FOR THE HOSPITAL.
A call is published in this issue of
The Herald and News for a meeting of
the men of Newberry, to be held in the
chamber of commerce rooms, this
(Thursday) night, at 8.30 o'clock. The
meeting is in the interest of the New
foerry county hospital, it being desired
to take stock of exactly what has been
done, and to get the movement in such
shape that work can be commenced on
thft hnsmital in the near future.
This is an important matter, and it
is very much hoped by those who have
been active in the movement that there
will be a big attendance of the men of
Newberrv at the meeting tonight. A
great deal has already been accom- j
plished?enough to assure the success
of the movement if the efforts are
continued in the earnest spirit in
C -?.L. ?TA?A 1 r* nn/? n?V?ir>V? line

characterized them so far. Of course,
there is some further work needed,
and it will tak# the continued cooperation
of the people of Newberry
to achieve the results which are de- j
Bired.
The ladies have beem zealous in
their work in aid of the movement,
and the result of their labors is gratifying.
T,Pt pvprv man in X^wberrv "who nan
possibly do so attend the meeting tonight,
and by his presence and in
every other way within his power and
ability, lend his co-operation and encouragement
to this movement, which
means so much for Newberry.
The street paying.
The city has been dofng some firstclass
street paving work, under the
direction of City Engineer Norris, in
the neighborhood of the old court
house. At at present contemplated,
the paving will go down Boyce street
to the Crotw^ll hotel. In the direction
of the opera house it will go only a
part of the way along Boyce street. '
While the city is engaged in this
work, it would be a fine thing for the
community if the paving could be carried
011 to the opera house, and from
the Crotwell hotel both ways along
College street, so as to pave College
street from Main at least as far up
College street as beyond the new court
house.
The property holders have been aiding
the city in the work which is now
fceing done. This kind of work not
only benefits the entire community,
but it increases considerably the value
of abutting property.
We\hope the property owners along
tJinsp ?p<*tirms nf thp strppts mpntinnprf
will realize the great importance of
this work, and that they and the city
may be able to get together on a plan
which will result in the work being
done.
Of course, any other paving, in ad
dition to tins, which could be done,
and which may be done, would be in
the interest of the advancement of
Newberry.
Permanent work of this kini in the
improvement of a city's streets is but
keeping up with the march of progress.
And it is an investment which
yields big dividends.
CAMPAIGN DAY IN NEWBERRY.
The State campaign party will be in
Newberry on next Tuesday. There is
no reason to expect any disorder at a
meeting of this kind in Newberry. The
people of Newberry county yield to
the people of no other section; of tiie
country in their respect for law and
order, and the fairness and the couri
tesy for which they are noted have
never yet forsaken them.
The campaign has engendered un- j
usual bitterness this year, and feeling
is running high throughout the State.
Newberry being the home of Governor
Blease and the county of nativity
of both the other candidates, there has
naturally been intense interest in the
campaign here. There has, too, natur- I
ally been a great deal of indignation j
i
J
among the supporters of the governor [
at such tactics as those employed !
such men as Felder and Grace, and
the sanction that has seemingly been
given these tactics in certain quarters
in the State.
The peculiar situation in Newberry
makes it all the more important that
there should be the very best of order
at the campaign neeting here, an
that every candidate should be given
the most respectful attention. There
can be no harm in cheering a favorite.
The proper kind of enthusiasm, properly
expressed, is always in order.
It is expected that there will be sev
eral thousand people at the meeting.
As we say, we have no fears of a Newberry
audience, but the strain has become
intense, and it is well that the
people of the county should keep in
mind the absolute necessity of enforcing
the most scrupulous order. The j
eyes of the State, and the eyes of many j
States, will be upon Newberry, next}
PntVinciocm nnrl r>hpprs for!
JL UCOUaj . X-JXX i/i* uuiiwm v?..v% ?-favorites
are all right, but the good i
name of the county demands that every
candidate be heard respectfully,
and be shown courtesy by every one
present.
The Spartanburg Journal, the Rock
Hill Record, and some other newspapers
seem to be considerably worried
? TIT? TXrtn.o'M on/3 VoTX7o <3nr\ fhp I
over 1 11^ aiU cvxxvi j
Yorkville Enquirer. The Yorkville
Enquirer seems to be able to take
care of itself, and The Herald and
News is paddling its own canoe.
In the report of John P. Grace's
speech in Greenville, the Greenville I
News reporter says that "accepting a !
i
challenge from the crowd," Grace
"asked those who wished their sons to
be like Grace to arise," and that a
"considerable number 'arose."
Poor, misguided souls!
If Grace bad not turned against
Blease, what a different reception
tnese same men would have given him
in Spartanburg!?Sumter Item.
And "if Grace had not turned
against Blease what a different reception"
the Sumter Item and certain other
newspapers would be giving him
now!

John P. Grace went over to Green-1

told him of his private life. In j

says that he knows "of no corrobora-!

any one to so quote me, nor have I I

EDUCATIONAL RALLY.
State Superintendent of Education
Swearingen, Prof. W. K. Tate and
Others to Deliver Addresses
There will be a picnic at St. Luke's
Lutheran church, in No. 9 township,
on Friday, August 16. State Superintendent
of education J. E. Swearingen
and Prof. W. K. Tate, State supervisor
of rural schools, have accepted invitations
to deliver addresses on educational
topics during the day. In addition
to these speakers, there will be
several short addresses by citizens of
the community, along educational
lines.
The purpose of the gathering is to
discuss questions pertaining to education
and the development and improvement
of the rural schools. In
other words, it is Dronosed to have an
educational rally in this community
on Friday, August 16. Everybody is
invited to attend and to bring well filled
baskets. The entire day will be
spent in the interest of education and
the development of the country
schools. It is hoped that there will
be a large attendance on the part of
the people in the entire community and
those who do not live in the community
will be welcome.
Nothing pertaining to politics will
be discussed. The meeting is purely
eaucauuiiai.
' It is probable that other distinguished
gentlemen from a distance, interested
in school improyement, will also
be present.
VOTING FOE MAGISTRATE.
Ruling of County Chairman Dominick
t:pon Question Which Seems to <
Have Caused Confusion.
V
Some confusion seems to have arisen
as to voting for magistrates in the
county, and County Chairman uominick
was asked for a ruling in regard
to the matter.
County Chairman Dominick rules
that a resident of the county otherwise
qualified may enrol his name upon
any club roll in the county, wherever
his residence may be in the county,
and vote at the precinct where his
naaie is enrolled. In voting for magistrate
the voter must vote for a magistrate
of the township in which the
voter resides, and the managers of
election are requested to count the
votes thus cast.
For instance, under the county
chairman's ruling, there is no rule
against a man living in Township Xo.
4 being enrolled in Township No. 1
and voting in Township Xo. 1. But,
his residence being in Township Xo. 4,
he must vote for magistrate of Township
Xo. 4, and can not vote for magistrate
of Township Xo. 1.

Something About Ira B. Jones.
It is right that the people of South
Carolina should know the facts about
+ />ar>r1ir?ato<3 in thp r?OP for STOVef
nor before the. 27th of August because
no one can vote properly unless he
votes intelligently and to vote intelligently
one must know the record of
the candidates. This article is written
with the purpose of letting the
people know more about Ira B. JoneS.
Few people know that Judge Jones
is a man of the people. He is proud
of the fact that in Newberry county,
where he was born, there are still people
living who remember that his, father
was a respected carpenter and his
mother assisted her husband in the
support of the family by sewing for
the neighbors.
sJtmlpnt. and Yoiinur Lawver.
Almost from childhood Ira B. Jones
i
looked at life seriously. His schoolmates
remember that often in the afi
ternoon when they were at play he
would go in early to study for his
classes the next day, and they testify
-Ll? *?Qorlv r?rr?mi<!P
10 tne litei mat Lie va.? ij f ?of
becoming an upright man anc
useful citizen.
By careful study and by taking advantage
of such meager opportunities
as were offered, he obtained a fair
adiioatinn fir>bnnls wprp not theil
what they are now and that is probably
the reason why Judge Jones remembering
his own difficulties and
wishing to smooth the road for other
j poor boys, declared that as governor
"the improvement and development of
the common schools shall have my
keen interest and hearty support." j
It would be easy to tell and might j
be interesting to hear how young !
Jones having gotten an education mov_ j
ed to Lancaster county and began the I
nf law Rnw clients pame!
'slowly at first and how later having
J inspired the confidence of the people !
j in his home, town he acquired a large !
iand paying practice. What we are
|chiefly interested in, however, in his,
i political career.
As Legislator.
In 1S90 Ira B. Jones was elected to
; the legislature from Lancaster coun-1
i ty and it fs evident that he was wide!
ly known and that his ability had been
: recognized, for he was at once made {
1 chairman of the ways and means com- j
i mittee of the house and was later j
j elected its speaker. These were stir
i ring ti?nes, for the great reform move, j
j ment had just swept over South Caroi
lina and party spirit ran high. Sena!
tor Tillman, then governor, was insti-.
tuting many needed reforms, and
!Judge Jones as speaker of the house!
i did efficient service. Be it said to his :
!
credit, however, that although the i
i whole State was aroused by political
animosity, Judge Jones so conducted
himself as to receive the hearty ap'
#
j plause of friends and at the same time, j
| by liis fairness, he won the respect and i
' confidence of those who had been his
i
: political opponents.
As Judge.
It came, therefore, as a natural re:
ward for service that in 1896 he was
I elected associate justice of the high
est court in the State.
It may be mentioned in passing that I
j his present opponent in the race for
governor secured his nomination and
voted for him for associate justice.;
Having served twelve years as asso- j
ciate justice, in 1909, upon the retireiment
of Chief Justice Pope, Judgt1
i Jones was elevated to the position of
chief justice, which is the highest ju-j
ifKHni nnsition in the sift of the State.
j It may be truthfully said that no
\ ]
; judge in South Carolina in many years
.has enjoyed a'greater reputatioE both
for ability and honesty than Ira B.
Jones. The same industry and con[
scientious performance of duty which
j was noticeable in him as a young man,
!have characterized his work as a
j
judge.
He has been the recipient of honors
from his fellowmen and the emoluments
of office, but the satisfaction of
a hard day's work well done has ever
| been his best reward.
Among the charges hurled at Judge
Jones by his political opponent is that
jhe has leaned toward corporations.
: Suffice it to say that as attorney he
I never represented a corporation and
as a judge he repeatedly upheld large
I verdicts against the corporations. In
i the case of Rhodes against the Granby
1 cotton mills of Columbia, he upheld
j a verdict for $8,000 in favor of Rhodes
I on the ground that there was evidence
I that- hp had been unjustly discharged
j and blacklisted by the cotton mills,
j The verdicts which he sustained
I against the railroads would run up into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars,
there being one verdict against
the Southern Railway company for
$25,000 and many others for large
amount*.
| He has never leaned toward or
j against corporations, but his decisions
!'and rulings have been what those of
; every judge should be?just and fair
j to all.
Changes Unjust.
As citizen, lawyer, legislator, judge
ami rhief iustice. Ira B. Jones has
made good. He has lived an upright
moral life; is a conscientious member
of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
church, is temperate in his habits
and has measured up to all the requirements
of a true and useful man.

It should be remembered that this man |
who is now before the people in the
race for governor has never in his
life been charged with anything unbecoming
the highest and best citizen
until his opponent brought charge?3
[against him. The absurdity of these
charges can best be shown by the fact
| that Cole. L. Blease himself voted for
I Judge Jones for United States senator

Ira B. Jones is no political experiment,

counted on to give the people the same
honest, faithful and intelligent service
! which has always characterized his
work in their behalf.*
