ment made by Gov. Blease today.
He (Blease( substantiates his statement
by the af1davits Of men who have been
convicted of felonies and pardoned by him
and by men who are under indictment for
grating in South Carolina. Further than
that the reply that will be made to him
will be as soon as he is relieved OF his
gubernatorial irobes.
ut is just as certain that he will be
landed in the penitentiary as it is that the
Ohio grafters, the Atlantic City grafters,
the McNamaras, Abe Ruef OF San Francis

placed behind the bars. ="

dreaded worm was first discovered early

worms have confined themselves prlncl-
uaIy to the bottoms, but they are now go
ing into cocoons and in five days will
hatch into moths and butterflies, which
the experts say will be scattered by the
winds in all directions. Several Clemson
experts are on the scene and are urging
immediate action. which is being given
freely by the people Of all sections or the
county. Two or more entOmOlogists are
expected from Clemson tomorrow morn
ing and by noon it is expected that sys'

of its foliage and literally devastating all
green things that comes in its way. I'm
less the ravages of the worm are checked
il is feared that the crops OF the county
will be destroyed and from this county
the pest will spread to other counties
Up to tonight the worms have played but
little havoc in the cotton fields principally
because they have been fought back by
the farmers who have gathered in large
numbers in the infected districts. The

The new sidewalk to Fort Pickens. the
movement for which was fathered by Alder

and appears to be very creditable piece OF

Improvement was much needed, as pedes-

longer be necessary. The sidewalk was
constructed on the right Of way OF the
RAILROAD, the company having granted
permission, on the request Of Mr.. syfan.

COOPERATIVE PAVING.

In leading editorial on the advan-
tages of the cooperative paving plan
the Houston Post makes this frank
admission:
Houston can not construct twenty
two miles of permanent pavement
within year under present condi-
tions, but Dallas or Fort Worth can
and they are doing 1t, and they are I'M
proving more rapidly than Houston Is
on that account. Give Houston a SIM
liar paving policy and the entire city
will be paved within ten years and a
modern, clean city will result. Hous-
ton is not in reality modern, clean
city, because of the woeful lack OF
street pavaments. The town has been
knee deep In mud for month and the
comparatively few paved streets have
been rendered filthy by the mud
brought by vhicles from the mud
lanes"

siye democrats OF Ohio mentioning
him as their choice for the Presidency,
William J. Bryan said yesterday more
positively than ever before that he
will not be candidate. Yet It is vain

efforts Of his traducers to make the
people believe that gaining the presi-
dency is the object OF all his efforts.
Being incapable of unselfish patriot

GOVERNOR HARMON AND THE
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS
OF OHIO.

The Progressive Democratic League
Of Ohio, including delegates from al
most every county in the state, met
yesterday in the state capital and
passed resolutions, of which this is
a sample:
"That the suggestion of the nomi.
mating of any other than known,
tried and true progressive democrat
brings Immediately to our memory the
disastrous defeat of 1904, when in
Ohio Parker lost the state by more
than 253,OO0; out of the "a congress
men, we lost 20; out of $50 officers,
we lost 400; and out of SS counties,
we lost H."
While this does not mention Gov
ernor Harmon, it Is an unmistakable
condemnation of his candidacy for the
presidency. In the speeches, the gov
ernor was mentioned only incidentally.
Several of the delegates, including the
chairman, former Congressman Lentz,
eulogized William ]. Bryan, and every
mention of the name of the great Ne
braskan was cheered. In the preamble
these words plainly refer to Mr..
Bryan:

Referring to the fact that the CON-
mittee gave Mr.. Bryan the place OF
honor on the program of the Jackson
Day dinner, the Houston Post makes
this belated admission: "The right Of
free speech always transcends the pro-
priety of speech, so Mr.. Bryan has
perfect right to stir up the monkeys to
his hearts content" After what the
Post has been publishing about the
Distinguished Nebraskan recently, this
Is refreshing.
