William J. Barns. I Nashville Tennessean. William J. Burns has done it again. It was in Detroit this time. Eight aldermen and the secretary , of the ctommon council committees were the fellows who fell into the , snare this time. In his answer the governor takes up a great deal of space to deny a thing that has not been charged. It ( is his way of meeting the charges made against him. Nobody ever did 1 say that be was at a carousal the i might before the inauguration, and 1 all that was charged, and all that was contained in the affidavits might still J tnto hpraiise they do not conflict. It Is much like that much vaunted Lanahan affidavit which did not deny but was paraded all over the State as a complete refutation of all charges. Nobody expected the governor to admit the truth of the charges and the surprise Is that he was so moderate in the denials that even a school girl can read them. They took money from the Wabash railway for lending their Influence to have a street closed. These nine men are said to have taken bribes in sums ranging from $100 to $1,000, and aggregating $3,000. Furthermore several other aldermen are under suspicion, and Detroit may have a scandal which will equal that of Pittsburg. In LosAngelss, in Portland, in San Francisco, in South Carolina and in Michigan it is always William J. Burns who turns up the crookedness. What a pity it is that there are not one hundred William J. Burnses to turn up the corrupt men in public life who are willing to barter away their character and public rights!

W. T. THROWER, Mayor. Take note of the fact that Cole L. Blease by accident governor of the State promises in a public meeting, to make "that gang," meaning the citizens of the State opposing him, "sweat blood" for the next few months if they dare to depose him from power. He is good at a bluff, and there may be some people scared into supporting him because of the threat, 1?* ? rr<i? ....?. - c uui xiui niciuv. i ut: >uitna ui iuio | State are not apt to be gathered in by means of that kind, though many will applaud such a manly (?) exhibition o? prowess and nobleness of character of their hero and ideal. As a matter of fact he cannot be much worse than he has been. He cannot even put Tom Felder in jail if he did come into South Carolina. He can not stop John P. Grace. He has already done all that he can think of against the newspapers. He cannot do anything to one of us that he does not do to you and to all the citizens of the State. He can cuss and villify, but our forefathers had experience with such wild men before our day and they hedged in the authority of tyrants and crazy rulers with many limitations, and the State of South Carolina has reason to thank God every day for those acts of a past generation that bridled the oppressor i and the tyrant for the sake of the 1 people. Cole Blease belongs to the dark ages and the kingdoms that are yet in heathendom. He can not make anybody sweat blood unless he has so corrupted the whole syste mof government and bullied the peace officers' and the courts thereof that they cannot be counted on to do their duty, like that sherifF and the police of', Spartanburg. Give him two years j more and we doubt not that he will i have things fixed to suit himself.? I Florence Daily Times. - j1 It Was To Be Rosette laughed softly.
