Columbia. Feb. 27.?That there Is
a well defined movement on foot t?>
hav* Cspt John Q HU-hards make
the race for Qovernor ihie year Is
evident from the talk wh'.ch ha* been
heard, and which persists. In spite of
the announcement of Capt. Richards
that he Is going to make the race for
railroad commissioner, the position
h* now holds. Major Richards is not
taking any part In this matter, and
stated this morning In response to an
Inquiry that he had not changed his
satnd, snd that he had se'tled the
asatter by his announcement regard?
ing the Governorship some time ago.
The talk, however, comes from friends
who want to see Major Richards in
hhe race.
Some days ago there were plans on
"""root, so It Is stated, to hold a conven
tl?hr*nd It Is stated that It was to
hare been held In March, to nominate
Major Richards. It will be remem?
bered that Tlllman In 1890 was nomi?
nated for Governor by a March Con?
vention, although this may not have
had anything to do with the plans
which were osJd to have been on fo< t;
still It may have been thought thit
such a convention would create a
good Impression and be "good luck."
Ol course, thia conclusion has to be
drt;wn largely by surmise.
The Idea, evidently, among the sup?
porters of Major Richards, those
wanting him to enter the Gubernator?
ial race, was that the demand would
ha so strong that he would not be able
an resist it. That, more than likely,
the reason why the March Con
itlon was thought of. However, It
Is said th?se plans, at least those for
taw March Convention, have been
temporarily abandoned, but the Idea
ss? getting Major Richards In the race
not b.?en abandoned, so it has
reported on what Is considered
reliable authority.
It la no secret that had Judge Jone*1
?et announced for Governor. Major
Jtlrharda would have beer. In the
rsvce. snd some of his friends nave not
ywt reconciled themselves to his not
rw.nln* AH of which Is very inter?
esting, snd some Indication of the
statement often heard these days,
"There will be several more oaudt
ehshas In the race fcr Qovernor."

l>ld Seeure It?Ills Work Ko
v lowed.
(From a letter to the Yorkville Bn?
qulrer l>y the 'Ion. J. S. Brlce.)
??? If there was one liquor houee
that swindled South Carolina out of
more money than any other during
the reign of the Stato dispensary, it
was ihe Hlchland Distilling Company,
and at the time the Ansel commission
was removed by ??? the present
Governor, this same Felder you speak
of had a suit pending against them
for five hundred thousand dollars,
and they had offered to compromise
this suit for one hundred thousand
dollars in cash. Also it wad Vio inten?
tion of the commission to require any
dispensary official who had taken
money from the State to restore the
same.
Now as a cltiien of South Carolina,
who loves his State and who has serv?
ed his State without asking for any
reward for his services, and knowing
the criminal trials of the dispensary
officials were mere political battles,
had I remained on the commission I
should have certainly attempted to
have bad these parties make restitu?
tion, regardless of whether they wore
ever tried in the Criminal Courts or
not.
From the establishment of the
State dispensary system in July. 1893,
until its abolition In February, 1907,
a period of nearly fourteen years,
there were charges of rebate and
graft made on the hustings, In the
newspapers and on the floor of the
House and Senate In Columbia, but
these charges were always met with
scorn and derision, and even the hon?
est yeomanry of South Carolina at?
tributed them to political prejudices.
The State of South Carolina spent
thousands of dollars through a com?
mittee ppp^'nted on motion cf Cole
L. Hlea'.e Investigating the State dis?
pensary, and while Lyon and Chris?
tensen of that committee did faithful
work, they only succeeded in stirring
ur, some black slime on the surface
of the reeking and rotten dispensary
caldron, and the State dispensary ad
vooat.es, your friend Mease among
them, on the floor of the Senate dared
and defied them to go into the Crim?
inal Courts on any of the evidence
they produced. It Is true, after they
made their report, every honest man
in the State believed the system was
rotten, and acting on this belief the
legislature abolishes the system, but
everybody In South Carolina believed
It was Impossible to ever prove In any
Criminal Court that any one con?
nected with the system was guilty of
fraud and of larceny. But In 1907,
when Thosk B. Felder appeared on
the scene of action and stripped him?
self and went down Into the black
and seething dispensary pit. he came
back with his hands full of positive
Indisputable written evidence of the
guilt of the dispensary officials and of
liquor houses. Felder and Folder
alone produced the evidence that
satisfied everybody, friend and foe. of
the dispensary system that stealing,
and good stealing, 1 ad been going on
to such an extent ?hat It was rcdueed
to a system. Tom Welder Is no saint
and he Is no prohibitionist. He is one
of the attorneys for the Liquor Deal?
ers' Association now, (he was not at
the time he was employed by the
commission), but he is tho man who
furnished the evidence that forever
damned the State dispensary system,
and the people of South Carolina owe
htm a debt of gratitude for his work.

Sooth Carolina, and I know some*

100 STRONG FOR WILEY.

PARTMENT.
Minis TOO Many Incongruous Ele?
ment- In Ills Way?Promises to Ex?
plain All.
Washington! Feb. 28.?Dr. Harvey
\V. Wilt y. purs f<?od champion, is
seriously considering resigning his po-1
sltion as chief of the bureau of chem?
istry in the department of agriculture.
Admitting this in an interview to?
night. Dr. Wiley said that while he
had not yet determined to offer his
resignation, it seemed that he could
not be successful In his efforts to se?
cure harmony as long as there were
"Incongruous elements in tha depart?
ment."
"I have a long time been working,"
said Dr Wiley, "to secure peace. This
can not, however, exist as long as
there are incongruous elements as
now exist in the department. I have
not yet determined to withdraw. I
am hoping for a solution of the diffi?
culties.
"In case of no solution, will you
resign?" he was asked.
"I am not prepared to say now. If
I determine to withdraw, however, I
shall Issue a statement which there
will be no difficulty In understand?
ing."
This statement, it is said would con?
tain a complete review of Dr. Wiley's
work in enforcing the pure food and
drug law, on account of persistent ef?
forts to nullify his activities and
strong criticism of Secretary Wilson
of the agricultural department.
Dr. Wiley said he had recently ex
pressed his views to Secretary Wil?
son.
Secretary Wilson said tonight that
this was "all news to him;" that he
had not seen Dr. Wiley In two weeks.
Dr. Wiley's present attitude fol- I
lows long drawn out and bitter con- j
troversles over the enforcement of '
the pure food and drug act. After
the Wiley-McCabo congressional in?
vestigation last summer, the failure
of the effort to oust the chemist on
technical charges and the reorganiza?
tion of the pure food board so as to
give Dr. Wiley control, it was sup?
posed that the fight was over. Re?
cent events, however, are said to have
convinced the doctor that h?s victory
was empty.
It Is suggested that Dr. Wiley is
contemplating entering politics. Re?
cently some of his friends have sug?
gested him as a candidate for vice
president on the Democratic ticket.

Among my many demonstrators
and co-operators I shall make special
mention of Thos. Capers, of Horatio,
who If about the eldest of them all,
and yet because of his knowledge
about gardening Mr. Tra W. Wil?
liams offered him a special position
to do garden work if he would agree
to leave home, but the old man re?
fused to leave his family with whom
he had lived more than forty years.
He raises cabbage plants for the
market, and made more cotton and
corn last year than ever before.

ter and one mule.
Many of my farmers Insist <>n plant?
ing at a certain time of the moon,
and 1 have been asked many times
while lecturing on agriculture. "What
ttme of the moon is best to plant?"
My reply Is always thai I never in?
struct farmers to plant In the moon,
but prepare well the *oii upon the
earth and plant any day during
planting season except on Sunday.
The last talk i had concerning the
moon and planting was with a mem?

Washington, Feb. 27.?Telegraphic
pledges <>f support from nine Re?
publican Governor! were given out
here tonight from the campaign head,
quarters of President Taft.
The executives going on record In
favor of the President's renomtnation
were. Eherhart, Minnesota; Carroll.
Iowa; Hay. Washington; Ooldsbor
ough, Maryland; Tener, Pennsylvan?
ia; Hooper. Tennessee; Spry, Ctah;

In addition to the signed state?
ments made public, the Taft mana?
gers clair. ed the support of Gover?
nor Deneen, Illinois; Odie, Nevada,
and Mead, Vermont.
The announcement from the Taft
bureau is taken as an answer to the
Chicago conference of seven Gov?
ernors upon whose solicitation Col.
Roosevelt bastd his formal entry to
the Presidential contest.
Twenty-two States now have re?
ported Governors and all except two
are now accounted for in the various
statements of preference. They are
listed as follows:
reo'ared for Taft, 9.
Claimed by Taft managers, 3.
Declared for Roosevelt, 7.
Declared for L,aFollette, 1.
Preference not announced, 2.
The Governors who have declared
for Roosevelt are: Glasscock, West
Virginia; Aldrich, Nebraska; Rass,
New Hampshire. Osborne, Michigan;
Slubbs, Kansas; Hadley, Missouri, and
Johnson, of California.
Governor Carey, of Wyoming, also
signed the "Governors* letters"
urging Roosevelt to become a can?
didate, but it is now declared that he
has r^erved judgment. Neither has
Governor Vessey, of South Dakota,
announce! his choice. The California
executive did not sign the letter, but
has since declared for the former
President. Go-.ernor McGovern, of
Wisconsin, is committed to the can?
didacy of Senator LaFollette.
The nine Governors who have come
out for President Taft all take the
position that his record entitles him
to renomtnation and election.
WM. BARNES CALIaS ON TAFT.
New York Republican Iveader May
Manage Taft Campaign In Empire
State.
Washington, Feb. 27.?Unannounc?
ed in Republican political circles, and
apparently unexpected at the Whlto
House, where he dined with Presi?
dent Taft and Secretary Hillei, Wil?
liam Barnes, Jr., of Albany, chair?
man of the New York State Republi?
can committee, came to Washington
tonight. His appearance gave rise to
all sorts of rumors, but the one which
was given greatest credence was that
he would take direct management of
President Tail's candidacy in New
York State.
Before going to the White House,
Mr. Barnes gave to the Associated
Press a statement assailing the recent
speech made at Columbus, Ohio, by
Col. Roosevelt. He made a point of
the fact that the statement was issued
in advance of any talk wdth the Pres?
ident. He characterized the Roose?
velt speech as a "preface to a candi
daey" and "a violation of Republi?
canism." He stated that if he were
one who could subscribe to the doc?
trine expounded he ' would feel that
Iiis feet were on slippery jxroi nd."
While Mr. Barnes did not name
President Taft or mention his candi?
dacy in any way, bis meaning could
not lie misconstrued when he pointed
out that each New York district
would elect Republican delegates by
the primary system on March 16 and
delegates at large to the state Con?
vention on Aprlly 9, and predicted
"that the best Judgment of nearly
one-half million of enrolled Republi?
cans would be expressed."
The conference between the Pros
dent. Mr. Barnes and Secretary Hilles
lasted until a very late hour, ami no
announcement was made Of the mat?
ter discussed,
Among those who learned of Mr. j
Barnes' Views, and who claimed to
be familiar with his probable pur
pose, it was stated that he undoubt?
edly bad urged tin- President to in?
sist upon a very strong platform, in?
