GERMAN DAY CELEBRATED. 1v Charleston Wednesday.-(.overnor Elect Blease and Nephew of En peror Participate. Charleston, Oct. 7.-The German Americans of Charleston celebrated "'Deutscher Tag" Wednesday at the :Schuetzenplatz in a style well worthy of the anniversary of the landing of the first German settlers in America. .on October 6, 1683. The officers, ca dets and three hundred and thirty of the men from the German schoolship 'Freya, which has been in port for -several days, joined with the German; ,citizens in the celebration of the day. 'The exercises began at the Schuet -zenplatz at 3.30 o'clock yesterday af te noon and lasted until 11..r last at. Addresses were made b' Gov elect Cole. L. Blease; Mr. Geo. Lunz, president of the South Carolina branch of the German-American alli :ance; Imperial German Consul Emil H. Jahnz, and Commandant Schau -nann, of the Freya. The exercises 'were presided over by the Hon. John D. Cappeln7n, Southern vice presi dent of the German-American alli ance. The speeches were interspers ed with songs by the Maennrchor Eintracht, and at the conclusion the splendid choir of the Freya delighted the crowd with several selections. Luncheon was served the officers. 'cadets and men of the Freya, after which everybody came out on the -green and enjoyed the outdoor sports. About dark a splendid display of fire works was given, and after this danc ing began at the pavilion and in thte hall of the main building. Two thou sand people were. at the Schuetzen platz last evening, and everybody was enjoying to the fullest the festivities of the occasion. Governor-Elect Blease. Cole. L. Blease, governor-elect of South Carolina, was the next speaker introduced. He was greeted with loud 1applause when he took the floor. Mr. Blease spoke freely on local op tion, and expressed the hope' that all -good Germans would meet in glory 'when life's fitful fever was o'er. Mr. Blease said that he was a hap -py man, because he had been invited to speak on this occasion; because he bad witnessed in the line of march the men of the ranks looking squarely into the eyes of their officers, with honor, honesty and faithfulness to duty written boldly in every feature. 'He felt, he said, that the German ele-I 1nent of Charleston believe that they have in him a man who will stand by 'them, and that they are correct in ~this opinion, for he will always stand iby the men who stand by him. He' ~would die before he would betray a single one of them. The man who strikes those who raise him is worse than the traitor, Benedict Arnold.4 South has no citizen of which she -should be more proud than of her iGerman citizens. He opposed immi-' 'gration, but he never had opposed3 the immigration of the class from which such citizens as these have 1 sprung. Wherever you find a German you find a hard-working man and a ' good citizen.. Charleston is a part ofI South Carolina. The man in the house facing the Battery is as much :a c.itizen of the State as he who 'dwells in the shadow of the Blue 'Ridge. Whenever a man holding pow *er tries to discriminate against one rsection of the State he is not worthy rof the trust imposed in him. Mr. I Blease said that he believed in local option, in letting the people of Char leston have just what they want. There is no right nor justice in hay ing a constable tracking you to your home to question whether or not you .are a law-abiding citizen. 'Turning to the officers of the Freya, *N1r. Blease said that we are Democrats in this country. We believe all men are honest till proven otherwise by a ~jury of 12 men. Then, turning to the crowd, Mr. Blease said that this law had been broken down, and by a man in whose veins there coursed the same blood that flowed in the veins of his auditors. This statement on the part of Mr. Blease was taken by many as referring to Governor Ansel, who, on the occasion of a German Day cele bration in Charleston, made a speech at the Schuetzenplatz and later issued an injunction against the place. Princes and Princesses. Tu-riurg again to the German offi eers,'Governor-elect Blease said: "We welcome you most heartily' to our State. We wish you could tie your boat to a stake and spend the winter with us, at least. We can not promise -to make you all princes in this land. but we can introduce you to the prin cesses of all the land-the fair women 'of Carolina. If you can't stay your selves, when you go back home tell your people to come over and let us Tnake them American citizens. We -will do for them what Germany could 'rever do." Mr. Blease said that he expected to 'be the governor of all the people, "and expected to see every section of South 'Carolina receive the same treatment. Tear ago his father said that he wanted him to be governor of South Carolina. This put the ambition in his heart, and by his father's deathbed he promised to make every effort to become the State's chief executive. Mr. Blease said that when he takes office he will have reached the zenith of his ambition. It will then be his chief aim to receive the plaudits of "well done" from his fellow citizens at the close of the term. "The honor you get from any office," said Mr. Blease, "is the honor you bring to it." In closing Mr. Blease said: "I hope your stay in Charleston will be pleas ant. I hope that after you have done with this life you all will receiva the plaudit, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant,' and then be reward ed with an everlasting home in glory." NEW MORNING PAPER. Nessrs. Koester and Robinson the Pe titioners-Roester Issues State ment The Record. The following statement with re gard to the proposed establishment of a new morning paper in Columbia was given out Friday by Mr. George R. Koester, representing those interested In the project: "A commission was issued today by the secretary of state to George R. Koester and D. W. Robinson, author izing them to organize a corporation to be known as the News Publishing company, for the purpose of publish ing a daily morning newspaper at Co lumbia." In regard to the proposed new- pa per, Mr. Koester said today: "'This is the first authoritative tatement as to the new paper that! 1as been given out. Much idle gossip ind rumor has been published and ,irculated in regard thereto. An er roneous impression has gone out imong some that the new paper is to be an organ of the incoming bugerna :orial administration. Nothing is fur ther from the purposes and intention >f those connected with the new pa per. It is to be essentially a news paper, will be owned and controlled by business men in all sections of south Carolina, without regard to po itical associations or affiliations, men who believe there is a wide field in his State for a morning paper pub ished at Columbia, which will give ews as it is, uncolored by prejudices r bias, and whose editorials will be levoted to temperate discussions of, neasur-es, principles and policies, ~vithout degenerating into bitter per onalities. "'The demand for such a paper is trong, not only in this city, but all ver the State. Because of my ex erience in organizing and managing ewspapers, a number of those who esire the opening of a new paper ave naturally sought my services. I ave agreed to take charge of the novement, upon condition that the aew paper should be created and or ~anized in such way as to make its se for persona:1, petty, vengeful ends mpossible; but will leave open its ~olumns for a fair and candid and emperate presentation of political is-p ues and public men; giving a square eal to all. There is a field for such , newspaper; and if it fills that field atisfactorily, its success will be as ured. "'The commission granted today au horize's the formation of a company vith $50,000.00 capital stock. This um was named because it had prac ically all been subscribed, and the 'orporation can be immediately form dJ and proceed to purchase its plant, rganize its staff, and make the neces ~ary contracts and arrangements for tarting the publication of a paper not ater than January 1, next, which is ~onsidered important. But a large in rease of the capital stock, sufficient o0 put the new newspaper on a sound inancial basis, will be applied for im nediately after the organization, and ssurances from many sections of the state have been received that this ad litional capital will promptly be sub- 1 ~cribed. "'Mr. Robinson and myself are but he representatives of business men ~vho will appear at the organization of he company. The plan in brief is to lace the control of the newspaper for t term of years in the hands of nine epresentative men of the State. who ~vill be under pledge to make the pa er adhere to the course mapped out dove. No person who is the occu ant of a political office or a candi ate for a political office can be a ember of this board of control, and he mere announcement of candidacy or a political office by any member of he board will ipso facto vacate his* position on the board.'''
