Mr. Editor:
Please allow me space to make a
little Inquiry. I notice in the Dally
News ttyrt Mr. .C. T. Hardiaon, road
overseer, notifies the public that i
has discharged his duty on the >oad
and called on the County Commission
ers for help which he waa unable to
receive. This statement I Call to un
derstand. The commissioners passed
an order for the comrlcts to go on Mr.
Hardiaon 's road, but. like all other
townships, it was under the supervis
ion of the commissioner in said town
ship. I passed over Mr\ Hardison's
road July 11, and called the Washing
lngton township commissioner's at
tention to the dangerous condition at
Aggie's Run. He assured me the con
victs would be there in a few days.
Now, who is responsible? I see a
card announcing the candldaey of Mr.
W. ?. Thompson for the Legislature.
I have been associated with him two

Miw Yorki, July *?. ? Shipping In
the Brooklyn nary yard was threat
wed by destruction today wheo^a big
navy department lighter, containing
1.800 rounds or eight-Inch ammuni
tion from the battleship New Jersey
caaght fire at the Cob dock. The
?upply ship Culgos was set adrift to
mts her and the receiving ship Han
cock narrowly escaped. The lighter
wa? finally burned to the water's edge
In aid-stream in the Bast river. One
Mftman was badly burned and may
Ate.
The heat of the past two days had
Stt*4ted the powder and some of It. In
one of the eight-inch shells ? none of
them contained projectites ? suddenly
flared with a terrific burst of flames
just after it had been transferred
from the Culgoa to the lighter. The
flame from th* first shell Immediately
set lire to the powder in the other.
There were fifteen men aboard the
lighter at the time, engaged In plac
ing the ammunition aa It was csrrled
from the supply ship. The flaring
powder gave them no chance to es
cape to the Culgoa and they all Jump
ed overboard to save their lives. One
of them, Everett McDonald, was badly
burned before he jumped and after
he wss picked up he was taken to the
naval hospital In the navy yard. He
Is In a serious condition.
Th greatest excitement quickly pre
vailed in the naval hospital In the
navy yard. The private fire depart
ment dent all its apparatus to the Cob
dock, but by the time It reached there
the Culgoa was in such Imminent dan
ger that the men aboard her cut the
cablfe* holding the lighter last and
both went adrift In the Cob dock

Hancock.
The Hancock was filled with sea
men and petty officers detached from
duty. They scurried sbout the decks
and all hands made ready to shunt
the burning lighter out into the
stream if she approached too close.
But the tide csrrled the burlnlng ves
sel directly out Into the East river.
Several tugs were passing at the time
and they put about to prevent the
lighter from endangering other pass

ers. Later. I *. . f'or
>ellevlng that ^ will be best
tor the Democratic party, and I had
jot Intended writing again. I am a
farmer and not a newspaper writer
is a rule. Since then I have been in
'ormed that our county treasurer, Mr.
Foseph P. Tayloe, has made the state
nent that I have not voted the Demo
cratic ticket In six years. This state
nent la not correct.
I have never voted any other than
Jie Democratic ticket In my life. Mr.
rayloe knows that I have been re
garded as good enough Democrat to
lav* been a member of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of this
:ounty. .
i objett to being read out of the
[>arty by Mr. Tayloe becatfte I favor
nmethlng In the Interest of the party
which Interferes with his desire to
continue In offlce.
I helped to put Mr. Tayloe in office.
I received no reward for that. Am
I now to be punished because I am
willing to help put some other good
Democrat !n office?
Mr. Tayloe has <. held the position
of county treasurer for about eight
years and has received something
over twelve thousand dollars (911.*
000.00) from the offlce. No other
Democrat has ever been or has ever
had the chance to be treasurer of the
county since that offlce was separated
from that of sheriff. Is the test of
Democracy to be whether one Is will
ing for Mr Tayloe to continue to hold
this profitable office against all other
Democrats? ,
Does Mr. Tayloe deny that occasional
changes In office holders Is advisable
for the sakcf of /harmony and good
government.
Did not Mr. Tayloe htmHelf vote
and work for a change in the offlce
holders of his home town last year
I.uv-p the ground that such chance*
wTfcdvtsiabie?
V believe some change is needed to
1 prevent los# to our party in this
county.
Under the present system It has
been losing ground. We cast 2,983
Democratic votes for Governor In this
county, ten (10) years ago. Six (?)
years ago only 770 Republican votes
were cast for Governor. Two years
ago Mr. Tayloe received only 1,879
votes and bis Republican opponent
received 1,269. Here is an actual
loes of over one thousand (1.000)
| Democratic votes in this county, not
making any allowance for the In
crease In population and a gain of
Ave hundred (500) Republican votes.
In 1908 the Democratic vote in the
State was' over twenty thousand
(20,000) more than 1904, and yet
In Beaufort county the Democratic
vote was less In 1908 than In 1904.
The Increase In Republican votee
can be accounted for by our county's
Increase In population; but how can
'you account for the loes in Demo
cratic votee? They stay at home,
take no interest, see no chance for
any but the few who already hold the
offices, and are tired of hearing the
'same old song year after year.
When I put my party and my par
ty's welfare shead of my personal
friendship for men I am as good a
Democrat as one who would want to
continue to capture the offices and re
wards In the face of this steady drain
on and Iobs to the party.
This article is written In justice to
myBelf and with no feeling against
I any man. I had made no personal
fight on any candidate. I am not
personally unfriendly to any of the
present officers, and would not have
written this article had not my Dem
jocracy been attacked.

NARROW ESCAPE
Party In (jusollne Launch Came Near
Being Drowned.
Messrs. 2. M. Potts, Thomas Rob
| bins and Ralph Nowell are still talk
ing about theif trip to Portsmouth.
In. C., and the rough experience they
encountered on the turbulent Atlan
tic. Mr. Potts is a great admirer of
the briny deep, and prior to his re
cent adventure was never happier
than when sailing on its bosom. 8ince
his return and he tredB terra firms
In safety he has almost decided that
land is preferable to water ? espe
cially when old Neptune' is disturbed
and unruly. Mt. Robblne, while not
so talkative as his comrades, has done
no little tnlnking since his return.
They had a perilous trip and come
near being consigned to a watery
grave judging from the account as
told to a News man.
One day while at Portsmouth. Cap
tain Whealton, a former resident of
Washington, kindly consented to take
Messrs. Potts, Robblns and Nowell to
the wreck Aroyo, a large steamship
wrecked off the beach about six
months ago. The vessel was 376 feet
long and carried a crew of 80, and
was loaded with five thousand tons of
Iron ore. The pa'rty left Portmouth
In Captain Whealton's gasoline
launch. There were six In the party.
When about six miles off lsnd and
lacking at least four miles from be
ing to the wreck on account of the
tieavy sea a hole was knt?cked in the
>oat. The wind was from the south
west and blowing a gale. The water,
lotwithstandlng that every one was
balling, gained headway fast, so It
was decided to turn around and make
for the shore. In trying to accom
plish this the engine was put out of
rbmmlsslon. To quote My. Potts the
:lme had arrived to "sail, pull or
lrown." Three of the party began
lulling with all their power for land;
two handled buckets in a way to com
mand admiration while the skipper ,
ttood ground at the wheel. By hard
ppork they Anally succeeded in getting
back over the bar, and this is the
;ime where Mr. Potts said he desired
loraethlnR to appease his appetite.
The life saving crew saw the perilous
condition of the psrty and came to
their rescue, doing all within their
>owor for their comfort. Messrs.
Potts. Robbln# snd Nowell presented
?ach one of the life saving crew with
louvenir* of tfie trip ? relics from the
wrecked ship given thetn by Captain
Whealton. It was a narrow eecaps.
ktid since their retain they have been
