--Cbmden Correspondence Of the lers aad csarie':
After a humorous introduction, Judge
Cooke commenced on Governor Cham
berlain. Chamberlain would not accept
Hampton's invitation, because, as he had
told the speaker himself, he was afrsid
that if the colored people came to Demo
cratic meetings they would hear the
truth and be converted. He charged
Chamberlain with recommending the
purchase of He'll Hole Swamp for $175,-
600, not worth over $4,000. The
speaker next attacked the Land Commis.
sion. Chamberlain, Parker and Neagle
stole all the difference between $130, 600
and 5000, 900 appropriated for lands foy
the homeless. He received $50, GOO for
aiding the. phosphate bill. He (in1&1)
added 100000 latter being scaled BY
,ffty cents ON the dollar) to the public
debt of South Carolina. Chamberlain
would not allow Scott to prosecute the
Land Commissioners, because the people
who owned the lands were rebels. ALI
the bonds issued during SCOTS admins
tration were issued by advice of Cham.

$500, 900, when. the: acts only permitted

Land Commission could use the money
in the treasury. Chamberlain had not
reduced: the taxes as claimed. In SCOTS
administration the taxes averaged 81
mills. The next four years the taxes

his pockets and then retired. Scott had
nothing to do with it. . 1919
Chamberlaia's., reforms are SCOTS.
Without Democrats he could not have
effected a single reform measure. Cham
berlain recently bought for $5 900, ef ex-
Treasurer Parker, alf the papers which
implicated Chamberlain. But, before
delivering them tnp; Parker took photo
graphic copies of every one OF those
papers. Chamberlain procured Pufers
discharge as receiver, by which the State
lost s109, ,OD0 Of finds Of the Bankof the
State: $50, GEO. were taken out Of that
fund and spent by Chamberlain to elect
himself Governor. He produced the
