Jb jjpfxxM mi ffm Entered at the Postoffice of V" ow- I ferry, S. C, as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, July 23, 3912. I The Herald and News presents in full today the reply of Governor j Blease to the so-called testimony ad-| duced at the Felder hearing in Au-j -VI \ gusta. It "was a considerable lcls*. xvi The Herald and News to present it all * ? ? today, but we felt our readers were entitled to it as a matter of news, and that the governor was entitled to it as a matter of justice. ; In speaking of Governor Blease's reply to the Felder "testimony" mi / Augusta, Felder says "he (Blease) substantiates his statement by affidavits of men who have been convicted of felonies and pardoned by him and by men who are under indictment for grafting in South Carolina." One of the strongest affidavits is from Dr. w-m a p \Tnpl]f>r. of Charleston, and another is from the late Co!. Wm. G. CMlds. Felder is in the habit of being very broad in his accusations. f In a particularly venomous article in the Atlanta Georgian, under a Covi * lumbia date line, attacking Governor Blease, it is stated, among other tilings: "JL'nat is wny ue is now Lwmg Imf' * charged in South Carolina with repre* "* senting as State- senator the liquo! fe ; interests iu the dispensary graft, while > his law partner, Dominick, openly represented them as their lawyer." * We have never heard of Mr. Dominick representing any liquor interests, openly or otherwise. Nor has Mr. Dominick represented :^ny of the defendants in the "graft" trials, as they have been denominated, though there "would have been nothing wrong in his doing so. According to our recollection only two Newberry firms have J S_ J-T If. T7I Iapycareu m me&e t<wco?ixii. .cugcuc S. Blease having represented Mr. H. H. Evans in the Newberry case, where the State enterd a nol pros., and in the Columbia case, where the jury returned a verdict of not guilty; and, unless tsta 9TO mictaVpn IfASsrs .TrVhrictrvna Cromer were of counsel for the defence in the "label" case in Columbia. We believe, too, it was stated that Mr. Johnstone did appear at the Felder hearing in Atlanta, when Felder was fighting requisition. ? Mrs. Elizabeth Spence Young. A few days ago there passed to the spirit land one who for many, many years has lived in and around Prosperity?ono who watched it grow from a house or t|Wo into a town whose success brought about its name.

She believed with the poet that there's so much enod in the "worst of us that it behooves the rest of us to see this spark of celes- ] tial fire and fan it, and in every way encourage it to burn more brightly, gl It seems almost useless to say more v concerning the sweet character of Mrs Young, for when one has attained to 6uch heights as to be able to see pearls hidden beneath unprepossessing exfprinrc mavhp it io nafjnt thot Ann io v VI - - VV,J * V -kfcj W*iUV \JJLL\s 1%J marching easily up the King's Highway, scattering seeds of kindness in the hearts of fellow-wavfarers that will spring up and make more beautiful this same road for those who follow. Mrs. Young was the one remaining 1inV of the SnencA family Shp i? enr. vived by one niece and one' nephew and numerous grand-nieces and grandnephews, to whom she has always been like a mother?a 6ure defense and refuge. At all ,imes they felt that she was there, as calm, as certain, and as restful as the everlasting I hills. ready with loving words or kind ly assistance. Her going away will make a difference and those who are still groping 011 this side the veil, even in their blindness, can sep her saintly face shining through the luminous ether that divides her from them, and guess at the secret that has brought her peace after so many long I months of suffering.

TVheil the ruggedness of the grief has taken on softer lines, her gentleness and her faith and love stand out in even clearer relief against the sombre veil which separates her from us. The flowers which sprang beautiful and eternal from seed which were, kindly deeds of unselfishness tnark the earthly pathway which she trod, and from them, to us and to others, their fragr-o -n i-r.

Her life was a benediction, under which it is our prayer that we may be made worthy to walk to the end of the journey. : ' J- K- A. thus made will be felt not only at home, but also in the Baptist church, of which she was a member, in the wide circle of friends, and by the children with whom she came into contact, and many old darkies to whom she was in the habit of dispensing ante-bellum generosity. E. K. iieaio 01 tora .Lee rainier. Death at all times and under all circumstances is sad. It ?s sad for an old man or woman, who has lived out his or her three score years, to die. It is sad for an innocent little babe that has just lived long enough to gain the fond affection of its mother, to die. But when a sweet, gentle life like Cora Lee Palmer's is called into the great eternity, surrounded as she was by a host of admiring friends, it is doublv sad. They admired her for her own true self, admired her for her lovely form and beautiful face, admired her for her happy disposition and cheerful words of encouragement to her companions, and the writer of this sketch loved her because of her true and faithful services to Cateechee council, of which she was a faithful member, and her untiring energy in the discharge of her duty to her society. On one occasion just two years ago, when the writer lay sick with fever during the burning sun of August, Cora Lee Palmer, in company with her true friend, lizzie Clamp, walked all the way to my house and brought me a sweet little bunch of pretty flowers. The precious little token was appreciated then more than I am able to put on this paper, and really the cause of this short sketch. I have often told her of my appreciation of her visit to me then, and now that she is called into the great beyond I want her people to know that I still fondly cherish her memory. She was gentle, kind, beautiful and true. What more could she be? Her friend, J. R. Chappell.
