BLEASE REVOKES MANY 1 NOTARY COMMISSIONS; ! DECLARES COMMISSIONS SHOULD EXPIRE WITH TERM. Says Constitution Provides lor Endingof Appointive Officers' Terms With Governor's Term. i Columbia. Jan. 3.?Governor Bleasc ! i has revoked the commissions as no-, 0ries public of the following: Henry J. Harc^v, pressman for the j Columbia State; Capt. Dibert Jackson, affiliated with the reportorial staff of the State; Col. August Kohn. head of j the Xews and Courier's Columbia Bureau; Alva M. Lumpkin, representa- j tive-elect from this county; A. J. j Betliea, private secretary to Governor M. F. Ansel during his term of of? j lice; David Harper Means, clerk of the; Slate sinking fund commission, and of) (Jeorg-e Powell Miller, Walter Taylor Love, William L>- Love and William i Stephen Hough, all of Columbia. Com-j uis-sions to notaries public are issued j during the governors pleasure, and, can be revoked at will. I .Noticing The revoking of commis- j sions of so many notaries public, Gov-j ernor Blease was asked this niorning why it was being done or what it1 meant, and in reply made the following statement: (Governor's Statement. I "You remember when 1 first came' iaro office 1 revoked th? commissions! Ci all notaries public, > y reasoa to;' c-oing being explained at tli? time: j fJso on the stump during rl.? recent campaign at which thsc one oi' my* opponents would yell, o\-iy day, '?re cat orf the heads of ail the notaries I>;.'l/Iic.' His protests had no effect upon the people, for they realized that J was right in the step that I had; taken. I said then, and repeat now, that under the constitution, the commissions of every appointive officer' should be made to expire with the term I of the governor who makes the appointment. I still believe that, and in carrying out that policy i have called j in the commission of.all defectives and constables working under me, Jan-' uary 1, 1913, and am revoking the commissions of many notaries public along the same line. "I would have issued a general order, but two years ago this was very much objected to, and 1 was asked not to enforce the order because it would interfere with the banking institutions and others in handling their business affairs. WII Let Some Stand. "There are -some commissions Throughout the State that J shall not revoke, and I am satisfied that there are some who will be glad that their commissions are revoked, because I have heard of them saying that they did not want to have any commission signed by Blease; that they were' ashamtd of them, but that they had to 7 J have them on account of their business affairs; therefore, as far as 1 can, I am trying to relieve them of their shame. "Furthermore, 1 do not think any man should' hold a commission under I rh State Government who openly vio-1 lated the laws of the State last year by; betting on the results of the primary j election, i know of no better way to ! srop such gambling than to carry out the law and deprive those of their com-; -mission? who were guilty of that of-j fence, as provided for under our Constitution and statute laws. Therefore,! *1 *4""- 1 r choll ! when I tiave tne posiuvf pi wi, i oiiuu r revoke commissions for this cause. I This, in short, is what it means, and I this i? all it means. Believes in Spoils System. j "I furthermore stated that no man j need apply to me for a position unless he be a Blease man; I mean that. I Avas censured for it, yet now some of the same newspapers who condemned | me so severely for my position, are! hollering 'to the victor belongs the, spoils' when it comes to the appointments to be made by the presidentelect. of the United States, Wood row; Wilson. If the 'spoils' belong to Wil-, ? wliv should not tho I SSUU iinu um i.i x# .. v?, ..... __ Blease men reap the rewards or the 'spoils' from their victory. Yet they praise Wilson for sticking to his friends, and condemn Blease for stick- ! ing to his. Truly it can be said, 'Oh! j consistency, thou art a jewel,' and I J beg to add, 'A clear-cut. diamond.' "Of course, where appointive offices \ were submitted to the primary and; elections were held by the people, the i "will of the people should and must be j carried out. unless some good cause is shown why it should not be, but when it comes to appointments in my discretion. 1 shall stick to the man who stuck i to me; because, standing by my old motto, 'Of what shall a man be proud if he is not proud of his friends.'" TOM WATSON KNOCKS - DETRACTORS OF BI i:\SK T;:?-k upon ihose whom he bclie\es 10 bo among tho detractors of Governor. ('.)]< Blease, of South Carolina. In the last issue of The Jeffersonian j he speaks of a "professional lobbyistj of Georgia," whom he says has con- J fessed that he is afraid to go to South j Carolina. He says the trial of Gov-; ernor Blease was' a "lo\y comedy" and ; reacted in favor of the governor. He next si>eaks of Governor Blease's utterances in regard to lynching and says "The God's truth is that ninety out of every hundred white men who have red blood in their veins indorse what Blease said." He then adds: "I myself would no more hesitate | to help in a lynching (for the crime specified) than I would hesitate to; shoot a niad dog. a wolf or a rattlesnake." Speaking of his trial on the chargei of sending obscene matter through the \ mails, he says.* j "It is my purpose to summon as wit-1 Ureses Cardinal Gibbons, Anthony! Comstock, Joseph Tumulty, Ex-Priest j L. C. King, Ex-Priest Soquin, Anthony Matre and those three Augusta Knights of Columbus, who published their pledge to show to the Protestant clergymen the oath which is taken byi the fourth degree members of that or-j ganization, and who then broke their j pledge. It is entirely possible that IJ will institute a counter prosecution." HAIL FIXED IN "DYNAMI .'E" CASE. I V Some 3Iay (.of Libertv Until Appeal i Disposed Of. Chicago. .Ian. o.?Bonds aggregating $1,100,000 must be given if the j thirty-two of the thirty-three labor j leaders convicted of conspiracy to transport dynamite are to take advantage of the granting of a writ of supersedeas by the United States circuit court of appeals in this city today, j Judges Baker and Seaman heard the arguments. Whether this amount can be obtain- | ed was admitted by counsel for the de-j fendants to be a matter of doubt, but | they expressed the belief that at least some of it could be procured?enough to accomplish the'liberty of President Frank M. Ryan and a few others, until decision has been reached onf'an appeal for the filing of which the court allowed sixty days. The decision involves1 only thirty-two j of the thirty-three men now in the j Leavenworth penitentiary, as Herbert S. Hockin, designated among his fel? j low prisoners as the "informer," will j onncol iiUL Bail was based on the number of i years which the prisoners have been | sentenced to serve?$10,000 for each! year. Rufus Ryan's bail was fixed at $70,-j 000. Those who received sentences of j six years must furnish $60,000; four years, $40,000, and so on down to $10,000 for one year sentences. The writ is issued largely on the point raised by the defense, that the iron workers were convicted of a continuing offence, a conspiracy to commit offences continuously. In fixing the' amount of bail the judges were impressed by the fact that the offences charged against the de? | fendants are not extraditable. For this i r-ason bail was fixed at amounts which ! the court said would make it of in- i terest to the sureties to see that the defendants do not leave the jurisdiction of the court. District Attorney Miller, of Indianapolis, who represented the govern-J ment at todya's proceedings stated! that the bonds of surety companies probably would be accepted, but that the surety must schedule in property twice the amount of the bond.

Tus-kegee, Ala., January 2.?Booker a?t [Washington, principal and founder 01 1 USKfcJgtit; UlSliiUlt', nit; laiiiuuo | school for negroes, delivered a char- | . acteristic address Sunday night in the chapel of the school to nearly 1,600 students, 200 teachers and several hundred colored citizens from the town I of Tuskegee and the Greenwood setI tlement. Much interest was attached to the address, because it was the last talk to the student body and teachers for the old year and because it I was expected that the address would : X. ^ , I j touch upon future wor.K lor leacners | and students. The address was delivered without ' I ;.otei, itenographically reported, and it was characteristic of the practical and helpful discourses Dr. Washington delivers Sunday evenings to the school. Washington's address emphasized two principles as applied to the negro; the value of organization and the necessity of obedience and discipline. Summing up his arguments and stressing the need for respect of authority, he said: / "One of the fine results, satisfactory results, following the mastery of that lesson is that in any organization, a school or what not, where people have learned that great fundamental lesson of respect for authority, obedience to j commands, there you will find order, j there you will find peace, there you i J will find absence of friction, there you M will find success. I "Now, let me reprat that one of the differences between ignorance and intelligence, between crndences and culture, consists in the fact that an individual has learned obedience, respect for authority and the other has not j learned it, and don't make the mistake |S that so many people mane, ouen euu-j I cated people make, that to obey is a ^ sign of weakness, is a sign of degradation; to obey is a sign of strength, 1 to obey is a sign of all that which in- *c dicates nobility of character. I want c you every day to get into your blood and bones and practice it in every ave- j nue of work here, the lesson that if j | you want to be useful, even great, ^ after you leave here, learn the lesson of obedience; practice it here and { through all times." ( -?2E3a, k Tlie Hipp-Seliumpert Wedding. r A pretty early-morning wedding was solemnized at S.30 o'clock on Tuesday j corning at the Church of the Redeemer when Miss Louise Hipp, daughter of Mrs. Mary .tupp, oi mis ui?, anu | Homer W.
