Says Others Have Been Trapped. Atlanta Ga.,? July 24.?Attorney Thos. B. Felder of this city has decided that he will ignore the recent charges made against him by Gov. Blease of South Carolina in connection with Felder's recent testimony against Blease before a legislative committe alleging corrupt acts on the part of the executive. In a statement issued tonight the Atlanta attorney, who was instrumental in" clearing up graft in the old dispensary system of South Carolina, discussed the personnel of the witnesses who appeared on behalf of the governor.* He declares that in addition to these witnesses many others have been dictagraphed in Charleston and elsewhere in the State. Their names have been furnished to the committe, he says, but the individuals have absented themselves from the State and "they probably will find it convenient to remaiin beyond the borders until after the primary election in August." i ; k News From Adamsburg.
