"Now, Mr.. President, this lot
ter was published in the summe +
OF 1906. Mr. Lanahan was then
living and Parker did not deny
it, or attempt to have Lanahan
retract it. Now Lanahan is dead
and cannot speak;and the Green

cause I hit Greenville's Patton
and am a candidate for Governor
against Greenville's Ansel. Yes,
sir, that is my belief as to the
reason.
"Why did Parker wait until
Lanahan was dead9 I do not
say that Parker is liar. but
Lanahan says that Parker is a
liar. If Lanahan said that l was
his agent he lied; and if Parker
says that l was Lanahan's agent
he is a liar.
"The man that will come to
my face and tell me that was
Lanahan's agent, the world will
find out whether he and l are
both brave men or not"

Blease's Defense


resented Whiskey House.
What the Senator Says
about Gov. Ansel and 9th
ers.
Columbia special in Charlotte
Observer Senator Cole l.
Blease, of Nswberry, rising to a
question Of personal privilege to
day, read affidsvits from the Lam
ahan people and from members
of the State board of direc tors to
contradict the testimony given
yesterday before the dispensary
winding up commission by Mr..
Lewis w. Parker that Blease was
the representative of the Lana
han concern before the. State
board, and alleged a conspiracy
between Mr.. Parker, Mr.. Avery
Patton, of the commission, and
a correspondent of The News
and Courier to injure him politi-
cally.
"Just before the campaign of
1906" said Mr.. Blease, "the re-
port was circulated that one in
the employ of the State was an
agent for a liquor house. 1 had
not any:.ideain the world thatIthat
meant me, and 1 never thought
so until Senator Tillman, rid
ing on q railroad train one day,
was asked the positive question
as to whom he referred to, and
he said to this gentleman, who
suppose he thought was a very
intimate friend Of his sand not q
friend of mine, that Blease was
the man whom he meant. i'm
mediately sat down and wrote to
the different gentlemen and ask
ed if it was true, and if it wasn't
true to send me an affidavit. l
read these affidavits at Un-
ion at the,campaign meeting two
years ago. Just after the opel-
ing of this campai gn, just after
| had something to say about
Mr.. Avery Patton and his wind
ing-up commission, again this
matter is brought up. The Cover
nor is from Greenville, Mr.. Avery
Patton is from Greenville, both
of the witnesses are from Green
vile, the correspondent of The
News and Courier is from Green
vile. Right at the opening OF
this campaign of 1908 here comes
the Governor and his-I want to

his witnesses and his appointee
Patton of the winding-up com.
mission, all from Greenville.
81 am not afraid of thismat-
ter, because / have never re,
presented any whiskey house in
the capacity of a sales agent
and the people of Greenville, af'
ter this thing was circulated and
when | hardly had time to ans
wer it, gave me nearly $4,000
votes for Governor and this
summer Ansel will answer tt
those people for the conspiracy
between him and his Greenvillt

politically, but he will also ans

A Venerable Gourmet.

A New Yorker of sixty years was
told by young couple that he
might consider himself at liberty to
contribute a book to their library,
with his autograph and a sentiment
on the ny leaf He had dined at
the house several times. One day
the expressman left a hefty vol
ume bound in white enamel. 1t was
a cook book. This was written in
side: The family Bible lies on the
parlor table untouched. Let the
kitchen bible be opened daily and
studied with understanding. 1t
c Ltains the best of all religions, and
If its advice is followed will turn
more to Christianity than all the
Scriptures" The venerable gour-
met signed his full name, but there
after was persona non grata. The
young wife never forgave him.

ThankIess Advice.

Instruction in politeness to the

POliteness begins at home. You
cannot instill it into a man over 20
who serves the public, as he soon
acquires q supreme contempt for his
betters. People laughed at Cath
crime of Russia for prohibiting lad
les from getting drunk at her
levees, and gentlemen from actually
striking ladies at those functions.
But that insufferable prig, Lord
Chesterfield, far outdid the power

he tells his son: After blowing
your nose in company, do not look
at the handkerchief. In the

1T seems to me a lot of these

Anyway the machines often
don't work when the person who is

next person who comes along is apt
to get two pieces of chewing gum

His Hoofs Play the Part and Grow
a Third of an Inch a Month.

Few persons realize that a horses
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails of human beings or Of
animals having toes. The horn Of
a hOof grows just as a toe nail does.
The hoof grows more rapidly in
unshod horses than in those wearing
shoes, and it grows faster in horses
which are we'll groomed and wei fed.
But on the average the horn grows
about a third of an inch a month.
Hind hOofs 5row faster than fore
hOOfs. The toe Of the hoof being
the longest part, it takes longer fo-
the horn o grow down there than
at the heel. For instance, the toe
will grow entirely down in from
eleven to thirteen months, while
the heel will grow down in from
three to five months.
AS the new horn grows out cracks
or defects IN the old gradually work
down to where they can be cut on,
just as with human finger nails you
can watch the pTogI ess of a bruise
from the root to the tip.-New York

Why Man Gives Preference to Right
Hand Over the Left.

Right handedness and right eyed
ness came with genus homo. Dr..
George NJ Gould has watched for
them in squirrels that use their
front paws to hold nuts, cats that
strike at insects in the air or play
with wounded mice and in many
other animals, but he is certain no
preference is given to the right side
over the left.
But in the lowest human savages
all over the world choice in greater
experience Of one hand is clearly
present One cause TO. its de-
velopment is in primitive military
customs. In all tribes and coun-
tries since man used implements of
offence and defence the left side.
where the heart lies, has been pro-
tected by the shield, and the left
hand was called the shield hand
while the right hand was called the
spear hand.
Next to fightin.. came commerce.
The fundamental conditions of bar
tering was counting with the low
numbers, one to ten. The fingers
of the free or right hand were nat
urally first used, and all fingers to-
day are called digits, as are the fig
ures themselves, while the basis OF
our numberings is the decimal or
ten fingered system. Every drill
and action of the soldier from anc-
lent Greece to modern America is
right sided in every detail. Firing
from the right shoulder and sighting
With the right eye brings the right
eye into prominence.
1t is significant that with the de-
cline of militarism comes the sug-
gestion of schools for ambidexterity
and the establishment of a move
ment for promulgating the gospel
of two handedness and its obvious
tages.-Chicago Tribune.

Thoroughly wash leaves to remove

Mistake Made by Travellers in the
Arid Wastes Of the Southwest.

Arid Wastes OF the Southwest.
One of the chic; dangers to trav-
ellers in crossing such dreary and
arid wastes as the far famed Death
Valley in Nevada arises from ignor-
ance as TO the character of the in
frequent pools of water along the
route, said T. E. Smalley, a min
ing engineer of Denver.
The tenderfOOt, growing faint
under a blazing sun, will want to
Quench his thirst when he comes to
q shallow hole, whose water, clear
as crystal, seems absolutely pure.
He can with dific atty be restrained
from drinking 1t by some expert
eneed companion, who knows that
one draught will probably cause
serious if not fatal illness. The
water, for all its seeming purity and
clearness is loaded with arsenic.
and many man has lost his life by
its use.
"Curiously enough, the only wa
ter in the desert that is safe to
drink, is foul looking and is inhab-
tied by bugs and snakes. When
you come to muddy pool on the
surface of which insects are deport-
ing themselves, however repulsive it
may be both to the eye and palate.
you may drink it with impunity. de-

perpetuates them; he does no
more. The seedless orange was found
in a state of seedIessness.
