BLEASE SPEAKS TO A BIG ANDERSON CROWD SCORES THE LIQUOR PROBERS A>D LEGISLATORS. Many Different Matters DiscussedPays Respects to Senator Sullivan and Representative Carey. A?iHarv;nn. Anri> 13.?A thousand voters of Anderson county heard Governor Blease here this afternoon, when he severely arraigned the members of the commission to investigate the Ansel dispensary board and criticised the j legislature, paying particular respects to Senator Sullivan and members of; the lower house from this county. Afr^r mt invocation, made by the J Rev. W. T. Myers, of Pelzer, the gov- j ernor began by saying that the legis- ! lature appropriated half a million dol- j lars more than they arranged to col-! lect. He told of savings h? had made | to the State; of turning back more! . than $5,000 of the governor's contingent fund; that the revocation of commissions for notaries public not only put out of office a great many incompetent white men and negroes, but brought $6,000 in the treasury; of his vetoes of the 1911 general assembly whereby taxpayers were saved $86,000. He said he saved the people more than $100,000 during- 1911. He said that when the 1912 general assembly met organization was perfected, the object being to defeat his reelection, and the result was that not one law was passed which will benefit all the people of South Carolina. He said F. M. Carv, a member of the Oconee county delegation, stated on the floor of the house that all he wanted to know about a measure was whether it had the approval of the governor and if it did he was against it. n'Hio'a'Bo sairl he has stood vjru v ci ? for impartial government for all the people; that some people did not like I him because he would not submit to j being bossed. He has been governor I for two years and w ill be for the next two, he said. He explained his side of the controversy over the appointment of special judges, claiming his motive in refus-1 ing to commission :scme other personI when a circuit judge was aiseagciseu , was to save expenses. Anderson coun- ; tv has just had a special term of court! and a judge was found disengaged, so that the county was saved more than $150, he said. \ The governor favors building up the : schools, but is unalterably opposed to j the taxes of the white people going to negroes. He read from a pamphlet of \ Prof. W. K. Tate, in which it was stat-1 ed that 193,400 negroes are going to "* Aft j A OO < /v r<r?a>-v4. r\' SChOOI 3.11 Q. IS uciug s^cni i their education. Prof. Tate stated that j when he enters school rooms he often j thinks that the State is wasting too j much money on negroes. Governor Elease said the editor of I the Columbia State is doing more ' harm among the negroes than education is doing. "When white men rise j to the defence of the women he makes the fcegro brute out a hero a::d calls ; white men murderers,' saia me guve.<nor, who declared such eiidorsemiit i "encourages negroes in their devil- j ment, when the editor writes such an j article he is just as bad as the negro."j "As for me, if the commission of the governor's office stands between me and the protection of the women of our State, I will tear up my commission and go to their defence," he said. He next referred to the Rucker bill to regulate negro secret societies. Hedeclared these were responsible for the bilimor r?f "Rrvson in Laurens county, and the burning of three houses at Olar, which resulted in the lynching of three negroes. The governor wants to know what Winthrop college is going to do with j the $242,000 it is going to get this year, j $90,000 of which comes from the Pea- j body board. He said he is a friend of! Winthrop. but he thinks rural schools,; which exist only for four or fivej months, with a scarcity of teachers, are more in need of money. The governor then rapped the legis- 1 latuYe, saying everything was done to j humiliate him and defeat his reelec- i TVioivcv was cnmp talk of thj? leST- i lll/il. X UOi\, WV?*V ^ w islature impeaching him, said the gov- { ernor, but it wasn't attempted because j the body was composed of "a set of! cowardly liars, who were afraid." The governor declared that the general assembly is being led by two j North Carolinians; that one of these j i has been made independently rich off; fees received from "graft" cases. He; ? " 1 - ~ "11 niinnla r\f this I Sclid lit* (J.\ ivj ici. ^ . v man's count)* (Chesterfield, referring: to Mr. Stevenson,) just what sort of I man they are sending there. "If peopU- would send down a general assembly composed of Josh Ash leys we would have one worth having." Some people criticised him for refusing to appoint officers recommended by the senate, he said. "Of course, I did. Have you ever heard of the Lord's ** i ?:io T ~-:ii Kissing tne nana 01 me aevu: i ?ui not appoint an enemy of mine to pubi lie office." Governor Blease paid his respects to Senator Sullivan, who he said did not 1 "* 1 - /n1 VxAAnufiA ? /"I ftfzi O + UKe mm t.Uieabe; uaauac ne his nephew (Featherstone) for the governorship. Sullivan wanted his nephew to be elected so ho could go down and occupy th^ bridal chamber and be ''Boss Sullivan." He said Senator Sullivan is one of the commission investigating the graft charges and with all the other members were enemies of the governor. He ridiculed the procedure of the investigation, stating that the men under investigation were the first to take the witness stand. When a man is being tried the States makes its case before the defendant is called, said the governor. Men composing the commission hate me worse than the devil hates holy water. There is Senator Carlisle, from Spartanburg, who has been going around making dirty attacks upon me; i Senator Sullivan, from this county, | who has been quoted as saying that if ! lie and the governor were in hell toI i gether and lie was handling the shovel in throwing coal, he would refuse to throw coal on the governor. Then there is Cary, from Oconee, who stated on the floor of the house all he wanted to know about a measure was whether I was for or against it, and he would vote just the opposite way. There is a little fellow Evans, who hails from Marlboro county. He got mad because I wouldn't call special session of the legislature to deal with ; the cotton question. I "Now, ain't that a pretty set of nothings." And they tried to make me come before them to testify. I didn't do it, and, by the eternal gods, I'm not going to. "Where is Tom Felder? If they will g^t Felder back in South Carolina and give meil2 men, whether Bleaseites or not, in any county in the State, I'll furnish the evidence showing that he attempted to bribe an officer of the State. If I don't furnish evidence to convict him, I'll agree now to resign and go to the Philippines." Referring to the last legislature, Governor Blease said if he sent a message to the general assembly saying, "Jesus is our Saviour, and the Ten Commandments composed the original law." they would say: "No, there is a mistake." He charged the legislature with ereJ - ? f atmg unnecesary omctrs iui n icuud and he vetoed the appropriations, but his veto was overridden. He didn't care whether his vetoes were overridden or not; he was elected to office to represent the people, to hold down expenses, aud when he vetoed a measure he was fulfilling his duty. He said some are claiming taxes will be lower, but they will be higher. Governor Blease then turned to the newspapers, saying they are heralding it over the State "Blease is losing ground." Newspapers publish big, long stories about his opponent, of tremendous crowds hearing him, of ovaritis, when, in fact, his opponent if bex:;t' heard in school rooms by thirty-five or forty men, some women and children, 1 1 1^.1 u: ana some nave uuwieu mm uuwn, sum the governor. He has information that leads him to believe he will be re-elected. If he doesn't carry Union and Spartanburg counties, he said he will present John Ashley with a Prince Albert coat and a beaver hat. He declared his enemies are resorting to all sorts of tricks to defeat him, saying in Fort MiH a banker was quoted as saying he held his baby out of the window, threatening to drop it if his wife wouldn't give him some money with which he wanted to go off on a frolic. "Just to show you how absurd that is," said the governor, "I'll state that I haven't got any children that I know of." The governor said he had been asked to pardon a white man sent up for 18 months for fighting; he had served 14 months and his wife and children were needing him for a support. He took a hand primary of the crowd and* the yells were for him to give the man a pardon, and the speaker said that man will come into Anderson Tuesday. He was loudly cheered, the crowd showing tney are supporters 01 me guvemur. Governor Blease spoke at the Anderson cotton mills tonight and this afternoon at Belton. QC KEN OF OCEAN MAY BE SINKING Liner Titanic Reported to Have Struck IecJicnr,?Is . Largest Vessel \ ilnat. I Cai: > Race, X. J., April 13.?At 10.2" hast night the steamship Titanic called "C. Q. D." is reported having struck | an iceberg. The steamer said also i that assistance was required and half an hour after reported that they were sinking by the head and that women were being put off in the life boats. The weather was calm and clear, the Titanic's wireless operator reported, and gave the position of the vessel 41.46 north latitude and o0.14 west longitude. The Marconi station at Cape Race ; found the Allan Virginian, the captain | of which advised that he was proceeding to the scene of the disaster. The Virginian at midnight was about 170 miles distant from the Titanic and i expected to reach that vessel about 10 j a. m. The last signals from the Titanic I ! were heard by the Virginian at 12.17 a. i m. The wireless operator on the Yir| ginian says these signals were blurred and ended abruptly.
