THE TILLMAN-BLEASE
IMBR0GL|0.
CAUSTIC REJOINDER OF SENA-
TOR TILLMAN TO GOVERNOR
BLEASE'S STRUCTURES.

Columbia, January 22 (SEeclal):-
Teeminp with invective and bristling
with bitter words, the reply of Sem
ator B r Tillman to Governor Cole
l. Elease's recent message to the
General Assembly was presented to
the Assembly Tuesday. Among other
things the communication alludes to
Elease as the equal of Aaron Burr
in 'bamboozling the people, " refers
to the Governor as a low type Of
man." unable to understand high
and honorable actions in Others. asks
him who stole certain kilograms, and
questions him about his pardon rec
ord and his relations with the South
ern railway.
The communication read to the
Senate Tuesday was written in reply
to a message which Governor Blease
sent to the Legislature Wednesday.
In the message the Governor made
a bitter attack on Senator Tillman
and Editor w E Gonzales, of The
State, and accusing the Senator of
participating in conspiracy to de-
feat the Governors candidacy for
reelection.
The Senator recites the six
charges as follows: 1) With writ
ing secret letters stabbing him
in the back. (2) Hypocrisy. 90
With conspiring with w E Gonzales.
ca jealousy. (S) Feebleness of
minG, and (6) with having lent my
self, which could only be expected
of an imbecile, to sign my name to
an article dictated by some one else
whom he designates as a statesman
without a job" and this astute big
Ex."
The Senator takes up these six
charges of the Governor as he re-
cites them, seriatim.
Senator Tillman first tells how he
came to write the Ferguson let
ter" in which he said Blease's re-
election would be a disaster to the
State. The Senator denies that he
was guilty of hypocrisy, as charged
by Blease, or of writing secret let
ters." He then goes on to charge
Blease's friends with conspiracy to
draw him out by writing him letters
asking for his opinion on the Guber-
natorial situation.
Because said | would be hands
off, says the Senator's statement,
did not mean, nor is it reasonable
to claim, that it meant | would be
dumb"
The Senator then passes to the
conspiracy charge. He declares it
absurd and not creditable by any
one except a man who in his desper-
alton made charges in order to fire
the hearts of his followers.
Governor Blease knows that he
did not believe, when he wrote his
dodger last August, that | had en-
tered into any conspiracy with W F
Gonzales" the Tillman statement
continues. The dodger referred to
was one containing copies of tele-
grams passing between the editor
of The State and the papers Wash
ington correspondent in reference to
the Ferguson letter. The dodger
further charged a conspiracy be-
tween Senator Tillman and Captain
Gonzales.
The statement goes on: Il know
never saw MCGOWAN (the Wash
ington correspondent of The State)
or read Gonzales private kilograms
to him, which some of Blease's
friends stole off the wires, and if |
had, it would not have influenced
me at all.
Right here l will ask Governor
Blease to answer point blank: How
did he get copies of Gonzales tele-
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1913-01-23

stickler for the forms of honesty in
others, will he honor bright and tell
US who stole them?'
Il know and assert on my honor
that | alone wrote the Ferguson let
ter and that no one else had any
thing to go with it or anything else
that have written or signed"
The Senator then includes in his
statement a signed statement by A
M Carpenter. formerly editor of the
Anderson Daily Mail. corroborating
the Senator's account of the giving
out of the Ferguson letter.
Says the Senator: The fourth
charge of jealousy is so ridiculous
that cannot bring myself to con-
slider it seriously. Ben Tillman jeal-
Gus of Cole Blease? 1t is unthink-
able and were to answer it serious
ly would be convicted in the minds
OF all sensible people in South Caro-
lima IF the next charge feebleness of
mind
Of this charge Senator Tillman
says: Whether ny mind is feeble
ornot the people will judge for them
selves. l am willing to leave it to
any jury in South Carolina, Blease-
ties or others, whether Ben Tillman
is feeble minded or Cole Blease is
crazy" The Senator then goes on
to say that Governor Blease fought
him in some counties and that his
stand against Blease cost him rs, 1000
votes. This was what l expected"
says the Senator, when | gave it
out, but could not remain quiet af-
ter my confidence had been so be-
trayed," the reference being to un-
Authorized use of detached portions
of the Ferguson letter which apart
from the rest of the communication
were complimentary to Blease. The
delay is giving out the letter, says
Senator Tillman, was due to the in
/ fluence of his wife who wished him
to remain neutral.
Speaking of the primary results
Senator Tillman says: Il got more
votes than he (Blease) did and feel
that | am a better representative of
the State than he will ever be, was
better Governor than he has made
and have made better Senator than
he can possibly make"
Blease, the Senator's statement
says. Gould not wriggle away from
the fact that Ben Abney lives in the
Executive mansion, although it is
the peoples house and not a hotel. y
Governor Blease asks me specifi-
cally to say why | dragged in the
names of Colonel Abney and Honor
able Sam ] Nichols, and if | did not
do so voluntarily. | certainly did
and ask him again to explain why
no one in South Carolina can get a
pardon unless he applies to some Of
Blease's lawyer friends. Unless all
information obtainable by me is
false no man in South Carolina need
present an application for pardon
unless one of his pardon-mongers
has received fee for it.
In regard to the sixth charge,
having lent myself to signing my
name to an article prepared by some
one else, meaning presumably Ex-
Governor John Gary Evans, Senator
Tillman presents an affidavit from
C G Wyche, his stenographer, that
the letter was written at Tillman's
dictation alone.
The Senator says in conclusion,
his anxiety about honesty is pa
thetic and reminds me of Hudibras'
couplet:
With good opinion of the law
Being a low type of man him
self, he does not realize and cannot
conceive how anyone else can be
honorable clean and above board. 1"

Governor Blease's Message.

We have read with care Gov
ernor Blease's annual message to
the Legislature and we are glad
to note that, taken as a whole,
it meets with our approval. The
prosperity of our State, which
he touches upon in the message
is a matter fraught with interest
to us all and it is gratifying
indeed to note that our grand
old State is growing in prosperl-
ty and that her resources are
multiplying year by year.
On the subject of education
our views chime in with those
of the Governors message from
first to last. Compulsory educa-
ton we regard as a delusion and
a snare and we would have none
Of it. Give liberal support to
the common schools of our State
and the colleges will take care
of themselves. For many years
the educational system OF our
State has been top-heavy and it
behooves the wise and construc-
tive lawmakers either to broaden
the foundation or to cut down
the superstructure. We believe in
a liberal policy toward all OF
our educational institutions, but
if any have to suffer from lack
of State support let it he the
higher institutions rather than
the common schools. The sug-
gestion that Clemson College be
changed to Calhoun University
we think an excellent one in
view of the reasons underlying
it. Clemson is either a State in
stitution or private college and
the line of demarkation should
be clearly drawn between the two.
The recommendation to reduce
the mileage rate on passenger
trains to two cents should re-
ceive the favorable consideration
of the General Assembly as
should the prohibition of express
companies charging for returning
money collected on G o D pack
ages. The wonder is that the
latter extortion should have been
allowed to 60 on as long as 1t
has obtained.
There are other good points in
Governor Blease's message that
we lack time and space to COM
ment on and there are also some
recommendations that we consid-
er unwise. The latter, we sup
pose, are merely put in for ef-

MT. Newlands outlines for Uncle sam a great task Can he perform it? The greater the task. the greater the joy in it's successful completion. If this country can furnish men with vision and brain and power to build the Panama canal the same men and equipment can build this project, and will soon be at liberty to do so. It would be a telling stroke in favor of conservation to transfer the train and ship loads of expensive machinery and trained men from the canal zone to the Mississippi valley and put them to- work soon as the canal is finished.
 ' T cannot learn that the last con gress did anything with this bill; but perhaps the people are not, as yet. sufficiently educated to it's great i'm portance and beneficent results to urge it's passage, and two years more of educational campaign may be nee essary to secure it. Then the canal will be built and Uncle Sam free to undertake larger operations, and his experience and schooling in the canal zone should insure the success of this project.
 Let us cast such influence as We may possess, both individually and as a club, for the passage of this great measure: and may we all live to see the era of safety and security, invention and development, peace and prosperity this completed work would insure to Our beloved land"
