priceless possession is the heritage OF
South Carolinians. No people has a
richer or prouder past. What the
future holds in store for us no man
may know, but there are roseate tints
just above the eastern horizon, har-
binger of a day brighter than any Of
the days which have gone before. Ma
terial prosperity has blessed US, and
the moral and intellectual uplift of our
people is going steadily forward. The
fertility of our soil has as yet been
barely tested, but it has broken
worlds records in the production Of
corn, and the cotton manufactures
are constantly being brought to our
cotton fields.

We do not believe it. South Caro-

lization which has been wrought out
of the past, and in which our great
and peculiar institutions have been
builded. 1t behooves them now to
work together in a common purpose
for the upbuilding of their State, and

And, by the way, congratulations to
Dick Greneker, of The Herald and
News staff, who got mad thousand
times during the campaign, but who
kept cool, nevertheless, and came
through without whipping anybody
or getting whipped.
To the Gaffney Ledger and the
Greenwood Daily Journal and the
Florence Times, we extend our sym
pathy,
To our good friend, the Orangeburg
Tiaes and Democrat we.swant to say
that we hope it will some day under
stand why things are as they are.
To all those newspapers which took
unkind filings at The Herald and News
during the campaign, and since, we
want to say that we have come out OF
the campaign with malice towards
none.
We hope the Greenwood Daily Jour
nal will continue to help Greenwood
grow greater" The Journal can no
doubt lend greater assistance in this
worthy undertaking, now that the
smoke of battle has rolled away and
the Journal is no longer at Armaged-
don, battling for the Lord" While
We are on the subject of the Journal,
we want to say, in the kindest spirit,
that we believe it will do it's editor a
great deal of good to take off those
green glasses through which he sees
those on the other side of the political
fence only as a "lawless element"
We hope the Laurens Advertiser will
wage fine battle for that girls col
lege for Laurens, and that Laurens
will establish a girls college and
make it one of the finest in the South.
The Advertiser in it's last issue had
an editorial in which it did not take
defeat as gracefully as it might have,
but we are sure when the Advertiser
gets warmed up in it's efforts for the
Laurens college it will forget all about
fraud in elections and bow in the prop
er spirit to the express will Of the ma
jority, as all good Democrats should.
The Gafney Ledger has severe
pain as a result of the way the State
went. and as a result of the way the
good old county of Cherokee went We
have no doubt when the Ledger woke
I'D on the morning after the election
it was surprised to find the world
swinging along in the same old
grooves, to the sweet melody of the
universe. All the Ledger needs, how
ever, is a good dose of calomel.
We are not going to call attention
to those prediction prophecies. we
saved some of them, but let them rest.
Let the dead past bury its dead. Let's
all be good friends again, and work
together for the best interests Of the
best State in the Union.
There was great deal of bitterness

20,00O Are Homeless.

Tallulah, La, April 25.-Flood con- ditions in northeast Louisiana are in- describable. The imagination can scarcely picture the scenes of desola- tion and destruction. The loss result ing from the great crevasses in the west levees of the Mississippi which have inundated large areas of eleven prosperous parishes, may total more than fifteen million dollars. It will be few weeks longer. Perhaps twenty fe wweeks longer. Perhaps twenty thousand already are homeless and down in Concordia, Tensas and La Salle parishes hundreds of others will he forced to move out, as the flood continues towards the Red River Valley.

WARNS DAIRYMfN
 AGAINST VIOLATIONS
CITY PHYSICIAN LOWE SAYS PURE MILK ONLY MUST BE
 DELIVERED
Dairymen Will Organize-Live Stock Is Also To Be Examined and
 Killed If Diseased.

After thorough explanation ol the general laws of the board Of health of Pine Bluff to about fifty dairymen who dispose of their pro- duct here, City Physician w. T. Lowe yesterday at the city hall closed his talk with the suggestion that the dairymen form themselves into ali association for the purpose of hand ling milk and butter ill sanitary manner and to solve other problems that confront them in fheir dairy work.
 The suggestion was readily accept ed and though no definite time was set at which to form the organization several of the dairymen stated their willingness to push the projec'. and a meeting may be held shortly for that purpose.
 Dr Lowe called the dairymen to- gether for the purpose of instruct ing and familiarizing them with the requirements of the law which will be enforced by the city board oi health. The meeting was held at the city hall and consumed a little over an hour.
 He told them pointedly that the dairy houses must be cleaned up. and screened, and that the wagons in which the milk is delivered should also be in sanitary condition. He warned them of the bad effect Q, using preseryasives in the milk and suggested that the milk should be placed in bottles and sealed i'm smediately after being obtained, The Emethod of hauling the milk around the city. and measuring. out small

quantities with the wind blowing dust and germs into ,he product was bad one and the sealed bottles would obvia,e -his.
 An important feature which Dr. Lowe placed much stress ueon Was the fact that the Board of Health would in 9 short time have q Yesolu- tion passed by the city counrii re- qulrin2 all milk cows to be eXaseine6 for tuberculosis and those u are found inoculaed will be condemned.
 One dairyman took issue with the ruling that the board could enforce these laws, but City Attorney w. E. Alexander, who was present read the decision of the supreme court in the case of this nature which was taken to the highest tribunal by a Little Rock daryman who had been convinced of selling impure milk. The lower court found against the dairyman and the supreme court affirmed the decision.

TAFT REFU1fS
 R0OSEYfL1'cc CHARGES
SURPRISED BOSTONIANS BY HIS DENIAL OF EX-PRESIDENT'S
 ACCUSATIONS.
DenOHnces Teddy's Third Term As. piratfOns and Says He is Not in
 Accord With Principles.

Boston, April 25.-Summing up in the most powerful language that he has yet used in the present campaign the charges made against him by for mer President Roosevelt, President Taft tonight electrified a large crowd by refuting accusations and explain ing points dwelt upon by his predeces sor. .,i ik RI
 Mentioning in every first line of his speech the ! name of Theodore Roosevelt, which he had previously secuted, Presidant Taft immediately plunged into a ,lengthy discussion of tie charrggss agafM him and his ad- ministration, placing these accusa- tions under eleven distinct heads and concluding with what he termed "one of the most painful duties of my life. . The denunciation of MT. Roosevelt's s third term aspirations.
 After touching upon the events preceding his election to the presiden- cy, including brief resume of his re- lationsi with the former chief execu- tive, President Taft mentioned the Col umbus speech as an indication lof his former chiefs lack of accord with the principles of the Republican par ty."
 Following statement that were it merely upon himself that Roosevelt was making the charge, he would ig- nore them, the president said that he was forced to uphold the principles of the Republican party and that therefore he felt compelled to answer Colonel Roosevelt's accusations rela- tive to the "favoring of an oligarchy, the Lorimer case, Reciprocity, false charges of fraud and patronage, boss ism, the Interstate Commerce Bill ot 1910, special privileges and the Trust records of two administrations"
 Mir. Taft's address tonight was partly a repetition of his remarks ear- Her in the day at Springfield and Wor- cester and his car platform speeches at Palmer and West Brookfield.

N Monroe, La, April 25.-Company D., of the Louisiana National Guards, stationeid at Monroe, left here this af- ternoon for Delhi, La, thirty miles East, where serious troubles with ne- groes developed last night. One ne- gro was lynched and further trouble was anticipated. The trouble, which resulted in the lynching is attributed to surliness of negro flood refugees, many of whom have refused ,o work since the government began distrit uting free rations among them.

TINS" AND OUTS"
 IN BITTER FIGHT Roosevelt and Taft Republi- Hold Conventions and
 Elect Delegates.
THE TAFT MEN INSIDE
Roosevelt Supporters Vii Garry Fight to the National Rep. 4.ican
 Convention.

Little Rock, April 25--The Roose- Welt crowd has declared war on the Taft machine. Two Pulaski county conventions were held Thursday af.- ternoon, two sets of 21 delegates and alternates each were elected to the state convention, and two complete county organizations formed. Tho Roosevelt League will at once issue call for state convention to be held May [, the same day as that of the regular organization, at which delegates will be elected to the nat ional convention, prepared to contest for seats in that organization.
 The county convention was called for 1:3O p. m., Thursday. The 'sIns" were early in charge of the hall, and when the "outs" arrived they were informed that only those wearing Taft badges would be admitted. So lS2 delegates, representing every ward and precinct in the county, met out side the door, with J. A. Conner, the chairman, and held regular conven- tion, electing delegates and adopting the following resolutions:
 "The Republicans of Pulaski coun- ty, in convention assembled, hereby announce their allegiance to Col Theodore Roosevelt and state their positive preference for him as the Re- publican candidate for the presidency
 "He is easily the most distinguish- ca living American. This is the ver- dict. not merely of the people ,,f nc United States, but of all civilized nat-9 :cns as we'll.
 "His administration of the prcs;s-s dential office were above reproa ,h and were conducive to the happiness and wcll-being of his fellow countrya.,n.
 "He is certain to receive larger vote. than any other candidate, and he is clearly the choice of the people wherever their untramelled wish is pc rmittci to be expressed.
 "We urge all Republicans to favor his nomination and election.
 ''This convention is unalterably ops posed to the amendment to the Con- stitution of Arkansas, known as the grandfather clause, and pledges it's, opposition and that of it's several members to any discrimination in the suffrage, by whatever artifice or de- vice, on the ground of race. color, pr previous condition of servitude."
 J. A. Conner, president of the Roosevelt League, was elected chair man of the country central commit- tee and Dr. J. B. Palmer, negro. was elected secretary. The regular organization also elected officers, and claim that the other crowd can have no standing before the state conven- ton. The Roosevelt men will not att tempt to establish such standing, but will stage their own drama, and car ry the fight through the national con- YentiOn

Wireless Operators Permit. ted to Hold Information Until Price Was Paid.
NO NEWS FOR NATION
fRadOgrams Are Pulled From the Air By Government Operator and Read to Committee.

Washington, April 25-Because it Ewanted to buy for few dollars an in #terview it could not obtain by en- #terprise, New York newspaper i'm posed hours of dreadful suspense up on the thousands of distressed rel atives and friends of the victims and survivors of the Titanic disaster, while the newspaper deliberately dickered with Vice President Sammis of the Marconi company for the low est terms for the statement Of the l two wireless operators on board the Carpathia husbands, wives, sons and daughters of the passengers of the Titanic sough in vain the news of their loved ones. The President oi the United States endeavored to learn whether or not his aide, had Epe.ished, but could get no informa- lion. Messages to passengers tha. came 60 the Carpathia were unan- swered. The United States scout crusier Chester, equipped with a per feet wireless plant. could get no satisfactory, information for the peo- pie of the nation. And all because < two wirelesssAQerators, in "a position to knowS~exactly~ y~4who was on board he rescue abaA had been told that E

 Det,ils of Bargain
 The details of this sordid bargain ing for news, for which the whole nation was struggling, were furnished by the Commander of the Chester Co the Navy Department tQlay in the Ti- tanic inquiry. The affair was veri- fled by MT. Marconi, who said that he had heard of it afterwards but stated that he was not a party to it and did not approve of it. He ad- 1nitted that he gave the operators permission to sell their stories as soon as they got ashore, but 'this was before he knew that they had been kept silent at keys while the fate of the Titanic victims or survivors could only be guessed at.
 Cottam, the wireless operator aboard the Carpaihia, admitted he sold his story to the newspaper af- ter being ordered to keep his mouth shut by sammis, his superior, MT. Marconi said that he understood from either the proprietors of the newspaper or the managing editor that each of the wireless operators, Cottam, of the ,Carpathia, and Bride, the surviving second operator of the Titanic, were to get $500.
 The letter from the commander of the Chester whose operator had in- terrupsed the bids. fer news was read by Chairman Smith, of the Commit tee. It is as follws:
