London, Jan. 24.-The colonial Of
flee is now in possession of official adj
vices from Sir Alexander Swettenham.
tho governor Of Jamaica, concerning
the exchange of letters between him.
self and Rear Admiral Davis, but the
extent of these advices, and whether
or not they contain an explanation, an
apology, or extenuating circumstances,
has not been disclosed. 1t appears that
the imperial authorities requested the
governor OF jamaica to send them a
copy OF his letter to Rear Admiral Da-
Wis. This now has been supplied, and
it shows that the letter as sent out
by the Associated Press was to all in
tents and purposes a correct copy.
Awaiting Swettenham's Version.
1t Is now learned that the secretary
for the colonies, Lord Elgin, sent q
second cablegram to Governor SWEET
tenham asking him to give his version
Of the affair, and to this the foreign
office has informed the Associated
Press no answer as yet been re-
ceived. 1t is explained that while this
second cable message was drawn up
on Jan. u, 1t was not really forward
ed until Jan. %, as it required the
direct authority of Lord Elgin, who
was absent in Scotland and who could
not be reached until the 22nd.
Governors Style Condemned.
Discussion of the incident discIoses
the fact that the British view max ca
clear differentiation between Gov
ernor Swettenhams opposition to the
presence of a foreign force on ia
maican soil and his manner of express
ing this opposition. What the British
government and people now condemn
is the tone Of the letter to Rear Ad-
miral Davis. the foreign office having
declared that there was mo excuse for
such language from an official to the
officer Of a friendly nation engaged in
work of humanity" and the press
and public are adopting a substantial
~ similar view.

/ Governor Swettenham was justified in
asking Rear Admiral Davis to with

Documents Are Genuine.

Among the facts elected from Maui
din were that the notations on a
voucher drawn in favor of Henry &
Stribbling, Of Texas, for 81, part
of the documetary evidence was
placed there by Naudin himself on the
date stated in the notation, and that
the various signatures on other checks
and vouchers, the genuineness of which
had been questioned, We're genuine.
His evidence is alleged to have to es-
tablished that various vouchers and
other documents in the possession of
the attorney general of Texas are not
forged and have not been altered. but
are correct records of the transactions
between the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany, Senator Bailey and others.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1907-01-24
This Is the Other Side.

The Bailey investigation committee
Of the house and senate met again
and gave consideration to a number Of
new charges which Representative
Cooke preferred against Bailey, charg-
ing in substance that while holding his
Office as United States senator he has
secured the settlement of claims for
persons interested in the live stock
market, and has secured government
concessions for private interests for
lands in the Indian Territory The
committee ordered these charges filed
with the others.
Bailey's Enemies Keep Busy.
Later in the day another phase of
the fight against Bailey appeared. Act
ing under authority granted him by
the Texas antitrust law County Attor
ney Brady had H. Naudin, one of the
auditors of the Waters Pierce Oil conf
pany at st. Louis, who was In this
city, brought before justice of the
peace, in order to have him testify as
to the authenticity of documentary
evidence held by the state in connec-
ton with the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany. This evidence is now playing
n prominent part in the investigation
of Senator Bailey by the legislative
committee. Bailey asserts that IL the
prosecutor has any documentary evil
dence against him it is unauthentic
or forged.

Greelyville's Enterprise.

The enterprise Of Greelyville, just
thirteen miles southwest of Kings
tree-a town that the census of
1900 gives 800 population-in
organizing a cotton mill with a
capital stock of 100000 is Ger
tainly deserving of admiration
and we sincerely hope that the
stock will all be taken and that
this, the first really large manu-
featuring enterprise in Williams
burg county, will prove so success.
full as to pave the way to other
mills all over the county.
AS stimulant for "dead towns"
experience has demonstrated the
fact that nothing is so potent as
manufacturing industries that
employ large numbers of wage
earners, and should the money
thus invested fail to pay a single
dividend, in indirect benefit the
investment is handsomely paying
one. A 100000 cotton mill at
Greelyvllle would mean a trans.
formation not only of the town
proper, but also of the whole con-
.tiguohs territory. Real estate
would become enhanced by leaps
land bounds anu in short while
sthe population of the town would
tbe increased severa! hundred per
scent.
1t has been stated that a cotton
mill without water power is pre-
destined to failure, but the men
best posted on the subject ridicule
that idea. Some of the best pay
ing mills in South Carolina to-
day are remote from water power
and even have to pump water a
mile or two to fill their boilers.
We take off our hat to Greely-
vile, our pioneer cotton mill
town, and wish them the success
that is richly merited BY their
pluck and enterprise.
