To the Editor OF the Times, Union,
5. q. Dear Sir: | regret very much
that you are under a wrong impression
as to my being an aspirant for the ex-
ecutive office of the State, and will
thank you to make this correction.
Some years ago, if opportunity had
offered, I would have liked to have
been Governor and felt then that |
could be useful to the people of South
Carolina. Since that time, many years
ago, great changes have occurred. |
am now advanced in life and, as I
think, beyond the age of usefulness in
so onerous and exacting an office, and
do not wish It..
Even IL this were not so-since by
statute the office has been sunk to the
low level of chief liquor constable of
the State-there must be distinct dis.
pensary smell about the place and
these duties must be exceedingly disa-
greeable.
''Take but degree away-untune that
string!"
No; don't desire that office, and NAV
add, any other In Or out Of the State.
Very respectfully,
Vim Co,rtnou

TO FEDERAL CONTROL
Rock Island Naval Reserves to Vote
on Important Question at

The Naval Reserves of the city will
meet this evening to consider the
contents of letter which Lieut..
Tubbs has from Capt. Allen, com
mander of the y. NJ. l.. requesting
the sentiment of the local men in re-
gard to passing under government in
stead of state control.
The state is not properly fitted TO
look after the reserves and the inter
est in this branch is bound to lag in
time of peace. The control of the
government would guarantee better
equipment and more extended out
ings annually.
This move is ageneral one through
out the country and is understood to
be favored by President Roosevelt as
Il part of his scheme for the recon-
struction of the navy. y bill is being
framed to be brought before the next
session of congress to provide for n
change of the sort indicated.

TO RESCUE OF CHURCH
Congregations of the City Join Hands
to Lift Second Baptist In
debtedncss.

The meeting yesterday afternoon
at the Second Baptist (coIored)
church called to arrange, if possible.
for the saving of the church property
from falling into the hands of credi-
tors, was largely attended one and
plan was devised which il is
thought will solve the difficulty.
Besides the congregation of the
Second Baptist church there were
present representatives of nearly
every evangelical church i'm the city.
Rev. G.. Il. Simons, of the First Bap-
fist church of this city, was mode
rator and the sermon of the after
noon was delivered by Rev. Il. c.
Bryant. of Moline. There were also
addresses by number of others, and
n. ID. BIakemore, who was the sec
rotary of the old advisory committee
that had charge of the affairs of the
church in the first place, explained
the financial condition of the insti-
tuition. From his experience he de
clared that it would be necessary for
committee of outsiders to assume
the burden of lifting the indebted
ness and upon his recommendation
the old plan of appointing an advis-
ory committee from the different
churches of the city was revived. +.
ID. Sweeney was made chairman of
this committee and the other MEM
bers appointed were Judge Gest,
from the Central Presbyterian
church: Capt. y. NJ. Blakesley, from
the Broadway church; j. w. WEIGH,
from the First Baptist; John Weiss,
from the Christians; and l.. w.
Schoedc. from the German Lutheran.
The members appointed were author
lied to appoint other members from
the churches not represented. The
congregation of the Second Baptist
church unanimously voted to place
the title for the church property in
the hands of the committee. \ meet
ing will be held shortly when some
plan will he promulgated by which
il is reasonably certain the creditors
of the church will be satisfied.
The Second baptist church is To-
Gated on the corner of Sixth avenue
and Tenth street and the building
and site arc worth about $4,000. 1t
has been sold to pay some of the con-
tractors who did work upon it and
the time for its redemption will eX-
pire Dec. Is. The indebtedness out
standing is about $1,000. The sum of
$500 has been saved up by the congre-
cation. which is strong one, num-
boring a members. About 800 was
raised yesterday by contribution.

Avenue Sea of Humanity.

Second avenue between Sixteenth
and Eighteenth streets presented a
| lively scene for over half an hour
/ Saturday evening while every eve
was looking and every tongue was
asking for the one with The Argus
| tickets. Nearly every member of the
crowd that Dned the avenue carried,
in some easily accessible place, Il
copy of the paper. as required in or
der to fulfill the terms of the plan in
case they were SO fortunate as TO
encounter the proper person:
Some of those on the hunt were
diflident and contented themselves
with scanning passing faces for some
sign by which they hoped to discover
the bearer Of the two pieces of paste
board emitting the holders to seat
at the opening performance in the
new Illinois theatre, and others ask
cd only friends and acquaintance.
The greater number, however, stood
upon no formalitics, but asked the
question early and often, realizing
that the one who asked the greatest
number of persons in the proper
manner was the most liable to be
successful in contest where all had
equal chance.
Crowds in Front of Argus OGice.
Some were possessed of the idea
that the bearer of the tickets would
leave The Argus Office about the APP
pointed time and the result was n
crowd of particular density in front
of the office, all intent upon asking
the question first to each and every
one who emerged from the door. On
every corner there were groups who
Intercepted almost every passer and
it was from one of these that the
lucky person, Mrs. w. +. Hayes,
emerged to put the query to pre-
occupied appearing gentleman-E. III.
Wcy, steward of the Rock Island
Club-who was passing her on the
south side of Second avenue between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets.
To her great surprise the gentleman
stopped, and seeming to consider the
question serious one, and after as
surfing himself that the paper she
held in her hand bore the proper
headline. turned, and without vouch-
safing an oral answer to her ques-
ton. requested Mrs. Hayes and her
companions to accompany him. The
ladies afterward admitted that they
were just trifie embarrassed at this
iuncture and i'm some doubt whether
to follow or not. They were not long
in deciding to do so. however. and
were escorted to The Argus office,
where the tickets were turned over
to Mrs. Hayes.
