for the past few years, and still an
ardent advocate of the system, was
seen today by VChronicle representa

changes in the present county system
WIhich were hiinted at in a statement
made by him in Charleston. Senator
Blease readily answered (lie questions
whieb svere fired at him. le said:
"Do I t1hink Itat IIlere will be any

Yes, sir: I know it, ithe people of
South Clarolina have always been
kiown to be a sensible peopli and no
set of pol.itival trieksters can fool
them and if a set of lepislators are
deceivel or misled at tile first session
of (e general assembly Ihey alwavs
get as near riwht as possible at tihe
second because it is just previous to
the time when the people have a
canee to pass on the reelection of the
members.
Present Law a Farce. ....
"Any man can see that. the present
liquor law is a farce and T do not be
lieve that the two men that framed
it would go before the people for an
offle.e and take their own baby for a
plank in their platform upon this
question. Take the beer situation in
Charleston and Columbia and you will
find some very interesting matter to
be brought to tle attention of the
