Archie Willis, the youthLul representative from Laurens county, delivered a dignified address la defense of his reputation as former proprietor and editor of the Belten Times, which the governor of fcouth Carolina attacked in his special veto message to tile house ou the libel act Wednetday. Here is what Governor Blease said in his message about 'Air. Willis and the Ho 1 to 11 incident, w "Also the story tnat the governor Oi the state had insulted a young lady at Helton, when the girl herself came out in an open letter and stated that she had not been Insult ijjp' ed, the newspapers which hud published tho dirty li.famous lio were furnished with copies of the letter from the young h dy denying the lie, but refused to publish it, and the liar who originated tho lie himself was too dirty and contemptible to correct the malicious lie that his pen had given circulation to." lleio is Mr. Willis' reply to the charge of Governor Hleaso: "Mr. Speaker: 1 rise to a question cf personal privilege, and despite trie fact that 1 hold in my hand a letter f'oin (lie 'Slack Hand of South Carolina,' as the writer or writers are pleased to term themselves, warning me that if I again pay my respects to the governor of South Carolina, I shall be killed in snort order, I want to take this opportunity of defending J myself against the uncalled for at- ' Ytack of his excellency in a special message yesterday, when ho took 1 occasion to call me a liar, to which was added certain adjectives pecul- 1 larly all the governor's own.

BRYAN MAKES A SPEECH Ho Preaches Harmony and Predicts a Great Victory lor the Democracy in tlio Approaching Presidential Election, Which is Most Enthusiastically Received. Democratic leaders of tho country at the Jackson clay dinner at Washington oil Monday urged their followers to stop fighting each other and assail the common enemy, the Republican party, with a united front. Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, Speaker Champ Clark, William Jennings Bryan, William Randolph Hearst, Jos. W. Folk and other Democratic chieftains, who hare differed in the past, joined In a unanimous plea for harmony In l'J12 and predicted that political victory would follow. It was a tumultuous dinner, in which the prospective candidates for the presidential nomination shared the honors of th* occasion. Got. Wilson, who spoke urwostly on the issues of the da/, was siren a tremendous oration. When he said it was the dutj of the Democrats in consideration of the trust problem to 'liit the heads that w? see and see that our shillelahs are of good hickory," the banqueters almost raised the roof. When William Randolph Hearst said that he would use every "power and resource" In his power to bring about a Democratic victory and characterized Theodore Roosevelt as a "harlequin of politics" there was another explosive outburst. But when Champ Clark, the speaker of the house, called attention to the harmonious action of the Democratic majoritj In the lower ouse of congress and the results they had achieved, and set it up as an example for the party to follow, the climax of the Dimocratic optimism 01 the occasion was reached. When Mr. Bryan, who spoke last, predicted a revolution of political 1 iction at the polls next November md appealed without any suggestion ;ts to who should be the standard bearer for a united Democracy he was given a welcome that rivaled the Dvations of his early campaigns for die presidency. Wood row Wilson was received 1 when he arose to speak with pro- ' longed cheers. lie discussed the tar- 1 Iff and other issues, but his refer- ' mce to the currency question awakened the greatest interest. Judge Alton B. Parker was the ' first speaker to make direct rerer- 1 mce by name to Former President : doosevelt. 1 Ho called the assault on the trusts 'a cheat and nasty fraud." "The statement of Roosevelt that ;he trust law was impotent was un;rue, and you lawyers know that," ' le said. "I charge now?and when ] ;ho opportunity is presented and I im asked for facta and flgurea I will )rore it?that all of his tirade igainst the law, the courts and the States was to attract attention away 'rom the truth and that erory bit of ho responsibility for the conditions oday rests upon the Republican pary." Gov. Folk of Missouri who folowed Judge Parker, declared that 'the Democratic party never had a letter opportunity for public service han now." "Passing Plutocracy." Mr. Bryan, who spoke last, dismissed "The Passing Plutocracy." Nothing that he said awoke so nuch applause as his poetic perioraion quoted from Byron. This is vhat Mr. Bryan said: 'The dead have been awakened? shall I sleep? Pho world's at war with tyrants? shall I crouch ? rho harvest's ripe?and shall I pause to reap?" 'I slumber not?the thorn is in my couch. 5ach day a trumpet soundet.h in my ear ts echo in my hear' " Referring to poliiical affairs, Mr. Iryan characterized the movement or popular election of senators as he greatest national reform of the veneration and he urged elimination ' >i ine parnsan issue tnax nas noon njected into the controversy on that mint, asserting that neither of tlie r ireat parties could hope to win a onstitutional victory unaided. Mr. Bryan begged Democrats and 1 tepublicans to agree upon a wording ( if the resolutions providing for such ' mpular election which will purge the ( ssue of partisanship. TTe indorsed v he direct primary and urged its ap- 1 ilication to national elections in ev- f ?ry State in the Union. "I congratulate the Democratic iongress," said Mr. Bryan, "on the ecord it is making. Tt is earning the 1 mnfHenoe of the nation.

BLKA&H DENOTJNCKS TIIICM AS A SET OV DIRTY LIAB& III* Slash Qua Was la Splendid Workliif Order and lie Slimee Them All Over. In a special message to tno General Assembly Wednesday a *.*01110:1nying his veto of i bill passed at the last session of the Legislature per mitting newspapers in case of libel suits to plead in mitigation of damages the fact that ccr/o3tloa of ihe libel complained of had been made, Governor Ulease bitterly assailed the presu of South Carolina, and wai especially ferocious in bis assaults upon the Columbia State and its editor, although he branded the whole tribe of newspaper men in this State as a dirty set of liars. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says the message with exhibits attached corors fifteen typewritten pages. The word "lie" appears some 33 times, "liar" 8 tlmss, and intermixed at frequent intervals r,r? such choice epithets as "falsehood," " vituperation," "slander," "scurrilous attacks," "dirty," "cowardly," "ass&asin-liko," "slime," "Infamous," "blackguard," "lowdown," "unscrupulous," "malicious" and "contemptible." Tho Governor recites a long list of stories which he says have been printed about him In one newspaper or another during the last year, such, for example, as the Winthrop College matter, the Incident of the alleged insult to a young lady of his being drunk and stopping at a "blind tiger" on the way to his inauguration, tho Langdon Cheves story, the alleged caning of a negro in Cleveland, the liquor constable who was accused of selling liquor, and particular tho matter of tho Cromer story published by th? Columbia State on the eve of the second primary in the campaign of 1910. All of these he pronounces dirty lies. "There are many other infamous and dirty lies that * could call your attention to," says the message, "but these, I feel, are sufficient to show you that these dirty editors, assassinlike, strike their victim in the dark and from behind, and then, when seen on the streets, dodge, to keep from meeting the man whom they hare lied about; and, of course, he who is thus insulted, cannot go into the office and shoot the dirty editor, for your Courts hold that no words will justify a blow, and here you wish to allow a man to publish a lie and have seven days in which to cool off and apologize for it, after all the injury has been done and when tliey cannot require or have all parties who read the lie, to read the apology; hence, the injury is done and cannot he remedied by apology; yet, if a man shoots another in sudden heat md passion, after reading one of the dirty slanders, your beloved and highly learned Couits say that it is 'manslaughter,' or possibly, as no words justify a blow, 'it is murder.' " The shooting of Mr. N. G. Gonzales by Lieutenant Governor Tillman is referred to, although no names are jailed, and the Governor paints a picture of the prisoner, following a veriict of not guilty, ' leaving the Court [louse with the endorsement of the aw of his State as having done well 'or himself, his family and Ills felow citizens." Reference is made to a "newspaper :rust" embracing tke Charlotte Oblerver, the Columbia State and vari>us up-country dailies: 801113 of the statements made by Governor Bleaso oeing unprintable by The News ancf Courier under the decisions of South Carolina Courts. :o he secured to tho people by tho reluction that are being attempted." Speaking of the future work of congress Mr. Rryan made a plea ror he immediate declaration of the naion's purpose on the Philippine quesion, adhering to tho Democratic platform of promise of independence. In speaking of the approaching campaign as one giving promise of ictory to the Democratic party, Mr. Iryan warned his hearers "that at his time when the whole country is ilive with progressive sentiment it vi 11 be criminal folly for our party to 'alter in its onward march or to ihow cowardice in the face or the powerful enemy which is drawn up n battle before us." "As much as we may he interested n the tariff question," he continued, 'we must not ignore (he menace of he trusts. While they hold the hills ihove us with their heavy artillery ve can not hope to fight successfully vithin the range of their guns.

Robert Llde, senator from Oraugeburg, doubted that there was a pres- ji out necessity for an investigation. j, The dispensary has long held the po- | litical limelight in tbls State, and he ^ for one would like to see ic eliminated. j i Niels Chrlstenson, senator from 3, Beaufort, said that the members of 31 the winding-up commission stood un- ji der the stigma of an accusation, and ho thought that they should bo given 31 a chance to pass from under it.

It would be cowardly for tho senate to refuse them a }( hearing. LeGrand G.
