JUDGE JONES' CODNTY HEARS THE CANDIDATES i BLEASE SENTIMENT WAS STRONG IX LANCASTER. Judge Jones Also Given Enthusiastic Reception.?Earie Hurs Sfcort ind Firlv Wnrd at Lvon. Lancaster, Aug. 6.?A gala day is this in Lancaster, Judge Jones' home town, all the stores being closed and (hundreds of people from nearby sectinnc "havi ?r ncstc.mhlp/1 tn hpar the candidates. Several hundred ]>eople met the early morning train from Camden, expecting to escort the governor from the train to the speakers' stand. They wore Blease badges and followed a red banner beaming a sketch of Governor Blease and slogans in his favor. - On top of freight cars sat many men and all windows and doors along the street from the depo? were crowded to see the governor. But the governor did not come on the morning train. He arrived after the meeting began. Judge Jones arrived last night and he was met at the depot by a cheering crowd. One banner in the crowd at the campaign meeting bore the words, "For Good Government, Ira B. Jones," onJ onnthoi. rao/1 "TJootV) Qnrinom ffir aiiU CL^X\J WJLLV^A, X XAVWWU ^4 i"bO V* Jones." Both candidates have boasted they will carry Lancaster county and there is political intensity in the rmintv Repeating the statement, made from the Sta?e house steps on the night of July 19, when referring to. the KingWatson incident, and saying that his statement was within the bounds of law and that Judge Jones knew it, Governor Blease today said; "1 was strictly within the law when I made that statement from the State house steps and Judge Jones knows it's true. - I said those men came into the mansion and used indecent language. and I ordered them out. X have no apologies to make. If another imac comes in there and does the Bame thing I'll give him and Judge Jones something to -tfrite about" He then explained that the law allowed a man to ordf;r another frorh liis house for cause and to use force in doing it, and if necessary to "kill Ihim." He further said that if a man would come Into the home of one in the crowd and use such language "you knock him down, and throw him out and if a jury in South Carolina are fool enough to convict you, I'll wire you a pardon." He -added that he meant what he said and had no apologies to make for it. He called attention to the fact that Judge Jones had failed to accept his challenge and *mako an affidavit that no corporation money was being used in his campaign. Governor Blease read part of a letter he said was written by Mr. Thurmond, Judge Jones' manager, in which some person asking for money was referred to Col. Leroy Springs, the governor remarking that such action seemed strange. At this point Coi. Springs, from the audience, asked if he could interrupt the governor, who replied that he would not be interrupted during his speech, but when he finished would answer questions from any lady or gentleman. . "This is one of Jones' gags to interrupt me," said the governor, "and T T\Armif if AT ill J. ?UU t JJ^X'JLUll IV iiVlAi VUllVU xxnt Springs or anybody else." Governor Blease took a hand primary and it appeared from this that the Blease sentiment-might be in the ascendancy in the crowd. However, there were many who did not hold up their hands and Jones followers were many. Governor Blease was escorted to the stage before his speech and +V>/-> oftoi- it hv a 'hrtwlino iuata iw iv>iu ui.wi iv kij u, uV ii throng, headed by the bearer of the red Blease banner. The crowd was demonstrative but good order prevailed. Judge Jones was introduced first to the 2,.500 people who heard him and Governor Blease speak. There were many ladies present and these were enthusiastic in clapping for him. Long applause greeted Judge Jones and he was heard attentively. "I honor the office of governor of South Carolina," said Judge Jones. "I don't say I honor the occupant of the governor's office. I do not admire the man who fills the governor's office. But I have not attacked him personally. I have only attacked his public record." Judge Jones made local application of his denial of the "social equality" charge when he named several other fif the* hniJdp wifh him who UlUil UViJi VI IUV vored as he did. He named Dr. T. J. Str&it, now a member of the senate, and he s -id that at the time of the defeat of the separate coach bill Dr. Strait made no recorded protests against such legislative action. Dr. Strait was the most persistent supporter of the governor in the 1912 senate. "Lancaster county will have the next governor even though you don't vote for me," said Judge Jones, affirming that the people of his county would stand by him. When he completed his speech he was presented with a dozen floral creations, which he received with fitting remarks. When Governor Blease was an v,^ TT700 crr'o.otoH wifh lr?nr? and IIUUUV^U 1ic WW to* V ^ v* enthusiastic shouts. "How in the dickens does he count it out that Lancaster is going to get the governor?" asked Governor Blease, explaining that Blease, Jones and Duncan had all been born and reared , ia N'ewberry county. Some one in th-i crowd raised a vcico as though to address a question to the governor. "No, you wait till I get through and then I'll talk to you," said the governor. And he asked that any who wanted to ask him questions wait till after he finished. Governor Blease Said Jones had worked to have himself put on the supreme bench over the then senior associate justice, a thing which he j said was beyond precedent. Gover- i nor Blease's only reference to the ! "separate coach" charge was the state- j ;ment that he believed that Judge Jones' vote on this measure in the nineties was not not vote of Lancaster county. This was received with some applause. Governor Blease was handed several bouquets of flowers. It was said here today 300 operatives of the Lancaster cotton mills walked out to attend the -m^etiner and that the mill was forced to close down. Earle Hurls Ugly Word at Lyon. The race for attorney general developed a new sensation here today when J. R. Earle hurled at Lyon the | expression: j "Wilful and malicious liar" and j when Attorney General Lyon drew j back his fist to strike Earle, the chair- I man, Mr. R. S. Stewart, interfered and i trouble was avoided. Attorney General Lyon in his speech I said that certain statements made by Earle yesterday carried false insinuations. He was referring to Earle's statement read at Camden yesterday showing Lyon's expenditures while on a trip in connection with his office to Cincinnati. Earle later denied that he had insinuated against Lyon's character and he asked Lyon: "Do you mean to say . that I made insinuations against your character?" Lyon replied that Earle's remarks did not reflect on him and Earle replied: "If you say I reflected on your character, you are wilful and malicious j jliar.' At this point Lyon started to I hit Earle and the chairman interfered. ' 1 1 ' J T ?* M r\ 4- if Vtrt Ttrop "h nrt f _ i 10 IU1U -LO UU UiUC 11 lie ?ao iiuiicling a personal encounter he would j meet him at the hotel later. No trouible was later reported. | The crowd quickly thinned when the j governor concluded, only a remanant remaining to hear Mr. B. B. Evans, who arrived late at the meeting and spoke out of his regular time. Mr. Evans repeated the charges he has made time and time again against AtI torney General Lyon, who returned to the stand, prepared to reply to his op Iponent. In his reply Mr. Lyon went into details concerning the alleged payment ;of a sum of money by ex-Governor I John Gary Evans to prevent criminal ^prosecution of his brother, B. B. Evans. The attorney general read the | letter of the former chief executive and I referred to it as "hair splitting." In !the letter ex-Governor Evans stated ! that no threat ofl criminal prosecution of his brother had been made to him. Mr. Lyon remarked that John Gary Evans gave the facts so far as he knew them at the time. Following is the letter of ex-Go v'ernor Evans to Attorney General Lyon: ; "Spartanburg, S. C., Aug. 2, 1912. j "The Hon. J. Fraser Lyon, Columbia, S. C.?Dear Sir: T notice in your speech at Aiken, that you stated that |l had paid money for B. B. Evans, to i jkeep him from being prosecuted, and that I had never denied the same. "I am sorry to be brought into your j campaign, but I desire to deny the statement and feel compelled to do so. I i ue lticto ciic IUMUH o. I "Mr. George Rembert, of Columbia, i wrote me that he had a claim for collection against B. B. Evans and that it ought to be paid. I wrote to Mr. j Rembert that I would write to my | brother, and i?> the claim was a j'i.st ' one I would see chat his client should j not lose anything. I wrote to B. B. ; Evans and told him that if he did not pay the claim on a specified date, I ! Vnt liroritior fm-m o n r? rp ' * UUH.I. .>Vl ir cu 1? VJU u^u ? ~ ccivina: a letter from Mr. Rembert starling that the claim had not been paid. ! I sent him my check. This is, all there | is to it. Xo threat of prosecution was ever made to me. I have written Mr. Rembert asking him if he remembered making any such threat; he writes me that he does not. I have tiis entire ' record should you desire it. Very truly yours, "John Gary Evans." Mr. Lyon stated that he had the complete record of this matter in his possession and in reply to the letter of the former governor, said he would have the record at Spartanburg Friday and would be glad to have Mr. Evans look it over, believing that the latter would be convinced that bis brother, B. B. Evans, was threatened with criminal prosecution when the money in question was paid. Mr. Lyon also Dromised to correct any misstate \ ment on his part that might be called to his attention. <$> <$ <$> LODGE DIBECTOKY. <$> <$> <$> Wodmen of t&e World. Maple Camp, No. 437, W. 0.

I had about given up the hope joi ever being cured "when my son-ini . i ? law procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills for me at W. E. Peiham & Son's drug store. He had read that they were good for kidney trouble and induced me to try them. I did so and after I had taken the contents of two boxes my backache had disappeared and my kidneys had been restored to their normal condition.
