"A remarkable document was Gov.
Colemans L. Blease's inaugural ad-
dress read in the hall Of the House
of Representatives.
He. characterized his own victory
as follows: independence Of
thought, freedom Of action, an abid-
ing trust in and. devoted love for
God have. won for me the greatest
political Victory that has yet been
recorded in the history Of South Caro-.
lima. Aligned against me were a
united daily press and almost solid
weekly and; semi+weekly press, pour
ling forth all kinds Of falsehood,
lvithperation and abuse, receiving

who call themselves ministers of, the

enough to resign, and if they are not

what they, say is true, we should all

On the education of the negro Gov

The white people Of the South are the

mistake, and fear the worst result
