FRIDAY IS NO LONGER
HANGMAN'S DAY IN S. c.
Governor Blease Changes Day
for ExecutlonS-EIeCtric
Chair Ready August |
(By Stan Correspoudent.)
JOURNAL BUREAU,


COLUMBIA, S. c., June 15.-Friday
will no longer be hangmans day in
South Carolina. so far as Governor
Blease has power to fix execution days,
The hangman is out of it altogether,
for the state has substituted the cleo
trio chair for the gallows. but since
the governor has declared himself
against Friday for executions, other
days of the week will be made to share
the odium which has long been at
tached Ito this date alone. Because the
new electric chair will not be COM
pleted before August / the execution
of five condemned prisoners had to be
postponed, and in issuing the commu-
tations the governor distributed them
over the various days of the week,
Il know of no law" states the gov
ernor, requiring people TO be executed
On Friday and l see no good reason
why this particular day of the week
should be picked out for that purpose.
Friday is as good a day as any other
and I see no reason to condemn it as
Death Day"
Among the combinations is that Of
Samuel N. Hyde, the Anderson county
wife murderer, whose day of execution
is now set for September g. He is
the last of the five to be executed and
will thus be deprived of his wish to
be the first to break in" the new
electric chair. All the others are ne
groes and their execution days are as
followsi William Reed. August s.;
Isaiah Butler, August IA; John Cole,
August %; Ernest Mulwee, August 3d.

GRACE HAS NO PROOF THAT
BLEASE RECEIVED GRAFT
(By STAFF Correspondent.)
JOURNAL BUREAU,
Jerome Hotel.


COLUMBIA, S. c., June 15.-"We
wonder what proof Mayor John P.
Grace, of Charleston S. e, has of his
charges of graft against Governor
Blease."
This is the question most asked with
reference to the sensational statements
that have been appearing in the may
or's paper, Common Sense, and have
stirred the state, and on account of
which Mr.. Grace has been summoned
to appear before the dispensary inves-
tigating committee.
IF the charges are proved it will kill
Blease politically, but If they fall fiat,
it will help him." so has run the COM
ments.
In a statement yesterday the gov
ernor denounced Mr.. Grace as liar
and coward. In today's issue of the
Common Sense Mr.. Grace makes reply
in which he says he has no proof that
the governor personally received any
graft, but has evidence of the utmost
circumstantiality tending to trace it to
him. Mr.. Graces reply is as follows:
I'VE have said that we traced this
graft practically up to the governor
himself. 1t will be noted that what
the governor says in reply is that any
one who states that he had received
liar and a coward. This is not the
point. Upon 1T there can be no issue
between the governor, and us. If we
had competent proof to show that the
governor did himself in person receive
this graft, our readers may rest as
sured that we would say it, But we
have made no such claim. What we
have said, and can abundantly prove. is
that the constables here in Charleston
have geeeived it and have organized a
perfect system of graft. Their actions
have been coineident with the cemings
and goings of certain persons and per-
sonages whose movements point with
utmost circumstantiality to our eonclu-
sion that the graft is traced praeti
cally up to the governor himself upon
the same character of evidence we
would under oath ind guilty a person
accused of murder"

parade had left the circus ground and

Florentine room, where the heat was
sickening and the air unbearable, Gov

ed he mounted a platform and talked
about the man for whom the whole city
was keeping one eye on the door. Gov

CHARLESTON, June 15--An investiga-

tiles in the conduct of the offices Of the
magistrates in Charleston, which has been
alleged for some time. Only two of the
magistrates have so far been reported up
on, Messrs. O'Shaughnessy and Mat

misdemeanor in the handling of money
connected with their offices.
OF interest among other things, the
grand jury reports that the dispensary
receipts have fallen off 40 per cent, which
would indicate that the liquor drum
mers and blind tigers are showing the
