DIAL REPLIES TOTHURMOND Calls Thurnond's Letter a "Tirade" and Says He is in Absolute 1h'rror. Sorry Thurmond Told of Dining with Him. Washington, Aug. 11.-Senator Dial of South Carolina today made public the following reply to a newspaper statement given the South Carolina newspapers a day or two ago by for mor District Attorney 'J. William Thurmond, of Edgefield, which is self explanatory: "I have just read In yesterdays press a tirade of Mr. J. William Thur mond against me. In many of Mr. Thurniond's statements 1he is abso lutely. in error. I do not suppose the public Is very much Interested in this subject, but I will reitqrate its history briefly, as he has mentioned it. "In 1912 and 1918 several of us were candidates for the Senate. Mr. Thur mond was manager of Senator Till .man's campaign both times and or ganized the State against me. When the W9stern District of 1outli Caro lina was established, lie ,was appoint ed district attorney by Senator Till man, whi'h was perfectly natural. After Senator Tillman's death in 19418 I was told that Mr.' Thurmond was speaking good words in my behalf.' "I am sorry Mr. Thurmitond sPeaks of my dining with himi11, for it forces ie to mention the subject. While at the campaign meeting 'in Aiken, Mt. ThIul rmond phoned me to come to Edgefileld ani spend the night with him. For this I thanked him, but Politely declined. After speai.ng at Edgefield, 'Mr. Thu'miiioid invited oenaltor Pollock and me to dine with him, w.;hich we accepted. Tile public can understrnd mily position in this ma."tter. Tur"Ing ('!iristma.-s, 1919, Mlr. Phutr mond asked me to have him rea:npoinat :1. I told him that I had nort (is cussed the matter at all in Washing .ton, but would let him hear very soon1. After' oisuilitatioi and in)vestigating th i.matter here. I informed him that uniler al the circliistances I (tIld not recomimend his reappointment, and that I had recoimmindld another, wlhcrenfter he ani his friends bomli hnarded Imle with pctit.'ons, the pitrpose being evident.

"I hlave never' nmentionedl the fol lowing fact.

Thut'mond tis pivilege. This 110 consIdered a (lay or two, bit finally declined. Mr. Cochran was con firmed, aq I knew him to be a gentle man of !high character and ability. The correspondence on the subject is too long to print, but these letters are dated respectively, July 18 and 20. "It seems that Mr. Thurmond Is very much outraged because I pre ferred to appoint one of the ablest lawyers in th southern state in preference to one who had organized the state twice against me. So -far as his statement Is concerned t-hat my objection. to him was because he %oted for Senator Tiliman, this is sim ply silly. As a .matter of fact, the !ist appointment I made after I was elected was a young man who told me he had been a follower of Senator Tillman. Since .I have been in the senate, I have never asked or 'inquired how anyone voted, but, of course, I have always endeavored to aid my personal friends and su piporters first." e = Ta= * * ... * * S S Enjoying Tar Heel Seenery. 0e e a S S S S * S * * * * * Editor The Advertiser: I always enjoy reading The Adver tiser, but doubly so this week, as I am on a visit to my cousins, 'Mr. and M rs.
