GREENWOOD COUNTY HEARS CANDIDATES BIG RECEPTION FOR BOTH BLEASE A>D JONES. ?? Many Girls Hand Blease Flowers Jones Gets Some, Too?Disagree Over Hand Primary. Greenwood, Aug. 15.?There were j big receptions for both Governor Blease and Judge Jones at the campaign meeting here today?flowers galore for both, and a silver pitcher besides for Governor Blease. There was a somewhat persistent! endeavor to howl down Judge Jones,! but it- was effectually "sat upon" by Mayor Kenneth Baker, James Rogers, the chairman, and Robert Elledge, acting chief of police. Neither speaker brought out any-! thing new, and the vitriol of other j meetings was for the most part absent"! here. Governor Blease spoke only 30, minutes of his time, on account of the j condition of his throat and because of ; a shower of rain which came up at the time. Governor Blease did not fail to take his inevitable hand primary here, A colloquy on this point between Governor Blease and Judge Jones is inter- | t esting. "I'm satisfied with that primary," j said the judge vto the governor, as the j ? latter passed him, leaving the stand. "That's all right, if *you can be," said the governor, "when two-thirds of them are Blease men." "The Blease men are less than half," j rejoined the judge. When Judge Jones began his speech j he was given a big round of applause, j but the yells on the part of the Blease I ... j men giq not siop, auu n was sc?ciai minutes before he was able to speak. This so incensed Joel Woods, a Jones man, that he shouted out to the chairman : "If they don't let Jones speak, we won't let Blease speak. That's what they have come for?to howl Jones down. You have got enough police --J-- ?J ~-U 1 J ,1^ Here to Keep oruei", anu juu isuuuiu uu it" It was at this juncture that Mayor ] Baker said that it was a shame to civ- j ilization that a man should be accord-! ed such treatment in Greenwood, anu j commanded the arrest of any creators j of further disturbance or disorder. Judge Jones dwelt on that part of nrkvornnr rIpacp's rernrd which he de ? clared was conducive to lawlessness and disorder. He mentioned the Charleston and "sweat blood" threats, and : the promise of pardon in the case of j the Watson-King incident. He said that the governor's disregard for law j was further shown in his not respect- i ing the recommendation of a legisla- j tive delegation of this county "in the case of Magistrate W. H. Kerr, and in +V?o mm nf Ufa o-ictrfltps "Piirriv. aiCV lil VU-wv ? -v 7 j Rogers and Devlin, and N Township % Commissioners Hinton and Duffy. He declared that the governor had not x respected the recommendation of the j Greenwood county delegation in the j ' matter of appointment of rural Qolice- j - * men. He cited the fact that Dave Magill, j member of the legislature from Green-1 "wood county, and a friend of Governor j "Rlpasp. harl voted asainst separate rail- ! road coaches. "Yet is Governor Blease," said the judge, "telling it on his friend all over South Carolina that he is in favor of social equality of races for that reak son, as he is telling it to me." While the judge was speaking of the governor's promise of a pardon in the King-Watson incident, there were 6VUHJ CUCC1& 11VU1 mv jjivttjjt uivu. "What a miserable, pitiable condition has South Carolina fallen into," he exclaimed, "when even a few men can be found to applaud an incitement ? to murder !" At the close of his speech the judge I was presented with a huge basket of j flowers and a numtxer of bouquets were ! 4 brought to the stand by Miss'Addie Tatum and Mrs. Pierce Kinard. Governor Blease read two letters from Senator Tillman, not to him, but to other persons. In one the senator declared that he was sick and disgusted with the unfairness and dishonesty of certain newspaper headlines to his letter to J. L. Sims, of Orangeburg, making it bear a construction which i he declared it had not possessed. The other letter from Senator Tillman was to the effect that any man who said that he was lined up with John Gary Evans or anybody else to; A ' A rtnf t'nnw n-V- o r Via ! ucat uicaoc uiu uvi AUV " >> uat nac ? talking about ^ "Jones made a great deal of the fact: that Tillman said he was qualified for sroverncr," declared Governor Blease. ? "It's a good thing he can get some- : % body to recommend him. He can't do | it here at home. I don't need anybody j to say I'm qualified for governor. I've [ proved it in the last 19 months, and I; 1 expect to emphasize it in the next five months and then for two years more. Tillman has a race of his own, and I've found out in South Carolina that it pays a man to give all his attention to his own race. "And these great moralists," he said, "want to put on the State a man who voted to have divorce law in Soutft Carolina." . The governor's flowers and silver pitcher were brought to the platform by Misses Katie, Willie and Mary Song, Pearl and Blanche Connelly, Lillian Stahlnaker, Beatrice McClure and Olena Connelly. The speeches of other candidates were featureless, and there was no attempt here to make them declare for Jones or Blease, as was the case at Laurens yesterday, when Thomas H. Peeples, candidate for attorney gener 1 ?1 J + fAt? DIqoca onrl ai, ciecmreu uui*iigui iui uicucn,, unu J. R. Earle, candidate for the same office, declared himself favorable to certain Blease policies. LOSE MASKED BANDIT MAKES A GOOD HAUL Steals $3,000 From Southern Express Car?Puts tlie >ressenge? in a Chest. Asheville, X. C., Aug. 15.?A lone train robber, masked and armed, boarded Southern railway train No. ? * - * 1 ~ X 1 A OA 10; SpartanDurg 10 Asnevjne, at, xu.uv tonight as it was leaving Biltmore, three miles from this city, and covering the express messenger, E. F. Carr, of Marion, with a revolver, obtained a package containing $3,000 in bills. The robber then commanded Car^ to get in the express chest, which he had just rified, and locked him in it.' It is thought that the robber left the train as it slowed up for .the Asheville yards. When the train arrived at the Ashe ville station express employes found Carr locked in the chest. When released the express messenger was unable to give a description of his assailant, saying that the latter was completely masked. The train was an hour late at Biltmore, a fact which the local police department says the robber was aware of. The express messenger asserts he j had just finished arranging his packages, preparatory to leaving the train ! at Asheville, when he was confronted by a masked stranger with a loaded revolver, who demanded his money. Carr says the robber then bound hjs hands and forced him to get into the chest, which he locked.. The alarm was quickly given here and several policemen were sent to wards Biltrnore on a special train. Other members of the force boarded train Xo. 3o, which leaves Asheville at 10.50. It was thought that th? robber might have attempted to escape on this train. At midnight tonight the police and express officials were still without a clue. Carr up to July 21 was a clerk in T?\-rkrcLc:e at "\Torinn Lav ?JVU vUVl 11 WlliVV AfAU>A 4V44J X. C., when he was given the run from Columbia, 5. C-, to Asheville. ? ?? ?
