THE MONKEY’S VIEWPOINT Author Unknown Three monkeys sat in' a cocoanut tree, Discussing things a s they’re to be. Said one to the others, “Now listen, you two, There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true; That man descended from our noble race; The very idea is a disgrace. “No money ever deserted his wife, Starved her babies and ruined her life, And you’ve never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk; Or pass them on from one to another Till they scarcely know who is their mother. “And another thing you’ll never see; A monk build a fence around a co coanut tree And let the cocoanuts go to waste, Forbidding all other monks to taste. Why if I’d put a fence around a tree Starvation would force you to steal from me. “Here’s another thing a monk won’t do, Go out at n*Kht and get on a stew; Or use a gun, a club or knife, To take some monkey’s life.

Brown, Blatt Assail Claims By Thurmond Barnwell, July 8.—In press state ments tonight Barnwell county’s two members of the general assem bly contradicted accounts by guber natorial candidate J. Strom Thur mond of Edgefield of a visit he made to Barnwell last December. Senator Edg ir A. Brow n of Barn well termned “tissues of falsehoods” Thurmond’s account of the visit and Speaker of the House Sol Blatt, also of Barnwell, said if Thurmond knew of “one dishonest act” of Blatt’s, it was Thurmond's duty to disclose it. Thurmond in a letter to Marcus A Stone, another candidate for governor, had recounted being asked into Brown's office and into Blatt’s home while visiting Barnwell. Brown Denies Claim * At that time, Thurmond told Stone, Brown had broached the sub ject of Thurmond’s possible candi dacy for governor and had said he could not support Thurmond be cause he was obligated to Governor Williams, also a candidate now. Thurmond made theee assertions in reply to statements from Brown and Blatt in letters to Stone, that Thurmond had sought them out and asked their political support. The letters asked Stone to with draw from a proposed debate with Thurmond on what the Edgefield attorney has termed “the Barnwell ring,” and Stone withdrew from the debate. Saying, “I am not going to give Mr. Thurmond any .more publicity by noticing him,” Brown issued this lengthy statement: “I have read Mr. Thurmond’s let ter to Mr. Stone, published in the morning papers. “In order to keep the record straight, and for that purpose only, I here state some pertinent facts in regard to Mr. Thurmond’s effort to obtain my support in his race for governor. “In the first place I cannot deal with a man who has absolutely no regard for the truth. “Mr. Thurmond’s admission, which he was forced to make because too many people knew that he was in Barnwell, that he came to Barn well and visited Mr. Blatt and my self, is the only part of his state ment which hears a semblance of truth. Let us see. In Office Next Morning “Mr. Thurmond had never visited my office in his life. He picked out a cold, bleak, icy night to come to Barnwell and to go to the Barn well hotel, buy his supper and ge<t a room for the night. The next morning he was in my office and when I came jn about 9':30. He was engaged in conference with Mr. Julien Bush, who has an adjoining law office to mine. “Mr. Bush tells me, and he is one of the most reputable men in the state, that Mr. Thurmond had spent at least 45 minutes with him in dis cussing campaign plans, had asked Mr. Bush’s support and told him that he wanted to enlist my active support in his race for governor. “When I arrived at the office there was no question about what Mr. Thurmond wanted. He was making political contacts and he came into my office through an open door and engaged me in an hour’s harrangue over why I should support him. “The slur in his recent statement on Governor Williams is utter non sense. At that time there was no talk that Governor Williams would run. »■ (In his letter to Stone Thurmond quoted Brown as referring to Wil liams as a “nincompoop.”) Refers To 111 Health “At any rate I told Mr. Thurmond what I said in my letter to Mr. Stone, that I did not know who was going to run and that I could not commit myself to him or anyone else and in feet on account of my ill health I could not actively sup port anybody and that I would probably be away during most of the summer. “When our conference had ended, and Mr. Thurmond was leaving, there was a number of people in my outer office. To all of these, I introduced him as a candidate for governor and by his remarks you would have thought that I was his oldest and best friend. “Jn fact, a number 0 f those peo ple got the impression that I was actively supporting his candidacy. “I am not going to give Mr. Thur mond any more publicity by no ticing him. “I am not a candidate for gov ernor, I have no chance to reply to any scurrilous stafements which he may make on the stump or other wise. “I might say jn conclusion that this campaign is not without some reward. It at least accomplished the removal of Mr. Thurmond from the bench of South Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas O. Stewart have as their guests their daughter, Dr. Clara Stewart of New York City who is spending a month here; M rs - Louis B.
