HMVEY-WILSON LEITERS. CORRESPONDENCE TO WHICH COL. WATTEJISON KU'lli RED. CoL Harvey was Never Very Deeply Offended at Governor's Course. Say* There la No Personal Rancor ?"I Have Not one Word of Oriti eism of You," Says Editor?Corres? pondence Between Ttiesa Publish ed by New York Paper With Con? sent of Both. New York, Jan. 3?.?The New York Evening Post has sought, f >r the sake of justice to all concerned, to secure the publication of the cor? respondence between Gov. Wilson and Col. Harvey. In that senao it applied to them both. Neither wished to be put in the po? sition of giving out private letters, but both assented to the publication with the distinct understanding that the initiative came from The Even? ing Post. The first letter, dated December 21, addressed to Col. Harvey by Gov. Wilson, is as follows: "My Dear Colonel: Every day I am confirmed in the judgment that my mind is a one-track road, and can run only one train of thought at a time. A long time after that inter? view with you and Marse Henry tit the Manhattan club it came over me that when, at the close of the inter? view you asked me that question about The Weekly, I answered it Bimply as a matter of fact and of business, and said never a word of my sincere gratitude to you for all your generous support, or of my hope that It might be continued. For gx t- me and forget my manners. In reply Col., Harvey wrote to Gov. Wilson as follows: "My Dear Governor Wilson: Re? plying to your note, I think it should go without saying that no purely per? sonal issue could arise between you and me. Whatever anybody else may surmise, you surely must know that, in trying to atouse and further your rolitical aspirations during the past few years, I have been actuated solely by the belief that I was rend? ering a distinct public service. "The real point at Um ti ? of our interview wan, a* you ap! put it. | one simply 'of fnot and of usin< and when you Me'ed the t * that my support w?u> au*t*ug you: candidacy and that you were experi? encing difficulty in finding a way to counteract Its harmful effect, the only thing possible for me to do, in simple fairness to you no less than in con? sideration of my own self-respect, was to relieve you of your embarrass? ment so far as it lay within my pow? er to do so, by ceasing to advocate your nomination. "That, I think, was fully under? stood between us at the time, and acting accordingly I t ok down your name from the head of The Weekly's editorial page some days before your Igttas was written. That seems to be all there is of it. "Whatever littlo hurt I may tgave ' felt as a consequence of the unex? pected peremptoriousness of your at? titude toward rne is of course wholly eliminated by your gracious words. Gov. WMlson replied under date of January 11 as follows: "My Dear Col. Harvey: Generous and cordial as was your letter written in reply to my note, it has left me uneasy, because, in its perfect frank? ness, it shows that I did hurt you by what I so tactlessly said. I am very much ashamed of myself, for there is nothing 1 am rrore ashamed of thaa hurting a true friend, howev? er aaintentional the hurt may have been. i treated very much to see you iri Washington, but was absolute? ly captured by callers every minute 1 was in my rooms, and when I was not there, was fulfilling public en gagt ments. I saw you at the dime ;, but could not get at you. and after the dinner was surrounded and pre? vent- i from getting at you. 1 am in tow i today, to speak this evening, and came in early in the hope of Oatehtag you at your office. "For 1 OWe it to y?>u and to my own thought and feeling to tell you how grateful I am for all your gen? erous praise and support of me (00 one has described me more nearly as l would like to believe myself to be. than you have), how I have ad? mired you for the Independence and unhesitating COUrsgS and individual? ity of your I ours. . and how far I was from deelring that you should cease "out support of me In The Weekl) "ii will think me very stupid, but I did not think of that as the result of my blunt answer to your question, i thought only of the means of convincing people of the real independence of The Weekly's position. You will remember that wSS whht 1 -.cussed. And now that I have i t lonally put you In a false ar irra-slr^ position, you "Faithfully yours. ""Woodrow Wilson." "Very truly, yours, "George Harvey." heap coals of fire on my head by continuing to give out interviews favorable to my candidacy. All that I can say is, that you have proved yourself very big, and that I wish I might have an early opportunity to tell you face to face how I really felt about it all. "With warm regards, cordially and faithfully, yours, "Woodrow Wilson." Col. Harvey's reply was as follows: "January 16, 1912. "My Dear Governor Wilson: Thank you sincerely for your most hand? some letter. I can only repeat what I said before: That there Is no parti? cle of personal rancor or resentment left in me. I beg you to believe that I have not said one word to anybody of criticism of you. "I have to print a word of explana? tion to The Weekly's readers, but it will be the briefest possible. "Very truly, yours, "George Harvey." WORK GOING AHEAD. Mr. Anderson and Col. Watson to Leave on Trip Through South. Mr. Neill O'Donnell, County Chair? man under the Rock Hill Plan for the reduction of cotton acreage, Wednesday received the following let- ! ter from Mr. J. G.

I Mr. Anderson's letter and Mr. O'Donnell's reply are as follows: Rock Hill. Jan. 30, 1912.

Feb. 4. ?Look unto Ue ami be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth; for I am God and there it none i elie."?I*aiah rlv, M. CODA Y S STUDY relate* to the Wise Men of the Fast and their seeing of a wonderful star which, as astrologers, they recognized to import a great event. At the tin. - Palestine was a province of the Konan Kmpire, and Its King. Herod, was not a .Jew of ihe House of Jacob, but a representative of the house of Esau. Herod sought to perpetuate his dynasty, and hence the announcement of the shepherds ihar h great King of the Jews had Just oeen born suggested the over? throw of the Herodian dynasty and the establishment on Israel's throne of a king In the line of David. Herod's disquietude is easily under' stood, but the fact that the people of Jerusalem in general should be^Viis turbed by the an? nunciation of a king of their own a w a k e u s thought. Uuder the Komans they were experienc? ing great prosper ity. Herod, the E d o m 11 e. had built them a tem? ple the grandeur of which out? shone that Of Sol -There came vise men Ollion. Evidently from the East." the people were feeling so satisfied with their attainments that they bad ceased to specially long for and pray for the coming of the Messiah. A very similar condition of things may l>e expected in conjunction with the second advent of Christ. The powers that be today are styled Christ's Kingdom. "Christendom." but they are really ?'kingdoms of this world." Any announcement toda.\ that Messiah's Kingdom is nigh that He will soon take unto Himself*" Ills great power and reign (Revelation xi. 17) meets with resentment. If in surprise we ask why this in? difference respecting the fulfilment of our prayer. "Thy Kingdom come," the answer Is. "Let well enough alone: do not agitate that subject: it may bring in strife and contention, because many are prospering so well under the rn?<rr. 'Prtnw of this world' that thej mold not look upon n change as likely to bring any Improvement In th? ir ( 1 edition?Indeed 1 me ' rhem have reason to fear that Me stall's Kingdom would seriously disturb the-: entrenched privileges and monopolistic control of the wonderful blessings of our day." Priestly Indifference on the Subject. Although King Herod called the priests and teachers of his da^ to Inquire particularly respecting the prophecies of Messiah's birth, and al? though they an? swered him cor? rectly, neverthe? less, the records show no Joy. no enthusiasm, on the part of the religious teachers In respect to the prophetic fulfil? ment which they had professed to trust In and to long for. None of them followed to Bethlehem to find the new born King of the Jews. They had become Higher Critics and no longer believed the prophecies. And do we not find an antitype in this day? Are not the chief priests and religious lenders today generally so out of harmony with the Divine promises and so faithless as respects the glorious Messianic Kingdom of which the Hible tells, that they are ashamed to identify themselves in any degree with those who seek the Lord and wait for His Kingdom? Alas! even the Mohammedans and Brahmins of the Fast are waiting for Messiah and the Golden Age and dls |?osed to seek the evidences -but amongst the most prominent ministers of "Christendom" there is apparent unbelief, Higher criticism. Evolution snd general opposition to Messiah and His Kingdom. Let the civil govern Dent fight down If it chooses every? thing associated with the New Ids ponsation; these are quite indifferent: they have plans and schemes of their own by which they are hoping to ac Compllah the work predicted for Mes? siah. Alas for them! how clearly they sre mistaken! It has required nil this Gospel Age for the selecting of the Spiritual Seed With Its completion a Now Age will be Inaugurated. Then the earthly blessings promised will be fulfilled to the natural seed of Abraham. "They shall build house* and Inhabit them: they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof;" "the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall fill the whole earth;" to Him "every knee will bow and every tongue confess." for all who refuse shall be destroyed in the Sec OUd Death (Isaiah llV, 21; llabak kuk II, 11; Romans ilv, 11 > Inning the ttexl Age He will be crowned Lord of all by natural Israel, ami all other nationalities will enjoy the privilege "f becoming proselyte children ?>f Abraham, in the flesh Messiah will reign in His Mediatorial Kingdom for the very purpose of bringing these blessings tn natural Israel and through her to all nations. and Myrrh." Mr. J. I?. Deas, of Summerton, was in the city Tuesday. NO INQUEST OVER JOHNNY MACK. Wife Ask* That Inquest Re Held but Coroner Thinks It Is Useless. j A request was mnde Monday that i Coroner Flowers hold an inquest over j the body of Johnny Maek a negro j who died last Friday soon after he J was taken to the county poor house. It seems that Mack took in a lit? tle too much whiskey last Thursday night and as a result went to sleep in the restaurant run by Rees James, the well known blind tiger. He was found in, the place late at night and was arrested and lodged in the guard house. Thvj next morning he com? plained of being sick when he was turned out, so he was sent around to his wife's house, where he was re? fused admittance, he and his wife having separated some time ago. He - v. as taken back up street, then on to the court house where, upon request from the hack man having him in charge, he was granted admittance , to the poor house. He was sent on out to that place, and died shortly :fter re-ching there. The county physician stated that his death was due t?? natural causes and his body eras taken the next day by some of his peo] ' ? and buried. Xow comes a roquest from his wife, who had refused to let him c?me into her hou3e when he was too sick to care for himself, to have an inquest over his body, as she thought that he had been poisoned, he having had a fuss some time re? cently with the man who occupied I the room with him. Coroner Flow era refused to hold the inquest after 1 consulting ,the county physician and it is probable that no inquest will be hold. ACT QUICKLY. Delay Has Been Dangerous in Sum. tor.
