CORRECTIONS
ARE MADE IN
The ARTICLE
PUBLISHED ON Yes 'ERDAl
OF the City Council EGld
Monday Night

Through misinformation and will
no intention to misrepresent the facts
in the case, errors crept into the ac-
count of the recent council meeting
Aeld Monday night, and corrections OF
these errors are made herewith. An
offer to correct these errors over his
own signature was made to Mr.. Lee
Council Tuesday afternoon, with the
promise that the card of correction.
to which was to have been appended a
statement from the paper, was to have
been furnished for publication yester-
day.
The failure of this card to appear
at The Times-Recorded office Tuesday
accounts for the fact that no correc-
ton was made yesterday, but was de-
layed until today. 1t not true that
the only means the Americas Gas
and Electric Company had of getting
in this correction was as a paid adj
vertsement, as is alleged in an adj
vertisement furnished by that com
pany and published elsewhere in this
issue by the consent of this paper An
offer of correction was made to Mr.
Lee Council Tuesday afternoon and It
was through Mr.. Councils failure to
furnish the card of correction, which
he preferred to run in connection with
tatement by the paper, that this
statement of correction was not made
yesterday.
The article printed in Tuesdays is
sue of The Times-Recorder was wrong
in two statements. First, in that the
statement was made that the Ameri-
Gus Gas and Electric Company offered
bid on lighting the city's streets
This company offered no bid on light
ng the city's streets. The only bid
offered by them, which is printed else
where in this ssue and shows for it
self, was to light the pumping station
and city hall for one year for one dol
lar. The second error was in the
statement that Messrs. Council, Riley
and White voted against the franchise
for the new power company. Though
an aye and nay vote showed that these
gentlemen opposed most of the sec-I
tons of the franchise, no aye and nav
vote on the franchise as d whole APP
pears on the minutes of the meeting,
so there is no record of how these al
dermen or any other of the members
of the board of aldermen voted on the
matter.
1t is but matter of justice to the
representative of The Times-Recorder|
who reported the meeting to say that
he was unable to be present at the
first part of the session of coun-
Gil, and that he had no other re-
course than given to any reporter
in the absence of official records, to
report the proceedings of the meeting
as accurately as possible by obtaining
information from those in position to
impart such information. No effort
was made to do other than to give a
truthful report of the meeting.

friends. Are Messrs. Nathans and Sin
kler also negro lovers? And do they
believe in social equality? Certainly
not. 1t Is almost sickening to have to
answer such tommy-rot.
The Dispensary Constabies.
There was but one cause, and that
was (as | said In published article
recently) Blease had broken his pub
lie promise and his private word I
expected him to be governor of
South Carolina, and when he was
elected l was happy. Any intimation
by him that l wished to usurp those
functions is more than absurd. In
the presence Of many others he ask
ed me II 1 would name a man for
chief constable, and in their pres
ence, l denounced the whole proposi-
tion, and said that l would hold him
to his word not to appoint any, as I
knew and had told him in writing
that they would be grafters. They
have since demonstrated 1t. What
more proof does he need?
Talk about facing Stothart! Wit
ness after witness under oath faced
Stothart. and then finally Stothart
faced himself. and looking himself
and his own guilt, land, believe,
Blease mountainous guilt in the
eye, he refused to answer on the
grounds that it might incriminate
himself. Why didn't Blease read the
constable letter-the letter of pro
phetic warning which wrote him.
and In which 1 told him that he had
broken his word, rather than switch
off on the irrelative tangent of al
legged social equality?
BIease's Threat.
"Of course, his nasty threat about
the metropolitan police is in keeping
with the rest of his character but
1t is il no way disquieting. If it
means ar thing it means simply this:
Up to August 9th, no matter what
the people of Charleston do, the con-
stables will stay here as graft agents.
On August 2Sth, if by their votes, the
people Of Charleston have resented his
dirty administration. he will take it as
sufficient crisis in the history of the
state to Justify his resort to whatever
extraordinary power he can stretch the
laws to mean. The metropolitan po-
lice bill has been repealed but he
refers to some vague. obsolete power
whereundcr a sort of martial law
might be foisted upon us-a power.
of course, under our constitution nee
essarily lodging in our executive, If
upon any rare occasion a city held
itself in open rebellion against State
authority.
THAT such conditions in Charles
ton could suddenly spring up over
night upon his defeat could only ap-
peal to his diseased and lawless
mind and were he even so disposed,
he would find that the Courts of South
Carolina, for which he processes such
utter contempt, would stay his venge-
full hand.
We know that Charleston also too
long has bent under the fear of usur-
patton, but believe that there is still
pride. and resentment left. and from
now until election day expect to call
upon her people by their unanimous
vote to spum the price of peace at
the price of independence, and | ask
them now in the language of Patrick
Henry. is life SO lead, or peace so
sweet as to he purchased at the price
of chains and slavery?"

The Beer Incident.

Moreover, what did 1t matter,
what Blease said2 Did he not in the
very speech in which he so violently
by indirection, denounced men, also
give utterance to the rankest inde-
cencies and anarchy? Think of a
governor replying as to how he
stood on the beer question by shout
ing that II his questioner Tin violation
of the law would bring him up to the
stage drink of beer he would be bet
ter able to answer the question. OF
course, it was grilling for me to have
to SIT and listen to Blease's lies. The
idea of his making in it appear that
the beginning of our troubles was
when he refused to appoint negro
notary public, whose appointment, by
the way, had asked only as a favor to
gentlemen in Charleston who were not

MAYOR GRACE TAPS

a Breezy Interview on the Charleston

tice of and, II he could, answer the
charges which l have so publicly
made against him." said Mayor
Grace Saturday night, in statement
replying to the attack made upon
him by the Governor in his speech
at the State campaign meeting held
Friday evening at the Hibernian
Hall. 1t will be remembered that
Governor Blease, when he had aaish ed
his attack on Judge Ira B. Jones spoke
Of the breach between Mayor Grace
and himself, which grew out OF his
appointment over Mr.. Grace's protest,
OF whiskey constables in Charleston.
This led up to charges by the Mayor
that graft could be traced practically
up to the Governor, which accusation
was followed by the dispensary in
yestigating committee of the Legis-
lature coming to Charleston and hold
ing an investigation.
The Governor denounced any man
accusing him Of having received
graft through the wkiskey consta-
bles as malicious characterized
and cowardly liar. He read letter
from Mayor Grace asking him not
to dismiss local notary who was a
negro. The feature of this address
which made the deepest impression,
was that II Charleston voted for
Jones, he would do all in his power
to place the metropolitan police here
and govern Charleston by injunction.
He referred lightly to the results of
the recent investigation held by the
Legislative investigation committee,
and said that if any one would say
to Chief Constable Stothart's face
that he had received graft, furnish
ing the proof, he would discharge
him.
Mayor Grace was in the audience
at the Hibernian Hall when Cover
nor Blease attacked him so severely,
but he held his peace and made no
reply. Saturday night he gave out
the following statement:
The Mayors Statement.
"Of course it was anticipated by
me that Governor Blease would be
compelled at the Charleston meet
ing to take notice of, and If he could,
answer the charges which | have so
publicly made against him. There
was no escape from this necessity.
The only matter over which / had
any doubts was whether or not |
should attend the meeting, and with
my own ears hear what he had to
say. My friends practically unani-
mously advised me against it, AS it
happened, | was on the Isle of Palms

INDICATIONS IN MINNESOTA POINT
TO PLURALITY FOR GOV. WILSON

In Minnesota the easiest and the
quickest way for a candidate for office
to commit political suicide is to cham
pion the cause of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. If one doubts this state
ment let him recall the fate of Mime
sofas two distinguished "Jims"-the
Hon. James T. McCleary and the Hon.
James A. Tawney. They couldn't get
the tariff wall high enough to suit Nc
Cleary. He wanted to stand pat on
the Dingley bill and so, after long
career in Congress, the voters retired
him before he had a chance to vote
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-10-01

for the Payne-Aldrich measure. Taw-
ney held on for a term longer. He
voted for the bill and then went home
and asked his constituents to approve
his course. He brought President
Taft into his district and had him tell
the people that the Payne-Aldrich bill
was the best tariff law ever enacted"
But even that was not effective, and
despite the fact that Tawney had risen
to place and power in the House he
was retired to the political scrap heap
because he had opposed honest tariff
revision which his people demanded.
Not SO with that foxy old veteran,
the Hon. Knute Nelson. The Hon
orable Knute, although a Republican,
began voting for tariff reduction
quarter of a century ago when the
Mills bill was passed by the House.
and he has never overlooked an op-
portunity to record himself on that
side of the question and to oppose the
high tariff stand of his party So the
sturdy old senator has just won the
.iminary skirmish in his battle for
reelection. He would not have stood
a ghost of a chance had he not adyo-
Gated tariff revision downward.
The farmers of Minnesota after
long years of experience have reached
the conclusion that so far as they are
concerned protection is the biggest
sort of humbug. They have come
to realize that everything they sell is
sold in the free markets of the world
and that there is a tariff tax upon
verything they buy. Hence they
ave Lecome disguised with the atti-
tude Of the Republican party on the
tariff issue.
There isn't man in Minnesota who
you'd dare to run for office on a
platform endorsing the Payne-Aldrich

would repudiate the declaration,
