AUGUSTA, Ga. July l4.-Governor
Cole l.. Blease Of South Carolina is
"Gghting mad = because of the charge
Of graft ranging from traffic III
pardons to a rakeoif from blind
tigers, which were brought against
him by witnesses who testified before
the South Carolina legislative commit
tee, which concluded its sessions here
last night.
SO enraged is Governor Blease that
he openly threatens to kill any man
who tells him to his face that the
charges are true
Blease is especially bitter against
Attorney Thomas B. Fielder Of Atlanta,
who produced the evidence against the
governor. Blcase also includes in ms
denunclation Judge Ira b. Jones, who
is candidate for governor, and tho
members Of the South Carolina lnvesti-
eating committee. The members or
t he committee he called gutter snlpcs
and political prostitutes.
"If they will come to me- he CON
tinued, "I will call them something
that will make any man in South Car
olina fight,
And by indirecticn he invited any
member of the committee who does not
like what he said to meet him on the
streets Of Columbia and shoot 1t out
with him

SIN my judgment We have made
very fair progress in the investigation

a few more grains of sand to the com

to establish conclusively the charges
of fraud and corruption that l have
lodged against the vagabond governor
of South Carolina.

not committed ] think it can be at
