THE CHEROKEE VOTERS !
HEAR THE CANDIDATES
LIVELY AND INTERESTING MEETING
AT GAFFNEY.
Jones and Blease Both Refer to Till- j
man Letter?Crowd Was Generous
of Applause.
Gaffney, Aug. 8.?Not more than
1,000 Cherokee voters turned out today
to hear candidates for State offices,
but the meeting nevertheless
was lively and interesting, the Jones
- - i* - t?
Blease debate providing tae uns&csi
(exchanges.
Both Jones and Blease referred in
their addresses to the correspondence
printed in morning papers between J.
L. Sims, of Orangeburg, and B. R. Tillman,
United States senator, regarding!
the senator's attitude towards the i
Jones-Blease race. Judge Jones call- j
ed special attention to the senator's
assertion that Jones "would make a
good governor, because he is eminently
qualified," and said he would give 1
.$100 to the man who would procure
from the senator a statement over his
signature referring in the same terms ;
to Gov. Blease. f
Judge Jones also declared, in the
course of a fervent appeal for better j
conditions in the political life of the j
State, that the churches would fail to j
justify fully their existence if they did !
not do their part to "stem this awful ;
tide of lawlessness that is sweeping
over our commonwealth."
Nothing that was new and import- ,
ant wrs developed in the speeches of
'other candidates. The crowd was generous
of applause. Gov. Blease was
repeatedly cheered by his admirers!
and liixe Judge Jones was presented
with some handsome flowers.
The Pardon of Hasty.
Blesse. defending his pardon of
George Hasty, the Gaffney man who (
killed the actors,, Abbott Davison and
Milan Bennett, while they were guests ;
in his brother's hotel, said that J. W.;
Thurr ond, campaign manager for
Judge Jones, was tried for murder at
Edgef eld and Leroy Springs, to whom
Mr. Thurmond had referred men who
asked for Jones' campaign money was
tried for murder at Lancaster, acquittal
resulting in both cases in pow
- _ i
er and influence of the defendants. Mr.
Thurmond, he said, was a public oft
ficer. Mr. Springs a rich man worth
more than $1,000,000. Hasty, in his
opinion, would have been acquitted 1
also if he had enjoyed equal advan- j
tages. Petitions for the pardon of
Hasty were accompanied by a letter
from J. C. Otts, the solicitor, saying j
the other indictment against Hasty
would never be pressed and by a let- >
>
ter from T. B. Butler, now mayor of i
i
Gaffney, saying the writer hoped the
governor would see his way clear to
grant the pardon. There was also a
letter from Eld. H. DeCamp, editor of j
Gaffney Ledger, saying among other
things that the writer saw no good |
> reason why the pardon power should
t not be exercised in Hasty's behalf,
.-v Blease said that Mr. DeCamp had demanded
that he read the entire letter, j
v He did not have the letter with him, ;
Vvnf txtoiiIH canH it in "Yf r DiiPti mn iinH
MU 1/ II VU1U UV/UU iW V V V*
if he published it the effect -would be |
to "put him in a worse hole than he is
in now." The women in the case, hp !
said, were no better than they should ;
be. One of tftem, Vernie Sheridan, af- i
terward led ail improper life in Savannah,
he alleged, and on departing
took with her several violins, the prop- i
erty of other persons.
^ These she pawned in Xew York, j
^ sending the pawn tickets back to theowners.
Referring to an interview with T.
B. Butler, mayor of Gaffney, which f
was published in the morning papers
of May 15 and in which Mr. Butler inquired
why Mr. Blease did not resign
as trustee of the State college for ne-!
groes at Orangeburg before entering
W the State senate, Blease said he did i
L resign the trusteeship before becoming
a senator. "I understand," said 'the !
speaker, "that there is a scheme on i
* foot to count me out, I know it is a
fact that some people are endeavoring
to provide for it." He urged his;
friends to watch the polls on election
i
day, keeping an eye on the man who !
calls out the votes as well as on the
man who records them on the tally i
sheet.
Charges that Judge Jones was backed
by corporations and newspapers
were repeated by the speaker. He j
Bsaid he was informed that a meeting
was recently held in Gaffney in which
the request was made that all men ;
present who were not' Jones v men i
would retire. He was informed, he j
said, that recently Lewis W. Parker, j
l
of (Greenville. Dresident of the Harnp-I
' * I
ton Cotton Mills company, announced
the intention of having bosses in all
his mills make ta'ks to their operatives
shortly in tie interest of Jud^e
Jones. The sp'r l:er iig-tii: c-~Y.el ^..
Judge Jones to file an affidavit saying j
whether or not corporations were
financing the Jones campaign.
He read extracts from the speech
which Judge Jones made in nomina
tiny J. L. M. Irby for United States
%
senator interpreting these to mean
that Judge Jones credited Irby rathI
er than Hampton with stamping out
independentism. He again charged
that one purpose behind Judge Jones' i
candidacy was to "disfranchise the j
poor white man" by making registra-!
tion a condition of participation in,
tne uemocranc primaries. Jtie aeciai- j
ed again that Judge Jones' elevation to :
the supreme court bench was his re-;
ward for voting to retire Hampton,
Wallace, Butler and others who had
stood by the State in critical times.
"Go to the Tillman boys and to the ,
laboring men," he declared, "and they !
will tell you they are for Blease."
Speaking of the Tillman correspond
ence the speaker said, "I notice this j
morning that Senator Tillman has giv- j
en Jones some advice. I am mighty j
glad the senator took compassion on
him, because he needs somebody to
advise him. They thought they would
get Tillman to come out against me, j
but they didn't. He says he is taking j
_ At. . ~ ? ~"u:- ? J
no pare in uie guveruursmy race anu j
that the slush poured out against me ;
at Augusta is making me votes. That j
letter is poor consolation to Uncle Ira, :
but it is the best he could do for him."
Blease gave less attention than usu- j
al to his familiar charge that Judge !
Jones, in voting against the early sep- i
arate coach bill voted for social equal- j
ity between the races. He challenged j
Judge Jones to point out wh'erein the j
constitutions of 1868 and 1895 differed j
on the separate coach matter. Anoth- !
er familiar charge which he again
made was that Ben Abney megaphoned
to the supreme court through Chas. D.
Jones, of Lancaster, son of Judge
Jones. Blease said the newspapers
would probably say that throe or four i
certain men were present at this meeting.
"Yes they are here," h=> said, "and
I'll tell you why they are here. They
hsve received word, by letter and by
i
word of rpouth, that I would be assassinated
on this stand todav. I told
them I would make mv'speech and if I
was assassinated thers would be some
others going down the same road with
me."
The speaker svd w;th a smile that
he had wondered at the accounts the
newspapers had printed of the Lancaster
meeting, but he understood
them now, because he heard on the j
train this morning that after the Lan- j
caster meeting Charlie Jones sent up I
a bottle of "happy water" to the re- '
porters. I
At the conclusion of the governor's ;
speech the band struck up "Dixie," >
and a group of young women appeared j
on the platform bearing flowers. One

Judge Jones* Second Visit
Judge Jones speaking of the hearty
welcome given him referred to his address
in Gaffney last March, when he j
said he received a most pleasant re- ,
ception at the hands of as many!
Cherokee county citizens as could get
into the court house. He ridiculed the
assertion of the governor that his elevation
t6 the supreme court bench was
due to scarcity of good material in the
ranks of the reformers. He said he
was the only man suggested for the
new justiceship when it was created
by the constitutional convention of
which he was vice president and that
in the general assembly he received
the vote of every member, whether reformer
or conservative, including
Blease himself. Referring to attempts
to make it appear that he is the tool
of newspapers and corporations Judge
Jones said with considerable feeling
that such efforts to impugn his integrity
were worse than blackguardism.
He said it was wholly false that he
had "deserted his party," but that in
all the times of bitterness he had never
lost his conscience or his sense of
justice and hence even the conservatives
looked on him as a fair and upright.
man. The dav for the hitter
strife is gone, he said, unless such
men as Blease are put into authority
to stir up racial and class animosities
and breed dissension. "I want," he i
said, "the vote of patriots in South
Carolina."
Judge Jones read the Sims-Tillman
correspondence to the crowd and
clearly made a powerful impression.
He then made the otter above mentioned
to pay $100 to any man who
should produce a certificate from Senator
Tillman saying that Blease would J
I "make a good governor because lie j
is eminently qualified." "Do you think,"
'Judge Jones inquired, "that Blease;
really believes I stand for social equal- ;
ity." "No." replied a voice in the
crowd. "lie or Miybo^y else
a white i::." Js.-Ijje .-ours re4k
r
minded his audience that 011 the separate
coach legislation, R. C. Sarratt, j
of Cherokee, voted just as he did. Mr. j
Sarratt was formerly senator from this i
county and his family has long been
prominent in this section.

"Tell us about good government, i
that's what we want to hear," shouted
a bystander, and the request evoked
a round of applause. "We've got
it from Coley," yelled an adolescent
voice from the grandstand, the owner 1
of which persisted in his interruptions
of the speaker, saying among other
things, "Coley's the man, I can't vote
for him, but pa can." Finally he was
ejected by two special policemen.
Thirty of these special officers were 1
on duty" and, by the way, Mayor Butler
said he had purposely chosen most
of them from among Blease supporters.
Mayor Butler is a supporter of ;
Judge Jones. He said that the officers
who removed this young man were
both Blease men.
"What is good government," said
judge Jones. is it not equal rignts
to all and special privileges to none,
fair play nd a square deal to all? Is
it government for the friQn?is of the!
governor? No, my friends, that is the !
rule of the spoilsmen and not of the j
statesman. You do not have to take it j
from the newspapers. He convicts
himself out of his own mouth."
"Put it to Coley," some one shouted.
"So, friends, I am not putting it
to Coley," said Judge Jones. "I make
no personal attack on the governor.
T ha vp n nth in or trs s3it nf hie narsnnQl. !
ity. It is the ideal of the government j
for which he stands that I am attack- j
ing." Reciting the well known details j1
of the King-Watson incident at the i
governor's mansion and the declara-i'
tion of the governor in regard thereto
from the steps of the State house
Judge Jones said: "No governor ought
to give utterance to such thoughts. He
ought always to stand for enforcement
of the law and for good order."
The speaker recalled with dismay
the declaration of Blease that in cer- !
tain cases he would lead a lynching (
mob. He said that whatever the friends
of the injured party might say
or do, whatever people might enlist in
them, the governor of the State ought
not to incite to violence for there is
too much lawlessness now and the people
are already much too prone to viol-!
ence.
"Don't make me ynir governor,"
the speaker exclaimed, "if that is what '
you expeci 01 me."
Judge Jones referred to the Rhodes '
blacklist case as a refutation of the
charge that as. chief justice he had
favored corporations. He said that
during his 16 years on the bench he
acted on 3,299 cases and today Gov. |
Blease had found but two of them to
criticise. Xot one of these decisions, '
he said, was of a character to make!.
him ashamed of it.

<? THE COTTON RED SPIDER. j

<$> <S>
According to the letters received at |
this office the cotton red spider is doing
considerable damage in many parts
of the State. Owing to the number of j
calls for assistance in checking the |
ravages of this pest, it is impossible j
for/a man to be sent to each place.
The cotton red spider is a very small
_
insect, about tl:e size of a chicken mite,
and is seen only on close observation.
When plants are infested the damage
?s first seen at the base of the leaf.
The leaf turns reddish in color, a d
this gradually spreads over the entire
leaf, which soon fills off. On ex- j
amining closely the under side of the !
infested leaves, the red spider will be
found, sucking the sap out of the leaf. ;
A fine web is made on the under surf

spiders lay their eggs, and are sup-;
ported while feeding. As they have
no wings, the spiders must crawl from j
pjant to plant or be carried by some ;
animal, as the horse or mule while!
plowing.
As soon as the damage is noticed, if j
it is confined to a few plants, these;
nay be pulled carefully, and burnt.
Any plants that are pulled up. and |
then left on the edge of the field, will ;
not check the damage, as the spider ;
will soon crawl to fresh plants. Where I
the infestation covers too large an area !
to warrant the above procedure, the j
plants should be sprayed at once with
potassium sulphid, using three pounds
to 100 gallons of water. It is best
even where a small area is involved,
to use the above mentioned spray over
an area extending out at least 50 feet
from the original place of infestation.
In spraying, be sure that the under
sides of the leaves are covered, as j
most cf the insects ar-? found there. j

berry weeds. Violets are usually the
starting points, and these plants
should be examined frequently and
carefully, if the spiaer is round on
them, they should be sprayed as recommended
for the cotton. The Jamison
weed and the poke-berry weeds
should not be allowed to grow anywhere
near the cotton fields. As soon
as the cotton becomes infested, the
farmer should see that the above
plants are destroyed, not merely pulled
upland left lying on the ground,
but burned. If they are left lying on
the ground, the red spider will find its
way to the cotton.
Clean culture, by destroying weeds,
especially those mentioned above, and
deep fall plowing, will do much to
check or eradicate this pest.
The potassium sulphid for the spray
