That is a question which proceedings of the senate devel oped. and on which Senator Cole L. Blease of Newberry, in ans wer to inquiry, delivered himself of opinions which are not at all favorable to the board if Commis sioner Tatum’s statements are true. During the afternoon session Thursday, when the Christensen resolution was up for consider ation, Senator Crouch of Saluda asked permission to propound certain questions to the senator from Newberry, which follow, to gether with Mr. Blease.s ans- swers: Are the conditions reflected in Commissioner Tatum’s letter, if true, in violation of law? Yes. If so, who are responsible? The members of the board. Are they subject to criminol prosecution under the law if these facts be true? Yes. Whose duty is it to prosecute? Any citizen of South Carolina who sees fit. Is it necessary for the prose cuting officer to have instruct ions from this body to proceed criminally? No. Is it Improper for this body to pass a resolution instructing the attorney general to proceed crim inally against those violating the law as set forth in Commissioner Tatum’s letter? No. Every member of the senate paid close attention to the ques* tions and answers and consider ing Senator Blease’s affiliation with the State dispensary his replies were considered signifi cant. We call the attention of the Aiken county delegation in the legislature to the disreputable condition of the State House grounds, and we are glad to know that one of the last acts of the retiring governor was the sending oi a special message to the general assembly on the condition of the Sta'e house grounds. The need for great improvement has been generally con mented on by the new members and others and it is cer tain that something will be done at this session to provide a remedy A larger appropriation is needed and the entire time of some or.e, for a short while at any rate, to put the grounds in condit ion. The Centenary of Robert E. Lee. On January 19'.h General Lee would have been one hundred years old and on that evening the ladies of Edward Croft chapter, daughters of the Con federacy will entertain the old veterans at Mrs P. A. Emanel’s residence. Hie following eulogy of General Lee occurs in a paper about ’-itn in -Tanuary Lippincott’s Magazine written by the widow of General Piekett. ’’General Lee wass noted for his im partiality. Only worthy deeds won re- cogn lion from him. He was urged by some o his officers to give his own son command of a brigade, but replied that hecould not appoint an untried offi er important a position. ”He paid 110 in re attention to per sonal antonisms than to personal affec tion in the management of tlx* army. Here ommended a certain officer for promotion, despite the fact that friends urged him to withdraw his favor be cause the officer was in the habit of speaking disparagingly of l.t e. “The question is not what he thinks of o e, but what I think of him,’ he said. I have a very high opinion of this oftieeJ as a soldier, and I sh ill cer tainly recommend hint for promotion, and do all in my power to secure it.” "One of his officers, speaking of the enemy, once remarked : 'I wish those people were all dead.’” •• How can you say that!’ Lee remon strated. ‘Now, 1 wish they were all at home attending to their own business, leaving us to at tend to ours”.
