would be incurred which the city at
the present time was unable to meet.
Alderman J.. F. Turner suggested that

Hearing May Be Costly.
Mr.. Packard Of the state tax COM
mission. had sen a letter to Alder
man ]. Nj. Gillette in connection with
the gas and electricity rate hearing to
be held July 10 before the state rail-
road commissioners in this city. Mr..
Packard explained in his letter that
1t would be desirable to have the SER
vices of an expert accountant to go
over the books of the Red River
Power Co.. and also Of an expert en-
gineer to make a valuation OF the
would amount to $50 a day plus ex-
penses.
1t was also set forth in the letter
that the city would be expected to
pay the fees OF witnesses in connec-
ton with the hearing.
City Attorney Geo. A. Bangs said
that he a always assumed the state
took are Of the financial end Of such
Investigations and admitted he was
much surprised at this new turn of
events. MI. Bangs estimated roughly
that the expenses Of the hearing
might cost the city all the way from
$500 to $500 If the program outttn-
ed in the letter were adhered to.
The matter was not brought formal
ly before the council. but was simply
presented as information to the al
kdermen in order to prepare them to
take some definite steps at the regular
Jun meeting.

tribution OF government seed corn
and the matter of farm labor.
In view of. the fact that the, farm
labor problem will In all probability
be a serious one, ample time is being
taken to avoid any scalamities in the
fall as a result of not having sufficient
help to handle the harvest in due
time. Through the Commercial club
and other local organizations ,the
Forks city and the towns and villages
throughout the county who will be in
a position to assist in this capacity,
will be ascertained.
A discussion of the annual farm
bureau picnic, which has been held
during the three years 10 its exist
encef in the Fadden Grove at Arvilla,
was taken, up by the body. No def
mite arrangements were made for; the
event. A~comnittee was appointed to

plans for arranging and developing
an exchange list which will be useful
in promoting ready sale and exchange

CITY CITY COUNCIL
BUYS BUYS TRACTOR
]. FOR GRADING
Auto Parking on Fourth
Street to be Discussed in
Committee.

AT "a special meeting OF he city
council last night the COMMITTEES on
streets and alleys presented a report
recommending the purchase Of a
Lawson 81 Jewel 1926 horse power
tractor for grading purposes. The
price OF the engine, complete with
extra rims and Tugs. will be $500.
which is slightly above the appropria-
ton.
In explanation of the report Alder
man w. H. Kelsey. chairman Of the
this tractor was the result of very
careful tests and Investigations made.
and Alderman J.. L. Hulteng supple
mented this statement by saying that
he personally had examined all the
four tractors considered. and that
the taskeof the committee finally sim
mered. Is down to a decision as to
the appropriation.
At the suggestion OF Alderman W.
s.. Whitman, representatives of vari-
Gus traction manufacturing concerns,
present in the council chamber, were
given the courtesy Of h floor, and a
lively discussion as to the merits and
dement's of the engines considered
ensued.
Expert. Differ.
There was apparent some disagree
ment among the tractor representa-
tives as to the advantages of n over
other engines, and a number Of de-
tails were gone into by the experts
who explained all they knew about

chanical construction, motors, rank

sey said that the committee consid-
cred all tractors tested very good, but
that one selected answered the re-
quirements in a particular sense,
partly because of the price n partly
because of its capacity for doing
work. y.
The report was unanimously adopt
ed by the council.
Auto Parking on 4th Street.
Fire Chief Fitzgerald requested the
council to take steps toward the reg
ulation of automobile parking in the
city streets, particularly Fourth street,
where q large number Of cars are
parked in the center of the thorough
fare. An element of danger to cars
as we'll as to the fire engines was
thought present here. and some Of
the aldermen expressed themselves in
favor Of abandoning the practice at
least on Fourth street.
The matter was referred to the fire
committee with power to act.
From the Grand Forks Association
Of Credit Men was sent a communi.
cation asking that street signs be
placed all over the city because Of the
large number of strangers who come
here from time to time unable to find
their way.
Many Signs Needed.
1t was explained that the matter
had been before the council on vari-
u occasions Inc that it vas referred
to the streets and alleys committee

AULL, BLEASE AND COOPER
DENY McLAURIN'S CHARGES

warehouse commissionership, surely
the man must be out of his mind or
have taken something which caused
him to have hallucinations. Some of
| my friends talked to me in reference
to running for warehouse commits
sioner after the position was estab-
lished, and I said that under no con-
ditions or circumstances could I ac-
J cept it. And Claud n. Sapp, then a
member of the legislature from Lam
easter county, almost spontaneously,
you might say, just at the last mo-
ment, arose in his seat and nominated
Mr. McLaurin for this position. l
really do not think Mr McLaurin was
looking for the position. 1t came to
him without any solicitation on hi
part, so far as I am informed, and
hink he was about as much surprised
when MIR. Sapp nominated him as
anybody else was, and / addressed a
communication to the legislature, in
which I said:
Il congratulate you upon the pas
age of the acreage bill and the ware
house bill, and upon your electing as
manager of the warehouse system,
he logical man for the place-he
who understands it best and who, if
it can be made success, surely is
the one to have the credit.
Therefore, the public can readily
see that there was absolutely no deal
with McLaurin to make Aull his Sec
|retary; but on the contrary, after his
election, he came into my office with
MIR. Aull and said he didn't see how
he could run the business unless ]
would let him have Aull to help him.
I remember the conversation distinct
ly. And said to Mr.. Aull, "John, I
don't like to give you up; my busl-
ness Is in such shape now, winding
up the affairs of the office; but I
don't want to deprive you of a good
position, because I will have nothing
to offer you after / leave the COVER
nor's office, and while do so with
much reluctance, am willing for you
to accept the position. And I turn
ed Immediately to w. F. Blackburn,
who was in the room, and said,
Frank, I will appoint you private
secretary, and I guess we can get
along. Mr.. Blackburn replied that
we could, because "John would be
handy if we needed him on any spec
ial matters.

your space; in fact, I thought just
as good idea as any was not to pay
any attention to this mans rawlings

Columbia, June 80.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1918-07-05

% the Editor of The State:
The address to the people OF South
Carolina by Former Senator John L.
McLaurin, which you publish in your
Issue this morning, seems to be in
Ispired by a letter written by me last
January, which evidently Mr.. NC
Laurin has not yet even seen, and l
ask that you permit me to make reply
to the portions of his effusicn which
make charges against me, and that
YOU do me the fairness to give it as
prominent space in your paper as you
have given Mr.. McLaurin's address.
In the first place, I desire to say
that Mr.. McLaurin gives some facts
which are absolutely news to me, and
which had never even dreamed OF.
He says that he frequently called
John Aull to take dictation for let
ters on this subject addressed to
Capers'', referring to securing money
for a bolt from the Democratic party,
in order to lead Blease into a trap.
Mr.. McLaurin states that l wrote the
letters and retained carbon copies,
but that as soon as was out OF sight
he destroyed the originals.
This is the first time have ever
even heard of his writing any such
letters to Mr.. Capers. He seems to
think that I have copy Of some such
letter that he wrote to John G. Capers
in WASHINGTON. I knew absolutely
nothing of any such letter or letters,
and have never said or written that
7 did. and have no letter purportlng
to be copy of any such letter. Wnat
made Mr.. McLaurin think I was
charging him with this is more than
II can understand. He may have CIV
en- me dictation for letters to Capers,
hut I have no recollection Of any let
ter to Capers of any special slgniIl-
canoe, and during my course with the
state warehouse system, as secretary
to Senator McLaurin, I never tried TO
secure copies of any of his letters and
never mentioned to a living soul any
letter that he had ever written to
| anybody.
I am sorry that Mr.. McLaurin felt
that he was using me while l was MS
secretary as a tool to lead Blease into
trap. If that was his game he failed,
because none of Mr.. McLaurin's let
ters were ever mentioned by me to
Mr.. Blease or anybody else; and the
Capers correspondence need give MN
no further concern, so far as / am
affected, because can assure MIN
that I have no copy of any of it, nor
any recollection of any Of it. HIS iet-
ter in the Columbia State this morn
ing is the first 1 ever heard of it..
/, | was present in the Evans oullo-
ing. in Washington, at a conference
he had with John G. Capers, in winch
I took absolutely no part; and no"
little that conference met with my
japproval is shown by the fact that
immediately upon my return from
washington I severed my connectlon
with the state warehouse system on
the very day that I was given pal
