/ have proof to verify them. Fur
thermore, there's no harm Of accus-
ing the Republican party of any and
everything. Almost c.aily I accuse
them of wrongdoing on the floor of
the senate. Of course, it's the best
to have the proof, but you can make
general charges, such as stealing,
selling Offices, buying votes, robbing
the people by special laws, confscat-
ing large part of the value of the
crop and many other iniquitous mat
ters whereby they plumber the people
for the benefit Of the classes.
Anyway, the point am making in
this case your editorial seems to
question the accuracy Of the convic-
ton of Tolbert, and, as aforesaid,
my information is certified copy of
the record of the Court. Of course,
1 understand you did not mean to
misrepresent anything I said, but l
want to keep the records straight.
Please give this any publicity you
see fit.
Kind regards,
Yours truly,
NJ. B. DIAL,
Laurens, S. c., Oct. 80, 1922.
This is very interesting letter, to
be sure. 1t sets Senator Dial straight
nobody has ever said he was crook
ed, and certainly we have not ques-
toned any statement he has made in
the Tolbert case or any other matter
he has discussed in the Senate. Care
full reading of the paragraph quoted
from The Journal by Senator Dial
will show him that the "ifs" employ
ed by US did not suggest any doubt
of the accuracy of any statement he
may have made in this case. "If" the
Senator will "read, mark. learn and
inwardly digest" the fourth para
graph of his entertaining letter he
will see that eff" he had sent the
"record" in the Tolbert case to The
journal, that invaluable publication,
devoted to preserving the truth OF
history and the welfare of the peo-
pie, would not have deemed it best
to refrain, in the circumstances, from
making direct quotation from him,
In the meantime, it IS to be hoped
that the Senator will be so refreshed
and strengthened by visiting around
among his friends that he will re.
new his fight against Tolbert when
Congress reassembles and keep it ur
until justice and decency triumph

Senator Dial and Joe Tolbert


To the Editor of The Journal:
| notice an editorial in your paper
sof Saturday, the 28th, in reference
to the confirmation of Joseph W.
Tolbert as Marshal for the Western
District of our State, where you
speak of Judge Watkins swearing in
Tclbert as follows:
eve do not know what the facts
are, out we have not the least doubt
if Toibert had been convicted, as
Senator Dial is said to have charged,
of embezzlement in the Western
District of this State, he would not
have been sworn into any Office of
the Federal Court of the Western
District in a thousand years if the
present judge could keep his health
that long. This, we should think,
would be matter Of much interest
to the full senate, and the regular
readers of the Congressional Record,
in the debate on the abuse of the ap-
pointing power by the President"
Don't put any "ifs" in this PROPOSE
tion. It seems you question my
statement. said the records show
he was guilty Of embezzlement and
I had a certified copy of the record
from C. j. Hutson, Clerk of the Unit
ed States District Court at Charles
ton, S. c., and attested by the seal
of the Court, and I filed this record
with the committee of the Judi
ciary Committee of the Senate. The
trial was had at Greenville before
the Western District was established.
If you or any one else want to
see a copy of the record, it's public
matter, and if you will write to Mr..
Hutson, in Charleston, you can get
it, or if you will write to my Office
in Washington, we will send you a
copy, or if you will write General
Bonham, in Anderson, he will send
you copy, as saw in the paper he

Betting on Elections.

Occasionally one hears here and
there of a bet on local or state cleo
ton, but in this part of the country
the evil has not grown to any great
proportions. However, in the large
cities it is an increasing evil and
should be condemned not only be-
cause it is a transgression of moral
and civil law but also because it
tends to influence elections, thus
subverting the cause of good govern
ment. The State has the following to
say editorially this morning concern
ing the increasing evil of betting on
elections:
"Betting is generally called vice.
Clergymen, teachers and all OF the
accredited moral agencies and agents
condemn it. The laws everywhere,
state and municipal, prohibit it.
"Nevertheless, when an election is
imminent the betting on elections is
not only reported but given conspic-
aous place in newspapers .Conserva-
tive journals in great cities publish
on front pages the odds for and
against candidates and the custom
has gained rapidly in late years.
The names of brokers handling bets
are printed and nothing is thought
of it.
'sThe betting, while the odds are
often misplaced, to a degree inlu-
ences the trend of elections. Publ
cation of the news of it increases
the betting and augments its weight
as a political factor. It is coming to
be recognized as legitimate and its
Insidious influence for corruption is
increasing"
Tolbert Totally Unworthy of Position
He Holds.
1t will be shown from the follow.
ing editorial taken from the Spartan.
burg Journal. embodying letter
from Senator Dial, that Joe Tolbert
is totally unworthy of the position
of United States marshal of the Yves.
tern District, yet being under Repub.
lican domination we are powerless in
hits state to help ourselves. Senator
Dial has persistently fought Tolbert's
confirmation in the senate but Presi-
dent Harding made a recess appoint
ment which will give Tolbert the
place at least until the senate con-
venes again.

HOROSCOPE.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IL 1922

Uranus, Venus and the Sun in
benefic aspect rule today, according
to astrology. Neptune is adverse
after midday
This is primarily a planetary gov
eminent under which all joint in
terests of men and women should
benefit greatly. While the sway
encourages love and romance. it is
equally potent in business and pro-
fessional associations.
Uranus is supposed to impart
clear vision and real understand
ing during this configuration which
should bring profit to cooperation
between men and women.
Hotels and restaurants should
profit at this time and there should
be a sudden improvement of bus
mess at winter resorts.
Dealers in merchandise : that
makes special appeal to women
buyers are subject to a promising
direction of the stars which seems
to indicate great demand for arti-
cles sold by importers, modistes and
milliners.
All the signs presage increase of
interest in the best forms Of drama
and the rise of new theatrical stars
in forecast.
1t has been prophesied from time
to time that the methods of pro-
ducing plays and the arrangements
of theatrical enterprises would I'M
dergo sweeping changes and now
the seers declare that 1925 will
bring about entirely new conditions.
After noon today it is well to
distrust ones Judgment and to be
careful about making decisions that
are forward-looking.
Western Germany is likely to feel
the effects of the planetary con-
junction of Mars and Uranus in
Pisces December Is, and to suffer
from serious Industrial and politi-
cal troubles.
High tides and floods are to be
expected on the coasts of Italy.
The epoch of crimes of various
sorts is not near its close il the
stars are read Alright. and there
must be severe measures based on
scientific methods IL conditions are
to be improved, astrologers declare.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the forecast of travel and
change. They will meet with much
success in business, but should
guard against deception.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be original, inventive and
affectionate. Fame usually comes
to these gifted ones.

Joe saw Ed get his change from

near the pocket containing the
money.

He handed something to the driv-

for Jeanne and Adele, and waved 1t
away; signalling his own car to
take its place at the curb.
Jeanne got in with a feeling of
misgiving. She had not forgotten
her last Interview with Candy.
Seated opposite her, Candy looked
her over insolently;, but a spark
of unwilling admiration lit in his
heavy eyes.

Got a letter from North the
other day. Remember he went to
California? Says there's going to
be some boom in railroad land out
around the neck of woods where
you said your ranch was. Think
it would affect your property"
Jeanne hid her surprise.
II doubt it." she said evenly.
Besides / sold out. and it's too late
to think of such a thing"
She was startled none the less.
Could 1t be possible that by any
chance the worthless property Har-
rison had taken over might become
valuable?
A sudden hope leaped IN her
breast. She had no doubt what
ever but that Harrison could be de-
pended upon to return her lands If
her wild dream of the railroad cut
ting through should be realized. If
such a thing happened. she might
even yet be saved from catastrophe.
The car drew up in front of
Adele's hotel.
NO use to ask you up" laughed
Adele. THE adoring bride Is has
tening to hubby's office, Dick. Don't
detain her a moment. Rush her
right downtown before you have
Vic on your trail"
She waved them goodbye. and
sped into the hotel. Candy gave
the order to his chauffeur. and
changed over to the seat beside
Jeanne.
Now that Adele's out of the way,
suppose We have a little truth.
Marriage isn't the big success you
expected-I can see that! Why?"
Jeanne sank deeper into her furs.
What a ridiculous idea. What
makes you say that?"
It's generally a pretty safe as
sumption. Most marriages are fall
ures. Only extraordinarily good
sports-or fools-pretend that they
are not"
DO you speak from experience? -
Jeanne inquired.
