Ho Says That (the Governor is on
^ Good Terms With Big Kail road Officials,
and That is How He Got
Contradictions to Certain Affidavits
From Kaiiroad Employees,
Rising to a question ot personal
privilege just before the adjournment
o* the morning session ot' the house
W
Thursday J. 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

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. '
"South Carolina is calling today '
for some one to speak out In defense
of her fair name, and protest against 1
the unparalleled oegradation that is '
being heaped upon her by the man 1
M who occupies the chief executive's
office, and, cost 1110 what it may, I

"Before I go further, however, I

nor has made the charge to you i
j^tbat I lied when I published tho account
of his alleged incivility to tlie 1
young lady ticket agent, and he has j
produced a letter signed by her, j
which, on the face of it, seems to '
substantiate his claim. When once I
you understand how he secured the i
letter, though, you will understand *
a little better the cowardly, under- i

"(Governor Hlease, for reasons of l
which you are doubtless aware, is l
the pet of certain oflicials of the Southern

New'berry on December 2 0, 1910, <
^ the governor made the statement (
that because of Supt. Henry A. WIN r
Hams' friendship for him, the South- ,
orn road would have warm friends i
in the governor's oflice for the next
two years. Not content with his
assurances of friendship, however, |
jjt'ter he had assumed his duties as j
governor, It. I.?. Ahney, the Southern's
division counsel for South Carolina,
took up his residence at the
governor's mansion
"Are you * then surprised that
tthon the governor, in an unguard- (

courteous manner and treated a lady i

when the public v as acquainted of (

one from one of the best known clt- i

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

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. Tn the mat- 1
or of the tariff the country is rapidly c

Slash Qua Was la Splendid

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. The

After its passage, the governor saw j j
fit to veto it. He said thai W. II. i .

tion of the bill was obnoxious to the
governor and if Una was eradicated t
he would sign it. This was elimi- j

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. The u
senate would not be just to itself if
it did not give these men a chance to

men were conscientious in that they n
did their t'uly as they saw it. -j <
W. J. Montgomery, senator from 35
Marion, said that the charges pre- 3 5
ferred by the governor stand, and
that they should either be proved or 35
disproved. Until then tlie winding- 3;

on their characters.
W. L. Mauldin. senator from

but th? charges are such 3<
that 110 honest man would want to 3*

for tho senate to refuse them a }(

can not rest under the charges as
are preferred. They should be given
a chance to clear themselves. Tho

:ure In statuary hall. It la pointed
t that inasmuch as the lUne Grass
ite was the birthplace of the two
eat leaders of the civil war, it
uld with propriety place statues of
th Lincoln and Lavis in the Mall
Fame.
Another thing that authors of tho
&a have in mind is a test of na>nal
sentiment. They say it is doired
on all sides that bitterness
<1 rancor growing out of the interite
struggle has disappeared. ff
Is is so, the statue promoters point
t there will be no opposition to tho
ssihility of Kentucky's placing
\tuos of its two great dissenting
us sitle by side in the Hall of Fame.
This would symbolize more than
y other thing, it is declares, tho
snppearance of the old "war spir"
The Kentucky legislature is now
session and maj act upon tho
it' o proposal within a month.
