ton.
Columbia, Aug. 1.-Governor Blease
today branded as false the statements
attributed to him by Mayor John p.
Grace, of Charleston, which the latter
alleges were pJade during a conversa-
ton between them while they were
polltlcal friends. Denouncing the
Negro Story" as utterly untrue, he
says, Am satisfied that all of the
people Of South Carolina will agree
with me that nobody with any gentle
manly instinct whatever would make
such foul and filthy statement"
Branding as untrue the statement
that he "wet nursed" McDufie Hamp-
ton in the election two years, ago, and
that he paid the expenses of his race
out OF money furnished by the South
ern Railway, the governor says:
When he spoke of the son Of South
Carolina's grand old hero, Wade
Hampton, as a common drunkard, he
speaks falsely and places himself be-
meath the notice of any man with pure
white blood in his veins"
He bitterly scores Mayor Grace and
the newspapers and submits affidavits
from DR.. w. G.. Houseal, who attended
him when he was inaugurated, and
from r. c. Wright, the then clerk at
Wright's Hotel. to refute the charge
that he was drunk on the eve of his
Inauguration.

told him that he never could have
been elected governor but for the pri-
mary system. He admitted that, but
replied very contemptuously about the
primary in general.
He said: For instance, you people,

to that effect, and told him of course

reason to know it.

After the first part Of h statement
Mayor Grace replied to the Graves
statement concerning him. He said he
wanted the people of South Carolina
to consider carefully his charges of
corruption in connection with the cleo
ton of Hampton and he asks whether
or not the governor is doing the same
thing in the campaign this year.
He replies to the insinuations made
on the stump by Bicase that Blease's
cousin, Ben. Abney, could reach the
ears of the supreme court through the
son Of the Chief Justice Charlie Jones.
He charges Blease with being the
stakeholder for corporations when
going about the state posing as the
peoples friends "and dealing out mon
ey in dribblets to a common drunkard
for the Southern Railway"
Has Written Proof.
Mayor Grace says that he has writ
ten proof that he did support Blease
at the election two years ago and says
this proof is written in his paper,
Common Sense" and that his edito-
rials were published in certain Blease
newspapers. He quoted at length from
his testimony given before the dispen-
sary investigating committee when he
told of friendly relationship existing
l>and the overtures made to him by the
governor to get him to serve on his
staff, and when Blease promised to
consult Grace in all matters pertain
ing to Charleston.

Two Bankruptcy Petitions FILED.

Two bankruptcy petitions have
recently been filed here. John
Robinson, who has been engaged
in the jewerly business for years,
and who is one of the most popu-
lar men in the city, estimates his
liabilities at $4,000, with assets of
about $4,000. Cincinnati, Louis
vile and Eastern firms are among
the creditors. H. M. Wade, a
farmer, formerly engaged in the
livery business in this city, has as
sets of $500 and his liabilities are
placed at $4,000. Both of the
failures are due to dullness of bus
mess AMI slow collections.

COUNTY UNIT BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
BY Majority of "a to IA, Making
the County a Unit In All
Counties OF the State.

By vote of "a to IA the Ora
ham County Unit Bill passed the
Senate last week. An identical bill
known as the Niles Bill had previ-
ously been passed by the House by
a vote of 70 to 10.
Under this law the people of any
county in the State will have the
right to vote on the question of
whether intoxicating liquors shall
be sold within its boundaries. The
effect of the law in Montgomery
county is, if an election is had and
the county goes wet" the portion
now dry" would remain "dry"
and only that part now wet
would so remain, while if it should
go dry" tile entire county would
be dry"
We have heard a number of our
leading business men, who are for
local option, suggest that no hasty
action be taken in this county,
since the present licenses do not
expire until January 1st, 1918: 1t
is argued by them that we should
see what Winchester and Paris do,
since it is thought that local option
here, with whiskey being sold in
our neighboring cities, would not
only have an injurious effect upon
business, but would make local
option ineffective here, because the
"bootlegger" would at once get
busy running from Mt. Sterling to
Winchester, as he now is from
Richmond to Winchester.

Debt of New York City.

The city of New York, accord
ing to an official report issued Jan
25th, shows that the city owes 81,
OBJ. 10000. Reports also show
that the debt of the United State,
government is only 81 ,023, 100000
New York owes more moAey by
$1OO,O0O,0OO than Canada, Chill,
Cuba, Denmark, Norway and
Mexico combined. 1t also owes
more money than Chicago. Phila.
delphia, Boston, St. Louis, Cleve.
land, Milwaukee, Baltimore, Buff,
falo, San Francisco and Detroit
combined. While of course New
York is three times as wealthy as
any of the above cities, it takes
more than one-third of the yearly
income to pay the interest on the
vast debt.

Leaves for New field.

Prof. w. H. Haddock, who fol-
the past year and half has had
charge of the Commercial Depart
ment of Mt. Sterling Collegiate
Institute, has accepted a position
with a similar institution in Chat
tonooga, Tenn. Prof. Haddock
left on the afternoon train Sunday
which departure was quite sur
prise, not only to his friends here,
but especially to the management
of the Collegiate Institute.
Up to the present time. and be-
cause of such short notice, Prof.
r. l. Cord has been unable to Sc
cure teacher to fill the vacancy
of Prof. Haddock.
However, a number of appli-
cations have been received, and
Prof. Cord states that he will
have man in the position as soon
as he is satisfied that he is the
right material.
The Department will be contin-
ued as formerly, no changes being
incurred in the new principalship.

NARROW ESCAPE
IN RUNAWAY
Horse Runs Away With Four
Young Men Saturday Night.
Two Injured.

A horse belonging to Mr.. Har-
try Lockridge ran off Saturday
night and threw the occupants of
the buggy out, injuring two of
them and two of them escaping
without injury. Mr.. Lockridge
was driving with Mr.. HI. p. Reid
and offered to take Fred Morris
and J. w. Hedden, Jr. home. SO
the four started out. The buggy
turned the corner near the Episco-
pal Church where there is rather a
steep bank and in doing so threw
both Mr.. Lockridge and Mr.. Nor
ris out. Mr.. Lockridge held to the
lines and in attempting to stop the
horse was thrown under the buggy
and either hit a large rock or was
kicked in the head by the horse
which had become badly frighten-
ed, it requiring several stitches to
sew up the cash. Mr.. Morris
landed without injury. The horse
jerked away from Mr.. Lockridge
and ran on out High street with
both Mr.. Reid and Mr.. Hedden in
the buggy. A fter passing the
corner at Sycamore street Mr..
Hedden attempted to climb out on
the shafts and get hold of the
lines, but the horse kicked him
and badly lacerated his head and
skinned him up considerably. The
horse ran on out the Grassy Lick
pike and turned ont Antwerp ave-
nue., then turned at Holt avenue,
then again at Sycamore, then
again at Clay street; then again
at Maysville street and then in the
gate at Mr.. Lockridge's home
without turning the buggy over.
Mr.. Reid who had been in the
buggy all this time told US he mad
many thrills while the horse was
making all the various turns, and
while he had escaped without in
jury he would not care to repeat
the ride.
Drs w. r. Thompson and G.
B. Duerson attended the injured
men, who are getting along nicely.

Sons, of this city, agents for the
company. 1t is the latest model
made and will be used by Mr..
Clay as a demonstrators this sum-

years, and all of them have given
satisfaction.

was attended by record breaking
crowd.

was very humorous. Little Misses
Cooper, Settles, and Berry recited

anne, the Marble Dream" display

The feature of the entertain
ment was the singing of Misses
Lillian and Lodema Wood, the
music lovers being given a rare
treat. These young ladies are
great favorites here. Taken as a
whole the entertainment was first
class and we'll worth the price of
admission.
