THREE GOVERNORS
WITHINFIVE DAYS
Blease of South Carolina Re
signs His Office-
ACCEPTED BY ASSEMBLY
Retiring Executive Leaves Lieutenant
(Coventor to Hold Office Until
xt Tuesday When Governor-Elect
Takes Oath.
Columbia, S. C, Jan. 14. Cole I
Kiease today retired as South Caro
lina's Governor, five days before his
r second term of two years would have
ended. His resignation, sent to Sec
retary of State McCown, was supple
mented by a brief message to the gen
eral assembly informing- the members
that it also was tendered to them.
Some members of the house of rep
resentatives and senate cneered the
announcement of the Governor's res
ignation. No formal action was nec
essary and by direction of the preside
ing officers in the two houses, the
message was only as information.
Lieutenant Governor Charles A.
Smith was immediately sworn in as
the state's chief executive to serve
out the unexpired term, Chief Justice
Gary, of the state supreme court, ad
ministering the oath of office. Mr.
Blease and several state officials then
accompanied Mr. Smith to the Gov
ernor's office. LeGrad G. Walker,
president of the senate, automatical
ly succeeded to the lieutenant govern
orship. Came a a Surprise.
No, previous intimation of the Gov-
ernor's action had been given and no
reason for it was assigned. The pres
ent legislature is chiefly composed of
men who are his political opponents
and it was said that proposals to in
stitute impeachment8 proceedings
against him were made at a meeting
.of legislators Tuesday night but that
no action was taken.
"I hereby resign my office as Gov
ernor of South Carolina" was the
full communication of Governor Blease
to the secretary of state. It was writ
ten by hand and in red ink. Both the
Governor and his friends refused to
add anything to the brief statement.
The message to the General Assembly
was equally terse, it simply saying
"I hereby tender my resignation to
you as Governor of the state of South
Carolina?'
Governor-elect Richard I. Manning
will be inaugurated next Tuesday. He
has been a political opponent of Mr.
Blease and defeated Lieutenant Gov
ernor Smith, endorsed by Governor
Blease, .for the Democratic nomination
last August.
Mr. Blease at -that time, ' was de
feated for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator by Ellison
J. Smith, the incumbent.
Governor Blease, sometimes called
"The Story Petrel of South Carolina,"
was accounted one of the most pic
y turesque figures in American public
life. Original in conception and -daring
in execution, his : administration
has been marked by manyunusual ac
tions. Numerous grants of clemency
to state prisoners, public statements
which were construed to mean that he
was opposed to using state troops to
prevent the lynching of negroes when
they attacked white women and the
recent disbanding of the South Caro
lina National Guard helped make his
official career notable.
"I love the pardoning power," he
once said. "I want to give the poor
devils another chance. I hope to make
the number an even thousand before I
go out of office."
Over a Thousand Pardons.
Records sh3w that the Governor sur
passed even "his own expectations. Just
before retiring today he issued 27
clemency grants.- Four men sentenced
to life imprisonment for murder were
paroled and four others received com
mutations. Most cf the remaining
number were given commutations. To
days' action made a total of 1,708 pris
oners granted clemency during the
Governor's four years' administration.
Full pardons recently were granted
. approximately 1,000 prisoners who pre
viously had been paroled, this action
restoring their citizenship. Superin
tendent D. J. Griffith of the state pen
itentiary, said, tonight that less than
one hundred prisoners 'are now held
there.

nuns, perished. The college, with more
than a hundred girl students, collapsed.
The governor prisons, jailers and doc
tors and patients in the hospitals 'were
carried down in the wreckage.
The only notable person who sur
vived was the head of the police, Sig
nor Ottavi, who though wounded, has
labored since the first overthrow to
succor the injured.
Urgent appeals for help are heard
on all sidee, worn under the wrecked
buildings but the efforts of Ottavi and
the few hundred survivors have avail
ed but little, for they lacked imple
ments with which to effect a general
rescue. But about 50 persons, all of
them wounded, were taken out with
jrreat difficulty. They lay without
shelter and without their wounds be
ing dressed owing to a lack of medi
cal supplies.
Later doctors arrived and operated
on some of the injured by the light of
blazing torches. They then were re
moved to the station where they were
made as comfortable as possible in
trucks.
Assistance came at last from Arsoli
and Aquila and large rescuing parties
arrived from Rome and Pescara.
Soldiers on Guard..
Thirty thousand soldiers have been
distributed throughout the earthquake
district and already large quantities of
provisions and clothing, together with
wood for the, construction of huts have
arrived.
A tour of the towns and villages
around Lake Fucino disclosed vast de
struction. Magliano in the territory of the
Marsi, seems to hace been ripped open,
its historic belfry which rose about
300 feet collapsed

ing powerful presentations of phases
of the prohibition movement as state,
and national issues.'
There was much discussion of con
trolling the sale of malt in this State,
the contention being that it is only
purchased by illicit distillers and that
there should be legal machinery to
keep track of dealers ana all sales of
the product. The matter was referred
to the legislative committee.
The members of the convention shar
ed a banquet this evening complimen
tary to the members of the Legislature,
.quite a number of both senators and
representatives attending.
The convention closed tonight with
an address by Rev. George W. McDan
iels, of Richmond, "A Voice from Vir
ginia." and by Hon. Richmond Pearsn
Hobson, of Alabama, leader of the
movement in Congress for National
prohibition.
Xo Specific Adopted. ,
The league this morning adopted res
olutions providing for a special commit
tee to press before the Legislature
whatever changes in the State prohi
bition laws are to be urged upon the
present Legislature. It was decided not
to adopt definitely the bill that had been
prepared for prohibiting the delivery of
liquors in this State for beverage pur
poses. Instead, the resolution was
adopted providing that in view of re
cent court decisions in the State and
the Federal courts, there be appointed
a committee to draft whatever legisla
tion is necessary to make North Caro
lina's prohibition law most effective.
The committee consists of W. H. Wea
therspoon, of Scotland county; J. A.
Brown, Chadbourn; C. H,' Ireland,
Greensboro; R. L. Davis, Raleigh; Dr.
R. T. Vann. Raleigh; Judge J.'C. Pritch
ard, Asheville; W. T. Shaw, Weldon.
Stirring: Address by Weatherspoon.
The convention heard a. stirring ad
dress by W. H. Weatherspoon, of Scot
land county, on "Needed Legislation
and How to Secure it," in which he urg
ed most especially that whatever bills
are asked to be passed through the
present Legislature, be drawn with
that care that there will be left no loop
holes through which enemies of legisla
tion can overturn the acts or any fea
tures thereof through Ingenious liti
gation. He pointed out that the cause
of prohibition had lost out in the mat
ter of the High Point case purely
through inaccurate preparation of the
bill which would have just as surely
passed in proper and binding form as
in the loose condition that it was pass
ed to be later deprived of its effectlve
nsB in thft courts. The convention was
bo well pleased with Mr. Weatherapoon's
address and positions he took, that he
was made the chairman of the legisla
tive committee.
Dr. Barton Speaks. .
The convention heard Rev. A. J. B;
ton, of Waco, Texas, on the nation-wide
scope of prohibition, in which he de
clared that the death knell is already
sounded of the liquor traffic through
out the nation. He referred-to a con
versation he had with. Secretary of
State TT. J. Bryan, in which the Secre
tary declared his conviction that prohi
bition in the nation is a certainty and
his purpose to prepare for an early Is
sue of The Commoner an analysis of the
vote in Congress, to show that this is
the case.

Representative Smith's Programme.
Representative J. B. Smith, of Cleve
land county, in commenting on his
views of legislation that should be
enacted this session, declared that a
change in the system of taxation is by
far the most important issue and that
the assessment and the proper listing
of property are the strong features
to be considered in whatever changes
are made; and that in listirrg property
especially real estate, there should be
safeguards as to a reasonably low
rate to protect that class of property
that is a conservation for the future
and from which no income is derived at
present.
As to a primary law, he thinks the
State should have a State-wide law
with the Australian ballot, but with
not too drastic regulations.
In the matter of prohibition, he
thinks it should be seen to that whis
key cannot be shipped into dry terri
tory except for medicinal purposes and
that the present liquor law is not in
accord with the spirit of the prohibi
tion forces of the State now in over
whelming majority, he says.
IF KIDNEYS AC1
TARE SALTS
Says Backache is a Sign You Have Been
Eating Too Much' Meat, Which
Forms Uric Acid.
When, you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au
thority.' Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort to
filter it from the blood, and they be
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all tho
body's urinous waste,- else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when'the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds, and you are
obliged, to seek relief two or three
times during the night. '
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonfui in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. ; This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, " and has been used 1 for genera
tions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids In the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
