NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The New Law Is Not Drastic In Its
Requirements.

Requirements.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the intent Of the Dick
BILL" said Adjt. Gen. Jno. D. Frost yes
terday, land I have thought 1t advis-
able to issue a statement for the ben
eft of the militia companies in the
state. The object of the Dick law Is
to secure uniformity in the equipment
and training and discipline of the mi
litia, with the regular army as the
standard. This law as it now stands
was passed by congress. receiving the
support of all the southern represen-
tatives and senators. 1t Is not harsh
or drastic In it's requirements. The
principal features Of the Dick law are
that it provides the ways and means
Of securing the uniforms, equipment,
training and discipline and gives five
wears as a limit to reach the standard
given.
We desire to emphasize first. that
there are to be no revolutionary
changes.
"Second. That the inspections to be
made by Colonel Morris are with ref
erence to the standard Of South Caro-
lina's requirements under the South
Carolina law.
Third. That there is to be no mus
tering into active service unless the
president should at some time order
out the militia under section 4, the
same law that has been in force and
effect since 1892.
Fourth. That the militia has five
years to comply with the provisions Of
this bill. AS regards organization, ar
mament. equipment. etc., the state Of
the militia will not be materially
changed. The state will control the
as provided for in section 4. The op-
portunity for greater efficiency i'm the
service is offered."-Columbia State,

Says a Washington dispatch Of
Thursday: Postmaster General Payne
today admitted for the first time that
he knew charges had been filed with
President Roosevelt against First As
sistant Postmaster General Wynne.
Mr.. Payne said that these charges had
not been brought to his attention Of
ficially, and so far as he knew their
present status rested on a question Of
veracity between Senator Latimer OF
South Carolina, who brought the
charges, and Mr.. Wynne, who denied
them. 1t is known that sometime ago
Senator Latimer went to see Mr..
Wynne and asked him to secure
place in the free delivery division for
a woman friend. According to Sena-
tor Latimer, Mr.. Wynne responded
that the free delivery division was al
ready full Of "Congressmen's women"
and that he could not grant the re-
quest Then Senator Latimer says he
shook his fist under Mr.. Wynne's nose
and demanded and secured an apology.
Not content with this, however, he
called on President Roosevelt and fl
ed several charges against Mr.. Wynne,
alleging personal and moral unfitness
for office Mr.. Wynne was called to
the White House and denied to the
president that he and Senator Lati-
mer had had any such conversation
as was alleged. The president took no
action in the matter and the indica-
tions are that he was satisfied with
Mr.. Wynne's explanation. Senator
Latimer is known to have declared,
however, that he would spare no ef-
forts to secure the removal Of Mr.
Wynne. Mr.. Payne said today: mo
charges have been filed with me
against Mr.. Wynne, but I knew that
Senator Latimer had gone to see the
president, and supposed, as no action
was taken, that Mr.. Wynne's explain
alton was satisfactory. AS under
stand 1t, the whole matter was ques-
tion Of veracity between Senator Lat
inner and Mr.. Wynne, and, was alto
gether a most unfortunate affair. 1t
has not been brought to my attention,
however, through official channels,
and is rather in the nature Of a per-
sonal dispute"

And explain WHY the Mutual Bene-

scores Of the best men in the Unltea
States, and especially citizens OF North
and South Carolina and York County,
I am sure you would be convinced.
Don't YOU think 1t Is to your interest
to investigate and satisfy yourself as
to whether my claims are true! II
YOU wished to purchase real estate
and knew of several different tracts
that were for sale, would you shut
your ewes and buy one Of them on
hand. without ascertaining whether or
not it was superior from every stand
point to all the others, or would you
examine each piece Of property care
fully and then buy the piece best suit
ed to YOUR needs? Most people buy
life insurance off-hand, and I meet
people frequently who, after they
learn Of the Mutual Benefits contracts
and their low cost as compared WIN
the high priced, vague, complicated
ones they have bought, tell me that
they are very sorry that they leaped
before they looked. Which are you
going to do-look and then leap OF
leap first?
