A Successful Interview.-The late
Arthur McEwan when he was working
on a San Francisco newspaper was at
tracted by the activities Of politician
who was vulgar, illiterate and hideous-
ly ungrammatical in his method Of ex-
preston. McEwan looked up this man
and had a telk with him. Then he
went back to the office and wrote the
interview in the most perfect English,
brilliant polished, and crammed the
story full Of classical illusions, quota
tions and big words. 1t was most
scholarly production and McEwan con-
sidered the satire great. Next day
McEwan had a call from the politician.
Il wanter thank yez for that inter-
view," he said. IT'S bully. Just what

Of Local Interest.
Gastonia Gazette, July 16: Just as
we go to press word has come that
Rev. ]. ]. Kennedy died at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. The death Of this good
man was not unexpected, for his life
has been hanging by thread for the
past several weeks and he has been
kept alive mainly by the force of his
iron will and the use of stimulants.
Chester Reporter, July 16: Chester
"whitewashed" Yorkville Thursday af-
ternoon in the game on the local
grounds for the benefit Of the Patter-
son Library, but unfortunately threat
ening weather kept the receipts and
attendance down. John Harvey Har-
din was in the box for Chester and
pitched a mastery game. Slaughter,
of Hickory Grove, pitched for Yorkville
and with a catcher able to hold him
would have been invincible. He IL cas-
lily one Of the best pitchers that ever
performed on the local grounds, ttnd the
attendance was greatly impressed with
his work. The game was without fea-
ture except the general excellence OF
the locals field play. The score was
to 0, and the batteries were: Chester,
Hardin and Glenn; Yorkville, Slaugh-
ter Plaxco, and Smith. .... Mr.. Albert
Hamilton, of R F. D. l. who clerks in
the store of his brother, Mr.. w. H.
Hamilton, at Edgmoor, had narrow
escape from drowning Friday after
noon when he drove into stream near
Lando that had been badly swollen
from a recent rain, and as 1t was Mr..
Hamilton was powerless to save the
mule he was driving, the animal being
drowned Mr.. Hamilton had driven
home and was returning to Edgmoor
when the accident occurred. The
stream in question Is usually not dan
gerous, but recent rains had caused 1t
to rise.

Heckling Governor WiIson.-Time

honored party tactics were pursued
by an old Republican warhorse, Ebe-
EbeneZer j. Hill of Connecticut, in
the house, when he raked up some
of Gov. Wilson's casual remarks out
of the past. The chief thing presented
was an attack upon labor unions The
object of the employee is ito give as
little as he may for his wages" Gov.
Wilson was quoted as declaring in an
old sermon, Labor is standardized by
the trade union and this is the stand
ard to which ii is made to conform" "
Mr.. Hill, of course. went on to glOrify
the great, selfrespecting labor organ
iZations" and to turn them against
Gov. Wilson so far as his Republican
voice could do so.
There will doubtless be plenty of
this anti-Wilson campaigning before
November. The speeches and writ
ings of the Democratic candidate are
legion and the possibilities for critic
ism endless. But we do not believe
that the bulk of such talk will have
any influence, whatever. 1t raises, to
be sure. the old political question of
the safe" candidate versus the out
spoken candidate with a candid re-
cord. Politicians always cling to the
former But the voters are very apt
to prefer the latter in tbs days.
The real hesitation in the minds of
the many voters anxious to cast a
Democratic ballot next November is
of quite another character. 1t relates
not so much to Gov. Wilson's past
words as to his present. convictions,
their nature and their stability. His
earlier opinions are of interest only
in the few instances where they can
throw light upon this question. And
for the best evidence on this vital
point the voters are looking to Gov.
Wilson's own words now to be spoken
in exposition of his views upon the
pressing national questions of the hour.

The Real Gus DeFord.-Some mis-
understanding has arisen over the
similarity Of the names Of Gus De-
Ford, the safe cracker who escaped
from the United States secret service
men several years ago, and James
Johnson, alias Gus DeFord, alias Ed
ward Murphy, alias Portland Ned,
alias, etc., the convict at the state
penitentiary whom Henry N. Porter
one of Burns detectives, beguiled
Sam ]. Nichols Of Spartanburg into
believing was the heir to a large for
tune which he could not inherit unless
he were pardoned. DeFord was only
one of James Johnson's numerous
aliases. He admitted last Sunday to
a representative Of The State that
Henry n. Porter, the Chicago lawyer,
had visited him twice, but was re-
ticent about the nature Of their con-
versations.
The Gus DeFord who escaped from
the secret service men near Flor
ence a few years ago is possibly the
most notorious cracksman and
knight of the jimmy" in the world.
He was captured by Uncle Sam after
a long chase only to escape by leap
ing from a swiftly moving train near
Florence. DeFord has never been ap-
pretended, although the secret service
men have not given up the search for
him. DeFord has four small moles on
his right cheek, a hooked nose and
prominent jawbones.
James Johnson, alias Gus DeFord,
the convict whom Burns used for es-
tablishing his dictagraph evidence
against Sam Nichols, was sent to the
penitentiary from Spartanburg in Au-
gust, 1911, for cracking the safe of
the Enoree Manufacturing company.
He was sentenced to 10 years impri-
sonment. Johnson, alias DeFord, Is a
man Of medium height with brown
hair, yellowish eyes, and bullet shap-
ed head.
Judging from his demeanor when
told that Henry n. Porter, the Chi
cago lawyer, who visited him with a
promise Of getting a pardon, was one
of William ]. Burns detectives. john
son or DeFord really believed the
yarn as did the attorney associated
with Porter.-Columbia State.

All this appears in the official rec
ord, but you cut 1t out wherever 1t
appeared, and instead you published
all the wild words alleged to have
been uttered by Mr.. Nichols after he
had been made drunk by Porter for a
purpose; and that, too, when yoy
knew that he was drunk, for Porter
had confessed in these records that
he had piled him with quart of
Scotch whisky. Why did you suppress
that part of the record made when he
was sober? Was this not a suppress
sion Of facts and perversion of the
truth? Was this right and just and
fair and in accordance with the high
ideals of honorable journalism?
When this man Porter found that
Mr. Nichols was incorruptible, and
that Mr.. Nichols regarded the gov
ernor as incorruptible, occupying as
Porter did, the confidential position of
a brother attorney associated in a
common cause, and while Mr.. Nichols
was in his room he deliberately went
to work to make Mr.. Nichols drunk
in order ia take advantage of him.
Porter cOnfesses that he piled Mr..
Nichols with a quart Of Scotch whis-
ky before he left Porters room, so
that when they started to tho train to
go to Baltimore he hardly knew
where he was going.
When Mr.. Nichols reached Balti-
more Porter still posing as a reputable
attorney, had laid his trap in a pri-
vate room at the hotel whittier he

me that he had given up drinking
and he and his friends assure me that
he had not taken q drink for some
time. But this fellow, under the
guse of friendship and hospitality. in
1uced him to break his resolution, and
when he arrived in Baltimore and
went to his room he was still under
the spell of the liquor with which
Porter had piled him. This last fact
Is shown by the wild record of the

WILL
 GO 10 ANNAPOLIS Will Meet Governor and Legislators Informally
 Monday Night

Washington, March 22.--(Special Jos tion to meet the governor and members of the legislature of Maryland informally Monday night Mr. Underwood will be tho guest of honor at a buffet luncheon to be given at Annapolis after the reception at the capitol There will be no set speeches.
 Mr. Underwood has been invited to make formal address before the Mary land legislature, but found it inconyenlent to do so with the pressure of legislative business at Washington He had declared that he would have no time during the present session of Congress to make speeches outside, and he has turned down many invitations from many sections of the country.
 At the luncheon Monday night there will probably be a number of short informal speeches. and MT. Underwood of course will make short response, but there will be nothing in the way of set speech.
 Word has come to Washington that the legislators of Maryland are greatly impressed with the leadership of MT. Un- derwood and have sought an opportunity for closer acquaintance. The democratic voters of the state are also said to be watching his congressional work with interest.
 Senator Bankhead and other friends of the Alabamian believe that Underwood has a chance of capturing some substan- tial support from Maryland.
