Governor Has Offered a Reward.

umbia.-Governor Blease has Of
fered reward of 5000 for the arrest
of Thomas B. Fielder, the Atlanta
lawyer, whom Governor Brown, of
Georgia, refused to turn over to the
South Carolina authorities to answer
to the charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud this state and Offering a bribe.
IL Col. Fielder is not arrested under
the offer of reward, later on Governor
Blease will issue another reQuisition
for him. This is taken to mean when
another Governor presides over the
affairs of Georgia.
Governor Blease was asked about
the refusal of Governor Brown to
honor the requisition for Fielder.
Governor Blease gave out the follow
ing statement in reply 20 the query:
81 am not s,xr-ise. In fact, it is
what | expected. political and per-
sonal prejudiced decision. You re-
member my criticism of Little joe
and his secretary about the l.angdon
Cheves lie, and the fact that the
people of Georgia had repudiated
Little Joe, by defeating him. This
is the first chance that he has had to
attempt to even up.
"As for the papers not being right
he has already honored acquisitions
from my Office made out exactly like
this one, and made, as this one. strict
ly according to law. In fact, this
one was stronger than the others
because separate affidavit was at
tached in conformity with the law
Possibly Little Joe thought, or
was promised, that by his refusing,
that the Fielder crowd would help
elect him Governor if Governor Smith
is elected Senator, and possibly they
will, for Fielder can thereby spend
some of the thousands Of South Car
olina money that he received by his
contract with Lyon.

history, the recent casus belli, was
adopted by the state board Of edu-
cation, it was with the understand
ing, as stated Governor Blease, that

board, the condition upon which the
book was adopted.

Thompson's history was that 1t did
not make the direct statement plac-
ing the responsibility for the burn
ing of Columbia.

from Mr.. Thompson about the inser-
tion of this sentence. Governor Blease
will not sign the contract, he stated,
