In the summer of 1899 Mr.. Stodder
found lots of fun in pulling the out

ory turned to the thrills as well as the
comforts to be found in an open canoe.
He had learned to handle the Indian
birch barks and their canvas-covered
successors on the big lakes and swift
streams of New England, and seeing
how well they were adapted to use on
the Potomac he procured one from
Maine.

Fortunately he knew well how to han

use Some of his friends found with
him that the boat gave pleasure with

season was over eight canoes had made
their appearance on the Potomac. The
next year d census showed forty-two
of them in commission and in constant
use and demand. The next season there
were too many to count. and with rests

Cole Blease Is Silent;
Has His Ear to Ground
Special TO The Telegraph

Atlanta. July 9.-The recent ex-
change of official communications be-
tween the Governor of South Carolina
and the Governor of Pennsylvania
anent extradition. and the publicity
accompanying it. naturally calls to the
public mind a former Governor of
South Carolina, who was responsible
FOR more publicity for South Carolina,
perhaps, than anybody or thing else
that has ever been associated with the
Palmetto State. The query also comes
What has become of Cole Blease
anyway
The departure of Blease from the
governors chair has been accom-
panied by silence which can be COM
pared only to the degree of publicity
Wnlch characterized his stay in office
AFTER ne retired from the governors
chair by his spectacular resignation a
day before his term expired, Mr..
Blease entered the practice of law in
columbia. He has outgrown New
berry. his home town, say his friends.
He took his defeat at the hands of
thc people, II seems, in a most philo-
law ONCE saving wood and saying
nothing"
Word comes from the Palmetto
state however, that the present dor
mant state of the gubernatoriaI vol
cano can hardly be taken as a sign OF
extinction. While Blease's silence
cannot yet be said to have advanced
to the stage of being ominous, II might
be said of it that It is significant. Gov
ernor Blease Is too wise a politician
not to know that he cannot be elected
to any office just now He is also
wise enough to know that silence is
extremely conducive to a public lapse
OF memory on the things that defeated
him in his last campaign. Ergo The
quieter he keeps now. the better NAV
be his chances of election when the
signs of the zodiac are propitious.
