I have in my possession copy of the
testimony taken before the dispensary
imroftio-otinrr /inmmi'Hoa TToTirnorir 19 !
ixx v v,v;iuum,Luv, x uai J IU,
1908.
Mr. E. A. Smyth being duly sworn,
and being examined by Mr. Stevenson,
testified, in speaking of Samuel Lanhan:
I had known Mr. Lanahan for some
years.
Q. You were associated with him in
what matters?
A. None at all.
Q. You didn't hear him say who
was the agent who he retained at a
salary of $2,000 a year?
A. No, sir; he didn't mention his
name.
He continued his conversation with
Mr. Parker along the same lines, but
,
ne aid not mention tne name. He was
trying to. get Mr. Parker to suggest
some one who would influence the
business. He did not mention the j
name.
At the bottom of this is the following
certificate:
"I certify that the ;ibo?e is a true
copy of the testimony submitted to
the commission and introduced in the
case above mentioned.
(Signed) "F. F. Covington."
This shows thatvParker lied, because
Smythe here testified that he heard j
tne conversation between JLananan and
Parker and that Lanaban did not i
i
mention the name of the agent. Par- j
ker swears that he did. Who is the j
liar, Smythe and Lanahan or Parker?
In addition to this, I herewith submit
copies of original affidavits which
were submitted to the senate of South
Carolina in 1905, in refutation of this
der's statement. Goodman, like Fel- .
der, is a fugitive from the justice of
the State of South Carolina, and I
therefore am not in a position to offer
you any affidavit from him. - It may be
that Felder can get one when these
two fugitives shall meet again.
State of South Carolina?County of
infamous falsehood; ami, in addition |
thereto, the following affidavit from
the late William G. Childs, president of
the Bank of Columbia.
Felder and Goodiran.
T'eiaer alleges tnai wane I was a
member of the State senate, certain .
liquor dealers paid me $250 for fighting
legislation providing for certain
dispensary matters. Among his witnesses
to prove this allegation he
names Morton A. Goodman and J. S. .
Farnum. .You will see by the affidavit
of Mr. Farnum which I append hereto
that he denies any knowledge of Fel
Charleston.
Personally comes before me James |
S. Farnum, who, being duly sworn,
says that he has read the following
in the Columbia State newspaper of
July 13, 1912.
'"Tn this connection I clesin-'to state
that when Cole. L. Blease was senator
from Xewberrv and a bill vas introduced
to appropriate $15,000 to be
used by the attorney general of the
State in conducting the prosecution
against the grafters, that the liquor
dealers employed the said JBlease, then
a senator, to oppose the passage of
said measure; and, as a matter of fact, i
the said Blease did oppose by speech, j
vote and influence the passage of said
resolution, and that he received for his
services the sum of $250, in . cash,
which was paid to him at Wright's
hotel in the city of Columbia, State of
South Carolina," and that I had knowledge
of said transaction.
The statement that deponent has
knowledge of any such transaction is
false.
That deponent has heretofore made
affidavit" replying to charges made by
this same Felder, and in this affidavit
he desires to, and does reiterate, the
statements made in the former affidavit,
and further avers that he has |
never, ai any ume, given ur t-uuni-uuied
any amounts "towards buying votes
in Charleston for Blease" or any other
person or persons.

Blocking the Investigating Committee.
Another absurd effort to do me injustice
is the charge, made without any
attempt at proof, that I obstructed
the proceedings of the legislative comwiit
+ aa inroctiorotinBr +V>o rlicnon. I
Uiiticc in t i/iiv totutc
sary. This charge is not only a reflection
on me, but it reiects upon the
other members of that committee,
some of whom are not friendly to me.
As a matter of fact, I was the author
of the resolution which provided for
that investigation. The record of my
services as a member of that committee,
and the report made to the general
assembly, will show that there is
absolutely no truth in Felder's state
ment relative thereto. This matter is
repetition, and I disposed of it irr my
first race for governor six years ago.
"Statement of Charlton Wright."
The statement is made by Felder i
:
that Charlton Wright stated in the city I
of Columbia that he handed me, in the i
ante-room of the senate chamber, a j
check for S500 as comnensation for I
my services in defeating a bill affecting
the interests of the railroads.
I have' never, at any time, received
any sum from Charlton Wright or
any other man for services rendered
any individual or corporation as a
members of the general assembly. The
same issue of the paper in which this
charge of Felder appeared, the Columbia
State of July 13, 1912, carries
a denial from Mr. Wright, in these
words:
"Denies bribery Charge.
"R. Charlton Wrigh:, of Columbia,
who is quoted in the documentary evidence
submitted by T. B. Frider to
the dispensary investigating committee
as saying that he gave Sf.OO to Cole, j
L. Blease, for blocking some railroad j
legislation in the senate, denied last j
night .that he had ever given Blease j
this or any other sum that he had
ever told any one that he had done
so."
Mr. Wright, on account of an urgent
call to New York, left the city that
day; however, I presume the committee
will not care to have any further
statement from Mr. Wright since he is
so prominently connected with the Columbia
Record, one of the newspaper
combination opposing me, and as his
denial appeared so eonspicously in
that sHeet which the committee is so
fond of reading.
The $25,000 Slush Fund.
The insinuation contained in a purported
copy of a letter of one Pickett
to Felder, which it is stated that Felder
produced before the committee,
that certain liquor dealers were to
xU _ i? AAA X ~ t_ x t
raise uie sum 01 3^0,uvj uj ue turned
over to me as a member of the State
senate, and that a syndicate, to be
composed of myself and Mr. Block
and others, was to be formed to control
the entire liquor ftusiness of the
State dispensary, is an entire fabrication.
Those who have read this letter
n Afn tV> q fan*- fVi ~ n1lA/?nJ
uuig iCtV/U '-iliu IUC aucgtru
original has not been placed before
the committee and that even in the
alleged copy Pickett does not make
these statements of his own knowledge,
but states that they were*made to
him by another party, and no affidavit
has been taken from that other party.
I submit herewith the affidavit of Mr.
Block, denying tnat there is any truth
in the statements credited by Pickett
to Wilson.
Georgia, Bibb County:
Before me, an officer duly authorized
to administer oaths, personally
came N. M. Block, who being first
uuiy sworn on oatn, says tnat ne nas
read in the State, a paper published
in Columbia, S. C., under date of July
loth, 1912, the report of what purports
to be a letter"to T. B. Felder,
Atlanta, Georgia, and signed by Smith
D. Pickett, in which the statement Is i
. . i
niaae "Wilson further stated that the
plan formulated by Blease to compass
a defeat of pending legislation
miscarried for the reason that Nick
Block, of Macon, who was one of the
syndicate, stated that thu amount proposed
to be raised was out of all reason
and that the same results could
be accomplished upon the expenditure
of the sum of $25,000." >
Deponent says that the remarks attributed
to him are entirely without
any foundation in fact. That he never
used such language nor language of
that import, nor any language that
could be so construed, and further that
tie never had any conversation wiin i
i
Wilson on the subject and that he has
never either directly or indirectly been
advised or had any knowledge of the
effort or the attempted effort to raise
$25,000 or any other amount for the
purposes stated in said letter from
Smith D. Pickett to T. B. Fclder. Deponent
is entirely ienorant of all the
allegations set out in said letter.

My Campaign Fund in 1910.
The susrsresticm that the bHnd timers
of Charleston subscribed to my campaign
fund for governor two years ago
is not original with Welder He is
simply repeating what a few unscrupulous
enemies of mine have stated
heretofore. I presume that if .these
alleged blind tigers had subscribed to
the national Democratic campaign
iund or to tne campaign iund or Ira
B. Jones, that their action would bo
considered patriotic and the names of
such subscribers would be published
at the head of the list la the Columbia
State. It is a fact, however, that I
have not, at any time, received from
a bHnd tiger in Charleston a single
penny for campaign purposes. Two
years ago my campaign was managed
by my brother, Eugene S. Blease, and
my law partner, Fred H. Dominick. I j
submit affidavits of these gentlemen,
to the effect that they never received
for me, or for my campaign, the sum
charged by Felder as having been subscribed
by parties set out by him.

Personally comes before me Fred.
H. Dominick and makes oath that during
the vear 1910 was ronripntpd
with the management of Gov. Cole, L.
Blease's campaign; and as to the
charges that any amounts were contributed
by the alleged blind tigers of
Charleston and used in ihe furtherance
of Mr. Blease's. candidacy, this depon
ent nas no Knowledge whatsoever;
that he has never received one cent
from any blind tiger as contributions
to Mr. Blease's campaign, and that if
such a fund was contributed, he bas
never received same and never used
same nor has he any knowledge of it?
the first intimation he having had of
this charge being the charges as made
by Thomas B. Felder.
As to the charge of his having gone
to Charleston between the first and
second primaries, after Gov. Blease
had already been there and got a suit
case full of money, and whea that ran
out, that I went there and got another
suit case full, the chaige is absolutely
false. I have never received
and never made any requests for any
campaign contributions from any blind
ugers in unariesion.

Trip to Charleston.
The statement of Folder that I
went to Charleston for the purpose
of setting money during the time in
tervening between the first and second
primaries of the campaign two
years ago, is but another example
of this man's quickness to make statements
without even reflecting. During
the whole of the two weeks between
the two elections, with the

spent in the city of Columbia, I re- \

''Grace's Insinuations"
As to he statement that I have
been and am getting graft from the
blind tigers of Charleston as immun
ity ior projection exiviiu<_d il.em.
i
This originated with John P. Grace,
the present mayor of Charleston, on !
account of my not allowing him to ;

This bill, as passed by the legisla- ture,
provided for the building of an 1

points in this State. I thought it i
contained too mucn power to give ioj(
a corporation, and, after carefully ,
looking over it, stated that I did not
think I would sign it. I received re-v.
