To Whom it May Concern:
+ BOSTON, Mass, November 1s.-
So many misleading articles have
appeared In the public press with ref
ererce to the Douglas controversy, we
issue this brief and accurate statement
Of facts: ,.~,: 5 d..
In January, 1908, the Douglas Com
pahy transferred 25 cases 600 pairs)
per day Of $3.50 shoes from their No.
/ to their No. factory and expressed
their; willingness to accept inferior
work, for which they would pay the
same wages as paid on their $500
shoes. j 4
/ IN June, 1908, they had Increased the
$3.50 shoes so transferred to 1900 pairs
per day. There shoes were then trans
ferred bac kto the original No fac
tory, at which time the wages on their
entire $3.50 product, amounting to be-
tween 5000 and 4 900 pairs per day,
were placed under this No. or re-
duced scale OF wages, thus establish
ling a condition wherein no transfer
had taken place, which justifies us In
the conclusion that the transfer Of
shoes was for the purpose Of securing
a reduced labor cost, contrary to the
arbitration method III vogue between
the Douglas company and tho Boot
and shoe Workers Union for the pre-
vious nine years. .5.5= *@ L. Sc E. :.

AWAY With PEANUT POLITICS!
Kf Blease's Home Paper Comes Out
For Ansel and Explains Why.

De apparent, the observer olo uoI
intend to take any part in the race
for Governor. In the first place, it
never supposed for moment, and
does not suppose now, that there is
the slightest probability of Cover
nor Ansel's defeat for reelection.
But attacks have been made on him
of such character that we feel it
our duty to take some notice of
them-in justice to him as man and
Governor, not as candidate for re-
election.
Let us say right here that, taken
all round-in the quiet, diligent,
business way in which he has dis
charged his duties, in his fairness to
everybody and every interest, in his
earnest, determined stand for the
right, IN his personal honesty and
integrity, IN the absolute freedom of
his administration from even taint
Of scandal-Governor Ansel has
made the best Governor since John
son Hagood. He is entitled by
faithful and efficient service to the
FULL benefit of the custom that pre-
walls IN South Carolina that gives a
Governor a second term:
The Governor has been attacked
for the "extIayagance" of his ad-
ministration. The "extravagance'
chat is harped upon most by legiSla.
tive candidates consists in the large
appropriations to the higher institu-
tions Of learning in the State. These
appropriations was made by the Leg.
islature; the representatives in the
Senate and the House are solely re-
spoasible for them. If We remem-
Der correctly there was no fight
made on any of these appropriations
in either the Senate or the House.
If they are too high the Senators
and Representatives are to blame
not the Governor. He is not re-
<sponsible for any appropriation that
.vas made by the Legislature, vheth-
er high or low.
But he recommended an appro.
priation-which was not made, by
the way-for a new "Governor's
Mansion" So he did, and so did
his predecessors. The truth is, the
present Governors "mansion" Is un-
worthy of the State. 1t is simply
the remnant, or unburnt portion, of
the old Arsenal building. In a
stones throw of it are half dozen
or more private residences that are
far superior to it in every particular,
EXCEPT in the beauty and spacious
ness of the lot. 1t Is fine location
for a mansion but the mansion is not
there-only makeshlft.
Governor Ansel knew that if the
State should adopt his recommends
ton and build a Gouernor's man
sion he could not occupy it, for his
term of office-the second term as
well as the frst-would expire be-
fore it could possibly be completed.
But he felt that his successor, who
ever he might be, deserved some
thing better than the present one
and that State pride ought to furn-
ish it. One appropriation would be
sufficient, and that, spread over the
many years that such a mansion
would last, would make the cost in!

turned to the state capitol after tour
of the peach belt, and reports that
the fruit crop is uninjured and the
indications are that the yield this year
will be good one. Professor Worsham
is taking special pains that no unde-
sirable fruit trees or plants from in
fected districts are shipped into Geor-
gia. There is hardly a week that
passes which does not find this de-
partment Selling shipments which do
not come up to the requirements of the
law.
Professor Worsnam states that it is
almost as much of a task to watch
for the shipment of cotton seed hulls
and cotton seed from the boil weevil
district across the mississippi, as to
watch for the infested trees. The
fact that these seeds and nulls are
oftentimes infected tends to make the
prices lower and some are shipped
into Georgia.
Professor Worsham is a great be-
lever in patronizing home productions
and home industries. He declares if
the Georgia farmer would sell his cot
ton seed to the oil mills of the state
and purchase from them the desired
cotton seed meal and nulls, the farmer
would increase his own wealth and
help build up the cotton seed oil in
dustry in Georgia.
