An Unjust Suspicion.
As stated frequently before in
this column, while we do not
entirety endorse Governor Blease's
ideasof statesmanship or his political
standards, at the same time we
desire to treat him with absolute
fairness and out of respect for the
high office he holds, to go even
?,v '"" ^beyond the requirements of strict
ju8tic*i^in casting the best light
possible upon his official actions
and utterances.
We reproduced last week an
eiitoriaf article from the Columbia
State concerning the Ware
Shoals incident?a news story pub/
lijhed recently in the Charleston
News and Courier vto the effect
L' that the cotton mill employees
A at Ware Shoals had demanded a
holiday from the management on
r May 18 in order to hear Govf
ernor Blease speak. Commenting
on this news item The State
published a letter from the assistant
treasurer of the Ware Shoals
mills stating in substance that the
report that their operatives had
Viali.lnTr (in \ffll- 1,^ to
^ ^ttouwqucu U??W?J v.. |
hear Governor Blease speak, or
for any other purpose, was injfc.
correct; that '.he managers had,
ever since May 1, posted a notice at
the mills giving holiday on May
18, without any solicitation on
the part of the employees. From
this letter The State newspaper
rather broadly hinted that the
data upon which this misleading
article was based emanated from
the Governor's office -which was
really not a far-fetched conclusion.
|
I
JJonday's issue of The State
carries, however, a lengthy article
reviewing the Ware Shoals incident
and the aftermath. This
article contains a letter from the
News and Courier's Columbia correspondent
naming as his informant
Mr B F Taylor, a well-known,
prominent business man of Columbia,
who says that he got
the information on the train
from B D Riegel, the president
of the Ware Shoals mills, who
lives in Jersey City, New Jersey;

Governor Riease broke bis own
record Monday, pardoning fourteen
penitentiary convicts at a clip. He
must have been feeling very good
indeed that day.
"Read the Abbeville Medium and
l>e happy," quoth that enterprising
contemporary in a recent issue.
Wo should think a happy Medium
ought to be conducive to happiness
among its readers.
The editors will lie on the rampage
grazing in pastures green
around the capital this week, and,
later on, they hie themselves on th?
rolling deep, lx>und for giddy Gotham
with its glimmer and its strife.
We wish we could be with them,but
physically and financially we are
unable to spell "able."
When all the inmates of the State
prison have been turned loose on
society, what will his excellency do
then to show his sympathy towards
the depraved classes?turn Ins attention
to the county jails and
chaingangs? It would simplify
matters considerably and save the
State great expense to grant immunity
before trial, or even indulgence
l>efore the crime be committed.

? - ' ^" 1
we neitner Know nor is a psrui-ularly
our concern.
What is more important to us,
and the main object of this article,
i9 to correct the unjust suspicion attached
to Governor Blease's office in
implying that the false data?if it
be false?originated there. Frankly,
we thought it extremely likely
that the suspicion was well-founded,
but in the light of the evidence subsequently
adduced it seems that in
this instance the suspicion was unjust,and
we cheerfully make amends
for falling into the error.
We wish everything derogatory to
the Governor's office that has appeared
in print since his inauguration
could be as satisfactorily cleared
up and set at naught.
Isn't it rather significant that the
sweet girl graduates of Converse
College have chosen a Bacheller to
address them?
The estimated cotton acreage for
this season is thirty-five million
bales. Just suppose it produced a
bale to the acre!
that Mr Riegel told him (Taylor)
that some of the employees of the
mill had informed the management
that if they were not given
|
holiday on May 18 to hear Governor
Blease speak they would
not report for work on that day.
As a news item Mr Taylor passed
this on to the News and Courier's
correspondent.
To further complicate the matter,
The State prints a telegram
from James T MacEnroe, the assistant
treasurer of Ware Shoals
mills, re-iterating and emphatically
re-affirming his previous statement
that the holiday was given
' i ?1 *11 ?i! x
voluntarily oy tne nuns, wunout
solicitation on the part of anyone,
and that no reference was made
to the picnic or to the Governor's
speaking.
It is very evident that either
Mr Riegel's statement to Mr Taylor,
or Mr Taylor's statement to
the News and Courier's correspondent,
or Mr MacEnroe's disclaimer
printed in both the News
and Courier and The State, is
untruthful. Who is responsible
for the incorrect statement that
| brought about the controversy,

Nesmith.May 29:?Six week* and'
two days without a rain is our rec-1
[>rd. Needless to say it is dry, i
but crops are looking as well as
could he expected.
Messrs Henry James, B S and T
S Nesmith, three of our "local
sports," attended the picnic at
Benson Saturday.
"WhippoorwiH" is laid up with a
broken collar-bone at this writing,
caused by being kicked by a horse
Friday (unlucky day).
Several of the young folk
around here are taking in the commencement
exercises at the Union
High school at Rome this week.
Mr Earnest Tallevast of Florida
is spending some time at his old
home here.
A quiet but very beautiful home
wedding was solemnized here Wednesday
afternoon, May 24, the contracting
parties being Mr Van D
Harper of Choppee and* Miss Rosa
Tallevast of this place. Rev H C
Haddock, the bride's pastor, performed
the ceremony.
At 3:30 o'clock the bride and
the groom, unattended, entered the
parlor, which was very tastily and
beautifully decorated with flowers,
ferns and potted plants, the color
scheme being green and white.
The bride carried a large bouquet
of bride's roses, and was very becomingly
attired in a tailored traveling
dress of blue silk, trimmed?
oh, well, being a man and a bachelor
at that, I don't know how it
was trimmed. Suffice to say the
bride looked very pretty, and the
groom never looked happier or
handsomer.
After the ceremony the guests
were ushered into the dining-room,
where refreshments were served.
Quite, a number of nice presents attested
the popularity of the couple.
About 4:30 o'clock, amid congratulations,
best wishes and showers
of rice, the happy couple left for
Georgetown and other points. After
several days they will be "at
home" to their friends at Choppee, ?
where Mr Harper holds a responsible
position with the Messrs Munnerlyn.
The writer, along with their hosts
of friends, wish for them a long life
of happiness, peace and joy.
