GETS VERY HOT. | Senator Blease Answers the Tes- ! timony of Mr. Lewis Parker. NO LANAHAN AGENT. Submits Affidavit From One of the Finn and From Members of Board of Control?Says There Is a Conspiracy Against Him by the Gov* ernor and Mr. Patton and Some rv One day last week Senator Dlease of Newberry, arose In the State Senate to a question of "personal privilege" and made some remarks regarding the testimony given before the state dispensary commission by Messrs. Lewis Parker and E. A. Smytho to the effect that he had been employed by Lanahan & Son to represent them before the former board of directors of the state dispensary. He said: I wish to ask the Senate to allow to be published In the Journal five affidavits which I hold. "Just before the campaign of 1906, Mr. President, the report was circulated that one in the employ of the State was an agent for. a liquor house. I had not any Idea In the world, sir, that that meant me, and I never thought so until Senator Tillman. riding on u railroad train one day, was asked the positive question as to who he referred to and he said to this gentleman, whom I suppose ho thought was a very intimate friend of his and not a friend of mine, that Blease was the man whom he meant. "I Immediately sat down and wrote to the different gentlemen and asked If It was true, and if It wasn't true to send me an affidavit. 1 read those affidavits at Union at the carnpulgn meeting two years ago. 1 nut V. ? I * %, mmv c* UV7 u V LUU upruillK U i L11 lb campaign, this year, Just after I had something to say about Mr. Avery Patton, along with this winding up commission, again this matter is brought up. The governor is fron Greenville, Mr. Avery Patton, of the winding-up commission, Is from Greenville, both of the witnesses arc from Greenville, the correspondent of the News and Courier is from Greenville. Right at the opening of this campaign of 1908 hero comes the governor with his?I want to bo mild and I want to be polite?his witnesses aud his appointee Patton of the winding-up commission, all from Greenville? "And in addition to that a newspaper correspondent from Greenville and if it ain't n political conspiracy 1 have never seen one?a newspapei reporter from Greenville county making his report come out, headed 'Bleas-e Hired by Liquor Houses. They put a question mark after that, and It is well that they did. "Now. Mr. President, I want tr thank the Columbia State once in my life for being fair, honest and straightforward in this transaction; not only the correspondent in thischamber, but the man who is in charge of that ofllce. with the wnv It la put In the paper thl9 morning: 'Blease la Alleged to Have Been the Man.' "I am not afraid of this matter. Mr. President, because I have nevei represented any whiskey house In m\ life In the capacity of a sales agent and the people of South Carolina after this thing was circulated ami when I had hardly time to answer It gave me nearly 18,000 votes for governor; and this summer Gov. An the conspiracy between him and hh sel will answer to those people for Greenville allies and newspaper cor respondent. He will not only an swer politically, but he will also answer to me as a man, face to face be ho governor or be he what hi may." Senator Blease hero read an affi davit from Sam J. Lanahan saying that he never told Lewis W. Parkei or any other person that Cole L Blease was in his employ to lool< after his Interest In the whiskey busl ness In South Carolina; and as a matter of fact he did not have Cole L. Blease so employed. "Now, Mr. President, this affidavit was published In the summer o' 1806. Lanahan was then living and Parker did not deny It, or attempt ti have Lanahan retract it. Now Lanahan Is dead and can not spenk; and the Greenville witness shows up Why? Becauso I hit Greenville's Pat ton and am a candidate for governoi against Greenville's Ansel. Yes, sir. that Is my belief as to the reason If a man, Mr. President, says?11 my good friend, the senator from Richland says?that the senator from Bamberg told him thus and so, and If I go to tho senator from Bamberg and he says that the senator fron Ulchland is a liar, what more can 1 do? Tho fight Is between them Equally so the fight in this case it between Lanahan nnd Parker; and why did Parker wait until Lanahan was dead? 1 do not say that Parkei is a liar, but Lanahan says that Par ker is a liar. If Lanahan said that 1 was his agent he lied; nnd if Parker says that I was Lanahan's agent he is a liar." Senator Blease then read affidavits dated August 7, 1906, from Jodie M Rawlinson, John Illack, Jos. B. WyUe, H. H. Evans, John Bell Towlll and L. W. Boykin, who composed the two last state boards of control of the state dispensary, all of whom say that Cole L. Blease has never directly nor indirectly solicited business or asked that purchases be made from Samuel J. Lanahan or any other party engaged in selling whiskey or other articles to the State dispensary "Now, Mr. President," continued Mr. Blease, "there is the record. That is all I have got to say. I do xvot want to be hareh in this matter. 1 hare endeavored to speak without j feeling and without temper, and I have told this senate what I believe. [ have told this senate what I propose to tell the people of South Carolina. And the man that will come to my face and tell me that I was Lanaban's agent, then, Mr. President, the world will find out whether he and I are both brave men or not. "I thank the senate for Its kindness and ask that these remarks and alfidavlts be printed in the record." ESCAPED FROM JAIL. They Have Some Queer Ways Down in Dorchester County. The Dorchester Eagle says "last Thursday night week Sheriff Limehouse was greatly surprised when J. M. Walker, the white man convicted of killing Joe Denicola at Badham over a year ago aud sentenced to IB years in the State penitentiary, walked up and applied for admission into the county Jail. The situation was explained when Walker told his story. "He showed a false key which he had cut from a piece of broom handle. With this key he unlocked the doors and freed himself. After traveling a few miles, Walker decided to come back and give himself up to the Bberlff. The whole matter sounds like a fairy tale, but the facts are there. "Walker has been awaiting a decision of the Supreme Court upon the question of a new trial, and a few days ago the Court decided to refuse a new trial. Walker was taken on Tuesday to Columbia where he has begun to serve his 15 years sentence." * Agrees With Bryan. The Charleston Post says those who advocate the election of United States Senators by direct popular vote will find good argument in favor of their position in the Kentucky Legislature's deadlock, over the choice of a senator. The Legislature has been in session for a month and the term of its sitting is half over; a ballot has been taken every day for Senator, and no choice has yet been made, the relative positions of ox-Gov. Beckham, the nominee of the Democratic primary, and of Ex-Gov, Bradley, the Republican candidate, being un changed at the end of the month's contest; only one measure has been enacted into law, that providing a stenographer for the governor, though important legistion is desired by the people of the State, affectng their material innterests. The vhole time of the session has been given to political play, and that vithout any result, and the end is not yet. The deadlock seems to be complete and it is not impossible 'hat the Legislature will adjourn vithout making any choice of a Senitorand without accomplishing anyhing of the people's business for .vhich it was elected. If Senators vere elected by direct popular vote hat condition would be impossible. It is impossible now in many States?South Carolina, for example? in which the primary system >f nominations is the established orler in politics, the choice of the primary being, in effect, an election by popular vote. In Kentucky the democrats submitted the Senatorhip to a general primary and Gov, Reckham was nominated by the par\j of tho ?\nllc Knf ? *?~* -J ,.V ?iw |<uuu, UUt Lilt llUIlllHttUUIl las not been accepted as binding by ome of the Democratic members of he Legislature, who hold that Mr. teckham employed methods to ad/ance his o-vn interest which have or ought injury to the party. While lection of a Republican Governor .fives support to their contentions yet ohe light of the primary system as it is accepted in South Carolina and <ome other States, the argument is spacious, and undoubtedly a dangerjus precedent is established by their attitude, which may arise to plague them in future. Gov. Beckman may tot be the ideal Senator for Kentuc <y but he was the choice of the State for the ofTice and it is not so ?asg to dafend the position of the protesting members of his party in the Legislature, If Senators were ilected by popular vote there would >e no chance of deadlocks and no Uate would lack its full representa ion at Washington, as many have acked in times past, and the Legisatures would be able to devote hejr time more completely to makng laws desired by the people.

Why not make the lien law an isme in the campaign this Summer, and find out exactly what the people want done with it. Ma. Bryan believes in the integrity of the common people and that is why he is willing to trust them to elect United States Senators and all others. The tarilT that protects and fosters , the trusts may not have caused the panic, but it certai.dy did not preserve prosperity as our Republican friends declared it would. , Col. John C.

Says Bleats Admitted Knowledge ! of the Lanahan Matter IN A TALK WITH HIM ' At Wright's Hotel ia June, 1000, and in Justice to All Parties Con- 1 I corned Calls on Blease to Name < the "High State Offlciul" Who Rep- ' resented the Lanahan Firm Before vim; suae JLtoard. To the Editor of the News and Courier: Please pardon a few words in answer to Senator Cole L. Blease in his recent remarks in the State Senate with reference to my testimony before the winding-up commission. The absurdity of the charge of conspiracy as made by Mr. Blease muBt be apparent, but there may be some conditions not understood by all. Neither Capt. Smyth nor myself was a supporter of Governor Ansel in the recent campaign. For myself, though I had the highest personal regard for him, I differed with him on the Issues of the campaign and voted for another. I have never had a communication with him or any one else referred to by Mr. Blease with reference to my testimony, except with Mr. Avery Patton, to whom, after having been subpoenaed as a witness before the winding-up commission I wrote on December 30, urging him "not again to put me to the humiliation of appearing in a matter about which 1 know practically nothing." To this letter I have had a reply and had not seen Mr. Patton until I appeared before the commission a few days since. Mr. Blease asks the question why I waited until after Mr. Lanahan't death to answer the question as to who Mr. Lanahan had told me was representing him in South Carolina. I agree with him that it was unfortunate that the answer had to be made subsequent to Mr. Lanahan's death, but 1 had no choice in the matter. No one knows bettor than Mr Blease why the question was not answered two years ago at the time of the hearing before the Lgislativc committee, in June, 1906. It was upon Mr. Blease's own motion and by the effort of his own vntn v was excused from answering the question at that time, against, the earnest protest of Mr. Lyon, now Attorney General, and two other members of the Investigating committee. Having been excused by the investigating committee from answering the question then, it certainly would have been Improper and inconsistent for me subsequently to have rushed into print to make public statements which I had asked the Legislative committee to excuse me from making before them. Having been excused then from disclosing the personage referred to by Mr. Lan&han, I was not called upon to note any denial by him that Mr. Blease was the person referred to. 1 It will be noted, however, that Mr. Lanahan never denied any part of the conversations referred to by me In my testimony. He merely denied that he bad told me that Mr. Blease represented him, which at that time I had not testified to before the committee. because, as stated, I had been excused. Mr. Blease certainly surprises me. 1 however, in his statement to the effect that he had no idea that I referred to him in my statements be- . fore the investigating committee. When I testified in June, 1906, Mr. Lanahan had been advised of my having been Bubpoenaed and of the necessity of my testifying to my conversation with him if the Court decreed that I should do so; furthermore the attorneys representing Mr. H. H. Evans had been advised before I testified of the purport of my testimony. As the intimacy between Mr. Blease and Mr Rvnnu who woii 1 hud presumed that It had been com- ( muntcated to Mr. Ulease what mj | testimony would be. I ThlB precaution was confirmed in | my own mind by statements of Mr. Hlease to me. On the evening of m> testimony, whilst Mr. Haynswortb t and I were supping together at , Wright's Hotel, Mr. Hlease, who had been taking supper at a table some distance away, stopped at our table a moment, and after expressing hi: ( approval of the position I had taken | with reference to testifying snid in t effect that ho was familiar with all a the facts with regard to the employ- \ ment of the party referred to by mc t by Mr. Lanuhan; that he had no apoligies to make to anyone for voting to excuse me from giving the t name, but that in Justice to the partj r referred to he wanted to say that t that party had not undersood fully i the service expected of n?m when ho c accepted the employment, and when ( he did learn what was expected a he declined to serve furthr, and re- t celved lesH than two hundred dollars f for his compensation. I understood the statement of Mr. c Bleaso to be a diplomatic acknowl- t edgement of his connection with the t matter, and, as, expressed in legal terms, "a plea of confession nnd avoidance." Mr. Itlease now denies ( that he had any connection with Mr. t Lnnahan. I I may add that 1 am advised by Mr. Wm. Elliott, of Columbia, who 3 was my attorney in the proceedings : before the Supreme Court, that Mr. c Ftlease ninde to him practically the same statement as made above. In Justice to Mr. Itlease himself, ind in justice to the memory of Mr. * ^anahan, Mr. Itlease is now, it seems c :o me, called upon to say who was he "high State official," whom Mr. ^anahau had employed, as he has G HOME TRADE PAYS. Some of the Disadvantages of Buying Gcods by Mail. [ly Proper Newspaper Advertising the Local Merchant May Compare Successfully With Big Outsider. In a recent talk Elmer S. Buttersou af Chicago, a noted towu boomer, made Ihe following pertinent remarks concerning the mail order trade and kinIred topics: "ine mall oriler bouse has no advantage over the local stores. The catalogue house sends out a catalogue to the farmers ouce or twice a year. The local merchant may reach him dully In the local press. It costs nt least apiece to get out the catalogue. The local merchunts send out little for advertising. Every new customer costs a catalogue house at least $1. The local merchaut secures his patronage at a less figure. A innll order house has u large force of clerks with a lnrgo expense In u large city, and Its goods are shown by pictures and priuted pages In catalogues. A local merchant can show his goods In his window dally. A local merchant has the advantage. He can give you goods on approval and excliauge them easy. It takes time to make an exchange with a mail order house. "Catalogue houses do uot undersell ] the local merchant. This Is true. One item Is hut a fair test. Take ten nrtl cles or compare n business of two months with n local merchant and r, mail order house and see. Catalogue houses do not run an Illegal busluess They run a legal one. If they did ut>* they would have been excluded from ihe malls long ago. us every commer clal club Is on the lookout. "The mall order house receives an rrder for a parasol fur a baby cab from a woiuau on a rural route. This is enough. The mall order house at once surmises there Is a baby lu the family. It must have clothes. It will grow. In another year more clothes are needed and still more the following year. This child must have a father and n mother, and probably other chil dren are In the family. They need : household articles and. being nn n ru i ral route, live lu the country and need I farm Implements. Holding tlie letter up to the light, it Is noticed that the paper Is branded and Is of good qunl ity. so the people must he well to do ' Merchants may go Into the entn logue business. Get out a circular every so often. Have the type stereo typed. Save the plates, and when you have a dozen or fo you may get out a catalogue at a nominal price. "You must take care of your customera even If you lose tuouey. No merchant should turn down a customer He should see him provided with the article desired. A quick sale la better than bnviug an article on hand for u long time. "If furmors do not come to town, something la wrong. Investigate It by asking tbetu. If it Is because lumber has advanced and can be bought cheaper In a neighboring city because there ia bui one lumber dealer In your town, organize a new lumber company comprising the merchants. "All selfish motives should he cut out. Do as much business as possible, but don't get Jealous If your neighbor does more. An unfair merchant Is a traitor to his town. "A large store in a small town does not hurt the small stores. It takes In a large trade radius. If your town Is four miles in radius and you draw trade from live miles surrounding It. the ratio is 1)0 to 4. If you increase the radius one mile, you Increase the trade ; radius almost 40 per cent. A new de- ' partment store with improved methods 1 will increase the trailing radius. If merchants In neighboring cities get the advertising space In local papers. It Is because the locul merchants don't want It and the outsiders do. "The town does not stop at the city limits. It takes In the 'srniers in the surrounding country.

The d people of this city should give every ^ poslble support to the Anti-Tuberculosis Society which 1b now lu progress of orguuizutlou: f "Tuberculosis is au ever present ? /nirainent peril. Ther* Is no reason for any one's attempting to minimize its ravages or to scout the danger for that it is hers is acknowledged by everyoue, and tl at It can be rendered InnocuouB Is also eonceded by those who have made an extended study of it. "The matter is more than local, for it Is not until every vestige of consumption, as the disease is vulgarly called, is lost all over the country that the work of the anti-tuberculosis society will be accomplished. The dreaded germ lay In wait in the laundry we send to the washerwomen, in the public places where we congregate, in .'he street and railroad cars wherein we ride, in the very street? and in the homes we occupy. It Is everywhere and yearly it take? , a dreadful toll of lives aw payment for negligence. "No one is safe as long as there Is a consumptive walking the streets or occupying a bed in the homes where our servants live, or the family laundry is done. The germs are everywhere and it is only by right living, by careful methods In cases . where the disease has already been contracted, by prompt fumigation of houses where a death from tuberculosis has occur' d and generally improved sanitation that tuberculosis is to be headed off and ts ravages entailed, if not eliminated. "We may not consider the danger worth noticing because our individual lungs are healthy and strong, hut unless we are inatteutlve to the warnings on every hand wo are living in *. tool's paradise, that may some day he turned Into a torture when loved ones die from tuberculosis that we might have helped save If we had Joined in the work of the antl-tuberculosis society. "There Is work to he done by everyone. physician, minister, layman. And It should be done at once. The newly formed society knows how to perform the lnbor properly and It should ^nve the personal and financial help of every loyal citizen. Every person who employs large numbers of men or women should become h member and help by his purse to de stroy the menace. Every school teacher and principal can do much toward preventing the spread cf the disease by teaching those In their care what It Is, how It ravages and how It may be prevented. "The simple rules of hygiene if followed will render one Immune at times. The teachers who desire e:?n have the assistance of the anti-tuberculols society in flndng out what to teach their pupils. This Is part of Its work. "The physicians have entered into the spirit of the new organization most heartily and will be found a valuable assistance in the attack upon the strongholds of the white plague. Hut they should not be allowed to wage the fight unaided cr alone. "It really is not to their financial interest?to look at the matter in a cold-blooded light?to enter into tlie work of the anti-tuberculosis society and that they are so doing is all the more reason why they should have the undivided assistance of the laymen. This is everybody's flslit, helping every one of us. Everyone should enroll as a member of the society at once. Delay means much ut this Juucture." FOOLISH-YOUNG MAN. Gets lu Serious Trouble For Kuisiug a Money Order. A foolish young man by the name of W. O. Warren, who lived near Kline, in Raiuberg County, hat gotten Into serious trouble by his dishonesty. Warren 19 charged with raising a nostofllco money order and the warrant for his arrest was sworn out by Postoflice Inspector 3. W. Kh.gsniore. Deputy United States Marshall A. Fisher, of this city went for Warren and returned with him to this city on Tuesday. The foolish young man admits the charge and the only excuse offered was that he did not know why he did It. The facts in the case are as follows: On November 2, 1907, Mrs. A. E. Reverly, Waren's aunt, purchased a money order at the Bamberg postoflice for 11.81 in favor of a Chicago mail order house. The mon- B r>y order and order for goods were 1 given to Warren to mall, but before D doing so he changed the order to | $9.81 ond added several articles for his own use. * When the package arrived at the express office it was delivered to Warren, who removed the 'articles which he desired for his own u'/s and carried the balance to his aunt, who was perefctly Ignorant of tho Irregular imrt n f f hn Thu rmttAf was reported to the postofflce authorities hy the Chicago house and the Inspector was not long in locating the guilty party. Warren was taken before Robert Lido, Esq., United Staets Commlsdoncr, who bound hint over in tho sum of three hundred dollars for Ills appearance, at the United States Court.
