IN MEMORIUM
Elizabeth Bowen
For a child to be universally mourned
she must have been beloved by all who
had known her. The heads of all who
knew her were bowed in genuine grief,
the hearts of all who loved her were
wrun wth unutterable sorrow when
they learrqed that little golden-haired,
blue-eyed Elizabeth, daughter of R.
Edward and Mary E. Bowen, had fallen
into everlasting slumber.
On Tuesday evening, for the first
time in her life, she was touched by the
hind of disease, and on Saturday morn
ing, when the sun flooded the hills with
the golden light of day and the winds
brought the first cold blast of winter,
her drooping eyes were closed for the
last time, and her soul, with the spirit
of the last flowers of autumn, passed
into the Gieat Beyond. Yesterday, a
perfect Sabbath and a perfect day, we
who loved her laid the little body of her
to rest at Liberty in view of the spot
where, five years before in September
past, her body and spirit first blossomed
into our hearts and lives. We laid her
to rest, and Nature, in whose arms she
sleeps, in the silent hours of the night,
while the world slept and the angels
watched, silently and tenderly drew a
soft blanket of downy white about her
and kissed her into blissful dreams of
Heaven. As we watch the drifting
snow we can but think that it is a trib
ute of Jove from Nature, typiflying the
purity and holiness of this angel child.
Her soul is released from the fetters
of clay. It is not given us to know
why she was taken, but surely the Mas
ter has some mission in the Vast Un
known for her spirit to perform which
she could not accomplish while im
prisoned in the flesh. -

born at Old Pickens on April 23, 1859.

MR. MILLER AND MR. EVANS
Joel H.Miller and John Gary Evans
Exchange Spicy Letters .
John Gary Evans, chairman of the
state democratic executive committee
of South Carolina, recently wrote a let
ter to Joel H. Miller of Easley, in re
ply to a newspaper article by Mr. Mil
ler. Mr. Evans requested that his let
ter be made public. In accordance with
Evans' request, Mr. Miller has given
the whole correspondence to the press,
and it makes spicy reading, in addition
to presenting a review of the action of
the state democratic executive commit
tee in refusing a hearing on the charges
of fraud which were offered in connec
tion with the recent primary.
The correspondence, which, as is
shown by Mr. Evans' letter, is publish
ed in accordance with his request is as
follows:
Easley, S. C.. Nov. 16, 1916.
Hon. .no. Gary Evans, So-Called Chair
man State Democratic Executive
Committee, Spartanburg, S. C.
Sir-I have your letter of November
"'L", which, I presume, means 11. I
quote your letter in full, because I ex
pect to turn my letter over to the press
for publication, as suggested in your
letter, and in this manner the record
will be complete. You address me as
follows:
"Mr. Joel Miller, Easley, S, C.:
My dear Mr. Miller- My attention has
been directed to an article published by
you in The Anderson Tribune, entitled
'Card From Mr. Miller.'
"In this article you state: 'I have
investigated this question with many
others from the different counties of the
state. What (lid we last see to our sur
prise?' 'That there were about 1,500
sworn complaints toat came before the
state executive committee to be inves
tigated.' What did they do? I will tell
you what happened and what we did.'
"In the first place, when the chair
man of the state committee moved for
a protest and contest in the election for
governor, not a single voice was raised,
not a sworn complaint was presented,
not a single affidavit or any other com
plaint, verbal or written, was presented
upon which the state committee could
take any action. On the contrary, Mr.
Ritchie signed the report presented by
the sub-committee to the general com
mittee in which it was declared that
Mr. Manning had been nominated by
the democratic primary. Mr. Ritchie
stated that when the-question was pre
sented that he could not vote for it for
the reason that he had seen evidence of
improper practices used in the election.
He did not produce any evidence at this
time upon which the committee could
act, and the question being upon the
adoption of the report, the chairman
ruled it out of order and any otherques
tion that had not been properly present
ed. The chairman further ruled that if
Mr. Ritchie desired he could give his
reason for not supporting the resolution.
The resolution was adopted and neither
Mr. Blease nor any friend of his on the
committee ever offered any evidence of
fraud upon which the committee could
act.
"I believe that you are honest asnd
mean to do what is right, but I am sat.
isfied that you have been deceived as to
the truth of this matter. I am sure
that if you had informed yourself, in
stead of blaming the committee you will
condemin Mr. Blease and his so-called
friends who have triedl to deceive you
and other honest men of this state as to
the truth of the facts in this matter. I
hope you wvill correct your statements,
as there is no foundation for them, anid
in justice to the committee you will
make this letter public.
"With best regards,
"Yours very truly,
"JNO. GARtY 1VANS."
In reply to your letter', I beg to say
that you most assuredly misstate the
facts, but I am not surprised at that.
rhe truth of the matter, as you know,
is as follows:
Six members of the state democratic
3xecutive c9mmittee voted as a protest
against the nomination of Mr. Manning.
The statement submitted by Mr. Ritchie
was the statement of all six of these
gentlemen, and reads in part as fol
tows-and I quote from the Columbia
State, which dlenounced you in 1896 as
bitterly as ever man was dlenounced,
but which seems to be your spokesman
now.
In the Columbia State of Wednesday
morning, September 20, 1916, itls stated:
"'When the committee reported, Mr.
Ritchie said that he had signed the re
port, but could not vote for its adoption.
Hie read a statement alleging, on in
formation andl belief, the use of whis
key and money in favor of Mr. Man
ning. .Six members voted against do
elating Mr. Manning the numinee. . .
.Those voting against the adoption
members from Anderson, Clarend9n,
Laurens, Newberry, Union and York.
In the statement read by Mr. Ritchie
-and I quote again from the Columbia
State-it was stated:
"I take it that no democrat would
want to take his nomination if a great
majority of the electorate should hon
estly believe that he was takinga taint
cd nomination. I have here affidavits
and letters from different parts of the
state, from men of unquestioned integ
rity, which set forth that money, whis
key, coercion and intimidation were
used in the primary election held on the
12th day of this month, and in several
instances that names were placed on the
club rolls on the day of the primary,
and that boxes were opened before the
time provided by law so that a number
of men might vote and that ballots were
fraudulently changed in order to bring
about Mr. Manning's nomination for
governor, These affidavits and letters
are here in the original and will be read
to the committee if it so desires; and
every mail brings additional evidence of
the same character. "
Those affidavits were in yourcommit
tee room in the possession of those six
members, and this statement of Mr.
Ritchie's, which was adopted by the
other members of the committee which
formed the minority of six, offered this
proof to your committee, as is shown
by the facts, and your committee, or a
majority thereof, refused to receive it.
I repeat-these affidavits and letters
and telegrams, to the number of more
than 1,400, were in the committeeroom
at the time, in possession of these six
committeemen, and were offered to your
committee, and refused to receive them
or to hear them read in your presence,
and you as state chairman ruled out all
references to them.
Notwithstanding the fact that even
the Columbia State says there were
charges of fraud, you say that nothing
was presented upon which the state
committee could take any action. Cer
tainly not. You and your cro wd would
not have taken action bgainst Manning
if our Savior had been present and said
there was fraud. Of course Mr. Blease
has never offered any evidence of fraud
because he has sense enough to know
that, no matter h6w strong a case you
might make out, you and your crowd
would have. decided against hi,. Your
actions heretofore had shown that, and
why should he go before your commit
tee when he knew that it would be a
whitewash, and that you all would hold
up your hands and holler "Oh yes, we
have investigated the matter and there
is no fraud."
You were afraid of it and you dodged
it. So be a man and acknowiedge it.
You say that you believe I am honest
and mean to do what is right. I thank
you and regret that I can not return
the compliment. You may be honest,
and you may mean to do what is right,
but your humble servant is convinced to
the contrary. As matter of fact, I pre
fer to believe your Columbia State of
1896 in regard to you than your Colum
bia State of today in regard to you, be
cause I am convinced that the facts
show that the first judgment of the
Columbia State in regard to you was
the more nearly correct.
You say that if I had informed my
self, that instead of blaming the com
mittee I would condemn Mr. Blease.
No, sir. When he foundl that he was
robbed, lie sat silent and made no p~ro
test or contest--did not open his mouth
-and only when the ireform convention
was called and he was requestedl to ad
dress it, did he evei' say yen or nay in
reference to the election.
You say you hope I will correct my
statements Thei'e is nothing to cor
rect. Every one of them is true. Your
committee refused to inv'estigate fraud
when the chai'ges weire made openly
and directly to you hy six of your mem
bers, and this fact you can not dodge,
however you may attempt to (10 so.
I have no apologies to make toyou or
anybody else. There was fi'aud in the
primary, proof of which wvas offered
you as the head of the party in this
state, and you and your' committee re
fused to investigate it. Manning ac
cepted it, and took the office under such
a cloud as no other dlemocrat has ever
taken an offlee in this state. That is
the truth, and your denial at this late
(lay, in the face of the positive evidence
as written by your own spokesman, the
Columbia State, will not convince any
body to the contrary. You know that
if you had investigated those charges
of fraud, Manning's election must have
been declared illegal by your committee
if there was one spark of honesty, left
among a majority of your members, as
at is known to be illegal by a majority I
of the white democrats of this state.
I have been your friend, and have
supported you in the past, but mus tre
gret that I can never do so, in view of
your arbitrary rulings, against fairness
and justice and honesty, in the past
campaign. -
*Yours very trulvy~

AA
Recently Elected Member of the House
of Representatives from Pickens
County.

Amd in 1907 took his A. M. degree. le
then entered the law office of the late
Julius E. Boggs of Pickens, where he
studied law and was admitted to the bar
in 1908. He was married to Miss Essie,
eldest daughter of the late Dr. George
W. Earle of Pickens in November, 1909.
'his union has been blest with three
bright children-two boys and a girl.
Mr. Findley has large farming inter
ests which he looks after himself, be
sides his law practice. He is regarded
as a safe lawyer. He seeks to put law
on a high plane. le has a discrimina
tory mind, presents his cases clear be
fore the court, and makes a splendid
advocate at the bar.
Being strictly honorable, upright and
of the cleanest morals, he will seek to
represent his people in the legislature
to the very best of his ability. We are
fully satisfied that the interests of
Pickenk county will be safe in the hands
of Mr. Finley. It will be of interest to
our older people to know that he is a
great grandson of Col. W. Elbert Wel
born, so well and favorably known by
our older people, and like Colonel Wel
born, he is especially fond of horseback
riding.
Luther W. Pickens

current literature ot the day, and he is
without doubt one of the best informed
men of his age in the county. Mr. Pick
ens is one of the descendants of Gen.
Pick ens of Revolutionary 'fame, and
Gov. Pickens of Civil wvar fame, and
there is no reason why Luther should
mot become as useful in his day as they
were in theirs.

avas married to Miss Esther .Johnson of
E~asley. His wife dliedl several years
igo He has one little boy. He has
