6Eease Flags Ministers.

Anderson, S. c., Nov. 13.-In a
public address Saturday afternoon.
Governor Cole L. Blease, f1ayed the
ministers of Anderson, who recently
adopted a resolution condemning his
views on 1ynching. The resolution
was adopted after the Honea Path
lynching.
The Governor stated that he was
reqested by the solicitor to send
troops that night to protect the ne
gro, but that he would have re-
signed his office before he would
sent troops to fire upon white citi-
zens who were doing what he con
sidered was their duty: that he was
more inclined to catch train to
Honea Path and lead the mob
He stated that the State Farmers
Union had requested him to issue a
proclamation urging the farmers to
hold their cotton and to ask the Gov
ernors Of all the cotton States to is
sue similar proclamations, but he
had refused to do so, explaining
that he is no farmer and does not
profess to- know what the farmers
should do under the circumstances.
He believes the solution of low-priced
cotton is with the farmers and he
urges the farmers to organize and
demand their price like doctors, law
yers, etc. He thinks the cotton mill
mergers are responsible for the low
price of cotton and prophesies that
the mergers will begin pulling down
the wages of the mill employees as
soon as they get the price of cotton
down.
| He urged the men to secure regis
| tration certificates, stating that the
newspapers were attempting to dis
franchise a big portion of the voters
by securing Legislation requiring reg
istraton certificates to vote in the
primaries. He says he will veto any
bill of the Legislature making any
such requirement, but he expects the
| Democratic convention next May tc
adopt a resolution requiring the Ger
tificates.
Governor Blease defended his par
/ don and parole record and reiterat
ed much of the speeches made else
