J' Mayor Grace ot C harleston in ins reply t<? Gov Mease's statement that ] lie (Grace)had preferred his charges', of graft liecause lie had not lieen ! permitted to eontrol the dispensary j. eonstahulary in that city, takes up . the cudgels and chastises the Gov. 1 ernor (?) in a very severe yet l?e? coining style in the Charleston Sun( dav News. Referring to the collection of graft l>y the constables, Mayor (J race says: I "That they collected it is now beyond dispute. I estimate that in the last eighteen months Stothart has collected about sixty thousand 1 dollars. If he has kept it all, lie is , a very rich man and he can at once disprove that he has transmitted it ' to Blease by showing his hank book. When he got the job he was not j only poor but, as the records will show,his house was mortgaged for a ' comparatively small amount. He , had no other property. It ought to l?e very easy for him to show that 5 he did not give this money to Blease < by showing that he has kept it him- , self. Either one thing or the other is certain." ] Some time ago Mayor Grace said lie could trace graft taking to the < Governor's office. Now when .we consider the fact that Stothart,chief i constable, and chief grafter, by his ) own intimation, and so proven by an overwhelming preponderance of i evidence produced on several ocea- ] sions,is a Iwsom friend of Blease,? < so close a friend as to have at times been a lied-fellow, does it not reasonably follow that they are as one, and of the same kind?

A stranger who "dropped"' oil' of i train at Kingstree some weeks ago md has lieconie enthusiastically in love with the town and her citizens reniarked a few days ago: "If there ire any real mean people in Kingstree, I'll l?et they come herefrom Florence or Georgetown." At WinnslHiro Monday, Cole L Blease called for a hand primary at the conclusion of his speech. Judge < - i -i. .. r ..... lOIlCS esuiliaU'U inai <'uv111ir? 1 of the audience held up their hands. Mease realized that his followers were vastly in the minority and again called "all of my Friends to hold up your hands," then the unscrupulous and unsophisticated element of his followers each held up l?oth hands, which apparently gave hini "harely half" of the audience. That's what we call "hand graft", but any old kind jf graft suits Blease. ? i Several weeks ago a gentleman from Leo called at our office, paid up his subscription ? hack dues? irwl ordered The Record stoDDed. He also informed us that we were losing a great many subscribers in liis section of the county on account _*f The Record's criticism of and opposition to Cole L Blease as Governor of South Carolina. Since the revelations by the aforesaid gentleman we expected to see our list of -ubscril?ers at Leo and Venters dwindle away in singles and pairs, but instead we have added new names and his prophecy has thus far miscarried. In our fight against Blease we have the honest conviction that we are defending the honor of the State, the supremacy of her laws and the integrity of her people, let come what may. A Query.

XXX | Mrs Parke Walker, age 22, and j the mother of two childrep, com mitted suicide at her home in Car hart village near Rock Hill Satur day morning by gashing her throat with a razor. She stated before dying that she did it because hei husband had accused her of unfaithfulness and threatening to take the children from her and at the time of the deed was away setting a conveyance to take them. Sentiment prevailing in the village seems to be with the woman and those who have known her long believe her a good woman. On the other hand,Walker bears the reputation of being worthless, and it is said he had been repeatedly ordered by the mill manager to stay away from the village where Mrs Walker was earning the living for herself and children. *5" * - _ . ?1 51 Al t and utrNnrcAL, r * TOPICS J; ,t: rr rr. rr rr nr rr rr rr rr nr nr Capt J Washington Williams, a Confederate veteran, died at his home near Clinton, S C, Monday in the 80th year of his age.
