What Georgia Would Do.
Augusta Herald.

Augusta Herald.
Whatever may be ones indi-
vidual opinion as to the truth or
falsity of the multitudinous
charges of misconduct and
malfeasance. in otdce-which
come from man sources
against the governor of South
Carolina, there is, perhaps, no
one who can escape the very
definite and painful impression
that the good old State of South
Carolina presents most humil-
iating spectacle in having as
her governor a man against
whom so many and such seri-
Gus charges can be brought.
To say that the chief execu-
tive of a great State should be
like Caesars wife, above sus-
picion, is merely to say that
everyone knows and feels-and
certainly, Cole L. Blease has
not so conducted himself as to
be above suspicion.
For instance, the charge has
been made, not merely by
Thomas B. Fielder and the
Burns detectives. but by the
Mayor of Charleston-a man in
very closest touch with the stu
alton, and a former friend and
supporter of Blease-that the
governor of South Carolina ap,
pointed one Stothart as chief
constable" of Charleston, and
that Stothart has systemati.

To which they replied that the
threat was a jest as they are too

Roanoke World.
Two or three months ago Mr.
W. G.. Baldwin, head of the
Baldwin-Felts detective agency
was on a train travelling south
The train was running between
Baltimore and Washington ano
al was proceeding peacefully
until a tall passenger of fine ap.
pearance began to squabble
with the conductor about a
drawing room. The car con-
tanned three drawing rooms,
two of which, the conductor as
serted, had been sold and were
occupied, and the third was on
sale in Washington and could
not be assigned until after
Washington was reached. He
gave the passenger every assur-
ance that after the train arrived
at the capital the drawing room
would be turned over to him
and that he could make use of it
during the remainder of his jour
ney.
The passenger was far from
satisfied. With oaths and ex-
cited gestures he walked up and
down the aisle, raving and ours
ing at the conductor, calling
him a liar and abusing him in a
most indecent manner.
Among other utterances of
this passenger, shouting so that
he could be heard in every cor
ner of the car, was the theatri-
cal declaration that he was the
governor of South Carolina, and
that the conductor, should he
not deliver one Of the drawing
rooms Immediately, would not
be allowed in South Carolina;
that through the governors in
fuence q he should lose his po-
sition. He spoke in most vio-
lent manner. Every person on
the car, man and woman. was
indignant, and in discussing the
incident, did not hesitate to ex-
press an opinion decidedly en-
phatic. The names Of a num-
Der of them were given the con-
ductor in order that he might
use them in setting forth his po
sition and explaining his con-
duct.
Detective Baldwin, indignant
as the rest of the persons i'll the
car, asked if the disorderly per-
son were really South Cardinals
governor. That's Coleman l..
Blease," he was assured.
On his return to Roanoke De
tective Baldwin wrote a letter
to the Pullman company, set
ting forth the facts in the case.
and the reply received by him
gave assurance that the conduc-
tor was in no danger of losing
his position. So far as we know
that conductor is still on the job
and the convictions of the pas
sengers remain the same-that
Blease is a very absurd and dis
graceful specimaE of humanity.

Legislature Concerning the
IMPROVEMENT of Roads
In This County

AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE
ISSUANCE OF TowNsrf{{zz2. BONDS
FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE COUNTY OF PIcKENs.
Section l. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly of the
State of South Carolina, That
any township in the county of
Pickens wishing to issue coupon
bonds for such townships road
improvement, shall file with
the Supervisor of said county a
petition in writing, signed by at
least third Of the qualified
electors of said township. asking
that the question Of issuing
bonds for such township be

date or dates the bonds are to
bear, the rate of interest, the
denomination and the date or
dates Of maturity thereof, the
road Or roads it is desired to be
improved, and whether the
work is to be done by contract
system or otherwise.
Sec. 2. Upon filing the peti-
tion in accordance with the re-
quirements herein, the County
Supervisor shall order an cleo
ton submitting to the qualified
electors OF said township the
question of issuing such bonds
as prayed for in the petition, at
which election each elector

and at least thirty days notice

alton that Stothart openly pre-
claimed that he was represent
ing the governor in the matte
and that the bulk of the graft
money went directly to tn
governor.
Now, this may or may not b.
true, and most men will doub
the credulity of any and all o1
the witnesses directly involved
in these alleged transactions
But it is a serious charge; one
that seems to be pretty we'll es.
tablished. at least so far as
Stothart is concerned-and yet
the governor of South Carolina
permits Stothart to remain as
chief constable" at Charleston.
The question naturally follows
why!
At least one thing is certain;
if Stothart really had authority
from the governor to levy toll"
on the Charleston liquor dealers,
as charged. then the governor
dare not discharge him. For
the obvious reason that he
knows too much-and would
tell. But if the governor is in
no way involved in this Char
lesion scandal, he owes it to
himself and to the dignity and
honor of his State to dismiss
Stothart summarilY.
Will he do itg 1t remains to
be seen. But by action, or non
action, he may be fairly judged
in this particular matter,
In this connection, it may
not be out of place to refer to
the fact that the governor of
South Carolina, In his usual
'chaste and dignified manner
and for the evident purpose of
making votes by arousing a
feeling of rivalry or enemity be-
tween South Carolina and
Georgians-saw fit to refer to
the governor of Georgia as a
"Sap-seeded watermelon head
ed governor, F" and to Georgians
in general as 'pimps and
cowards," all.
Having thus forced a COM
promise if, indeed, insult from
such a source may be consider
ed such-we can scarcely escape
the observation that if the
State of Georgia had a
governor who was compelled to
deny
That he sold pardons for
cash
That he was hand-in- glove
with known ''grafters''-
That he had accepted pay for
defeating legislation
That blind tigers contri-
buted large sums to his cam
paign fund
That he was a beneficiary of
graft collected from liquor
dealers
Or if Georgia had a governor
who could so far forget himself
and the dignity attaching to
his high office, as we'll as the
respect due his people, as to use
the language that Cole L..
Blease has repeatedly used on
the stump in South Carolina.
There would be found enough
good men and true in Georgia
to drive such a man from the
gubernatorial chair without
emony-if not through the
ballot box. by means more
drastic.
And that, we confidently be
lieve. is what the good people of
South Carolina will do with
Blease-provided the good peo-
pie are not woefully in the
minority in that State.
