a Spartanburg audience Governorl
Blease made a viciou* onslaught
apon Dr S C Mitchell, president!
of the State university, at the
time paying extravagant
compliment.* to Dr Henry X Snyder,
president of Wofford college,
at the expense of Dr Mitchell.
What could have inspired Governor
Blease to make this attack
on Dr Mitchell, other than that
he happened to he in Dr Snyder's
home town, is problematical.
They do say, however, that among
college- men Governor Blease's remarks
anent the two college
presidents caused increased respect

KINGSTREE?THE GATEWAY
. TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY, JULY 13. 1911.
An esteemed contemporary very
aptly remarks that State Superin'
tendent of Education Swearingen,
although afflicted with physical
blindness, is the most far-seeing
member of the State Board of education.
. .
In the school book controversy
State Superintendent of Education
Swearingen has put himself on
/ record as favoring the poor man.
Actions speak louder than the
blatant mouthings of a demagogue.
Apropos the pardoning of his
client, Wash Hunter, by Governor
Blease, the Keowee Courier, one of
the most conservative and best edited
of our exchanges, says: "Mr
"Blease is making a record that
stands unique and unparalleled?a
record that he will find it difficult
to square with the ends of justice
and his oath of office."
Several months before the school
book adoption Governor Blease held
the "big stick" over the State Board
of education, threatening to fire the
whole business unless they did his
bidding. That the threat was effect.
.
ive is quite patent in view of the
recent school book adoption. Pity,
for the reputations of the distin-j
f guished gentlemen comprising the
board?or a majority of them, at
least?that thev had n<>t suffered
decapitation before they w e r e
"t imed" by our despotic Governor.
In his speech on July -1 before!
I
and appreciation for tin* distingished,
scholarly gentleman who
is ?t the head of the State unii
versity, while the recipient of the
(ruliernatorial l*>uquet was more
'
embarrassed than elated l?y the
invidious compliment.
=====
It is the poor men with chil.
dren who will suffer the greatest;
hardship by the wholesale change!
of text 1hk)1vs forced on them by
, a majority of the State Board of
J education. Both the Governor and
' the State Superintendent of education
are by virtue of their of1
lice.- niemlvrs of this l?oard and
Jboth, bv the same token, wield
i
great influence in shaping the policy
of the board. .But the Governor's
influence with the ln>ard|
. i< invater because he has the]
his cell and concluded that 'the
man was insane; therefore he
4
commuted his sentence. If Bates
is really insane he should be j
sent to the lunatic asylum, . and
inasmuch as the superintendent
of that institution had pronounced
him sane, it would* complicate
matters somewhat to have a condemned
murderer thus thrust upon (
the institution. Our versatile Governor,
however, has a happy
knack of severing Gordian knots <
that would make his prototype, 1
Alexander the Great, turn green ^
with envy. j

iSuiH-rintendent Swearingen in a
very strong card recently published
protested in no uncertain
terms against the action of a majority
of the l>oard in placing the
burden of purchasing new school
books upon the public school patrons.
Governor Blease takes issue
with the State Sui>erintendent
and defends the action of the
!x>ard. Yet Governor Blease rode
into office as the p*x>r man's
champion.
Governor Blease has commuted
the sentence of John Bates, the
Spartanburg ex-policeman who was
to have K*en hanged July 21 for
the murder of his paramour, a
white woman, in 1909. On a
plea of insanity Bates had l>een
examined by a lunacy commission
headed by Dr J \V Bal?cock,
superintendent of the State insame
asylum. Blease, however,
arrogating to himself superior
knowledge to all alienists, paid

For the past week some citizens of

disturbed every night by a regular
negro pay frolic beginning at dark
and running even into Sunday. While |
