I'VE want to show Governor Will

glad that a resident of the town

The farewell probably will take the
form of reception at the Wilson

GOVERNOR BLEASE
FAILS TO DICTATE
Request for Color Line"
Turned Down

Washington, D. c., Feb. Cole l..
Blease, governor of South Carolina,
has failed in his attempt to dictate
, to the inaugural committee that the
, color line" shall be drawn in beha +
of the South Carolina troops.
The South Carolina executive re-
Gently wrote Gen A. L. Mills, mar
shall of the state militia division in the
parade, that he was willing to order
the Palmetto State troops to Washin g
ton, provided they were not humiliat-
ed by being placed in the rear of negro
troops.
The inaugural authorities have re-
piled to Gov. Blease and refused tn
break any inaugural parade rules in
his behalf. The South Carolina exec
utive was told that the state troops
would be placed in line according to a
fixed rule and that this rule cannot De
broken. The state militia will be ar
ranged in line as follows:
First, the militia of the District Of
Columbia
Second, the militia of the thirteen
original states, according to the date
of their signing the constitution of the
United States.
Third, the militia of the common
wealths, according to the date of their
admission to the union
1t was added in the letter sent the
governor that the inaugural authori-
ties have no right to dictate to a state
what soldiers it can send or cannot
send to Washington for the inaugural
parade
1t is unofficially stated that no negro
troops will march in the Wilson in
augural parade, but the inaugural com
mittee authorities do not intend to
take the responsibility of authorizing
such a statement.
Whether or not South Carolina will
be represented in the inaugural parade
it question still up to Gov Blease.

FARMERS MAY need
ICE TO SAVE MEAT
II Is Now Employed Success
fully

Many farmers here took advantage
of the cold weather of the past few
days and killed their hogs, and the
problem now confronting them is how
to save the meat from spelling in the
eevnt a season of warm weather comes
on, as now seems probable Many
thousands of dollars worth of Sumter
raised meat seems in danger of being
lost
Farmers in Brooks county where a
great deal of fine meat is produced,
have solved the problem of saving it
with ice. Many farmers there use
ice, it is said, and not this season has
any of the meat spoiled. The plan is
to place two 2OO-lb. blocks of ice on
the dirt floor of the smokehouse, and
placing green pinetops upon them. The
meat is piled upon the pinetops, which
gives it ventilation from below. The
meat is placed close to the ice, thu
jointed pieces first, and in this man
ner it keeps at an even temperature
until all danger of loss is passed,
Those who have tried this plan state
that two blocks of ice is sufficient to
keep 1000 pounds of meat for several
weeks, or until it is ready to pack
away.

The couple have been married thirty
nine years.
