QUESTION OF WHAT WAS SAID.
Correspondents Differ With Governor
As to How IT, Came About.

Correspondents Differ With Governor
As to How H. Came About.
During last week the News and
Courier printed from its Columbia cor
respondent, Mr.. w. F. Caldwell, a
statement to the effect that Spartan
burg man had declared in Columbia
that Jones would beat Blease 1000 in
Spartanburg. In Spartanburg later
Governor Blease said that John Gary
Evans was the man quoted, and the
governor went on to say that there Is
a man in Columbia who has 81 900 that
Blease will beat Jones in Spartanburs.
John Gary Evans denied that he had
made any statement to Mr.. Caldwell
he held the opinion expressed but he
had not been in Columbia and had not
talked to Mr.. Caldwell. Mr.. Caldwell
denied that he had told Governor
Blease that Evans was the man he
was quoting. The Spartanburg Her
aid of Sunday contains the following:
Columbia, May 11.-W. F. Caldwell,
Columbia correspondent of the Charles
ton News and Courier, tonight gave
out the following statement denying
the statement by Governor Blease:
"On Thursday last Governor Blease,
in his outer Office, in the presence of
Rowe of the Atlanta Journal, and my
self, his stenographer and private Sec
retary also being present, asked me If
John Gary Evans didn't give me the
Information which was printed in the
News and Courier relative to the pre-
diction that Judge Jones would carry
Spartanburg by 1000 majority and he,
the governor, said, Il bet it was
Evans"
II did not reply to him, simply
stating that wasn't giving the source
of my information. l never mentioned
John Gary Evans name during the
conversation"
The foregoing Is substantially what
occurred according to my recollection.
(Signed) "R. H. Rowe.
Representing Atlanta Journal"
Mr.. Caldwell's account of the inter-
view in the governors office Is correct.
(Signed) wv A. Taylor,
Representing Columbia Record"
Governor Blease was asked here
yesterday by reporter If he had seen
the statement made by Mr. Caldwell.
He is reported to have replied:
Yes, Mr.. Caldwell Is mistaken, and
I'll tell you just what happened. When
Mr.. Caldwell said that he had heard
that Spartanburg county would give
Jones a majority of 1000, asked him
where he got his information. At first
he did not tell. / told him knew and
that 1t was from John Gary Evans.
Mr. Caldwell at first did not admit or
deny that Mr.. Evans was the source
of his information. He later admitted
that Evans was the man."

On being asked what it is that is
under the Underwood woodpile," the
Charlotte Observer replies that it is
the presidential nomination if any
thing" We are quite aware Of this,
but who is that presidential nomina-
tion for-the one they have been try
ing to get under the Underwood wood
pile? The Observer surely does not
mean to tell us that it thinks this
is for Underwood.

But Senator Tillman certainly un-
derstands that however easy it may be

to carry a primary election, especially

there are so few-so very few-votes

According to the Atlanta Journal, all
of the Underwood supporters are real
ly Champ Clark folks. Where they
feared their ability to beat Wilson with
Clark, they used Underwood with an
understanding among themselves that
after Underwood they would vote for
Clark. But we will see what we will
see. Some slick things are done in
this game of politics.

The News and Courier suggests that
if Senator Tillman does not believe
what he has CLEANED from the newspa-
pers with reference to the manipula-
tion of conventions, he should not en-
ter into such a serious discussion of
the subject. There is food for thought
in the suggestion, even admitting the
fact that none of us believe all we see
in the newspapers.

As to Sparins tho Rod.
A teacher at a certain public school
in the county, is very proud OF note
she received from q patron recently.
For the sake Of discipline in the school
and for the benefit of the boy, the
teacher had to resort to the rod Now
some people object nightly to the use
of the rod on their children. It Is all
right ON other children; but not on
theirs. Teachers, however, have a
kind of view that the rod is absolute
ly necessary sometimes, but rarely run
upon boy or girl either that approves
the rod as applied to themselves.
When the rod is applied, the natural
expectation is that II parents say any
thing at all, they are going to say
something ugly. The little boy In
question was just like any other little
boy, and did not need whipping any
more than lots of others; but he need
ed 1t and got it. When the teacher re-
ceived a note next day, her first an
ticipation was that she was up against
the usual unpleasantness; but great
was her pleasure and satisfaction
when she read something like this: Il
am sorry j needed a whipping
yesterday; but since he evidently did
I am glad he got it, and / very much
appreciate the kind interest you show
ed in him when you gave it to him.
hope that as the result Of this whip
ping, which j got, he will not re-
quire another soon; but If he does re-
quire another, l hope you will not fall
to lay it on as hard as may be neces-
sary. l very well understand how un-
pleasant this kind Of work Is to you,
and it pains me somewhat to know
that my boy should cause you this
trouble. If it were not for the fact
that. now realize how was benefit
ed by the lickings l got when / was
boy, and how much lost because Of
some lickings / did not get, / would
feel humiliated about this maybe; but

BABES OF STRIKERS
TO RECEIVE HOMES
More Than 100 Children Are
Taken From Lawrence, Mass.
i To New York.

j New York, Feb. 13.-An innovation
in labor war tactics was tried Satur-
day night by the distribution here Of
119 children, whose parents are en-
gagged in the textile strike at Lawrence,
Mass. Their arrival had been heralded
las due early in the afternoon, u w
ing to failure to make train connec-
lions at Boston the children did not ar
live until Ave hours later, and during
that time a crowd of several hundred
socialists stood sh1vcring in the Grand
Central station, awaiting their coming.
Red banners and a large number Of
Socialistic emblems were borne by the
crowd, and when at last the train ar
seillaise," and mighty cheers We're
given.
At the labor temple, to which they
were taken, the children were ranged
around long tables, where hot, steam
ing soup, rice, potatoes and other veg
stables& were consumed with enthusi-
asm, as the youngsters had nothing to
eat all day except a scanty breakfast
at Lawrence and sandwiches brought
with them. By Ii time the meal was
over the children were feeling happy
enough to cheer and sing the Mar
seillaise."
A large number Of people packed
outside the doors took up the words
Of the revolutionary hymn and it was
sung and resung.
Among the large number of persons
who gathered to offer to take care of
the children were Mrs. o. II. P. Bel
mont and Rev. Percy Stickney Grant,
pastor Of the Church of the Ascension.
Mrs. Belmont and the minister We're
denied, however, being told there were
more h 700 applicants and only 119
children.
