PECULIAR DEATH OF BABY.
Choked to Death by Nipple From
Nursing Bottle.

Greenville, Jan. 1.-THE 2-nonths-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Pruitt,
of this city, met death in a most un-
usual manner early this afternoon,
when the nipple of a milk bottle, from
which it was feeding, slipped so far
down it's throat as to choke it. It
seems that the child was placed in it's
crib by it's mother and the nursing
bottle inclined On the pillow by its
head. The nipple was placed in the
baby's mouth, and in this manner the
mother left it for a short while. Re-
turning, she discovered her baby dead,
the nipple of the bottle having slip
ped far down it's tiny throat.

BIease's Message is a Good One.

It will have to be admitted that
Governor Blease's message to the leg
islature is strong, in many respects
sensible and voices some criticisms
that are undoubtedly the sentiment Of
the great majority of the people Of the
State.
There is believed to be lot of ex-
travagance in the State government
and probably some useless offices. The
governor mentions as such the State
bank examiner, commissioner of agri-
culture, game warden and State geo.
logist. There is great waste, as he
says, in the State printing. besides in
efficiency and delay in executing the
work.
The so-called higher~institutions Of
learning have been given unnecessar-
lily large appropriations from the
State treasury to do work of no die-
ferent character nor higher grade
than is done at the UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges and in some cases with a
much smaller student body. Mr..
Blease vetoed some of these appro-
priations at the last session of the
legislature. His argument to sustain
his position is unanSWerable. The
State institutions should be equipped
to do work not being done by the pri-
vately-owned colleges or they should
get off the pay roll.
The governor paus himself on the
back because he was able to borrow
money in New York On the States
credit, such as State, to get money
conditions in the great financial cen
tres for the past year have made it
easy for a borrower of the highest
credit, such as tSate, to get money
at low rate of interest. This was
made possible because on account of
the dullness in general business. all
over the country there was much idle
capital in the money centres.
The governor has done wisely in
cutting off the custom of having the
governors Office subscribe to and pay
for every newspaper in the State out
of the contingent fund. Most of these
papers were not read, many of them
not worth reading, and the money paid
for them was wasted.
With the exception of the governors
usual self-laudation at every opportu-
nifty the message is a good one. It is
the best thing that Blease has done
since he became governor and it will
make up in some degree for many Of
his shortcomings. There IS no ques-
tion that it expresses views held by
many who did not vote for him, and
to that extent will strengthen him po-
litica1ly.

WILLIS REPLIES TO BLEASE.
Defends His Position on "BeltOn In.
cident"- t"-BIack-Hand Letter.

| Columbia, Jan. ia feature of the
proceedings in the house of represen-
5atives today were the remarks OF
Representative ]. Archie Willis, Of
Laurens county, rising to a question
of personal privilege and replying to
the attack made upon him yesterday
by Gov: Blease in his special message
relating to the libel act, now known
as his. newspaper message In the
course of Mr.. Willisis remarks Rep
-esentatiye W. W. Dixon, Of Fairfield,
suggested that Mr.. Willis was out of
order in the nature of the remarks he
was making, but was overruled by
Speaker Smith. Appealing to the
HOUSE. from the decision Of the speak
er, Mr.. Dixon's motion was lost, he
alone supporting it.
Mr.. Willis was the editor Of the
Belton Times and was among others
denounced yesterday by Gov. Blease
as liar, accompanied by number
of adjective qualifications, with parti-
cular reference to the now famous
"Belton Incident" Prefacing his de-
fence on this point, Mr.. Willis said:
"Despite the fact that I hold in my
hand a letter from the Black Hand
I of South Carolina as the writer or
writer's are pleased to term them
selves, warning me thai if again pay
my respects to the governor of South
Carolina I shall be killed in short Or
der, I want to take this opportunity
of defending myself against the un-
called for attack of his excellency in
special message yesterday, when he
took occasion to call me liar, to
which was added certain adjectiVes
peculiarly all the governors own"
It is recalled that last, summer the
Belton Times, of which Mr.. Willis is
editor, published an account of an al
legged insult to the young lady ticket
agent at Belton by Gov. Blease. This
was substantiated by an affidavit from
the yourg lady herself, Miss Mary J.
Rogers, and corroborated by an ah-
davit by Mr.. Jas. M. Alexander, by
stander. Some time later the COVER
nor produced an affidavit from Miss
Rogers which contradicted her for
mer statement and vindicated him of
the charge of any misconduct
Mr.. Willis in his remarks before the
house yesterday produced the original
afidavits of Miss Rogers and Mr.. Alex
ander and repeated his statement thai
his account of the incident was C:
rect, and assigned reasons why a con-
Trajectory affidavit was made later.
AS to the boasted politeness and
courtesy of the governor, Mr.. Willis
declared that his very message to the
general assembly was an insult.
"Gentlemen," said he, "I appeal to
you to know if I am not speaking the
truth when I say that his every mes
sage to the general assembly is filed
with insult. They are couched in
such language that the gentlemen to
whom they are addressed hang their
heads in shame upon hearing them
We are filed with disgust, and from
every row of seats in this house the
fervent cry goes up, oh, Lord, how
long, how long!'"
