GOVERNOR SPRINGS SENSATION.
Involving Serious Charges Against
Thos. 3, Fielder of Atlanta.

L
A bombshell in the dispensary sit
uation was exploded, when on Satur-
day, writes the Columbia correspond
ent of the News and Courier, a letter
was made public by Governor Blease,
the nature Of which letter Is sensa-
tional in the extreme, involving the
Atlanta attorney, who was most In
strumental in prosecuting those who
were charged with grating In the es-
pecial field Of securing evidence, from
which the attorney general did much
Of his work
| A letter, which Governor Blease
thinks was written by Thomas B. Fell
der of Atlanta, offering to frame up q
100000 deal with H. H. Evans, former
member Of the state dispensary board
of control, now under indictment for
conspiracy to defraud, was announc-
ed by Governor Blease today as his
first grain of sand" on the dispensary
investigation situation.
The Letter.
The following is the letter:
| Dear Hub: / have just returned
from Peoria, Ill. l have framed up
our company in such way that we
will be able to make all the money out
of 1t by the time your term as COM
missioner expires, as we Will reason
ably need and you can then retire. ]
want you to think seriously Of the
plan, which submit, and make an ap-
pointment as soon as possible, either
here or elsewhere, and l can discuss
with you more fully and satisfactorily
! the details.
The plan Is sufficiently feasible to
justify our taking your associates In
on the ground floor. 1t Is this: The
capital stock of our company at pres
ent Is 100000, owned by you and l.
| 1t Is all paid for and l have the actual
custody of the stock. Hull, the gen.
era manager of Clark Bros. & Co.,
wants an interest and we may need
him, but not at present. If we can get
for October, November and December
large orders for Carolina / can issue
| $500, 900 of preferred stock Of the COM
pany, sell 1t to parties who have al
ready agreed to purchase, we can d.
vide the proceeds from the sale Of the
preferred and then do one or two
things, sell the common and let some
| new company run Ii, or run 1t our
selves; meantime we will have In hand
$3.50, 900 each, less such sums as we
may have to pay to others to secure
business.
Fortune In Sight,
Now, Hub, / want you to give this
matter your serious consideration and
cooperation, If you will do it, will
make you a fortune and that very
quickly. Write me when and where
you will meet me upon receipt of this.
We have very little time in which to
pull the scheme together. Have been
working on the plan several months.
and now have 1t perfected. | have a
brother-in-law in Indiana, million
aire, who assisted me in working out
the plans and will assist me In selling
the preferred stock, as soon as we can
make good showing, He has, as all
other very rich men, accumulated his
fortune by the manipulation Of stocks.
There Is enough In the plan to JUSTIFY
us in paying more for business than
anyone can afford as you will perceive,
Then, too, as Clark Bros. & Co, are
the largest distillers In the United
States, no one can be criticised for
giving them large orders. Whatever
is done must be speedily done. Can
you get your associates to meet us
