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.

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 ? *?~*

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

acked in times past, and the Legisatures

PARKER REPLIES.
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

from a woiuau on a rural route. This
is enough. The mall order house at
once surmises there Is a baby lu the

' 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

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 ;

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. A market day is :
? good thing for a small town, a bargain

"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

person who employs large numbers
of men or women should become h

"It really is not to their financial

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

who bound hint over in tho
sum of three hundred dollars for
