WILSON IN RICHMOND.
NEW JERSEY EXECUTIVE
CHEE,RED BY VIRGINIANS,
Says He Is an Organization Man as
Long as Organization is Used for
Public Purposes.

Eichmond. Va, Feb. -Four
the usand people, including members
of the general assembly and big del
cgationS :rom Woodrow Wilson clubs
IN Richmond, Staunton and Char
lottesville, gave Gov. Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey a hearty demon
stration when he delivered an address
on THE Democratic Opportunity" at
the city auditorium tonight. A large
part of the audience had expected to
hear some reference to the Harvey
Watterson- Wilson incident, but the
governor passed it over in silence.
There was some applause when he
declared that he was not an insurgent
but an organization man, adding that
a partys success is impossible with
out organization.
THE difference between organiza-
tion and a machine" he said, lis
that organization Is the systematic
cooperation Of men for common
purpose. while machine is the sys-
tematic cooperation Of men for q
private purpose"
On his arrival here this morning
Gov Wilson was met by a reception
committee and escorted TO local
ho,el for breakfast. AT IL o'clock he
delivered an address to the students
of Richmond College.
II urge you." he said to the stu
rents, that in making up your minds
on the questions which now confront
us as a nation you will not let your
judgment be disturbed by people who
call names" This was construed by
some Of his friends as a reference 10
the Henry Watterson statement.
In his address before the State SEN
ate he said that there is genuine COM
munity Of feeling OH public questions.
THE modern newspaper has had
much to do with it," he continued
but am inclined TO place the great
est credit elsewhere. While l have
no quarrel with most newspapers
and believe as a rule they give us a
mirror OF the times. 1 believe that
there are bad ones among them, par
ticularly few OF them owned by
certain men, These. 1 think, ought
to be Disseminated against"
In closing. he said:
Il am glad to have had an oppor-
tunity to appear before you. I have
wanted to let you see that I at least
appear to be an honest man."
The governors address in the
house. like that in the senate, was
brief. This afternoon he met hun
dreds of citizens at a reception given
In his honor. Nothing. however
touched him so deeply as the pres
ence of 26s members Of the Wood
row Wilson club of Staunton, IN
which town he was born. The Staun-
ton delegation marched through the
streets behind band. creating much
enthusiasm.
w. +. McCombs. the governors
manager. was in conference for some
time with Richard Evelyn Byrd
speaker of the Virginia house Of
delegates, which led to the report
that Mr.. Byrd would look after
Gov. Wilson's interests in Virginia
Mr.. McCombs announced that Gov.
Wilson had today accepted an invi-
tation extended by the Kentucky
legislature to deliver an address at
Frankfort on February 8.

Disease Raging Among EOsS O. Tor
ence COunty.-Epidcmic Reaches
Such Proportions that Clemson Ex-
pertS are Called to Assistance.

Such Proportions that Clemson F1x-
perts are Called to Assistance.
Florence Jan. Sit is estimated
that there has been a loss in this
county of $4,000 from the effects Of
hog cholera that has been spreading
among the hogs at a great rate re-
Gently, so that Clemson College has
had to be appealed to for a veteri-
marian to come down and look into
the matter. He has been here for
several days trying to put a stop to
the spread of the disease.
Nearly all Of the farmers have had
some loss to sustain in the matter,
but the heaviest loser that has been
reported is Mr.. Charles Luhrs, who
has lost something like sixty Ave
hogs, valued at about $40 Jach.
The most serious phase Of the trou-
BILE seems to be that some who lost
their hogs do not seem to be as
careful as they might, and are not
complying with the law, which was
made to prevent the spread of such
diseases. 1t is said that the dead
animals are thrown out into the
woods and are there attacked by
the buZzards and the dogs and the
germs are scattered far and wide.
The law in such cases is specific
md it is as follows:
Section 439, Code of 1912: When
ever any swine shall die from any
natural cause whatsoever the owner
or owners Of such dead swine, upon
notice thereof, shall Immediately
burn or bury. or cause to be burned
or buried, such dead swine, and when
buried it shall be put not less than
three feet under ground. The own
er or owners Of any dead swine who
shall violate the provisions of this
section shall be guilty Of a misde-
meanor, and upon conviction there
of shall be fined in n sum of not
more than $40 nor less than SIS, or
be imprisoned for a period Of not
more than thirty days"
If the people in the naighborhood
of those who are careless as to leave
their dead animals out where they
may become a menance to the rest
of the community wish to invoke the
aid of the law they have abundant
law to proceed under and the first
case pressed would be a lesson which
would not be soon forgotten.
There is no doubt Of the fact that
the buzzards carry the disease and
that dogs do, and that the air gets
polluted with the germs of death
from the stricken hogs.
Ten thousand dollars loss in this
county in a few weeks is a very heavy
loss coming on the top OF the fail
ure in the cotton crop, is a very Sc
we're blow to the county and the far
mers are getting uneasy about the
situation, and they wish to have
something done 10 stop the ravages
of the cholera ard the loss of so
much valuable meat. for meat is
never too plentiful in Florence or
anywhere else.

SOilSiucHcu.
Columbia, Feb. 1.-The Senate this
morning passed TO third reading the
bill to create a State warehouse
system, heard lengthy debate on
the bill to grant equal privileges to
graduates Cf the state Hospital for
the Insane as are granted other
graduate nurses in the State, heard
some debate on the concurrent reso-
luton calling for an investigation into
the charges" of the Governor
against the State Treasurer, and pass
ed over the Governors veto q bin TO
provide an assistant superintendent
of education for Spartanburg Coun-
ty.
The Senate passed over the veto Of
the Governor, by a vote of 20 to 0,
bill TO provide for assistant super
intendents Of education for counties
of population between $4,000 and
$4,000. Spartanburg is the only
tion within these limits, so that the
measure is at present purely local.
The Senate heard a lengthy debate
on the second reading bill to create
State warehouse SYSTEM. the bill
providing for an appropriation of
$250.000 for the establishment of the
system and an annual appropriation
of $4,000 for the maintenance of it.
Senator w. l.. Mauldin opposed the
bill on the ground that the State can
not now bear such heavy expense
when there are SO many other causes
calling for aid. Senator Alan
Johnstone favored the bill, as did
.'enatOr Strait. Senator Strait waXed
warm in his call to the legislators to
help the farmers, who are being op-
pressed today by the trusts of the
country, which control the nations
finances SO that the farmers are able
to get heir hands on very little of
the money in circulation. He referred
sarcastically to King Teddy Roose-
velt' as an encourager of monopoly.
He blamed "our Internal banking
system for the condition of the cot
ton market today.

morn and prepared to give their
stanch supporters free ride to the

give them ride in except a wheel.

Democrats always claimed that this
lack of transportation cost them the
election of at least one man, Lester
Petrie, to the Board OF Supervisors.
Something like twenty-four ma
chimes have been staked out with a
Democratic sign on them for election
day this year.
Two years ago the Democrats were
poverty-stricken in the extreme. Now
there seems to be considerable activ-
ity in the campaign fund line and a
corresponding rise in the tide of hope
