FOUND QUICKER PROCESS.
Inventor Finds Answer While Mathe.
maticians Waste Weeks.

A story is told of a certain famous
inventor, who is fortunate enough to
be able to employ a large staff Of en-
gineers and mathematicians to aid him
in the solution of knotty problems
says Engineering News.
Some time ago the inventor desired
to find the cubic capacity Of a certain
vessel of unsymmetrical proportions,
and asked his mathematicians to solve
the problem. -,
AS the story goes, the mathemati-
clans snent weeks of time filled whole
books with their calculations and final
" presented what they said was close
approximation to the true result.
Thereupon the famous inventor placed
the vessel on a platform scale. filled II
to the brim with water, obtained Its
weight when full and when empty, and
in a few minutes he had result as
good as the mathematicians-for that
particular vessel.

FERGUSON REPLIES TO TiLLMAI
spartanburs Man Says He Burned
Bait Letter Immediately.


Harrison Ferguson, Of Spartanburg,
says Senator Tillman has done him a
grave injustice in the reply to Govern
or Blease. He denies emphatically
that Governor Blease saw the famous
was permitted to copy It. On the con-
trary, he claims to have burned It, and
he calls upon Senator Tillman to make
amends. Immediately after reading
Senator Tillman's letter, he wrote the
senator as follows:
Spartanburg, s. c., Jan. 81, 1913.
Senator, B. r. Tillman, Washington,
d. C.
Dear Sir: I have read your refer
ence to me In your frank message" to
the general assembly of South Carroll
ma, and noted carefully what you had
to say about MY letter to Ferguson"
and your insinuation that, In your
opinion, I am not believable; also,
that did not swear to the actual
truth, and another subtle insinuatfon
that had suppressed the truth; also
"and that a man with an easy conscf-
ence could swear to almost anything"
Now Senator Tillman, want to say
that I am young man In ordinary
circumstances, and, you might say,
just entered upon my business career.
You have used your dignified position
to besmirch my character for telling
the truth, and having manhood enough
to swear to 1t, and for which hold
you responsible.
I have no knowledge whatever of
how Gonzales got the information as
to the contents Of your letter, for did
not furnish it, nor did show 1t to
Governor Blease, or allow anyone else
to-and can furnish witnesses to the
fact that I burned the letter without
ever letting it leave my possession be-
fore seeing Governor Blease, after /
received 1t.
I feel that you, of your position and
influence, did me grave injustice, and
that you owe me a modification OF
your assertion, and correction OF
your aspersion on my character for
truthfulness. You have gone beyond
your privilege as a citizen and gen.
tleman, and violated your right to re-
spect from a fellow citizen.
Very truly yours,
HARRISON FERGUSON.

letter to Mr.. Sims, said:

and corrupt to protect the peopl
against the railroads, and as I have al
ready pointed out, Blease Is In close

Governor Blease's charge that I al
lowed someone, this astute Big Elk,
to dictate to me makes me willing tc
ask him If Colonel Abney assisted hin
in writing this message.
His anxiety about honesty is pathetic
and reminds me of Hudibras' couplet:
mo thief ever felt the halter draw
with good opinion Of the law"
Being low type Of man himself, he
does not realize and cannot conceive
how anyone else can be honorable
clean and above board.
1 will say.in conclusion that have
read the bill introduced by Mr.. Rem.
bert and heartily approve Of 1t. hope
1t will become law for 1t Is nothing
more than just that a newspaper
should give citizen who is attacked ir
its columns the opportunity to reply
through the same channel.

State Of South Carolina,
Executive department.
Gentlemen Of the General Assembly:
I do not know that 1t Is necessary
for me to call the matter to your at
tention, and do so merely in order
that II you so desire, you may inves-
tigate 1t. AS the result Of dereliction
of duty on his part, and what con-
sidered gross negligence in the dis
charge of his duties, I notified the
state bank examiner, B. ]. Rhame,
Of his removal from Office, and named
In his stead II. w. Fraser, who I un-
derstood. had been indorsed by the
state bankers for this position. The
matter was carried to the supreme
court. The court did not pass upon
the merits Of the case, as to whether
was right in removing Rhame, but
simply passed upon the legal ques,,
tion of my right to remove him, and
held that he could not be removed.
I hold in my possession the bank ex-
aminer's reports on the Lexington
Savings bank, which, along with
other facts leading me to attempt to
remove Rhame from office, will be
glad to show to any Of your commit
tees. I would advise that you have
this matter thoroughly investigated
in order to save the state Of South
Carolina and the county Of Lexington
from losses in that institution.
While q number Of able lawyers took
the same view Of the law I did, shall
not criticize the majority opinion OF
the court which held against that view
notwithstanding the fact that the writ
er Of the opinion went considerably
out of the record to hold that was not
England's king. / might remark In
passing, however, that this fact, In
view of the information before me, un-
der the well-settled rules Of logic, was
not unknown to me even before 1t was
judicia!ly and laborlously evolved by
the learned writer Of the opinion.
1 did not know Mr.. Rhame, and do
not know him now. I have never seen
him that I know Of. I had only seen
Mr.. Fraser once and did not know
what his politics was nor did / care.
was simply seeking service.
l would like for you to look into
the matter and pass your judgment
as to whether I was justified in re-
moving Rhame. Whether you see fit
to go into this matter or not, how
ever, I would respectfully suggest and
urge that 1t Is important, in view OF
the decision Of the supreme court, that
some change be made In our law. Un-
der this decision, even If an officer
should prove a drunkard, a gambler,
an embezzler, or anything else covered
by the criminal statutes, there Is no
power which could get him out Of Of
fee until the general assembly should
meet and request his removal by a
two-thirds vote. This is a condition
which I submit, is not for the best in
terests of the state, no matter who
may hold the office or by whom he may
have been appointed or may hereafter
be appointed.
Very respectfully,
COLE l.. BLEASE,
Governor.

electors were at one time required to
possess very high qualifications. In
parts Of New England during the 18th
century, voters had to reside in "a
stone house Of the dimensions Of 20
feet by 16, with one or more brick or
stone chimney or chimneys." Each
voter had also to be certified by his
neighbors "of sober and peaceable
disposition" In Connecticut every
candidate for the local assembly had
to furnish a certificate from the Sc
lectmen of the town where he resided
that he was "of quiet and peaceable
behavior and vivial conversation
That the selectmen might exercise due
care in signing such certificates, they
were liable to a fine Of $25 in case the
candidate turned out otherwise than
