derstand why a masher should mash

When dress is immodest. it will be look

be looked at.

GOV. BLEASE WARPS THE
FACTS IN PICKENS CASE
Dramatic Charge That Pick
ems County Has Been Cut
Short on Tickets Fails to
Prove True, as Alleged by
Blease.

Columbia, Aug. 21.-In his speech
at Pickens today Governor Blease de-
clared that John Gary Evans had sent
j. I. Richey, chairman of Pickens
county, 1000 less tickets than he had
requested.
The facts in the case are directly in
contradiction of the governors state
ment. In the first place the ballots
for the state primary were not sent
out by John Gary Evans, state chair
man, but by Christie Benet, of Co
lumbia, state secretary of the execu-
tive committee.
In reply to letter written on July
13, asking how many ballots would be
needed in Pickens county, Mr.. Richey
wrote on July Is: eve vote about
$500 in this county, and will be glad
if you will send us about 10000
tickets"
These tickets were shipped to Mr.
Richey on August Is by Mr.. Benet.
On August 10, Mr.. Richey wrote Mr.
Benet acknowledging the receipt of
10000 state tickets and added: "I re-
quested 10000 tickets. Kindly send
me the other 1000 as will need that
many"
Mr.. Richey's first letter asked for
only 10000 tickets. Governor Blease
warped the record in the case very
badly in his speech at Pickens in an
effort to bolster up his man of straw
whose name is "They mean to count
me out"

FERGUSON BEGS TILLMAN
NOT TO GIVE OUT LETTER
Spartanburg Man Who Dis

Qualified" Letter Wires
Senator Tillman Not to
Turn 1t Loose.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator
Tillman today received a telegram
from Harrison Ferguson, the Spar
tanburg man to whom he wrote a let
ter Monday discussing Governor
Blease's fitness for the office, stating
emphatically that the recipient of the
letter was unwilling to have it pub
lished. 1t was stated in the corre-
spondence last night that if garbled
portions of the letter are being given
out in Spartanburg, the senator would
give the whole letter to the press.
He said tonight that his Spartan
burg correspondent had evidently
read this intelligence in The Herald,
and had wired him expressing his un-
willingness to have the letter pub
lshed. The telegram indicated that
the man addressed had not given out
any part of the letter, although a
part of its contents were being dis
cussed in Spartanburg a few hours
after its receipt.
Senator Tillman also received
telegram today from Governor Blease
denying the reports that the Bleasc
lieutenants were working in the in
terest of the senator's opponent, w.
