Lauren^ ^ GOVERNOR BLEASE DEFENDS STATE Replies Characteristically to Uncom plimentary Enquirer in Reno?.Mat ter Ringes on the Divorce Law. Columbia, April 1.?Governor Blease received Saturday a letter from Neva da which aroused his Indignation nnd brought forth a characteristically pic turesque reply. His correspondent, writing from Reno, said ho and others were trying to "clean up things" at Ueno, in respect to the divorce indus try and in consequence this State bad been openly attacked in the legislative debates, a leader in tbe Nevada as sembly going so far as to say that "the State of South Carolina, on ac count of its public immorality, occa sioned by the absence of divorce, bad been cor.meiled to cect a large asy lum for the maintenance of illegiti mate children." South Carolina's standard of mo rally Governor Blease replied "Is hlvher than that of any other State in the union." Tbe governor de nounces as absolutely false, mean and malicious the statement quoted In re spect to a State asylum for illegiti mate children. "South Carolina," says Governor niease. "has no divorce law and her people are very proud of the fact." The Correspondence. The very interesting correspondence on the subject follows: Nevada Realty and Finance Com pany, Anderson building.

C: My Dear Sir: We are in a hot fight out here In this Western country concerning easy divorce. We are li ving to clean* up i things out here organize a course of> lectures and 1 enclose card descrip- \ tive thereof. Also send you under separate cover copy of my lecture and the attack upon me by one of the newspapers here, all of which will bring good results. An attack has been made by the legislature here upon South Carolina, as I understand, your state grants no divorces. I have timber interests in the South and know the high grade of citizenship and morality that ob tains in your State. One of the lead ers in the legislature told me yester-1 day that the State o; South Carolina Jon accoi nt of Its public Immorality occasioned bv the absence of dhorce, had been compelled to erect a large asylum fur the malntenanie of illegiti mate children, and I write this let ter to Inquire If that is a truthful statement. Would it be too great a favor to ! ask you to write me briefly it the , absence of divorce in your State tends to immorality. Thanking you for the courtesy of an answer, I beg to remain, Very sincerely yours. D. F. W. Smith. The Governor's lie ply. Mr. I). l ord Smith, Anderson Build ing, Reno. Nevada. Dear Sir: Your letter of .March :.'."> received. South Carolina lias no divorce law. and her people arc very proud of the fact. The betrayal of the virtue of one of her women means (h ath. The standard of her morality is higher than that Of any other State in the American union, and the statement that she has an orphan home for ille gitimate Children is absolutely false. There may be some institutions of the kind in the State, but the State her self lias no such institutions, and the assertions sot out in your letter as to such statements being made in your State are mean and maliciously false. Very respectfully. Cole Ij, Blease, Oovcrnor. Columbia, April i. ?Greenville News.
