Columbia, April 2.-There were
no new developments in the Lexing-

statement by Governor Blease. State
Bank Examiner b. ]. Rname. who
was yesterday removed by the Gov
| ernor, and who refused to surrender
the office until ordered to do so
by the Courts, is still holding the
| office and doesn't recognize the re-
moval order of the Governor. Gov
| ernor Blease states that he will pro-
ceed to appoint and commission an
other bank examiner. and that if the
matter gets into the courts he will
employ counsel to defend the po-
sition he has taken.
1t is understood that Mr.. Rhame
! has retained Mr.. w. +. Stevenson to
represent him, for there is no doubt
but that the courts will finally have to
decide the whole matter.
Governor Blease. when asked if
there were any new developments in
the Lexington Savings Bank matter.
made the following statement:
II presume that very few bankers
In this State will allow Mr.. Rhame,
, or his assistant. to enter their bank
for the purpose Of interfering with or
! making any examination into the
affairs thereof. since 1 have issued a
proclamation removing him from Of
fee. If I We're president Of bank
and he were to come in it and make
any request to examine it, I would
treat him just as / would any indi-
vidual citizen of the State for most
| assuredly he is no longer an official
OF the State. and he has no right
whatever to go into any bank and
ask to inspect it.
II shall appoint his successor in
fdue time, and after he files his bond,
/ shall commission him; and, if a law
suit is brought against him to test
the title Of his Office or if it should
, be necessary for him to bring one to
defend the title of his office, l shall
employ counsel to look after his in
terest, and pay him out Of the con-
tingent fund of my office, for, Of
course. all of the people of the State
understand that could not risk this
matter, rs 1T now stands, in the
hands Of the Attorney General, as
Mr.. Rhame states that he is his per-
sonal adviser.
II have looked up the decisions in
/ this case myself, and / am thoroughly
satisfied that 1 had a right to remove
Mr.. Rhame. and that the Courts will
sustain my position. If they do not,
think it is high time for the people to
know that a retiring Governor can
APPOINT man to an office for q term
Of four years, and it does not make
any difference what he does or how
he does, there is no power which can
remove him therefrom."

To cap the climax of Governmental discrim-

have been required to make weekly reports

4 Congress subservient to spinners and

Wall Street demanded; and a Government
which sides with spinners and spectators may
believe it has the right to enforce it; but any
man Of sound common sense ought to know
that such law invades private business, in
lawless way.
The Government has no more right to
demand that a ginner shall report on his bust
ness, than it has to compel lawyer to report
on his. The Government has no more right
to force ginner to report how many bales
of cotton he ginned, than to make a lawyer,
or doctor, or dentist, say how many cases
he had.

this way. The poultry raisers don't have to

Why i Can't Support Woodrow
Wilson.
WILSON,

~ BECAUSE he is such an arrant liar, as
~ was shown III the Harvey Watterson-
Wilson episode At the very time he denied,
positively, that he had told Harvey that his
(Harvey's) support was hurting him (1Vil-
SOM, he was writing to Harvey, and telling
him that he (Wilson) was "ashamed'' of him
self for having told Harvey the very thing
that he (Wilson) denied he had ever said to
Harvey.
And that puts the laugh on W. J. Peerless.
(2) Because Wilson is afraid to denounce
the Trusts New Jersey, you know, is the
home Of the lawdefying Trusts.
(3) Because he is afraid to denounce the
infamous monetary scheme Of the Morgan
Aldrich gang.
a. Because the Joline letter proves that
only four years before he became an extreme
Radical, he was hide bound Tory. His con-
version being coincident with greed for Office
is too suspicious, It too closely resembles that
of Georgia's Hog-it-all Senator Smith.
(5) Because he tried to get his hands on
some of the tainted Steel Trust money, by
way Of Carnegie pension, at time when he
was drawing $4,000 year as Governor of
New Jersey.
Bryan influenced the University of
Nebraska to refuse Rockcfeller's money: he
does not condemn Professor Wilson for hav-
ing tried to pocket some of Carnegie'S pelf
Is the one hoard cleaner than the other?
The Carnegie loot has much more blood
on it, than that of Rockefeller There are
no Homestead massacres in the record of
Standard Oil.
(G) Because Woodrow Wilson went on his
belly to the Roman church, and employs a
Romanist as Private Secretary. Were he
elected President, Rome will know all our
State secrets, and would control him as com
pletely as it controlled Cleveland, Roosevelt
and Taft

Boys, Help Me Carry Georgia
For Oscar Underwood.

IL WILL be feather in our cap, and
song on our lips, to sweep our Empire
State for the young statesman of Alabama.
It would put the world on notice that the
South means to resume her ante -bellum posi-
ton in the Union.
If ever oar Republic IS qcremched from P1e1-
tocr0cy, and led back to the old landmarks Of
EquGl-Rlghts democracy, SOUTHERN MEN WILL
HAVE TO BLAZE THE WAY.
For 30 years, [ have dreamed of q amion
Of the South and West, against the Money
accepted subordinate position to an inferior
man, in the hope of accomplishing that pur-
pose. If Bryan had possessed a particle of
political sagacity, he would have turned his
back on Sewall, of Maine and yolzed up with
me, for q fight to q0in Kentuchy and the
doubtful Nothqcest.
At this time, [ again see chance to weld
together the great agricultural sections, both
Of which are bled white by tariff taxation.
And again, it is Bryan who is baking the
strategy.
oscar Underwood succeeded en- passing
through Congress @ bill qobjch virtuazzy carried
into effect the demand a0hich the Farmers
4lJiGnco put into the Oco2o platform in 1891.
HIS FARMERS FREE-I1sT BILL PROPOSED TO
REMOVE THE TARIFF-TAX, FROM THE ARTICLES
W HIGH THE POOR MUST HAVE TO LIVE.
UnderWood's bill was the most sweeping
measure Of free trade, that Congress. has
passed since John @. Calhoun won his mag
nificent battle, over Daniel Webster, Henry
Clay and Andrew Jackson.
Did Bryan ovo' propose q lar so immensely
beneficial 10 the common people? No.
Did Woodrow Wilson ever do it? No.
Did Champ Cz0rh, or Joe F07b, ever do 1t?
No.
HoNOR, TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE
It was q marvellous triumph of practical
leadership, to steer that glorious free-trade
bill through both Houses of Congress; and

were devoid of appreciation of what we try
to do for them; and I do not believe that

tell how many eggs their hens lay, nor how
many chicks are turned out by the incubators.
Yet, the hens produce, annually, nearly as
much wealth as the Cotton Grower does
Wouldn't it excite derislon, if the Govern
ment should send it's impertinent agents
around, asking at every poultry farm, How
many eggs did your hens lay, last week?"
GLOW many chicks did you hatch out, last
week?"
The principle would be just the same, as
that of asking, at the gin, GLOW many bales
did you gin, last week?"
Ginners! Quit helping Wall Street rob the
overburdened cotton growers.
Growers! Get right in behind the ginners.
At Norwood Georgia, we have begun the
great fight for the growers.
The Reynoldsville Union Gin Co. has
refused to answer any more questions about
its private business.
Let every ginnery take the same position,
and then let us band together to resist any
attempt which Wall Street may make, through
the Government, to break down our resist
ance to wrong.
If the spinners and spectators had not been
able to see each month how much cotton was
being ginned last year, the price would never
have gone below II cents.
And mark my words The price will go
back to, and above, - cents.
Why? Because the Government reports
have been "swelled out" far beyond the actual
crop that was made.
On this last crop, the Federal spies have
apparently received orders to ''swell out' their
reports. And I believe they haze been
"swelled out"
Cotton growers! There is another thing
that you can do. You can make these Federal
spies SO ashamed Of being spies on their neigh
bors, that they will soon be glad to adopt
more popular method of earning money.
