Ruining Gov. Blease. Abbeville Press and Banner. Some of the newspapers seem anx ious to turn public sentiment against Gov. Blease. They will no doubt be as successful against the governor as they were against Candidate Blease. A Defunct Institution. Abbeville Press and Banner. Gov. Blease has commuted the sen tence of John Black from five years in the pen to the payment of a $2,000 fine. Black had some connection with the business of the State dispensary. The dispensary is a defunct institution that dealt in liquor. Kept Separate-If. Spartanburg Jourinal. Gov. Blease is anxious that the three departments of the government be kept separate with the exception that he be allowed to interpret the laws. True Blue. Spartanburg Journal. The governor's pardon of Black, the convicted dispensary grafter, shows that Mr. Blease is a true blue when it comes to "standing by his friends." Did He Retract? Rock Hill Record. Blease said Saturday: "Nothing that - a talking delegate may say can con vince the factory people that I am not their friend." Yet that same "walking delegate" forced Blease to retract his public declaration on the necessity of factory !nspection. But Blease says he is going to do it in his own way, which will be a mighty poor and ineffective way, because the ge ernor intends to appoint some of his polit.ical ward-rheelers to the job of inspector. His Platform. Orangeburg Times and Democrat. While we do not agree with some things Gov. Blease has done, we are bound to say that he has not done a thing since his election that he did not 0 say he would do if he was elected when he was ruhnning for governor. He is living up to his platform. re gardless of who it hurts or helps. Did He? Rock Hill Record. tro0v. Blease has. met his Waterloo in tying to force Chief Justice Jones in the matter of appointing a special judge. Mr. Justice Jones conclusive ly sat upon the governor and plainly told hin that he was going to do 11 has way. Plainly, Blease is not boss of the State's judiciary.. It Could Be Worse. Florence Times. The question is often asked "Whai can we do with Blease?" There is really nothing to do. The State oj * South Carolina, and the people befori this was a State had governors ever worse than Blease, and yet the pres tige of South Carolina has not beer dimmed, and her hopes have not beer wrecked. We can survive Blease jus1 as our forefathers survived the i1: that they had to bear and the Stati will be just as great, if not' greate> for the experience it passed through. Sticking to His Friends. enUnion Progress. So Gov. Blease has commuted th< sentence of Major John Black, a for mer dispensary director of Chester by paying a fine of $2,000, which wil keep the major from enterting th< prison ,valls of the State dispensary This brings out the fact more vividl: tan ever that the governor is stick thin. SrkdDuty? Beaufort Counly Democrat. F. Another result of the hasty get-a rway was the postpcunement until nex year of the election of an addition,a associate justice of the supreme couri which was provided for in an amend ment to the constitution recentl: sanctioned at the polls and ratified b * the legislature. A gentleman p.romin ent in pubic life was heard to remar: a few days ago that this action wa about as puerile as anything that ha come under his observation in a ion while, and he did not believe that crowd of ten-year-old school boy would have evaded and shirked the if sue as these fellows did. The peoPlE of the State had expressed themselves favorably toward creating this addi tional office and it was the duty of the members of the legislature to stick until the place was filled. A legislator who does not propose to perform his duty fully should not offer for the position. Can One Person Be Guilty of Con Spiracy. Manning Times. John Black, who was convicted at Chester, on the charge of having con spired with others to defraud the State, and sentenced to serve in the penitentiary for a period of five years, pending appy i, has had his sentence commuted to pay a fine of $2,000. We expect to see a great fuss kicked up by the newspapers about the action o+ the governor in this case, but when we take into ,.nsideration the fact that the sni e jury which convicted Black aeq'tted the parties indicted with him, On(, of wchm was a citi.,en of Chester, it had the appearance that Black was made a scape-goat of, and, convicted to gratify a certain clamor. There is no doubt the State was pil fered and punishment should have overtaken the culprits, but we never did think it fair to convict Black, and let the men go free whom it is charg ed he conspired with to swindle the State. There is one thing sure, if Black did the things he was charged and convicted of, he could not have conspired with himself, for to engage in a conspiracy it takes more than one person. The other members of the dispensary board, and a liquor agent whose home is at the place of trial, were charged along with Black, yet Black was convicted, and tRe others Icame off with a certificate of good character. Black may be as quilty as the jury said, but it is impossible for him to be guilty by himself, therefore if the other conspirators must be set free with a declaration of innocence, then the State ought not complain at having to accept a fine from the man whose misfortune was to have been selected for punishment. The Horry Court Judge. Greenville News. Whatever may be the opinion of the citizens of the State concerning Gov. Blease, it is probable that a number of people will uphold him for his ac tion in regard to the appointment of a special judge for the3 Horry couaty term of court.... In the Horry case, however, the Conway bar association has asked the appointment of C. P. Quattlebaum as special judge for that term, in place of Judge Klugh, who is ill. The su preme court recommended him. Gov. Blease refuses to commission Mr. Quattlebaum,~ on the ground that~the supreme. court should have recom mended, if possible, a regular circuit judge, then disengaged. Judge Copes, who was recently elected by the gen eral assemnbly to succeed Judge Dantz ler, has qua:lified and is ready to serve. Judge Memmninger is also disengaged. Either of these could have been .rec ommended by the supreme court, but instead they recommend a spec lal judge, at the request of the Conway bar. Whether the points at law be in favor of Gov. Blease or in favor of the supreme court, the fact stands that the appointment of a special judge for the Horry term of court, has been recommended by the supreme court when at least one regular circuit judge is disengaged. And no satisfactory reason has been given why he should not serve. Gov. B:tease and the Appropriation Bill Jasper Herald. For the firs't time in the history of the State a governor vetoed the ap propriation bill, or rather sections of it. Gov. Blease in this matter has prov ed that he is a true advocate of con sistency, abiding to the letter by his campaign promises that he would en deavor to reduce the burdens of the people. For his stra:ight out honesty, we have nothing but commendation. He has promised to do all in his pow er to help the people escape the bur dens of taxation, and this he evidently is trying to do. He furnishes a note worthy example of a man who to the 'letter will carry out his promises. We need more of such, for when a mar goes before the people of the State with a platform it has hitherto beer merely means for election. In this case it appears that his excellency not only wanted to use his platformn foi 'his election, but now is willing, is de sirous of abiding by it.
