ASHLEY'S HOLD FAMILY REUNION
Big Crowd Hears Address of Governor
Blease-Chief Executive Guest
of Honor.

Anderson, Aug. 25.-Governor Blease
was the guest of honor and the only
speaker at the John Ashley family re-
union, which was held near Honea
Path today, and which was attended
by more than twenty-five hundred
people. The speaking took place in a
large grove after a bountiful picnic
dinner had been served.
After reviewing Josh Ashleyis ca
reer in the political world, Governor
Blease discussed education at length.
He jumped on the State colleges,
charging extravaganza. He compared
them with the denominational college
and pointed out that with less mohey
these colleges are turning out as great
or greater men than the State colleges
Eare graduating. He said that the
president of the University Of South
Carolina is getting a salary and per-
quisites much larger than the COVER
nor and twice as large as the salary
of President Snyder, of Wofford COL
lege, who, he declared, was the best
educated man in the State.
Says Drain On States Finances.
He pointed out that Winthrop COL
lege, the Citadel and the University
year after year asked for appropria-
tions for additional buildings and
that the State treasury was unable to
stand the steady drains made upon
it for these buildings. He called at
tention to the fact that the county
schools are not accomplishing much
because the salaries paid the teachers
are so small as compared with salaries
Of ether callings, that it was impossi-
Bile to get competent teachers. lie
urged better school houses and more
competent teachers with larger sal
aries.
Gov. Blease said that he had called
upon the board OF directors of the
penitentiary to abolish that 'tubercu-
losis incubator" referring to the hos
iery mill, and that the directors claim
! ed that they had no authority to shut
up the mill. He said he then called on
the State board of health with the
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1911-08-29

same result. Now he has called upon
the State courts and if nothing is done
there to relieve the situation, he stated
! he would act, even should it mean his
political execution.
Again Defends Pardon Record.
The governor defended his pardon
record, charging that the newspapers
were not telling the public why and
under what circumstances he extend
ed executive clemency. He stated that
many had received clemency because
they were dying of tuberculosis, which
he claimed they contracted in the
hosiery mill. AS to the charge that
he was selling pardons, he stated that
the records show that he had extend
ed clemency to prisoners Of the poorer
classes, who had not been able to
engage counsel and who had net been
able to fight their cases through the
various courts. Many of those par
doned, he said, were not able to buy
their railroad tickets to their homes.
He said that if he was selling pardons
no doubt he could have made big kill
ings for a pardon for W. T. Jones, the
wealthy Union county farmer, and for
two or three other prominent and
wealthy convicts.
Governor Blease said that it had
been charged that he is an advocate of
lynching. He said that he is not, but
that he believes when a negro touches
the person of a whiteWoman the soon
er the negro is swung to limb of
tree the better.
Refers to AbbeYille Affair.
"I verify believe it was an act of
the Almighty" the speaker said, "that
I was in New York and that Sheriff
Lyon, of Abbeville county, was in Co.
lumbia the other night, when a negro
brute insulted a lady at Abbeville
court house,
Governor Blease did not refer to
the Belton incident, except to say that
while speaking to large gathering
Of his home people in Newberry coun-
ty recently he had called on them to !
ascertain whether or not they believed
the published accounts of the Incl
dent, and they declared that they did
not.
Gov. Blease was certainly among
his friends today. They cheered him
as he alighted on the picnic grounds
and they cheered his every utterance.
His speech was about the best he ever
made in Anderson county. Tonight he
is speaking at the Chiquola mills, at
Honea Path, and tomorrow morning
he will make speech at Greenwood.
He will spend tonight with Joe Ash
ley, a son of Josh Ashley, and an
avowed candidate for sheriff Of this
county.
Senator Tillman and former Solici-
tor Boggs, the other invited speakers
for the family reunion, were unable
to ne> present.

was out with Beulah Binford the night
j before the murder, and I believe that
during the conversation he asked as
TO where Beulah Binford was, or
. whether she was under arrest. He
stated that he was out with Beu1ah
Binford the night before the murder,
I think, until between II and 1 o'clock.
I asked him about being out with her
! at other times, and he stated that he
had been several times. At the fre-
quent mention Of BeuIah Binford's
name the prisoner fdgeted in his seat
and his face showed intense interest.
II asked" continued Mr.. Scherer,
'Fif it was not fact that Beulah Bin
ford had made Beattie bury the child
supposed to be his. In fact, I asked
him if he was the father of Beulah
Binford's child. He admitted it and
said, too, that his wife knew he had
paid the expenses OF the child's fun
eral."
Women suddenly were ordered from
the court, as Stherer reathed a stage
in hi stestimony where he inteded to
tell what Beattie had told him.
! Although the case has been in pro-
gress six dayA neither Paul Beattie,
the cousin, nor Beulah Binford, "the
other girl" in the case, have been call
ed to the stand, and spectators were
guessing today which would testify
first.
Since the trial started, the Binford
girl has remained in jail at Richmond,
with fifteen miles between her and the
man who stands accused of commit
ting the crime for her sake. She said
in an interview recently that she hoped
never to see him again and Beattie
has not spoken her name since the in
dictment.
Another Witness.
Richmond, Va, Aug. z7.-A new wit
ness was accidentally discovered by
the prosecution today, who is said to
have asserted that he knew a day
ahead of time that the murder was to
be committed. He is George Jones, a
huckster, and he is alleged to have
given this information in the presence
Of H. B. Chewing, a we'll known con-
tractor, and another man, whose name
the prosecution for the present has re-
served.
The link that gives Jones' assertion
serious foundation is that Jones is
known to be close friend of "Claude,"
a sister of Beulah Binford, "the girl
in the case." It is therefore supposed
that Jones by his proximity to the
Binford family may have learned OF
the alleged plot.
Some light On the relations of Beat
tie and Beulah Binford is expected by
the prosecution from Mrs. Binford,
mother of the girl, and the common
wealth's plan for tomorrow is to bring
to the stand not only several Rich
mond women but two physicians, one
Of whom is said to have treated Beu-
lah Binford and another who is alleg-
ed to have visited Beattie concerning
his ailment.

"Was there anything said during

There was," answered scherer.
"Tell usiabout it."

for pause, while Henry Clay Beattie
Jr., whispered to H. N. Smith, Jr., his
lawyer.
