York county citizens who were In

fair, say that former Governor Blease
was one of the busiest persons In the
whole city Of Columbia during fair
week. Hundreds Of people from all
sections Of the state visited the law
office Of Ex-Governor Blease In the
Clark building and he evidently held
an informal reception from early
morning until late at night. They
swarmed into his office like bees
said a gentleman the other day. "A
number Of clients having business with
the former governor were In his ONCE
while I was there; but they did not

with him. Scores Of York county

into his office merely to say Howdy,'
and there were numerous admirers
there from every county in the state"

Death of Mr.. 3. l. Walker.
More definite information as to the
circumstances. Of the sudden death OF
Mr.. B. I. Walker at his home near
Glover last Tuesday, does not confirm
the impression Of heart failure, then
prevailing. 1t appears that Mr.. Walk
er was In the field with some negroes
picking cotton. He picked up large
basket Of cotton and emptied 1t, hold
ing the bottom Of the basket high of
the ground. Shortly afterward he
placed his hand on his breast aud
spoke Of a severe pain there. The ne
groes advised him to go to the house;
but he said that the pain would pass
away shortly and he went back to
picking cotton. On reaching the end
of the row, he sat down, and in few
moments he was dead. Mr.. Walker
was a powerful man physically, and 1t
is thought that he must have ruptured
a blood vessel. The family had never
known Of any complaint on account OF
