No. 72 ' NT 'VV V-Vr 'N TILLMAN TO GOVERNOR BLEASE ! booth Carolina Senator Exhorts the Gov ernor to be Good. .'. a Inn open letter to Governor Cole L. Blease, Senator B. R. Till man, in characteristic language, resents the oft repeated assertion in South Carolina that Bleaseism is Tillmanism. - The Senatbr asks Blease to meet the criminal charges that have been brought against him, de nounces' his methods and urges him to try to be a "decent Gov ernor." " "Tillmanism means genuine Democracy, the rule of the people, of all the white people rich and poor alike with special privileges and favors to none, with equality Of opportunity and equality of burden to all," says khe Senator. Bleaseism, on the contrary, means personal ambition and greed for office the office to be used not for the welfare of all the people and of the State, but for 'BJease and his friends, none other need ap ply.'" Further he says "you never shall, if I can prevent it, carry out your threat to make the people of South Carolina 'sweat blood' be cause so many of them have not been bambooseled and debauched by L your -demagogic appeals. " Again referring to the difference between Tillmanism and Blease ism he says: , ' "I want those who consider Bleaseism as Tillmanism to take this contrast into consideration wnen tney mane up meir noai judgement. Tillmanism as. Till man preaches it. and has always preached it is noble, high and ele vating. Bleaseism is ' selfish, low dirty and revengeful.'? .V v v The Senator rejoices in the vote he received in the recent primary from those who have always op posed him but charges Blease with having stolen - the vote of the old line Tillmanites from him. uuuviuuiug ma icibci, wuicu to quite lengthy, Senator Tillman savs: v. " , "If you can clear yourself of the foul accusations made against you in the Governor's office and will pursue a wholly different policy , there is some future for you in the State. If you do not your name will go down in history as the very worst native South Caro linian who was ever Governor, Moses not excepted. I repeat you are 'eminently qualified to be Governor so far as brains go,' and if you reform and make good in the two yeas you have yet to serve in that office the people may forgive you; . But ' you must be Governor of the whole people and not for your friends alone and they will take care of your future destiny, always? supposing that you clear yourself of the infamous charges that have been brought against you. For unless - you do that you can never hope to aspire to higher promotion, for 1 the peo-' pie of South Carolina will never send t3 Washington a man not above suspicion.

"Will you make use of it and show them you are a man arid not a demon! Pot the devil behind you and be the Governor of all the people instead of your friends alone." BLEASE REPLIES TO TILLMAN. . fTour letter has been carefully read and it but adds to the efforts which have already been made by the newspapers and : others to dis credit the people of South Caro lina, by charging them with dis honesty and injuring -them by holding them up to the world, that her government, is selfish and corrupt," says Governor Blease in his letter replying to Senator Till man. Charging that the news papers were fighting him bitterly because of his veto of the libel bill, the Governor says: "Since then approval of the editors, but on the contrary every suggestion of mine, whether it be for the best interests of the State or not, has been fought and Bneered at" Contin; airs he eays tat the newspapers have done great injury to the Etata, but that tv3 people "know i rt f-3 tr: :pers were f-V 1 ..J,:z J cntruo &&! tLit ts;j wcra cnfJr, "tiv tcca insda FOX FARM RUN BY A BROOKLYN MAN James A. Kane Raises Pelts For tvi Coats Out Oq His Pennsylvania "Estate." . ,New Tork, Sept. 2. James A. Kane of 489 Third street, Brook lyn, raises foxes, though many of his neighbors don't know it. They need not learn it with misgiving, however, 'Mr. Kane's fox farm is not iu Third street, but at Booth wyn in Delaware county, Pennsyl vania. ' It's a long way from Hudson bay to Delaware county, but there will be promenaders of Broadway and Fifth avenue this winter whose wlld fox" skins really came from peaceful surroundings in Pennsyl vania. ' The fox ranch apparently is more profitable than the adjoining farm screened by a wood. ; The sight of Mr. Kane's automobile has caused the farmers .to wonder whether or not it would not be a good business move to leave farm ing for fox breeding. . Mr. Kane at present has about 200 foxes ready for marketing and has orders for as many as he can raise. The runs in which the foxes live and breed are secreted in a valley and are screened by a wood. Only the barking of the red coated animals at meal time shows . that an unusual, industry is being car ried on. ' . ' - ' Hounds of the neighboring farm ers first gave away the secret. The crisp atmosphere carried the scent Ufar, the hounds became restless, gave noise and followed the scent, only to wind up on the Outside Of the wire enclosed, ranch. : Mr Kane has made a science of the breeding of foxes. He has ex perimented with silver tipped foxes and with black foxes, ,but he believes that the red coated, finely marked reynards give the best re sults in this climate. ; , A Jamacican negro is the active manager of the fox farm. He has brought the captives into a re markable state of tameness. They show absolutely no fear of him and wait to - be petted v when he enters the runways - at feeding time; He has trained. several of them in much the same manner as a person would train a dog and they have been taught to run after a ball and fetch it back, receiving in payment an apple or a carrot. Unlike their brothers bred in the woods the tame foxes eschew meat ' Bice pudding is their favorite and their principal diet. It not only agrees ; with them, ac cording to (he Jamacian manager, but it makes their skins fine and glossy. : :v;H n ' Morning, noon and night the foxes are fed; The! older animals gather almost to the minute of meal time around the feeding boxes and when the keeper appears they almost knock him over in their anxiety to get at the rice pudding. : . Mr- Kane has owned the fox farm for nearly 10 years and even ; now he is not anxious that any person, other than those with whom he does business, should know it . He declarec absolute quiet is necessary for the success ful raising of foxes. Shelter of concrete have been erected for the animals. Beds of straw are provided in the shelters, but they shun then) for their own bunks, made in the artificial cav erns and the clumps of woods. stronger for me.'.' , .; Spying that he had been most "maliciously lied upon and his speeches misconstrued, distorted and parts ot ' sentences only pub lished, making him apparently say the opposite of what he did say, the Governor proceeds to ex plain what he meant when he said: " "To hell with the constitu tion." He said that if there was anything in the constitution that madewhite ladies associate with negroes, then "To hell with the constitution." , As to the "sweat blood" refer ence he says: "I said at another time that if I was defeated for re election by the old Haskellite crowd that I would make them sweat political blood. I meant that when I said it, and I mean it now, not by pardoning criminals which you seem to have dreamed with your eyes open, or by any other iral-administratiori of the office of Governor, but Btrictly in a hct way.

A. bhaw Raises Tropical Nuts ia Hit Orchard No Monkiti Hereto "eat em." To say that everything from peanuts to elephants can be raised in North Carolina is a pretty true statement, for here in Lincoln county thousands of miles from their orignal adaptation tropical nuts are grown. A climate made pleasant by the cool summer breezes and crisp winter winds, where the heat of the sun is not intense the whole year round and where pestilential monkies may not eat them, Mr. J. A. Shaw who lives on Lincolntou route four is growing almonds. He set out a tree three years ago and this year, it bore nuts, having on it about two bushels. It is interesting to observe the nature of the tree and fruit. It blooms and leaves like a . peach tree. The nut grows in a pod that resembles a peach in col or and when the nuts have matured, and fall off the pod burst open very much like an open stone peach. To figure the price of these nuts is right interesting also. Here they are retailed out of the grocery stores at 20c per pound, and counting 30 pounds to the bushel this would mean 16.00 per bushel. At this rate it would pay hand somely to raise the nuts. Mr. Shaw has some other foreign fruit in his orchard which seems to be climatizing itself splendly. A DELIGHTFUL PARTY. On last Thursday evening the young folks of this vicinity gather ed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Sain where Misses Mae and Emma gave an ice cream supper in honor of thPir friends Mr. Sid Michutn and sister, Miss Pearl, who left Monday,, for Lenoir Col lege.
