Governors Reply.

''The Hon. S. T. Carter, State Treas
urer, Columbia, S. C.-Dear Sir: Your
letter of August 1, in reference to
borrowing money for the use of the
State has been received. In reply
beg to ask what this money is needed
for, and to whom it is to be paid. It
appears to me that if it is for the use
of the State officials, that on account
of the high rate of interest which is
now being demanded, each of us might
carry our own Offices until the tax
money begins to come in, when we
can easyly be reimbursed, and save
the taxpayers of our State from pay
ing the exorbitant rate of interest. I
would like to have the opinion of the
other members of the committee in re-
gard to this matter. AS governor I
stand ready and am willing to borrow
at my own expense, or discount my
State checks, in order to run the exc
cutive part Of the government, with
out borrowing any money at the ex-
orbitant rate of interest which is now
being charged.
Very respectfully,
Cole. L. Blease,
rovnrnor"

'The Hon. Cole L. Blease, Governor,
Columbia, S. C.-Dear Sir: The cash
on hand for general purposes has
reached the point where it is neces-
sary to procure funds with which to
meet the States obligations as de-

We have to the credit Of the general
account $4,000 at beginning of busi-

age monthly expenditure for the
balance of the year to be from S11O,-
900 to S115,000. 1t appears therefore
that we will need at least S25O,OO0 or
possibly 100000 to run until taxes
are available The balance we have
On hand will probably run US until

These facts are brought to your

Webb SimOnS ParOled.

Webb Simons, white, convicted at the
April, 1910, term of court for Anderson
county of murder with recon-
mendation to mercy, was parol-
ed by the governor The
petition was signed by eight OF
the jury, endorsed by the Judge, and
over 1000 citizens, He killed Bert
McAdams.
In connection with this case it will
be interesting to note that ]. c. Eli
son, who was foreman of the jury
which convicted Simons, is himself
in the Penitentiary. Yesterday, when
Simons went to leave he is said to
have told Ellison goodbye.
In his reasons for paroling Webb
Simons, the Anderson county life
termer, Governor Blease excoriated
cruel and overbearing treatment OF
suspects and prisoners by officers OF
the law, saying: "The idea of and
officer when he arrests man, hav-
ing a right to knock him, or beat
him, or otherwise mistreat him, is
erroneous, and the cruelty Of the Of
ficer often makes men outlaws, and
if the courts and juries of this coun-
try would do their duty and convict
some of these bullies and black
guards for cruelty it would put a
stop to such acts"

LEE TO FACE CONTEST.

At conference of Republican Sen
ators held at Washington Monday
afternoon the decision was reached to
contest in the Senate the writ of
election issued by Gov. Goldsborough
under which Blair Lee was named
for the United States Senate.
The fact that the Maryland legis-
lature failed to authorize the Govern
or to call the election will be urged
as the ground for Withholding admis-
sion of Lee. They will not under
take to impeach the manner in which
the election was held or safeguards
which we're thrown about it.
1t is admitted by Republicans that
they have only the merest technicali
ty upon which to fight the seating OF
Lee. No suggestion has been made
that Lee is not the choice of the peo-
pie of the State and none has come
that the election was not fairly held
and the vote honestly counted.

INTEREST RAILROAD EMPLOYEES

To stimulate interest among the
employees of the road the Safety First
movement which has been so success
fully launched on the lines of the
Western Maryland Railway Com
pany, cards have been sent out from
the office of Safety Engineer Borland
in Baltimore, which are to be placed
in the hands of every man on the
payroll of the company, with the
request that they make known any
situation along their division which
needs remedying at the hands of the
management. The card distribution
is in the nature of an appeal to each
individual employee of the Western
Maryland to become an active work
er in the Safety First campaign which
is now under way, and to assist in
bringing about the results which are
expected from the movement just
begun.
A concrete illustration Of the spirit
in which the employees of the road
have accepted the step forward in the
direction of safe railroading, was
given by the first Safety First meet
ing on the Western Maryland, held
in Hagerstown last week. Over 800
railroad men, representing all depart
ments, were present, and by their
enthusiasm, gave decided impetus
to the movement as launched that
night.

And He Is About Correct,

There would be some justification if
high silk hats came into general style for
men, and they should be worn while sit
ting in church, and at places of amuse-
ment. This new cat-o-nine-tail and flag
flying head decoration is enough to cause
men to seek retaliatory measures, though
perhaps their decrease in acreage is a
palliating concession. Evidently, buggy
rides with young men will have to be
taken with the top down-the top of the

MARRIAGE LAWS SUMMARIZED.

The laws of the different States
limiting marriage have recently been
summarized in bulletin by DR..
Charles B. Davenport and issued by
the Eugenics Record Office. A brief
review of these in the Popular Science
Monthly shows that they are more
numerous and complicated than most
people suppose.
A Pennsylvania law became opera
tive in August requiring those wish
ing to marry to appear at the license
bureau and answer under oath some
80 questions. The candidate for the
privilege of marrying must swear, for
one thing, that he is not an imbecile.
Marriages of idiots and the insane
are Illegal in about half the States,
and these marriages are presumably
invalid everywhere, as such persons
cannot make contracts. On similar
grounds in three States marriage is
invalid when one of the parties is in
toxicated, Only five States forbid
the marriage of those suffering from
certain diseases. In Delaware a child
of a person insane before it was born
cannot marry. In Utah an epileptic
woman may marry after the age OF
45 years, but not before,
Laws limiting closeness of rela-
tionship in marriage" according to
Popular Science, are based on social
rather than biological considerations,
Indeed, we have no scientific knowl-
edge that would enable us to pre-.
scribe limits of consanguinity within
which marriage is undesirable from
the point of hereditary or eugenics.
The marriage OF first cousins is illegal
in about half of the States, including
Pennsylvania and Illinois, yet such
marriages have been and are common
in all Classes of society. The most
distinguished family known to Dr..
Davenport are the seven children of
Charles Darwin, who married his
first cousin. The royal families of
Europe are closely inbred, but form
a superior group. a consideration
of their heredity shows, as might have
been anticipated, that both desirable
and undesirable qualities are en-
hanced by the marriage of those re-
lated by blood.
"The social reasons making it de-
sirable to forbid the marriage of those
who become related through marriage
are not urgent; indeed, they have
practically disappeared since segrega-
tion of the sexes has been largely
abandoned. The limitations do not
exist in many of the States, and in
many of the States, and in others
are curiously inconsistent. Marriage
with deceased wife's sister is not
prohibited, but in West Virginia a
man may not marry his deceased
wife's step daughter, and in Massa-
chusetts he may not marry his de-
ceased wife's grandmother"

CHESTS To BE Under 700 At The

GueStS TO be Under 1OO AT The
White House Wedding.
Now that the invitations to the we'd
ding of Miss Jessie Wilson and Francis
Bowes Sayre have been issued and ac-
cepted, the fact becomes apparent that
the company will be under, rather than
over 700 originally intended to be asked
Although the crest of the United States
decorates the invitation, which is engrav-
ed in the ordinary script type with the
name of the recipient written in ink, the
wedding will be very strictly family
affair plus the representatives of the 80
odd foreign nations maintaining diplo-
matte relations with the United States
and the members of the United States
Supreme Court, with the ladies of their
respective families. The Vice-President
and Mrs. Marshall will be there, as well
as the Cabinet officers and their wives.
There will be surprisingly few mem
bers of Congress and scant represen-
tation from Washing toms resident circle.
The reason for the absence of the social
world of the capital is easily found, as
Miss Jessie Wilson has spent little time
in Washington, and even when at the
White House accepted few invitations.
The order has been gwen for the erec-
tion of platform to extend across the
window of the East Room of the White
House. where the ceremony is to take
place at 4.30 o'clock on November 25th.
The entire wedding party consisting of
five maids, best man, four ushers, Miss
Wilson and Mr.. Sayre, the President and
the official clergyman bring the number
to IA, and all will have place on the

Bitten By Mad Dog.
Mrs. Ed. Eyler Attacked By
Animal As She Enters Barn.

Animal As She Enters Barn.
Last Sunday Mrs. Edw. Eyler residing
about mile south of Thurmont, was at
tackled by dog and badly bitten in the
left arm.
The dog, of the fox hound breed, had
been chased from neighboring stable
and took refuge in Mr.. Eyler's barn. AS
Mrs. Eyler opened door to enter, the
dog, without warming attacked her.
Members of her family went to her as
sistance and in short time the dog was
killed
Not knowing whether or not the dog
was rabid, Mr.. Eyler sent the animals
head to Baltimore for analysis. DR.. M.
A. Birely was summoned and dressed the
wounds inflicted by the dog.
Persons in the vicinity think perhaps
the dog got lost from party of hunters
in the mountains, as no one knew from
whence he came. Just previously to at
tacking Mrs. Eyler he had been in
fight with dogs nearby, had been chased
out of stable somewhat roughly, and
no doubt was not in very pleasant mood
when she opened the door.
On Tuesday DR.. Birely received word
from Baltimore that the dog was rabid.
He reported Immediately tn Mrs. Eyler
and she at once made preparation to go
to Baltimore and take the Pasteur treat
ment. She left Thurmont on the 24S
train and will take the treatment at
Mercy hospital.
Mrs. Eyler's wounds consist of four
lacerations in the left arm and several in
the side.
As the owner of this dog is not known
and no one seems to know from which
direction he came, it may be we'll for all
persons owning dogs to be on the alert
and keep their dogs at a safe place-they
might have been bitten.
1t might not be unwise for the Town
Commissioners to get rid of the large
Mastiff dog running at large in this place.
He is somewhat of nuisance, and many
people are afraid of him. He might have
been bitten by this rabid dog.
