ENGLAND TO ALLOW
RELEASE OF GOODS
To Permit Shipment of German and
Austrian Stuff Bought Be-
fore Blockade.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Assurance
that Great Britain will relax enforce
ment of her order in council to permit
shipments from neutral ports of Ger
man and Austrian goods contracted for
by Americans prior to the effective
date Of the order was given the State
department today by Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British ambassador.
The ambassador explained that ar
rangements would be made for accept
ing proof of contracts at the embassy
here instead of in London.
Details of the plan; will be given later
in a memorandum from the London
foreign office. Officials hope it will
make possible the release of millions
Of dollars worth of American-owned
goods of German or Austrian origin
accumulated at neutral European
ports.
Foreign advisers of the State depart
ment have been making vigorous in
formal representations in favor of Am
erican importers generally, and have
complained that, while their efforts to
obtain the release Of goods had been in
vain, private interests in Great Brit
ain were getting permits for certain
shipments. Prior to June IS the Brit
ish government, through informal ne
gotiations with the foreign trade ad-
Tisors, had agreed not to interfere
with shipments from neutral ports on
the production of proof that the goods
actually had been paid for by Amer1-
cans before the order in council went
into effect.
After the British ambassador called
at the department cablegram arrived
from Consul General Skinner, at Lon
don, announcing that some of the re-
strictions on neutral commerce were
to be removed.
All negotiations in behalf of import
ers are unofficial, and have no ConRee-
tion~with the formal note SOON &o, be
dispatched to Great Britain protesting
against interference with neutral COM
merce.

who believes in the protection of the
virgin holiness of childwomanhood
and the purity of all woman1ood from
the lust of black beasts can condemn
Here it is just as he said it in Bos-
ton:
Three years ago l had the pleasure
of addressing this conference in Rich
mond. My remarks were telegraphed
throughout the nation, and / was her
aided to the world as chief executive
who advocated mob violence. l do not
propose to go into discussion of that
here; it is entirely beside the question.
Suffice it for me to say that in the
South, the lynching of man for the
unmentionable crime is protection OF
our civilization, willie the practice OF
this third degree" violates the letter
of our constitution at its most vital
point and is blow to the whole spirit
of our. institutions. In the South an
aroused mob is an outraged community
which carries out the law, but brushes
aside with mighty force the laws tech
nicalities and delays. There is no
hypocritical and sanctimonious viola
ton of fundamental rights under the
cloak of law by those sworn to uphold
the law; the deed is open, and ciVillza-
tion and justice are vindicated. And
when mobs are no longer possible, lib
erty will be dead. AS was eloquently
said by a Southern orator not long
ago: 'A nation of molly-coddles might
lie at tie feet of popes and kings,
while schools were being abolished,
libraries burnt, scientific research pen
allied, and the great mass of the peo-
pie plunged into ignorance, superstl-
ton and slavery; but such a nation
never reared a Washington monument
or drank patriotic inspiration on bat
tie fields where brave soldiers died,
or broke out into enthusiasm when the
flags were flying and the bands struck
Dixie Grapejuice dreamers may cry,
Peace, peace but there IS no peace,
anywhere, nor was there ever any. The
elements have no peace; the stars nave
no rest; the clouds toss and tumble,
float or fly forever; the ocean always
murmurs and always moves; the rivers
do not stop, and the deWs are ever
going up or coming down; tie storm
is gathering it's forces, or spending
them, all the time; there is no peace.
1t seems to me, remember something
about 'mobs;' and, strange to say,
these mobs are described as being
pioneers of our independence and in
stitutions. There was that Boston
mob, whose picture used to be in all
our histories at school. You can close
your eyes and see it now; the British
soldiers, standing in well-dressed line,
muskets at their shoulders, and the
smoke and fame bursting out at the
muzzles-and the members Of the mob
falling to the ground. The firing on
the Boston mob fired the American
colonies, and the cry went all bae way
down to Savannah-'The cause Of Bos-
ton is the cause of US all.
Tie dirtiest of all that has been
said about the address in question ap-
peared in an editorial in last Satur-
day mornings issue of the News and
Courier. q newspaper which sold its

after the Boston mob attacked the
kings troops quiet could not last
long"
'In North Carolina there was sud
den blaze of open rebellion against She
extravagant exactions of William Try
on, the adventurer who was royal gov
ernor there; and only blood extin-
guished it (177D."
In Rhode Island, in 1772, an armed
mob assaulted and burned his majes-
tvs. schooner Gaspee while she lay
grounded On a spit of land.
'In Boston a quiet mob, disguiied
as Indians, threw the chests overheard
into tie harbor."
"When Mr.. Townsenu;s commission
ers of customs seized the sloop Liberty
in Boston harbor for evasion of duties
laws), rioters drove them to the fort
for shelter, and they sent hastily to
England for more troops
The house Of Thomas Hutchinson
lieutenant governor at Boston, was
looted by rioters, mad at DE stamp
act. Hutchinson was American born
but an officer of the crown, hence an
enemy to the mob of colonists.
Patrick Henry's fiery speeches were
considered incendiary and in advocacy
of mob action by the Claw and order
element and the ministers of that
time.
OF Samuel Adams, tie Blease OF
colonial Massachusetts,, Woodrow Will
son says: "He was man of the peo-
pie, passionate in his assertion of their
rights, and likely to stir and increase
passion in those for whom he spoke.
Subtle, born politician; bold, a born
leader of men, in assembly or on the
street" ''No man doubted that his
hand Tad been in the play to throw
the tea into the harbor." Adams ad-
vocated the rights of the people; he
agitated the insistence of those rights
by the mObS out of whose riotous ac-
tions grew the revolution which result
ed in the liberty and independence OF
the United States.
Such mob" spirit as this was what
Blease was referring to when he said
"And when mobs are no longer pos
sible, liberty will be dead"
In Boston, Clafin and oSser aboli-
zionist leaders were taken from a
house in which they were meeting
ropes placed about their necks and
they were dragged through the streets
of Boston by a mob of which the then
mayor of the city was member.
Now, what was it about Blease's
declaration that made it so terrible
that the editors have started tc
throw caniption fits. Let's read the
whole paragraph over again, see II

MOBS NO LONGER POSSIBLE,
LIBERTY WILL BE DEAD

Anderson Farmers Tribune.
As was to be expected, the subsi-
died and partisan daily papers of
South Carolina whetted their ham,
mers and started an anvil chorus on
Cole. L. Blease immediately upon. re-
ceiving press dispatches from Boston
reporting his address before the Con-
gress of Governors at I1eir session in
that city. And 10! and behold! Out
of FIVE columns of solid print they
could find only a short sentence of
eleven words to criticize and to use
as an excuse to open the walls Of their
vituperatfye abuse Of South Carolina's
present-day Patrick Henky of the toll
ing masses of the State.
This is what Blease said and which
has caused all the row: "And when
mobs are no longer possible, liberty
will be dead" The expression was
used at the conclusion of compari-
SON of the so-called mobs of the
South lyrching as an expiation for
de unmentionable crime and the Off
GERS of the law in some sections OF
the country doing man to death by
s.third degree methods whereshe was
accused of crime and had not been
tried. 1t preceded a quotation from
an address by a Southern orator, in
which quotation appears the state

sonnet. ing about 'mobs! and, strange
to say, these mobs are described as
being the pioneers of our independ-
ence and institutions"
Woodrow Wilson, IN his history of
the American people now being print
ed serially in the Greenville Piedmont
and other daily newspapers, under
the title, "Our Country, By Our Presi-
dent" has a great deal to say about
4'mobs" and their effect in arousing
the colonists to the action which re-
suited in the birth of the United States
of America and the creation of a gov
ernment for, of, and by the people.
Here are a few "mobs" President Will
son mentions during one week and
within the space of about one-half the
length Of Cole. L. Blease's Boston
speech:
Upon an evening in March, 1910,
a mob has attacked small squad OF
the kings redcoats in King street,
pelting them with sharp pieces OF ice
and whatever else they could lay their
hands on, and daring them derisively
to FIRE; and the troops mad fred, being
hard pressed and maddened. Five OF
the mob were killed and six wounded,
and thrill of indignation and horror
went through the excited town"

political support in "the days that tried
mems soul' in this State, and sup
ported a carpet-big radical candidate
against Wade Hampton for governor;
! which condemned the "rag tag and
bob-tai!" element which composed the
reform movement in tie early nineties,
and had on its staff the prime mover
in the support of a negro against a
Confederate veteran for congress. Here
is what this paper says:
Blease at Boston.
'fWhy there should be such raising
of LANDS on the part of the governors
at Boston because of Ex-Governor
Blease's reiteration of his well-knoWn
sentiments as to the lynching of ne
groes is hard to understand. The gov
eornors invited him there and they
ought to have known what to expect.
His performance at Richmond was
enough of itself to put them on notice
as to what they would probably get.
To have put him down on the pro-
gram for serious discussion of the
treatment of criminals was nothing
short of Insulting the State of South
Carolina in view of the gross and out
rageous manner in whidl he abused
his powers in this regard during the
four years of his incumbency. If those
who asked him to speak on this subject
did not know his record they should
l. ave done so.
Some of the Northern newspapers
yesterday telegraphed to their CORE
spondents in Charleston asking for
:tatements as to the views of the peo-
pie in this State upon Ex-Governor
Blease's utterances. The people Of
South Carolina gave their verdict in
this matter just year ago. Tie issue
of the campaign which was fought out
in SouH. Carolina last summer was
whether or not South Carolina should
give its endorsement to the orgy OF
lawlessness which had been maintained
throughout he Blease administration.
It's emphatic refusal to do so resulted
in Bleaseis defeat for tie United States
senate and the election of Richard l..
Manning, whom the people Of South
Carolina delegated to represent them
at the Boston conference of governors.
The fact that Blease was there to bring
discredit upon his State was no fault
of theirs.
'It looks to US as if Uae House Of
Governors is due somebody an apol-
ogy."
The News and Courier says "his per-
formance at Richmond was enough of
itself to put them On notice as to what
they would probably get" And what
was Cole. L. Blease's performance
at Richmond? In the course of dis
cussion of lynching and the protection
of the class of beasts who are lynched
in South Carolina, the then Governor
Blease said, when black brute vio-
lates the sanctity of white woman
hood, if the constitution protects him,

ton" While that might not be the
sentiment of the editorial writer for

tiary and coddle and pet him until

Portable, and make his last days on
earth as contented and E-appy as pos
sible. But don't let any lawless mob
lay rough hands on his lawfully pro-
tected hide.
The News and Courier says some OF
the Northern newspapers telegraphej
their Charleston correspondents asking
if Blease's views were endorsed by the
people of his State, and says Hcat the
people of South Carolina refused to
give their endorsement to the "orgy
of lawlessness" of the Blease admins
tratien at the polls year ago. This
utter untruth was given the lie two
years previous to the last election in
this State, when this same gang OF
purveyors of misinformation did tier
utmost to defeat Blease for a second
term in the governors office on this
very score and the people of the State
endorsed his record of pardons and
paroles, as well as his declaration at
Richmond, by re-electing him to that
Office over a man whom the newspaper
political combination had persuaded to
resign his seat as d-ief justice Of the
State supreme court as the only man
in the State who could convince the
people of the lawlessness and wrong
in Blease's administration Of justice
tempered with mercy. Blease's defeat
for the United States senate had moth
ing whatever to do with the question
under discussion 1t was brought
about by a combination of circum-
stances altogether different, assisted
by the thievery of the "lawnorder"
crowd which controlled the machinery
of the Democratic primary.
The News and Courier may be proud
of Mr. Manning, whose only assertion
before the Congress of Governors
which has been quoted BY any news
paper was as follows:
Governor Manning said that when
a lynching took place in his State the
county had to pay $4,000 to the fam
lily Of the victim"
This is true, and it is also true that
Governor Manning and Senator E. D.
Smith were among those who support
ed and voted for this bill during its
passage through the legislature, 50 that
