SENATOR BLEASE
KILLS j. B. COLEMAN.
Shocking Scandal Leads to Terrible
Tragedy in Saluda---PrOminent
Parties Involved.

"SALUDA, S. c., Sept. 9th, 'O5. The
death of Mr.. Joe Ben Coleman on yes
terday was caused on account Of the
discovery by me of intimate relations
| existing between MIR. Coleman and Mrs.
Blease."
The above statement was made by
State Senator Eugene S. Blease of
Saluda, who is now in the custody of
the sheriff of Saluda county, having
surrendered himself to that officer i'm
mediately after fatally shooting his
brother-in-law, Joe Ben Coleman, on
the streets just before dark Friday
evening last.
Coleman was shot three times and
! fingered in great agony for several
hours, dying at three O'Clock Friday
night. Although conscious up to the
last he made no statement concerning
| the shooting, only expressing the wish
that he had been killed instantly and
spared the great suffering.
1t is stated that Senator Blease was
not aware of the cause which led to the
homicide until the day of the shooting.
He learned of incriminating cores
pondence between Coleman and Mrs.
Blease and at once drove out to the
home of his father-in-law, where his
wife and little girl had been staying for
awhile. Mrs. Blease is said to have adj
mitted enough to convince her husband
that his suspicious were correct. Sena-
tor Blease returned to Saluda and went
Immediately to the store of Coleman,
Webb 81 Co. Coleman was given an
opportunity to fight it out, Blease Of
fering him a pistol with which to de-
fend himself. The pistol was placed
upon the counter by the Senator, who
was now in great frenzy, but Cole
man showed no disposition to take up
the challenge. Then Senator Blease de
whereupon H. G. Crouch, brother-in-
law to both men, seized Blease and
begged Coleman to get out of the way.
Coleman attempted to escape and had
passed out the front door and was turn
ing q corner about so feet from the
store when Blease, who had olsen
gagged himself from Crouch, fired upon
the fleeing man. The first shot brought
Coleman to the pavement. Blease con-
tinued to shoot after the man fell, fir
ing five or six times in. all. Coleman
was shot twice through the body. He
was removed to the hotel, where he re-
ceived medical attention. Senator
Blease walked across and gave himself
up to the sheriff.
The men were brothers -in-law, hav-
ing married sisters, and they were al
ways close friends up to the very day
Of the tragedy.
Coleman was formerly State con-
stable and was for time stationed in
Laurens. He was 80 years old. His
wife died two years ago, leaving two
small children.
The inquest will be held next Saturday
at which time Solicitor Cooper can be
present to represent the State.

Recommendation.
CONSERVATISM WON.
Result of the Meeting at Asheville In
Which Various Interested Elements
Take Part.

Asheville, N. c., Sept. 7.-"Your
committee, realizing the unusually
strong statistical position of cotton, we
recommend minimum price of IL cents,
basis middling uplands, at the home
market throughout the cotton belt. E..
ID. Smith, Chairman; HI. Y. Brooke,
Secretary"
This action was reached after a four
hours struggle in the minimum price
committees room this afternoon, and
joint secret conference of that COM
mittee and the general committee to-
night 1t was contest in which grow
ers, spinners, manufacturers and brok-
ers were involved, and one in which the
combined influence of all theses ele-
ments was brought into play, in and
out of the meetings which preceded to-
nights work. After the announcement
of the estimate of the crop yield of
1905 and 1906, the fight narrowed down
to two factions-one holding out for 103
cents, the other for IL cents, notwith-
standing the fact that an outside ele-
ment clamored for twelve cents. Some
of the growers this afternoon were in
clined to the opinion that the unexpect-
edly short yield crop report would have
tendency to push the minimum to
twelve cents, but it was known that
these predictions would not be fulfilled
when the price committee emerged
from its caucus at 6:45 tonight.
