312. Did be still have his free pass
111 his pocket? Was he an attorney
for a railroad? I do not know, and
do not accuse him of. it, but the rec
ords show that on every vote, when
the opportunity was afforded him to
prevent social equality in South Car
olina, he voted to force white ladies
and white children to associate with
free negroes by traveling in the same
coaches with them, by forcing them
to drink out of the same water
glasses, by forcing them, in some in
stances, to use the same toilets, by
forcing them to sit so close to them
as to smell the tilthy odor which they
throw off. Every time he had the
opportunity to prevent that he voted
against it and in favor of the railroad
corporations who were fighting it.
That is some of his record gentle
men.
Has Candidate Jones stood by the
negro? His recent convention re
fused to puss a resolution favoring
the repeal of the 14th and 15th
amendments to the constitution of
the United States, which places the
negro on equal footing of citizenship
with the white man and deprives the
State of the right to disfranchise him.
This resolution was introduced by Mr.
Wannamaker of Orangeburg. All ol
the other Southern States favor it.
The Jones corporation convention
committee reported it unfavorably
and the convention adopted the un
favorable report, thus putting them
selves on record as opposing the
repeal of these clauses, while all the
other white people and all the South
? tviiq in the caDstone
erxi oiaico uw. ... ? , .
corporation Jones?fighting against
separate coaches and in favor of ne
gro equality?places upon his dis
graceful corporation record as legis
lator, judge and delegate.
Now you have heard osme painting
of "Bleaseism." Which do you prefer
?negro equality and association, such
as he attempted to place upon you
or freedom and independence such as
I have given you? Who do you want?
"Joneism" or "Bleaseism," as he sees
fit to call it?
Now he passed on to the supreme
court. What do we find there? I
will tell you one thing you will find?
that while he was on the supreme
court bench, and while he was chief
justice, his son, who was looking after
a bank and a grocery business and a
stock business over here at Lancater,
was riding around on railroad passes
as a railroad attorney. Just as soon
as Jones quit being chief justice that
boy quit being railroad attorney.
Why? Was he not just as good a
lawyer as he had ever been? Oh! No.
Pa was no longer on the supreme
court bench, and the railroad nt
longer needed Lawyer Jones. He
may say he resigned; possibly he did;
so did Pa. The Lawyer Jones is out
of a job; so is Pa. The lawyer though
may get another one; so may Pa, but
it won't be governor.
What about some of his decisions
in favor of corporations, while he
was on the supreme court bench:
cr? 1 ... A P
Take the case 01 iayiur ?a.
L. R. R. Co., 78 South Carolina. This
is a case in which a white lady 01
good standing was put off a train
at Green Pond, in the midst of a
crowd of drunken negroes, who vio
lently pushed and jostled her, abused
her with menacing speeches, using
profane and obscene language, etc.
The agent of the company ran off,
telling her that he was going to get
his pistol, but he never returned;
leaving this lady there imong thai
throng of drunken negroes Sho
brought suit against the Atlantic Coasi
Line railroad and the jury gavo her
a verdict of $10,000. A motiop tor
a new trial was made and Judg*
"?Rtit In and
lyauuici, i vi uocu iu a/uv,
behold, when they got into the su
preme court, the distinguished cor
poration lawyer, Jones, wrote the
opinion of the court and said, among
other {hings: "It is not the tiuty oi
a common carrier to provide escorts
tor unattended ladies," and windfe up
his opinion by s&ing that the Judg
ment of the dircult; cofirf(is reversed?
thus depriving thitf' lady, who ha4d
been so outrageously and indecently
treated by a corporation, of all the
mohefy which a jury of her cotlnty
had given her and which that just'
and christian judge, 4 Dantzler, had
sustained. We flira Justice'" (ribtf
chief justice) Gary disfeifWnV jrftjf
Jozies. Again, corporation Jone*B
saved the corporations $lt),00Q, and
the' poor white lady, insulted by a
crowd of drunken negroes, deprived
of her rights and the nw^eiy which
a Colleton county jury (the county
which he claims was his father's home
county) had given her. He must
have great respect' for'the juries of
his father's home county.
See also the case of Oxner vs. West
ern Union Telegraph comptftt^, JT2
Soiith Carolina Reports, pa'gjg ?10, 63
Southeastern Reports, page
This was where a white lrifly,, a
widow, paid 25 cents for a t<ele?jram
to be delivered in iNewDerry,.
after her two children, at the tirafe
of the terrible fire which deBtrpypd a
large portio nof the town of New'-'
berry. The telegrams was never de
livered. The jury gave her a verdict
which Judge Ernest Gary upheld.
But lo, and b6hola, wh'en it gof to*
the supreme court, corporation Jones
wrote an opinion in w'hich'heaeta'sTde"
the verdict, making the poor widow
pay the costs, notwithstanding' the
fact that the Western Union Telegrapft'
company kept her 25 cents for some
thing they had never done. However,
we are not surprised, for John Gary
Evans was the Western Union Tele
graph company's counsel in the case.
Chief Justice Pope dissented and said
that the widow was entitled to re
cover. Corporation Jones not only
tooK her verdict away from her, but
stole her quarter and gave that to
the Western Union and made the pddr
woman pay the costs.
Again, in the case of King vs. At
lantic Coast Line railroad, 86 South
Carolina Reports, page 510: This
was a case in which the plaintiff ship
ped some goods over the Coast Line
which were lost in transit. The mag
istrate in Darlington gave the plain
tiff judgment for his lost goods and
$0U pCDaiiy. ?J UUge OC<tat? ouoiaiucu
the magistrate's decision. The cor
poration of course, appealed" to cor
poration Jones: corporation Jones
wrote the decision, in which he re
versed the magistrate and the circuit
court as to the $50. Mr. Justice Gary
dissented, standing by the side of the
magistrate and the circuit court, but
corporation Jones controlled and the
citizen was deprived of his rights, as
usual.
Again, see the case of Kirven vs.
Virginia Carolina Chemical company,
58 Southeastern Reports, page 424.
Here is one of the greatest corpora
tions in this State, and one which
South Carolina herself has Jhad much
-?r<r7,n irWnr:' --nm
trouble ^Ith: After We pl?indff bad'
recovered his verdict against this cor
poration and combine, before that
honest and christian Judge, Klugta, we
And Judge Qary and Judge Watts
I saying that the judgement snould be
afnrmed;but, along comes Corporation)
I Jones saying that the judgment should
be reversed. Again, we find Jones '
favoring the corporations and the
mighty of the mightiest, and that to |
th edetriment of one of our own citi-Ji
zens; one who had helped, in his11
humble way, as a member of the legis- ]
lature, and otherwise, to promote the i
welfare of his State. I have heard <
the question asked, "What did that
decision cost the Virginia Carolina
Chmica! company?" ]
There are many others, but I only J
mention these as a sample of the '
justice meted out. Examine carefully '
and see fiit is not a fact that Jones '
was always in favor of corporations, 1
particularly the Southern railway, of ]
whirh his son was the attorney, and \
sec if you do not find that only when '
he was against them was when the J
court was unanimous, but whenever '
there was an opinion for the railroads 1
or a divided court on a railroad case J
that you find Jones siding with thp '
corporations?the railroads. Why did 1
the Southern railway have son
Charles, with his pass, in Columbia in (
the Merger case? Did he question j
any witnesses? Did he speak? Or, '
was he there, getting paid, in case an {
appeal had to be made to pa? How '
did pa and Charles get so immensely J
rich practicing at little Lancaster? 5

The reply of Judge Jones, at Dar
.mgton, is also given.
Judge Jones was the first anion*,
.tie gubernatorial candidates to be
neard. He cordially thanked the au
jience ior the pleasant reception giv
^n him and artsr lurtber remarks u. .
.ocai application took up and answer
ed inoruer theafeierstlcnargea ag?flubk
iiis record made at iiishopviile yes
.erday by Gov. Bleafe'e. HV mention- '
jd brieny the clash which there oc:
eurred over the reply privilege. The '
attack bv the governor was proper, ,
since the record ot any man in pub
lic life is open to inspection ant.
jriticisnr, but he was denied the priv
ilege ot an answer, though th? rult
agreed on by the candidates them
selves permitted such a reply as he
aesired and proposed to make?anu
Jov. Blease stood on the stand anu
-o-operated With those who opposeu
aim in that matter. ; jj
Judge Jones 6aid he had been in ,
public lite tor 21 years?six in th? 5
legislature, one of these as chairiaan j
ai the ways and means committee oi ,
the house and ttve as speaker; fol
lowed by 16 years on the supreme
court bench. He voted when present 1
jn every proposition that came up ,
during his legislative career and in '
the supreme court passed on every
case that was heard. In view of this (
it would be surprising if there were
- ~ * m hia Pn/^ArH which
UUl aUUiC IUIU50 1U U1U iwvau "
.somebody Could lindx something in to
criticise. Otil of tife' 3;000 oi' 4,000
cases decided while' he was oil the
jtftfchj; Ob\\ Blease has discovered
bill three'to ^taclfcqne.of'these being

would not b l liKely, to agree witii the
adverse flndinga or the court, itf one
castf, whefre alatfy had suedVcdrifora
tioH, he mtfd voted tif' grant a new
triil, becajfee there walj no evidence

the otWF case, thai' <fr "my frifefcd
Kirven" of Darlington county, he had
co decide according to his duty and nis
udteFsfetftfitftf of ttftr la* He acted
right., he said, and would so act aga^n. .
Cheers' ^e're' CVokdtf tfy Judge '
Junes'jpareUt^etical erclalmation t|at
he regarded" the * office 'ol governor as a
trust so high and exalted that it v&s
shameful and humiliating to have a? *
unworthy man occupy it: "We -TOtt
not,h?VV0 a croplr in the office of gover
nor. w& tfant no man in that poiii- !
tion wh"6' hW d&rges of graft brought

against mm. .
AY t'd' this charges by Got. BleafBe ]
that he' against Wade Harflfo- j
ton ftiitf JutlW Wallace, Judge Jotfes ,
said he <fio V<fte for Irby for the Uifit
ed States senate and for Pope for the {
bench. Col. Irby, he said, was his pfcr
aohal (friend' and- political friend &d
had conferred upon him the greatest
political- hoifof he hraftf th'etf ditainw,
the chairmanship of the ways and
rrite'ans ddidSfitte'e*" d? the' houfe "Be
side*}" Judge Jones said,-"I waq a re- f
former?and I am1 hot ashamed to so ?
state, even before a Darlington audi- 1
ence?and Irby was the choice of niy t
party. I merely voted with my party." :
The case of Judge Wallace was of
a similar character. The reform can- (
didate was Y. J. Pope, Judge Jones' i
life-long friend, a Confederate vetdr
an bearing the scajs of seven wounds, J
and a: fdlldtf Newberrian alsb. j
By way of contrast to his own
course in these two carfgs; Judge 1
Jones cited the action of Gov. Blease
in offering an auaience 01 veterans m
the Columbia theatre "the pretensive
claim that he voted for Wade Hamp
ton." Judge Jones said that when
he heard this he could not help ex
claiming, "What a shame that such
applause should be received under
such deception!" The facts Were, he
declared, that there was a prelimin
ary vote, as usual, and Blease did
vote for Hampton In the preliminary
vote taken in the two houses separ
ately. But in the joint assembly,
where votes meant something, Blease,
like Jones voted on every ballot for
Irby; "a double betrayal," he said, "a
desertion first of Irby and then of
Hampton." Jones had simply never
deserted his party.
As to having voted at one time for
prohibition, Judge Jones said that for
this he had no apology to make."You
are bound to admit that the prohibi
tionists are good people, seriously
desirous of serving their race and
time." But as a matter of fact, said
Judge Jwf'd, hp wae bound in honor
to vote for prohibition in that cabg,
whatever his personal preferences,
since he had been elected under the
pledge to abide by the expressed wish
of his county for prohibition.
Gov. Blease had charged that Jonei.
was the first man to vote when sev
eral actions obnoxious to the gover
nor were taken by ' the legislature.
"Governor Blease knows better than

that on any matter the speaker of the
house votes last, but that in the juor
r.al he first vote recorded is his," a
ietail of official courtesy.
As to Divorce
"He says I voted for a divorce
law," the speawer declared. "I did. I
oelieved, and believe, that the whole
:rcnd of civilized thought has indi
cated that perhaps South Carolina's
jnique position was not the best in
:hat matter. I voted to grant di
vorce for adultery, no other cause;
ind yet Gov. Blease intimates I wish
o open the way to immorality!" But
he people had written ho-divorce in
o their constitution, lie aid, and
low lie would not change the law if
ic could?and he couldn't if he would
tfe was entirely content to accept the
.erdict fo the people.
T - J/Imiittv in tVm
JUUge JUI1CS picuuui &"'"V ?-?
iharge of having voted for free pass
es. "I grant," he said, "that I was
'ool enough to do it. I thought it a
iriticism and insult to a man in pub
ic life to,suggest that ne could be
nfluenced ,by such a little thing as
i free pass; But it is right that state
)fflcials should be forbidden to ac
;ept even such favors.
"But what of Gov. Blease? When
he bill against free passes was adopt
ed he was not recorded as voting at
ill. However, in 1892, after it had
lu?> it urac nrotifHod t.T TC
JULU1I1U inn, IV ?
^cal the measure, and thou Rlease
vas found voting in favor of repeal,
so that he could get a free pass."
As to Separate Couches
Judge Jones said it was perfectly
;rue that he voted agiinst the bili
'or separate coache3 for the races
>n railway trains in the form pro
josged, because the railways were
jtruggling, and furthermore, it was
jxtremely doubtful whether the meas
jre 'was constitutional. After he left
;he legislature the constitution was
changed and under the new constitu
;ion the legislature was able to enact
i separate coach law that would
stand some chance of passing safe
ly through the courts.
"But let's quit the defensive," said
Judge Jones. 'VI am campaigning
igainst the greatest demagogue that
?ver ruled in South Carolina. I pro

nan against whom no attacks relating
:o character can be made, whatever
jrrors of judgment he may fall into."
On the Offensive
>VWe needen't go into ancient his
.ory to find material for criticism
n Gov. Blease's record," the speaker
jontinued. Blease he said, vetoed
he act to prohibit unnaturalized for
dgtaers from voting in the primaries
?act passed in the interest of the
people of the State. Judge Jones
laid Govfl. Blease vetoed the act for
nvestigation of the Murray commis
uon, though he had asked for it and
lad grossly slandered the members of
hat board. He vetoed the factory* in
spection bill, passed in 1911, and in
ended to protect the people employ

.'or'medical inspection of schools. He
ried, by his veto to crippu t'ru
itate board of health and prevent the
listribution of free diptheria anti
oxin, though this distribution bene
itted the children of the poor, cspe
jially, since anti-toxin is rare and ex
pensive. ;
Judge Jones referred again to the
ict of the governor in pardoning his
:lien, Wash Hunter and said tiiat in
lefending Hunter the governor criti
cised C. A. Woods of Darlington, as
iociate justice?"who would cut off
iia ritrht hand before ha would do a
w "O
nean act" Judge Jones rcpsiavl the
iharge he made at Bishopville, that
he governor, in his appeals to the
itate and federal supreme courts in
hunter's case, tried to "bamboozle"
:he courts into believing a true bill
lad never been found. In Laurens
county against Hunter. Judge Jones
iisplayed again a certified copy of
he official record, showing that a true

lied that the supreme court reversed
tself in the Hunter case by rejecting
