Do you not know thrt nature has furnished us with natural chan nels for drainage through and by our branches, creeks, swamps c>nd rlverd? Do yon not know that through our neglect that these sources of drr-inage have gradually become blocked until now the water re mains In stagnant pools all over the low country? Do yon not know that th»ae conditions have existed for so long a time that In mr-r^r sections it Is Impossible for us to live on ac count of malarial conditions. / Do you not know tha* -r** hive suffered from Malaria and other dls oases which are bred and thrive in our swamps and low lands until it has begun to pass from or«* gen eration to another, in a sort of degenerative process nnfil our chil dren, are being born with it In their systems. . > Do ynu not know that hundreds die annually from malaria and many thousands continually suffer the tortures of the damned from which there Is no relief f. Do you not know that orce our system become charged with this terrible malarial poison, even though we do not die from it, that our powers of resistance is so werkened that we fall easy and ear ly victims to other diseases that would not otherwise prove fatal? Do yon not bellevf that our riv ers should be dredged, cler-ied out and made navigable, and that our sa-ampa art overflow tanda should have crnals sunk in them, iand that it is the duty of Congress to co-operate and appropriate money in order to assist us?

Have not we of this low ^untry been lr* distress for ages, rod if it la constitutional for Congress to appropriate money to relieve one section, Is It not for another?

Judging from your past ex perience, do you ever expect to get sny relief until you make a charge? What do you think of a congress man who has served you for ten years, and now feels cr-Mcd upbn to read letters from other congress men from other States to prove that be is a Democrat, and to have read those letters at the first cr-mpaign meeting, without his op- po'- nt accusing him of being a Re publican?. What does that sound like fff you who think? Does it not look as though he felt that his constant affiliations with Republicans had caused mar^> his consthusnts to doubt his sin cerity to our Democracy, end that L felt called upon to correct those doubts in the minds of the peo ple f Should not his acts have been eufficient to prove to you his De mocracy ? But fellow cltixens, he felt that he needed stronger proof than that which he could produce from h|s own sets, and In securing r-nd reading such letters he henceforth stands self accused, and therefore he now finds himself in the pecul iar position of defending himself agatr-at his own accosatlons. Do you not feel that we need c- change** Do you believe in giving any one a life time on such a Job? Do you not feel that ynu should give someone else a chance?

"One today is worth two tomorrows.” ifiLEASE DOT* ftprings Hotel tonight, Mr Grace dictated to newspaper men a state ment of 4,000 words, which, In Its entirely, would he-rdly pass muster with the United States postal au thorities. Were it published In full Mr. Grrce would have quite fulfill ed hit promise to "nauseate the white people of South Carolina." It is, beyond question, the “yellow est” public revelation ever made in direct connection with the name of r. Southern State, and. in certain of its features, overshadows any thing in the same connection which had yet been made public, or which was offered for public use. Mr. Grnee’s statement purports to reveal conversations between him self and the governor, while they were pollticcl allies, and "more or less friendly” toward each other, which bear- in high coloring upon the private life of the governor. Mayor Grace says the Governor told him that he, Blet-se, had prac tically paid all the expense* of the candidate for railroad commissioner, whom he names, out of money fur nished by the Southern milway, and that >ie gave the railroad company vouchers signed by the candidate. Concerning the Governor’s state ment of his belief thnt Grace did not ^support him in the first or even vote for him in the second primary, the mayor says that "this of course, he knows is a lie.” and that the proof is In writing, in the shape of editorials Mr. Omce wrote for the Governor, to be used, and some that were used, in the few newspapers supporting the Govern or, and tn letters of acknowledge ment and thanks written by the Governor to him. expressing appreei ation of his senloef. Tho Mayor 8tr.*e* that "everybody in Charles ton knows, as they knew at the time, that K was practically through me that in the first primary he yBler.se( got the votes he did get," that. In supporting Blease he went! hostile to the overwhelming senti ment of Charleston and that he was "severely blamed by the people of Charleston for this and It operat ed seriously rgalnst” him in his subsequent campaign for mayor. At the Markdon Several Tiim s. As to the Governor's? statement that he had been to the executive mansion but once, end then to get a game cock and to ask for a mili tary appointment for his brother, the Mayor says this is not true; that he hrd been several times to the mansion at the Governor’s urg ing. He did go to ask the Gov ernor to recommend assignment. of his brother (who is an officer in the regular army) to certcin ser vice Id event of war, that while there, the Governor aaid he had a fine game cock which he did not want, and would give to Mr. Orac^ that he took the cock and still has* him. Mayor Grace says further that either on this or another visit he made to the executive me-nsion, the Governor had shown him the 'T. B letter which subsequently was pro duced by the governor to support a charge that T. B. Felder, of At lanta, was connected with dispen sary grafting. mil* Is the letter *c4d to hsve been written by Hub Evans. Mayor Grece says that he wondered at the time how a letter ♦ hat Evans wre depending on to stand between him and the State of South Carolina could be in the possession of the Governor. Referring to the Governor's, dec laration that he had never trusted and would never trust Mr. Grr'e, "because his eyes are set too close together.'' the Mayor says he car* not undertake to pass Judgment or* Ms own countenance, but he l* glad to know that the governor is inter ested in r-nd rppcnN to science of physiogaminy, as this gives par ticular point to Detective Burns* statement that "as soon as ho saw r. a photograph of Blease he knew he was a crook, becsiigcv his ears were lower than his eyfs.’r “I prefer.” continues Mayor Grace, "to tr-ke Burns Judgement, however. In thes matters, for the reason, whereas Burns is an expert In dealing with and ottserving crooks. Gov. Blease Is only, distinguished for being a crook himself."
