ANS WEHN SENATOR BLEASE Thinks the Newberry Man "Diplomati cally Acknowledged" That He Was Lanahan's Agent. Mr. L. W. Parker, who a few days ago, in his testimony before the com mission to wind up the affairs of the State dispensary, stated that Senator C. L. Blease was at one time the agent of Lanahan, a liquor dealer, replied to Mr. Blease's statement in the following card : Please pardon a few words in answer to Senator Cole L. Blease in his recent remarks in the State Senate with refer ence to my testimony before the wind ing-up commission. The absurdity of the charge of con spiracy as made by Mr. Blease must be apparent, but there may be some condi t ions not understood by all. Neither Captain Smyth nor myself was a sup porter of Governor Ansel in the recent campaign. For myself, though I had the highest personal regard for him, I differed with him on the issues of the campaign, and voted for another. I have wever had a communication with him or anyone else referred to by Mr. Blease with reference to my testi mony, except with Mr. Avery Patton, to whom, after having been subpoe naed as a witness before the winding up commission, I wrote on December 30, urging him "not again to put me to the humiliation of appearing in a mat ter about which I know practically nothing." To this letter I never bad a reply, and had not seen Mr. Patton un til I appeared before the commission a few days since. Mr. Blease asks the question why I waited until after Mr. Lanahan's death to answer the question as to who Mr. Lanahan had told me was representing him in South Carolina I agree with him that it was unfortunate that the answer had to be made subsequent to Mr. Lanahan's death, but \ had no choice in the matter. No one knows better than Mr. Blease why the question was not answered two years ago, at the time of the hear ing before the Legislative committe in HK)G. It was upon Mr. Blease's own motion, and by the effect of his own vote, that I was excused from answer ing the question at that time, against the earnest protest of Mr. Lyon, now attorney general, and two other mem bers of the investigating committee. Having been excused by the investigat ing committee from answering the question then, it certainly would have been improper and inconsistent for me subsequently to have rushed into print to make public statements which I had asked the Legislative committee to ex cuse me from making before them. Having been excused then from dis closing the personage referred to by Mr. Lanahan. I was not called upon to note any denial by him tbat Mr. Blease was the person referred to. It will be noted, however, that Mr. Lanahan never denied any part of the conversa tions referred to by me in my testi mony. He merely denied that he had told me that Mr. Blease represented him, which at that time I had not testi fied to before the committee, because, as stated, I had been excused. Mr. Blease certainly surprises me, however, in his statement to the effect that he had no idea that I had referred to him in my statements before the in vestigating committee. When I testi fied in June, 1906, Mr. Lanahan had been advised of my having been sub poenaed and of the necessity of my tent Lying to m^ conversation with him if the court decreed that I should do so. Furthermore, the attorneys repre senting Mr. H. H. Evans had been ad vised before I testified of the purport r of my testimony. As the intimacy between Mr. Blease and Mr. Kvans was well known, I had presumed that it had been communi cated to Mr. Blease what my testi mony would be. This presumption was confirmed in my own mind by statements of Mr. Blease to me. On the evening of my testimony, whilst Mr. Haynsworth and I were supping together at Wright's Hotel, Mr. Blease, who had been tak ing supper at a table some distance away, stopped at our table for a mo ment, and after expressing his appro val of the position I had taken with reference to testifying, said in effect that he was familiar with all the facta with regard to the employment of the party referred to by me by Mr. Lana han; that he had no apologies to make to anyone for voting to excuse me from giving the name, but that in jus tice to the party referred to he wanted to say that that party had not under stood fully the service expected of him when he accepted the employment, and when ho did learn what was ex pected he declined to serve further, and received less than two hundred dollars for his compensation. I understood the statement of Mr. Blease to be a diplomatic acknowledg ment of his connection with the mat ter, and, as expressed in legal terms, "a plea of confession and avoidance." Mr. Blease now denies that he had any connection wiih Mr. Lanahan. i I may add that I am advised by Mr. Wm. Elliott, of Columbia, who was al so my attorney in the proceedings be fore the supreme court, that Mr. Blease made to him practically the same state- ! ment as made above. In justice to Mr. Blease himself, and in justice to the memory of Mr. Lana han, Mr. Blease is now, it seems to me, called upon to say who was the "high State official" whom Mr. Lana han had employed, as he has acknowl edged full acquaintanceship in the mat ter. Whilst I cannot conceive that I have been mistaken as to statements made to me by Mr. Lanahan, still if there be error in what Mr. Lanahan stated to me, Mr. Blease can clear it, and should do so. Respectfully, LEWIS W. PARKER. Greenville, S. C., Feb. 17th. Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to a Per? sistent Cough. Relief Pound at Last. "For several winters past my wife has been troubled with a most persist ent and disagreeable cough, which in variably extended over a period of sev eral weeks and caused her many sleep less nights," writes Will J. Hayner, editor of The Bulletin, Burley, Colo. "Various remedies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In November last the cough again put in an appearance and my wife, acting on the suggestion of a friend, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The result was indeed marvelous. Af ter three doses the cough entirely dis appeared, and has not manifested itself since. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. Marriage.

The fact that the old-time fiddling holds a sure place in the hearts of all classes of people has received added proof in the success attending several "Fiddlers' Conventions." Mr. Don A mat i Richardson, of Charlotte, has determined upon a new series of such conventions, and will visit the entire South. When asked as to the position of the untrained musician Mr. Richardson eaid: "The old-time fiddlin' is founded on the truth of appreciation which lies in the fac"; that it appeals to 99 people out of 100 by its very unpretentious ness. In other days the fiddle was the life and joy of the whole countryside. That player holds a place which is his own even as the professional, trained and cultured player of the violin does. The boyhood days I spent in North Carolina are as good memories to me because of the old fiddlers with all their musical snatches and melodies. The man and woman who can produce music from a fiddle?and such music it is, too ?whose heart r nters into the work and who is unhampered by the dictates of advanced musical learning and tech nique has always played into the hearts as well as the ears of all listeners. I am going to try to bring to life again these fiddling fingers that have laid aside their fiddles. Their music is a part of our happy South as much ns the folk lore, and any and all of the oddities of our own communities. I .shall be present in person and shall ren der a classical number, in order that the audience may know and appreciate the real difference between the two very distinct schools of playing." Mr. Richardson ia well known for his art all over the country, and has long enjoyed the reputation that allows him kinship with the most renowned and appreciative players everywhere. Cul tured audiences far and near, and the possibly captious critic, have heaped upon him their measures of praise. In his tours Mr. Richardson will' endeavor to collect specimens of the olden fid dles that are to be found among the residents of many communities. Being the possessor of a number of wonder toned violins, which he employs in his professional work, Mr. Richardson would also add _to .these others - home made and unpretentious, but at the same time with that trick of structure or form that lends qualities to the hand and bow of any player.

Nourse, of Clemson Col lege, made a most remarkable address at the recent meeting of the South Carolina Live Stock Association at Columbia. Among other things of in terest to the Southern farmers Dr. Nourse said: "An animal must have for its daily use a certain amount of digestible mat ter, but also it is desirable that it should have certain proportions of pro tein and carbohydrates, that they may be thoroughly nourished and yet no less sustained in way of undigested food passing through them. In order to feed our cattle of this basis we must mix our hays and grains in right pro portions. "Protein-rich foods are the costly ones and for this reason we are fortu nate when we heed not buy them. In this particular the South is to be con gratulated. Cotton seed makes the richest of all our meals, and that is, and will be, available as a cattle food for all time, and without cost of freight added, as must be the case as to North ern points. "Pea hay we note again is rich in protein and an article much relished by stock and easily grown in all sections, so that as a basis for rations for cows or steers we have these two materials of greatest value. "As mentioned at first we must feed certain rations of protein and carbohy drates if we practice economy, and must therefore have other articles to olfer with the cotton seed meal."
