GOV. BLEASE MAKES THREAT.
Intimates to CharIestOnians That
They Must Vote for Him or They
Shan't Have Amy More LiquOr-A
Negro in the WOOdpile.
CRoanoke Evening News.)

(Roanoke Evening News.)
About the rawest thing yet devel-
oped in politics this year has come,
of course, in South Carolina. In
Charleston last Friday Governor
Blease, candidate for reelection, ad-
dressed his audience as follows:
Il want to put a proposition to
you, ana you answer it at the Au-
gust primaries. Whatever you do, |
will be Governor anyway for Septem-
Der, October, November, and De-
cember, and twenty-one days in Janu-
airy. If you want government by in
junction and a metropolitan police
force, you vote for Ira B. Jones, and
I'll give it to you"
Judge Jones is Governor Blease's
opponent The meaning of the threat
is that if Charleston, at the prima-
ries in August, votes against Blease,
the dispensary law, to which Charles
ton most strongly objects, will be en-
forced; whereas if the city votes for
Blease it will be left free, as hereto
fore, to do as it likes and to sell
liquor freely, regardless of the law.
Yet a majority of the audience is re-
ported as having been with Blease
and favoring him enthusiastically, as
indicated by the applause bestowed
upon his utterances.
In the following kindly terms he
alluded to Mayor Grace, Of Charles
ton, another popular idol, recently
his devoted friend and follower and
elected last year to preside over the
destinies of the city:
He intimated that the recent
break between him and John P.
Grace, Mayor of Charleston, began
when he refused to commission as
notary public a negro, S. W. Bennett,
whom the Mayor had recommended.
He said further, with reference to the
charges in Charleston had been
traced to the Office of the Governor.
No gentleman would insinuate that
had ever received any graft and any
man who says | did is malicious
character, thief, and a cowardly
liar

The action of the steamship lines

result, it is said, in materially chang

steamship lines assert that they have
been required 10 pay many claims on

How Soap Pedler Got Into
Trouble i'm Union County.

About two weeks ago one Chas. Ell
lis, soap peddler, struck this town
and went out taking orders for DR..
Newbury's Medicated Soap, which,
said the peddler, sold for s box of
three cakes and was good for every
thing from soiled conscience to
freckles-but to introduce this won
derful dirt-lifter and beauty-maker
he would sell a box of it for just for
ty-nine cents. In language that was
persuasive, the soap peddler spoke
unto the ladies-and they bought
and that literally. The fellow said
that his wagons would be through
from New York in few days and
from them the wonderful DR.. New
bruy soap would be delivered. Last
Monday Mr.. Soap Peddler came back
delivering his soap, but not DR.. New
bury's. 1t was Sweet Maiden" soap,
a highly-scented soap which he
bought from a local grocer at 81 per
gross and which retails for ten cents
that he delivered.
The ladies, finding that stranger
had taken them in, raised a mighty
kick when they found that they had
paid forty-nine cents for little old
box of Sweet Maiden" soap, and as
a result, Mr.. Soap Peddler was ar
rested and was taken before the re-
recorder, a great array of witnesses
appearing to testify against him and
G~s.
present to see what would be done
with him. After hearing testimony
of witnesses and argument by County
Attorney Pratt, Recorder Stevens
found that there was sufficient
grounds for holding the defendant to
Superior Court. Ellis failed to give
the $50 bond required and was sent
to Jail. The charges against him is
false prtense.-Monroe Enquirer.

THE UNITED STATES LEADS.

Ahead OF All Nations in the Matter
of Mail 1t Sends Everywhere and
in the Amount Its Inhabitants Re-
ceive.
The people in the United States
are the best patrons of the postal
service, says the New York American
This is according to the great Bureau
of Statistics in Berlin, where experts
have figured out just how much mail
matter per capita is delivered in the
various countries of the world.
The United States leads all nations,
is a world-beater both in the matter
of mail it sends everywhere and in
the amount it's inhabitants receive.
The German Empire comes next,
while Great Britain and Ireland is
sixth. In the German Empire the
average is las pieces of mail per per-
son during the year. In Great Britain
and Ireland it is lit, France IS,
Russia II, while in Turkey the peo-
pie only average l TO letters per
year
Because the number of pieces of
mail now sent is so enormous the
Bureau of Statistics figure only in the
thousands of pieces and it has found
that the United States sends no less
than 100000 thousand pieces, or
actually 1860. 100000 pieces of
mail every year, both within the
States and foreign countries. All
| the rest OF the New World sends
less than 100000 thousand pieces
more, but the total for America is
IA, 643,129 thousand pieces of mail
dispatched every year. The Argentine
Republic sends $4,000 thousand
pieces of these, but the Falkland
Islands send out only 1000 thousand.
All Europe delivers but 25,618,-
! 740 thousand pieces of mail per an
mum, of which the German Empire
distributes S,S17,3O0 thousand pieces.
Great Britain and Ireland 4,941, 200
thousand and France 8, 049,000
thousand. All Asia distributes only
2,667,493 thousand, but Japan uses
| more than half, 100000 thou
sand
Russia, with it's great population,
distributes only 1,66S,00O thousand
pieces of mail, while little Switzer-
land receives 411,020 thousand let
tiers and papers, so that the average
per inhabitant of Russia is only u,
while that of the little Republic is
| 124,-ten times as much
| The distribution of letters and pa
pers in Africa is comparatively small,
being only 367,245 thousand, OF
which the largest number go to AL
geria.
In these figures students of human
progress find pretty sure indications
of the intellectual advancement OF
people, as we'll as their commercial
progressiveness.

tablets by the Babylonians at least
