"A large |M*r of those who two years ago, and now are yelling 'law ami . order,' want a law and order of their own contriving, They are not ready to admit that, politically speak it 1 , all white South Carolinians are eipial. They think themselves divinely commissioned to rule everybody else, and this, not BJoaslsui, is the true ? ?Hie <* of llleasiHin. The plain |H*ople saw llijs resurrected hnurhoiiism and, thinking It was I he old 'ring' come to life again, took Itieasistn in preference to it. Mease himself is a mere symp tom. The real fever is bigotry. pollli <-jil Intolerance and social injustice, i <?1111 upon you, my fellow citizens, you who know and claim to want belter and higher things, to hroaden your s,\ in pat hies.

I, earn that greal'tr'nth, act on il to the uttermost, and my word for it. Itloa^o Ism Will disappear -> n i iVl it w ill not <IK appear nut 11 you learn il. "Then too a certain class of our t'el low citizens have been very .unjust and uiiroasoHahle -in their dealing w ith Mie poorer people, I reu'l i tig them with no consideration w hatever and show lug a contempt for them This is especially true with regard to those who work ill the cotton mills hi liiany coinina Ultles the people in the mill villages lire a class apart, looked down' upon ami not associated with, No wonder So * IalUiu and the 1. \V W are getting si foothold among those citizens of ours.

This 1)4 the secret of Mouse's hold on the people who work in the cot ton mils, and we ought liy every means In our power break that hold by show ing Hie same resp<?et and consideration for them that we do for others. "As for those who compare Mease the man with Tillman the man, they are, for want of a hotter term, what I may call maliciously ignorant. Mease and Tillman are both popular Idols ami there the resemblance ends. I had definite ends 'to accomplish ; my personal character and private life wore always above reproach and my integrity was never questioned save by si few slanderers who merely assorted without attempting to prove.
