VIM. ]. BRYAN COMING.
GREAT COMMONER WILL SPEAK HERE
ON JUNE IS
LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECTED
Bryan Will Arrive Here Mt 1880
a. m, and Will Leave For Harts-
vile at p. m.

A telegram was received Tuesday
morning stating that Hon. w. j.
Bryan would visit Dillon on the
10Th and make an address to the
people of this section at the Tobac-
CO Warehouse at 1890 o'clock in
the morning. At the conclusion of
his address Mr.. Bryan will be car
ried by automobile to Hartsville
where he will make an address in
the afternoon at the closing exer-
cises of Coker College and that
night he is scheduled to speak at
the auditorium in Florence.
1t was only by the most fortunate
circumstances that Dillon was abl
to secure Mr.. Bryan on this date.
Several weeks ago he wrote, in re-
sponse to an invitation to come to
Dillon, that he had as many engage
ments as he could fill during the
spring and summer and it would be
impossible for him to come to Dill
on. When it was learned that he
was to speak at Hartsville and
Florence arrangements were made to
secure Mr.. Bryan on the morning of
the 10th. The Dillon folk had to
guarantee to put the distinguished
Nebrankan in Hartsville by p. m.
that afternoon. Mr.. Bryan will be
carried over by automobile, but in
the event the trip cannot be made
by automobile the committee has
made arrangements to carry him
over on a special train.
This is the second time Mr.. Bryan
has spoken in South Carolina and
the first time he has visited the Pee
section. He is the greatest private
citizen in America, an orator with
out a superior anywhere and a fig
ure of international prominence
That he will attract a crowd on the
18th cannot be doubted. Reduced
rates will be secured on all railroads
and every inducement will be offer
ed to bring out a large and repre-
sentative gathering Of Pee Dee
folk to greet the distinguished Ne
braskan.
The Tobacco Warehouse has a
seating capacity of about 1900, but
tickets will be put on sale at Evans
Pharmacy on Monday, June 18th,
and if you are particularly desir-
Gus of getting a near view of the
great commoner on this occasion It
will pay you to select your seat
early.
The subject upon which Mr.. Bry-
an will address the citizens of this
section will be announced in the
next issue of The Herald.

HANDED BLEASE s5OO.OO
ALLEGES FIELDER IN COMMUNICATION TO
THE PRESS
HUB EVANS THE GO-BETWEEN
'ThOS. IL. Fielder Makes Grave Ac-
cusations Against States Chief
Executive in Atlanta Papers.

The State.
The Atlanta Constitution yester-
day published most sensational
open letter addressed ITO Cole L.
Blease" and signed by Thomas b.
Fielder. This letter follows one OF
a more general character addressed
10 many newspapers.
Charges of the gravest nature are
made against the governor of South
Carolina, and he is challenged to go
into the United States courts for
redress. Two letters signed Cole"
alleged TO have been addressed to
liquor establishment, one asking for
pay for service and the other ac-
knowledging the receipt of $500,
and expressing doubts of Hubs"
reliability in money matters, are
printed. 1t is distinctly shocking to
South Carolinians to have coward
of theft" applied to the governor OF
this State.
While the matter has been pub
lished in responsible newspaper,
The State does not feel warranted
in reproducing the language con-
veying criminal charges until there
| is more light shed. Mr.. Fielder
should be made to prove his charg-
es or else suffer the penalties for
gross libel.
He says in part:
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1911-06-08

gross libel.
He says in part:
If the charges ! make are false,
they are libelous per Sc and | am
suably solvent.
Moreover, with apologies to the
shades of my departed ancestors, |
in modeSty CD claim to be your
equal and if you are aggrieved
charges ii will be my pleasure to
meet you at such time and place
without the confines Of your Ste tie
that may suit your convenience, to
the end that abundant opportunity
may be afforded to redress your
grievances
If my charges are groundleSs and
libelous and you do not wish to
seek personal satisfaction, you can
institute suit against me in the
United States courts in the city of
Atlanta-should it be objected, how
ever, that this is my home county,
then in any of the subdivisions of
the district. AS soon as it is fill
ed l hereby promise and agree, in
order TO facilitate and expedite the
same and by way of circumventing
any excuse you may offer for mac
tion, that l will acknowledge SER
vice and will enter into a recogniz-
ance with good and approved secur-
ity in an amount covering sum sued
for, the fees of your counsel and the
cost of court, together with your
personal expenses and the expenses
of your witnesses; the only condi-
shall finally prevail in the litiga-
tion.
An investigation of this court will
disclose that it is presided over by
a distinguished jurist, who, in the
administration of the laws, knows
neither friend nor foe, and while
his decisions are occasionally revers-
ed, they abound in such rigid integ-
rity that they are universally inter
preted to be without variableness
or shadow of turning"
Then follow the direct charges on
which Blease is invited to base his
suit for libel. They affect his con-
duct while senator from &NNew berry
in dealing with persons selling sup
plies to the State dispensary.
Here are two letters as presented
by Col. Fielder:
l use your own language: From
the mountain of evidence" in my
possession | submit for your con-
sideration "a few grains of sand"
In doing so | omit the name of the
addressee:
Dear Sir: / am greatly surpris-
ed that you failed to call upon me
during your recent visit to Colum-
bia and arrange the matter as
promised. Spoke to Hub about it
and he referred me to you. Have
performed all services as agreed
both as to matters pending here
and as to the last purchases by the
board. Let me hear from you at
once. Read and destroy.
Yours very truly,
CSigned) Cole"

transactions with the State dispen-

1905, you addressed another COM
munication to the same party, as
follows:

Commenting on the letter the At
lanta Constitution says editorially:
The Constitution publishes else
where an interesting, though some
what personal, communication ad-
dressed by Hon. Thomas B. Fielder
10 Gov. Blease of South Carolina.
ITO those who know Col. Fielder
and who are Informed as to the
chaos existing in the political af-
fairs of South Carolina, it is scarce
ly necessary to say that the govern
or of South Carolina has, to say
the least of it, taken a circuitous
route to attack Mr.. Fielder, his al
legation, as mysterious and misty as
it is, relating to the event of seven
years ago. If there had been any
thing in the governors position,
he was recreant to his duty in not
having given the people of his State
the benefit of the information be-
fore now, when he suddenly springs
an attack on Col. Fielder in a gen
eral fusilade in which he assaults at
the same time many prominent citi-
zens of South Carolina.
Gov Blease seems to have a
way of running amuck, and that he
has dope so in this instance no one
who KNOWS Col. Fielder will doubt"
The State cannot, of course, fore
cast the course of the governor of
South Carolina in this crisis.

WIRE TRUST men
PAY $1,000 FINES
Plead Nolo Contendere Before Judge
Archbald-0thers Stampede to
Plead Guilty.

NEW YORK. July 25.-The crusade
OF the federal authorities against the
various members of the wire pools,
some OF which were subsidiary mem
bers of the steel trust, was practically
nullified this afternoon, when Federal
Judge Archibald accepted pleas s-of
nolo contendere from the members
of the Fine Magnet Wire association
and imposed fines of $1,000 on each
or the members. As soon as the Off
-eials OF the various -concerns recently
indicted for violation of the Sherman
antitrust law realized that they could
get out OF their trouble by the pay
ment Of a nominal fine, there was a
stampede to plead guilty. Twenty OF
the officers and directors Of the Rub
ber Covered Wire association also
pleaded nolo contendere and were
fined. District Attorney Wise protest
ed against the fines, but was over
ruled by the court and left the room
plainly angered.
Seven men who admitted their guilt
while claiming that they had done
so under a misapprehension and end
ed their law-breaking as soon as thoy
realized that their acts were contrary
to law, were Ferdinand W. Roebling,
the Trenton. N. j., millionaire, and
Secretary and treasurer of the Roeb-
ling Co., Frank A. Newbury, Joseph
c. Beldon, Newell B. Parsons, Thom-
as Waliaee. Hotfts I. Anchuitz,
