"Gentlemen," he said, "when the governor of South Carolina went to /?itv r>f Pharldcfo.i T sat in the an_ U1V V/ICJ VI ? - dience and saw that he had a respect- J ful hearing." The jeers and yells of "Hurrah for Blease!" prevented Mr. Grace from being heard further. He said something abcut the r'ght to free speech being one of the cardinal principles of liberty upon which the republic was founded. Mr. Grace quietly paced back and forth upon the stage, waiting for the uproar to cease. "Where are the police?" cried many in the audience, while many persons moved forward with a plea to be allowed to act as officers. V Postmaster W. M. Floyd mounted the stage and made an earnest appeal for a respectful hearing for Mr. Grace. His words were almost drowned in the rrnsp hnf- in fhA lulls Tuith 'hnnrt n-n- ! raised, he ^entreated the audience to i I allow Mr. Grace to speak. "Whether you are for Blease or j Jones," said Mr. Floyd, "be a man | / and don't disgrace our city." "I realize," said Mr. Grace, when temporary calm had been restored, "that I am standing tonight within the sanctuary of American liberty.

"The man who said that is a dirty liar," said j Mr. Jones, and offered to fight him. A ! j i pistol was displayed, and Mr. Jones i folded his arms and called, "Shoot i me, you coward." All this time others in the audience i. -who wanted order were denouncing the mayor and the police with sneers. Julius L. Carson, Ralph K. Carson and a number of others called on the police i to do their duty and eject the disturbers. Solicitor J. C. Otts advanced to the 6tage and called upon those who were willing to act as special policemen to restore order to come and stand with him. The^e was a quick response, one of the first to come forward being a grav-bearded man well up in years. Arch B. Calvert, Dr. C. R. Gaillard, Aug. W. Smith advanced and were followed by perhaps 50 others. Solicitor Otts then called upon all those who believed in law and order to leave the balcony and come to the first floor. All but about 75 persons left the balcony. Sheriff White, amid cheers, then ascended to the balconv and took a seat among the leaders of the disturbance. Mr. Grace continued. His attempts to speak were continually interrupted. There were incessant shouts for Blease by a howl mob, both in the theatre and without. He concluded with the solemn prediction j that Blease would be overwhelmingly defeated August 27. Mayor Johnson was roundly denounced and a petition was at once drawn up, calling upon him to resign. I Grace Speaks in Gaffney. Gaffney, Aug. 3.?With the S. R. 0. sign exhibited at the court house this afternoon Mayor John P. Grace, of Charleston, spoke to a tremendous crowd of Cherokee voters. The mayor was met at the station by a reception committee and a brass band and escorted directly to the court house. Ed. H. DeCamp presided over the meeting, and in a short and happy speech introduced the speaker. WTien the speaker arose he was greeted by an ovation. For several minutes the house echoed with the cheers of the throng. The speaker concluded by saying that it was a fight of independence against anarchy. Xot once was the speaker interrupted during the course of his speech and at the conclusion he was given great applause. The best of order prevailed. BLEASE MAKES A TALK TO BROOKLAND VOTERS Declares He Will be Reelected Gorernor?Pays Tribute to "Newberry Cotton Mill Boys" Brookland, Aug. 3.?"I will beat Ira B. Jones by 18,000 or 20,000 votes as certain as God Almighty lets the 27th of August come," declared Cole. L. Blease, addressing an audience of possibly 800 people at the Lexington county campaign meeting here today. The meeting was composed largely of mill people, many of whom were ladies. The governor was escorted to the stand by his admirers, and a bevy j of girls carried a large bouquet of; roses bearing the inscription, "Wei r>r>mo Wa, oro vmir friends, find hleSS ! Wiuv* T? V Uri V J V v?, ? ? you. Presented by the mill overseers and operatives." Gov. Blease said at the outset that it was a pleasure to get an opportunity to speak to the people when he could have an opportunity to discuss the issues; that not a single issue had been discussed during the State campaign; that it had been a campaign of "vituperation, abuse and slander;" and that the people had not had the opportunity to judge who was the \ best man for governor. He said that; those "tfho had come to the meeting ! for the purpose of hearing him assail ! bis opponents would be disappointed; I that he never spoke of his adversaries behind their backs. The governor declared that if "it j had not been for the cotton mill boys i at Newberry that he would never have I been elected to the legislature; that j if it had not been for the cotton mill Doys of Newberry hs would have never been sent to the State senate; that if it had not been for the^mill boys of dewberry he would never have been j elected mayor, and that if it had not j )een for the mill boys he would nevp i lave been elected governor of South j Carolina." He urged the mill people to turn j -n election day and see that he j eceived a fair count. He said that j nstead of "counting him out," it was i scheme of the opposition to send in insufficient number of tickets to ;he strong Blease boxes so that the Deople would be deprived of the right' :o vote. Gov. Blease is evidently anxious to . lave a senate aud legislature elected J :his year th.it will be in sympathy j crith him, for he made a vigorous at- ! :ack on State Senator Crosson, who is I seeking re-election. At one time dur- j v a (<T,, I ^ ^ - /VATTAHn 11 Ir'p illg me speccil luvguvciuui oa.ua. 11,0 no need to elect me governor and reflect your State senator." The governor received an ovation when he sat down, and was carried from the stand to his automobile on the shoulders of his admirers. It was a Blease crowd, it being esti- ; mated that 7a per cent, of the audience | were his followers, it being a meeting I for Blease. ? JONES IS CHEERED AT HEATH SPRING Candidate for Governor Given Ovation. Business Was Suspended. Lancaster, Aug. &.?in response tu an invitation from Heath Spring to address a mass meeting of citizens of that place today, Judge Ira B. JOnes, though seriously handicapped by reason of a bad throat, spoke enthusiastically and with telling effect there this afternoon to a great crowd of voters besides several hundred cheering WOrn on onrl r-hildrori This was a gala day in Heath Spring, j Business of every kind was temporarily suspended in honor of South Caro- j lina's distinguished candidate for gov- j ernor and probably no public servant! in Lancaster county has ever been ac- : corded so great an ovation or been re- i ceived with greater wormth of hospi- J tality and feeling than was Judge Jones today by the good and law abiding citizens of Heath Sprins. Banners were in evidence all over town bearing the slogans: "Heath Sprins: for Jones," "God save our State," "Jones is the right man and we will stand by him." At the conclusion of Judge Jones' address the stand upon which he spoke was literally covered with floral tributes to him of unusual beauty and design, while the school girls and women, with great gusto, sang several Jones songs of their own composition, and the men and boys gave many hurrahs for Jones. This was primarily a great Jones day and be it said the crowd of 700 f i people was easily a Jones crowd. If j Blease's name was mentioned here today, except by Judge Jones, who stated to the audience that in the absence of his adversary he would not criticise his administration, this correspondent did not hear it.

Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife of the chief of staff of the j army; Mrs. Beekman Winthrop, wife-: of the assistant secretary of the navy,' and Mrs. G. A. McClintock, the only i women present, sat just below the 1 platform, while around tnem in a nair; circle were grouped the members of the committee, senators and congressmen and other invited guests. The affair was informal. Most of the committee and congressmen appeared in conventional dress, but former Speaker Cannon who was told yesterday he could attend in his "shirt sleeves" ana De comioriaDie, was one of the few to wear a frock coat. Taft as a Waiter. The president apparently enjoyed the occasion immensely. After his speech he disappeared in his private apartments for a few minutes, returning wearing a silk house coat instead of his formal dress and acted as waiter for Mrs. Taft and the other women and mingled among the guests asked to luncheon in the State dining room.

Hilles, of the Republican national committee. $1,000 for Taft Campaign. With several hundred politicians present there was plenty discussion about political subjects. Senator New ell Sanders, of Tennessee, contributed to the excitement by announcing that he had contributed $1,000 to the Taft campaign fund. The announcement brought forth the information that so far no treasurer of the committee had been named, and Mr. Hilles predicted that a choice would not be made for uajo. Taft's Speech. Although Mr. Taft defined in detail the issues of the campaign as he saw them, he reserved the right to amplify his statement in a letter as the campaign develops.
