THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
IN DEFENCE OF BLEASI
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
There is a political campaign 60
ing on down in South Carolina which
is more or less characteristic of that
State. The candidates before the pri-
mary for Governor are Hon. Ira B.
Jones and Hon. Cole L. Blease. Mr..
Jones represents the conservative ele-
ment, while Mr. BleaSe is not only
radical but seems ultra-radical The
campaign is being conducted upon a
plane of vituperation and recrimina-
ton. Fire is added to this guber-
material contest by the winding up
of the dispensary and liquor business.
One Tom B. Fielder of Atlanta seems
to have been in<the past an attorney
and agent for the liquor interests,
and, in retaliation for some things
that Blease has done, he seems deter
mined to ruin Blease if possible. He
seems now to be himself at outs with
the liquor men, as we'll as in tangle
with Governor Blease. Because of
Governor Blease's claim that he will
put him in Jail if he comes into South
Carolina, Fielder does not or cannot
go into that State. The dispensary
winding-up board lately held a meet
ing in Augusta, so that Fielder could
be present to give his testimony. He
promised great exposures and had
one or more detectives, but no im-
portant results ensued. His backing
is a mighty poor backing, being a
combination of the liquor interests
and professional detectives.
On the other hand, Mr.. Blease is
charged with pardoning too many
criminals, and this seems to be true.
From time to time whispers are heard
that Blease has or may have received
money for some of his pardons. We
have no idea that this latter is true,
and whenever this subject is pushed
to the wall there is no foundation
found for it as yet. We have no
doubt that lawyers have prepared
papers in pardon cases and received
fees for same, and perhaps in some
cases claimed a connection with
Blease, but this is very different
thing from the Governors taking a
bribe. 1t is understood that Mr.. B. L..
Abney, who is a cousin of Mr.. Blease,
has been his private and legal adviser
throughout his administration. Mr..
Abney is knoyn as one of the best
lawyers in the State and is a man of
integrity. It was always charged that
Tillman's majorities were largely due
to persistent prejudices expressed by
the conservative element of the State.
The same thing is said of the present
campaign, and it may be true. Mr..
Jones, who is Blease's opponent for
Governor, seems to be a good conser-
vative, but the abuse Blease is receiv-
ing from the conservatives will pro-
badly drive many vote to him on
election day

SEEING THROUGH 4 GLASS
DARKLY.o

In a style characteristic of the op-
ponents of the governor, the Green
vile News takes to task the Rev. DR..
]. A. Sigh upon his remarks at Po-
maria introducing Governor Blease.
Says the Greenville News:
"And again Rev. Mr.. Sigh says, eff
were a candidate for the legislature
and should be elected and find that
"o3ld not work with the governor on
account of prejudice against him, or
enmity to him, l would resign and
come home and say to the people "elect
somebody else" In other words he
thinks the legislature should be tool
of the governor, that those members
who oppose the chief executive step
down and out and clear the way for
the absolute rule of the chief execu-
tive. 1t strikes us that legislature
of this kind without mind of its own,
would be little better than no legisla-
ture at all
By reading Dr. Sligh's remarks,
quoted by the News in the above para
graph, it will be seen that DR.. Sigh
said no such thing as the News puts
into his mouth. What DR.. Sigh said,
as quoted by the News, was that if he
could not work with the governor on
account of prejudice against him, or
enmity to him, he would resign and
come home. By no process of legiti-
mate construction or analysis could
DR.. Sligh's remarks be twisted into the
language which the Greenville News
says ''in other words he thinks" What
DR.. Sigh said speaks for itself. What
the News puts into his mouth was
probably as far from DR.. SHgh's
thoughts as what he said was from the
misconstruction which the News places
upon it.
The News concludes its belabored
criticism of Dr. Sigh as follows:
The mission of a minister is tc
teach, uplift and lead the people anG
surely Mr.. Sigh, who was for Al years
| the pastor of the st. Paul's church
near Pomaria, has not thought ade-
quately of the road upon which he is
| endeavoring to lead others. Public
opinion as expressed by the represen-
tative, professional, educated, busi-
ness and journalistic world, not only
of this State, but of the entire coun-
try, does not in concert condemn a
man without cause"
DR.. Sligh's life of service to his fell
bowman needs no defence at our
hands The trouble with the News is
that in this paragraph it has followed
/ the lead of others who are fighting
Governor Blease, and has arrogated to
itself and the other opponents of the
governor all education, all purity of
thought and word and deed, all up
rightness of life, all morality, all
Righteousness and all truth. Based
upon these premises, the News con-
clusion falls because its premises are

1t is reported that the dispensary
committee may meet in Augusta or
Charlotte this week 1t strikes us it
would suit Felder's convenience bet
ter if the committee should go to At
lanta. Why cause Fielder the incon-
venience of a trip from Atlanta to Au-
gusta or from Atlanta to Charlotte
The committee ought to have a more
tender regard for Felder's feelings
than it seems TO be showing.

In the ooldeums.

We may hear it said of one who is in low spirits, 'he is in the dumps'' or The is in the doldrums," but many who use the latter of these phrases have caught 1t up without any knowl- edge of it's real significance. The re- zion of calms is a belt which stretches across the Atlantic and Pacific almost on a line with the equator. Here meet the north and south trade winds, and squalls and heavy rains are frequent, but the characteristic of this region, which is known also as the doldrums, Is an, oppressive calm. The name loses much of the significance attach ed to 1t by sailors in the past, who, if their ships ran into that region, might whistle in vain for wind, as their sails hung heavily, and all seemed to be

Big Money In Lectures


 No explorer before or since has ap- preached the harvest that Henry M. Stanley reaped, says a writer in the New York Sun, and no man of letters, soldier or scholar has had such single lecture tour as Stanley's greatest. In something like ten cities he received 5000 for his first appearance For the first night in another group of cities he received $1,000 and in still another group $500 Travelling in special car, upon which he lived in most places, and accompanied by four or five guests, he ended the tour with $6S, 900 clear of all expenses. For that first night in New York a charity paid Stanlev's agent $5,OO0, and the receipts from the lecture were $14,763. On the other hand, Alexander Graham Bell used to lecture for $25 a night. in schoolhouses, and the struggling inventor was glad enough of the fee.
