Is 1t Only a Bluff?

A. G. QUITS was asked by a reporter
today whether he had any statement
for the public he wished published.

and that it would be long; but until
he gave it out to the press he de-
clined intimating even what its con-
tents will be. Mr.. QUITS promises
some hot stuff, served up from data

The Governor and the Newsboys.
Columbia State: A good story about
Governor McSweeney's visit to New
York recently which has so far es-
capped the newspapers has leaked out
in the last few days, and it serves to
show the manner of man South Caro-
lina's small -statured governor is. The
accident occurred on the day before
the naval parade. The governor, ac'
companied by his little son and Colo
nels Wilson, Folk, Redding, Mauldln
and Watson, of his staff, had just lett
the Cotton Exchange and had reached
"Newspaper Row." bound for the
bridge to 60 over to the navy yard,
when Just at the Pulitzer building cor.
ner they came across a great crowd OF
newsboys of the "cent-a World" varl-
ETY., getting their supplies OF the Olg
afternoon editions just issued. The
governor saw the crowd OF urchlns.
He exclaimed, "Ah that is what l
was once. Just look at them. Miles,
come here, my son. | want to show
you what your father was when ne
was YOUR size" Reaching back and
catching his boys hand, it was onl y a
second or two before the governor had
forced his way into the crowd OF yell,
ing, scufIling newsboys. He talked
with them and when they found out
who he was and that he had once been
of the "clan," they rallied round him,
and the governors face was all smiles.
He bought as many papers as he could
carry, and Colonel Folk, who got
down into the crowd did likewise.
The boys gave the governor an ova-
ton in their own demonstrative way,
