HARRIS REPL|ES To
JOE BROWN s CARD

BONNEVILLE, Ca, Sept Gov
ernor Harris today replied to Joe
Browns card on the Stripping case
by asking him to refresh his memory
or the record.
But there are some things in the
record brought before me-" he said,
(which Governor Brown probably did
not see. The letter in which Cornett
wrote to Striplings wife a vile pro-
posal was in the hands of Stripling's
lawyer, who got drunk and failed to
produce it. The jury could hardly
have convicted him after reading that
Cornett boasted in a crowd of ruin
ing member of Stripling's family"
General Clement A. Evans, on the
prison board, recommended to Brown
that pardon be granted, and even
members of Cornett's family urged
a pardon for STRIPPING. / invite any
man to study that record as have
done and refuse a pardon to this man
who defended his home"
A crowd at Jesup last night met the
train and insisted that the governor
come out and address them for a few
minutes. The train was held while
he talked.

STREET CAR MEN
STRIKE AGAIN IN
NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, Sept. "A strike was
declared today on the subway, elevated
lines and several surface systems OF
the Inter-Borough Rapid Transit Co.,
in the Bronx and Manhattan burough.
Up to noon, however, service through
out the city had been only slightly af-
fected.
Union leaders who demand abroga-
ton of the so-called master and ser
want" contracts, which are binding on
employees, say they are not seeking
wage increases, this having been set
tied for the next two years, say that
nine thousand men struck. The New
York Railways Company's Green Car
system has been chiefly affected by the
strike, and, apparently, not more than
thirty per cent. of these surface cars
are now running.
The New York Railways Co. an
nounced that the recent agreement of
the company with its employees was
abrogated, effective today.
The Interborough Company met the
situation by amounting that all men on
its pay-rolls who do not strike will be
paid double pay until further notice.
A few minor disturbances on the east
side are the only unusual occurrences
reported.

.CANARD NAILED
ABOUT HARRIS IN
Ga 1905 a84 6s4I
SUMTER COUNTY

Campaign canards have put in their
appearance in Americas and Sumter
county. especially in the governors
race. One of the charges affects the
county and Governor Harris.
The Times-Recorder already had full
knowledge of the facts concerning the
recent bill in the general assembly in
regard to the county treasurer and it
being vetoed by Governor Harris, but
a representative of the paper has again
gone through the whole story and
brought out re-affirming nj the facts,
A bill was introduced in the lower
house of the general assembly regard
ing the county treasurer's Office, and an
amendment was placed whereby it be-
came effective on January LIST, 1921.
This bill passed the house and senate
as was told in the Times Recorder at
different stages of the bills progress.
1t was sent to Governor Harris in
tie usual manner for the concurrence
Of the executive department. A re-
quest was made that the bill be vetoed
tc which the governor asked full facts
in the facts in the case. Governor
Farris stated that he did not care to
touch local legislation where the mat
ters were in the hands of the repres
sentatives.
Governor Harris only consented to
veto the bill after Representatives ]. f.
Sheppard and Crawford Wheatley stat
ed that it would be agreeable so far
as they were concerned.
Governor Harris did not sign the
bill, and afterwards veto it, after he
was approached by interested parties
from Sumter county. So, there goes
another Misrepresentation which has
been heard to enter the present race
for governor so far as it affects Sum-
ter county.

$4,000 GUARDS To
DE MUSTERED
-
OUT OF SERVICE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. T.
Fifteen thousand National Guardsmen
returned from the border to their home
stations by recent order of the war
department, were today ordered mus
teed out of the federal service. and
taeir names enrolled in the reserve
army lists. Other guardsmen now ON
the border will remain there for the
present though there are indications
that all Of the guards will be muster
ed out of federal service at an early
date.
The troops affected by the order are
three regiments from New York, tive
regiments from New Jersey, one Ma
ryla1d giment, two Illinois regi-
ments, two Missouri regiments, one
California regiment, one oregon regi-
nent, one Washington regiment and
one Louisiana regiment. The Four
teenth New York regiment will not be
mustered out of the federal service at
this time because of prevalence of
typhoid fever in it's ranks.
1t was reported earlier in the day
that all of the National Guardsmen
now in federal service either at the
border or on home stations, were to be
demobilized and mustered into the re-
serve corps, but later it was definitely
announced that only fifteen thousand
troops are to be returned to civil pur-
suits Immediately. The reduction Of
the United States military establish
rent by demohilizing the guard is look
ed upon here as preliminary to the
withdrawal Of Gen. Pershing's troops
from Mexico, these taking the place Of
guardsmen on the north bank of the
Rio Grande. Pershing's withdrawal is
regarded likely as one of the first con-
sequences of the assembling q me
Mexican-American commission at New
London, Conn.

FAIR IS Put orr
FOR A YEAR WITH.
MORE TINE GIVEN

"a
At meeting of the stockholders OF
the Third Agricultural District fail
held last night at the Chamber Of
Commerce, it was decided to postpone
the fair for one year-until 1917. The
tentative dates had already been an.
nounced as October 23rd to 2Sth, of this
year.
The decision was unanimous follow
ing careful study of the plans al
ready consummated, and fully pre-.
sented by Secretary P. A. Fenimore
Less than two months would intervene
between now and the date of the
fair which was not sufficient to carry
all the plans into effect to make the
fair brilliant success.
The fair is capitalized at $4,000 and
the full sum is ready to be used in be-
ginning the work. The delay of one
year will not stop the work now, but
only give much more time to carefully
stage the grand event.
Some features of the fair planned
for this fall will be held, although the
dates have not been definitely an.
nounced. President Carr S. Glover
and Secretary p A. Fenimore, of the
Chamber of Commerce, are working or
these features, which will be benefi.
cial to this section
The fair is in excellent condition, and
only time prevents the staging of the
fair The stockholders came to de-
c!sion to delay rather than take The
changes of not being able to put o.

IN BOYS APPENDIX

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Sept 7.-"Pin-
eecitis" might be the name applied to
the trouble from which the young son

and the doctors after investigation,
pronounced the disease appendicitis.
