A Card At the last meeting of the campaign held Saturday night the 27th ult., Mr. Blease, my opponent for the senate, who had the last speech of the cam paign. declared in very emphatic lan guage that I had supported a bill to provide for a process of garnishment introduced by Mr. D. Lewis Dorroh of Greenville. I had no opportunity in the closing hours of the meeting to explain what motion I had voted for as the audience was very impa tient, and I did not think anxious to listen to any full explanations as to the effect of different motions which can be made in the house of repre sentatives. I did not think, however, that Mr. Blease treated me, his opponent, al together justly in bringing up new matters at the last meeting of the campaign, and in the last speech, when -I did not have a good oppor tunity to explain the matter intelli gently. I do not wish to be under stood as intimating that the result of the election was changed by Sat urday night's meeting. Mr. D. Lewis Dorroh, whose let ter I publish, is a nephew of the late Dr. Wm. Dorroh of this county. This letter is published so that my record may be shown in its true light to the people of Newberry coun ty, who have several times honored me with official position. I think that this is due them, as otherwise the charge of'Mr. Blease would go unde nied. Yours very truly. Arthur Kibler. September i, i9o4. Mr. Dorroh's Letter. Greenville, S. C.. Aug. 31. 1904 Mr. Arthur Kibler, Newberry, S. C. Dear Kibler: - Yours of the :9th just received. I take pleasure in giving you the statement you ask for, as I clearly remember the trans action. I solicited your support for my bill to pro-vide a process of garn ishment and explained to you the pur pose of the bill-to provide a quicker and surer way to get at fraudulently concealed property and money than the supplementary procedings already provided in the code. You would not agree to support the bill, but readily promised to hear me further on it later. I did not get to see you again however. While the bill was under considera tion in the house, R. S. Whaley, of * Charleston, moved to continue it-a motion, which, if carried, disposes of a bill without debate. I was greatly surprised at Mr. Whaley's mo,tion, as every member of the house is usy ually willing to give every bill a fair showing, and, as the speaker was put ting the question I called out, "Vote it down boys and give us a hearing." You were one of those who voted against the motion, and, though your desk was too far from mine for mue to hear what you said. I distinctly re member seeing you wave your hand at Whaley as though remonstrating with him. Several of those who were opposed to the bill, like you, voted against disposing of it without dis cussion. Mr. Whaley afterwards as sured me that his motion was not made out of any desire to be unfair to me, but to shut off Mr. Holman, who was loaded with a speech against the bill. All of this was during the session of 1904. You have my full permission to publish this letter or any part of it. With best wishes, I am, as ever, Your friend, D. Lewis Dorrob. News From Excelsior.
