There has never been any difference
between Gov. Blease and DR.. Mcintosh
as to the statement made by Drs.
Knowlton and Mcintosh. The state
ment read by Gov. Blease at the Able
Vile meeting is the statement filed
in his office and has the signature of
Drs. Knowlton and Mcintosh. We do
not suppose it ever for one moment
entered the mind of Gov. Blease that
the signatures would be questioned.
If the signature is not genuine both
DR.. Mcintosh and the governor have
been imposed upon in a most out
rageous manner.
We have known DR.. Mcintosh for
many years and we know him to be
an honorable and an upright citizen
and one who speaks the truth and in
this case there could be no motive for
speaking anything else. He is not in
politics and we Know him vel enough
to believe that he would not make a
false statement to help or hurt any
one. He is not that type OF man.
Might it not be possible that the state
ment which he says was written al
the penitentiary in pen and ink was
written and signed and then another
one was written, which was signed by
DR. Knowlton which Mr.. Earle says
is the genuine signiture of DR.. KnoYl-
ton?
In any event ther els no issue be-
tween Gov Blease and DR.. Mcintosh
n this matter whether the signature
is genuine or forgers'. In reading the
statement at Abbeville the only COM
ment made by Gov Blease at Abbe-
Willie was to speak in the most com
plimentary terms of Drs. Mcintosh
and Knowlton. o. course, it makes
difference to DR.. Mcintosh whether or
not mis- name has been forged, but that
raises a question with some one else.
AS to the intimation that DR.. Nc
Intosh shot himself, il it were not such
a serious matter it would be too ridicu-
Ious to mention or notice. Why S; aid
he shoot himself? The very thought
IS absurd. Afraid to meet Gov. Blease,
why? Nothing to be afraid of and be-
sides that he nor mis- father before
him is not built in that mould that
they would be afraid to meet any one.
It only illustrates to what depths some
will descend in politics when they
think it will help or hurt the cause
they represent.
The shooting of DR.. Mcintosh was
very unfortunate taing and We are
lad that the wound is not a serious
ne and hope that he Will soon be
cat again. II is sincerely to be hoped

Washington, July PA. P. Thorn,
general counsel for the Southern rail-
way, announced today that full ar
rangements have been made by that
road to construct a ccal pier at CAar-
lesion, S. c., and afford the mines on
its tracks an opportunity to trans
ship coal at Charleston and enter into
the export coal trade.
The Southern railway has acquired
1000 feet of waterfront in the Mag
noia cemetery site and will imme-
diately work en- the construction OF
the first unit of a coal pier. Daniel
s. Wentz and other coal operators in
the Virginia fields attending the in
vestigation the senate is conducting OF
coal rates to the Southeastern At
lantic ports say they expect to avail
themselves of this new outlet Tor

viii Hasten Work.
81 can not say just when the pier
will be ready for coal,' Mr.. Thom
said. However, the money for the
development has been arranged Tor
and the company will proceed with
the work as rapidly as possible. 1t
intends to afford every facility to the
coal producers along it's various lines .
AS to whether the new pier would
be open to coal hauled to Charleston
on railways other than the Southern
Mr.. Tnom said he was not fully advls-
ed. but he felt sure the Southern
would offer operators on other rail-
ways an outlet for their product.
The rate from Black Mountain and
adjoining Virginia fields to Charles
ton is s1.4O for export coal, the same
as charged to Norfolk and other
points north of Norfolk, but the lack OF
facilities for trans shipping coal at
Charleston have made the rate prac-
tically useless.
Mr.. Tnom said the late President
w. w. Finley was always much i'm
pressed by the claim of Charleston
that it should have an opportunity to
become a coal pert and he said that
President Fairfax Harrison was OF the
same opinion.
Charges "Wrecking."
Rufus A. Ayres, representing the
Stonega Gal and Coke company, was
amoug the lawyers WAC cross-eXam-
ined Dulaney today. In response to
questions Ly Mr.. Ayres, Dulaney eA-
piained his former connection with
The Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke COM
uany. He said he organized the COM
pauy aid was active in its manage
merit until he realized that the di-
rectors were determined to wreck it.
Grant E. Schley, Henry K. McHarg
and +. J. Berwind were named by Mr..
Dulaney as the three men respon-
sible for ''wrecking the company"
To freeze out small stockholders
$SO,O9G,O0O of tee company's funds
were temporarily withheld, the wit
ness said, and the company was
thrown into the hands of receivers.

affairs committee With his testimony
the hearings probably will close until
September as counsel for tne South

Why SUCH A HURRY?

DR.. Bell, the inventor of the telephone, has been trying to make
rs believe that we can cross the little Atlantic ocean in a single day
Yea, in less than a day, even in twenty hours.
We might remind DR.. Bell that we have crossed the Rocky
Mountains, and it seemed to us that we actually flew a part Of the
way, especially in making the descent. And it required days to
make the trip. Would he have us double the distance in as many
Tours?
But to return to the ocean voyage. Let DIR. Bell tell it in his
own language:
"The distance from Newfoundland to Ireland is less than 1000
miles. This means that if you go at 100 miles an hour you will cross
The Atlantic in 20 hours-less tnan a day. We have flying machines
that go at a greater speed than that. We already have machines
that could cross the ocean if their engines can keep going for 20
hours. OF course, these are exceptional machines; but even the
ordinary machines of today make 50 miles AN hour with Ease.
"Now, a flying machine flies faster as you go higher up, because
the rarcr air offers less resistance to the motion, while the propeller
gives the same push with the same power, whatever tn clvaion
IS you get into the rare air the propeller spins around faster. A so
lcile-an-hour machine flying two miles high in the air-and we have
machines that have gone twice as high as that-will fly faster than
air there is a constant wind in The general direction of Europe having
q velocity anywhere from rs to so miles an hour.
Gas a net result of all these things, there can be little doubt
that any ordinary machine that IS able to support itself IN the AIR
at an elevation Of two miles high will attain a speed Of at least 100
miles an hour in the direction OF Europe, and that means going from
America to Europe in a single day. Calculation shows that, taking
all these circumstances into consideration, our best machines should
be able to cross the Atlantic in l3 hours. hardly dare say it aloud
*or publication. 1t is sufficiently startling to know that is is not
only possible but probable that the passage may be made in a single
day. But if, as imagine, it can be done in - hours, you may take
an early breakfast in Newfoundland and a late dinner in ireland the
same night"
We are constrained to join our friend, Mr.. Day, of the Sioux
Falls ArgusLeader, in asking Why such a hurry?'
In the olden time our grandfathers. would consume several weeks
in crossng-and they lived as long and prospered as well as we of
today.
True, they used the OK team instead of the automobile to visit
their trading points. They would be days in making a trip where
we make it in hours.
But, after all, didn't they get about as much out of life? May
be they didn't travel quite so many miles, and their gait was a trihe
slower, for a fact, but they got there just the same.
But why moralze on the things of the past? Let 'em be by
cones. Hustle like blazes if you want to catch the next airship for
Europe and wish to dine in London tonight!

PREACHING AND PRACTICING.

Attention has been called to a plank i'll the democratic platform
Upon which Mr.. Wilson was elevated to the presidency. That plank
was as follows:
s*We denomce the profigate waste of the money wrrmg from
the people byEoppressive taxation through the lavish appropriations
OF recent republican congresses, which have kept taxes high and re
duced the purchasing power of the peoples toll. We demand a re
turn to the simplicity and economy which dcitS a democratic govern
mentn
But our democratic friends have found that preaching is alto
eether different from practicing.
For a series Of years the democrats had been on the outskirts of
governmental afars-mere spcctators-md they felt that they could
afford TO be critical.
But they obviously overlooked the fact that with the response
hiIties of government came also the responsibility for turning down
The demands of constituencies pressing for buildings and for other
improvements, not to mntion the thousands Of things for which pro-
state.
Tt appears that our democratic friends, despite their caustic
criticism of the regime Of their predecessors, have been as profigate
as were the republicans before them.
This is getting TO be a great country, and It's expenditures for
public purposes seem to be keeping pace with the high cost of living,
or the cost of high living, as one chooses to express it.
Now, III turn, the republicans will hurl back at the democratic
leaders their own demands for economy, and il, perchancc, the repub-
Leans should regain control, it would be the same thing over again.
All of which leads to the suggestion that fractional politics is
faeionaism the world over.

BETTER FARMING RESULTS
= philadelphia Public Ledger

james J. Hill has preached the
gospel of intensive farming until he
has converted the national depart
ment Of agriculture and the agricul-
tural departments of the states, if
they needed converting. No one dis
putes Mr.. Hills dictum that a farm
of thirty acres we'll titled is more
profitable than a farm of 800 acres
half worked. He has reminded the
Minnesota farmers that they raise
only thirteen bushels of wheat to the
acre, while the farmers of Denmark
raise thirty-three bushels; those of
England thirty-two, and those Of Hol-
land thirty-four. He might have add.
States is only a little less than six
teen bushels per acre. If the Ameri-
can farmers cultivated their land as
thoroughly as the land is titled in
England, where farming is supposed
to be al ost art, the wheatc rop this
year would be 2.0OO,00O,000 bushels
instead Of 1,0oo.0oO,o 900 and the price
of a loaf of bread would go down in
every home in the world.
The American acres are not yield
ing half a much as they should.
Less than thirty bushels OF corn are
harvested from each acre under culti-
walton but the corr clubs in the
south and the west have demonstrate
