WON'T ATTEND INAUGURAL T?
National Guardsmen Much Interested
In Threats OF Governor.

Columbia, Jan. 20.-After arrange
ments had been made by the Charles
ton battalion OF South Carolina
troops to attend the Inauguration OF
Governor Wilson, comes the state
ment from Governor Blease that he
will not permit them to leave the
State. He assigns several reasons,
one of them being that he, as COM
mander-in-chief, had not received an
invitation, and that he will not let
them go unless an invitation is eX-
tended. AS no formal invitations
have been extended it is not likely
that the South Carolinians will par
ticipate in the ceremonies The
troops have paid in advance for
their quarters which they intended
to occupy.
Charlcstonians Wondering.
Charleston Jan. 21. - National
Guardsmen here are much interested
in the possible holding-up Of the trip
to Washington, for which the officers
have been arranging for several
weeks. There is now q petition be-
fore City Council, in the hands OF
the committee of ways and means,
for an appropriation Of $1,000 for
the expenses Of the First Battalion,
Third Infantry, N. g., S. c., and the
soldiers are hoping that Governor
Blease will not adhere to his resolu-
ton to hold up the trip. A National
Guardsman said to-day that he did
not think that the Governor was real
ly serious in his announced purpose
of keeping the soldiers at home. He
is inclined to the opinion that 1t is
just another Of Governor Blease's
flare ups" which will soon be
smoothed over and forgotten, and
that South Carolina will be repre-
sented at the Inauguration, whether
Governor Blease has been slighted
or not in the matter OF an invitation
to attend the inauguration.

ROW AMONG WESTERN soLoNs
They Are Legislating Under Difficult
ties Out in Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 2O.--A riot
broke out in the House of Represen-
tatiVes Of the Wyoming Legislature
to-day when Speaker Pratt and
Speaker Pro TEN Wood both claimed
the right to preside. A violent fight,
which was interrupted by members,
took place between the two officers.
Violence continued three-quarters of
an hour and included two separate
encounters between Pratt and Wood
The situation was ended when cool
headed leaders Of either faction an
nounced an agreement to let the
question of authority rest until the
afternoon. With Wood sitting in the
Speakers chair and Pratt welding
the gavel, the show of authority
seemed about equal.
The trouble began when Speaker
Pratt attempted to resume the chair,
which was occupied by Mr. Wood,
who sat staunchly in his place until
Pratt, grasping him by the shoulders,
threw him from the platform. Wood
promptly arose and rushed back, and
the men struggled until several men
got them apart. WELDING the gavel,
Pratt declared the House adjourned
Using paper weight for a gavel,
Wood shouted to the sergeaDt-at-
arms to close the doors, and then
called for roll call. Standing over
the chief clerk, gavel in hand, Pratt
forbade the calling of the roll. Pratt
attempted again to- get his own chair,
and when Representative Sproul, a
Democrat, attempted to interfere, he
was kicked In the stomach by the
Speaker. Farther violence was
ayerted

CORN CLUE PRIZE WINNERS.
Decisions Made and Winners An
nOunced i'm Boys Corn Contest.

The history of the corn club work
among the boys in Oconee during the
past year shows that the viyacity OF
youth, with It's high anticipations, is
sometimes overcome with the heat
Of the struggle and attendant dis
couragements. At the beginning OF
the year very creditable number OF
boys entered their names on the roll
but continued unfayorable seasons
through the spring and summer were
too much for the majority, and they
fell by the wayside and gave up try
ing. Others continued to work and
made excellent yields, but failed to
write up the history Of their work,
or did not bring In their ten-ear ex-
hibit, or failed to make the report
required by the rules and were
therefore barred from the race.
AS we look down the home stretch
we see only six boys and one young
lady chats off to her, boys,) striving
for the goal. But even that is en-
couraging for those who have been
in charge and they are ready to take
up the work again for 1913.
The young man making ne high
est general average is John G.. Lee In
the Poplar Springs section, the sec
ond Is Stiles Stribling, of ,Richland.
Under the conditions these two young
men Will get free trip to Columbia
for one week In attendance upon tho

9th to February 9Th. There are
some other prizes of minor imports

per that the Legislature should give

Some Senator'S Led by Reed Object

THREE FACTIONS DEVELOP
IN COTTON FUTURES FIGHT

Washington, Oct. 1.-The entire
conference report on the tariff bill

among the Democratic Senator's
which resulted in the calling of a
party caucus to go over the confer

and amendments agreed to by the
conference committee which de-

Three distinct elements have de-
veloped among the Democrats in the
cotton futures fight. One branch,
led by Representative Hardwick of
Georgia, demanded that the whole
subject be taken out of the tariff
bill and considered as a separate
measure, Another section, led by
Representative Wingo of Arkansas,
insisted that tho House should ac-

lnendment in the Senate. Repre-

CLAIMS OFFICIAL
Big Four Man Says Road Has Right
to Put in the goth Street
Switch.
SAYS ORDINANCE OF 1888
GIVES THEM PRIVILEGE

Relative to the matter of laying
a switch track across Twentieth
street to extend down Railroad
street to Eighteenth. the Big Four
railroad company, feels that 1t is
entirely in its rights, according to
the statement OF local official of
the road yesterday.
In 1886. when the old C. c. C. and
st. l.. railroad was forced to abandon
it's tracks on Commercial avenue.
the road was given the privilege to
construct tracks on both the cas-
and west sides of Railroad street
south OF Twenty-sixth street, ac-
cording to the official. who claims
that such privileges are clearly de-
fined in the ordinance granted that
road at that time.
While the official admitted thai
the Big Four would be criticised for
it's action Sunday morning and
Monday noon, in attempting to Sc
cretly put in the switch, he stated
that their competitor would have
displayed similar tactics and that his
road merely took such means of pro-
lection as lay open to them.
In answer to the query as 10 why
the Big Four attempted to construct
the line under the prohibitive means
that were employed, when they as
serted they were entitled to the priv
ilege under a previous ordinance, he
stated 1t was a mere oversight on
their part.
They had overlooked the old
grant he stated, and the intention
was to put in the switch, In such a
manner on Sunday morning so that
1t would take an injunction on the
part OF the competing road to have
them yacate, and the rule posses
sion is nine points of the law"
would so a long way in gaining
what they believe to be their right.
There was no desire TO put any
thing over on the city, the official
| stated. and neither did the Big Four
AXE issue with the city to prevent
the operation at Twentieth street
by force.
The company. he concluded, is de-
Sirous of having the matter passed
IN in the courts, being willing to
labde by the decision thus handed
down
