The happy couple left immediately for their future home at Fitzgerald, Ga. ? Jones vs. Bleastv Barnwell People. The great State-wide case of Ira B. j Jones, plaintiff, vs. Cole. L. Biease, deJ nnH fVlP ! ienaani, wm soun uc uuuuvu uuu ? , issue of who shall be governor of j "i South Carolina during the next term o$ j k two years be decided. In a few days fcnore it will have been argued in all i the forty and four counties of the I ^State and on the 27th inst. a verdict j Kill be reached. During the weeks j |^ha.t the trial has been in progress the j i newspapers have used barrels of ink ! j and the scribes have worn out cords! ?1 - C i.1_ ? of pencils. Tne arguments ot me tuu- I testants so far have related almost ex- J clusively to their past records and but little prominence given to policies,} principles and plans for the future betterment of the commonwealth and the ; weal of its people. As one of the jurors to pass upon the i fcmtention of the rival candidates we j ^cesire to suggest to the thousands of! South Carolina Democrats a thoi-gh: i that may assist them in keeping cool j and help them individually and collec-! tiveiv to arrive at a fair and just ver-? diet. The bitterness of the campaign; between Messrs. Blease and Jones has k been increased and emphasized by the Atact that they were once and for years j^riends, political co-partners, so to! speak, but no longer dors the Damon and Pythias relatipn obtain and con-! Unue between them. . A brief review! of their careers will make plain the j peculiarities and resemblances of their 1 I characters and reveal the cause of 11: onr] 9nart Lucir iamiig uui auu ^ Commencing his life labors as a helper in his father's livery stable young Blease probably received in those initial years of toil the bent of mind and disposition that has made it sefond nature in him to stick to his friends and to swat his enemies.! Probably the "little lord Fauntleroys"I of Xewberry did not become chummy j with the youthful worker and many a j physical encounter may have hardened his heart and fists and given him con... fidence in the strength ot nis arms ana the accuracy of his eye in aiming i blows of offence and defence. His life from those days has been one of con- ; *et^>t and continuing contests, in the " courts and in the political arena. He steadily advanced toward the ! goal that his dving father had often | i pelted out to his young ambition?' the governorship of South Carolina? , gaining self confidence with every vie- i tory won and with every backset re- | newing his resolution. In their freshman years of the poli- j tic-al course Mr. Blease was the friend j J - J -v? Vf*. T ^ ana am waie ui ivn. ouuco, uug him first for associate and afterward for chief justice. Ira B. Jones has had since he laid aside the rod of the schoolmaster, a palace car ride through life. Defeat has never delayed his upward rise or brought a care to his brain or heart. As speaker of the house of represen- j tatives, as a power in the constitu+''*"'>1 nnnxmnfinn Oc on fin thp I uuuai v/uiit^uuuiij ao an viuviv uu - I supreme court bench, where he was so long and bo respectfully addressed as his honor and his decisions were accepted as completely final, he, as was natural, accumulated a wealth of self appreciation beyond all ordinary human contemplation. When his ambition and sense of duty as he saw it came in conflict with those of the present governor the friendship that had pxisted peased and a chasm creat ed that oniy long time can bridge. That Governor Blease has as supreme confidence in his wisdom as j Judge Jones holds in his has been evi- j denced through his administration by ! his differences with other State officials, by the vetoes with which he has opposed legislative action and by the reversals of the findings of the circuit courts in the hundreds of cases in which convicts have been pardoned or | paroled and the faith he reposes in the | excellence of his supporters. While Governor Blease was fighting, his way to the front and up the scaling ladder against old traditions, neither asking nor giving quarter, Judge Jones was a student, an expounder, an apostle of the law, a disciple of precedent, a prophet of the coming of anarchy as the ultimatum of .the course and convictions cf Governor Please if unchecked. So the scholar felt called to lav nff tha ?r>wr? nf .Tndep and enter I the political ring for a fight to the fin- j i6h with his former friend. The conflict to date has had no pa-1 rallel in American political warfare, so far as our reading and remembrance recall. Governor Blease has demonstrated himself to be a politician of transcendent ability as an organizing strategist, an antagonist as adroit in making ieints as skiiiiui m presenting facts. He sees men with X-ray eyes j and is as quick as lightning to detect a weak or missing or unguarded link in the armor of an adversary's argument and as merciless as the irate Jove of the ancients in hurling a hot thunderbolt of words in defiance of assertion, or unfriendly suggestion He is an artist in the magnifying of little things and a master in the avoidance of per plexities. Few, if any, such figures have trod the American stage. What a resourceful partisan leader he would have made in colonial wars! He fights in sympathy with the world standard that all is fair in love and war and politics, that nothing succeeds like success and that the end justifies the mean6. There have been changes in cam paign methods and morals since Judge Jones was a candidate for the house of representatives. Whether this educative progress has been for the betterment of the party and the 'people is ! i a question on-which opinions will differ. We express none, but it Is an existing fact that has been to the disadvantage of Judge Jones. Knowing the tactics and twining of a score of years. ago he has entered the ring to combat with one who has been in constant training. The poise of the court room has not appealed to the spirit of the younger times. Like a pugilist long retired he has returned and that he has maintained himself as well as he has done is creditable to his courage. Like a commander in a new and unmapped region he has advanced ms attacks and made his defences on fields of his antagonist's choosing. His scouts have not always brought him the best information and his aides have sometimes lost their ways and have been hindrances instead of helps. It may be that he has reserved his j greatest strength for the last days of the campaign in the Piedmont counties which are the citadels where the ma joritv of the Democrats of the State hold the fort. The same purpose and plan may be in the quiver of Governor Blease, but until the final meeting is adjourned fair judgment of the powers of the rivals can not be entered. NO REASON FOR IT. Ton Are Shown a Way Out. There can be no reason why anyj reader of this who suffers the tortures j of an aching back, ihn annoyance of! urinary disorders, the pains and dan- j ?ers of kidney ills will fail to heed the word of a residerit of this locality who has found relief. The following is convincing proof. / Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, Prosperity, S. Car., says: "My kidneys were disordered for a long time, causing terrible pains through my loins and limbs.: There was also a constant ache in my j 1 ~ r* rv\ ATI C T Pfllllfl I UaCK ciJIU VH ovjiiic uvvuw.vu^ JL I scarcely get about. The kidney secre- j tions were unnatural and annoyed ine greatly. I consulted several physicians and tried a number of kidney remedies, but did not improve in the least. I had about given up the hope J of ever being cured when my son-inlaw procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills for me at W. E. Pelham & Son's drug store. He had read that j they were good for kidney trouble and | ? - ? 5!.
