Columbia, Jan. 23.-It was stated
at the Governors office today that
there was no announcement to make
as to the appointment of constables
and detectives to enforce the dispen-
sary laws of the State. The procla-
nation revoking the commissions of
every State and county constable and
detective in South Carolina went in
to effect today. 1t is thought that
possibly Governor Blease will leave
the enforcement of the law to the
rrvstrssautssa4srffEs. sAss k.-ss ssssss .ssss
1t was stated at the Secretary of
States Office that hundreds Of appli-
cations had been received from those
desiring to be notaries public under
the new system. There is measure
pending in the General Assembly to
meet the requirements for the Office
as outlined by the Governor. No ap-
pointments will be made until some
sort of legislation as to requirements
and length or the term OF the Office
has been passed. This was stated in
the proclamation.
There are many callers at the Office
Of Chief Executive, as is the usual
custom. following the Inauguration of
a new Governor. Many OF the visi-
tors come to extend congratulations
and others to talk official business.
There were several callers today. who
have had previous service as officers
Of the law and some who have done
some detective work.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 25.-Clifford l..

Atlanta. today made q statement in
reference to the dispatch from Colum-
bia, in which Governor Blease is
quoted as inquiring why Fielder was
not prosecuted when it was found
that he was the attorney for liquor
house and was favored with liquor
purchases and rebates were paid for
these spprshases ss,sasss sass, ,as-ssssts,a..u
Z The statement is as follows.a
rSince the Goodman and Fleisch-
mann compromises referred to were
also made under the advice and
through the instrumentality Of Mr..
Fielder. 1 assume that the governors
reference to these matters and de-
mand that they be inquired into, is
likewise an attempt to reflect upon
Mr.. Fielder.
Throughout the entire course of
the investigation Of the : Caro-
lima State dispensary and t.. dispo-
sition Of the matters connected there
with by the winding-up commission
l have been closely associated with
Mr.. Fielder, and am familiar with all
the facts connected Herewith.
"Mr. Fielder is out Of the city, and
in his behalf I desire to say that the
charges and insinuations contained in
the governors message, which refer
to Mr.. Fielder. are absolutely untrue
and without foundation in fact.
IF Gov. Blease has been informed
by any person that there are exist
ing facts giving foundation to these
charges he has been wilfully misled
by Designing persons. who probably
have felt the weight Of the law, grow
ing out of their own nefarious trans
actions with the State dispensary, and
seek this method Of revenge"

nominated at 1890.
When the last name had, been call

sion, he lacked one vote but a MEM
ber who had refused to vote went in
to the Lea column and later two

than the necessary Sc to elect. Mr..
Lea is 32 years old and will have the
honor of being the baby. senator
and of holding his first public office.
His election came on the 11th bal
lot. McMillin polled 4S votes.

Of alcohol on hand when the COM

give great satisfaction to the public

cost the State a great deal more
than the State lost through the dis
pensary system. (. 49, i3l.t.S

Capt. Edmund Kemble was O. the
witness stand on oss-examination.
A question of an original paper in
the case precipitated a discussion be-
tween the attorneys which then be-
came personal between Messrs. Grace
and Mordecai. The case will be called
for hearing tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.
Attorney Smith representing Mr..
Mordecai asked for the production
one Of the original papers in the case
In the possession Of Messrs. Logan
and Grace, attorneys for the Misses
O'Neill, bringing the remark from
Mr.. Grace that he feared to let it
leave his custody.
Mr.. Smith inquired to know if Mr..
Grace meant to infer that he would
steal it, which Mr.. Grace denied as to
Mr.. Smith, and when Mr.. Mordecai
Who was at the side of his counsel
asked if the attorney referred to him.
Mr.. Grace said that he did. Mr.. Nor
ecai then called Mr.. Grace a liar.
Mr.. Grace attempted to reach him
and The disturbance occurred which
brought about the suspension Of the
court for the day, with the probate
Judge sending for the sheriff to re-
store order.
In an adjoining office and in the
corridor Of the building the lawyers
came together but no blow was pass
ed. According to Mr.. Grace he de-
manded an apology which was re-
fused unless he would retract the

able to meet Mr.. Grace when Mr..
Grace expressed a willingness to use
''hot lead" Serious trouble was
however ayerted.
The lawyers in the case rufused to
make a statement, save Mr.. Grace
who said that the charge grew out
OF the recent disappearance of the
Mordecai will and declaration of
trust from the office of the clerk of
the supreme court until the probate
judge ruled recently that the papers
should be again proved, when the
papers were suddenly found and for
warded to Charleston. ~
