/'NO BODY GUARD " ?.? GOVERNOR BLEASE SAYS BEARD DID NOT GO WITH HIM DURING LAST CAMPAIGN ? c In Kcply The IVe Re? Daily Recalls \ History of CampniKn and (iives ' c Koine Facts to Refresh the CJovern- j or's Memory?Tells of llrard's Ad- ^ mission on Platform* ' I The Georgetown Times says when Gov. Hlcase was asked about the Pee ( Daily story of "Hull Moose" Heard j travelling over tho State in behalf of K Hleaso for Senator and McLaurin for ( Governor, he said: 1 "Mr. Heard was not my bodyguard j during last summer. While I have a N very low opinion of some of my one- f mies, and believe that at one cam- r palgn meeting, particularly, there \ was an organized movement to as- t nussinated me 1 have never thought t) it was necessary to carry an armed ( bodyguard, and this remark on the t part of the editor of this little one- i cent sheet is absolutely libelous to Mr. Heard. As to Mr. Heard working t in my interest throughout the State, i 1 have never heard of it. I appre- c elate his friendship and want the e friendship of every respectable white ^ man 1 can got. Some of them are \ not respectable and their support 1 i do not want. I do not care for the t support of the editor of the Pee Dee ^ Daily. t "As to Mr. Heard's remarks as to V Senator McLaurin, 1 presume they are his own. They were certainly c not dictated or put into his mouth by a me. Neither were tho words he uses >' criticising Mr. Humbert. I have no o interest in the first race for governor (. unless the issue is drawn clearly be- t tween Hlease and anti-Please. In l that event I shall stand by the man a ?m? i rprrMMHH T j)0 MieaSO iSHUC. If 0 ho goes down I bIiall go with him. i Senator McLnurin is a brainly man. t Col. Uembert is a brainy man. There t will bo other good men in the race, I and the white people of South Cnro- li linn are competent, to pick a man for governor without any dictation from me, and there most assured 'will he none attempted by me." . I Bennetts ville Paper's Reply. To this the I'oe Doe Daily, which is published at Hennottsvllle has replied: ' c "Jn the article referred to, wo ^ Nvero <1 \iotink Mr. Hoard, and not j Governor Hlease. The article itself v made that very clear. Perhaps Mr. c Yleard has been talking and travel- j ing in the interest of Gov. Hlease, rj without the latter's knowledge. If s :?o, The Daily has given the governor wuprne important information. Mr. ( f?eard admitted on the stand at one v Of the campaign meetings last sum- ( mcr, in answer to a direct question, j in the presence of Gov. Hlease and t liundreds of others, that, he was arm- ( <5(1; he had in his pocket a commis- . ffion from Gov. Hlease as a detec- j tive; ho was paid by the governor { out of the State funds; and accoml>anied Gov. Hlease to the stand and ( Fat with .him on the stands at most of the campaign meetings in the up- , per part of the State, at the time ( Gov. Hlease was telling about his fears of being assassinated. These facts were published at the time by nearly all the papers in the State. Perhaps Gov. Hlease has forgotten these facts. If so, The Daily has done him another service by reminding him .of them. Mr. Heard does nut ritgu.ru jvh iiopious mo statement that ho was (Jov. Blease's bodyguard, lie has never denied it. He jokingly referred to it while in the office of The Daily the other day. When the governor says that Mr. Beard was not his bodyguard, he contradicts Mr. Beard. To normal minds and characters, the charge of falsehood Is greater libel than that of being the governor's bodyguard, even if the latter were not true. "Oov. Blease contradicts himself almost in the same breath when he aays: 'In that event, I shall stand by the man who represents the Blease issue. If he goes down, I shall go with him. * * * The white people of South Carolina are competent to pick a governor without any dictation from me, and there most assuredly will he none attempted by me.' "The statement that the governor does not want the support of the oditor of the Pee Dee Daily, reminds us of the old fable, in which the fox ttaid he did not want those old sour' grapes, after lie found that they were out of his reach." 1 l Chinaman Dies at Age of 150.

After hearing Setertary Garrison's ommunication read the Washington orrespondent of the News and Courer asked Senator Tillman this quesion: What do you understand that Secretary of War to mean, Senator, ?y a "proper letter?" Senator Tillman answered as folows: "I would ])refer others to inerpret that language for themselves, will guess this, however: "Governor Blenso, whether intenlonally or not, has caused the poodo at the war department to have onio bad feeling towards the State >f South Carolina. Naturally so.

COTTON MILL MEN CHARGED WITH PREVENTIMG REMEDIAL LEGISLATION. TO PROTECT CHILDERN Secretary McKelway Says Manufacturers Have Kept Legislatures of North and South Carolina From Repealing Law Allowing Children to Work Klevcn Hours a Day. The cotton manufacturers of four Southern states?Georgia, Alabama and tho Carolinns?were charged , with having prevented tho legislatures of those states from repealing child labor laws which permit cliil- , dren twelve years old to work eleven hours a day in the mills, in an address at Portland, Ore., Tuesday by A. J. McKelway, of Washington, I). . (\, secretary for the Southern States 1 of the National Child Labor Committee. Mr. McKelway's address was delivered at the Sectional Conference on Capital and Labor incident to the World's Christian Citizenship Con- ! ference, in session at Portland. In addition, Mr. McKelway charged the textile manufacturers of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Texas with public opposition to "tho eight-hour day for children " and the nine-hour day for women workers". At the conclusion of his address he submitted a "Declaration of Dependence" on behalf of the "children of America, in mines and factories and workshops assombled". He said in part: "In the opposition to child labor reform the textile industry has been even more conspicuous than in its employment of children. During the legislative sessions of this year, it is the textile interests of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania that have ( fought tho eight-hour day for children under sixteen and the textile manufacturer of Tennessee and Texas ] were the public opponents of the eight-hour day for children and the nine-hour day for women workers. "It i? tbn rnttnn fnntiirnm the four Southern states of Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas, that have prevented the legislatures of those states from prohibiting the barbarism of allowing a twelve-yearold child work an eleven-hour day? in the case of Georgia a ten-year-old child. Nor are theso low standard laws adequately enforced in these states. "It has been the fashion of the American people to end an abuse, once its consequences were fairly understood. It has heard the indictment against the child labor system, that it moans not only the injury, physical, mental, moral, to thousands of individual children, but an injury to society itself, and injury to the race. The system stands to-day convicted by public opinion as guilty on these several counts; that it involves racial degeneracy, tho perpetuation of poverty, tho continuance of dependency, the enlargement of illiteracy, the increase of crime, the disin- ' tegration of the family, the lowering of the wage scale and tho swelling of the army of the unemployed. Tho verdict is the abolition of child labor in America at whatever cost. "It if be proved that child labor is not essential to tho existence of an industry, then let child labor die and the industry live. Rut if it be claimed that any industry can not survive without the employment of children, that industry writes itself down as unworthy of survival on American soil." ? SHOOTS IN COURT. Man Fires Three Times at Prisoner in Tampa. Just as County Judge E. V. Whitaker adjourned court Wednesday morning at Tampa, Fla., in the preliminary hearing of W. E. Maddox, a white man who is accused of assault upon a thirteen-year-old girl, E. E.

To Pennsylvania and the (loverninent for Splendid Treatment?Pledge I tmost Loyalty to I'nited States. At a meeting of the Confederate Veterans at Gettysburg the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : "Resolved, by the ex-Confederates at Gettysburg assembled that our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to the state of Pennsylvania tor initiating the movement which has made it possible for the survivors of the two great armies which fought in tills illustrious field fifty years ago, to meet in friendship here to-day and plant a monument of peace a monument which shall stand as the symbol of American valor, manhood and brotherhood. "Resolved, that we thank the government of the United States for the magnificent and munificent manner in which it has seconded the efforts of the state of Pennsylvania in carrying forward this great work of peaco and fraternity between the blue and gray; and without any self-abasement whatsoever, we desire to reaffirm and pledge not only ourselves, but all our brother ex-Confederates, and all the people of our loved Southland to the utmost loyalty to the government of the United States and to the flag of our country. "Resolved, that we take pride in the fact that to the armies of the Confederacy is due the credit of demonstrating the utter impossibility of the dismemberment of the Union. When we consider that 600.000 men of the very flower of chivalry, as good material as was ever organized in a lighting force, and directed by such commanders aR our beloved Robert R. Lee and his lieutenant, inspired by a sectional devotion such as has not elsewhere been known in history, failed to separate the states, we seo that the demonstration was complete, that the thing was not to be done, and our failure must give pause to those who in the future would contemplate such an undertaking." Drunk Negro Has Luck. Lying with his head between the cross ties not six inches away from passing trains, a negro was found Wednesday night at Columbia hopelessly drunk. The negro had been noticed around the union station, apparently drinking, and was told to move on. From the time ho moved on until found exactly 12 freight trains? one of 4 5 cars?and three passenger trains passed over these tracks. I It is said that Attorney-General McReynolds has been very kind to the Republican holdovers in his department. He even retained the private secretary of the former attorneygeneral and one of the assistant attorney-generals, both of whom are Republicans. Tbis kindness to Republicans had no effect on McNaib, who was another Republican holdover retained by McReynolds. He knifed his benefactor on the first opportunity. HOARDERS WANTED.
