Mr. Editor:-I will thank you or space in your paper~ to give y ve.rdiet. Did you ever hear SO much talk about Blease to ot prove a wordB You inotice very man who writes against clease leaves hims~elf on the utside. If Blease has been such an audacious man for t wo years, it does look to me like they could go and swear these hings and sign their testimony nd talk Blease (down. No. he has been the most ter ible governor that ever has been, to listen to some. If he has done all these things to you and others, and vou never said ai word for two long years. I woul1d not believe it myself, wouild v ou: Her' comies Felder, and he is out of South Caio ina. If I were going to blow a man I would comec to the statE were the man lived and gc over the counties with my head up it I was telling the~ trth, and so Would any ther honesi Theni they say he pardoned M man . Yes. he- did, and lhe had good reasons for it. God' own wvord says it is better that 99 guilty should go) unpunishe& han that one innocent mar jshould suffer. Put yourself in Blease's shoes. then put yourself in the othei man's shoes, do you think you could beat it? You would be like me. you would play wild. Watch Blease carry his homE I countv. I have seen men who were raised close to him, and they are every one for him. I am not kicking at Mr. Jones, for some of my best friends are for him, but I see nothing to keep me from say ing hurrah for Blease. R. K. Lewis. (\r. Lewis will excuse us. We do not want to get ico Gov. Blease's shoes, nor the other fellow's either. especial lv while Blease is governor, as no pardon could be had. "No Jones man need appl.-Ed.") Pardons by Blease Having heard so much about the pardons by Gov. Blease, and that he has said that the judges and solicitors recommended a great number of them, I secur ed what is call -d his "book on pardons for one year." It is his report to the general assembly and contains his pardons with his reasons for the same. After looking over it hastily, I noticed that about 70 were pardoned. Of these 70, the judge and solicitor signed about 10, and they sepa rately signed about 10 more, in all making about 20 out of 70 signed by either or both of them There were 247 paroles. Of this number, the judge and solicitor together signed about 25, and separately about 20 more, mak ing in all about 45 out of 247. This will show that the judges and solicitors, either or both, signed petitions for 65 of the en tire 317 pardoned or paroled. This leaves 252 released by the governor without the recom mendation of either the judge or solicitor. In a number of in stances I notice that some of the jurymen siged the petaion, In other cases were words like this: 'After carefully reviewing the case I decided that the prisoner had been sufficiently punished andl the law vindicated, etc." This shows that most of Gov. Blease's pardons and paroles were not signed by the judge or solicitor, but by some of the Iiu rors or others, and that many were signed upon his own no tions. When the jurors try a case they are under oath to ren der a yerdict according to the evidence and law. When they sign a petition they are under no such oath and are likely to sign it through some versonal influence brought to bear or through a desire to favor some oe. Such a petition is not suf ficient reason for the governor to set aside the decisions of our courts and jurors, rendered un der oath, and the laws of our legislators. It is very easy to get a petition from people when they are not under oath. But the governor is bound all the time under a solemn gath to dle fend and execute the 4iws. I dont remember sf the governor complaining in his [Emessage to the legislature that the law by which sentence is passed was wrong, but from the nurn ber of pardons granted, one would cer tainly think that the governor views it that way. If such is the desire of the people, then let us have the law changed, jabol ishing our criminal laws and the courts. If such is not the wishes of the neople, then let us elect as governor a man who will not allow his sympathies to extend only to the criminal class I think this is one of the govern or's greatest mistakes. True, he does pardon some, as all gov erors do, that the mass of the people would think justifiable if they understood the nature of the case, but to b)e so 9leaiient in excting the law; as I look at it, is en couraging crime among a cerIta1in (lass of people. It also appears that Governor Blase is at varience with every branch of our government. This should not be so. It shows that he is not a good leader and head of our government. It is true that men sometimes have differ ences of opinions, but to be at varience with every branch of our govern..ent would indicate that our whole government is wrong or the governor is wrong. Governor Blease represents only those who support' them. and instead of being gdyernor f the whole State, he says he i governor of *his friends only.' How any honest man can sup ort a man of that principle, I cannot see. I will never vote for any man w~ho makes the man that differs with him an enemy. It is an insult to a man of character and honesty to ask a favor and say, "I voted for vnu "' et that is the ground on which Blease grants fnvers Do the- people wvant a governri who with such a incipl 'ii vides the peOPle of our State I would as soon Bleauc b- 10 v ernor as an vone else if I emil,] see his admini sratii to bL the best. I ha ve never placed that confidence in him. His rcIu does not deserve oe t cn (1fideit Let us all set a.zi: all manhnr of contention and consider very carefulhN the best inteiests of our State and to that end cast 1 our ballot. with no bitternes fr difference of opinion. TI if Blease should be leen-l, alh oppose him may be :uiit an. stand as s':rfs, while the bo ;t V goes to his supporters. I am led to believe that ver, few consider Blease a stron, statesman, nor anything al ut his manner of business winning. but many become enthusiast le for him because he is fight ing the other fellow and wdvocating certain econoimonv in conn tion with our institutions of higher learning and special jutdg - es. While 1 favor economy in these matters, how can we hou for any profit or credit to the State with such a man as Blease for governor? I am for Jones. His long aid faithful service always com manded the support of our pres ent governor. Now. because Jones in a spirIt of patriotism opposes him, the governor tries to lead us to believe otherwise of Jones' life record. Let ever ything be said that can be, his record of long service without one stain upon his life as a pub lic servant recolmuends Judge Jones to the confidence of the people. Matthew Hendricks. That Railroad. Many of the most prominen t people living along the G. &. K. railroad believe ti at there should be a railr-oad from Mariet ta to Anderson. it is believed that the people of Pickens.
