When shown the above interview,

Governor Blease's interview and l
know of nothing in this military con-
troversy in which l do not approve Of
the governors conduct. l am salts

True Hero.

heroism of the Albanians, whose
country is at the present moment be-
ing devasted by the war in the Bal
kans. An incident showing how in
born is the courage of that daring
people, has just been related by a
British war correspondent, Captain
Trapmann.
He was cycling alone an Albanian
road one day, when he came across a
bright little girl of about six and a
boy of five. The girl was asking for
bread. He got off and spoke to her,
and she Immediately understood he
was a foreigner, and it appeared to
her that he could not be anything but
a Turk At once both children look

and admiration the little fellow caught

tsWalt Whitman wasn't as success
full as the English poet, Alfred Noyes,
in making both ends meet with his
poetry" said a Philadelphia editor.
waits muse had nothing like the
shallow, commonplace, commercial
quantity of the young Englishman's.
''I used to visit Walt Whitman in
his old age in his little, two-story,
wooden house in Mickle street, Cam
den. One day-it's pleasant SOU
venir, this of old-time Philadelphia
one day in December I said to him:
"'Well, Walt, how are things going
this winter? Any Christmas subscrip-
tions needed?'
"'No,' said the old poet. No, indeed
I'm working now. I'm working for
George W. Childs. He pays me $50 a
month
"'Good!' said I. And what's your
Job with Childs?
"Riding in the horse cars said
Walt, 4 ride about the city, 1 talk to
the drivers and conductors I find out
which of them need winter overcoats,
and, guessing their size, 1 notify

It's easy, pleasant work, and it saves
Childs a lot of trouble over measure
ments and so forth. -"

ADJT. GEN. MOORE REPLIES.
Says He Did Not 'BIunder," But Did
Duty, and Newspaper Criticism
Was Unjust
,ditor The Herald and News:

Editor The Herald and News:
Replying to your editorial under
date of July oath, am very much
surprised at your attitude in this
matter, especially it following my fiat
denial as to having ordered these en-
campments home AS stated, did
not issue any order whatever regard
ing their return home, but when the
question of subsistence was presnt-
ed to me, 1 stated that there being
no funds in my hands belonging to
these organizations I could not pay
their subsistence, as you should know
there is :: statutory law prohibiting
any State officer from contracting OBJ
legations against the State in excess
of appropriations for their depart
ments, consequently you can readily
understand that l was poWerless to
meet this demand. Hence, instead Of
blundering, as stated by you, 1 have
simply complied with the law in this
unfortunate condition, and instead Of
being censured by the editor of a pa
per like yours, should at least be
commended for my faithful perfor-
nance of duty. The question raised
by you with regard to the Orangeburg
company is untenable insofar as the
law is concerned, as you could not
make the exception covering this
company as against the other four
companies who were in exactly the
same condition, so far as the. re-
quirements imposed by the Federal
government is concerned, you cannot
make such determinations as suggest
ed by you without a violation of the
law, and this I could not do however
much l would have liked to help out
Capt. Claffy and his company, for, as
stated, his company has always
shown up very creditably in the past.
1 do not object to fair and honest
criticism, because I fully realize as
a State official all of my official acts
are open to public criticism, but l do
not think you have been fair in the
stand in which you have taken re-
garding this subject. Your editorial
has the ear mark of bias and preju-
dice toward me that is entirely un-
warranted by the facts in this case,
and while l dislike to think that you
colld be actuated from your usual
feeling in this matter, I am at loss
to assign any other motive to one who
should be governed by desire for
fair play. I trust you will give this
reply the same prominence that your
editorial occupied.
Very respectfully,
VIM w Moore,
Adjutant General

my point in that and the military men
of the State are delighted with my
action in this matter and are pleas
ed that Secretary Garrison and myself
were able to come to amicable agree
ment
"It is pity that a journal like
yours would publish such cowardly
lie without first obtaining the true
facts.
please publish this letter, to show
to the people what liar you are.

Replying to the governors criti-
cisms in several papers of July 24uh
as to my having drawn pay during
the recnt encampment of the 3rd reg
iment infantry at Aiken, S. c., l beg
to state emphaically that this state
ment is without any foundation, as l
have not only not drawn pay,
but stated to number Of officers
and to the former adjutant gen.
eral, John D. Frost, some time
prior to my going to encampment,
that while in accordance with circu-
lar froh war department l was
legally and. morally entitled to draw
Lay during these encampments, I
could not conscientiously do so, oW-
ing to the deficiency of funds appro-
priated to the national guards, as 1
feel that they needed it more than l
did. This statemnt only goes to
prove further the animus displayed
toward me by the governor, and his
usual aptness to make statements
that cannot be sustained by facts.
Col. Babb, the disbursing officer OF
South Carolina will sustain my state
ments regarding my refusal to accept
pay during these enacmpments.

GOV. BLEASE WAS AT
POMARIA ON FRIDAY
HAS NOTHING TO Do WITH GOV
ERNORS RACE, HE SAYS.
Wants a Supervisor for Newberry
County Who Will Give County
Some Roads.

,
Some Roads.
W77' q
Discussing several vital issues be-
fore the people of South Carolina as
we'll as local county issues, and con-
tradicting the reports which have
been circulated to the effect that he
is supporting any particular candi-
date for governor in the primary next
summer, Governor Cole. L. Blease
delivered an address before a big
crowd at a barbecue at Pomaria on
Friday. The governor came up to
Pomaria in an automobile, accom-
panied by Assistant Attorney General
Fred. H Dominick, Mr.. Warren
Blease, of Georgia, and Master Julius
Blease Eison. He spoke at the ur-
gent insistence of a number of peo-
pie saying he had only come up to
shake hands with his friends and to
eat Newberry cue.
The governor referred to the fact
that he would probably have the ap-
pointment of supervisor in Newber-
ry county at an early date, Mr.. Hill
having been appointed postmaster,
and the appointment of his successor
being in the hands Of the governor
when Mr.. Hills nomination is con-
frmed and he resigns his position as
supervisor. The governor said that
he would appoint somebody who
would give him a promise that he
would not be a candidate for the
position in the election next year,
as he wanted somebody who would
work some roads in NeWberry coun-
ty, and would not be afraid to do so.
The appointment, he said, would be
only until the next general election,
in November, 1914. He said some of
the roads over which he had travelled
on Friday morning were disgrace to
the county and to civilization, and
he wanted somebody as supervisor
who would give Newberrv county
some decent roads.
Referring to various reports which
have been going the rounds that he
is lending his support to particular
candidates for governor, Governor
Blease said that he had nothing to do
with whom the people elected gov
ernor, and he did not propose to ask
one of his brothers or most intimate
friends to vote for any particular can
didate. The people had elected him,
he said, and he had done his duty as
he saw it.
The governor referred to the fact,
in beginning his address, that his first
speech at Pomaria was delivered in
the campaign of 1888, when he was
first a candidate before the people Of
NeWberry county, and ne spoke Teel-
ingly Of his love for his home county.
He was among his home folks, and
the thread of this sentiment ran
through his whole address.
He discussed number of issue be-
fore the people Of South Carolina ex-
pressing his opinions and his views
frankly and forcefully.
The governor has had opportunity
to deliver only few addresses in his
home county since he was chosen
chief executive, and it was a plea
sure for the people of the Pomaria
section to have him with them and
to hear him.
Governor Blease returned to CO.
lumbia Immediately after his ad-
dress.
Governor Blease was briefly intro
duced by Mr. E. H Aull.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
CHANGES AGAIN

Effective to day the Western
Maryland Railway are running
passenger trains in and out OF
Belington as follows:
Train leaves Elkins $50 in the
morning and arrives in Belington
at 6:35, remains in Belington un-
til 11:25 a. m. then goes to Elkins
and arrives there at 1910 return
ing 2:20 p. m. and arrives in Bel
ington 3:05, lays over until 8:45,
leaves south and arrives in Elkins
$50 p. m.
Transfers are all made here for
B. & o. passenger trains in and
out. The Western Maryland use
their own coaches, engine and
train crew.. while the B. & 0. use
their own. The scene at the
Union Station today at IL a. m.
indicated that both roads had a
pretty big job on their hands in
the transferring. The B. & O..
passenger pulled in, unloaded and
backed out, and gave room for
the Western Maryland to back in,
so in about half an hour when the
transferring was all done the
Western Maryland train pulled
out with a big load in a trump
hant manner indicating that she
still had the right-of-way be-
tween Belington and poi n
south.
The B. & o. train and train
crew lay over here as formerly,
and will run their trains on about
the same schedule as heretofore.
The fight is on between the two
roads, but the B. & 0. will again
get the best of the Western Mary
land when it comes to totaling up
the revenue for the passenger
traffic is just about the same as
before, except the transferring,
and the only way out of it for the
Western Maryland is for them to
complete the B. & N. extension,
then the B. & o. won't need their
double track between here and
Grafton as they do today.

MAIN Line OF B & N WILL
CUT OUT FAIRMONT
VIII Cross County Directly From Catawba
To Colfax, IT'S Said

FAIRMONT, w. Va, July 9th.
That the main line of the new
Buckhannon and Northern rail-
road will not pass through Fair
mont on it's route from Rivesville
to Belingtcn but will 60 direct
across country from Catawba to
Colfax, seems to be the belief in
railroad circles at the present
time and it is being backed by
the energies Of the engineers Of
the company who have spent the
past several days going over the
route. Should this b e decided
upon, it will be no detriment to
Fairmont, railroaders say, for it
will do away with the heavy
freight traffic of the road passing
through the city. An extension
will be constructed into the city,
terminals provided here and all
passenger trains will enter and
leave the local station.

Currency Bill

WASHINGTON, July st h e
currency bill, when it was intro
duced, was not as good as it might
have been, nor as it will be when
it is finally made law. There
was little evidence that in franz
ing it some Difference had been
given to a quarter where splendid
ethical impulses are unhappily
associated with economic heresies
Probably the only misfortune at
tending this is the fact that the
Administration will not be able
to push this bill as energetically as
the tariff bill, as to which it has
been possible to say that any
Democrat who resists it is trait
or to bis party administration,

The Boomerang

The Senate spent ten valuable
days conducting an inquiry into
the existance of a lobby. This
episode began with President
Wilson'S public expression of a
wish that the lobby would go
home and leave Congress free to
attend to the public business.
The President had nothing more
in mind than to free Senators
and Members from the annoying
opportunities to which they are
subjected, and expedite the pas
sage of the tariff bill. But some
Republican Senators, led by Mr..
Cummins of Iowa, took the Presi-
dents utterance as a reflection
on them, proposed an investiga-
ton which was called by an in
nocuous title, but which was
really meant to embarrass the
President by creating doubt of
the accuracy of his assertion. 1t
is the clearest proof of the inno-
cence of Senator Cummins's mind
that the investigation has much
more than justified all the Presi-
dent said. Also it has greatly
enlarged his prestige, and has in
creased the power of dominating
the Senate which that prestige
Qiyes him.
