H, EPPER84 >N. Sheriff Surnt. r Count) LIKES SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY. TAFT RESENTS CRITICISM IN LETTER TO TAWXEY. President Expresses Himself as "Deep* l> Grieved" Over Phase Taken In Discussion of Traveling Expense Matter In IIoujm?Suggested Reflec? tion on Southern Hospitality "Espe elally Distressing"? Representative Tawney l>s;ics Explanatory state? ment. Washington, May 27.?"In all my experience, and I have enjoyed the hospitality ?>f many sections ami coun? tries of the world, I never had a more Cordial, generous, open and lavish welcome than I had in the Southern States during my trip, and the slight? est hint that puts me in the attitude of a critic of that hospitality gives me great pain." This, in part, is the manner in which President Taft today, in a letter to Chairman Taft today, in a letter to Chairman Tawney of the house com? mittee on appropriations, deeply re? sented criticisms passed by Democrats in the debate in the house yesterday upon the traveling expenses of the President. The President says he is specially distresssed by "suggested re tlection on Southern hospitality." President Taft's letter continues: "I am deeply grived over the phase which the discussion of the appropri? ation for traveling expenses of the President took yesterday. I think it is a legitimate argument in favor of such an appropriation that Congress? men and many others press the ac? ceptance of invitations to v'sit their sections and districts, because the urgency of such requests indicates the opinion, on the part of the people, that one of the duties of the Presi? dent is to visit the people in their homes. "But the intimation or suggestion that the acceptance by Congressmen of the President's invitation to travel on the train with him in their re? spective districts or States was a rea? son why they should not vote their free opinion on the question of such n appropriation is to me a most ?ainful one. In traveling upon the train they were not receiving my hos? pitality?they were only making a iittle more elaborate the cordial wel? come which they, as representatives of their districts, wished to give. "The feature of the discussion yes ' distress was reflection i n Southern ti ?spitality Trie intima? tion thai Botnewher< .he South .i . foundation, in fact, and I never heard It intimated until I saw it in this morning's pa? pers." Following the receipt of President Taft's letter, Representative Tawney issued a statement, saying: "It If ridiculous to suppose that I would reflect privately, much less publloly, upon the floor of the House of Representatives, upon Southern hospitality, which is proverbial and than which?as I can say from exper? ience?there is nothing more cordial or more generous to be imagined. But I agree with the statement of Presi? dent Taft in his letter to me today, that it is a legitimate argument in favor of such an appropriation that Congressmen and many others press the acceptance of invitations to visit their sections and districts because the urgency of such requests indicates the opinion on the part of the peo ipe that one of the duties of the Pres? ident is to visit the people in their homer. "I had spoken of a man who would ask the President to be his guest, en? tertain him and then criticse him ?OtT making the visit, as in effect chargir? him board.' Mr. Bartlett, of Geor? gia, evidently misunderstanding my remark, then demanded to know of a single instance where the President was charged board, and Representa? tive Ilamer, of Idaho, before I could reply, injected the facetious comment that he thought it was in Georgia. "Of course, the President was nev? er charged for his board when the guest <?f any one in Georgia, or any? where and no such allegation was made."

Voting Points Not Reached?Just Be? fore Coming to Decision Bod) Bo solves t > Take More Time m Con? sidering Aim nded Bill. Washington, M; y 27,?At the last moim at i * fore reaching the point of voting upon the railroad I ill today, the senate took the Important step of idding an amendment, placing Inter? state telegraph and I '< phone lines under the supervision of the Inter? state commerce commission. This Lctlon was followed by an effort to restore a portion of section 11, affect? ing mergers, which heretofore was oted out. Both provisions were introduced wo suddenly as to surprise the senate, and the latter was considered so im? portant that rather than vote upon it without more consideration than it vas able to give, the senate took an adjournment until tomorrow. The action of the seaate on tele? graph and telephone companies in? ures their inclusion in some form in the proposed law as the subject is of? fered in the house bill. The sugges? tion for the inclusion of telegraph and telephone companies within the ontrol of the Interstate commerce c mr. itssion was made bv Senator ;>ix?.n (Mont.,), but his amendment a as svpplanted by one hi simpler form which was offered by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin. The senate had reached the voting stage at 4 o'clock after an animated debate which was carried on largely by Democrats and which dealt espe? cially with the question as to wheth? er the Dolliver amendment regulat? ing the stock and bond issues of rail? roads was in accordance with the last Democratic platform. It hac" beeen supposed that action upon the Dolliver provision would be followed by votes upon the physical valuation amendment offered by Mr LaVoHette and the national incor? poration amendment of Senator New lands. When, therefore, Mr. Dixon was recognized to present his tele? graph amendment some surprise was manifested. The exact languague of the telegraph provision is carried by the house bill, and it purported to re-enact the first section of the pres? ent interstate commerce law with tele? graph and telephone companies ad ded. It covers nine full pages and much disapprobation against vot? ing upon It without an opportunity for examination was expressed. While the discussion and the vot? ing on a motion to table were In progress Senator LaFollette prepared an amendment which was in form so simple and direct that senators could have no difficulty in comprehending it. Mr. Dixon indicated a willingness to accept this provision in place of his own, and it went through without even a discusssion. The provision as adopted is as follows: "That telegraph and telephone companies (except wireless) transact? ing an interstate business are hereby placed under the supervision and con? trol of the interstate commerce com? mission subject to the provisions of an act to regulate commerce approv? ed February, 1887, which are appli? cable thereto." The exception of wireless was made at the suggestion of Senator Heyburn. rI AI. k ED TOO MUCH ALREADY But lie S?ys He Has More Talk In Cold Storage. Editor Daily Item: Just a few lines to say that I deny that I ever tried to influence Mayor Jennings in his appointment of mem? bers of the Board of Health or tried to dictate to him how to run his olfiee as Mayor. ITe voluntarily tol.l me that he was going to appoint * ujW Board of Health because the present beard was illegal as the former May? or W. J. Boyle had never designated theli terms i f office. I did say to Mr. Jennings that before ho did any? thing about ousting the old board be? cause of their tenure of office not be? ing designated that I would like to talk with him about the matters as l knew something about the tenure of offices not being on the record, He replied that he was much obliged) but that he had Investigated and the record did not show any designation so the present board was not a legal hoard. That is all that passed be? tween us. What l desired to tell him was just what ex-Mayor ?oyle t<?1? 1 him and Which information ho re? ceived from Mr. Boyle was what Mr. Boyle bad formerly told me. It now appears that had Mr. .Jennings list? ened to me about o matter which Mr, Boyle and the Board of Health made him listen to, that I could have Baved him the humiliation of admitting th it In the wrong. I tried to help ii to get at the facts und he Imme? diately Jumps to the conclusion that l tried t ? show him how to run his of lb e. I never spoke to Mr. Jennings, as Mavor, before or since that conver? sation and l don't see bow he can accuse me of annoying him so much and trying to dictate to him all bc cauae of about one minute's conversa? tion which he brought up himself. "Evil unto him who evil thinketh," the admonition, together with a lot of Cn e religious or spiritual advice he \ lianded out to me will apply to his ! case, also, l accepted his spiritual admonitions in the spirit In which they were tendered, but if his spirit? ual advice is of no more value than bis legal opinions, one of which he accepted from himself when he decid? ed the Board of Health was not a le gal board, then I have not gained much after all by his long letter re- i plete with insulting and unjust accu? sations, and I think I will give him a little legal advice which he seems bad? ly in need of, and that is, whenever he i is in need of legal advice hereafter to go to the City Attorney, because he j must certainly, by now, be remmded of the old adage, "that a man who j acts as his own legal adviser has a fool for a client, and a damned poor lawyer." I have no ill feeling towards Mr. Jennings, but I want to keep the rec cid sii'aifoht, and see if he sriil admit that I have not tried to do what he has accused me of. I must also make some concessions at the proper time. I can not, for good reasons enter at this time into a lengthy controversy in the papers unless the issue is forc? ed upon me, but I am prepared for war at a moment's notice. I have my more complete reply in cold stor? age, and the public will hear from me later. E. I. REARDON. Sumter, S. C, May 28, 1910. Rev. S. O. Cantcy 111. Batesburg, May 27.?Rev. S. O.
