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?

viped off her itolitical map. It is
inie for South Carolina to banish
I
lie political banditti and restore
lerself to her old position as a State
>f ehivalric ideals and knightly
eaders.?Baltimore Sun .
Blease ought to he ashamed to
use the word "lie'' after heing
aught in so many hv Mayor Grace.
But, really, there are some jn-ople
who know no shame.

Now that Kingstree is in the line

school building, lovely residences
unl lieautiful streets, let's push

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

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.

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.

| 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.
