When they came to the Mansion they found there Mr. Sam Nlcbolls who baa confessed to n long pro tracted apell of drurkennees and who has not alleged soberness on this occasion.

Qoeatioa*. These two questions, among a number of others, are reported to hare been naked Gov. Blease at the campaign meeting in Lexington on Tnesdav* “Didn’t you vote for Ira B. Jones, after all this social equality tr.lkT’ and "What have you done with the decisions of the Juries of South Car olina? What about your pardon record!?” And Gov. Blease’s reply to the *lrst is reported to have been as follows: ‘‘If Ira B. Jones had been as mean as you are, he would have been In hell long ago.” Then this, when the Interrogation was put r. second time: “When a gentlemen asks m«* a on^etlon I’ll ar* wer It.” And final ly this as an explanation of voting for Judge Jomg- “i wouldn't pay no more retention to you than a hturd puppy would to a yellow nlggsr." And he replied to the pardon question In these words: "If you had s»nse enough you would read It in the newspapers. •! can onlj give you the facts, God will have to give you the brf.lns to understand them.” It seems to us that the Governor wgs asked perfectly legitimate que«- tiens that there was absolutely no InilmatloP an to r*n attempt at howl ing him down when these questions were put to him. although he claim ed there was.

In hto usual chaste and dignified manner—and for the evident pur pose of making votes by arousing a feeling of rivalry or of erenlty be tween South Carolinians and Geor gians—saw fit to refer to the gov ernor of Georgia as t- "tap-seeded water-meloh-headed governor.” and to Georgians in general aa “pimps and cowards,” all. Having thus forced a compari son—If. IMeed, Insult from such a source may be considered such —we can scarcely escape the ob servation that if the State of Geor gia had a governor who was com- > deny— That he sold pardons for cash— That he was hand-ln-glove with known grafters.”— Thr-* he had accepted pay for drfeat tng legislation. That "blind tigers” contributed large sums of morcy to his cam paign fund— That he wr-v the beneficiary of "graft” collected from liquor deal er*— Or if Georgia had a governor who could so far forget himself and the dignity attr-ching to his high office, as well as the respect due his people, as to use the lan guage that Cole L. -mease has re peatedly used on the stump in South Carolina.. ' There would be found enough go<>d men and true lr* -Georgia to drive stlch a man from the gubernatorial chair without ceremony—if not through the ballot box, by means more drastic.
