STATEMENT FROM MR. BL.EASE.
<iovernor-Elect Explain* C-onnection
With Act Creating Jockey nub.
Newberry, Nov. 19.?Special: The
Associated Press dispatch of Friday,
to the effect that turfmen in New
Orleans were anticipating the opening
of a race track In Charleston .as
a result of the approaching administration
of Governor Please, and
the dispatch from Charleston to the
PtfPP^ thai a **?? **
...v % ???. u iavv ti av.n w<va vuutemplated,
though the forthcoming
Blease administration was not in
any manner, so far as was known,
connected with the matter, was the
subject of an interview which was
requested of Governor-elect Blease
to-night.
It so happened that when the bill
to incorporate the South Carolina
Jockey Club, of Charleston, was
passed. Mr. Blease was a member
of the State Senate and that he
proposed an amendment to the bill,
which provided that no hetting
should be allowed. Upon disagreement
of the two houses of the legislature
the bill went to conference
and the amendment was killed.
Governor-elect Blease said: "The
first news I had of the matter at all
was when Mr. Horton, of the Columbia
Daily Record called me up over
the 'phone yesterday, directing my
attention to the Associated Press
dispatch in question, to the effect
ihat with the advent of the administration
in January preparations
would be made for the opening of a
big race meet in this State. I said
to Mr. Horton: 'I have never heard
a word about it and don't know
what it means. Nobody has ever
discussed the matter with me, and
the information is absolutely news
to me. i don't know where they
could have sot it. 1 have not seen
nor talked with a race horse man
in some years, although 1 love a
good race."
"After thinking over the matter,
1 recalled that while I was a member
of the Senate in 19o? Mr. Cosgrove,
a member of the House from
Charleston, introduced a bill in the
House, No. 171, to incorporate the
South Carolina Jockey Club, which
will be found ais finally incorporated
into a law on page 820, Volume 25,
Statutes of South Carolina.
"When this bill came from the
House to the Senate I moved to
amend the bill by adding to Section
4 the following proviso: 'Provided,
. that the said club shall not permit
any betting on the said races.' This
amendment was adopted, and there
being no further amendments, the
bill was given its third reading and
ordered returned to the House, as
will be seen by reference to Senate
Journal, 1907, page 585. The House
lefused to agree to the amendment
and a conference committee was appointed.
Their report will be found
in the same Journal, page 629, In
n-liir.1. Kov w,,1 # I. ? CJ??
" ??*vn I.MVJ ICVUU1UIC1IU UKU II1C or"ate
recede from the amendment to
Section 4, which was my amendment.
It seems that this report was
adopted by both houses and the bill
was ratified on the 16th of February.
as shown on page 717 of the
said Senate Journal, and is now an
Act, the bill having been approved
by the Governor on the 20th of February,
1907.
"This is the record, and shows
my position in the matter. Further
than this 1 have had nothing to do
vs ith any matter concerning any
proposed race meet in this State,
eithei directly or indirectly."
A Drunkard's Dream.
(Contributed.)
Almost in sight of the eternal world
! paused to make survey.
While shrieks and curses were at
me hurled,
And demons thronged the way.
In flames of fire I saw my doom.
All hope forever gone.
No mortal eye could pierce the
gloom.
Though Satan beckoned on.
An awful lake, all red with blood
Lay beyond the gates of hell.
And men were sinking beneath the
flood,
In countless numbers no tongue
* cau tell.
Oh! the horrors of the night,
/i?> I lingered at the verge of
death,
Where every prospect ends in blight,
And pain eternal is not a breath,
Though Satan's gates were left ajar.
For me to enter in,
A warning voice yet from afar,
Calls me off the haunts of sin.
No longer by Satan s smiles beguiled
His rugged paths to roam,
The hand that followed through the
wilds
Will gently and kindly lead me
home.'
With faltering steps 1 turned away.
Amid the scenes of black despair,
And in the dawn of a brighter day.
I lingered no longer there.
To the hills of refuge I made haste,
My wandering feet to rest,
Though I stumble in the race,
I hope to reach the highest crest.
The terrible warning I shall heed,
Though coming in a dream,
A life of vice no longer lead,
This side death's cold, chilly
Stream. ?S.

THK SKTTLKMKXT OF HORRY
A Brief and Interesting History
of thr I'lonww of the "Independent
Republic."
(Mrs. F. H. Hyatt in Colubia
iState. >
While South Caorlina was under
the royal government, during the
administration of Gov. Robert Johnson,
in 1732, vigorous measures
were adopted for the more speedy
settlement of the province.
You remember that just previous
to this time the territory of South
Carolina had been curtailed and
that it was not only territory that
she lost, hut the population v as
i greatly reduced also; and the pop
ma won was now confined almost
entirely to the seacoast.
Now, Gov. Johnson was directed
i to make out 11 townships in square
i plants on the sides of the rivers,
each consisting of 20,000 acres, and
to divide the lands within them into
shares of 50 acres for each man,
woman and child that should come
over to improve them. Each township
was to form a parish, and all
the inhabitants river. So soon as
the parish increased to the size of
100 families it was to have the
right to send two members of their
own election of the assembly, and to
enjoy the same privileges as the
other parishes already established.
Each settler was to pay four shillings
(24 cents) a year for every
hundred acres of land, excepting
the first ten years, during which
they were to have the land rent
i free. Eleven townships were marked
out?two on the river Altamaha,
two on the Savannah, two on the
Santee. two on the l'ee Dee. one
on the Waccamaw, one on the

After these townships were laid 7
out great inducements were offered 1
to settlers, and the population be- 1"
gaii to flow into the up-country. 1
Ihere were many immigrants from n
Germany, Holland, Switzerland,? 1
Ireland, Scotland and Wales. ii
The township that was laid out
on the Waceamaw was called King- g
ston. It derived its name from the is
man who first settled t lie re. t<
In 1801 the territory was organ- a
ized into the county of Horry, so N
named in honor of Gen. Peter Hor- c
ry, who distinguished himself in o
the Revolutionary war and was a v
brigadier general under Gen Fran- $
cis Marion. fi
Thus we find that Horry, which
forms the northeast cornor of the n
State and fronts on the ocean, and o
Is the fifth county in size in South w
Carolina, was, in the original di- L

Kingston, or Conwaybomugh, is o<
the seat of justice of the district, p

about 100 inhabitants. The village
