THE REASON WHY.
Secretary of War Garrison Tells of
Militia Row.

Withdrawal from South Carolina
of the support given by the federal
government to the organized militia
of all other States and territories
brought many inquiries to the war
department Wednesday and caused
Secretary Garrison to issue the fol-
lowing statement:
"With respect to inquiries made OF
me concerning this department and
the governor Of South Carolina, the
facts are briefly:
Those in control of the National
Guard of South Carolina were not
complying with the law emitting
them to federal aid. The attention
of the governor was called to this
and a rather sharply worded reply
received. Fearing that there was
some misunderstanding, I wrote a
long explanatory letter to the gov
ernor stating the law and the partic-
ulars in which his State had failed to
comply and suggesting that upon this
being brought to his attention it was
supposed that he would desire to
comply with the law and continue to
receive the federal aid. In response
I have received another sharply
worded letter reiterating his previous
position and practically stating that
South Carolina did not wish any fed
eral aid and would not do those
things necessary to secure it."

GATHERING AT GETTYSBURG.
Veterans Who Fought Fifty Years
Ago to Frolic.

Gathering from north and south
for the fftieth anniversary of the
Battle Of Gettysburg, several hundred
Civil War veterans arrived at Gettys-
burg, Pa, Thursday, coming early,
they said, in order to avoid the great
rush OF the early part Of next week.
Mingling with the blue uniforms
were some in gray and the men from
the South we're given hearty greet
ing. With their uniforms of gray.
topped by campaign hats, the South
erners soon became central figures
on the streets and scarcely a person
they passed failed to stop and ask
the privilege of hand-shake. Warm
er than all others was the welcome
extended them by the Union veterans,
many of whom are here for the open
ing of the state encampment.
Thursday night the historic old
Adams County court house witnessed
a reproduction of the wartime camp
fire, with it's stirring patriotic songs
of the days of $3.50, and many
speeches in which "reminiscences OF
days gone by were mingled with sug-
sestions and plans for the obervance
of the coming week.
Final arrangements at the big
camp were completed Thursday. Prac-
.ically everything is in readiness to
eceive the first arrivals on Sunday,
and Thursday many veterans visited
he place, inspecting the tents and
furnishings, together with arrange
ments for mess and sanitary arrange
mentS.

POWER TO RECIPROCATE.
In Tariff Reductions Proposed For
President Wilson.

Urgent desire to arm the president
with a tariff ",big stick" Of stronger
and greater proportions than pro-
vided in the amendment suggested by
the finance committee majority de-
veloped Thursday in the Democratic
caucus of the Senate on the tariff bill
Discussion of the proposed count
ervailing duty on wheat and -four,
which the committee recommended,
led to a general debate on retalia-
tory and countervailing tariff rates
and Senator Hoke Smith, Of Georgia,
urgently proposed the adoption of an
amendment that would give the
president power to enforce counter
vailing tariff rates on all commodities
Of commerce against any nation re-
fusing to deal with the United States
on a reciprocal tariff basis.
The amendment proposed would in
many respects take one place of the
maximum and minimum clause OF
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Sena-
tor Smith advocated a provision that
would be broader than that, one that
would give the president the author
ity at any time to interpose against
any nation which might discriminate
against the products of the United
States the same tariff rates exacted
on American goods. Such a clause in
the tariff bill, it was argued, would
place the United States in position
to defend the country against any
unreciprocal action or attempt to
shut off it's foreign trade.

Genius That Counts.

What most people call genius is
chiefly capacity for hard and intel
ligent labor. Sir Hiram Maxim
laughs at the idea that he Is a genius
and ascribes his great success to hard
work. This same quality accounts
for the great achievements Of Edison
and other masters in the various de-
partments Of the worlds activities.
This is an encouragement or ought to
be an encouragement to many a
young man who may have the wrong
idea that genius is something not de-
pendant on work but Is born with a
man, and that he who has 1t not can
never hope to excel. Every young
man is a genius at something. 1t
may take hard work to bring it out,
but the possibilities are there, and
can be- developed. The trouble is that
so few OF us are willing to give the
labor that is necessary to develop the
traits in US that would put US in the
genius class.

HAVE HO WORDS.
Congressman Warm Up In Presence
of President Wilson.

or PreSlQenC H11SOu'
Though efforts have been made to
keep the fact from getting out, 1t Is
known in Washington, says a dis
patch from that city, that the con-
ference at the White House last Fri
day evening between President Will
son and the Democratic members OF
the banking and currency committee
Of the House was the occasion OF
some stormy scenes resulting from
the feeling Of certain members that
they had been ignored by Chairman
Carter Glass, whose bill was prepared
and published before it was submit
ted to the committee for considera-
ton.
1t is understood that a particular
ly hot attack was made upon the
chairman by Representative J. W.
Ragsdale, of South Carolina, who un-
dertook to "Read the Riot Act" to
Mr.. Glass in the presence Of the
President. The peppery Virginian
replied sharply to the impetuous
South Carolinian and for time it
was feared by some Of their col
leagues that they might actually
come to blows. Mr.. Glass was not
inclined to admit the propriety Of Mr..
Ragsdale's criticisms and expressed
himself in a way by no means apollo
getic.

MEETING OF FIREMEN
THOUSANDS WITNESS THEIR
RACES AT ABBEVILLE.
Newberry Wins Wagon Event and
Sumter Leads With Hand Reel
Columbia Does Well.

Some six or seven thousand people
focked to the Abbeville fremen's
race course Wednesday to see the
running of the events which carry
with them the title of supremacy in
South Carolina. Newberry and Sum-
ter divided first place honors, New
berry wining in the hose wagon race
and Sumter in the hand reel event.
Sumter also scored second in the
hose wagon race, while Columbia and
Darlington came in third.
In the hand reel event Columbia
won second place and Georgetown
won third.
These two races, with the fremen's
parade in the morning, made up the
program which attracted the large
crowd. C. D. Brown, J. T. Boseman
and F. G. Godfrey were the judges.
The fremen's parade formed at
$3.50 at the lower end Of the public
square and proceeded up Main street
to the race track, headed by the Sec
ond regiment band. Following the
band came an automobile carrying
Mayor C. c. Gambrell, President
Louis Behrens and the governor.
Then came the other officers of the
iremen's association, following by
the hose wagons and racing teams.
Racing began Immediately after the
parade.
The time for this event follows:
Abebyille, hydrant II seconds, water
81 seconds; Marion, hydrant 16 2-5,
no water; Chester, hydrant Is 3-4,
water "a; Anderson, hydrant II 2-5,
water 33; Darlington, hydrant
IT Ia, water 29; Bishopyille, No. 2,
hydrant Is as, water 80; Columbia,
hydrant II, water 20; Bishopville,

hydrant II, water 81 1-2; Benefits
vile, hydrant is is, water 80 10;
Newberry, hydrant 16, water % 1-2.
Newberry thus won first money OF
$3.50 and Sumter second money,
500, while third money was divided
between Columbia Palmetto's and
Darlington. The fastest time to the
hydrant, IA 2-5 seconds, was made by
Anderson, the only team driving a
PAGER.
In the afternoon the hand reel
races were pulled off, Sumter winning
first money, SIS; Columbia second,
$50; Georgetown third, SIS. The
time for showing water: Sumter, 20
seconds; Georgetown. 21 As; Colum-
bia. 21; Newberry, % 2-5.
A moving picture expert of Athens,
Ca, stook the parade and all of the
races. The picture will make a 500
foot film which will be shown all
over the State in about two weeks.
Greenwood won the second game
of base ball Wednesday afternoon, 8
to 4. Batteries: Greenwood, DuBose

HITS LABOR UNIONS
SAYS THEY ARE MOST AGGRES-
SIVE TRUSTS.
Governor Brown Of Georgia, Crit.
cises Organized Labor in Farewell
Message to Legislature.

A caustic arraignment of labor
unions in which it is charged that
they form the "most widespread and
aggressively exacting trust in Ameri-
ca, is contained in the farewell mes
sage Of Governor Joseph M. Brown,
presented to the Georgia legislature
at it's opening session in Atlanta
Wednesday.
Governor Browns criticism of or
ganized 'o'or Is made in connection
with r ars nent for the enactment
of /; qui3 ing compulsory arbitra-
ton - o. Employees and employ
ers. Gates this recommends
ton up... he strikes of employees
of the Georgia Railroad and the
Augusta Street Railway Company
last fall. Both Of these strikes, the
Governor declares, were "manifestly
indefensible and condemnable" and
"the strikers placed themselves in a
state of open rebellion to the laws OF
Georgia..
eve are brought face to face with
the fact" the message continues,
"that these unions or combinations of
employees on public service and 9TH
er corporations have forced their
wages above those received by work
men in all other departments of life
who have not formed these aggres-
sively militant combinations.
"The trend of the laws of the pres
ent day is to suppress combinations
or trusts in restraint of trade. Yet
while it is a matter of public note
that the abor trust is the most wide
spread and aggressively exacting in
America, politicians pander to it, be-
cause of it's voting power.
1.-The labor unions, by combination,
which they work through strikes and
kindred methods, are aggressively
levying toll upon all other ele-
ments Of out citizenship. They have
organized a trust and demand that
all other people buy labor at what
ever price they choose to put upon 1t.
And contemporaneously, they are try
ing to force from employment all
similar workmen who do not join
thei orders.
''I do not declare that all Of the
members of the labor unions are will
full violators Of the law. Yet they are
the victims of system which is
breeding anarchy, which already has
put the States Constitution in con-
tempt. which has relentiessly wrong
ed hundreds of thousands of their
fellow citizens.
Thousands Of their fellow citi-
zens, who have not offended them,
which in plain words has applied
lynch law methods to millions Of dol
lars worth of property.

Lightning Destroys Church.

The First Baptist Church building
at Edgefeld was destroyed by fire
Wednesday afternoon. The steeple
was struck by lightning, which caus-
ed the fire. The building was COM
paratively new and cost about s10,-
600. Almost all of the pews with the
other furniture were saved, but the
pipe organ recently installed at a
cost of $4,000, was destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $4,000, with
$500 insurance. The building will
be Immediately replaced.

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.
Clemson College Expert Gives Rules
to Prevent Spread.

Mr.. Ray Powers, one of the expert
in charge Of the Clemson College Ex-
tension work, gives the following
rules to prevent the spread Of chol-
era:
By failure to properly dispose Of
the carcasses of dead hogs. Buz-
yards, dogs, and other animals feed
upon these carcasses and carry in
fection to other premises. All car
easses should be burned or buried i'm
Fmediately. (This is now required by
State law and buzzards should be
destroyed in communities where they
are not protected by law. In COM
munities where these scavengers are
thus protected, the law should be re-
pealed and the birds destroyed.
By persons walking through yards
or fields where sick hogs are kept
and carrying the infection or their
shoes and clothing to other premises
where healthy hogs are confined. 1t
should be remembered that dis
charges from a hog infected with
cholera are very infectious and own
ers should not go, or allow any OF
their help to go on premises where
there are sick hogs. Neither should
they allow neighbors to go among
their hogs when cholera exists in a
community. Healthy hogs should be
cared for by persons who have not
been where the disease exists and no
one else should be allowed near the
healthy drove.
By streams receiving drainage
from infected premises. If streams
running through hog lots are drain
ing infected premises, the hogs
should be Immediately moved to 9TH
or premises.
By buying hogs from premises
where the disease exists or from pub
lie stock yards. Hog cars and stock
wards must always be considered
dangerous.
By allowing neighbors the service
Of your stock hogs. This is dan
gerous practice.
BY failure to isolate newly pur-
chased hogs until their freedom from
disease has been ascertained. New
hogs should be isolated for a month.
If they have cholera or have been ex-
posed, the disease will develop in this
time.

NOTHING CAN BE DONE
WITHDRAWAL OF MILITIA AID
STANDS.
Our Delegation in Congress Expresses
Regret at State Of Affairs But Can
Not Help It.

The withdrawal Of financial aid to
South Carolina State troops has eIc-
tied expressions of regret. Among
the members of the South Carolina
delegation in congress "Wednesday,
the greatest regret was expressed
when the existing condition Of affairs
became thoroughly known. Senator
Smith said it was almost inconceiv-
able. Senator Tillman, when asked
if he had anything to say regarding
the matter, replied that as he saw it
there was nothing he could do to up
set the orders of the war department,
but he would be willing to do what
ever might be possible If he should be
requested to act by responsible par
ties in South Carolina.
81 shall probably have something
to say regarding this matter" Sena-
tor Tillman said, when Queried about
the situation, "but until some one
makes complaint to me, or I have
something to work upon, there Is
nOtn1nS can 40.
II the members Of the different
companies affected by the determine
ton Of the war department to lend
no further assistance, which virtually
means that the command must be dis
banded unless the legislature sees at
to appropriate, take the matter up
with the South Carolina delegation in
congress, it is barely possible that
something might be done, provided
that the governor shows disposition
to receive further government aid.
Unless this is done, however, there Is
but the remotest chance that the
troops will be placed in their former
position and be allowed to have the
same help they have had before the
decision of the war department was
announced.
The fact that many Of the oldest
commands in the State, some of
which date back many years, are to
be denied further financial assistance
from the government, for reasons
now already known, is regretted not
only by the members Of the South
Carolina delegation by former South
Carolinians resident in Washington
and by war department officials, but
by all who are conversant with the
facts in the case

TO PROSECUTE AT ONCE.
President Recommends Several Men
to Replace McNab.

President Wilson Wednesday rec
commended to Attorney General Nc
Reynolds the names of Francis J.
Heney, Matt I. Sullivan, Thomas Hay
den, and others, for appointment as
special prosecutors in the Caminetti-
Diggs white slave cases and the Wes-
tern Fuel Company coal cases. No
final selections were made.
The whole subject was deferred on
account of the congested engagement
list of the President, practically every
moment OF his time from early morn
ing until late at night being occupied
with conferences on currency ano de-
partnental matters. It is expected
that the Attorney General and tho
President will confer at an early
date, however, and settle finally OF
two and possibly three men to con
duct the prosecution Of the cases.
No further comment was forth
coming from the White House or the
department Of justice on the state
ments Of the United States dist1icj
attorney, John L. McNab, whose res
ignaion was accepted by the Pcesi
dent.
