SPECIAL OFFICER HAS
RESIGNED HIS POSITION
POSITION ON ST. SIMON
FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

A new special officer will have to
be appointed to serve on st. Simon
for the remainder of the summer.
Don McCaskell, who was elected to
the position by the commissioners at
the opening of the summer season,
has rendered his resignation, which
has already become effective. 1t is
understood that Mr.. McCaskill resign
ed for the simple reason that he
could not perform the duties OF the
office satisfactory to all parties con
cerned. He said that he had been
employed to keep law and order on
the island and this he had done, but
hat he could not agree to become
spy and look up those who are vio-
lating the prohibition law.
Whether or not a successor will be
appointed just at present is not yet
known, but it has been intimated that
Special Cou1 ty Officer Houston may
be detailed to duty on the island.

SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR
SAYS NO TRUTH IN ANY
OF THEM
BURNS A CHEAP HIRELINe
That is What He Calls the Detective
and Says That in His Opinion Burns
Proves Himself Unworthy Of
Belief.

Columbia, S. c., July 15.-Governor
Blease today issued a statement in
which he denounced in very strong
terms Thomas B. Fielder, in which he
denies the truth of the testimony de-
duced at Augusta last week as to
his receiving money for granting par
dons; in which he says he will later
produce proofs of falsity of these
charges, and in which he denounces
William ]. Burns, the detective, as a
cheap hireling.' OF Burns the gov
ernor says:
In my opinion Burns proves him
self unworthy of belief, and q cheap
hlreling, as he has in other of his
transactions shown"
The governor declares that the
charges which Fielder and the inves-
tigating committee have brought
against him will help him in the COM
ing primary election.
The governor said today that he
had not granted the pardon to Gus De-
ford, the man for whose pardon the
detective schemed in order to catch
the governor in the act of receiving
money for it.. and he further stated
that Sam J. Nichols, the Spartanburg
attorney, whom the dictagraph says
acted for DeFord in getting near the
governor, had never mentioned to him
the granting of the DeFord pardon
Nichols spent Sunday with the gov
error, but left in the afternoon for

stlll this section was visited yester-
DAY by a rain and windstorm of large
proportions, and many people were
greatly frightened when the velocity
OF the wind continued to increase.
Last night, about 8 o'clock. it was
blowing at a dangerous speed and
was accompanied by heavy dogn-
Four of rain. 1t is thought at one
time the wind blew at a velocity of
between 40 and so miles. but the ex-
tent Of the damage in Brunswick was
the blowing down of fences, signs,
small trees, etc.
The city was in almost total dark
ness during the entire night. Wire
trouble caused the large arc lights
to be put out of business early in
the evening, and though linemen we're
at once sent out to locate the trouble
they did not succeed in making the
necessary repairs in time to turn the
lights on last night. The wires of the
telegraph and telephone companies
We're little interfered with.
The rain was one of the heaviest
seen in Brunswick in a long time. II

about o'clock and continued to come

at intervals in torrents.
High Tide at Island.
While the wind is reported to have
blown at st. Simon with even higher
velocity than it did in the city, still
little or no damage was reported on
the island. A telephone communica-
ton last night stated that, while no
serious damage had resulted, the tide
was one of the highest in the history
Of the island and made it impossible
for the Sea Gate, making the even

sengers who intended returning last
night were compelled to remain on
the island until this morning.
The pier was almost completely COW

high water marks of the beach in
many places. In some Instances the
water almost reached cottages located
close to the beach 1t came within a

While the storm generally did but
little damage in and around Bruins

HIGH WATER FORCES
NBEE PEOPLE. TO FLEE
"ROCK-BIBBED AND Time
TRIED DEMOCRACY
&
SUBJECT OF EDITORIAL IN VAL
0oSTA PAPER ON CON-
GRESSlONAL RACE.
(From the Valdosta Times.)

The Waycross Herald in continu
direct and indirect attack upon Hon.
]. Randall Walker in. his candidacy
for congress, quoted in its" issue of
July 6 news item clipped from
the Savannah Morning News to the
effect that 'LownCies county would
probably go in the Wilson column in
November though the county had re-
fused twice to follow Bryan and voted
the republican ticket"
Now, the truth of the matter is this,
that Lowndes has never refused to
follow Bryan but had, in all three
elections when Bryan was a candi-
date, given the straight democratic
ticket good majorities. Lowndes has
always been democratic.
The Herald continues in the same
extremely unfair manner with the
following comment on the absurd
statement quoted above:
"As we understand it this same
county of Lowndes is Offering to the
people of the Eleventh district can
didate for congress in the person of
Hon. j. Randall Walker, subject to
the democratic primary.
Would it not be much better to
have man who is offered to the Deo-
pie of the district by a county that
has always been found in the dem
| ocratic column and that will not
probably be found there? Ware
county is that county and it is Of
fering to the people of the district
that rock-ribbed and time-tried dem
ocrat-Judge T. A. Parker.
To use the untruthful claim that
Lowndes did not always support the
democratic ticket against Mr.. Walk.
er in his candidacy for congress is
certainly going the limit. However
| he has always been a democrat. He
has always voted the ticket straight
He has never bOlted nominee of
his party whether nominated by
convention or primary LOWndes. in
this campaign will give the democra-
tic ticket the largest majority in her
history.
On the other hand since the Herald
seeks to throw off on the democracy
of Lowndes, thus admitting there was
nothing the matter with the democ-
racy of the candidate from Lowndes,
we suggest that it ought to sweep a
little around it's own door and be a
little careful how ''rock-ribbed and
time-tried" the democracy of its own
candidate is. Perhaps the Herald has
forgotten that the venerable jurist,
Judge Parker, long before he reached
the dignity of wearing the ermine, was
candidate in the senatorial demo-
cratic convention in the Third dis
trict His opponent, DR.. Hovas Co
mas, was made the democratic nOmi
nee for senator, which angered the
then Mr.. Parker so greatly that he
bolted the convention and voted for
the pOpulist candidate for this office.
This is a matter of history that Judge
Parker will not deny.
Now our position is this: Any man
may belong to whatever party he de-
sires That's his own business. We
have not the slightest criticism to
make on that score. But when a re-
publican convention or primary, ev-
cry conception of political morals or
honor Or obligation holds that though
