BLEASE SPEAKS DESPITE PROTESTS Bishop Introduces Ex-Governor as Strongest White Man in State Cole L. Blease was the chief speaker at the opening exercises of Allen university, a large negro school in Columbia, despite the protest of Tuesday morning by alumni and former students, who petitioned President Mance and the faculty that the invitation be withdrawn, "as it will greatly embarrass our wives and daughters to have ex-Gov. Blease speak to them, since he has spoken so harshly in the courts and on the stump against the vritues of the negro women and the respect and decency of negroes in general." Mr. mease made no direct reference in his speech to this petition, but the Rev. W. D. Chappelle, D. D., bishop of the African Methodist Epis copal church in this State, who introduced the ex-governor, as "the strongest white man in the State of South Carolina" and one whose pardoning record had removed all sting in things "said on the stump" was somewhat scathing in his denunciation of those who presumed "to dictate the policies of a great church." "Who are they, anyway?" Chappelle asked. Then in answer to his own query he remarked. "They aren't known outside of their own back- i >> tu. JfUllli A. lit?

In asking the ex-governor, he had sougnt, ne said, to get the strongest man in the State. He had gone carefully over the records, careers and deeds of all of the governors of South Carolina, and Mr. Blease, he said easily held first rank. Several pardon cases, where the former governor "by a single stroke of the pen set that negro free," were cited. One of these was that of a 14 year old negro boy sent up for life. The congressional controversy between the negro, George Washington Murray, of Sumter, and a white man, Col. Moise, of the same district, was also reviewed by the bishop in all its ramifications. Later in his speech Mr. Blease reminded the bishop that it was he (Mr. Blease) who had made; Murray the congressman from this | State instead of the white man. Mr. Blease was then a member of the ' canvassing board and cast the dccid-1 inn- vnin "If 1 Un<J ?.U .. ? l t wv'i it * nan ^ wc JUOtlt'C llliet* 1 weeks ago and if the board had been a* honest," he said yesterday, "I would be the next governor of South Carolina." He had always sought, ho said, to do justice to the negro, regardless of his color. Much speculation had been engaged in by the negroes themselves as 1 to the character of the speech Mr. Blease would deliver, but the speaker throughout his discourse spoke guardedly and with moderation. He said he had been misunderstood by the negroes, whom he greeted as "my friends." In politics he had always urged that taxes negroes paid should go to the support of negro schools. School boards, he said, chiseled the negroes out of their just proportion when making apportionment for the schools of the two races Christian citizenship was earnestly commended to the students of the school. "I don't make much profession myself. I have been so hounded, villified and abused that I often go by my own church, refusing to enter, because I know that there are o r> <-1 o/irtim/lralo of JU'WV* * U1MI OVVUMlll V/lO C41/ tltu \ \/IlI I Tnunlon table, who are a disgrace to' 'God Almighty." The students were! -told to "aim high, tell the truth and; to attain the ends of a worthy ambi-: for honesty," and not by slipping books under the desks in the exami-1 nation room or copying information from their cuffs. > "Never Insulted Women." j Referring to the sentiment in the petition, by inference, Mr. Bleasesr.id he had never insulted "a colored girl." "I have never wronged any woman, white or black. Neither have I spoken a word of slander against any woman." A slanderer was denounced as "a most contemptible cur." The ex-governor's attitude toward convicts was somewhat enlarged upon. He sometimes thought, he said, that all penitentiaries, jails and court houses might be abolished. ) What was the'use of these and the church too, ho asked his audience, that applauded his worus with increasing volume, and punctured the unfinished sentences often with con firmation comment. An overruling Providence was held up as the mighty avenger of all wrongs, both political and spiritual, and certain political controversies were enumerated to sustain this assertion, the names of those waonged being tactifully withheld. In urging that the negro students hitch their wagon on a star, the race, just up from slavery, was cordially commended for its entrance into professions and the varied phases of commcrccial life. "You are coming into higher things," they wore told. "They can't hold you back despite what I or any other man may ssay," he said, while the auditorium roared with cheers of approval. B. W. Mance, president of the university, was reared in Newberry county, and the Newberry negro was the choice of Mr. Blease to head the State negro college at Orangeburg, when an attempt was made to oust Miller, the president of that institution, during the Blease administration. Mance himself took occasion at the conclusion of Mr. Bloase's speech to deliver another laudatory speech ' in which he recalled the early efforts of Mr. Blease at the Newberry bar, "when Cromer and Johnstone and Schumpert and Welch and the late lamented Pope were the giants in the legal profession there." These had dwindled into the proportions I of "mere pygmies" in commiHson! with Mr. Blease, before Mr. Blease, was elevated to the governor's chair, I Mance argued. The president of the' school commended the examples of. AT- X> 1 .1 IJI -.1. /-il ill i ~ 1 mi. Dic??oc ciiiu xtioiiu|j v^nujxjjeiit; ?.?.? j the students as worthy of emulation.

C.?Many and many a farmer in South Carolina is practicing the same methods that his father and grand-father before him used. But why use old time methods when old time fertility is gone. There was a time when about all a farmer had to do in this State, was to tickle the earth with a hoe and it woulu burst into a smile of golden grain and fruit or fleecy staple, but that was when every field was virgin soil. Now our soils are exhausted, they have been robbed of their plant food, so when we go forth to sow we must| do more than merely tickle the earth; we must plow deep; we must rotate i crops; we must apply modern methods suitable to modern conditions and not depend too much on fertilizers to make up for deficient plant food. If cood methods are nraet.icod con-: ? * i sistently, we can soon bring our depleted soils back to their old time ( productiveness; and having by that' time learned the lesson taught by "robber crops" and "robber systems," we can, by a continunace of those' good farm practices, keep the land productive. Don't be behind the times in your system of farming. Look around1 you and see what the men in your' neighboring communities and coun-| ties are doing. If they are prosperous and you are not, study their methods and put them into practice on your farm, for you may rest assured that in most cases it will b^ the methods they use that make their land better and their farms pay more. o NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the decree and judgment of the court made by his Honor Mendel L.

Harry Hochotto Duped Leading Frenchmen in Bucket Shop Operations HIGH OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN CASE Has Served as Motorcyclist Since First Month of the War. Paris.?The disappearance of the noted Harry Rochette, who was sentenced to three years imprisonment i.1 1912 in connection with vast bucket shop swindles, has been cleared up by his arrest at Granville today. Under the name of Georges Bienaimee, Rochette enlisted in Paris as a motorcvclist in th?> fitvaf mnntL H*** r k/v invaivii \J ft tUC war and was stationed at Amicus. The Rochette case was one of the most sensational in the history of the French courts. Rochette was arrested in 1908 charged with swindling on an enormous s.-a!e. His operations involved a sum of more than $20,000,000 and at his subsequent trial it was stated that some of the most prominent men in French public life had been either his dupes or accomplices. A parliamentary inquiry was made into charges that Antonnie Monis, former premier, and Joseph Caillaux, former minister of finance, were exerting their influence to protect the promoter. Went to Mexico. Rochette disappeared while out on bail and succeeded in reaching Mexico, where, it was said, he was welcomed by Francisco Madero, the Pres ident, to whom he was reported to have rendered valuable services. The French government demanded his extradition, but Rochette was warned in time and made a sensational escape from the police. Since that time his whereabouts have been unknown. rri n?L.ii. ... a lie rwcnetce case was revived in 1914 when Gaston Chalmete, editor of The Figaro, was shot to death by the wife of M. Caillaux. The shooting was the result of violent attacks, made on Caillaux in The Figaro and among the charges brought by Salmete was the old scandal of the former minister's alleged connection with Rochette. 1 4) Not True Blue.
