REPORTER GETS CHARACTERISTIC
INTERVIEW-ASSAILS
SMITH ET AL.
The New York Herald of Saturday's
issue contains the following
interview with Governor Cole L
Blease:
"Govemoi Cole L Blease of South
Carolina, wh > recently was defeated
l as a candidate for United States
Senator, is seeing New York. He
was at the Waldorf-Astoria with
Mrs Blease yesterday and asserted
that time passes so fast in this city
that he does not know how long he
has been away. He came North to
attend the Great 1 Council of Red
Men in Portland, Me.
"Nothing to say," he said when
asked for an interview. "I'm just
up here to have a good time with
^ the boys."
* But after he had talked to Mrs
Blease he bitterly assailed Senator
Smith, his successful opponent; President
Wilson and William G McAdoo,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Senator Smith, he said, was re-elected
by false representations, and he
declared President Wilson and Mr
McAdoo admitted that they had deceived
the Southern States in the
matter of financing the cotton
growers.
^ Governor Blease, who freed several
convicts and hopes to free more
before he goes out of office at the
end of next January, and who fa
vored the lynching or negroes ior
attacks on white women, is slightly
built, with black hair and mustache.
DIAMONDS ADORN THE GOVERNOR.
He wore a gray suit, a broad
brimmed black soft hat, a very red
bow tie and a pink striped silk shirt.
In that shirt was a diamond, screwed
in tightly. There were diamonds
in his cuff links and a ring flashed
. on a finger of his left hand.
P In the top pocket of his coat there
hung something that looked like a
medal, but on close observation it
proved to be the key to his apartment,
No 551. In the couise of
the talk I had with him he was asked
by Mrs Blease to hasten things
as she was hungry and wanted to go
to a theat-e.
"There's the real Governor of
South Carolina," said Mr Blease.
She's red-headed. You know by
that she is Governor."
Mrs Blease smiled and suggested
haste to her husband. He was aski

ed what he intended doing after his
term as Governor expired.
"I intend to return to the praci
tice of law," answered the Governor.
"To the practice of criminal law,
which I love. But when the next
vacancy occurs in the United States
Senate I expect to be elected to the
place."
DICTATES A STATEMENT.
By that time Mrs Blease was the
more anxious for her dinner and the
theatre. However, Governor Blease
had changed his mind, decided tc
give a statement and dictated the
following:
"The man whom 1 opposed for the
Senate is called 'Cotton' Smith. He
claims that ha raised the price in the
cotton market. On the campaigr
for his re-election he told the cotton
farmers that if he were re-elected
he would raise the price of cotton
to 15 cents, and that he'd guarantee
that the United States Governmenl
under the Wilson administration, bj
virtue of the currency law, would
supply farmers of South Carolinj
with a sufficient amount of monej
to market their cotton crop or that
they could put it in a cotton ware
house and that they would be loaned
at I2h cents a pound, sufficient mon
ey to meet their running obligations
"Of course every sensible man ir
South Carolina knew that that was
a lie. Since his re-election cottor
has gone lower and now he and hit
Democratic colleague in the United
States Senate publicly proclaim thai
* - - the
cotton farmers need no longer
look to the National administrator
for help, but must depend upor
their States. I notice even so late
as today Senator Simmons of Nortl
Carolina announced in a conference
of Congressmen and Senators front
cotton growing States that the Na
tional Government could not be
depended upon to give any relief
and that the farmers should no longer
be deceived,but should know thai
they need not expect help from thai
source, which shows that Senator
Smith was re-elected by false representations
and pretenses, and Mr
Wilson, who claimed on the stand tc
be a Southerner, with his son-in-law,
Mr McAdoo, admits that they have
deceived the Southern States in this
matter, and now throws them, as
every other well-posted man in pub
lie life knew would be done, back
upon each State to take care of its
own interests and be the architect
of her own fortune.
"It will not take the people long
to learn who are their real friends,

"When the people of the South
, go to pay this new war tax along

i particularly the people of South
i Carolina, they will realize that Abraham
Lincoln, whether a great
statesman or not, was indeed a

,! "In view of this condition of af,!
fairs I called an extra session of my
, Legislature to meet October 6, at
which time I expect it to appoint a
: committee to confer with the Legis
latures of other cotton States for
. the purpose of passing such laws as
, will give relief. And, speaking for
, my own State, I think that the only
! relief possible to be given is a law
prohibiting the sale of any property,
, real or personal, under lien or
J mortgage, within 12 months, and
r the extension of the time of payr
ment of taxes for 12 months."?

' Prayer of An Old Engineer.
A pious old engineer on the Erie
railroad at Susquehanna used to say
his prayers aloud in the Young
Men's Christian association rooms
before starting on a trip. An inquisitive
stenographer listened one
evening to this God-fearing man
and wrote down in his notebook the
earnest petition which is reproduced
below:
"0 Lord, now that I have flagged
Thee, lift up my feet from the
rough road of life and plant them
safely on the deck of the train of
salvation. Let me use the safety
lamp, known as prudence, make all

Audit of Books of Sumter Bank
Reveals Shortage of <31,000.

Yesterday morning the report
spread over town that the expert
accountants of Alonzo Richardson &
Co, certified accountants of Atlanta,
Ga, who are making the yearly audit
uf the books of the Bank of Sumter,
had discovered a shortage in the accounts
of E H Rhame, Jr, teller of
the bank. It was soon learned that
the report had foundation in fact, as
the information came from officials
of the bank, who stated that a
shortage had been discovered as reported,
but that it had been made
good and the bank would not lose a
dollar.
The news of the shortage caused
great surprise and was the talk of
the town all day.
i At che request of the officers of
the Bank of Sumter the story was
not printed yesterday, as they wished
to complete the investigation and
prepare an official statement for
publication. It was expected that
the statement would be ready for
publication yesterday afternoon, following
a meeting of the board of
directors held after the close of
banking hours. The official statement
was withheld and in pursuance
with the understanding that was
had with the officers of the bank,
no mention was made yesterday of
xl? Affirtiol cto fomont

being promised for today.
The total amount of the shortage
is $31,759.01, but the entire amount
has been made good and the bank
has suffered no loss. The capital of
the bank is $200,000, with a surplus
exceeding $64,000.?Sumter Daily
