C, June 1 I.?it begins to look ? l!fr.'.o .Ike the state campaign is going to be overshadowed by fire works which are to be cet off about the same time right here in Columbia. John P. Grace, mayor of Charleston, primed the gun and set the fuse in an odltorial he wrote for "Common sense," his weekly newspaper, in which he said things about "graft" In connection with the Charleston liquor situation, and pointed the editorial fingers directly at the governor of South Carolina. Mr. Grace admitted yesterday that he wrote the editorial, saying: "I wrote the editorial in Common Sense regarding the graft conditions In Charleston, and I have no desire to avoid the .responsibility for anything I have said. I am ready to sustain everything that I wrote." The governor don't like that at all, and here's his comment today: I ^If Graco says; thai: I received any graft money he is a liar and a coward. ? "All t^biti Investigation of this mat ter by the committee is a preliminary scheme to Injure me." The governor was real angry when he discussed this affair with certain newspaper men today?who have ac cess to his otl'.ee; all of them have not?and he went right after Grace with the bark off. Indeed, the g0V: ernor sprinkled his opinion of Mr. Grace pretty liberally with that par ticular selection of adjective;. and verbiage characteristic of the governor on more or less frequent occasions. The few words that best describe the; situation are: the governor is some mad. What It's All About. Here's what opened the hostilities: Folks all over the state know the new weekly paper in Charleston call ed "Common Sense" Mr. John P. Grace's paper. A red-hod editorial in that paper told why there had been a split-up between Please and Grace, who were at one time political bed fellows-and in a single bed. at that: they were so close together. The pa per charged in pretty strong terms j thai there had been graft in Charles ton In the handling of the blind-tiger situation: that the governor promised to let Charleston run her blind tigers In her own way. or do away with them in her own way. or handle the situa-1 lion, whatever it was: and he didn't exactly let the city do that. Thereby was released the story. The editorial . made the broad statement that graft could be traced directly to the gover nor's ofllee, and finally Mr. Mayor John; P. Grace, of Charleson. admitting the' authorship of that editorial, and. de claring he Is going to tell it all if the investigating committee subpoenaes him, goes right to the point in a state ment quoting him yesterday, in which he says: "I can prove that graft exists In Charleston, and I will say. as I have stated on several previous occasions, that I can trace the graft to the gov ernor's office In Columbia." Will Suhpoenne Grace Tuesday. Now it begins to look like' the fur is going to fly, and the developments are expected to be forthcoming in a very few days. The legislative investigating com mittee, especially charged with find ing out things about the governor, the old dispensary and everybody connect ed with the "Great Moral Institution," will gather in Columbia again Tuesday morning. and immediately the ad journed session gets down to business, a summons will issue for Mr. John P. Grace. The call of this meeting has been Issued by Mr. H. B. Carlisle of Spar tanburg. chairman of the body. Here's the F.dltorlul. The "Common Sense" editorial, im mediately back of the present situa tion, admitted by Mr. Grace to be his own product, is as follows: * "tiraft and Grafters.*1 "We are publishing on thlfl page a letter written to Governor Please by Mr. Grace about eighteen months ago, It Is the first chapter explanatory of the relations which have grown up be tween these gentlemen. We ask our readers to weigh every word of it, be cause It touches the vital question of their local self government. Peforo Mr. Grace agreed to support Mr. Please, he asked but one question: and that was what did the governor, if elected, intend to do toward restoring to Charleston control over her purely domeslc affairs? His promise was to gtve up.the largest possible measure of freedom; and.upon this assurance'Mr. Graoe exerted..every ..effort toward his election and-toward the defeat of Mr. Featherstone, who had In the most wanton manner, in a speech at Hibern ian Hall during (he campaign, insult ed the people of Charleston by telling1 them that he did not want their votes ?that he was a prohibitionist, and, if elected, that he would do everything in his power to take from Charleston her right to settle the liquor question for herself. For tventy years thl i question has been a thorn In Charles ton's side. She has been foot-balled by every political charlatan who has seen fit to exploit her before the rest of the state, and we leave it to ?very candid judge of present conditions to say whether or not the last condition Is not worse than the first. Purely with the object In view of working out Charleston's salvation in this respect Mr. Grace supported Governor Dleaae, and he took nothing for granted. He exacted a definite promise. This Is manifested in Governor Blease's inau gural mossage. In which he recom mends the relief sought. We leave It also to the people of Charleston to say whether or not invlolatlon of Gov ernor Dlease's promise It was neces sary to put constables here. In spite of Mr. Grace's protests, he did It. He not only put constables here, but im mediately those constables began a system of graft which has never been equaled even In the worst days of the state dispensary. We make this state ment fearless of contradiction. It can not be denied. We hayo traced this graft practically up to the governor himself; and we say that it Is a shame less situation; and back of it all, is Who?
