UNEARNED INCREMENT
Extraordinary Letter Written by a

spondence referred to is between the
dean of he theological school wrote

dean of the theological scchool wrote
10 the millionaire asking for money
for his schcol. The reply was most
unusual. An extract from it follows:

ern3r replied, that he would not ac-,
cept he invitation. but that if he
should, when ne got there he would
find Mr.. Coleman shoyeIling coal.
There was some littla excitement dur
ing the passage Of words.
The governors address was largely
devoted to Newberry county affairs,
and he chief executive paid his re-
spacts with gloves off, to several Of
MS opponents in this coun y, among
them the mayor Of Whitmire, DR.. Van
Smith.
He devoted a considerable portion
Of MS address to al explanation Of the
new primary laws, and said he effort
of the Sta,e conv ntion had been to
take away the right oi suffrage from
the laboring man, treating the labor
ing man worse than tne negro was
trea ed. He urged his supporters to
enroll. and 10 watch the club rolls and
the counting Of the ballots. He said
that he had been cheated out Of six
teen to eighteen thousand votes two
years ago, and had won cut, anyway.
He said that negroes, Republicans
and Populists had been carried to the
club meetings in Newberry county to
control. the party machinery againsi
MIN, and then it had been heralded
taat Newberry had gone against him.
The S ate convention, he said, had
been packed in the same way. He did
not want the suppor5 of such an anal
gamation. he said, and stated that he
had received every Office he had ever
asked for in Newberry rounty, and
could be elected to any office within
the gif. of the people of Newberry now
nat he might ask them for. He told
his audience that he was going to win
his senatorial race this summer by
bigger majority than ever before. He
said that he had reached the height
of his ambition when he was elected
governor, and that he was now not in
the senatorial race for Blease, and
was not talking for BleaSe, but was
upholding the rights Of the people who
had supported him.
The governor denounced as false a
report which he said had been circu-
lated about remark in regard to the
death of Mr.. n. Butler Johnson. He
paid a tribute to Mr.. Johnson as M
friead, and as man whom ne had
,aelped in every way he could, to whose
family he had offered whatever assist
ance he might be able to render, and
whose dea.h, he said, no one regretted
more than he did.
Governor Blease spoke for an hour,
and mis- criticism of and attacks up
on his opponeats in this county, whom
in every instance ne mentioned by
name, were extremely severe. He
closed by saying that he expec ed to

The governor referred to his ap-
poin ment Of Mr. John Henry C2appell
as supervisor cf Newberry county
Several CT his good friends were ap-
plicants for the position, he said, and
na was in the position Of having, in
the performance OF his duy, to choose
between friends, because he could
only appoint one. Two years ago, he
said, when Ward 3 club fixed up a
slate against me and beat me fer a
delegate % the county convention, a
man went to the Ward club-your
club, my club-the club jhat organ
lied in 1890 in the sitting room Of tae

that night two years ago, and told
them of this scheme they mad fixed up

them to cleo me a delegate to the
county convention. They elected me;
| went to the conven .i1n and presid-
ed over it, and l went to the State con-
vention. That man came to my office
in Columbia and said, want TO be

saved me against this scheme that
night two years ago, and had put me
in the county convention when the

fixed up this scheme against me. WnEl

thing for an honorable man to do, and
that was to appoint MIN supervisor.

gies to make to any man for it.
Whether you want 20 elect him or not,
that is your business. | am not here

but l appointed him because of his
true, manly stand for me, for mis- work
in my behalf, and whenever the day
comes that | fail 20 stand by my
friends, l hope that day will be my
last upon this earth.
The governor referred to the crit
icisms of his pardon record. He said
that he had paroled and pardoned a
good many, and that he was not
through yet. He said tnat he and no.
body else had been governor for the
last three and half years-thaJ he had
no apologies or excuses to make for
anything he had done, and that the
trouble with his enemies was that they
could not help themselves.
Compliments Band and Rest Room.
In closing his speech, the governor
called attention to the refreshments
which were being served for the ben
eft c. the Newberry concert band, and
paid pret y tribute to the band,
which be said was a wcrthy organiza-
ton which ad won recognition not
only all over this Safe, but in otner
States, for its fine worth.
He also congra ulated Newberry up
on Ter. ladies rest room, saying that
he had heard a great many compli-
ments all over the State paid 10 the

They soothe and comfort the stom-

Apparently he was executed by
General Villa. The latter says

The lingo" press bureau has given
many versions of this affair, but
these yarns cannot possibly be
true, for the simple reason that no
one saw Benton after he entered

European countries are attempting
to dictate this nations course in

have free hand 80 far as Europe

and of course be is clamoring for
intervention in Mexico. The"jingo"
has started good many wars, but
history does not record that he has
participated in any of the actual
fighting.
In that particular he reminds
one of the old story of Artemus
Ward. When Mr. Lincoln called
for volunteers Artemus announced
that he would not enlist, but de-
clared he was prepared "to sacri-
tice all his wife's relatives" Car
rama and Villa are responsible for
the rehabilitation of the lingo"
He was thoroughly discredited un-
til the leaders of the Constitution
alists committed great tactical
blunder and thus gave him an op-
portunity to again secure the pub
lie ear. This blunder might have
proven fatal and an American
army might now be across the Rio
Grande if we did not have Wood
row Wilson in the White House.
But, as | have stated dozen times
in these letters, the President is
guaranteed to be mon -stampedea-
ble."
CARRANZA's MIsPLAY.
When Carranza refused to per-
nit Secretary Bryan to conduct an
inquiry into the death of Benton,
the English ranchman executed by
General Villa, he did just what the
'jingoes" wanted him to do, and
they began working their press bu-
reau overtime in an effort to in
flame the public mind in this coun-
try and in England to point
where armed Intervention could
not be avoided.
| feel sure Carranza had no de-
sire to offend the United States.
His purpose was to take slap at
England, Huerta's most powerful
ally.
Benton is an English subject.
If England wants to know why we
ordered his execution, let England
PROFOUND the question to the lead
ers of the Constitutionalists." That
was in substance Carranza's re-
sponse to Bryan's request.
He knew that England could
not comply with his suggestion
without recognizing the belliger-
ency of the Constitutionalists and
such action would sweep the last
prop from under the Huerta re-
gime,
Carranza was playing a shrewd
game, but he bad not counted on
the efficiency of the lingo" press
bureau and did not appreciate how
his rebuff of England could be
twisted so that the American peo-
pie would consider it a deliberate
insult to the United States.
A CLEVER CAMPAIGN.
All the hullaballo that followed

for its purpose the deafening of the

not bothered our heads about their
opinions touching those things,
and why should we give any more
thought to their views on our for
eign policyY
President Wilson is handling the
Mexican situation in the AMERI-
CAN way-not the English way or
the German way or the Russian
way.
Placed in our position, England
or Germany or Russia would drag
half a million of it's young men
from the farm and the factory and
hurl them into Mexico to kill and
be killed. Then the governmt mt
would increase the tax paid by the
citizens who remained at home in
order to raise funds to support the
half million who were defending
the flag" in Mexico. After several
years of this sort of thing Mexico
would be conquered and made
colony or dependency of England,
Germany or Russia, as the case
might he. Then the big bankers
and captains of industry who lived
in the victorious nation would ap-
pear on the scene and proceed to
develop" Mexico They would
gobble up all the rich mines and
oil lands and fertile plantations
and exploit them for their own
glory and profit. The poor devils
who had done the fghting-that
is, those of them who were still
alive and out of the hospital
would be sent home to resume
work in the factories and on the
farms. They would have no part
in the glory or the profit of ex-
ploitation. They would be told
that they were not fitted for such
high achievement either by expe-
rience or by education.
That's imperialism. That's the
European way of doing things.
That's why 100000 Europeans
fed from Europe last year and
sought an asylum in this country.
THE AMERICAN METHOD.
The American way is quite differ
ent-at least the American way Ms
understood by this administration.
We are sorry to see the Mexican
people embroiled in civil war, but
we know that the path to liberty
sometimes leads through rivers of
blood. That was our own expert
ence. 1t required four years of
armed conflict and many years of
painful readjustment to settle the
differences between our north and
our south. We told the world to
keep it's hands out of our family
quarrel. England wanted to "butt
in" and might have done 80 if it
had not been for Russia. She mar
rowly escaped severe chastise-
ment for her officiousness and we
compelled her to pay good, hard
gold in settlement of the Alabama
claims.
When we recall these historical
facts we obtain saner view of the
4, Mexican problem and we are made
to realize that it is problem
which must be solved by the Mex
ican people for themselves.

AT BETHEL SUNDAY SERVICE.

Prof. Alonzo J. Bowling preached
from st. Mark $3.50. "For what shall
it profit a man, If he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own sOulf''
he drew vivid lessons from the civil
zation Of the world, showing that it
is greed for gain versus spiritual de-
velopment, materialim versus ideal
ism, worldly success versus the religion
Of Jesus Christ, that is the bsse Of the
present disturbance in the world.
The sermon was logical, foreeful and
replete with biblical illustrations, the
hand Of God was shown to be above
every event in human history; faith,
simple and absolute, was offered as
means Of salvation.
In the absence Of the beloved pastor,
this eloquent young preacher, who was
left in charge, conducted the services
admirably and well. We shall be pleased
to have him with NJ again.
