Mr. A J Bethea, Governor
AnsePs private secretary, writes
the following letter, which ex-
plains itself:
Senator B R Tillman, Trenton,
S. G.
My dear Sir: l have just read
the story in the News and
Courier entitled mo Drink for
Tillman," copied from the New
York Sun, and to say that / am
disgusted and outraged hardly
expresses my feelings.
There is not a semblance OF
truth in this article, which of
course, you know as we'll as | do,
but in justice to you and to my
self, / hasten to write to assure
you that it did not come from
me nor any one connected with
the Governors Office.
There is only one way in which
it could possibly have originated,
and the truth has been 50 dis
torted that it strains the imagi-
nation to account for it
On Friday!of last week a gen.
tleman came over from Winns-
boro, and was in great distress
because he found the dispen-
saries closed, making it i'm
possible for him to purchase
champagne, which he wished to
use at a reception at his home
the next day. The Governor was
absent, and as he had ordered
the dispensaries closed for that
day and the next, / told the
gentleman l could do nothing for
him, although he brought with
him a physicians certificate.
At the luncheon on Saturday |
sat by Mr. Robert H Hazard, a
representative of the United
Press, and during the course of
conversation, l related to him
the above story telling him of
the distress of the gentleman,
but without any mention of his
name, and certainly without any
thought of yours in connection
with it.
l do not say that Mr. Hazard
wrote this article, but | cannot
account for it in any other way.
1t is certainly far from the truth,
and l hope you will understand
that | resent it and that / OBJ
ject to being made a party to a
newspaper story, which is utter
ly without warrant and without
foundation.
Trusting this explanation will
serve the purpose for which it
is intended, and assuring you of
my unwillingness to do you an
injustice, I am,
Yours, very truly,

Boost Your Own Town.

Knocking ones own town is the
subject of a pointed and pithy edl-
torial in the Ansonia Sentinel. Among
other things The Sentinel says:
"To publicly talk a down town, IN
stead of up, is one way OF proving the
traitor; to nail it as dead, unprogres-
sive and no good when it is in the
habit of holding it's own, is to talk
against ones closest home interests.
If is lust as easy to boost as to knock,
hut there is everything in habit. The
habitual knocker seems to find it hard
to reform.
'Haye we any knockers? Is there
treason among us? Are there men who
are falling to work for the cltys pest
interests? Is the crouch a common
ailment in our midst? Who lacks pat
riotism for his home city, let him get
out of it before he communicates the
rest. Next to patriotism for one
country is patriotism for ones nome
city"
An individual or a newspaper may
do as great harm in a community in
directly as by directly running down
the town in which he or it exists
Senseless and disgruntled opposition TO
every attempt at betterment in
community is quite as harmful as
openly decrying the place and belit-
Ting or discouraging its every at
tempt to progress in an orderly way.
In every community there must OF
necessity be honest differences OF
opinion on many matters. In the
matter of advancing the best inter-
ests Of the community there should be
no difference. The motto, If you
can't boost, don't knock" is appro-
priately applicable in this case.-Mld-
