ed and approved by him fixing
this penalty, and the law of 1915
repeating 1t, which will be found
in the Acts of 1911, page SO, and
the Acts of 1915, page 153.
In discussing lawlessness, he
spoke along the same lines as. in
Greenvilie, and said that he
noticed that killings, robberies.
stealings, and other criminal Of
fences were continuing to be
committed, and that the State to
day, and for the past several
months had been in the most
lawless condition that it had
faced since 1876, as the Solici-
tors records would show. But
the newspapers now, when crime
was committed, stuck it on back
pages, or tried to hide it, when
formerly similar articles were
published on the front pages,
under big headlines. These
crimes were then charged to the
Governor, he said, @but-now they
were charged to whisky. pistol
toting. or general devilment.
He again called attention to
the fact that theLegislature had
attempted to deceive the people
by leaving the State levy the
same as in 1914, and by making
an extra levy for the State Hos
pltal for the Insane and pensions
which really raised the State
levy higher than it has ever
been, and even with this, the
State had been forced to borrow
the sum of seven hundred thous-
and dollars. And the people
will find, he said. that many of
the county levies are higher
than they have ever been before
under a Democratic administra.
tion. The borrowing of seven
hundred thousand dollars was
necessary because the Legisla-
ture, even with the highest levy
in many years, had tailed to levy
enough to pay the extravagant
and useless appropriations which
they had made, thus still furth-
er increasing the Indebtedness
and the real levy by paying in
terest on this heavy deficiency.
In conclusion, Gov. Blease
stated that it was impossible for
a Governor to do anything with
out Legislature, that the four
years he was Governor everyone
knew that he had a hostile Leg
stature, and that no Governor
could make law: and there
fore it was absolutely impossi-
ole tor him to carry out fully the
reforms which he advocated.
and to have enacted such laws

for six per cent money. In the
House and in the Senate, and in
the Governors Office, all the rec.
ords will show, and as my mess
ages to the General Assem- bly,
will show: I fought for it. and
begged the legislature to pass a
law making the legal rate of in
terest six per cent. This six
per cent fight has been won for
cotton, through the State Ware
house system, and now others
are trying to follow in my foot
steps by trying to catch on to
the warehouse system. This
same cheap money which the
warehouse system has secured
on cotton can be secured for
land by proper system of rural
credits. Our Congressman
havn't the ability to frame such
a measure. and we don't want
national interference, even if
they had. We want a system of
rural credits for South Carolina,
and I hope the General Assem-
bly, will get the proper informa
tion from the proper source and
pass law of this kind at their
next session, which will meet
the needs of the people of this
State, and stop making tenants
out of our white people, who,
by having to pay exorbitant rate
of interest on land, are being
forced into a position which
makes them little short of vas
sails to the money king. l tell
you now that the people are de.
mandlng this relief, and they
propose to have it, and I intend
through some friend of mine, to
have the proper measure pre-
sented at the proper time. 1t is
carrying on the fight in which l
have been engaged all my life.
1t is the fight of the people, an>i
it is bound to win sooner or
later, and all the bankers IN Co.
lumbia and New York and Au-
gusta and Atlanta can't prevent
it.
"When I asked the General
Assembly to pass this six per
cent law it was heralded all over
the State that it would ruin the
banks, and yet so short time,
even today, we see these same
banks lending this money at six
per cent, and actually asking to
make loans instead Of turning
down those that are requested.
Scalawag money, supplemented
by Yankee millions, can't rule
the people of South Carolina"

speech, and in fact had been
very highly complimented both
by letter and in person by peo-
pie from many different parts OF
the State upon his speech as a
whole, both as to the positions
he mad taken and as to the con-
servative tone of his remarks.
In discussing the State Ware
house system, and the proposed
big merger of corporate owned
warehouses to fight the State sys
tenn, exposed by Senator Nc.
Laurin On Friday morning, Gov.
Blease said:
My fellow citizens, you see
the great benefits which the peo.
pie of South Carolina have de-
rived and are derivlngsfrom the
State Warehouse system, and
certain fnanciers have become
so jealous of it, because it has
unhorsed them and forced them
to a six per cent rate of interest,
that they are now trying to form
a great merger of corporation
warehouses to put the State
warehouse system out of busi
ness, and to prevent it's spread
in the other Southern States.
Some of these capitalists are
leaving their own States and
coming into South Carolina and
endeavorlng to break down this
State system which has given so
much relief to the farmers-New
York capitalists, and such men
as Barrett, of -s7gusta, and 9th
ers, joining their hundreds Of
thousands to the capital of Rob-
ertson, and to the capital of
Stackhouse and others. in Co.
lumbia, and other parts in South
Carolina and the South, to de-
stroy your State warehouse sys-
TEN by the formation of this gi-
gantic trust. And mark the pre-
dictlon, if they succeed in this
merger it will be a greater evil
than the great cotton mill merg-
er, to which I call attention
some years ago. The people to-
day see that 7 was right in that,
and they see the evil which it is
doing. But this latest merger
will be more ruinous than that.
If the farmers of the State and
the people of the State stand
idly by and let it succeed it will
destroy the State warehouse sys
tenn, prevent the adoption of the
system in Georgia and other
States which are about to enact
it into law, and after It's destruc-
ton the farmers will be in the
hands of these corporation heads
and as helpless as before the
warehouse system become a law.
Proof of this is shown in the

ed in my Greenville speech,
They should be regulated at all
times: butnot oppressed. How
ever, I have no hesitation in
placing my record against this
editors word, for no one has YET
gone in the court and sworn
that he would not believe me on
my oath. Can he say that?
Nor have I ever sold compliment
tary circus tickets at reduced
rates, while hypocritically pos
ing as beng too good to attend
a circus. Can be say that?"
Governor Blease then took up
his local option platform, and
stated his position along the line
of his remarks at the Greenville
meeting. adding that this was
one of the most effective ways
to dispose of the blind tiger, be
cause where a county had pro
hibition it would be in the same
condition as it is today, but
where a county had the license
system those who paid the licen-
Sc would be the most vigilant in
keeping out the blind tigers, be.
cause they would not allow them
to compete with them and pay
no license. In addition to this.
be said, we would get better
llquor. thus protecting the
health of the people who drink

mitted from the drinking of pure
whiskey than there would be
from the drinking OF blind tiger
liquor, such as is now prevalent
in some parts of the State. and
the concoctions sold from the
dispcnsaries under the name of
whiskey. He reiterated in
strong language his opposition
to the bar room, and again stat
ed his position against allowing
any whiskey to be sold on cred
it.
He then took up the question
of taxation. He said he favored |
lower taxes, and the abolition |
of useless Offices, and called at
tention to the laws passed at the
last session of the Legislature
removing the penalty imposed
upon the cotton mills when they
discharged their employees and
refused to pay them, saying that
his repeating act was iniquit
ous, and was slipped through by
counsel to injure the
cotton mill boys and to give
further protection to the corpor.
atoms. He read the law as pass

editorial, they say: "This day
came some afternoon since when
Coleman Livingston Blease in a
speech declared that he was in
for giving the corporations jus.
tice. This man, who IN all the
years of his political life, has
been down on corporations, try
ing to stamp the life out of
them" I have never been op-
posed tc corporations in so far
as they were legitimate and act
ed within the scope of lawful
business, and as proof of this,
I quote you from my inaugural
address of January II, 1911; II
respectfully recommend that you
pass laws that will favor an d
protect labor in all legitimate
callings and endeavors, and such
laws as will protect capital in all
its lawful investments, so that
all of our people may be prop
erly protected, and that we may
give equal rights to all and spec
ial privileges to none" In this
it will be seen that l there re-
quested that such laws as would
protect labor and at the same
time such laws as would protect
capital be passed. In my speech

Assembly while I was Governor
Istated repeatedly that I was in
favor of giving the railroads,
cotton mills and other corpora.
tions a fair deal. but when they
attempted to Cypress the people
they should be called to account.
I made my fight against the cot
ton mill merger, the docking
system, the thirteen hours of
labor, and other wrongs TO the
Iaboring man, and not against
the cotton mill. I made my
fight againstthe excessive charg
es of the railroads and not
against the railroads, l made
my fight against the sury
charged by the banks. and not
against the banks, and I shall
continue these fights. But when
I see corporations being impos
ed upon l will defend them to
the extent of carrying out my
lifelong motto, which I have ad-
vocated throughout all of my po
litlcal campaigns, Equal rights
to all and special privileges to
none" No one will dispute that
the corporations of this State !
have had special privileges, but
that is no reason why they
should be unjustIy assessed as is
now being done by most tyran.

done by them for a purpose
which they are trying to conceal

Last Sunday was an ideal day and the people took advantage of the fine weather. The attendance at all the services was good while that of the Bible school was so there would no doubt have been more had it not been for the fact that several of the regular atend- ants were in Lonoke, attending the county convention. The de votional service of the Christian Endeavor Society was good and helpful, attendance large. Next Sunday the services will be held as usual. The public is invited and will be welcome.
