- Why have Col. Folder and Gov.
Bleaso kept those letters from thejoi
public so long? P
We hope the oomedy being playc; j it
in Columbia is not us humorous to
those without the State as it is!
humiliating to those wlhtin. i fj
It must be admitted that Gov. j
Blease played a very shrewd piece of)a]
politics when he asked for a dis- i
pensary investigation, dismiss r
the old commission and then ap-|tl
pointed a commission friendly to the;
administration.

If council will adopt an ordinance h
requiring dealers in meats and vegetables
to screen the doors and win- ^
dows to their market places the. !
will de the community a great st j(
vice. Every market place should be
fly-proof and the police force should
be instructed to see that meat and ^
vegetable dealers in the city com- \
ply with the ordinace. It has 11)

If we intend to ha\e thav County
Fair next fall now is the time to "
make a beginning. It will be an jf|
easy matter to convert the race. fc
track into an excellent fair ground te
by erecting a few buildings iu which 1 JJ!
to display the exhibits. Arrangements
can be made to secure several
first class attractions and we
believe the farmers of the county ^
will respond liberally - ith the exhibits.
County fairs are becoming iU
very popular over the State. Sev- at
eral counties are making arrange- 1,1
" ments to hold fairs this year and ...
O
^ we want to see billon fall in line. i)t
_ In addition to the social feature, St
there is nothing more helpful to te
Jl 1
the farmer than to meet his fellow-'v.
farmers once a year and exchange
ideas on the different methods of w
growing crops. Now is the time to ai
make a beginning, if it is our purpose
to have a county fair this' w
fall.

When the State Board of Kduca-|gi
tion meets in Columbia next month b]
to renew the contracts for handling i ^
I
text books they should make some. t
changes in the present system. The j(
system now in use is altogether (i
Impracticable. Dealers are com pell- ; ^
ed to handle books on a 10 per cent.
commission basis and it is needless n
to say that the dealer finds the i S
school l>ook business unprofitable.
The State depository receives ten (.
i.*S. per cent, on all books sold by the e'
county depositories aud the margin li
of profit is not large enough to P
pay the expenses of handling the ^
books. The State depository should n
be abolished and county depositor- s<
ies should be allowed to order,Cl
books direct from the publishers. "
if some change is not made in the
present system that will give the
retail depositor'es an opportunity
to make a reasonable profit on the ^
books it will be a hard matter tn
find responsible dealers to handle
, ijj the books next season. U

tee you had several caucuses with day
your criminal associates whom you ion
were under obligation to protect, ter
when and where a conspiracy was full
hatched to thwart the efforts mak- his

To Control the Ilencli? Hie
?u) Did you not agree that no g
special judge should be anointed j p
to preside over any of the courts of j '+
the State where the grafters were \ q
under indictment except of your own Tht
selection; that you could afford to eon
lUftt; UU l UiUJLU Ul ^citing anvvu^i Jl S

ione who presided in Chester? ! Moi
(b) Did you not agree in these ree<
caucuses to pardon any citizen of Bpei
South Carolina who might be con- app
victed under pending or future iu-jer
dictnients, and that you would issue ! mai
i no requisition for foreigners? j Sta
(c) That you would dismiss the tha
; winding-up commission so that they 1
could not, under authority reposed juir
! in that body by the act creating it,! Wy
continue their investigations, and Moi
j in dismissing these commissioners his
were you not influenced by the sai?
further consideration that they had
: issued a subpoena for one of your! G?
political lieutenants; that he had pie;
ignored the same and they had iB- En
sued a rule ni6i requiring him to the
ishow cause why he should not be tak
attached for contempt? not
"In these several caucuses, when ']
the difficulty in obtaining the ap- Mr.
1 proval of the prison commission of que
your State to the course to be pur- En
sued was under discussion, did you
not advise your confederates that
you had at hand the means for overcoming
this difficulty, to-wit: ig- Nei
noring the prison commission? j I
On Hoi-seback. c
(e) Did you or any of those who j .
were in caucus with you, suggest; ,
that on the theory that "the end j
justified the means," in effectuat!
ing the object of this conspiracy,1.
I you could with safety resort to
i any means, from character assina-j y>r
tion to personal assassination; that, j,11
I after so long a time you "had the ! .
i whip handle," or "were in the sad- e"
j die," or some phrase of similar or |
substantial import? I 1
7. What compensation did you ^
; receive from the liquor dealers and Ben
what "rake-off" did you get from j
i the dispensary officials when you _ nr
were "senator at law?"
The Ciunpuign Fund. : 1
8. While perhaps not so peni- wjj
. nent I consider the following rele|
vant: What campaign fund did you ton
have at your command when you ?
wore a candidate for governor? How J.011
much was raised before the first ja,
primary and how much between the ! jef,
first and second primaries? What jef,
liquor houses or dealers, corporations
or gents of,coraporations. If
you should answer (which I do not
think you will, because it is the
! truth) that very large stuns of money
were raised, kindly state whether
or not it was used to debatlclii^B
the electorate of your state. BJ
In conclusion: In oonclusion the II
State of Georgia recently by paying I
I her an official visit. What e.\-dis- I
pensary officials and liquor dealers II
[entertained you in the city of At- I
lanta and in the city of Augusta? I
What conferences, if any, did you |||
have with them with reference to I
you.- future official conduct?
Lastly, why don't you approve l||
' that joint resolution that you de- III
uanded? 1 understand that you |||
say 1 hat the senators appointed 011 III
the part of the senate as members of II

COURT COMMON PLEAS.
Four Cases Dlspowd of Last Week.
Court Making I tetter Progress1
This Week.
Very little progress was made in
the court of common pleas last week
i on account of the hearing of sever-!
al big cases in which a great deal
of time was consumed in taking j
testimony. The most important
cases disposed of were those of W. |
T. Bet lieu and J. B. Gibson as executors
of the estate of Hugh l'rlce
urn. ij i ?. ?- -- -?
uuu ii in. laiucr HgniiiBi me liiiiCKwell
Co. and Benton llaselden, and
the ease of Mary A. Graham against
the Mutual Mfe Insuranee Co., of
Newark, *N. J. In both of these
cases the jury found for the plaintiffs.
In the latter ease tho plaintiff
was sueing for the payment of i
'a $5,000 life insurance policy which i
the company held up, alleging'
fraud in that the insured has misrepresented
his physical condition
when he made application for in- j
surance. Graham died shortly after (
receiving his policy, but the jury
held that in as much as the company
had accepted tho premiums am
were cognizant of Graham's physi-1
cal condition when the policy was is-;
sued that the plaintiff's claim was |
|j was valid and she was awarded a
verdict for $5,530.48.
Several cases of minor importance |
: were tried this week. There are J
about 50 caseB on the rooster, many
of which will be carried over to the i
special term to be held in July.
