WASHINGTON, April 2.-The presi-

webster letter, making public copies
,f letters the president wrote to Con-
,rossman sherman in New York last
summer.
In one Of the letters the president
said:

After giving out the correspondence
the president said:
Il feel particularly fortunate in hav-
ing been attacked within the last few
days by both Burton and Hartmann
The president then authorized the
following statement:
After writing the letters to Sher-
man the president was assured Har-

Walla Walla and PendletOn Will play

will depend on which city celebrates.

F|EDLER SAYS It IS PERSONAL ATTACK

At meeting of the striking cigar
makers last night, practically nothing
was done to relieve the situation and
today it looks like a case Of who can
hold out the longest.
According to a statement made by j.
M. Fielder this morning. Fielder says
the fight is simply a personal attack
on him and his factory. AS to the fact
that others had advanced the wages
of their men over a month ago, Fled
ler stated further it was only to the
price which he has been paying for six
years. He says he has been paying $13
per 1000 cigars of a certain grade While
others have been paying but $12 for

but he would give some facts unOffi-
cially.
That Fielder was paying a dollar
more per thousand on the grade of ci-
gars than others, was only due to the
fact that Fielder uses a double filler
and the schedule requires the extra
dollar. Fielder. he says. reduced the
pay on the long cigar the frst of the
year. SO per 1000, and it is principally
for this old price the men are strik-
ing. On other cigars they are only
asking for the advance already granted
by other manufacturers.

NEED LEGISLATIVE ATTENTION

Spartanburg has some insurance
companies that need attention from
the legislature if we can under
stand plain statements by the Jour
nal.-Abbeville Press and Banner.
Not only Spartanburg has some Of
this class Of insurance companies
but there are others. And there
have been others. In fact we have
seen them come and go and take the
money from confiding and unsus-
pecting citizens without the SEM
blance Of security and nothing but
the hope of payment in case of, loss.
ThiS class of companies mentioned
by the Press and Banner and others
which do health aud accident busi4
ness should have some legislative at
tention and should have some restric-
tions thrown around them.
This same suggestion came to us
when in Columbia a few days as a
member of the Legislative committee
checking up the various books in
the different state Offices. We hope
some one who is more familiar with
the subject will propose the desired
and needed legislation. 1t is too
easy for this class of companies to
get charters and they go out with the
endorsement Of the state.
