read your open letter to Rev. s. A.
Ncttlcs, copies OF which you have
furnished to the daily papers OF the
State, asking by what authority he
has resumed the cditorship Of the
Southern Christian Advocate. As
you have sought information in this
way, as one Of Mr.. NcttleS'S legal ad-
Nis"rS In the matter, | gladly give
You the information if You are really
ignorant in the matter.
The contract which he has with
me South Carolina Conference not
only gives him full and complete au-
thority to edit the Advocate, put
makes it his legal hounden duty to
do 81. This was the opinion given
to him by Judge Purdy and myself
as his legal advisers; of its correct
ness there is no question or doubt.
Some years aEO, as YOU doubtless
know, the conference placed the af,
fairs Of the Advocate in the hands of
q large publishing committee. with
fun power to elect the editor and
contract for its publication. In 1912
an effort was made to overthrow this
committee. 1t failed. and the con-
ference overwhelmingly endorsed the
committee and Mr.. Ncttlcs'S manage
m"nt Of the paper. In the following
spring the publishing committee re-
elected Mr.. Nettlcs editor and pub
iiShcr of the Advocate. and entered
INTO Il written contract with him to
thai effect, secured on his part by
his bond for $4,000. The commit
tee acted Dol the authority Of the
conference and hence in law and fact
the act Of the committee was the act
Of the conference. Unable to secure
the control Of the Advocate in this
upright and open manner it seems
mai some parties entered into an un-
holy conspiracy to secure its control
by running the reputation Of its edi-
tor. For d~cCency'S sake will say
rothinE here and o OF the methods
empl 'yCd and the men behind them.

PickenS County Boy
In Vera Cruz, Mex.

Claude Wyatt, of Easley, who
is a gunner on the Z. S. battle
ship Utah, now stationed at
Vera Cruz, Mexico, writes an
interesting letter to his parents,
DR.. and Mrs. G. n. WYATT,
about the fighting around Vera
Cruz. Below we publish a por-
ton of one of his recent letter:
Vera Cruz. Mex, April %, 1914.
ALI the fighting seems to be
over except a few shots fired at
night from house tops. So far,
we have about 20 killed and so
odd wounded. The Mexicans
have fought a great deal better
than we expected. They have
no respect, whatever, for the
Red Cross. One of the doctors
of our ship was killed by my
side. A Mexican with blood on
his foot came up and asked the
doctor for treatment. AS the
doctor bent over to examine
him he produced a pistol, which
he had concealed on his person
and shot the doctor through the
head. I was wounded in my
left hand. The wound is doing
nicely.
Five thousand troops arrived
today with Gen. Funston in
command. He is the man who
made a name for himself in the
Philippines. The soldiers will
relieve us of duty ashore and
we will go back to our ship to-
morrow. Do not know where
we will go-son1e think to
Tampico. l don't see why they
don't let US 90 on with the good
work and clean up Mexico We
are the ones that can do it and
she surely does need it.
When the battleship Chester
started firing on the city, the
Mexicans ran out of the build
ings. That was when we got
so many of them. I saw as
many as seventy-five dead Mex
leans in one block. Almost
every one had at least ten shots
in his body, any one of which
would have been fatal. Most
of these were hit by the auto
matte machine guns, which
shoot five shots to the second.
They have a wooden box that
fits on the side and holds from
It's to 500 shots, So you see
what they can do for a man.
Jack London. the great novel
ist, came to Vera Cruz today.
/ saw him about an hour ago.
His wife came with him and
she carried a revolver just as
any man would do and accord
ing to all accounts, she can
take good care of herself.
The admiral seized all arms
of every description in Vera
Cruz and we surely did get a
collection. I have a pistol that
must have been used in George
Washington's time.
In Tampico they piled the
bodies of the dead horses and
men together, poured oil over
them and burned them.

FOR STOMACH TROUBLE
John w. Skillen Of Sidney, Ohio
Has Found Remedy

John w. skillen Of Sidney, Ohio
Has Found a Remedy.
Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common il
this country is due to hasty and care
less habits OF eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions
usually go together.
John ". Skillen of Sidney, Ohio
says: 'T had a bad stomach trouble
for years, and became so weak thai
Z could hardly walk or do any work
Ny appetite was poor, and it seemed
impossible to, get any relief. Since
taking eVinol' I find a remarkable i'm.
provement in my health, my digestion
Is much stronger, and I have gained
in weight. I would not be without
yinol."
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try bottle Of Vinol with the I'M
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

Health A Factor In Success

The largest factor contributed
to a mans success is undoubt-
edly health. It has been OBJ
served that a man is seldom
sick when his bowels are regu-
lar-he is never well when they
are constipated. For constipa-
ticn you will find nothing quite
so good as ChamberIain's Tab
lets. They not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.
They are sold by all dealers

Gov. Blease Not Worried

The State Democratic conven-
ton will probably be composed
of At Blease men and POI anti
Blease men, according to the
delegates elected by the county
conventions last week. The
Greenville Piedmont sizes the
Pickens delegation up as having
two Blease men and four anti
BIeasemen on it. Will the Pied
mont please tell us who the two
administration men are. and who
the other four are?
A Columbia special says:
Governor Blease declined to
make any special comment on
the results of the county conven-
tions, but expressed himself as
satisfied with the reports he was
receiving from over the state. I
will beat Smith $4,000 to $4,000
votes" said the Governor, tell
ing OF the many letters ana mes
sages of encouragement he was
getting in eve--y mai. The Gov
ernor said the Bleasites were not
much on handling clubs and
conventions, but when it comes
to the ballot box they had the
votes andknew how to use them.
Governor Blease is satisfied his
friends will have a better show
ing in the coming convention
than they did in 1912, and when
asked about the overwhelming
majority against him that would
be in that gathering said he was
not worried.

her covertly.

Dear me, is it as bad as that?' she
