The four governors who opposed the resolution ol declared themselves as strongly en- si dorsing its purport, but voted no, be- w cause they thought they had no right si to reprimand a colleague. pi Governor Blease himself, target of e\ the attack, hotly defended his con- m mictions, snapped his fingers in the d< face of his colleagues, told them to ol 'go to it," declared he cared not a tl whit what the conference said, thought, did or did not do, and an- sf nnun/?A/1 Koi- oil 4-1* UV/M..WU wi?v au tuc xcouiuuuus uicy might ever adopt would never keep him from the governor's chair nor rrom a seat in the United States sen- al ate in 1915 or earlier.

"This conference of governors does ot undertake to control the individal views of its members upon any uestions of law or administration; it sclares that this government is ascd upon tho fundamental princile of law and order; that the con,itution of each State imposes upon s chief executive the supreme duty ? taking care that the laws shall be lithfully and equally enforced; that advocates all proper methods for lengthening and simplifying our icthods of civil and criminal proceeure.

BLEASE POINTS TO RACING LAW. Opposed to Gambling He Says, But Not His Business to Go to Charleston and Stop It?Declares that if Local Officers, Whose Duty it is to See that the Law is Obeyed, Tell Him Situation is Beyond Their Control, He Will Do His Duty. "I am opposed to Rambling in any / m : J n /i-i * iunM, saiu uuvernur v-oie u mease last night when asked by a reporter what was his attitude towards the race meeting which the Charleston Fair and Racing Association proposes to open next month at Palmetto Park. "I love to see two* roosters fight, but without gaffs. I love a game of cards, but let it be a good, clean game. I don't propose to come down here during the races to ferret out the gambling, but I expect the sheriff and the citizens to do their duty. According to the Act passed by the Legislature against gambling, any citizen can go before a magistrate and swear out a warrant against a man for gambling at the races. If the officers of the law find that the gambling is beyond their control and appeal to me to aid them in the matter, I will do my full duty. "I like horse racing, and there are ; thousands of others who like it, but 1 stand unalterably opposed to gambling on the races. It is not my business to come down here and stop gambling. Your own citizens can do that; the sheriff can stop it. If the officers, whose duty it is to see that the law is obeyed here at the races, come to me and admit that the situa tion is utterly beyond their management and that they cannot stop gambling, I will do my duy to have the law enforced." MAY MAKE SHIRTWAISTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Henry Dimond, Manufacturer of Boston, Considers Establishing Plant at Aiken. Aiken, Dec. 9.?Henry Dimond, of the firm of L. Dimond's Sons, shirtwaist manufacturers of Boston, v'V>-? spent several weeks here recent., was so favorably impressed with Aiken that he is considering the establishment here of a plant for the manufacture of shirtwaists, a branch of the Boston manufactury now conducted by his firm. Mr. Dimond is now in Boston. He will return here to spend the winter months with Mrs. Dimond, and has stated that if the proper encourage ment is given by the people of Aiken, the shirtwaist factory will become a certainty. This industry would employ from 3(H) to 350 young women, besides a number of men. Mr. Dimond has not yet made any definite proposition, but he has not concealed the fact that he thinks well of Aiken for the location of such a factory, and he has stated definitely that all that is necessary is that the people show a disposition to co-operate with him.! It is understood that as soon as the new chamber of commerce is permanently organized Mr. Dimond's proposition will be laid before that body. An Aikenite who is in Mr. Dimond's confidence states that in the event the shirtwaist factory is located here, a business associate of Mr. Dimond will probably engage in the manufacture of women's underwear here. You can not lift up the people on whom you look down. ESCAPED!
