BUILDING ROADS IN SHILOH,
Supervisor Pitts Makes Some Com
mcntS on Work i'm This Section.

Supervisor Pitts was in the city
on Monday and while here he stated
to the reporter for the Item that he
was making good progress with his
road building in Shiloh township.
Mr.. Pitts stated that in that section
the best road material was TO be found
of any where in the county and
it was not so difficult TO build roads
there as elsewhere.
Mr.. Pitts is now engaged in build
ing up the )St used roads in this part
Of the county. filling in holes, digging
stumps out of the roads and provid-
ing proper drainage. There are {.
great many public roads in Shiloh
township and for this reason only the
principal ones are being put in shape,
so that they can be kept in good
condition hereafter.
The roads which were built in the
Rembert section are still in good
shape. and it looks now as if Super
visor Pitts will have some good roads
all over the county with a little more
time and work.

The meeting was the first of a series
Of meetings 10 he held for the pur-

The matter will be taken up by
President Dabbs in other counties

In each county the help from the

The bankers agreed to lend the half
million dollars to the farmers, il be-
ing thought that that amount would
be sufficient, in order that the farm
ers might know before hand what
help to expect from the banks and in
this provide for the holding of their
cotton, and that it might not be nee
essary to rush it on the market as
soon as it is picked and ginned as has
been the case to a considerable extent
heretofore.

Committee.
Columbia, June 14.-"Any man
who would make such statement is
a liar and a coward. is the comment
Governor Bleasc gave out at his Of
flee today on the charge OF Mavor
Grace that he had traced graft from
the Charleston blind tiger situation
practically up 10 the Governor him
self. The Mayors charge moved the
Governor to wrath and he denounced
it in emphatic language.
The Governors official family is
giving him trouble" was the way one
comment ran today on the latest de-
velopment, for it was recalled that
Mayor Grace is colonel on the Gov
ernor's staff, and ii he has resigned
no one has heard anything of it.
Time and again there have been re-
ports and denials OF a break between
Governor Blease and Mayor Grace,
and the story to this effect during the
remembered.
1t Is also interesting to recall Just
about the time Of the reported break
that Governor Blease, while on visit
to Charleston gave out an interview
on the matter, in which he said John
is all right" and otherwise said pleas
ant things about the Mayor and de-
MED there had been any break be-
tween them. Now, however, the Gov
ernor applies the short and ugly
word to the charge Of Mayor Grace
The dispenSary investigating COM
which time the matter of making out
formal subpoenas for Mayor Grace
and Chief Stothart, Of Blease's Char
lesion constabulary, will probably be
considered. as Mr.. Stothart is said 10
be the person that Mayor Grace has
charged with being the one who car
ried the graft from Charleston to the
Governor, Chairman Carlisle, of the
committee, stated the other day tha,
he was going to call the committee
together next week. probably on Tues
day, when they would resume their
deliberations.
Another matter which will be con
sidered is the question Of hearing the
testimony Of Thomas Il. Fielder, the
Atlanta attorney, whose letters on the
Governor OF South Carolina and his
grave charges against him caused
sensations in the State. 1t is thought
that Fielder is willing and even anx-
ious 10 testify and the committee will
certainly exhaust every effort to get
answer to the Governors threat To
have him arrested rs he passed
through the State with the Georgia
delegation en- route to Baltimore. was
that "he would attend to the case IF
Blease in the not distant future
The meeting of the committee on
Tuesday will divide interest with the
opening Of the campaign at Sumter,
and the testimony Of Mayor Grace
doubtless will hold the undivided in
terest Of every man in the State.
When asked last night if he had
any statement to make in regard to
the Governors statement Mayor
John i. Grace replied that he had
nothing To say at this time. He said,
however, that at the proper time ne
would say whatever he might have 20
say as To this matter
Mayor Grace confirmed the state
ment that he is colonel on the Cover
nor's staff. He stated, however that
he had never put the uniform on. My
connection with the Governors staff
has been a very passive one" he add

fort while at the conference to secure
the designation of this city as the
seat of an episcopal reidence. The
Bismarck commercial club has also
been interested in the proposition,
and will do all in its power to bring
another bishop to this city to make
his residence and headquarters.
Bismarck, owing to it's prominence
as state capital, its splendid railway
connections, and its location, being
but AZ miles from the geographical
center of the state, would be an ideal
home for the new bishop. The Ro-
man Cacholic church recognized its
importance When it designated Bis
marck as a See City. 1t is antici-
pated that the Methodist Episcopal
church will do likewise. 1t could
make no better decision.
