Prosperity, July 17.--Mr. ]. NJ
Wheeler died at his home on Sunday
at the age of a years and 10 months
Mr.. Wheeler had been in i'll health fol
some time, and while his death was
not entirely unexpected, the loss tc
his many friends and relatives is none
the less deeply felt.
Mr.. Wheeler was a very active man
all of his life until sickness cut short
his business career.
He was a Conferedate soldier, ser7-
ing as lieutenant in Company G, 18th
South Carolina regiment, until wound
ed at Sharpsburg, when he came home.
Remaining only until his wound heal
ed, he again answered the call of his
country and joined the cavalry, where
he remained until the end of the war.
Coming home from the war he set

Terrell Makes Hot Rejoinder.

Atlanta, July 15.-"My resignation
is with you and it is irrevocable. The
people will decide upon the proper
ness of your action" Thus said ]. N.
| Terrell today.
The above statement sums up the
situation tonight in the controversy
between Senator Terrell and Governor
Hoke Smith, who has just been elect
ed United States senator to succeed Mr..
Terrell, who was the ad interim ap-
pointee following the death Of Senator
Clay.
Following the governors statement
of last night, in which he declined to
accept the resignation of Mr.. Terrell,
the latter replied late today in one OF
the warmest political cards ever issu-
ed in a political contest in Georgia.
Says Problem Easily Solved.
In his letter, Mr.. Terrell declares
that it will be presumptuous for him
to return to Washington as senator,
after Governor Smith had been elected
to that position by the legislature. He
asserts that under no consideration
would he continue to discharge the
duties of that Office. # it is impera-
tive that Governor Smith remain IN
Georgia as governor, Mr.. Terrell says,
there is way in which he can accom-
plish that desire and still provide for
the full representation of the State in
the United States senate.
"The general assembly can elect an
other senator at once,' he declares.
Tells Smith How to Proceed.
eff you feel that you must stay here,
notify the general assemly that you
will not accept the senatorship, to
which you have been elected by it un-
der the assumption that you would go
to Washington at once. Then let the
general assembly fill this vacancy,
which it can do by Tuesday next
IF the senator so elected wishes to
do so, he may relinquish the discharge
OF the duties at your call, as you wish
me to do, and you may then give up
the governorship after the adjourn
ment of the present session of the leg
islature'

Newberry, S. c., July 6, 1911.
! S. MCGOWAN Sin1kins, Esq, Edgefeld
S. G.
My dear sir: I thank you for your
article in the News and Courier of yes
terday. It is all right, and while it
does not pretend to give the entire
speech, so far as it goes it is true
representation of some Of the thoughts
expressed. I heard that one of the
State officers feared that the speech
was an attack on the mills and the
negro labor. You know it was no such
thing. I attacked nobody as you will
willingly testify. tried hard to show
the difference between the business
methods used by other organized bod
les, and from that I tried to draw the
lessons for our farmers that to sue
ceed they would have to adopt busl-
ness methods in the conduct of their
affair; which l still contend is true,
and that does not mean or imply an
attack on anybody OF set of people, or
class of people. 1t is absurd to say
that because one points his fellowmaa
to better life and more correct
mode OF living, that is an attack on
the deS:l. 1t is Indirectly, for every
life that is tettered by such counsel is
one less for the kingdom of darkness.
So every farmer that I can get into
this organization and he will carry out
the teachings of that order, will he
one less victim for the predatory i'll
terests, all of which are combined.
From the farmers standpoint, I think
my position is impregnable.
I thank you for your kind words;
they are we'll written
Your friend,
J. B. O'Neall Holloway.

TERRELLL TRIES TO GIVE Up JOB
But Gov. Smith Won't Accept Sena-
tors Observation-Disclosures Cover
nOrshiD Awhile.

| Atlanta, July 14.-Governor Hoke
Smith this afternoon received the res
ignation of Senator J. NJ. Terrell. In
formal reply, the governor declined
to accept the resignation and request
ed the senator to continue to repre-
sent the State, at least during the
present session of congress.
IT cannot, in justice to myself nor
to the State, whose credentials have
been placed in your hands, undertake
to assume responsibility of such i'm
portance as appointing a senator"
said the governor, in reply to the
resignation.
Il hereby resign the senatorship of
Georgia, to take effect this day." was
the substance of Senator Terrell's let
ter.
In declining to accept Mr.. Terrells
resignation at this time, Governor
Smith points to precedents established
41 tho United States senate, showing
that Mr.. Terrell is the recognized sen
ator from Georgia, until the commits
sion expires, which he presented to
that body. The governor cited several
cases.
Not Ready to Don Togs.
Continuing, Governor Smith said:
'1t is not my purpose to send my Gre
dentia1s to the United States senate
during the present session of the leg
islature, and, therefore, you, during
that period, will be still one Of the
representatives of this State in the
United States senate, unless you insist
upon your resignation. :. AS I am 50
situated that it is impossible for me
to leave at present., I beg that you will
not assume the responsibility of de-
priving this State of one Of it's repre-
sentatives when votes are lad upon
important questions" .---r~~eE%Er~ p.

Governor Smith declined tonight to
state what steps would be taken to in

THE IDLER.

| wonder how many people obeyed
the order to observe July II as clean
ing up day? But then the delightful
rain came and saved many household
ers the unpleasant and laborious duty
of cleaning up. The beautiful rain
came down in torrents and just wash
ed all the germs and microbes right
on down into SCOTS creek. I don't
know what the people who live below
and whose COWS drink the water will
do about. I suppose they can have
the water distilled two or three times
and that will end the germ. Anyhow
the rain was great and will do lots Of
good in great many ways. I told you
the rains would come in good time and
that Nature and Natures God would
do things right and do them at the
right time. There is no need to worry
about the weather and the things over
which you have no control. The thing
for you to do is to do your duty and
do it every day and everything will
work out right.

the coli-group bacilli, to which the
typhoid bacillus belongs, and could be
the source of infection. The typhoid
bacillus was not Isolated, as this is a
very difficult matter, but the finding OF
the coli-group bacillus shows that the

human or animal faces, for "in the

We have visited and inspected the
dairies, and found them in good sani-
tary condition. The only point in
which they fail to come up to the re-
quirements Of the model dairy is that
the bottles are not boiled before being
filed with milk to be distributed to,
the public, and this fault has been
remedied.
From our investigation, although We
have not been able to positively trace

as it is possible to have them.

Of tho great number of accidents and
the various ordiances and laws on
the subject interesting with the per-
sonal privileges and rights of the
owners, I have about concluded to go
away off in the country and buy me a
farm. I want to get far enough away
to myself where I can enjoy genuine
American liberty, the kind that my
forefathers fought for-the right to do
as I please so long as I don't inter-
fere with the happiness or the proper
ty of my neighbors- In order to
do that I suppose I will have to buy
up all the land that adjoins me. There
are so many laws and ordinances now
that one does not know what to do,
or when he may be caught for yiolat-
ing some one Of them, and, you know,
some Judge has held-or may be it
is an axiom-that ignorance of the
law is no excuse. You may be ever
50 innocent so far as intention goes,
and yet be guilty of violating the law,
and if the authorities want to bring
you up they can do it. And then you
may go on violating the law and the
ordinances and if the authorities don't
want to bring you up you are never

now to begin the planting of shrub

has offered the city twenty acres OF
land for a park. I was hoping that
some one in Newberry would make a
donation of something like that, but I
am afraid to suggest it, for if it were
done it might cause paralysis or heart
failure or pellagra or some other ter
ribie disease. Mr.. Burton has made d
nice donation. A similar one from
twenty other good citizens would fix
the thing all right, but when some of

park is a great thing and Newberry
ought to have one and then they come
