STATEMENT FROM MIR. BLEAsE.
Governor-Elect Explains Connection
With Act Creating Jockey Club.

Newberry, Nov. Especial: The
Associated Press dispatch of Friday,
to the effect that turfmen in New
Orleans were anticipating the OPEN
ing of a race track in Charleston ,as
result of the approaching admin
lstration of Governor Blease. and
the dispatch from Charleston to the
effect that a race track was con-
templated, though the Forthcoming
Rlease administration was not in
any manner, so far as was known,
connected with the matter. was the
subject Of an interview which was
requested of Governor-elect Blease
tonight
1t so happened that when the bill
TO Incorporate the South Carolina
Jockey Club, of Charleston, was
passed, MIR. Blease was Il member
of the State Senate and that he
proposed an amendment to the bill,
which provided that no betting
should be allowed. Upon disagree
ment of the two houses of the Leg
islature the bill went to conference
and the amendment was killed.
Governor-elect Blease said: "The
first news l had of the matter at all
was when MIR. Horton, of the Colum-
bia Daily Record called me up over
the phone yesterday, directing my
attention to the Associated Press
dispatch in question, to the effect
that with the advent of the admin
istratlon in January preparations
would be made for the opening of
pig race meet in this State | said
to Mr.. Horton: L have never heard
a word about it and don't know
what it means. Nobody has ever
discussed the matter with me, and
the Information is absolutely news
to me. | don't know where they
could have got it. | have not seen
nor talked with race horse man
In some years, although | love a
good race.
After thinking over the matter,
| recalled that while | was n men,
her of the Senate in 1907 Mr.. Cos
grove, member of the House from
Charleston, introduced Il bill in the
House, No. III. to incorporate the
South Carolina Jockey Club, which
will be found as finally incorporated
into law on page $40, Volume 25,
Statutes of South Carolina.
When this bill came from the
House to the Senate ! moved to
amend the bill by adding to Section
the following proviso: Provided,
that the said club shall not permit
any betting on the said races This
amendment was adopted, and there
being no further amendments, the
bill was given its third reading and
ordered returned to the House, as
will be seen by reference to Senate
Journal, 1907, page 5S5. The House
refused to agree to the amendment
and conference committee was ap-
pointed. Their report will be found
in the same Journal, page 629, In
which they recommend that the Sen
ate recede from the amendment to
Section 4, which was my amend
ment. 1t seems that this report was
adopted by both houses and the bill
was ratified on the 18th of Febru-
AIRY. as shown on page TIT OF the
said Senate Journal, and is now an
Act, the bill having been approved
by the Governor on the 10th of Feb
ruary, 1907.
This is the record, and shows
MY position in the matter. Further
than this l have had nothing to do
with any matter concerning any
proposed race meet in this State,

cred soil and his presence was pollu-
ton and will go for the Congressman
without gloves and calls on his friends
to stand by him to the death, but
Hardwick's manager laughs at this

be no occasion for a clash or row. as

The recent census shows most in
teresting shifting of population to-
ward the Southern States. some OF 1t
coming from the western agricultural
states, and not a little from the North
ern Atlantic States. This drift Is quite
largely induced by the efforts OF
southern railroads to induce settlers
to locate along their lines. cheap lands
being the inducement held out. This
movement will be of great benefit to
southern agriculture, bringing in as II
will, new methods and new enterprise
and tend to diversity southern prod
ucts, besides benefiting the social life
of that section 1t may have some eff
feet in inducing a part OF the immi-
grants daily coming to our shores to
seek out these sparsely settled lands
where living is easy to be had. and
where a little capital combined with
hard work will give them better situa-
tions than can be found in our already
crowded cities.-EXchange.
