' ( And bo Wm.Jr. Burns does not wish to come to J^jjjth Carolina without j protection. C'au you blame him? But It Is not from Gpvernor Blouse that he Hliould fear. He should fear the righteous Indignation of every man in this State. Gov. HI ease owes to Win. Hums a debt of grutitude. In tile lust campaign there was a bitter exchange of compliments be tween Blens? and Tom Felder. Tbc latter feared to come to South Carolina to answer to chargea and asked '.he dispensary Investigating comralttef; to come to Auguatl&iGa. The comm ttce finally consented, upon Felder's prcn; ise to illuminate the putrid transac tions of the old State dispensary. Fel der declared that he had evidence that would run Biease off the stump, and more to that effect. *^ Arriving In Augusta, the committee learned that Wm. J. Burns had been engaged to ferret out evidence. This committee woe dealing with the affairs of the old State dispensary?nothing else. When Burns went on the stand Mr. F. M. Cary of thla city, member of the committee, put the point blank question "Have you evidence to con vict Cole. L. Bleeso, while senator of accepting bribes or rebates from the liquor houses." Burns pondered the question and answered deliberately "I have." As Burns] lias been the great mind that had ferreted out so many crimes of national notoriety, his words car ried conviction to the hearts of the comnritfee.'i. They were hardly to blame -for!.'jvtwt followed. As a mat ter of fact Burns never told one thing on iho;ltfe oft Cole. L. Biease. His rae?t.<hsjd some kind of hatched up tale about pardon brokers, etc., which was of course a bad kind of business, if true, but the committee had absolutely nothing to do with that, and there swepWover the State a wave of indlgnatsfn that swept Biease [into office. to.dk. / Burns la respoggible for the belief that wae born oggthe meeting in Au gusta that Biease would be proved a wrong doer, and whan Biease was leajiy^yin^lnatod jigJfrUjg ever heed ^bowqBUHpatXm^Mhc peMH?%??Iw^eif^Pm?Shy ?gdahef* votes to the man who had been on the under side.

Does Not Went To Get Into Le-1 gal Tangle If He Fils Lyceum Engagement at Columbia Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 16.?The old bit terness between Detective William J. Mums and Governor Cole L. Blease of South Carolina has brought up an in teresting complication In Atlanta in connection with the coming south of the ^reat ?'?etective on the Lyceum lecture tour. Burns will lecture in Atlanta Wed-| ncsday night of this week at the Tab ernacle-Auditorium, but he haa writ ten to President Kussel Bridges, of j the lyceum system, declaring that his] Columbia, S. C, date must be can celled unless the Lyceum people will agree to protect him from all financial loss and pay all attorney's fees and travelling expenses In the event South Carolina's governor carries out hiB alleged threat to have Detective Burns arivsted the moment he sets foot on the other side of the Savannah river. The trouble dates back to the time about a year ago .when Detective Burns and his agents secured dicta graph evidence in South Carolina which was used by the opponents of Gov. Blease In an effort to prove that Illeaso was amendable to bribery and that pardoning power was for sale in the Palmetto state. The dictagraph records which Burns* agents procured m the office of e well known lawyer In Spartanburg mode one of the most sensational, political stories in .the south in recent years. Since that time Detective Burns has not been south. According to bis let ter to Mr. Bridges, however, Gov. Blease haa renewed his . declaration that if Burnr ever dares to set foot In South Carolina foe will have him ar rested and it 1b against this contin gency that Burns wants to be protec etd. He is not afraid of physical vio lence. He says he can take care of himself on that score, but he does not want to be Involved in a legal tangle. The situation will be taken up when Mr. Burns arrives in Atlanta Tuesday or Wednesday morning and' Mr. Bridg et will endeavor to arrive at some sat isfactory agreement. Six Broke JaJI.

PEEPLES WRITES ON WATER POWERS Attorney General Says South Carolina Has Been Too Lenient an ra and] Columbia, Feb. 16.--Clalming that [of all states in the union,South Caro lina has been more lenient and less observant of her rights with regard to the natural resources which she possesses and from which Income I ould be derived for the support of her government, the attorney general, re viewing the history of the water sheds i in this state, explains that South I Carolina has allowed private eorpora itions to take up not only her naviga ble streams, but those which are sus |cectiblc to navigation and are naviga ble under the laws of the state, and to appropriate to themselves the water powers situated thereon, "water pc I era which are worth to the state mil ions of dollars, which stand ready to develop all of the necessary power to run all the cotton and other manu facturiiig industries of the state, that stand ready to supply transportation over the railroads, some oi which are in course of construction and will be built between the cities of the state. Mr. Peeples adds: "But forgetful of [the vast amount of money expended with regard to these canals around the shoals and that spent in develop ing water power, tiie state haB, with in the last thirty years, on every I stream within her borders, given away j absolutely or for a mere pittance the moat magnificent water powers pos sessed by any state east of the Missi ssippi and south of the Potomac. The water powers in the middle and up country are being exploited not in be half of the state, and from which.she, will receive' an Income; but Iii behalf of private corporations and that, top, without any regulation and -without any power of the state to fix the price of its use by her citizens and Indus tries, and without a dollar's Income, : save from the taxes derived from the I structures that have been placed upon the works, just as any individual pays who does nofc.Moeivc anything as a do nation from the atate. It Is also apparent that, In a few short years, the water powers which have not beea built upon or called to j the attentionn?? the public in the j southern oart^'of the etato, will come Into notice. It is said by the open ing of the Saotee Canal a large I amount of power can be hydro-elec ,VwsJb- ???relopfld to ffl^ Uf tlfifajKe end clt SVia? HPwtfries.

TOOT-TOOT Railroading toe Approprie lion Bill. Columbia, Feb. 16.?To adjourn or not to adjourn, next Saturday will be the question which will perplex the general assembly. The appropriation bill has been reported to the house by the ways and means committee | and will be taken up Tuesday morn ing for consideration in the houae. *t will probably be passed to third eading Tuesday, night, sent to the senate 'Wednesday morning, given its first reading there and referred to the finance committee of the senate. By working expediently it la possible that the finance committee of the agn ate may be able to report the bill back by Thursday'morning. If this happens it can be taken up for third reading Friday morning and be pann ed by the senate Friday night. If the appropriation bill goes through on the above schedule, which by the way does not allow any time to repair broken brake beams, cool hot boxes or stop at flag stations, it can be en rolled as an act Sautrday morning and sent to the governor. Should the chief executive veto any of Its sections, it is quite probable that they can be acted on by the houae Satur day afternoon and by the nennte Sat urday night, allowing the general as sembly to adjourn sine die after aj whirlwind finish in the early hours] of Sunday morning, February 22. I The legislators will not draw anyl pay after the 21 of February as the 40 days of the regular session will expire, then., For the last two years though the:'general assembly has] found it necessary to prolong the ses sion into March. It is possible that| this may be done this year. Should the general assembly ad-| journ next Saturday morning, much .'progressive- legislation H'iU-^ibo i leK undone.

Two of Senator Sullivan's bills | were tabled in the house last Satur day when the calendar was called for local and uncontested bills. One of the bills provided for increasing ths number of county commissioners of Anderson county from two to .four, i The other bill allowed the school I turstees of the Belton graded school to charge an incidental fee. Mr. Gray's bill to lengthen tho term j of the county superintendent of An derson county from two to four years] was also tabled by the house.
