This Is the Record He Made m s Senator From Newberry County Some Years Ago. Several years ago a bill was Intro duced in the legislature by C. I’. San ders, a member of the House from a county, which would prohibit the op eration of bucket-shops In the State. In the Senate Senator H. li. Carlisle championed the bill. Cole L. Blease was its leading antagonist. This bill was of vital Interest to the farmers of the State who raise cotton. It puts an end to the specu lation through the bucket-shops and every farmer in the State was speei-i ally anxious to have the measure passed. Practically all planters in South Carolina were in favor of the! bill, except those who had dealings with the bucket-shops. j But Governor Please opposed khe. bill, championing the bucket-shops and their cause. The following-cee-; ord, taken from the Senate Journal, shows wherein Gov. Blease fought the measure, which was lost, but passed subsequently when introduo- 1 cd a second time by Senator Carlisle: , Mr. Sanders' bill declared the keep-, tug of any room or place where con -. tracts are made for the future deliv ery of any stock, bonds, cotton, grain,!

Addressing a large crowd from the balcony of the courthouse at Spar tanburg on Friday night Governor Blease undertook, as he hlmaelf said, to make the Jones men and newspa- per men sick, to nauseate ^hem. To that end he vilified the respectable citizens of Spartanburg, employing the language of the gutter; applied coarse epithets to the editors of the Columbia State and The Herald and those associated with them; attempt ed to arouse In the cotton mill work ers hatred of the mill owners, and promised to pardon any convict from Spartanburg county whom the people of the county asked him to pardon.

To the Editor of The State: The 30-day suspension of the Con federate veteran, Samuel F. Massey, from the old soldiers' home on the 7th Inst, by order of ‘TI. W. Richard son, chairman and treasurer,” seems to have grown out of the public charge by Mr. Massey that Maj. Hal Richardson was using his official po sition -to try to force votes at the in stitution for Gov. Blease. But the incident compels inquiry as to the major's authority as "chairman" and his office as "treasurer". I’pon in vestigation of the law and of the ex penditures on the Home by Maj. icbardson, 1 find a situation which seems to be a flagrant violation of law and misuse of public funds. It certainly calls for publicity and for explanation by the authorities. " The act of 1908 establishing the Confederate infirmary provides for a commission of five to establish and manage the institution, and further specifically provides: "That the mem bers of said commission shall receive no compensation for their services but shall be entitled to actual ex- (’onfe.lerate Infirmary have been drawn up n a voucher or receipt signed by "H.

Nichols, who claimed that he waa on a debauch when he agreed with the Purna detective to have f safe rob ber pardoned. The Governor, after a few prelimi nary remarka, paid hb reaped* to John I’ Grace, mayor of Charleston, whom he called "the dtrileat skunk that South Carolina ever produced '' Blease talked of Wofford College and what a noble Institution It waa. and of the refining Influence which P should have on the people of the city.

A cablegram from Constantinople says details of the earthquake that wrecked several cites on the coast of the Sea of Marmora, and caused up heavals In the sea, which are coming In slowly owing to interruption of wires, Indicates that the disturbance was widespread. Several hundred persons have been killed; thousands are homeleaa and outbreak* of fire have occurred in many towns and villages.
