Charleston, Which Was Written
Over a Year Ago by Mayor Grace
to Governor Blease. ✓
Charleston, S. C., Feb. 18, 1911.
Hon. Cole L. Blease, Columbia, S. C.
My Dear Governor: As you will
see from the enclosed clipping from
The News and Courier of this date,
you are reported to have stated Infer-
entlally that you Intend appointing
constables lu Charleston, and that,
at an early date. Now, governor, as
ono of your very good friends, I want
to talk to you frankly and In writing
about this subject, and will proceed
on the old proverb: ‘‘An ounce of
prevention Is bettor than a pound of
cure.” Jt were useless for me to
wait until the thfngTs done and then
complain.
I do not believe in autopsies. Cou
pled with this newspaper report, I
can cite you specific instances coming
straight from the sheriff of Charles
ton, that you not only Intend to ap
point constables in Charleston, but
men;
tented voters of the country. But it

Grace’s Charlewton Organ Says It
Has Practically Traced Graft Up
to the Governor Himself.
Under the heading of "Graft and
Grafters” Common Sense, the organ
of the Grace faction in Charleston,
published the following editorial ifl
the Issue of May 25:
We are publishing on this page a
letter written to Governor Blease by
Mr. Grace about eighteen months ago.
It is the first chapter explanatory of
the relations which have grown up
between these gentlemen. We ask our
readers to weigh every word of it,
because it touches the vital question
of their self-government. Before Mr.
Grace agreed to support Mr. Blease,
he asked but one question; and that
was what did the governor If elected
intend to do toward restoring to
Charleston control over her purely
domestic affairs?
His promise was to give us the lar-
g'st possible measure of freedom:
and upon this assurance Mr. Grace
exerted every effort toward his elec
tion and toward the defeat of Mr.
Featherstone, who had in the most
wanton manner in a speech at Hiber
nian hall during the campaign insult
ed the people of Charleston by telling
them that he did not want their votes
that he was a prohibitionist, and if
elected that he would do everything
in iiis power to take from Charleston

All these things, and many others
which are too numerous to mention,
are absolutely incoiisisieni with wbat
you have announced publicly at the
Schuetzenplalz in Charleston, and
what you have told me an 1 Mr
Roeasler face to face, to the effect
that you would not appoint any con
stables in Charleston. You will re
call also that you made the same
statement in the St. John's hotel
when Mr Heap applied for the posi
tion.
I realize, of course, that many

leston ur« simply clamoring for the
appointment of constabl* s and that
tho situation is being presented to
you from every angle, so that unless
you wore absolutely familiar with
our local politics you would not dis
cern the hand of the real author.
But to make a long story short, the
whole matter is politics, pure and
simple The city aud county author
ities are charged under the law with
its enforcement.
it is probable that for political
reasons at this time they would like
to use t he law as they have done 111
the past, for all that it is war'll But
that anybody has any honest idea or
true purpose to enforce the law
agattitff the sale of liquor In Charles
ton would not he believed even by a
child here. Think for a minute.
Tho dispensary law has been on the
statute hooka for eighteen years. It
has been the football of politics in
Charleston during that time. There
are more retail licenses here now
thaa when it comnienced.
The man who is sheriff now was

Captain Lord, of Californian, Held
Responsible for Great Loss of Life
in not Lending Aid and English
Board of Trade and White Star
Une Severely Criteis d.
Blame for the disaster Is charge
able directly to the failure of Captain
Smith to heed repeated warnings of
icebergs ahead, but responsibility for
unnecessary loss of life must be
shared by Capt. Lord, of the steam
ship California, through his disre
gard of distress signals.
This is tho finding of the Senate
committee which investigated the
sinking of the Titanic, as prepared
,n a comprehensive speech delivered
by William Aldeu Smith, of Michi
gan, chairman of the committee.
Senator Smith declared that re
sponsibility also rests upon the Uril-
Isn board of trade, "to whose laxity
of regulation, and hasty inspection,
the world is largely Indebted for the
awful fatality.”
In denouncing Capt. Lord, of the
Californian, the Senator said the Ti
tanic's distress signals were plainly
seen from the deck of his vessel, a
short distance away.
America will leave to England the 1
chastisement of those guilty, assert-
; ed the Senator, and he quoted British
i law to show that Capt. Lord might
he prosecuted for a misdemeanor.
! Other conclusions presented, In
brief, were as follows:
i Before th** Titanic departed on her
maiden voyage there were no sulli-
11 lent tests of boiler, bulkheads,
equipment or signal devices.
Officers and crew were strangers
j to each other and not familiar with
(the ship's Implements or tools, and
no drill or station practice took place
J and no helpful discipline prevailed.
The speed of tile Titantie was .'4
1-2 miles an hour at th*- time of the
, accident, although the officers of the
Titanic had been advised of the pres
ence of icebergs by the steamships
Baltic, Acerira and Californian.
Passengers were not advised of
danger, although President Ismay. of
the White Star Dine, who was taking}
the vessel's maid* n voyage, was in-,
formed. No general alarm was given
nor any organized system of safety
un dertakt-n.
Of the 1,32 4 passengers and 599
members of the crew- on board. th**r*-
was room in the lifeboats for only
, 1,1 71> persons and because of lark of

Senator Smith condemned "antiq
uated shipping laws and overripe ad
ministrative boards' and asked that
all nations act together in shipping
reforms ' New laws,” he said, "will
best testify our affection for the
dead.”
Captain Rostron, of the rescue
ship Carpathla, was praised by Sen
ator Smith, and he urged that Con
gress recognize his valor.
At the outset. Senator Smith de
fended the course of his committee
in holding British subjects to secure
their testimony without delav. and

of nautical knowledge.

As the Vessel Passes Over the Grevu

An incident which made a tremen
dous impression on the officer* of
the Canadian steamer Montmagny,
while tha’ vessel was searching for
the Titanic Dead, was described by
the ship's chaplain, tho Rev. 8. H.
Prime, on his arrival at Halifax.
' On the morning of May 9th,” he
said, as we were passing over th#
ocean grave of the Titanic, the rock
ing of the boat suddenly started tbs
ship's bell ringing. For fifteen min
utes the bell tolled at regular Inter
vals. It seemed as If the elements
had been purposely arouted to peel
'his sorrowful dirge.”
