GOVERNOR BLEASE SCORES COL. FELDER Apparently Greatly Pleased at flic Tarn of Events in Atlanta where Felder Js in Hot Water. Columbia, May 24.?Thos. Ii. Folder, the Atlanta attorney, now charged with alleged bribery in Atlanta, <!a., waa excoriated this morning by Gov ernor Cole L. Dlease. The Govornor also refers to W. F. Stevenson, rep resentative from Chcstertleld, and former Attorney General J. Fr?ser Ly on, as well as H. B. Carlisle, Senator from Spartan burg county, who was chairman of the dispensary Investi gating committee, that took the Burns Felder detectives to Augusta last sum mer. Governor's statement. Governor Mease's dictated inter view follows: "I do not see that It Is necessary for me to give out any interview or to have anything to say. it is not in side my State and I do not suppose anybody that knows Tom Felder would be surprised if he is guilty or if this is a scheme worked up by him :o get a little cheap notoriety and ad vertisement. However, I presume that tho members of the Atlanta Bar will irnmeditely furnish certificates of Character for their darling Tommy, and show that he Is above suspicion and a- gentleman of the highest char acter, with an unbelunlshed reputation as a man and attorney, and If a Court of Georgia should order his arrest that Gen. Anderson will forthwith call out the militia and have him released, as Gen. Anderson, his former partner and life-long friend, knows of his character and reputation and will not for a moment allow his Tommy to be itcrfered with, and I nin satisfied 'hat poor little misled Joe Brown has had his pardon clerk already fixing up a release for bis innocent darling In case of any conviction. And as a matter of course, the gUttCI'-Snlpca who went over to Augusta from South Carolina will hurry to offer their services to go sweet Tommy's bond, and a'so to appear in tho Courts, along with Seaboard Bill and Iiis friend. .1. Fr?ser Lyon, who have heretofore been bis bosom friends in hils defence?all save Chairman Car lisle, who. I suppose, will be too busy ?Moseying" to leave his own State just now. "Consoqmntly all will be well. Birds of a feather Mock together, and of course, if tho lead buzzard rings his boll the congregation will assem ble." Felder Well Known. Thos. B. Folder is well know throughout South Carolina. As attor ney for the Ansel dispensary winding up com in; iflion hO secured the cvldcnc which resulted In over $600,000 being recovered to the State from liquor houses which had overcharged the old Stiitc dispensary. After Qovemor Bloase came Into oiiice and the Ansel commission wore fired a warrant charging Felder with having attempt ed to make a "frame-up" with H. H. Kvans, of Newborry, to sell liquor to tho State dispensary while IS vans was on the board was taken out In New berry and a reward was offered for the arrest of Col. Felder. Requisition papers drawn on Governor Brown, of Georgia, by Governor Blease for Col. Felder were refused. The N'ewberry grand jurj returned a "no bill' in this case later on. Col. Folder's charges against Gov. Blease and his sensational letters to the press of South Carolina promis ing to write a book on the Governor, and finally his employing of Detec tive William .1.
