JAPAN DOES NOT WANT TO fight

New York, March 20.-"The man
who fears war with Japan might as
well wear lightning rods down his
back to save himself from stroke
This was the statement made by An
drew Carnegie in an interview In
which he discussed the alarmist re-
ports of Japanese designs against the
United States. q
First" said Mr.. Carnegie, 'It would
be impossible for Japan to transfer an
army to our shores so great as to be
formidable.
"Before her ships could possibly
reach here we would have our har-
bors filled with deadly explosives and
defy them to land.
E THAT failing, if some should land,
we would welcome them with bloody
hands to hospitable graves.
War Talk Absurd.
LET me make one remark about ia
pan; of all the apparitions that dis
turb men like Hobson, the idea of war
with Japan is most absurd.
at should be remembered that Ja-
pan was not altogether victorious with
Russia and when she asked for an in
demnity of $500, 100000 Russia simply
smiled and did not give cent.
5. Japs Want No Fight.
But Japan has no desire to fight with
America, her best friend.
1--WE were the first to welcome Japan
into the brotherhood of nations and
Z will be the last to forsake her.
,%She is our staunch friend, and the
an who fears war with Japan nigh
y as well wear lightning rods down his
back to save himself from a stroke.
Japan has no desire for war will
any nation. She is intent upon de
veloping her resources, paying off he
debts and reducing her enormous bur
den of taxation.
IF Japan were to attack the United
States, it is claimed that her frs
move would be to annex the Philip
pines.
Would be No Calamity.
'If Japan should take the Philip
pines for which we paid $2O,OOO,OOC
there would be no cause for tears
"The acquisition of that country wa
one of the greatest mistakes ever mad
by our government, as the present an
future will show more clearly.
"The reason alleged for taking of tn
Philippines was that Germany woul
take them if we did not.
,"Any man who knows anything a
Nall about the situation of the. Eas
NOW or then is aware that Great Bri
Tiin, with her base of supplies at Hon
- Kong, 500 miles from MALTA, woul
as soon have allowed Germany t
make her naval base there as sh
would allow her to make one at Kings
ton, Ireland, opposite Liverpool
"How about Guam and the Hawaiia
Islands, which Japan would surely tr
to take as a base of supplies?
"That the Japanese would ever TAX
possession of either of these places
about as likely as that the skies wi
fall and we shall then catch skylark
Again, let me say, am convinced
having been on the islands and see
their people with my own eyes, the
we have no better friends in the ,worl
than they, and the recent difference
to their sensibilities will touch ths
sensitive people greatly"

SUPPORTERS SAY HE WILL SIGN.
Much Speculation as to Whether Gov
crnOr Will Sign Resolution to Invcs-
tigatc Winding-up Commission.

Columbia, March 2.--Much specula-
ton is being indulged here as to
whether or not Governor Blease will
sign the joint resolution Of the legis-
pensary winding-up commission. His
supporters and admirers declare that
he will sign the resolution, but there
are others who doubt if he has any
serious intentions of so doing. 1t was
at the suggestion of Governor BlSase
that the resolution was passed; the
members of the commission and the
attorney genral addressed a spirited
communication to the legislature well
coming the light, and practically de-
fed the governor to refuse his sig
nature. At the request Of the COVER
nor. Chairman Murray transmitted
letter in regard to the commissions
work, etc. Will the governor let
the matter rest here, or will he want
thorough investigation by legisla-
ture? This is specially pertinent since
members of the commission and
others feel that the communication to
the legislature contained more in
situations than anything else.
If Governor Blcase was sincere. he
Will likely not rest without a thor
ough investigation. Many Of his
friends say he was sincere and they
believe he will sign the resolution
With his signature the work of inves-
tigating may begin.
The whole State is waiting to see
what Mr.. BleaSe will do.

North Carolina for the Illinois sena-
tor.
Mr. Lorimer also spoke briefly in
answer to telegram from Gov.
Dencen, denying Senator Lorimer's
statement regarding himself.
Mr.. LaFollette, the last speaker Of
the day, was proceeding to say that
every line Of the testimony convicts
Mr.. Lorimer, not only Of obtaining
his seat but Of being participant
In that bribery, when he turned with
trembling voice and gesticulating
hands toward the seat Of Senator
Lorimer on his left. People in the
galleries above rose to see what the
object Of all this denunication would
do. There was an instant of tense
silence.
THE gentleman is not in his seat"
said Mr.. LaFollette .and turned away
TO face the senate. He went on to
review the circumstances which he
considered as substantiating his posi-
ton and declared that it was impossi-
BILE that Mr.. Lorimer should not have
known what was going on.
We can not say just where the
money came FROM" he said, "but we
know that a large amount of it was
used"
Senator Burrows Of Michigan,
chairman Of the committee on privi-
leges and elections, which investi-
gated the Lorimer case and in its re-
port eXonerated the accused senator,
was on his feet trying to interrupt.
He tried to read from the minority
report which declared that the evil
dence did not prove completely on
Lorimer's part in the alleged bribery.
Does the senator yield?" asked
the presiding officer. The hand Of the
clock hovered over the half hour
mark-people held their breath. The
chairman's gavel was in the air.
Just a minute, just a minute"
cried the Wisconsin senator. Il know
what the senator wants to say. You
never can prove a thing like that,
but you can know it. 1 don't know
where the money came from that was
used to defeat my own reelection to
the senate, but l do know that a part
of it came from Wall street"
Bang. The gavel fell, and Senator
La Folette sank back with the
phrase Wall street" on his lips. A
litter Of hysterical laughter rang out
from the galleries.
THE hour Of 1870 having arrived"
said the vice president, the secretary
Will report the resolution" 1t was
read:
Resolved, That William Lorimcr
was not duly and legally elected to
seat in the senate of the United States
by the legislature Of the State Of H.
linois."
The secretary will call the roll"
Mr.. Aldrich" and the roll was on.
Practically all the senator's were
in their seats, and all the surplus
space on the senate floor was occupied
by members Of the house, who re-
mained standing while the vote pro-
ceeded.

CIES TO WORK IN HARMONY.
Corn Breeders ASSOciatiOn-IIudsO is
Elected Presidential is Expected
That $4,000 Will be Raised For
Exposition.

Clemson College, Feb. 2S.-Cooper-
alton with the other agricultural
agencies Of the State for the fulfill
ment of the programme of progress
will be the keynote Of the United
States farm demonstration work
South Carolina during the DR., Y
year.
This statement was made today by
Bradford Knapp, assistant to DR.. Sea-
man A. Knapp. head of the farm
demonstration work, who is here at
tending a working conference Of the
farm demonstration agents.
There are more than a score Of the
agents here. The conference was
called for the purpose Of bringing the
farm demonstration agents in closer
touch with the other agencies who
are working for the Improvement Of
agricultural conditions in South Caro-
lima.
Bradford Knapp said today that he
would within the next week announce
the programme for the demonstration
work in South Carolina for 1912. The
work will this year be greatly en-
larged. Approximately $35,OOO will
be available. The work will be eX-
tended into practically every county
In the State. Besides the demonstra-
ton work the boys corn clubs, the
tomato clubs and the live stock work
Will be encouraged and assisted.
At meeting of the South Carolina
Corn Breeders Association held here
today plans were perfected for the
second South Atlantic States Corn
exposition which is to be held in Co.
lumbia during the week Of December,
1911. The sum Of $4,000 has been
appropriated by the general assembly
for the corn breeding work and the
exposition. This fund was today
placed in the hands of a commission
consisting OF w r. Perkins, professor
OF agriculture Of Clemson college:
ID. n. Barrow Of the Clemson eX-
tension work. D. d. Hudson, president
of the Corn Breeders association, and
f.. j. Watson, commissioner of agri-
culture. Mr.. Hudson was elected
president OF the exposition. Approx
mately $4,000 has already been raised
by the exposition management. 1t is
expected that at least $4,000 will be
secured.
There was some duscission here to-
day as to the bringing of the National
Corn show to Columbia. a. G.. Smith
who accompanied the delegation to
Columbus, expressed the opinion that
the show would not come to Colum bia
this year but he believed that it will
be secured in three years when the
local corn exposition has grown to
larger proportions.
One Of the main drawbacks to the
bringing Of the exposition South was
the veto by Gov. Blease of the $4,000
for the State fair. In the opinion of
those discussing the situation the State
Fair Society will not be in a position
to erect a building large enough to
accommodate the exposition.
The conference of demonstration
agents will come to a close tomorrow
