Henderson got tree about fifty yards
below, and got up into it. Their plight
was known by those on shore and soon
large crowd was on the banks, and
preparations were made to go out into
the river and rescue them, but Mr..
Henderson, from his tree, urged that
they were safe, and begged his friends
to wait until morning. He urged that
by waiting until morning the rescue
could be safely made, and there would
be no danger of any one losing his life,
whereas if it was attempted in the
dark somebody would probably be
drowned. The crowd camped On the
river bank during the night, and at
daybreak Mr.. Watt Henderson, a
brother of Mr. Lewis Henderson, and
a negro went out in boat and brought
in the marooned parties. They were
all right, except little chilly and

in his transactions with the officials
of the State dispensary. Then the
commission and Mr.. Lyon could have
helped Mr.. Fielder in his claim that
they were forgeries, and demanded
the proof of me, and I would have
been helpless. When they get those
letters, some court, and the highest
court in this country, will have to take
them by lawful, but determined, force. %
eff they desire, from a sense of do
ing what is right and just, to see the
original Fielder letters, l will permit
them to examine them, provided they
will allow me to be in the room with
as many guards as l may see fit to
select, to protect the letters from be-
ing lost, from straying, or from being
stolen. They have no right to critic
ize me for this, for l am taking the
same position that their side of the
house took before the supreme court
when the Stackhouse commission
wanted to look into their papers, and
which position the supreme court as
then constituted saw fit to sustain %
In discussing his race, Governor
Blease said:
q have spoken recently before sew
eral very large audiences, and I am
thoroughly satisfied that I am stronger
with the majority of the people today
than l was two years ago. l am re-
ceiving reports from every section OF
the State, from good and true men,

ing, and l am absolutely satisfied that
l will be reelected. 1 have no fears
whatever along that line. Ny friends
are sitting steady in the boat, the wat
er is nice and pleasant, and the victory
is in sight
Asked if he had any statement to
make as to the campaign being waged
by Mr.. Jones, Governor Blease said:
81 thank God that l was not born a
coward. l also thank God that l was
born a gentleman. And not being a
coward, but being a gentleman, never
strike any man behind his back, by
word of mouth or otherwise. There

would be a small pittance to the far
mer. The corporations and the rail-
roads and the manufacturing enter
prises were all in favor of such a bond
issue, and yet the farmers overwhelm-
ingly voted down such bond issue,
standing in their own light, in the
light of prosperity, and in the light Of
future generations. In Spartanburg
county when an issue Of 100000 was
before the people it was calculated
that the farming lands would bear
only one-ninth Of the tax. The cor
porations and other wealthy enter
prises were in favor of the issue. And
yet the farmers voted it down-the
people who would have used the roads
incalculably more than those who fay-
ored it. The only way to secure good
roads was to educate the people up to
voting bond issue for permanent
roads, or for the legislature to take
the bit in their teeth, as they did in
the matter of the new court house,
and provide for bonds without a vote
of the people.
Judge Sease talked straight from the
shoulder, and he received close atten-
ton.
The first case taken up was that
against Gary Sanders and Cole Rock,
both colored, charged with, breaking
into the store of P. H. Hutchinson and
J. A. Sem and stealing various arti-
cles therefrom. One of the negroes
pleaded guilty and testified against
: the other.
The case against "Dink" Can't,
charged with murder, has been set
for Wednesday morning.
In the cases against Gary Sanders
and Cole Ruff, colored, the former of
whom was convicted, the latter plead
ing guilty, of breaking into and steal
ing various articles from the stores
of Messrs. P. B. Hutchinson and ]. A.
Sem, were sentenced to serve four
years each in the colored reformatory.
The case against Willis Rook, as
sault and battery with intent to kill
was continued on certificate of Now
er < Pelham, county physicians, that
he was not able to come to court.

what work is Col. Green doing just
now?" was asked.
81 have sent him to Olar," replied
Governor Blease, "to make thorough
examination of the lynching of the
three negroes a few days ago. His
thorough knowledge of newspaper
work, bringing him in close obserya-
ton, and his knack of getting right
into things made him, in my opinion,
particularly we'll suited for this job.
1 also sent another party with him,
who will do some of the secret work,
looking into the investigation.
81 presume if I had not investigated
it 1 would have been criticised, and, of
course, as am INVESTIGATING it, will
most assuredly be criticised
Asked as to what he thought Of the
supreme court decision granting a
new trial to the two negroes in regard
to putting whom in the penitentiary
for safe-keeping Governor Blease's
action caused great deal of comment,
the governor said:
"I do not care to criticise the su-
preme court as it is at present con-
stituted. l am we'll pleased with it,
and am sure that there will be no
friction between that department of
the government and the executive.
However, I think the wisdom of my
policy in having those negroes remov-
ed to the penitentiary for safe-keeplng
has been we'll demonstrated The
feeling that was against them was
most assuredly very high and bitter.
This has been clearly shown by the
fact that the supreme court takes cog
nizance of that bitter feeling, and al
most entirely upon that ground grant
ed the defendants a new trial. And
understood that one of the supreme
court justices said that if the facts
were as they we're represented he
would most assuredly favor giving a
new trial. l was informed by some
gentlemen we'll posted upon Florence
affairs that if this was done the ne,
groes would be Iynched. I thereupor
had the sheriff to bring them to the
penitentiary for safe-keeping. Fol
this I was severely criticised. The
supreme court justice has kept his
word, the new trial has been granted

This led him to discussion of the

and 1 am satisfied if these negroes
had been in Florence, particularly
now, just after the outrageous murder
of the little Jackson boy, and the feel
ing being as 'bitter as it is, there
would have been imminent danger of
their being summarily dealt with. In
fact, 1 believe there is little doubt of
it. And even now, when they are car
ried there to be tried, with the man
upon whose testimony they were con-
victed having been hanged, and with
the legal technicalities which will
have to be overcome in order to secure
their re-conviction, l would not be
surprised if Sheriff Bunch had not best
be very cautious in guarding his prls-
oners. In saying this, l am saying
nothing against the good people Of
Florence. The majority Of them are
law-abiding, peaceable, honorable peo-
pie, but there is limit to which peo-
pie go, and when it is reached, even
the best of people sometimes take the
law into their own hands and admin
lister a swift justice. Of this in some
instances l individually can not COM
plain, but as governor of course 1 re-
gret to see it.
What about the dispensary investi-
cation now in progress?" Governor
Blease was asked.
ooh, WE'LL" he said, 81 think the Co.
lumbia Record hit the key note Sat
urday afternoon when it stated: "Tes-
timony taken so far has been chiefly
to refute the charges made by Cover
nor Blease against the members Of the
Ansel commission and the present at
torney general" I think it is clearly
seen by all the world that the commits
sion is taking the defendants testi-
mony, and that of the witness for the
defendants, in order to show up every
thing in the best light for the defend
ants This is what I said when the
commission was appointed. 1t is COM
posed of the most bitter partisans. In
their personal conversations, and in
their actions in the senate and the
house, they have shown that they are
doing just what I thought they would
do-trying to white-Wash and clean
up for everybody on their side, and
sneaking around and endeavoring to
smell out something that they think
will be detrimental to my administra-
ton, and particularly to me, in my
candidacy for reelection"
''Why did you refuse to turn over
the Fielder letters to the commission %
was asked.
Because" said the governor, 81 be-
lieve if they had got them into their
hands, the letters would have been
"lost, strayed or stolen, and that each
one would have denied having any
knowledge Of having seen them last,
or that, if they had fallen into the
hands of the attorney general, he
would have taken pleasure in destroy
ing them in order to wipe out the tes-
timony which I hold against Fielder
