BLEASE is NO FACTOR
DOES NOT FIGURE IN THE PAT
RONAGE MATTER.
President Wilson Wants to Please
Both Senators Because They Have
Been True and Loyal.

Been True and Loyal.
The Washington correspondent Of
The News and Courier says readers
Of that journal may have noted that
he has never undertaken to explain
the course Of the content for the dis
trict attorneyship and the marshall
ship in terms Of the presidents con-
jectured attitude towards the candi-
dacy Of Governor Blease for the Sen
ate. Such explanation seems grattui-
tous and far-fetched.
All Of the evidence which has come
within the ken of The News and
Courier's correspondent has led him
to regard the disagreement Of the
two Palmetto State Senators over the
district attorneyship as the cause Of
the administration worry, and not
the probable effect Of this or that ap-
potntment on the Blease candidacy.
There is no reason to conclude that
Attorney General McReynolds recon-
mended Weston and Sims because he
did not think them the best material
presented for the places. AS to the
president, he has taken no action
whatever, and wants the Senators to
agree before he does so. By the
same reasoning that explains the At
tcrney Generals recommendations on
the theory Of a desire to injure
Blease, the Presidents failure to act
on the Attorney Generals recommen-
dations would be interpreted as indi-
eating a desire to help Blease.
The plain fact is that the admin
istration has failed to reach finally
with regard to the district attorney
ship and the marshalship because Of
the Presidents wish to accord each
Senator his due, and particularly be-
cause Of his wish to retain the cor
dial support Of each Democratic Sen
ator, who has been regular" In
backing up the Wilson policies. The
President does not intend to give Of
fence to either Senator Tillman or
Senator Smith if he can help it; and
he really can not afford to take
chances Of alternating or chilling sup
port in the Senate in view Of the i'm
portance Of keeping a Macedonian
phalanx Of mapority votes in readji-
ness for use.
There have been similar disagree
ments between senior and junior
Democratic Senators in other States
than South Carolina over patronage
questions. The present deadlock
would in all probability have existed
lust the same if there had been no
Blease. The whole trouble came
about from disagreement between
the two Senators, and the additional
district bill represents an effort to
solve the tie-up by providing dis
trict In which each Senator shall have
the say as to the offices, as is the sit
uation in North Carolina, where Sen
ator Simmons has just recommended
a district attorney and marshall for
the eastern district and Senator
O7erman has done the same for the
western district.

Number of People.

Several people were injured when

control Of his machine with the above
results. Mrs. King, mother Of Wal

worst. She received the full force of

slightly bruised. James Shearn was
bruised and his clothes badly torn.
Mcdowell Lewis received cut on the
temple and a negro nurse was knock
ed down. Little Jack Nettles, who
was with the nurse, was thrown on
one of the planes of the machine but
was uninjured. Mr.. Terrell received
a bruised arm when thrown from his
seat.
The accident happened so quickly
that people were dumfounded, women
and children became hysterical and
rushed toward the injured to see il
any were their friends or relatives
Others, more timid, ran towards the
exhibit building fearing to look upon
the injured, VIII lay writhing on the
ground.
DR.. Corbett was Immediately to the
side of Mr.. King and DR.. Brasingtor
went to Mrs. Kings rescue. They
were hurt the worst. Others went tc
Mr.. Terrell's aid, who was on the
ground near the fence, in front Of
the machine. For several minutes
small panic reigned. but the crowd
was soon calmed by the assurance OF
a number Of influential men that the
injuries were not serious. Mr.. Ter
rell broke down and wept, and it was
some time before he could be induced
to leave the ground and return to the
hotel where he is stopping. Tn aecei'
dent apparently was unavoidable
The crowd had been warned not tc
go on the ground where the accident
took place, but in their anxiety to gel
a good view did not heed the warn
ings.

The Southern Woman's Magazine
says: "Of old, wars and rumors of
war were held to presage the end Of
tile world. but we know better now.
The more there IS done to promote
peace, the stronger grows the war
spirit. 1t is clear that this 'terrestial
sphere is no happy home for milk
sops. Even the peace advocates have
grown noisy and militant since Mr.
Carnegie placed their cause upon
war footing. Apparently the dove of
peace is about to grow spurs and a
comb"

the house committee on agriculture.
Mr. Lever declared that the meet
ing was q most important one, Illus
trating the fact that agriculture was
in a state Of transition and that the
people of South Carolina we're fully
awake to the possibilities in farming.
when I was first elected to con-
gress the cattle tick proposition was
put before the committee on agricul-
ture, OF which I was member" said
Mr.. Lever. "The government Is spend
ing through the bureau Of animal in
dustry the sum Of s375.0o0 each year
now to fight the cattle tick.
"The question which most concerns
this conference Is whether South Car
olina will put herself in readiness to
receive the cooperation Of the federal
government in the fight against the
tick" continued Mr.. Lever. 81 do not
believe that there has been any lack
Of organization in the cattle tick work
which has resulted In wiping out the
pest and raising the federal Quaran-
tine in a number Of Counties, but I
do think that there Is decided need
that the scope Of the work be en-
larged.
"The State is getting now $4,000
from the federal government for cat
tie tick eradication and about $4,000
from Clemson college. Experts esti-
mated that the tick is costing the
State from s1,000,000 to s3,000,000
each year. II We hasten the process
Of eradication, we will save the State
enormous sums.
"I do not believe that there will
be any difficulty about getting an
appropriation from the State for the
fight on the cattle tick II the legisla-
tors will prove to the people that the
tax money for this purpose Is being
wisely expended. The federal depart
ment of agriculture is beginning to
demand that the people should show
disposition to help themselves be-
fore It helps them. II I go to Secre-
tary Houston Of the department, who
Is one Of the very biggest men in the
cabinet, and tell him that the South
Carolina legislature has appropriated
$4,000 for tick eradication, you can
bet your bottom dollar that the State
will get $4,000 from the federal de-
partment of agricultude to aid in wip-
ing out the tick.
81 believe that this is an oppor-
tunity for your general assembly to
do something Fundamentally big for
the farmers Of South Carolina" de-
clared Mr.. Lever. "With the invasion
Of the boil weevil only few years
of South Carolina must break away
from the thralldom OF King Cotton
and branch out in other lines Of agri-
culture. The boil weevil is coming,
and it will work havoc with out one
legged system Of agriculture. We
might as well, therefore, prepare for
the coming. storm and give the farm
ers more legs to stand on by encour-
aging the live stock. poultry and 9TH
er industries which can be carried on
upon the farms Of South Carolina"
In closing his speech, Mr.. Lever
moved that committee be appointed
to urge the appropriation of $4,000
for cattle tick eradication in South
Carolina before the general assembly.
The conferees on cattle tick eradi-
cation in South Carolina we're the
guests of the Columbia Chamber Of
Commerce at a luncheon at the Jef-
ferson hotel after the meeting. A
number Of interesting speeches were
made after the luncheon.
