OCONEE COUNTY HEARS
THE STATE CANDIDATES
THFlvTI\G PASSED OFF QUIETLY,
WITH GOOD OtfDER.

the Candidates.
Walhalla, Aug. 20.?About 1,200 persons,
probably a thousand of them voters,
ga.thered in this little city, at the
foot of the Blue Ridge, today, and
heard the speeches of the candidates
seeking State offices. The meeting
passed ofT without a ripple of excitement'

featureless.
Occasionally there was some noise,
but of a good natured kind and never
was there any serious indication of a
desire to prevent each candidate hav*

County Chairman J. M. Moss was in
charge of the meeting and he performed
his duties well. The crowd
was, as a whole, not particularly demonstrative
and what applause there
was was pretty well distributed, near

Governor Blease nor alluding to him,

-the candidates today, Attorney General
Lyon receiving one, Judge Jones three,
and Governor Blease one. A brass
f
band enlivened the meeting with spirited
airs. Walhalla is the home of
Senator J. R. Earle, a candidate for
^ + 1
geiieieu.^
Mr. Barnard B. Evans, for attorney
general, was rather temperate in his
remarks today, although he brought in
most of his charges against Attorney
General Lyon. Mr. Evans boasted of
having "whipped" the firm of Mordecai
& Gadsden, of Charleston, in the Fed
eral supreme court, citing this as an
evidence of his legal ability. Mr. Evans
declared there should be in the of.
fice of the attorney general "a man of
the people; a statesman and not a
peanut politician."
Attorney General i^yon dismissed
Mr. E ans and his charges with a few i
words. He hoped the voters would
stick to Evens as they did two years
ago, when he (Evans) failed to carry
a single county. >Ir. Lyon declared
Senator Earle had been inconsistent
in voting against the resolution to

for the dispensary winding up com- j
mission, when an effort was being j
made to place the affairs of that insti- j
tution in the Federal courts and later :
voting to force the city of Augusta to
provide a fish way through the dam of
the Savannah river. Mr. Earle had
given as his reason for voting against
the dispensary resolution that he was
opposed to legislating a case through
the courts. Mr. Lyon contended that
Mr. Earle's support of the Savannah
Tiver fish way bill was as much legislating
a case through the courts as
would have been the passage of the

clared Mr. Earle's vote .defeated Mr.
Lyon referred to an article written by
Mr. Earle and recently published by
the News and Courier, in which Mr.
Earle stated his attitude toward the
dispensary resolution.
Senator J. R. Earie said He prooaDiy
would not have spoken in his home
town had not Mr. Lyon referred to him.
He defended his vote against the dispensary
resolution, saying it appeared
to him that the measure was intended
as an affront to Judge Pritchard, who
had decided against the State; also
that, in my opinion, the dispensary and
fish way matters were not parallel. Mr.
Earle did not use all of his time.
Mr. Thomas H. Peeples was not present
today.
Jones Discusses His Platform.
Judge Jones said that he spoke yes
terday and last night to Oconee folks
and had never been given more attentive
and respectful hearings and knew
the audience today would accord him
the same courteous treatment. He
said he wanted to talk about things
for the good of South Carolina. First
he explained why he resigned as chief
justice to run for governor. It was,
he stated, because he uesired to be
governor for the purpose of rendering
service to his State, which has already
honored him, and lending assistance at
what he regards a time of great crisis.
Judge Jones then outlined various
planks'in his platform. He reasserted
his position on the liquor question, favoring
local county option and permitting
each county to say how it shall
control the whiskey traffic. Liberal
pensions to Confederate veterans the
speaker also advocated. Judge Jones
stressed- the importance of good roads
to the industrial development of the
State and he said he would have as
many convicts as possible put to work
in improving the highways. He also
thought Federal aid could be secured
in connection with transporting the
jtfiails over the public roads.
Judge Jones again declared himself
a great friend to education, standing
for liberal appropriations to the
State's colleges. The adoption of the
Torrens system of land registration
ftp A nrofAm AP ATI
auu v;icatiuii ui a ojoicm v/i wnuu
warehouses he urges as of incalculable
benefit to the farmers. He would
also have the big insurance companies
invest a part of their reserves in the>
State, using persuasion, first, then if
that failed, force, through proper legislation.
The speaker explained in detail
the workings of an employer's lia
| uimy or wuiKina.ii s cuxiipeiiscniuii ian,
j which he advocates. He showed how
much it. would mean to the workingman
for such a statute to be enacted.
Judge Jones appealed for harmony
between capital and labor, declaring
that whoever would stir up strife between
the' two was an enemy to the
nannln XJT r\ t % tVi o f /%onif q 1 ' 1 o _

; bor be just to each other. Judge .1 ones
closed by pleading for law and ol der,
peace and sobriety 'so every South
Carolinian can lift up his head and be
proud that he was born in South Carolina."
Judge Jones received three pretty
bouquets inscribed as follows: "Best
wishes from some of the Walhalla
girls?to oiir next governor, Ira B.
Jones;" "I am for the church, the
school and Jones," this bouquet bearing
the cards of Mrs. L. D. Brennecke
and Mrs. A. P. Crisp; "Hon. Ira B.
Jones, from admiring friends," was 011
the third bunch of flowers.

speech, said he spoke yesterday at
! Westminster, Oconee county, and didn't
refer to Judge -Tones, but at the
same place last night, declared the

a voice in the crowd shouted to the!
governor: "He didn't call your name."i
"No; and I won't mention him at
Seneca tonight if he's not there," returned
the governor.
Thp 0T>v??rrmr fnrmpr Rpnr?an.
tative Zimmerman, of Oconee, whoj
could not be present today, asked him
'o deny a statement attributed
Judge Jones at Westminster yesterday,
that he (Zimmerman) had voted
against separate coaches'. After making
this statement in behalf of Mr.
Zimmerman, the governor told the
crowd Zimmerman was a "white man's
man" and did not believe in social
equality.
Judge Jones remarked that his state-1
ment referred to Mr. Zimmerman's
vote in 1S90, while the correstion rsad
by Governor Blease referred to 1891.
i This was proven by the house journal
produced by Judge Jones in making a
categorical reply when the governor
finished.
The governor denied he vetoed the
free antitoxin bill, but that his disapproval
of another measure was aimed
I to stop the extravagance of the Stats
ihmrri of health.
Defends Paraon.
The governor said he had heard rumors
criticising his pardon of Earl
Rochester, who killed Mills in this
county. He produced a letter from the
late Judge Charles G. Dantzler, petitions
signed by the jurors, county of
ncials and other prominent citizens of
Oconee county, some of whom he named,
and a letter from Congressman
Wyatt Aiken, all asking for executive
clemency for Rochester. "If you never
sign any petitions, there will be no
pardons," declared the governor, "but
as long as you ask me,' I'm going to
i rlon eor T or-*-* TrAiin
I uu a.^ jvu cttj , iui i aiii 0:1 vaiii,
not your boss."
Governor Blease declared that Mr.
Lewis W. Parker was helpirtg to finance
Judge Jones' campaign and
charged that the newspapers were also
in an alleged conspiracy to take control
of the affairs of the State. He

Union, Seneca, and Walhalla "begging
the boys to vote for Jones," and' if
Jones is not the corporation candidate,
"Why is Lewis Parker going around
asking the boys to vote for Jones? But
the boys ain't going to do it," said the
governor, which statement was echoed
by several in the audience.

j me governor saiu n<j uau a iciegi am
! from Dillon saying some Blease men
{were informed yesterday by a Jones
i secretary that they could not enroll as
the club roll was lost. He also said he
was informed that Jones men in Ocoi
I nee were putting their names on the
j rolls of two clubs. He urged his sup!
porters to \'ofe early on next Tuesday
| and stay around the polls to see that
; the tickets were not destroyed and
i
f
I that the ballots were properly counted.
Dirtiest Campaign, Says lilease.
| "You have heard of the dirty slush
from Augusta and from .John Disgrace,
of Charleston," said the governor, who
declared the Jones people are making
111C UH UCBl, Iiaoiicov., uiwiut tarnpaign
since Daniel H. Chamberlain."
"This campaign for governor is the
dirtiest ever seen in this tSate, there's
no doubt about that," said the governor,
"so dirty that Jones will have a
hard time in getting off the dirt and
filth put on by the investigating com
mittee and his friend Jonnny p. Disgrace."
The governor said he was elected by
no clique, and when he would not bow
down to the newspapers, they were determined
to beat him. "And that's the
reason why they're trying to buy j
votes." He gave as his reason-for ve-1
j^oing appropriations that he was elect|
ed on an "Economy platform."
fining hark^o the mill merger. Gov-I
! ? !
ernor Blease declared it merely a
j scheme to control the price of cotton
j to the detriment of the farmers. He J
i said the reason Mr. Parker is working
! for Jones is that he knows Jones will j
' help to make the merger stronger i
I while he (Blease) will break it up.'
The governor closed by again urging i
J his supporters to be "On the job" at I
! the noils next Tuesday and declaring
*
; "We have got the fight won." He pre,
j dieted that he would he nominated on
! the first ballot by a majority .of be- !
tween 18,000 and 20,000.
Jones Makes Reply.
| Judge Jones arose to make a cate- j
; gorical reply, but there seemed to be j
; a few in the crowd inclined to prevent |
j him doing so. However, the chairman \
urged fair play and Judge Jones proceeded.
He referred to the Zimmerman
matter related above, then declar-.
i ed that he had not referred to Gover!
nor Blease at Westminster as charged j
| by the latter. Judge Jones said he!
: denied any man from Westminster to :
: tell the truth and say he had mention- i
; <
; ed the governor in his speech there.;
(Judge Jones read a telegram from his j
son, Charles D. Jones, denying that the ;
latter had paid one Archie Vincent, of |
Heath Springs, $50 to work for Judge'
Jones until the primary. "I saw Vin- \
cent at Candler wearing a Blease button,."
the telegram concluded.
Judge Jones also read an affidavit
f:om Vincent, published several days
ago, that he /Vincent) is a Blease man
'and has never worked for Jones. In

Upon Question Which Seems to
Have Caused Confusion.
?
Some confusion seems to have aris-!
en as to voting for magistrates in the 1
county, and County Chairman Domi-!
nick was asked for a ruling in regard j
^ the matter.
~Countv Chairman Dominick rules j
I
that a resident of the county other-!
wise qualified may enrol his name upon
any club roll in the county, whenever
his residence may be in the county,
and vote at the precinct where his '
name in enrolled. In voting for*inag-,
S i
i istrate the voter must for a mag- i
istrate of the township in which the j
; A f Vi monoornrc?

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 No.
4 being enrolled in Township No. 1
and voting in Township No. 1. But
his residence being in Township No. 4,
he must vote for magistrate of Township
No. 4, and can not vote for mag
istrate of Township Xo. 1.

The Governor and the Vets.
Editor Observer: Through the columns
of your paper I wish to protest
against the tactics of the Blease
crowd in trying t^o coerce or threuitn
my brother veterans who are in the
"Home" at Columbia into voting for
Cole. L. Blease for governor, against
their wishes. Blease's course toward
.the wearers of the Gray, since he has
been governor, and his recent slap at
the Daughters of the Confederacy,
stamps him as the man of all others
in South Carolina who is least entitled
to the support of those who
fought so hard for the Southern cause
in 61-65.
Didn't Cole. L. Blease discharge
Riser, the dashing leader of '61 and
'76 from the registration board after
he had faithfully served two years?
And whom did he put in his place?
Why, a younger man of course, who
could best serve his political ends.
When a vacancy occurred in the
coroner's office, did the governor give
(
favorable consideration 10 the one- 1
I armed Lindsay, who was making his
support from his little garden and
chicken yard? Did he act favorably
| on the application of Singleton, who
j earns his meagre support selling small
j articles on the streets of Newberry?
I Did he think of the one-legged Bass,
who earns his living in his little harI
ness-shop on the back streets of New'

unseeing eye to all these brave old
Confederates and appointed a strong,
ablebodied man who owns a fine farm
on the outskirts of Xewberry, and who
is leading his (the governor's) cam
paign in Newberry county as a candidate
?or the house of representatives.
I say, Mr. Editor, that I protest
again6t such politics and hope my fellow
veterans will think over the matter
seriously before they allow themselves
to be bamboozled in this way.
