MANY VETERANS DENIED.
Gen. league Says He Distribted Leg
islative Fund as Directed by [.
G.. V. Convention.
To the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
l thank you in the name of the
Confederate veterans Of South Caro-
lima for the effort you are making to
raise an additional fund towards pay
ing the way to Gettysburg of those
who were not reached by the legisla-
tive fund. 1 have had over 200 at
tested certificates of those who fought
in that battle, Sc have received checks
from me and there are still la un-
provided for and every mail brings
another application or inquiry.
A circular letter will be issued by
me in day or two explaining that
a resolution passed by the Aiken re-
union convention sustains me in dis
bursting the legislative fund as l did:
Taking Columbia as a central point,
the average realroad fare would be
for each veteran about SIG, so to send
the balance would require fund OF
say $2,4OO. The legislature should
have appropriated an ample amount,
since it gave no fund for our re-
union this year eve were allowed the
unused fund appropriated the year
before). The citizen tax payers OF
the State should now rally and do the
proper thing-since the legislature did
not. Pennsylvania will spend nearly
a half million dollars on this cele-
bration. New York State has appro-
priated s125, 900 to carry her veterans
to it. Massachusetts, gives $4,000.
Connecticut $4,000 and all other
Northern States large funds. Of course
they are more able to give than our
State but these appropriations show
spnit of llberality and these funds
are no. restricted to the Union Teter-
ans alone but are given also to the
Ccnfcdeyates who are citizens of these
commonW ealths. How the hearts OF
our old veterans will beat with glad
ness and pride if South Carolina
proves that she has not forgotten
tnem!

TO HOLD UP DISPENSARY FUNDS
Governor Says Columbia is Entitled
to Only Third.
Aiken, June 2C

Columbia, June 21-Gov. Blease ad-
dressed a letter to the Richland coun-
ty dispensary board this morning
telling them he understands that the
city of Columbia got so per cent. OF
the dispensary profits last year, when
she was entitled to only one-third, and
he instructs the board, if after in
vestigation, they find this to be fact,
to hold up any further part of the
dispensary profits to the city until
the average has been made up. This
amounts to over $4,000.
The following is copy of the gov
ernor's letter:
"Mr. William H. Castor, Chairman
Richland County Dispensary Board,
Columbia, S. C.-Dear Sir: The acts
of 1912 provided that one-third of
the dispensary profits of Richland
county should go to the county treas
urer for ordinary county expenses,
one-third for the county school fund
or for roads and bridges, and one
third for the municipality in which
the the dispensary was located. This
law was in effect up until the 1st day
of March, 1913. 1t is reported that
the division of profits in Richland
county was not made in this manner,
but that one-half of the profits were
paid to the city of Columbia. You
were a member of the board at that
time, and you will please Investigate
the matter thoroughly, and if you find
that during the year 1912 and up to
March 1, 1913, the city of Columbia
was paid more than one-third of the
profits you will direct your board to
withhold from the city all dispensary
profits until the amount which should
be returned by the city as having
been overpaid, has been made up.
please look into this matter i'm
mediately and advise me in regard to
it.
every respectfully,
"Cole. L. Blease,
Governor"

THE DARKEST HOUR IS
JUST BEFORE DAWN
Ed. J. O'Neal After Many Differences
is Married at Orangeburg in Ear
Iy Morning.

Orangeburg, June 2O.-After many
difficulties, Cupid won out for Ed. J.
O'Neal, when he married Miss Alma
Barr in this city at about 1.3O o'clock
this morning. This marriage was
novel one. To be arrested three times,
secure marriage license just before
midnight, asking performance OF mar
riage ceremony of judge of probate
and minister, only to be refused, TO
have refusing minister inform other
ministers of the city to refuse to per-
form the ceremony, and finally to
arouse a sleeping magistrate after l
o'clock and prevail upon him until he
tied the knot was the experience OF
Ed. J. O'Neal and his youthful and
handsome sweetheart, Miss Alma S.
Barr, Of Branchville.
O'Neal came to Branchville about
two days ago and registered at hotel,
using an assumed name He made eff
fort to marry Miss Barr, but was ar
rested by the town authorities and
charged with abduction. He gave
bond. Upon his appearance at court
this charge was dropped. He was re-
arrested and charged and tried for
vagrancy, being acquitted of this Of
fense. O'Neal at last secured the con-
sent of Miss Barr's parents to the
marriage and came to Orangeburg in
an automobile. Word had been re-
ceived in Orangeburg to arrest ONeal
if he came to town. Upon his ar
rival here last night O'Neal was
taken from his sweetheart and placed
in the guard house. After communi-
cation with Branchville was had,
O'Neal was turned loose.
The judge of probate was visited at
his residence by the delernlIleu
couple and marriage license was OBJ
tanned a little before midnight. The
judge of probate refused to marry the
couple, but advised them to return to
Branchville and be married there,
The Rev. George E. Davis, pastor. of
the Baptist church, refused to perform
the ceremony and gave similar advice
to that of the judge of probate. The
couple, learning that the other min
listers were advised not to perform the
ceremony, hurried to the home of c.
P. Brunson, magistrate and succeeded
in having the ceremony performed.

VOTE TO REFUSE
CARNECIE'S GIFT
METHODIST BISHOPS DRAW UP
VETO MESSAGE.
Claim Acceptance of Donation TO
Vanderbilt Would be Breach of
Faith and Invalid.

Nashville, Tenn, June 20.-At
called meeting of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, attended by nine
members of the college Of bishops,
veto message was drawn up, setting
forth the following objections to the
action of the board of trustees in &C
cepting the recent gift from Andrew
Carnegie to the Vanderbilt Medical
college.
"That the action of the board of
trustees of Vanderbilt, in accepting
the gift is a breach of trust vested in
it under and by virtue of the resolu-
tions of the Memphis convention,
which constitute the foundation of
Vanderbilt university; that said action
is beyond the powers of the board and
that it constitutes diversion of
large portion of the funds and prop
erty of the university from the trusts
upon which said property is held, is
contrary to the terms of other gifts
to the university, and is illegal, null
and void"
A COPY of this action will be duly
certified and forwarded to the secre-
tarv of the board of trust of the uni
versity.
Those attending the meeting were:
Bishops Collins Denny, E. R. Hen
dirk, D. R. Lambuth, E. D. Mouzon,
]. C. Kilgore, ]. H. Mccoy, E. E. Hoss,
H. C. Morrison and w. A. Gambler.
The resolutions vetoing the accept
ance of the $1,OOO,OOO gift by Carnegie
were adopted unanimously by the
bishops
In addition to veto message the
bishops addressed message to the
church stating their reason for op-
posing the gift. They said in part:
eff this gift had been offered with
out embarrassing condition, as all
other endowments have been, we
would have offered no objections to
it's acceptance, but the conditions at
tached to this gift and the letter ac-
companying it, which must be taken
as expository of the conditions, are
such as lead US to believe it can not
be accepted without breach of trust
and without dishonor to the church,
if conditions are fulfilled in good
faith to the donor
eve are as unwilling, that Mr. Car
negie should be deceived as that the
university should be dismembered and
the church CT God dishonored."

Columbia, June 23.-Gov. Blease on

gesting the giving Of note by him.
self and General league to make up
the deficiency in the appropriation by
the legislature for paying the travel
ing expenses of the survivors from
this State to the anniversary of the
battle of Gettysburg, soon to be held
on the battlefield. The appropriation
by the legislature was only $1,000,
which has provided for only sixty
four applicants, according to General
league, while the total number of ap-
applicants is 200 or more. The gov
ernor suggests the giving of joint
official note, feeling sure the legisla-
ture at its next session will be glad
to make an appropriation for this pur-
pose.

the statement by Gen. league, pub

given above.

June 81, 1913.
General B. H. league, Commander
South Carolina Division, United Con-
federate Veterans, Aiken, S. C.-Dear
Sir: I have noted with regret, though
it was to be expected, that the appro-
priation by the legislature for the
survivors from this State of the bat
tie of Gettysburg to defray their trav-
cling expenses to the anniversary,s soon
to be held, is greatly deficient, pro-
viding for considerably less than one
hat the number applying, South Car
olina ought to give all her survivors
of this great battle an opportunity to
attend this reunion, and it has SEEM
ed to me nothing more than just that
it should be doEe. l am satisfied the
money can be secured through one
of the banks, and that the legislature
at its next session will be only too
glad to make good the deficiency. Il
has seemed to me proper, however,
that the matter should be taken up
with you first, you being the direct
representative of this State in charge
of the distribution of the fund appro-
priated by the legislature and the
States, representative upon the bat
tie of Gettysburg commission, and I
suggest to you that we give a joint
official note for an amount necessary
to make up the deficiency in the ap-
preparation. I have no doubt the
money could be secured upon such
note, and all the survivors from this
State given an equal opportunity to
take advantage of this reunion.
AS time is pressing, I shall be glad
To hear from you Immediately.
Very respectfully,
Cole. L. Blease,

playing the Fool" was the sub
jact of George B. Cromer, Ii. D., OF
Newberry, in an address delivered to
the mass meeting of men at the Lyric
theatre yesterday afternoon, under
the auspices of the Y. NJ. C. A.
DR.. Cromer began by telling the
story of the jester at the kings court,
who was rewarded with a wand for a
wittier saying than he was wont to
make. He was to keep the wand un-
til he found a fool bigger than him
self.
When the king was dying, he sent
for the fool that he might tell him
farewell. The fool at once questioned
his master as to what preparation ne
had made for this long journey to the
country from which he would not re-
turn. The king made none, and the
fool placed the wand in the hands OF
the king, who was a much bigger fool
That man, the speaker said, is
fool who wilfully disobeys the com
mands of God, and thinks that he can
retain his manhood and spiritual pow
or Saul, the son of Kish, was used
as an illustration. Saul was sent out
with the command to destroy the
Amalekites and all their possessions,
but retained the best cattle and sheep.
That man is fool, the speaker con-
tinued, who believes he can get rid OF
a good message or an unpleasant
truth by destroying it, and thinks ne
can retain his manhood and physical
power. Jehoichim cut the laws Into
shreds with a penknife and then dash
ed them into the flames on the braz-
ier. but their spirit lived on, ne
said.
That man is fool, DR.. Cromer said,
who thinks he can daily with temp
tation and retain his manhood and
spiritual power. Samson dallied in
the lap of Delilah. Three times she
rebuked him for deceiving her, and
with each temptation he grew weak
er. With the fourth and last he Sc
cret of SIMPSONS strength was learn
ed, and this led to his undoing. The
lesson taught, the speaker said, is to
beware of the first fatal step.
That man is fool who is so wrap
ped up in intellectual creation that
he shuts out the spiritual life, said
DR.. Cromer. An apt illustration was
the story of Frank enstein, who long
Led to create man. He went to the
graveyards and charnel houses and
brought together all the disgusting
remains of dead men. Then at su-
preme moment Of power, this Pro-
methian snatched from heaven a
spark which gave breath to the life
less remains. But the man was un-
like any other, and complained OF
this. He was a man of colossal pow
er, without compassion. He strang-
led the wife and relative of Franken-
stein, and chased the creator over
land and sea in an effort to destroy
him.
That which the speaker wished the
hearers carry home with them, If
nothing else, was "that no act, wheth-
er fair or foul, is ever done, but
leaves a record somewhere of a bless
ing or a curse"

WILSON DODCINC issue
SAYS GOVERNOR BLEASE
REPLIES TO COVER
NOR AS TO LICENSES.
Quotes Opinion as to Law and Would
Distinguish Between License
And Tax.
special to The Herald and eNws.

Columbia, June 23.-President Will
son has written Governor Blease in
reply to the letter of the governor
asking that the issuance of Federal
revenue licenses to violators of the
State laws be stopped, and Governor
Blease, after reading the presidents
letter, says that president Wilson is
lodging the issue"
The president quotes an opinion of
the legal department and says "the
payment of the Federal stamp tax en-
titles the holder of the stamp only
to protection from prosecution for
non-payment of the internal revenue
tax"
In his letter to the president, to
which this letter is in reply, Cover
nor Blease stated that he was asking
that the issuance of revenue licenses
to violators of the State liquor laws
be stopped because he believed it
would be a material help in the en-
forcement of the State laws.
1t is of course admitted that the
holding of a Federal revenue license
does not exempt the party from pro-
secution under the State laws, but
what the governor was trying to do
was to make the Federal government
realize that when it issued these IL
eenses it was giving its sanction to
violation of the State laws, so far
as the Federal government was con-
cerned, exempting them from prose-
cution in the United States courts.
AS matter of fact, the difference
between a license and tax Is one
only in name, in this case. The Fed
eral government requires the pay
ment of a "tax' from illegal sellers
of liouor in this State, which really
gives them license" to violate the
State laws, insofar as the Federal
government is concerned.
Following is the letter of President
Wilson:
The White House
Washington
June IT, 1913.
NV Dear Governor Blease: I
promptly referred to the treasury de-
partment your recent communication
about the sale of liquor in South Car
olina under Federal license, and take
pleasure in sending you the enclosed
communications from the commits
sioner of internal revenue. AS I un-
derstand it, there can be no such
thing as federal license to sell IL
ouor contrary to State laws. The pay
ment of the federal stamp tax en-
titles the holder of the stamp only
to protection from prosecution for
non-payment of the internal revenue
tax.
Sincerely yours,
. Woodrow Wilson.
