of 1859 over his nearest competitor,
C. C. Featherstone. Ct Laurens.

advocates there voted against Mr..
Featherstone, that gentleman having
been one of the leaders in voting out
the dispensary.
NeWberry county voted out the dis
pensary about five years ago, and now
appears to be a strong prohibition
county, for in the recent primary the
two men elected to the house Of rep
resentatives are strong Statewide
prohibitionists. Yet in the face of this
Newberry county gave Mr.. Blease, on
a local option platform, a magnificent
vote. And that, too, although Mr..
Blease has for twenty years been a
prominent lawyer at this bar, being
engaged in a great number of import
ant civil and criminal cases, and being
e hard fighter in the courts, and natur-
ally having made enemies on this &C
count.
In the face of this Blease carries
Newberry by handsome majority and

A Few Words to the Voters Of Se1th
Carolina

It seems strange that some people
can not see any good in anybody but
themselves, and are ever ready to con-
denim and speak i'll and detrimental Of
their fellow-men often without cause
or true knowledge of the mans char
acter, simply because they differ iu
opinions or in years past have been at
crossroads with each other. Which is
unfortunate but often unavoidable.
I have known Hon. Cole. L. Blease
for % years or more, from early child
hood. The social, fraternal and busi-
ness relations between us and all 9TH
ers as far as I know have been
Straightforward, upright and honest.
Of course he is not an angel. Who is?
No mortal creature has wings, but we
would like for the kickers to pull in
their horns some time and give every
man a chance. Be just to all.
Knowing Hon. Cole. L. Blease to be
a man who will not rule to ruin and
will deal fair and square towards one
and all, hereby take pleasure in rec
ommending him voluntarily to the Vot-
ers of the State as suitable candi-
date for the honorable position Of gov
ernor of South Carolina.
Yours respectfully,
otto Klettner.

Mr.. Featherstone, according to the
State, was not good enough to be
governor of South Carolina so long
as there was anybody else than Blease
in the race with him. But now that
the State has begun its fight on
8lease, there will be many "outraged
neoDle who will be ready to pat the
State on the back and say, GOOD
Herald.

THE PARDONINC POWER
AND OFFICIAL DUTY
MIR. BLEASE'S RECORD is ANSWER
TO CHARGES.
Elerenth-Hour Reports That He
Would Abuse Pardoning Power
for Personal Aims Branded
as False,


political enemies Of Mr.. Blease have
been industriously circulating reports
throughout the State to the effect that
if he should be elected governor ne
would pardon clients whom he has de-
Tended as an attorney, and that he
would pardon the "grafters" if any
"grafters" should be convicted.
Call who know me know that this is
false" said Mr.. Blease, when asked If
he had any statement to make, 'but
for fear that this attack upon me may
find lodgment in the minds Of some
who do not know me, now brand it
as false. I have defended many men
charged with crime, and I have de-
Tended them with all the Vigor which I
possessed. AS a private attorney I
have sought pardons for clients. l
have defended some men charged with
crime who we're my friends, and It
may be that others who are my friends
may be charged with crime. Some Of
them may be innocent and some of
them may be guilty. AS private at
torney, when defending a man, have
always used every honorable means in
his behalf, and fought for him TO the
last ditch But official duty is an
other matter. When there is official
duty to be performed, those who know
me kncv. I would seek to do my official
duty as faithfully and as conscien-
tiously as I have always sought to do
my private duty, whether it were in
the defence of a man charged with
crime or in any other matter. Friend
ship is one thing and duty is another.
Where the two conflict there is but
one course for the honorable man. A
nobler sentiment was never uttered
than that of Robert E. Lee, expressed
in his immortal words, Duty is the
sublimest word in the English Ian
guage.'
81 think that my record as mayor
of Newberry is conclusive proof to any
Who will take the trouble to inVesti-
gate that neither personal friendship
nor any other influence has ever in
terefered with the discharge Of what I
conceived to be my duty.
"If I am elected governor I shall
exercise the pardoning power as my
conscience dictates after I have earn
estly sought the light Of truth and JUS
tice.
"These between-campaign SANDERS
which are being used against me I do
not believe will injure me, but rather
do me good, for the. people Of this
State have learned long since that this
method of attack is cowardly, and that
if there had been merit in it it would
have been used at some time during
all the long weeks before the first
primary"

OUTLOOK IS DARK
FOR H. G. BEDWELL
Kentucky Commission Unlikely
to Reverse Decision of La
fOnia Officials
Especial Dispatch to The Call


CHICAGO, July 13.-The Kentucky
state racing commission will give a
hearing Saturday to H. G. Bedwell on
his appeal from the ruling of the La
tonia officials barring him, his fore
man and his horses from the privileges
of the track. The opinion prevails
that the commission will not reverse
the ruling of the Latonia officials, but
may give Bedwell permission to dis
pose of his horses and lift the ban from
them if transferred to other hands
Preparations for the proposed re-
vival of Chicago racing are proceeding.
Worth track will be the scene of the
attempt to restore the sport. The
grandstand is being reroofed and other
improvements made. Many horses are
being held at Latonia pending word
from local track owners that things
are sufficiently propftious to warrant
shipping here. This word is expected
to be given in a few days. The plans
of the allied race track interests con-
template a thorough test of the IlIi-
nois law, it is understood.
Barney Schneider has tentative plans
by which his great sprinter, Jack At
kin, will do his first stud duty upon his
retirement from racing at Schreiber's
California breeding establishment near
