GOVERNORS FAVOR PDAN.

ton.
(To be continucd.)

Denver, Col, Aug. 27.-The Denver
Post today prints u statement of 10
governors attending the conference of
sc vernors at Colorado Springs on
President Wilson's Mexican message
Most OF them are favorable.
Gov. Mcdonald, New Mexico, de-
clared the president was right in his
views as to the hopeiessness of
Hucrta's attempts to restore order.
"As to armed Intervention" he added.
Il can not say that l am in favor
of it,"
Gov. Colquitt Texas, remarked
Wilson seems to have come around
to the opinion Of the Texas governor
when he says peace and Hucrta are
at opposite poles"
Gov. SlatOn, Georgia. said the Unit
ed States would not be justified in
Intervention except under the neces-
sity OF protecting its own citizens.
Gov. Ebcrhardt Minnesota, ap-
proves the policy of the government
and is opposed to Intervention.
Gov. Spry, Utah, said: Il am in
favor Of doing the job right and tax
ing over tho entire country for our
selves"
Ultimate war with Mexico is fore
cast by Gov. Byrne of South Da-
kota, who says the Wilson plan
| looks to be rather weak policy
Gov Lister, Washington said: III
seems to me that the presidents posi-
tion is logical"
Gov. O'Ncal, Alabama: "Huertf
can never pacify the country, and i
would be disgraccful for this country
To recognize Il man like him l sc,
no occasion for Intervention by thi.
! country"

was success, but be ii said to its
everlasting credit it has seen the evil
effects of selling human life and blood
TO the highest bidder and at the last
session of the legislature the purchase
Of 10000 acres Of land was authorized
and s25O,O00 appropriated to start
in farming. They must realize that il
is an Improvement over the old lease
system. All of the Southern States
are now engaged in working their
convicts on farms.
South Carolina, in days gone by,
has tried leasing convicts to the phos-
phate mines, to railroads and to pri-
Vate parties at what seemed to be fair
wages. Did it prove successful? am
willing for the records to show. Is
not a fact that until the State farms
were purchased and operated that
the legislature, at every session, had
to make an appropriation for tbs SUD-
port of the penitentiary? What are
the conditions now? During the last
l5 years more than $685. 900 has been
placed in the State treasury and more
than that amount spent in permanent
improvements. all of which come from
the net earnings of the penitentiary.
Not a dollar has been appropriated
by the legislature for maintenance
or otherwise.
Where did the money come from
If not from the farms? The farms
are open to inspection any time by
citizens of the State. There they will
find about $500 acres in cultivation,
equally divided in cotton, corn and
small grain. The cultivation is done
with 50-odd mules raised on the farm.
The farms are we'll stocked with cat,
tie and hogs The magnificent crops Of
cotton and corn now in sight bear tes-
timony to latest scientific methods OF
farming. 1t is a great object lesson
and an inspiration to those engaged in
farming. Above all, the visitors will
find the convicts healthy and we'll
cared for and engaged in work they
have been accustomed to all of their
lives.
Having given expression to my
honest convictions on this great ques-
ton, this article is respectfully sub
mitted to the people Of South Caro-
lima for their consideration"

heard a gentleman say the other
day in Washington, quoting one of the
leading men of the United States, that
the gentleman quoted had said that
he had always had respect for at least
one thing about Tillman, he was hon
est and hated corruption. But when
he saw Tillman shed tears over the
expulsion Of Lorimer, those tears in.
stantly washed out the little good
opinion he had. l told him you were
perhaps blinded in the Lorimer case
by personal affection. But l can
imgaine no personal affection between
you and Whaley; nor can there be any
social or political affection. He rep
resents the things which you capital
lied in arraying the people of the
State against Charleston. OF course
YOU advocated some things which you
might say all of us in Charleston op-
posed, the dispensary, for instance
But on the other hand all those re.
forms designed to lift up the poor
man and alleviate his awful condi-
ton in South Carolina many of us
profoundly favored. But it Is for just
those things that Whaley and his
whole crowd hate you. They were
wearing the silk stockings and they
wanted the people as a whole to con-
tinue to SO in rags. And l an sure
that if the gentleman above quoted
could be informed Of the way in which
you have haggled and hesitated about
unseating Whaley, while at the same
time talking through the press, ETC.,
about Blease and corruption, it would
be impossible to convince him that
you had ever been sincere in even
your advocacy of reforms for the
poor.
Pardon me If you think my letter
very plain, but the aggravation is
great. Don't say that you have more
important things, because there is
nothing so important. Representa-
tive government is a failure if our
representatives are to be those only
who do not mind committing perjury.
Tillmanism was worse than in vain;
1T was an objectionable crime; and
the blood that was shed and the men
that are dead because of it will rise
up and curse the man who began it
unless he hold to it's professed ideals.
The fortune which made you what
you are forbids you to have q friend.
(Apologics TO Junius) If your
right arm in Charleston politics scan
dalize you, cpt it off and cast it from
YOU; and let Tillmansm in it's Fast
fruits correspond with Tillmanism in
the seed; or verify shall it come to
pass that the tree which has not borne
good fruit shall be cut down and cast
into the fire. Yours very truly,

the Legislature could do, at its next
session, would be to authorize the
purchase of at least four farms, 20 be
located in different sections of the
mental stations. Labor enough from
the hosiery mill har ds could be fur
nished to operate them, aside from
the dangerous characters who can not

MORE TAXES OR MORE BONDS.

The Democratic organ here at the
capital says that everybody knows
that the State is heavily in debt and
that there is no escaping the fact
that taxes must be raised or more
bonds must be sold.
The Democratic machine has al
ready sold bonds until they could not
sell any more. They had to mortgage
the State to the American Tobacco
Company to get them to buy the last
issue. When they could not sell any
more bonds, even to a trust, then
they proceeded to raise the taxes.
Faced with this condition and with
a deficit of three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars, we ask why, in the name
of high heaven, common sense and
common honesty does not it require
that expenses be reduced SO that the
State can live within its income.
With an honest and economical ad-
ministration the State can be run on
less than the present amount of
taxes.
