FIRST IN THE SOUTH
CoIored Photographs Taken by
Two Clemson Professors.
How the Pictures Are Taken--Art
Of Photography VIII, 1t Is Predict
ed, Be Revolutionized,

ed, BE RcVOlutiOniZed.
A special to the News and Courier
from Clemson College says two mem
bers of the faculty, Prof. F. H. H.
Calhoun, of the geological depart
ment, and Assistant Prof. E. T. How
ard, of the mechanical department,
have succeeded in producing photo
graphs showing the original colors
of the objects photographed.
This has been accomplished by
means Of the Lumie-e autochrom
plate. The process was discovered
about one year ago only by Lumiere,
at Lyons, France; and the specially
prepared films have been on the mar
ket about three months.
DR.. Calhoun and Prof. Howard are
among the very first in this country
to try the process, their order for
plates being the 33d. Out Of eight
plates they succeeded in getting sew
en- excellent color photographs of
various scenes around the College,
and they are naturally very proud Of
their success. They are doubtless the
first people in the South to under
take the matter.
The film used in making these COL
or photographs is so made that 1t
contains coloring matter, which is af-
fected by the various colors in the
picture to be taken. The plate Is
exposed as usual in photography, ex
cept rather longer through special
ray filter. Great care needs to be ex-
ercised to handle the plates II a dull
red light.
They must be washed in nine solu-
tions, the first two in total darkness.
The others take place ia the open
daylight. The colors appear imme-
diately upon taking the plates into
the light; but the remaining process
es are essential to the intensifying,
clearing and fixing Of the colors.
The newly discovered process, by
means of which any scene may he
pictured in the original colors, seems
destined to revolutionize the art OF
photography.

DRANK DISPENSARY DRY.
Georgians Closed North Augusta
shop for a While.

The troubles of the North Angus
ia dispensary continue to exist. The
people of the little South Carolina
town have tried to close the liquor
shop and failed on several occasions;
but the people of Augusta have been
more successful. The little shop
was closed, the third time since its
opening during the early afternoon,
because the stock had again been eX-
hausted. And the dispensary trade
in or from Augusta is increasing ev-
cry day.

NO LANAHAN AGENT

Submits Affidavit From One of the
Firm and From Members Of Board
of Control-Says There Is Con-
spiracy Against Him by the Gov
crnor and Mr.. Patton and Some
Others.
One day last week Senator Blease
of Newberry, arose in the State SEN
ate to question Of personal priv
ilege' and made some remarks re-
garding the testimony given before
the state dispensary commission by
Messrs. Lewis Parker and e. A.
Smythe to the effect that he had been
employed by Lanahan G. Son to rep
resent them before the former board
of directors of the state dispensary.
He said:
1 wish to ask the Senate to allow
to be published in the journal five
afidavits which l hold.
"Just before the campaign of 1906,
Mr.. President, the report was circu-
lated that one in the employ of the
State was an agent for a liquor
house. / had not any idea in the
world, sir, that that meant me, and l
never thought so until Senator Till
man, riding on railroad train one
day, was asked the positive question
as to who he referred to and he said
to this gentleman, whom 1 suppose
he thought was very intimate friend
of his and not a friend of mine, that
Blease was the man whom he meant.
Il Immediately sat down and
wrote to the different gentlemen and
asked If it was true, and if it wasn't
true to send me an affidavit. I read
those af1idavits at Union at the cam
paign meeting two years ago.
Just. about the opening of this
campaign, this year, just after l had
something to say about Mr.. Avery
Patton, along with this winding up
commission, again this matter is
brought up. The governor is from
Greenville, Mr. Avery Patton, of the
winding-up commission, is from
Greenville, both of the witnesses are
from Greenville, the correspondent of
the News and Courier is from Green
vile. Right at the opening of this
campaign of 1908 here comes the
governor with his-I want to be mild
and I want to be polite--his wit
nesses and his appointee Patton of
the winding-up commission, all from
Greenville-

of the Lanahan Matter
IN A TALK WITH FIN
At Wright's Hotel in June, 1906,
and in Justice to All Parties Con-
cerncd Calls ON Bleasc to Name
the High State OficiaI' Who Rep
resented the Lanahan Firm Before
the State Board,

the State Board.
To the Editor of the News and
Courier: Please pardon a few words
in answer to Senator Cole l.. Blease
in his recent remarks in the State
Senate with reference to my testi-
mony before the winding-up commits
sion.
The absurdity of the charge of
conspiracy as made by Mr.. Blease
must be apparent, but there may be
some conditions not understood by
all. Neither Capt Smyth nor my
self was a supporter Of Governor
Ansel in the recent campaign. For
myself, though l had the highest per-
sonal regard for him, l differed with
him on the issues of the campaign
and voted for another.
I have never had a communication
with him or any one else referred to
by Mr.. Blease with reference to my
testimony, except with Mr.. Avery
Patton, to whom, after having been
subpoenaed as witness before the
winding-up commission 1 wrote on
December 80, urging him mot again
to put me to the humiliation of ap-
pearing in a matter about which I
know practically nothing" To this
letter I have had a reply and had
not seen Mr.. Patton until I appeared
before the commission a few days
since.
Mr.. Blease asks the question why
l waited until after Mr. Lanahan's S
death to answer the question as to
who Mr.. Lanahan had told me was
representing him in South Carolina.
l agree with him that it was unfor-
tunate that the answer had to be
made subsequent to Mr.. Lanahan's s
death, but had no choice in the
matter.
No one knows better than Mr..
Blease why the que"tiJn was not an
swered two years ago at the time of
the hearing before the legislative
committee, in June, 1906. 1t was
upon Mr.. Blease's own motion and by
the effort of his own vote that
was excused from answering the
question at that time, against the
earnest protest Of Mr.. Lyon, now
Attorney General, and two other
members of the investigating COM
mittee. Having been excused by the
investigating committee from answer
ing the question then, it certainly
would have been improper and incon-
sistent for me subsequently to have
rushed into print to make public
statements which I had asked the
Legislative committee to cXcuSe me
from making before them. Having
been excused then from disclosing
the parsonage referred to by Mr.
Lanahan, l was not called upon to
note any denial by him that Mr.
Blease was the person referred TO.
# will be noted, however, that Mr.
Lanahan never denied any part OF
the conversations referred to by me
in nv testimony. He merely denied
that he had told me that Mr.. Eicasc
represented him, which ut that time
T had not testified to before the COM
mittce, because, as stated, I had been
excused.
Mr.. Blease certainly surprises me-
however, in his statement to the ef-
feet that he had no idea that l re-
