Letter From Mr.. Latham.

Charleston, July 24.-Leon NJ.
Green, Columbia correspondent for
the News and Courier, has refused to
accede to the demands of his news
paper that he resign an appointment
recently received upon the staff of
Gov. Blease and says he viii resipn
as correspondent immediately. His
resignation Will be handed to the
head of the News and Courier's CO.

the latters reurn this week from a
Canadian tour.
Il resign under pressure" said Mr..
Green. Il can not comply with the
demand made on me. When [ was
appointed on the governors staff. l
accepted because Of the honor. and |
know that the position was given in
the right spirit. For the paper 1 rep
resented to seek to tell me that l
should resign either from the paper
or from the governors staff was. in
my opinion, an encroachment upon
my personal rights.
Il felt that | could still remain on
the governors staff, as | have always
sought to give unbiased reports of
official acts Of the chief executive of
the State.
The position taken by the paper
apears to me, and | have no doubt
will so appear to many others in the
Stae, untenable, for the particular
reason that the position occupied
here for the paper was that solely of
news correspondent, l had nothing

Mr.. Green Gives Out Letter.

Mr., Green last night gave out the
letter below which he stated had
been written him by Robert Latham,
the editor Of the News and Courier.
MIR. Latham said last night that he
had nothing to say concerning the
matter. Mr.. Lathan's letter to Mr..
Green is as follows:
Mr.. Leon NJ. Green. Columbia, S. c.
Dear Mr.. Green: have Just re-
ceived your letter Of July 20 and re-
gret very much to learn of your de-
termination to remain on the staff of
the governor rather than on that of
the News and Courier
''As l wrote Mr.. Kohn, I do not re-
gard it as proper for newspaper
correspondent to hold two such DO
sitions at the same ime; my under
standing of the matter being that the
acceptance of an appointment as one
Of a governors aides entails upon
the person accepting it responsible
ity of doing all that he can to up
hold whatever the governor may do
Il think il should be a rule Of the
paper that no one of it's staff should
occupy any position which might ex-
pose him To the criticism that his
impartially might be affected, wheth
not.
1T is the desire Of the News and
Courier to do every public Official
justice fairly and impartially, ana m
order to do so think the above me.
toned rule good one.
1T is true that Mr.. Kohn was at
one time an aide to a governor but
that was before | became editor Of
the paper.
i appreciate your offer to look
after matters connected with the bu-
reau until Mr. Kohn returns, but per-
present arrangement until that time,
allowing Mr.. Horton to cover what
ever may happen, as he has been
doing since you have been away from
Columbia.
Let me repeat to you personally
what | have already said to Mr..
Kohn, as head of the bureau, that
the News and Courier appreciates the
general excellence of the service you
have given it during the period Of
your connection with the paper, and
that | am genuinely sorry that you
have chosen to take a stand in this
matter, a most Important one as
see it. to which this paper can not
give its Endorsement.
Yours truly,
Robert Latham"

FIRE At NEW SUMTER.
Dresser, Warehouse and Supply
Room Burned at Loss OF $4,000
to $4,000.

a fire at the Belts Lumber COM
pany at New Sumter, originating
shortly after eleven O'Clock Monday
morning, did damage amounting TO
between $4,000 and $4,000, with an
insurance which covers about so
per cent. of the loss. The warehouse,
the dresser, the supply room. con-
siderable number of feet Of skidway
and about forty thousand feet OF
lumber were destroyed in the fire.
While it is not known positively
how the fire caught it Is supposed
that it caught from a spark from
passing locomotive, and il was not
until the fire had made considerable
headway that it was discovered. 1t
took some time to get control Of the
fire after work was commenced. bu,
the men who worked at the mill
were all called out to help and the
fire was finally eXtingulshed. Dur
ing the fire the train from Florence
came by and stopped long enough
TO run Ou' on a side track and haul
off d nur ber Of box cars which were
i'm dangerous proximity to the fire
and which would have been burned
but for the timely arrival Of the
train.

Gil to comply with the wishes Of the
people whom they represent and
whose agents they are.
The County Board Of Commission
ers, representing Sumter county.
which will be benefited by the build
ing OF the Seaboard through the
county To the extent of approx
mately 100000 in taxable values,
could. We believe, pledge substantial
aid to the Seaboard enterprise with
out violating any law. This action
would, of course. have to be validat-
ed by an Act of the Legislature,
but this is a mere detail, that, with
the cooperation Of the county leg
islative delegation. can be arranged.
County funds are now appropriated
for several worthy .objects not di-
rectly in line with the enforcement
Of law or the support of the several
department of the county govern
ment. If it is proper to appropriate
funds derived from the tax levied
for county purposes to the support
of the Sumter Light Infantry and to
the aid of the Sumter County Anti
tuberculosis League, then it would
be no stretch of the general welfare
clause to validate an appropriation
that will be the means of creating
property that will return, in the
form Of taxes, a sum that will repay
the appropriation in a few years.
If the legislature can make legal the
expenditure of county funds in the
manner above specified. then it can
legalize a specific grant in aid OF
an enterprise that will be Of great
benefit 10 the citizens Of the county
as individuals, and to the county the
source Of a large and continually in
creasing income.
We trust the committee of five ap-
pointed by the mass meeting OF citi-
zens will look closely into this aspect
of the matter when they come to de-
vising ways and means for providing
the funds required to carry out the
contract with the Seaboard. 1t can
not be gainsajd that the fairest and
most equitable way which could be
devised for raising the money nec-
essary would be by taxation, or the
direct appropriation Of public funds,
since in this way each person would
contribute his just and proper pro-
portion. Many large corporations
that cannot contribute to a fund
raised by popular subscription, even
though they desire to do so, would
In this way contribute their pro rata
share. and there Is no good reason
why the banks and other corpor-
ations that would be as directly and
largely benefited by the growth Of
the town and development OF the
tile establishment should escape
bearing a just share Of the burden
that compliance with the condi-
tions of the Seaboard proposition en-
tails. We believe that the County
Of Sumter should make a substantial
appropriation in aid Of the Seaboard
undertaking and that the City OF
Sumter should do likewise. We also
feel confident that a majority of all
fair-minded citizens will, when they
have given the matter mature consid-
GRAFTON, take the same view of it.

Home Made Dentrifice.

Tooth powder purchases make quite
an item in family expenses. Prices
for food stuffs are soaring and it
keeps the average person on the look
out for economy in all ways. Here is
a splendid formula, taken from den
tai journal and any one can mix it
at home. 1t makes enough to last a
family nearly year and possesses
many other advantages over high
priced labeled tooth preparations. For
less than dollar, one can make
three-fourths of pound This much
of labeled goods would cost three or
four dollars.
II whitens the teeth, prevents decay
and perfumes the breath. Buy separ-
ately five ounces of precipitated
chalk, one ounce powdered soap,
three ounces powdered sugar and
two ounces antiseptic vilane powder.
Put all in a paper sack shake and
mix very thoroughly. Keep in a tight
box or jar. Apply daily with tooth
brush. Many families in the east now
use this in preference to anything
else.

disregard OF the proper choice OF

All of these disagreeable and dang.

lies in the stomach, if the system is

Dogs in Ecclesiastical Decorations.

Dogs in Ecclesiastical Decorations.
The stained glass representation Of
the "Pedier and His Dog" to which
attention has been directed by the dis
coyery Of boundary stone Of Ped
ler's Acre." on the site OF the new
county hall, was removed from Lam
beth church quarter of a century
ago owing to the alleged incongruity
of introducing the figure of dog In a
church window. Quite recently Chan.
cellor Prescott of Carlisle refused q
faculty for stained glass window in
Westmoreland church because the
design included dog; and perhaps
the only existing examples of dogs
used for ecclesiastical decorations are
TO be found In Lord Brownlow's pri-
vate chapel at Ashbridge. In this
church one stained glass window de-
picts Tobias and Sara in bed and
