OFFICIAL TIDINGS.
Mrs. Pauling Receives Letter From
Commanding Officer.

.--r 81 IS. fs+y'
: The first official news of Gunner
Fairey's sad death was received yes
derday by his sister, Mrs. E. r. Paul
ling. In his letter, Captain Rush,
Commander of the U. S. S. Connec-
ticut, spoke very highly OF Mr.. Fair
ey. The letter follows:
u. S.. S. Connecticut, Cape Cod Bay,
Mass, August l, 1910.
Mrs. E. R. Paulling, Orangeburg, S.
! c., My dear Madam:
With regret l. have to announce
to you the death on board today in
the line OF his duty of your brother,
George w Fairey, gunner's mate
second class.
AT the time Of death he was en-
gagged in diving for lost torpedo,
and he did his work well, but al
though every possible precaution was
taken regarding his safety, he died
about one hour after coming out of
the water, never ,regaining conscious
ness and without any suffering what
ever
In the boat with him at the time
were several experienced attendants
of his own rating, who tended his
lines, the ChiefF Gunner Immediately
superintended the work-all of these
men were qualified divers. In addi.
ton to the above there were i'm the
boat the ordinance officer of the shir
and, as an extra precaution a hos
pital apprentice with first-aid box
The boat was properly equipped, the
weather bright, and cool, and the
sea smooth.
It is impossible now, and perhap:
always will be to exactly determine
the cause of death, as he was in
excellent health and no fault could
be found with the apparatus, or the
performance Of duty of any of those
who were with him in the boat.
Your brother was a man in, ex
cellent standing on board, and one
who did his duty we'll, he was Z
credit to the, ship and to the service
and both will feel his loss. / extend
to you the sympathy Of the officers
and men, and beg you to believe me
Very sincerely yours,
N. R. Rush,
Captain Commanding.

this time is representing the South
ern Crushers' Association, which
passed resolutions few weeks ago
at Wrightsville, N. c., endorsing
Senator Smith and myself for our
work in behalf Of this legislation.
Of course, I presume anybody knows
II did not write, with my own hand,
the couple thousand letters; l pre-
pared the original, Mr.. Trimble then
had them mimeographed for me and
those letters with the statements Of
Mr.. Burleson and me before the
Committee were sent out under Mr..
Burleson's frank and mine, as was
our right to send them out under
the law. Is there any crime in that,
except such crime as exists in the
putrid brain and imagination of a
man who makes his living delving in
dirty dirt. do not know from what
point Mr.. Trimble sent these letters
and statements out. l don't care
from what point they were sent out.
My purpose was to do as other men
have done in Congress Stokes,
and a thousand others-reach the
people who were most interested in
the same purpose in which l was in
terested. Every act of miIe in con-
nection with this legislation was
legitimate and in accordance with

complish things. / have no apollo

be pillored, attacked, lied upon and
denounced when such assaults enan-
ate for the reason that I have stood
by the working people of the coun-
try, the protection Of the public
against fraud, and the interest of
the South. 1t is an honor.
In closing, let me say. that do
not recall>a single Southern repre-
sentative in the last twenty years
who, when called upon to act has
not voted against this iniquitous tax
upon the table, this unjust discrimi-
nation against a Southern industry.
My immediate predecessors in Con-
gress. the Hon. J. w. Stokes and
the Hon. Samuel Dibble, both voted
to repeal this tax, but because Of
the malicious hate or narrow ignor-
ance of certain persons when | do
what other Southern men have con-
stantly done for twenty years, my
character must be assailed th:a'igh
the copied sewer pipes of Northern
muck-raker. who emptied his sew
erage into the channels Of a North

been sent to the Orangeburg Sun.

HOW MIR. FAIREY DIED.
Lost His Life by Suffocating in the
Line of Duty.

A dispatch from Provincetown,
Mass, near where the sad accident
happened, says thirty fathoms deep
in the waters of Cape Cod in search
of sunken torpedo, George William
Fairey, a gunner's mate on the bat
tleship Connecticut, whose home waH
at Orangeburg, S. c., lost his life
Tuesday, according to word brought
shore from the fleet. The Connec-
ticut was engaged in torpedo prac-
tice when one of the missiles was
lost and Fairey was sent out with a
boats crew and diving apparatus
to recover it.
On his way to the bottom of the
bay he signaled 20. k" There was
a pause for a moment when he reach
ed bottom and then came a faint sig
nal of danger. His comrades pull
ed the diver to the surface as quick
ly as possible. Hurriedly opening
the armor they found him 'uncon-
scious, but still breathing. All ef-
forts to resuscitate him failed.
The cause. Of .the accident Is not

must have been trouble in the trans

you will find my statement and
which l am sure you will agree in
large measure is an eXtemporan-
eous statement taken down in short
hand. Of course, 1 had my facts as
I have,jn every speech I make. You
will notice in reading these hearings
that no one representing Armour and
Swift appeared before the committee
in behalf of the repeal of this tax
or in support of the bill that I in
troduced or that was introduced by
Mr.. Burleson. The fact is, as I un-
derstand, the big packers Of the
country are fighting the repeal of
this tax or are Indifferent as to the
result for the reason that they, the
packers, are the biggest dealers IN
butter in the country and it matters
not to them what the tax is for the
consumer pays It, The men who ap-
peared before our committee in be-
half of my bill which is similar to a
half dozen were representatives of
the labor unions of the country,
pleading for the labor people, Mr..
Jelke, representing his firm Of oleo-
margarine producers, Mr.. Trimble,
representing the cotton seed oil peo-
ple-the Crushers Association of
the South; Mr.. Courier, represent
ing the RETAIL Grocers association,
and Mr.. Mccarthy representing the
Retail Butchers Association, the
latter association which is now max
ing the fight against the big packers
If any representative of Armour or
Swift appeared before the committee,
he did it in disguise, but even if he
had come in the open, that fact
would not have frightened me into
refusing to do my duty to the peo-
pie of this country and to those of
my own section. Muck-rakers and
irresponsible scribblers cant fright
en- me out of the course of what
seems to be justice and right by any
such tactics as appear in your copied
statement.
1t is true, I sent out the letter
which you copied. What harm is
there in that? I was making this
fight to win it because it is right
that I should win it and 1 wanted
help and I took the only means |
knew of getting it; called for it
from the people who are interested
in it. I made no secret of it, the
letter was prepared by me and was
sent out under the direction of the
Hon. South Trimble, for six years
Democratic member of Congress
from Kentucky, q candidate two
years ago on the Democratic ticket
for Lieutenant Governor Of Kentucky
and now Assistant Secretary of the

furnished the names of the people
to whom the letters were sent, saw
that the envelopes were properly ad-
dressed and looked after the details.

MAKING GOOD SHOWING
THE CoUNTY's FINANCES ARE
IN APPLE PIE ORDER.
The Auritors and Treasurer's Books
Are Carefully Gone over by the
Comptroller-General.

& COmpCfOlIcf.UeHeT =
The Orangeburg correspondent OF
the State says the excellent financial
condition. of Orangeburg county was
attested to by Comptroller-General
A. w Jones on Monday afternoon
when he made his final settlement
between the State and the Orange
burg county auditor, treasurer, su'
perintendeDt Of education and SUI
peryisor. Mr.. Jones found the coun'
ty books and finances in such con-
dition that he was enabled to &c
over the figures in about two hours
instead of two days, as in most coun'
ties.
The annual settlement that If
made between the auditor and treas
urer comprises the year beginning
June 80, 1909, to June 80, 1910
The aggregate figures gone over by
the comptroller general were gone
over item by item by the auditor
and the committee from the grand
Jury. The cash balances in the
treasurer's hands on June 80, 1910
were: For State purposes, s327.o9;
county purposes, s1S0.30; school
bonds, $21,SS9.S1; school purposes
s24,249.96.
The school bonds are distributed
among the schools as follows: Hol'
ly Hill, s414.03; Branchville, $S,'
427.50; Orangeburg, $16,427.SS;
North, s424.52; Springfield, $513.'
rs; Bowman, s433.3S; Elloree'
$24S.74.
The total resources of the county
for the past year were S49,4l4.55
The back indebtedness shown
amounts to s9,343.4e. The net re-
sources for the county was s40,071,'
09. The net expenditures OF the
county amounted to s5e,277.7S. The
money borrowed for the county
against taxes of 1910 up to June 80
1910, amounts to $685. This
amount, less the S1S0.31 on hand
for county purposes, makes the &C
tual Indebtedness of the county at
this time $16,206.69. This will al!
be paid when the taxes are collected
in the fall.
The Communication road tax In
creased in this county from $5,31e
of last year to s9,373.50 this year
Eleven thousand dollars was expend'
ed for chaingang road building pur'
poses during IL months and $4,000
expended by the township commits
sioners for road building during 8
like period. The commutation tas
was raised from 81 to s1.50 last
year and through the close attention
of the township commissioners the
great increase in this tax over last
year is accounted for.
Orangeburg county received from
the State for school extension 81.
O26.70 this year and $4,000 for high
schools. AS a farewell shot from
the great revenue producer, the
ccounty dispensary, Orangebure
county, received s19,809.24, and a
like amount was divided among the
schools and dispensary owns ac-
cording to their share. The loss OF
the county dispensary revenue will
be a big item in this county.

IL Out OF existence, DuI IL IS SOuLn-
ern article coming into competition
with the products of these sections
and hence the taxing power Of the
Federal Government is leyeled
against it. 1t is an outrageous per-
vesiom of the power of Congress.
There was time in my memory,
when cotton seed were burned to get
them out of the way and now they
constitute a third of the value of the
entire cotton crop of the South be-
cause we have found market for
meal and for oil, the latter of which
is consumed largely in the produc-
tion of oleomargarine. Shall We leg
islate against ourselves because some
dirty muck-raker may accuse you of
working for a trust? I have never
been afraid to do my duty to the
people at large and especially to the
people of my section in the face of
all of the dirt-dipped-darts, of all
the muck-rakers who make their
living upon the ruined regulations of
decent and honorable men. / want
ed to repeal this tax to protect the
public against fraud, to give the poor
man of the laboring districts cheap
article of food and at the same time
to help every COTTON producer in
the South who has cotton seed for
sale by giving him market for a
part OF his seed. If that be treas
on, am guilty. So much for this
phase of the question.
One, Mr.. Welliver, whom do not
know, writing to Springfield, Ohio,
newspaper which is against the re-
peal of the tax on oleomargarine be-
cause it represents butter people,
makes certain charges among which
are the following: That the litera-
ture that was sending out was pre-
pared by Armour and Swift. This
statement is lie out of the whole
cloth and the man who makes it is
a liar and the man who repeats 1t
is not much less. I send you under
