THE RECORD OF BLEASE PROMINENT CHERAW ATTOR NEY SPEAKS OUT His Every Effort Has Been to Cover up Dispenspry Grafting The Che raw Chronicle. Referring to your questions a bout Mr. Blouse I will make the following statement: Ho was a member of tho com mittee to investigate tho state dis pensary. Mr. Lyon and Mr. Chris tensen, who did the heavy work and unearthed a lot of rottenness, soon found that to accomplish any thing they had to keep their coun sel from Mr. Blcase, and that there WAS strong evidence that he was giving tips to the "grafters." It came out that ono Samuel J Lanallan had employed a state senator to represent his house ami work on tho matter of sales for him in violation of thc law. When thc witness, Mr. Lewis W Bar ker, was called on to give the nam? of the senator, he declined to give it unless forced to do so. Mr. Blcase led thc fight to keep him from being forced to tell and by one vote tho committee refused to require Mr. Barker to give tho name. Mr. Blease stated to Mr. Parker before unimpeachable witnesses that he knew all about the matter anti knew the senator referred to and appreciated his action in refus i iv? to give the name, lt was af terwards stated by Mr. Parker when required to do so by tho present dispensary commission that Mr. Blcase was thc man. Mr. ........ Ov>i i wpo?vluata and in the face of that, with knowl edge of a state oflicor who had been violating the law he was ap pointed to vindicate, he was active in protecting the wrong doer. If elected governor, would he be less active if some of thc evildoers, whom he was then protecting in violation of his duty, Were now ConvictedV Again, when the ap propriation was asked for, to be used by Mr. Lyon in prosecuting the wrongdoers, he opposed it vigorously. Will he allow the con victions that may follow such prosecutions to stand if he is gov ernor. ? Again, when thc Fleischman Co. found that the dispensary commission was on the frauds per petrated by it on the state they went into the United Ststes court and was joined there by Ullman & Co., and other smaller malefactors. They got an order appointing a receiver of the funds on hand thou $800,000, and endeavored to get the fund in court- The linn stand of Governor Ansel and the com mission alone prevented thc courts from getting the funds. When the legislation that the state's attorneys thought necessary to render the state absolutely safe was presented to tho state senate, Mr. Blease opposed it vigorously and by a filibuster defeated, as ho claimed, tho most important ol the measures. When I tell you that the com m issi en luis found that Fleischman Co. has overcharged the state $1 15,000 in round num bers, and I'lilian $05,000, and that thc receivers commission would be about $40,000 and tho attorneys fees paid out of the fund about $50,000 you will see that it will Cost tho school fund $'270,000, if Mr. Moase has his way, judging his will 1>,\ his acts, and this will bo the result in favor of two of the liquor houses whose tracks he helped to cover when on tho com mittee to investigate them- If ho is elected, will ho appoint a new commission to undo the work of the one which has saved the state, several hundred thousand dollars and for whom he has had nothing but abuse, and will not a commis to tho Unitod States court? Judge his future by tho past and answer. Again bc speaks of largo appro priations. Ho has, as he says, boen connected for sixteen years with ono or two short intervals with tho legislature, and he claims that he is ono of tho great men of tho senate because they elected him president pro tom. If this is so why has he not, withins great influence and vote, hold down appropriations? If he couldn't do while a member, with a vote, of tho body that makes them, how will he do it when ho gets in the governor's office when he is not a member and has no vote on appropriations? I Ie speaks of vetoing tho bills. Doesn't ho know that the legialaturo can pass them over tho governor's veto? Didn't the governor veto a bill as unconstitutional last year, and didn't the legislature pass it over his veto, tho senate being largely led in doing so by Mr. lileasc? Ho talks about an increase of three hundred thousand dollars in appropriations* In tho period of which he speaks the old soldier's pension was increased $200,000, and he says he wouldn't veto that, and $f>0,000 has been appropriated to county high schools, and Jeffer son and Chesterfield have both gotten them and nobody heard of a strenuous fight on that by Mr. Meuse. That accounts for a large part of the increase Mr. lileaso makes these charges against the legislature and holds thc govcrnar responsible so as t > divert the publie attention fr? m tho grave fi nest ion as lo his con nection with thc late state dispen sary and his questionable causeas a cili/en and legislator in connec tion therewith. Is it any wonder that he would do so in face of the above, facts? I am not in politics. For honors the facts In my knowledge as they exist en political matters whenever by schemes of demagogues and their hackers thc people are liable I? bo misled. The olection of Mr. lilcase would be a misfortune which I fear would cost the state very (handy. W. F. Stevenson. Farmers, mechanics, railroaders, labor ers rely on Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil.

Marion County Correspondent Says the Masses are for Him There Latta, Aug. 3.-Editor Pee Dee Advocate:-Not having seen any items from over in Marion in your most excellent paper I thought probably you might appreciate a lino or two. We have all laid by, hung up tho gear and put tho plows under the shelter for this season and are now taking a rest from our labors, and tho order of the day now is to attend big meetings, fish dinners and picnics. After all, tho old far mer has not such a hard time of it. There is e lot of hard work, and then again he has a period of rec reation. And I expect, after all, he has tho best and most indepen dent calling of any in all this broad land. It was the pleasure of your cor respondent a few days ago to take a trip to Dillon, by Latta, Mal lory, and th l ough the Freestate section, and also in the Sellers community; and we are glad to report most excellent crops. And I lind the boys arc now be ginning to talk politics in dead earnest, local, state and national poli Lies, and, by the way, no doubt you Marlboro people will bc glad to hear that your man, Mr. P A Hodges, is weeding quit? a row in this county for congress. 1 hear him most favorably talked of from o.ye.rv sce.t.ion of Marion bud una tuc masses OL LOU people all over the county are talking Mr. Dodges. The people say in him they will have an absolutely safe and capable man and a man of line character. lt was my pleasure to entertain a relative of mine from Ilorry county this past wcok who is thor oughly acquainted with florry county politics, and he says be yond a doubt Mr. Hodges is going to sweep that county, lie says that while Mr. Hodges is a com parative stranger in that county, somehow those geoplo have found out that he is the man to vote for and the man they are g?ing to send to congress, i saw also this week two gentlemen from different sections of Williamsburg county, and they unhesitatingly state that it looks like every thing in that county are talking Hodges, and that his friends in that county aro legion. It is not my pleasure to know Mr. Hodges, only ina gen eral way, but it seems that the people are thorouguly acquainted with him, and I think it nothing but right and just to let him and his friends in Marlboro, and tho whole district as to that matter, know <d' some of the good things the people are saying about him and doing for him. After going over the whole situation, I predict that T A Hodges will bethe next congressman from the 6th disrict. With best wishes, more anon. Y. Z.
