THE SILK OF THE TRADE. if , President and Treasurer ? ( X t 'I BEARD TELLS I "WHY" INVESTIGi* TION WAS STARTH). GIVES OUT LETTER THAT WAS FOUND ON THE STREETS. Then Comments on the Situation. Asserts Tom Peeples Must Have Fair Election Deal Next Election. Columbia, Sept. 23.?Claiming that the finding of a letter addressed to I the mayor of Greenville and signed by a name not legible reveals the real "why" of the investigation of the primary. "Sinbad," as W. P. Beard, publicts for Governor Blease is called, submits the letter and offers $25 to any one who will name the author. The letter follows: "Columbia, S. C., Aug. 31, 1912. "The Mayor, Greenville, S. C. "My Dear Sir: I feel that our mutual interest and state pride are sufficient excuse to urge you with as few minutes delay as practicable to personally write, telegraph or telephone every member of the state democratic executive committee, calling their attention to what is tactically understood as the unwritten facts concerning our state primary of two years ago between Featherstone and Blease. If the conditions and facts prevailing at this momevAous critical instant, when so much de1 nnrtrlc unnn +Vio vnrlif inff nf tKo olpp. tion frauds, perpetrated last Tuesday all over our beloved state, when these' frauds are brought up before them for consideration next Wednesday to hold up their hands and strengthen their determination to save South Carolina. "Remember the refunding of the state debt, say about ?5,000,000, the state asylum building, and the possible state house annex, in all involving about $7,000,000, to be disposed of by the incoming administration, and further the United States senator to be elected in 1914, and who .may we expect for our governor two-years hence? Your subscriber is a native South Carolinian, is not even remotely associated with office seeking, past, present or future, but loves his state as all true sons do, and fears the scandals of Pennsylvania, bloodshed of Kentucky and thievery anc bribery of California may approach the sanctity of our commonwealth i we are not energetic and wile am alert before it is too late. where i spectfully, Signature IlllMBie)^! Commenting on this lettc^Attn"Now read, digest, think, tA dc as any well ordered conscience dictates, execrate and pronounce" anathema the scoundrel or set of scoundrels that are evidently guilty of attempting to league the various public officials together in an endless chain, for the diabolical purpose of forcing by sheer weight of concerted action, the executive committee to do the bidding of unscruDulous nr.UH cians under the erroneous impression that they were yielding to the voice of the people?or to give certain shrewd and tractable members thereof an excuse for advocating annulment of the primary, and a club with which to hold their weaker brethren in line, in ease any 'fall for the dope.' If that is not clearly the purpose of this letter then we are incapable of understanding the meaning of words." Continuing his attack on the author of the letter which he submits, "Sinbad" continues: "Why does he speak of the bloodshed of Kentucky? Does he refer to the assassination of Governor I Goebel twelve years ago and tha: the law of similars nertnin in +t*;Q A ... v...u .aoc* Governor Blouse has been cften threatened with death, and this patriot ( ?) may have inside information, who knows?" "Sinbad" says that that $7,00(\000 seems to worry the writer of the letter a good deal, and he says that "Perhaps he sees with a practical eye | a grand opportunity for graft and thinks that his side should have the handling of same," and then goes on to offer a reward of $25 for the signature to the letter. His Blouse Ticket. Turning to the suggested Blease ticket for the general election the writer says that he ndvnnntoo ...? porting those nominees who abide the result of the first primary and provided they come squarely out for Blease if necessary. Otherwise, he says that he believes in getting men ] who will support Blease. An attack on State Chairman John 1 Gary Evans and R. I. Manning and , the charge that Stevenson was appointed chairman of the sub-commit- ' tee to investigate the charges of ' fraud after consultation with Judge j Jones is a feature of th? The writer closes with these words: < 'There is a disquiting rumor to the < effect that this whole business is Rot- J .en up to re-elect J. Fraser Lyon ^ ittorney general. That may not be i true, but it is having its effect, nevertheless, and we take the liberty of serving notice on all concerned that the people will not stand for that either. Thos. H. Peepes is entitled to fair treatment, and must have it, and furthermore the now fully aroused and indignant people are going to see that he gets it. The only thing that can be done now is to meet and declare Blease and the others elected and then order another election for attorney general. The jig is up. Don't play with fire.' ALLEN ARRAIGNED AT SCENE OF CRIME. .-Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards Taken Back to the Court Room at Hillsville?Trials in Wytheville. Hilleville, Va., Sept 23.?Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, the mountain irunmen. were arraigned here today in the same court room where on March 14 five lives were snuffed out in a shooting affray of which they are alleged to have been the ringleaders.
