the seat soon to be made vacant by
Senator Jas. B. Frazier. At 1 o'clock

would not allow his name to be used
today. At II a. m. Monday the Fusl-

one candidate, but whom they did not
know. At 11.30 they had decided to
drop B. A. Enloe, whom they had been
supporting, and go to Mr.. Lea, who
had just given his consent to being
put in the race. FIe was nominated at

taken part in local fights on the side
of what was usually termed the re-

Statement From Felder's Partner.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2y.-Clifford L.
Anderson, law partner Of Thomas B
Fielder, in the latter's absence from
Atlanta, today made "a statement in
reference to the Associated Press dis
patch from Columbia, in which Gov
Blease is quoted as inquiring why
Fielder "was not prosecuted when 1t
was found that he was the attorney
for a liquor house and was favored
with liquor purchases and rebates
were paid for these purchases"
The statement is as follows:
Anderson's Statement.
"Since the Goodman and Fleisch-
mann compromises referred to We're
also made under the advice and
through the instrumentality of Mr..
Fielder, I assume that the governor's S
reference to these matters and demand
that they be inquired into, is likewise
an attempt to reflect upon EIr. Fielder.
"Throughout the entire course of
the investigation Of the South Caro-
lima State dispensary and the 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.
eff Gov. Blease has been Informed
by any persons that there are exist
ing facts giving foundation to these
charges he has been wilfully mlsled
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"

DISAGREE WITH THE GOVERNOR

ished Refused.

Disregarding the demands of the
governor, the board Of directors of
the State penitentlary Thursday re-
fused to abolish the hosiery mill, and
the entire controversy will be left
with the general assembly for a de-
cision. The contract is for five years
and provides for the employment OF
from 200 to $50 prisoners. j. M.
Graham holds the contract with the
State. A letter embracing the posi-
ton of the board was addressed to
the governor. The governor has on
several occasions stated that If the
hosiery mill was not abolished that
he would pardon all of the 500 men
and women employed in the mill.
The board finds that j. M. Graham
has observed every provision Of the
contract. That failure on the part
of the State through it's officers to
perform it's duties +oward the con-
victs, should Lot be allowed to work
q hardship on ]. M. Graham nor JUS
tify the State in breaking the agree
rent with him.. ii;
That the hosiery mill Is In thor
oughly sanitary condition and the
converts therein work under more
favorable circumstances than en-
ployes in similar industries conduct

That deaths from tuberculosis in
the whole penitentiary, including the
hosiery mill, has decreased from SO
during the years between 1900 and
1905 to % during the years between
1906 and 1910.
That a greater number of convicts
are brought to the penitentiary al
ready afflicted with tuberculosis than
those contracting the disease within

CHARGE LEWIS WITH FRAUD.
Charged With Using the Mails to
T-'.s-"T'
Defraud People.

A dispatch from St. Louis says
E. G. Lewis, until recently publish
er of "a number Of magazines and
promoter of enterprises, was indict.
ed by special grand jury in the Un-
tied States district court on charges
Of fraudulent use Of the mails. The
indictment, containing twelve courts,
covers four points in which Lewis
is alleged to have obtained several
million by misleading statements cir
oulated through the mails.
It is charged he sold unsecured
notes on the Woman's Magazine
Building and the Woman's Daily
building in the University City, OF
which Lewis is Mayor, unsecures
notes of the University Heights Real
ty Development Company, operated
"a "debenture scheme" and that he
misrepresented the condition of the
Lewis Publishing Company in selling
stock in the concern.
Lewis recently put his corporations
into the hands of trustees with sole
power to handle them for five years.
Creditors have asked that receiver
be appointed. Lewis was indicted
in 1905 on charges Of conducting a
scheme to defraud through his oper-
alton Of the Peoples United States
Rank, one of his corporations. 9th
ar indictments charged him with de-
frauding the government of postal
funds. He was acquitted on several
of these charges and all were dis
missed later by the government.
1t is charged in the indictment
that, by the debenture plan, Lewis
endeavored to recover securities in
his different companies and obliga-
ton, most of which were due at early
dates, amouting to S7,16O,O0o.
