BLOOD ON THE MOON
GOVERNOR BLEASE CHALLEN-
GEs EDITOR HENRY.
The Governor Dared the Editor to
Repeat What He Said in Paper
to His Face.

Governor Blease, having taken
exceptions to a reference to himself
made in the Spartanburg Journa
by the Editor, Mr.. Henry, the Gov
enor got wrathy and wrote Editor
Henry the following letter:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Executive Chamber.
Columbia, Oct. 10, 1911.
ITO the Editor of the Journal:
"a friend of mine has forwarded
me your paper or the 9Th, in which
YOU speak of me as william.
II spent part of three days in your
city last week. Why did you not
come 10 my face and tell me this
instead of your cowardly action in
printing it in your paper?
II will be in your city again at
your county fair, stopping at Arg
vie Hotel. If you desire to make
this statement be man enough to
make it to my face and not be a
slurring (sn) coward and strike me
in the back.
"Cole L. Blease."
To which Editor Henry replied as
follows in the Journal
"The expression referred to is
contained in the following para
graph:
There is fine material in South
Carolina politics just now for
comic opera with Cole Blease as
the william
OF course, Mr.. Blease may take
this as he likes, but there are prob
ably few readers Of the Journal
dull-witted enough to think a sus-
,?estion of the governors fitness to
play the part of the william in a com
ic apera dramatization Of the pres.
ent political situation in South
Carolina, is speaking of him as a
william" .S
There are perhaps people who
think Mr.. Blease a william or worse
but We have seen no newspaper that
has stated it's opinion of him to this
effect. Certainly the Journal has not
done so.
We shall have to ask his eXcef
lent excellency to accept our regrets
to his invitation to meet him at the
Argyle hotel in this city or else
where. We would not intrude oul
unappreciative presence or attempt
to interrupt for a moment the con-
tinuous performance he gives where
ever he goes of his favorite burles
sue, which might be entitled, COY
erning a Great State" but which
he renders with a seriousness and
an importance that produces an un'
conscious satire.
We are little concerned about Mr.
Blease or his acts or his talk, bu1
when a man as ridiculous, as comi'
cal, as grotesque, as droll, as ap
surdly vain as he is gets into the
limelight he is sure to furnish bet
ter material for newspaper para
,o;aphs than for serous denunclatlon
much as he would prefer the latter
style of treatment.

They May Be These Of lhe Crew ef a
Schooner Lost in tlc Gale.
ARE BURIED ON BEACH
Party Gone From Charleston to
Learn Whether the Dead Men
Floating Ashore Included Capt.
Jarvis, OF the Margaret A. May,
and His Two Brothers.

and HIS Two BrOtnerS.
The News and Courier says Col
lector of the Port R. w. Durant, Jr.,
President John G. Cherry, of the
North State Lumber Company, and
Capt McGee, master of the schooner
Collins w. Walton, and others left
the city Monday aboard the Govern
ment boat Sumter for Kiawah Is
land to investigate reports to the eff
feet that several bodies of white
men drowned at sea were either re-
covered from a wreck or washed up
on the beach of the island some time
ago and buried by the inhabitants.
The gentlemen who compose the
party going to Kiawah Island be-
lieve that among the bodies may
have been the remains of Capt. Ed
ward l.. Jarvis, master of the schoon-
er Margaret A. May, which was lost
during the storm of August 27, sup
posedly in the neighborhood of
Coles Island or Kiawah Island. The
only relic of the wreck was the stern
of the vessel, which washed up on
Coles Island beach after the storm.
A Mr.. Grimball, living on Kiawah
found O. scarf pin on the beach af-
ter the storm, bearing the initials
"E. L. j." This pin is supposed to
haze been the property of the mas
ter of the ill-fated schooner. Grim
ball stated that he found the pin in
the end of a piece Of piping attach
ed to a portion Of the wreckage from
the deck house of d schooner.
1t is said that Capt. McNeill, who
is working on the wreck of q schoon-
er at Kiawah Island, believed by
many to be the schooner Margaret
A. May, discovered dead bodies in
the wreck. These, it is said, have
been temporarily buried in the sand,
pending further investigation. The
bodies will be examined by Mr.. Du-
rant and his party. When the bodies
were found Magistrate Hill, Of Kia-
wah Island, is said to have ordered
them inferred.
Capt. E. l.. Jarvis was member
Of the Commercial Club, and Of the
Carolina Yacht Club. He was one of
the youngest and most popular
shippers on the coast, and his death
was a great shock to his many
friends. He was beloved and honor
ed by all who knew him. Aboard
the Margaret A. May when she was
destroyed were two brothers of the
master of the vessel. George L. and
Raymond Jarvis. The party going; to
Kiawah to make investigation of
the report that bodies were found
from the wreck are hopeful that the
remains of Capt. Jarvis can be
found and turned over to members
of his family.
