WANTS TO
PURCHASE PEANUTS
REPRESENTATIVE OF EASTERN
CONCERN HERE YESTERDAY
READY TO BUY CROP.

+, b. Bain of Norfolk, Va, repre-
sentng the American Peanut Corpo-
ration, was in the city yesterday to
purchase what peanuts were grown
in this section. Mr. Balm stated this
country was particularly adapted to
peanut culture and was surprised that
more had not taken to their cultiva-
tion.
Walter Colbert has been preaching
peanuts in this section for long time
and his missionary work is beginning
10 Lave some effect. He raised a good
crop himself this season and no doubt
the acreage will be materially in
increased next year. There is good
money in peanuts and experience has
demonstrated that as a money crop
it has the best of cotton and is prac-
tically sure crop.

Newspaper Thieves.

Complaint is received at this Of
fee daily from people who fail to
receive their paper. 1t is the cause
of a great deal of worry upon the
part of the circulator and he strives
in every way imaginable to give good
service and impress upon the minds
of the carrier boys the Importance
of throwing the subscribers papers
upon th/ porch or inside their
yard fences. In some instances the
carrier boys are to blame, but in
majority of the cases they are not
responsible. In some cases after they
deposit the paper it is taken away
by some passing non subscriber who
"sneaks" it before the subscriber has
time to get to it.
A case of this kind was called to
the attention of the management yes
terday, and the business manager au-
thorzes the offer of liberal re-
ward for any information that will
lead to the arrest and conviction OF
any of these vandals and an effort will
be made to put an end to this form
of petty larceny.

FUNDS NEEDED
FOR CEMETERY
NOTES DUE WITH NO MONEY TO
MEET THEM. SOMETHING MUST
BE DONE, SAYS MAYOR.

Last night at the meeting of the
city commissioners, the cemetery
proposition was brought up and dis
cussed, but no definite action was ta-
ken until some plan can be evolved
whereby money can be raised to i'm
prove conditions that exist.
Under the laws of the state a city
cannot make levy for the maintain
ance of the cemetery and as the rev.
enue derived from the present source
is very small the cemetery is rapidly
dropping into a state of dilapidation.
The mayor sta/d last night that he
believed he would call a mass meet
ing of the citizens of the city and
see if permanent cemetery organ!-
zation could not be established and
every owner of lots there compelled
to pay small amount each year TO
keep them clean of weeds and get
revenue in that manner to help pay
off the debt /jw hanging over
the cemetery. The city DYES o. S.
Bailey for the land and the first note
is already due with no funds with
which to meet it. The mayor stated
he would try and make some arrange
ments with Mr.. Bailey whereby he
might be satisfied for the present
In the meantime some plan must be
evolved TO relieve the situation if,
as the mayor remarked, it had to be
done by private subscription.

weston, Texas, close to 10000 United
States troops ready to board transpul -
there and depart for Mexico on few
hours notice
The president, here tonight to at
tend banquet of the American Peace
and Arbitration League, is just as
much opposed to Intervention as he
has been for two years. He is deter
mined however, that he will "lay the
cards on the table" so that when NJ.

arises all he will heye to do is to play
them
Through Secretary Hilles the presi-
dent announced tonight that the dis
patch of brigade of troops to Calves
ton today was part of the original pre-
cautionary plan and that it would be
followed by another order, which
would send between 5000 and 1900
more regulars to the bundary.
Galveston is within three days of
Vera Cruz, the seaport of Mexico City.
Four transports will be ready there to
take troops south if the contingency
arises and with battleships on the At

tie president feels that Mr.. Wilson will
have no cause to complain Of urpre-
paredness if the unexpected happens.

Governors Reasons For
Naming DR.. HOuSeal

eral assembly, however, saw fit not to
do so.
When 1 was first elected governor,
! offered the position Of Superinten-
dent of the State Hospital for the In
sane to DR.. w. Gustave Houseal. He
declined it, telling me the work would
not suit him and that he could not
afford to take it, and did not want it.
At the biginning of my present term [
again asked him about the matter,
and he again declined it.
Yesterday, after he was defeated for
trustee of the Medical College, l sent
his name to your body as Superinten-
dent of the State Hospital for the In
sane, Knowing full we'll that if he
was confirmed he would not accept
it. Nor did | expect you to confirm
his appointment, after the action of
the general assembly yesterday. But
| wanted to put on record before the
people of South Carolina thai thought
w. Gustave Houseal worthy o. the
most honorable position within my gift
as governor, so far as the medical pro-
fession is concerned, w.iatGver your
general assembly may think of him to
the contrary notwithstanding. BY
your not confirming him you have
gained nothing. for he certAi..!:: would
/ not have accepted i; H. is now IN
Norfolk, Va, and repeated efforts to
get in communication with him have
failed But if he had been reached
his answer would have been, q will
not accept"
paid him this compliment for my
own reasons. YOUR refusal to confirm
him has certainly not injured his repu-
tatic4 nor have you gained any poll
tical achievement as against me in the
matter
If you will read Section OF Article
12 of the Constitution of South Caro-
lima, you will see that | have the pow
er to remove the Superintendent of
the State Hospital for the Insane, and
! all that l woald have to do, if SO
desired, would be to wait until you ad-
journ, remove DR.. Babcock and ap-
point Dr. Houseal. But, as l have
just stated, and repeat, the purpose
for which DR.. Housears name was
sent you has been accomplished, and
if DR.. Babcock were to die or to be
removed DR.. Houseal has too fine a
practice to give it up to accept the
position.
Very respectfully,
Cole. l. Blease,
Governor

ELECTION PRECEDES PRIMARY.
Date Assigned by Governor for Elec-
tiOB is Nearly Month in AdYanYe
of Date Fixed for Primary.

The News and Courier received last
night an official proclamation from
Governor Blease fixing April % as the
date for the general election for the
office of congressman from the 1st
district. This date is nearly month
in advance of the date-May 21-fiXed
by the State democratic executive COM
mittee for the primary at which the
democratic nominee is to be chosen.
The proclamation reached The News
and Courier at late hour last night
and efforts were at once made to get
in touch with the governors Office in
Columbia These efforts, however,
we're fruitless. ~r. John K. Aull, the
private secretary of the governor, was
finally located, however, and when
asked whether or not the date named
in the proclamation was an error, re-
piled that it was not.
Mr. Aull, on being asked for an ex-
planation, stated that Governor Blease
had named April % as the date of the
election because in the first place he
considered it important that in view
of the change in the national admins
tration, the 1st South Carolina district
should have representation in congress
as soon as possible. In the second
place, said Mr.. Aull, the governor had
stated some time ago, and his state
ment had been published in the New
and Courier, that he thought he would
order the election about the second
Tuesday in April Notwithstanding
this published statement of the gov
ernor's, said Mr.. Aull, and notwith-
standing the fact that Governor Blease
had secured information from the
county chairmen of the counties in the
1st district and from the candidates
themselves regarding the ADVISABLE
ty of primary and regarding the date
on which it should be held, with a
view to comforting with the executive
committee regarding the matter, the
committee met and, although it was
in the same building with the governor
proceeded to name a date for the pri-
mary without calling him into con-
sultation at ALL In view of all these
facts, said Mr.. Aull, the governor con-
sidered that April 90 would be the best
date for the election, and had, there
fore, ordered the election to be held on
that date.
The situation thus created is an ex-
traordinary and interesting one. AS
matters now stand, the primary, at
which the democratic nominee is to be
chosen, is scheduled for date nearly
a month after the general election at
which the new congressman is elected.
Mr. John Gary Evans, of Spartan
burg, chairman of the State demo
cratic executive committee, when ask
ed last night over long distance tele-
phone what move the comr'ittec would
make in view of the 4 a;t'.,n OF Cover
ner Blease, stated thai ne d:j not
know whether or not the committee
would do anything further i'll the mat
ter.
