1 PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE; BIJEASE MADE HIS RKt'OKl The following letter appeared li The News and Courier ot Charleston September 10, 1910: "Newberry, Sept. 9, (1910?Spt cial: The report having been indus triously circulated to the effect thn If Mayor Cole L. Mease should h< elected governor he would parr'en clients whom he had defended as at attorney and that he would pardot the 'grafters' if any 'grafters' shouh he convicted, the matter was tortaj brought to Mr. Mense's attention. " 'All who know me know the' this lis false,' said Mr. Mease when asltc: if he had any statement to make 'but for fear that this attack upon in* may find lodgment in the minds o some who do not know me I r.ov brand It as false. I have defender many men charged with crime and I have defended them with nil tin vigor which I possess. As a private attorney I have sought pardons foi clients. I have defended some mer charged with crimes who were m> friends and it may be that other* who are my friends may be charged with crimes. Some of them may be innocent and some of them may be guilty. As a private attorney when defending a man 1 have always used every honorable means in his behalf gnd fought for him "to the last ditch." But official duty is anothei matter. When there is official duty to be performed those who know me know I would seek to do my official duty as faithfully and as conscientiously as I have always sought to do my private duty, whether it were in the defense of a man charged with crime or in any other matter. Friendship is one thing and duty is another. Where the two conflict there is but one course for the honorable man. A nobler sentiment was never uttered than that of Robert E. I/ce expressed in his immortal words "duty is the sublimest word in the English language." " '1 think that my record as mayor of Newberry is conclusive proof to investigate that neither personal friendship nor any other influence has ever interfered with the discharge of what I conceive to be my duty. " 'If I am elected governor I shall exercise the pardoning power as my conscience dictates after I have earnestly sought the light of truth geil Justice. "'These between campaign slanders which are being used against ra?? I do not believe will injure me breather do me good for the people of this State have learned long since that this method of attack is cowardly and that if there had been merit In It it would have be<* used at some time during the long weeks before the first primary.' " "Columbia, January 9. (19151.? Special: All convicts paroled 'dut lng good behavior' by the present chief executive were granted full pardons hv a blanket pardon issued by Got. Blease this afternoon through a proclamation filed in the office of R. M. KfcOown, secretary of State. It is estimated that over 1,000 were affected by this action, citizenship rights being restored to fully that number by Gov. t Rlease with one stroke of the pen. "Since assuming office in January, 1911, the present governor has exercised clemency in 1,662 cases, over 1,000 of which were paroles Issued during good behavior. This proclamation issued today gives all of these unconditional pardons "An unconditional pardon was granted W. T. Jones, the wealthy Union farmer, who was paroled only a few weeks ago after serving part of a life term for murder of his wife. There were some other conditions attached to the parole of Jones besides that of good beftiavior and it took a special pardon to free him." "This was nearly a week before Gov. Bloase resigned as governor," The News and Courier points out. "Between the time this proclamation of general annesty was issued and January 14, 1915, when his resignation was submitted to the general assembly, the list of pardoos and commutations Issued by Gov. Blease was brought to a total of 1,708. The last thing he did before sending In his resignation was so sign 'in red ink* j-ardons and commutations in 27 cases." Nothing In the foregoing has evei been questioned. Facts are facts Foraaer Got. Blease has not denier! them. He made the record. It is thr record of Mr. Blease In the office oi gorernor of Smith Carolina. BARLEY'S FIRST BAIJE. Easley, Sept. 6.?The first hale oi tM sseason's cotton was ginned ant sold here this morning.
