DINNER SERVED BY
KINGS DAUGHTERS
WAS A RECORD BREAKER IN
POINT OF NUMBERS FED AND
RECEIPTS TAKEN IN.

The dinner served by the Kings
Daughters at the old Frierson build
ing on the north side of the square
Monday was one Of the most delight
full of the many that this organization
of excellent ladies have served to the
public in Columbia. In quantity and
quality of service it could not have
been excelled. There was an immense
crowd in the city and when one was
fed he went out and told others Of
the superior character of dinner to be
had there and they in turn became
advertisers, with the result that it
was record breaker. And 1t was
a record breaker in more ways than
one. The volume of numbers could
not have been served but for the vol
ume of contributions for the dinner.
There was something over six hun
dred fed during the short time be-
tween IL o'clock and the beginning
of the speaking at the court house,
and the ladies' have expressed them
selves as being grateful for the gen.
crosby both in the contributions and
the patronage, for it meant a neat
sum for the work of the order.

NO REQUEST MADE
HAMMOND BY THE
STATE COMMIT TEE
CHAIRMAN MORTON SAYS He
ASKED FOR NO JOINT DE-
BATE WITH SENATOR LEA
rice PIERCE SAYS 50 ALSO
Both chairmen Declare That They
Did Not Ask Hammond to chaI-
Ienge Senator for Joint Discus
sion at Columbia on Monday.

Again it will be necessary for Can
didate Hammond to do some explain
ing. He stands convicted by his own
crowd of making representations
about the state democratic committee
that are not suhstantiated by the rec
ords.
1t will be recalled that Patterson
Candidate Hammond few days ago
sought some advertising by address
ing a challenge to Senator Luke Lea
asking for joint debate. In this
letter Patterson-C Candidate Hammond
said: Il haze also been requested
from state democratic headquarters
at Nashville to meet you in Columbia
on next Monday"
Now Chairman J. D. G. Morton, OF
the state democratic committee, al.
though violent partisan of Gov. Pat
terson, does not agree with Mr.. Ham
mond on this statement, in fact he ex-
pressly contradicts Mr.. Hammond. In
q letter to Senator Lea, Mr.. Morton
says: II know nothing Of any re.
quest from the state democratic head
quarters to Mr.. L. H. Hammond to
meet you in Columbia next Monday"
And Patterson-Nominee Hammond
is also very fatty contradicted by
Chairman Rice A. Pierce, Of the state
campaign democratic committee. Mr..
Pierce, in letter to Senator Lea
says: Il have not mad anything to
do with the matter"
The following is the letter from
Hammond to Senator Lea, and also
the letters from Chairman Morton
and Chairman Pierce in the order
named. In this connection it should
be stated that even among Ham
mond's supporters 1t Is hardly proba-
Bile that there will be any disposi-
ton to challenge the truthfulness of
statements made by Messrs. Morton
and Pierce.
The following is Hammond's letter
to Lea:
mt. Pleasant, Tenn, Oct. 2, 1912.
Senator Luke Lea, Nashville, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
Il see that you are to be in Column
bia on October 7th, to speak in the
interest of the fusion ticket for the

pointment TO speak there on the

quested from the state democratic

Write to me, or wire if necessary,
as to whether or not you will accord
me a division of time.
