Hayward Replies.

Columbia, April 17.-(SpeciaD.-
Governor Heyward was today shown
a copy Of Mr. Martins letter and ask
ed if he had any reply to make to this
attack upon him. Mr. Hayward said:
II am very much surprised and sor-
ry to know that Mr.. Martin has seen
fit to begin the mud singing In the
senatorial campaign. When | was not
a candidate for the same office to
which he also aspires he seemed to
entertain for me a very high regard.
The people Of the state will recall that
when Mr.. Martin last July got mad
with Governor Ansel and made a Bit
ter attack upon the chief magistrate
of South Carolina he referred to d. c.
Hayward as that delightful and con-
sderate gentleman who adorned that
office during the past four years.
But since that delightful and con-
sderate gentlemen is now Mr.. Mar
tins opponent and is pronounced by
leading religious newspaper as the
probable winner of the race, Mr.. Mar
tin seems to change his opinion OF
him entirely, but 1 am certain he can
not change the opinion of the people
Of South Carolina.
The testimony before the investi-
CATION committee must have been
known to Mr. Martin when he spoke
of me so kindly last summer as 1t has
been public property for nearly three
years. The people of South Carolina
know what sort of campaign | con-
Quoted in 1902, and their confidence
in me was clearly demonstrated by the
fact that | was reelected governor in
1904. without even a hint Of opposi-
ton.
"As to the alleged expenditures in
1902 i'm Spartanburg county as
brought out at investigation, l have
nothing to conceal and have never
had. will be very glad for you to pub
lish copy Of this testimony which |

THE FIRST BALLOT.
What it Means to Leading Candidates
In National Convention.

We are told that Secretary Taft
will lead on the first ballot in the Re-
publican national convention of 1908
There is Il chance that he will lead
But the man who Is ahead on the
first lineup unless i'm the case of re-
nomination Of president does not
always carry off the prize.
Seward led at the outset in the Re-
publican convention Of 1860, but Lin
coin got the nomination. Blaine was
far ahead of any Of his rivals on sew
eral ballots in 1876, yet it was Hayes
who won the candidacy. Grant led
for a long time in the convention OF
1880, but it was Garfield who was
nominated. Sherman was so far
ahead of all the other aspirants In
1888 for several ballots that it looked
as if he would get the candidacy, but
Harrison was the lucky man, and not
Sherman.
1t has been the rule among the re-
publicans to re-nominate their elect
ed presidents, the only exception be-
ing in the case Of Hayes, who said at
the outset that he would accept only
one term. But a new man has to
fight for the candidacy. If the new
man does not carry off the prize on
the first ballot the chances will be
against him. This was shown in the
case of Seward, of Blaine in his first
convention. of Sherman and of former
President Grant when he sought a
third term.
The only Republican aspirant who
failing to win on that ballot, was sue
cessful on a subsequent division was
Blaine in 1884. who was ahead from
the beginning and who received the
nomination on the fourth ballot.
In Democratic conventions also luck
usually turns against the leader on
the first ballot who fails to get the
candidacy ou that O. on the second
ballot At tie outset Van Buren, led
in 1914, Cass IN 1852. Douglas in 1860
Pendleton in 1868 and Bland in 1896
but in each case the nomination went
to somebody else-to Polk in 1914. to
Pierce in 1852. 20 Seymour in 1868 and
to Bryan in 1S96-eXcept that in the
Douglas case of 1860 the party split
eventually, and Douglas in another
convention received the nomination OF
one section of his party.

Cleveland in 1884, who led on the first
ballot were nominated on the second

off the prize on the fourth ballot and

seventeenth. both Of whom led from
the beginning. are exceptional in Dem

THE REAPER KINGS.
A Theory That Lincoln's Candidacy
Was Due TO Their Wars.

Among the different types OF reap
ers and the numerous variations Of
each type the bitterest rivalries pre-
vailed. There was no pool, no gentle
mems agreement" no community OF
interest" Indeed the harvester bus
mess" was not business. 1t was a
riotous game of farmer, farmer who
gets the farmer" The excited play
ers cared less for the profits than for
the victories. AS fast as they made
money they threw it back into the
game. Mechanics became miliOnaires
and millionaires became mechanics.
The whole trade was tense with risk
and rivalry and excitement, as though
it were a search for gold along the high
plateaus of the Rand. And this in
spite of the fact that, with the excep-
ton of Mccormick, Osborne and
Whiteley, the men who. came to be
known as reaper kings were not natur-
ally fighters. No business men were
ever gentler than Deering, Glessner
Warder Adriance and Huntley. But
the making of reapers was a new trade.
1t was like a vast, unfenced prairie.
where every settler owned as much
ground as he could defend.
Each step ahead meant a struggle
for patents. Whoever built a reaper
had to defend himself in the courts as
well as approve himself in the harvest
fields. Cyrus H. Mccormick especial
", as William Deering soon learned.
welded the big stick against every
man who dared to make reapers. He
was the griZZled old veteran OF the
trade, and he gave battle to his COM
petitors as though they were horde
of trespassers. He was their common
enemy, and the reaper money that was
squandered on lawsuits brought
golden era of prosperity to the law
yers.
Some of these patent wars shook the
country with the crash Of hostile
forces. The tide Of battle rolled up to
the supreme court and even into the
halls of congress. Once in 1855, when
Mccormick charged full tilt upon John
H. Nanny, who was making reapers at
Rockford ILL.,, three year struggle be-
gan that was the most noted legal duel
of the day.
Mccormick to make sure of his vic
tory, went into the fight with a bat
terry of lawyers whom he thought in
vincible-Willam H. Seward, E. M.
Dickerson and Senator Reverdy john
son. Nanny made a giant effort at
self defense by hiring Abraham Lin
coin, Edwin NJ. Stanton, Stephen A.
Douglas, Peter II. Watson, George
Harding and Congressman H. Winter
Davis.
From first tO.last it was lawyers
battle, and Mccormick was finally de-
feated by Stanton, who made an unan-
swerably eloquent speech. For this
speech Stanton received $4,000, and
Lincoln, who had made no speech at
all, was given $1,000. Yet in the long
run the man who profited by this law
suit was Lincoln, for it was this mon
ey that enabled him to carry on his ia
nous debate with Douglas and thus
made him the inevitable candidate Of
the Republican party.-H. y. Casson

testimony the amount was not nearly

and furthermore the testimony will
show that it was entirely disconnected

"As to my alleged dsrespect to
Senator Latimer, I wish to say that
my candidacy for the senate was not
announced until l read in the after
noon paper an account Of the funeral
of Senator Latimer, and 1t was then
announced only because I was leaving
the next day for Philadelphia to be
absent for some time on account Of
the illness of my wife. Any previous
reference to my probable candidacy
made by the newspapers was, Of
course, without authorization or insti-
cation from me. Mr.. Martins con-
sideration for the feelings Of Senator
Latimer's family may in his own
words be termed post mortem regard,
because it Is well known that Mr..
Martin was preparing to attack the
personal and political record of the
late senator, had Mr.. Latimer lived to
enter the campaign. This is shown by
Mr.. Martins announcement Of his
for the senate"

EDWARD THE PEAcEMAKER.
His Remarkable Success In Compos
ina European Differences.

ing european DlHeTenceS.
A Maurice Low, in the Forum,
says: A man of extraordinary ability
is the present king Of England, man
whose great capacity was not suspect
ed until long after an age when the
world has usually formed and closed
it's judgment Of men. Had the king
died when he was stricken down with
appendicitis on the eve of his corona
ton, he would have occupied a much
smaller place in history that he does
now. Up to that time. as the world
was able to know him, he was man
who loved life and got out of life all
there was in it, He had always been
noted for his tact; marked trait was
his desire to make every one around
him happy and to play the peace
maker whenever it was possible but
no opportunity had been given him to
give proof of craftsmanship Of the
first order.
In a few short years he has shown
himself to be the first statesman Of
Europe.
Summed up, the result of King Ed
wards diplomacy Of the last few years
Is seen to be as follows: England and
France have settled all the questions
that formerly kept them apart, and
are now working in perfect concord
to keep the peace Of Europe; England
and Russia have reached a working
arrangement, and a clash between the
two powers. either in the far or near
east is no longer feared: between
England and Italy and England and
Austria there is complete sympathy:
an English princess sits on the throne
of Spain, which is of importance pO-
litically because of the interests Eng
land has in the Mediterranean; an
English princess sits on the throne Of
Norway. which is of lesser impor-
tance, but not without political value.
England, therefore. can command the
support of every European power
with the sole exception of Germany,
whose emperor RACES with impotent
fury as he watches the success of his
uncle's diplomacy.

RARE.-There lives in Evanston a
little girl who was taken recently on
a trip to the Pacific coast. While 60
ing and coming through the Rocky
Mountain region she heard a good deal
about the difficulties some of the pas
sengers had on account of the rare
condition of the atmosphere. 1t was
shortly after little HeSter'S return that
her smaller sister came home from
Sunday school and reported that she
had heard of a wonderful thing.
1T says in the Bible" she declared,
that once there was a man who went
to heaven without dying"
"Oh. no." said Hester, that could
never have happened. Why do you
tell such fbs?"
1T did, too happen. He went right
up to heaven in a chariot and never
died at all" 1890
Yes" said the mother of the little
girls. lit is true. The Bible says that
Elijah went to heaven i'm that way.

Diversion of a Sultan.

Writing i'm The World Today Of the
various amusement "fads' of the sui
tan of Morocco. John II. Avery says:
Still, the sultan was really interest
ed in "sun-pictures. And while his
gorgeous cameras were being made in
Paris and London he set gangs Of
slaves at work on a palatial studio
and darkroom that cost $4,000. 1t
was q huge domed structure. wains-
coted with carved teak, and its appli-
ances and fittings cost small for
tune. AS soon as | arrived in FeZ l
began to explain the working of a
small hand camera, of course through
an interpreter. 1t was a little hard
for the latter to find Arabic equiva-
lents for focus" "lens." and so on.
But the sultan is really an intelligent
man; he soon mastered the mysteries
of the little instrument and pressed
me to pass on to the bigger machines
wherewith he might take groups of
his friends.
Great was his delight when he
snapped his first successful picture,
showing Sir Harry MacLean caress-
ing his favorite hound. For some
weeks the despot ran around hugging
cameras like one possessed and devils
ing subjects Of all kinds, chiefly the
ludicrouS. Borrowing the bicycle of
Doctor Verdon, his English physician,
his majesty insisted on KaiG Bel Har-
ty, keeper of the palace keys trying
to ride. But so great was the sultan's
hilarity over the performance that he
could not take the picture. Bel Har-
ty is Il tall. dignified old man of 60
odd, and all of us Christians earned
his undying hatred by reason OF
laughter it was impossible to sup
press, as he lurched Crazily this way
and that, and finally fell sprawling in
