Not Yet Thro With Blease Says Thomas B Felder

Augusta Ga July 13 Special Before leaving for his home in Atlanta Colonel Thomas B Felder gave out the following interview In my judgment we have made very fair progress in the investigation and I hope a little later on to furnishing a few more grains of sand to the committee from the mountain of evidence establishing conclusively the charges of fraud and corruption that have lodged against the vagabond governor of South Carolina If there is any crime that he has not committed I think that it can be attributed to lack of opportunity or inadvertence on his part I notice that his fraudulency has become very pugilisticly inclined threatening to lick severally or collectively the members of the investigating committee If he will cross the boundary line of any of the neighboring states I will contract to take Alm first
