases. That would afford an
ideal opportunity to put into more extensive
operation the famous declaration:
'I stand by my friends.' "
That Senator Tillman, in the eyes
of the Rleaseites, has made amends,
in a large degree, for what they considered
his "desertion" by advocating
the election of Jones in the first
primary, by his letter to John Gary
Evans demanding instant action on
the part of the executive committee
and favoring the declaring of Blease
the nominee, is evidenced by this
statement: "It should not he forgotten
that Senator Tillman &60 received
the nomination, on the face of
the returns, and should, and undoubtedly
will be, considered the actual
nominee by the regular democracy
and supported accordingly in the
next general assembly when they go
into tho matter of election for a
United States senator." Senator Tillman
seemes to be solid once more
with the Blease faction.
One is struck by the fact that the
somi-ofllcial "defi" has gone forth in
this announcement that, if necessary,
the Bleaseites will make an onslaught
| on the whole of the State House ofllcials
the next time they get a shot
, and in the general election if it goes
. that far. Only two of the accredited
' T - '? t-% j ^ i. 111
^ nominees, .101111 u. iucmuu?, iui iumroad
commissioner, and J. E. Swearingen,
superintendent of education,
escaped and are acceptable to the
Rleaseites. The fact that Mr. Swear|
ingen, a nephew of Senator Tiilman,
? is acceptable is significant.
3 The Stato House oiiiciais running
3 without opposition in the primary
\ were: R. M. McCown, secretary of
. State; A. W. Jones, comptroller-gen3
eral; E. J. Watson, commissioner ol
- agriculture; W. M. Moore, adjutant
. general; Chas. Smith, lieutenant govo
ernor. None of these are acceptable
. to the Rleaseites for they are all con.
sidered as unfriendly to the governoi
f and will ho marked for slaughter i:
,f an appeal is made to the general elec
o tion.
s The 'Rleaseites, from this suggestec
1, ticket, would take Oscar W. Rabb, a
present assistant adjutant general
o and make him adjutant general ovei
e W. tM. Moore, incumbent, and run
o ning without opposition in the las
d primary. The letter goes into dotal
n and is considered in Columbia as be
d ing, at least, seml-ofllcial announce
g ment of what the Rlease faction pro
e poses to do if the State committee re
0 fuses to concede the nomination U
Rlease. For that reason it is of mori
a than usual importance and is consid
?. ?red significant. ,

? ..
THEIR CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Will Ho Enquired Into by a Congressional
Committee and They Will be
Asked All About It?Hearst is
Said to Know a Lot.
The Washington correspondent
of the State says wise politicians are
declaring that a bombshell is likely
to bo thrown into the camps of President
Taft and Hull Mosse Roose
velt when th^ Clapp committee, empowered
with the duty of making
an investigation into the political contributions
under the Penrose resolution,
meets in this city early next
month. Senator Clapp, chairman of
the committee, hah everything in
good order and expects to open the
hearings 011 time .
When Senator Clapp was Jiere a few
days ago he said that all possible
publicity would be given the hearings.
There will be 110 star chamber
proceedings, he said, and that aside
from such executive sessions as the
committee may decide upon from
time to time the public would not only
be welcome but invited to be present
at the sessions and to hear everything
that goes on.
Just now speculation here is rife as
to what revelations will be made by
William It. Hearst. There have been
mutterings recently that he is cocked
and primed and that he intends
to shoot regardless of where his loads |
hit. Those who profess to know say
that what he has in store will make
interesting reading for the ending of
the summer days. !
The list of witnesses for the hearing
is increasing daily. Besides those
already sent into the committee sev
eral more will be agreed upon before
the end of the week. Many of those
to be summoned may know nothing
of interest to the committee, but they
will be asked to come just the same.
If John I). Archbold, George W.
Perkins and Col Roosevelt have any
papers bearing on campaign contributions
they will be politely asked to
produce them. The first examination
according to Senator Clapp, will be of
the men themselves. The committee,
has full power under the resolution
not only to subpoena witnesses if
necessary, but also to send for books,
papers and other neccesary data
which may be required in the work.
One of the most interesting questions
revolves around the Aschbold
letters. It is doubted if Mr. Archbold
has much correspondence relating
to the mater in hand, as it is
believed that Mr. Hearst has most of
this data. In fact Archbold went so
far one time as to say that Hearst
had practically all his private correspondence.
The relation of campaign contributions
to ambassadorial appointments,
to tariff schedules, to railroad legisla
tion and to executive acts of all Kincis
thorough will be the probe. Its
breadth has produced already a seriocomic
situation; each time that a new
angle is thought of inquiry is made of
Senator Clapp. To each inquiry as
to whether this or that angle of campaign
contributions is to be investigated,
Senator Clapp returns an affirmative
answer. This has gone to
such an extent that if everything
that has been proposed were examined
into there is 110 telling where the
investigation would stop and only
one thing is certain, the election of
this year would be long over before
the committee had fairly begun its
nfinothinlirkwos
work.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who
succeeds Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee
as a member of the committee,
promises to take a most active part
in the committee's work and deliberations.
He has gone over a tentative
wnv r?f nil thp nlans so far aereed
upon with Senator Clapp and has
made many valuable suggestions.
This investigation will add spice to
the period just preceding the presidental
election and may add issues to
'he last few weeks of the campaign
not now thought of.
While most interest centers around
Col. Rosevelt, Perkins, Hearst and
Archbold, there will be othtr interesting
witnesses before the committee
from day te day. What bombs will
be exploded no one knows, but the
indications are that the investigation
as a whole will be far different from
many that have been held by congressional
committees from time tc
time within the last few years.

the outlook for the American cotton
crop is still more or le^B inixol, owing

than is usual so early in the season
Of course there are claims by both
bulls and bears, with the forming nredictng
a record consumpton and the
latter a materal fallng o'* owing to
the increase in the size of the crops
of other countries. Last season the
consumption of American cotton was
I 14,500,000 bales. This was a record
There is reason, however, to believe
that pjractically as much will be used
i during the coming season notwithstanding
the fact that In3ia andLgypt
both have larger crops than last year.
The average man interested in the
price of American cotton, however, Is
not concerned so much over whit
the mills nctually consume as much
as he is regarding the amount that
will be taken by manufacturers. As
n mater of fact, the vo'uine of exports
to other countries and the aluounr
ot' cotton needed bv Amreorican
spinners offers a mucb more
simple method of figuring out an idea
of values than any analvsis of prospects
for actual consumption. The
cotton market advanced from early
m tiio vftar not so much because the
consumpton by European mills was
heavy as because of the enormous
amount that was shipped out of that
country thus removing the cotton
for the time being as a faccor in the
American supply situation. Exports

other countries last y?ar no^ 80
much because the consumption by
European mills was heavy as because
of the enormous amount that
was shipped out of this country,
thus removng the cotton for the time
being as a factor in the American
supply'situation. Exports to Europe,
China, Japan, India and other countries
last year amounted to 10,506,4C5
bales, against 7,602,721 for the
year before. The previous record
for exports established several years
ago, was about 8,750,000 bales. Exports
were heavy last season for a
variety of reasons the contributing
causes being the size of the American
crop and its relatively low price,
combined with the shortage in the
crop of India.
Obviously, it is not expected that

where near last year's total of 10,506,000
bales. It is by no means
certain, however, that the volume of
outgong cotton will not "be heavy
enough to cause a severe drain on
this year's production. Last season,
which ended August 31, Great Britain
took 4,243,000 bales, France 1,\
98,000 and the Continent 5,064,000.
Included in the Continental
exports, however, were shipments of
1 6,000 bales to Mexico, 514,000
bales to Japan and 82,000 bales to
India. Further exports to India out
of Liverpool and Continental shipments
amounted to about 100,000
bales additional.
An attempt to figure out export
requirements for the coming season
jbrings forth some interesting results.
Great Britain, on account of
n. - __i li,1 * 1 ? T n n Im
lilt? HJJIU11U1U lltfuu in jjauuanuii ,
probably needs about 4,300,000
bales. It is hard to see how France
can get along with as little as 900,000,
or practically 300,000 less than
last year; the Continent proper took
about 4,3G4,000 bales, and the minimum
calculation probably would be
3,800,000; China, Japan and India
all told took about 700,000 and the
most generous reduction could hardly
place the needs of these countries
out of the present crop at less than
3 00,000 bales. This most conservative
calculation makes a total of 9,300,000
bales, with the estimate based
on cotton costing no more than
7d. Liverpool or 13 cents in New
York. Naturally, if the price goes
higher, the export requirements will
' decrease, but 8,750,000 bales looks
like an extremely low figure for even
a minimum calculation, unless
^ prices go to an unexpected height.
Coming to the question of American
consumption last season, it
, might be stated that while American
( nilLs took about 5,500,000 balefe,
' the ^ctual consumption, as figured
by Secretary Hester, was placed at
5,225,000 bales of American cotton.
, A larger consumption is expected
during the coming season for the
reason that a good many weak spots
in tho textile situation in this country
have been eliminated, and it is
altogether a question of the supply
1 of labor as to the amount American
mills will consume, provided they
can get cotton at reasonable prices,
1 say anywhere under 14 cents. At
- present the mills in this country are
i making more money on the average
I than at any time since the boom of
, 11)07. Tho situation is much more
t sound than it was then because job3
hers and wholesalers have kept
3 stocks of goods down to a hand to
- mouth basis. There is a theoretical
profit of $12 to $15 a bale in cotton
!, now used in print cloth manufactur
ed on the basis of 12-cent cotton. As

e\ mere s 110 very large supiny ui
t it would be comparatively easy to adr>
vanco prices in case the raw mater,

n Aside from the increase in the activity
of spindles and looms, which
t is pushing manufacturers to tlu
> limit in order to find adequate laboi
o supply, thero has been a comfortable
addition to the mill equipment of the
country, with about a million spindles
added to the Southern mill list
I- durng the last year, according to the
e Southern Textile Bulletin. It is es
timated that this additional spindle

STORM HITS BOAT.
Victims Wore Apprentices in United
States Naval Training School.?
Their Bodies Recovered.
Six naval apprentices were drowned
and five are missing as the result
of the capsizing of a cutter from the
United States naval training station
at North Chicago, 111., late Sunday
afternoon. The bodies of six of the
victims were recovered and identified,
and it is .believed that the Ave boys
unaccounted for were drowned.
The boys were between 16 and 2 0
years old and were from the Middle
and Western States.
The party, in which were 2 4 apprentices,
left the training station
shortly after 2 o'clock in charge of
Gunners' Mate Meagus. ,and after
crufsing about for two hours headed
for North Chicago. One of the boys
taken from the water was resuscitated
after several hours.
This reduced the list of known
drowned to five. Gunners' Mate M.
N. Negls, who was in charge of the
cutter in which the boys were drowned,
after aiding in the rescue disappeared.
He is said bo have told
friends that he held himself responsible
in a measure for the wreck and
that he feared it might affect his
mind. When last seen Negis was hys.
terical.
A few minutes later, while the cutter
was north of Lake Forest, a
squall struck the boat, the sails were
lowered and an anchor was thrown

and gradually was being driven on to
the beach. When within 200 feet
of the shore the cutter overturned
and its occupants were thrown into
the water.
Capt. W. F. Fullam, commandant
of the naval training station, saw the
danger of the apprentices from his
headquarters and sent a motor boat
to the rescue, but this craft also was
captized bef#re it had gone far, and
the men in charge of it were obliged
to swim back to the shore.
I>ater a force of rescuers were sent
[along the shore to where the cutter
had been wrecked. Many of the boys
swam to land and others floated
ashore on oars and pieces of wreckage.
A number wore rescued from
the surf by officers of the training
station and cared for at houses near
the scene of the wreck.
It was reported that several of the
boys were unable to swim and became
seasick soon after the squall
struck the cutter. The l>oat in which
