the alleged beers to me without an
order from the foreman of the grand
jury, saying that he lad been told to
hold ii for analysis by local chem
ist.
ASKED for in ormation as to the
date when alleged beers were obtain
ed, the sheriff told me that he did
not know; t5at the stuff was locked
up in the Jail, and that he did not
have time to look on the labels to
find the dates.
'sRural Policeman Frank Jo-nson
later that evening informed me that
he and Rural Policeman Ed. Vernon
had procured the different brands OF
beer some time early in the month
of September.

force to trial at this term Of court
should have been brought at previ
Gus terms of court and as the evi-
1ence has been placed in tie sheriff's
office BY his rural policemen, it is
natural that the governor should IN
quire into the cause of the cases
having been held up.
SIT is surprise to me that tie
presiding judge in his charge to the
grand jury, should have stated in his
criticism of the governors letter to
him that there is no founda-
ton for these aspersions sought to
be made against them Whether
they are inspired by factionaI ill-will
and disappointed ambition l

ordered to spartanDurg, were to in

ity. There was nothing said as to.
any particular cases or people to
prosecute, but to prosecute all viola
tors.
During my term of service as
detective for Soutl Carolina, in every
case which l have prosecuted con-
viction has resulted In one section
of the State where there had not been
conviction in seven years, l made
nine convictions in two months. Just
where the honorable Judge finds
cause for making the statement that
there is no foundation for these s.
PERSONS l fail to see. He has not,
to my knowledge, made any inquiries
into the matter, and his reference to
fractional ill-will' probably could be
traced to the fact that he was turned
down by tae present governor when
mis- political friends desired to ad-
vance him to the top rung in the
ladder of his profession.
'fThere is no politics nor prefer
ence connected with the :act of my
being in Spartanburg. Complaint
was made by citizens OF Spartanburg
county as to a non-enforcement of
law in this section, and tie. governor
of the State sent me as his officer to

Spartanburg, Nov. 23.-In is open
ing charge to the grand j ,ry today
upon the convening of tae November
term of court, Judge Ernest Moore
said: Since you were fully charged
as to your duties at the spring term

of the grand jury, might be influence

ton in certain cases coming before
This court, to an: extent which would
interfere with t1eir duties as sworn
officers of the law. Copies of these
letters, which purport to be based up
on information said TO be.deriHed from
members Of the governors detective
force, have been forwarded to. me
from tie Office of the chief executive
of this State; and while l am salts
fed from my knowledge o.. these Of
fcers of this court and from my infor-
nation as to the character of the mem
bers Of tie grand jury, that there is
NO Foundation for these aspersions

I deem it proper to caution you again
as to the responsibilities and duties Of
so discharging those duties and so
meeting those responsibilities as to dis
arm Misrepresentation and de'y carp
ing criticism, whether they are inspired
by factional ill-will and disappointed
ambition or whether they find their
source in other and worthier motives" !"
Sheriff White has been directed by
Governor Blease to show cause why
he should not be removed. E. F. Ham
mond, representing Governor Blease,
alleges the sheriff refused to deliver
to him samples of certain condscated
beers to be sent to the State chemist
for analysis. The difficulty between
the governor and the local court Of
fcials hinges on the case of B. S. Doo-
little and Wallace Whitlock, who tave
been indicted as wholesale beer dealers.
Their trial has been postponed from
time to time and this has led to the
charge that tie local officials were
shielding the indicted men and has
caused Governor Blease's agent TO IN
vestigate the case.
Friends of the court officials here
intimate tat the trial of Whitlock and
Doolittle is being delayed until Gov
ernor Blease goes out Q. office in he
belief that if they are convicted they
will be less likely to be pardoned by
Mr.. Manning tnan by Governor Blease.
