Said to Be Some "Hot stuff?Fehler
Had Hum* Shadow tlleasc.
There has been considerable talk
la the State about the book that Mr.
T i ' , i - c, of Atlanta. Is said to
havs written and a great many
people have come to the conclusion
that h I wae a b'uff and they were in
dsgposed to pay kny attention 10 the
*tori*a ot the man from Atlanta The
Times reporter ha? several times been
told of tne book that Mr. Folder has
written tut always under the seal of
secrecy, but recently It hai come to
the paper In a way that the reporter
feeis at liberty to us*, that ftev. J.
L. Harley, one of the most reliable
men In the State, has seen the book
and read enough of It to nake him
alek. H?? has recently been In this
section or the State and he has told a
number of people of his reading of
th?, book In the office of Mr. Felder,
and that he really doee not believe
that Cole Bleaee will be a candi?
date for the governorship when this
book cones out It has been pre?
pared for use as an official document,
and can be used In no other way
without iftvlng the best opportunity
la the world for prosecution for
criminal ilbel.
It hi understood that the commls
elen couhl not use the evidence that
they had against the governor, both
an a senator from Newberry county
and <n other ways, but that in an
Investigating commission the story
ae Mr. Felder has it can be used,
and Mr. liarley says that it is the
red hotter* thing that ever was put
Into a book.
It la alio understood from several
sources, out none of tnem what
might be called official, but the story
la told In places that ught to be In?
formed that Detective W J. Burns,
the greatest detective on earth, has
hoen trailing the governor, and that
his report may possibly constitute a
psrt of tho evidence that It* to be
submitted to the committee of in?
quiry In this Invetalgatlon.
It Is thought that this book and
the stories therein contained, will be
a part of the testimony given by Mr.
Thomas Felder at the Investigation.
The story of the presence and
work of Detective Burns In this State
as the shadow of Cole L. Blense has
been told to the Times twice under
ths seal of "swear you won't tell."
and once without that restriction,
which removes all of the restrictions.
If the attorney general or Mr. W.
F. fttevenson. or sny of the others
who have been sctlve In this matter
km Columbia know anything about
this matter they are as close as clams
and It Is Impossible to get anything
at all from them.
If Mr. Felder has been working on
ghee* lines he has been doing It at
his own Instance and not at the In?
stance of the wlndlng-up commis?
sion, as eeeme very plain from these
attempt* to get "a line on the Burns
etory *
It Is supposed some knowledge
Of these stories prompted the
editor of the New? snd Courier to
suggest that Cole Is Blease might
not be In the race for governor this
summer.
It is then unquestioned that Mr.
Felder has a book and that it Is a
red hot book, and that It does tell
things on the governor, but that does
wot mske the things that are told as
ewawd as evidence in the court room.
There is also a atory of a matter
which might bring the governor into
conflict with the United States au?
thorities In the matter of the use of
the malls, but that Is like a good
many other things that are Just In
circulation, and is probably not at all
trwe.
The contents of this book have
been told of in various ways, but the
Ttm*s has no reliable Information on
that line.
It Is expected that Mr. Felder will
hm In Columbia on Thursday und that
his evidence will he mo*t highly n> n

Farm Demonstration Workers and
County Superintendents of Education

light and heat) and laundry has been
$7.50 only, while the same service at
other colleges of like standing is ,on
