The Charges Consist Mostly of irregu-1 larities and Excessive Totes in Several Counties. # Attorneys representing Ira B. Jones, candidate for governor, filed an official protest with the State executive committee of the Democratic party, charging illegal voting in the primary Tnesdav. The Drote-st was eerved on John Gary Evans, the chairman, and Cole. L. Blease and John T. Duncan, the opposing candidates for the nomination. The protest was filed by R. W. Shand, Frank G. Tompkins and W. H. Town6end, attorneys for Judge Jones. The irotest will be brought officially befit^the State executive committee at its meeting here tomorrow at noon.

The following is the protest: State of South Carolina, , To the State executive committee of the Democratic party of South Carolina, and to Messrs. Cole. L. Blease and John T. Duncan. 1,1 ~/N+i/->o T'Viof Tra "R. JfltlilSe lcurve uirtiW) uu. Jones, a candidate at the primary election, held on the 27th day of August, 1912, for the nomination for the office of governor, respectfully shows: i. That he is a resident of the State of South Carolina and a qualified voter of the said State, qualified to vote and hold office in the said State under the laws and constitution thereof, - ?nd the constitution and rules of the Democratic party or me saia suite. 2. That he, the said Ira B. Jones, was a candidate for the office of governor of the said State and complied with all rules and regulations of the Democratic party, as such candidate in the election which was held on the 27th day of August, 1912, and that the / said Cole. L. Blease and John T. Duncan were also candidate^ for the nomination in said election. 3. That the said Ira B. Jones is in formed and believes that in the said election held on the 27th day of August, 1912, many frauds w*re committed and illegal practices indulged* in, and the law violated so as to prevent a free and fair expression of the will of the voters in said election; and that the said returns tabulated by the managers of the said elections and certified by the county executive k committees in the counties of Aiken, Anderson, Greenville, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Union, Dorchester, Oconee, Laurens, Saluda, Pickens, York and Chester do not represent the expression of-the will of the Democratic voters who participated in the said election, and said Ira B. Jones contests the votes in each of said counties for Cole, votes cast and returned in each of said counties for Cole. L. Blease and John T. Duncan as candidates for the office of governor on the grounds: a. That many persons were allowed to vote in said election in the said counties, who were not of the age of 21 years, and would not be of that age at the time of sthe next general election. b. That many of the ballots counted and returned in said counties as having been cast for the office of governor were not deposited by jthe voters in the ballot l^oxes provided for votes for said offices, but were de posited in the boxes provided for candidates for county offices, and counted in declaring the result for the nomination of governor in violation of law thereby affording the voter the opportunity of voting in both boxes fo\ the same Oifice. * c. Thar many persons in said countipo hart their namw: nnon more than 1 one club roil and voted at more than one Democratic club 011 the same day for the same office in the same election. d. That many persons in said counties were attowed to vote and did vote in the said election, whose names were not placed upon the club rolls I for five days prior to the date of election; the names of some of such parties being placed upon the club rolls on the same day as the election. e. That many persons in said counties were allowed to vote more than once in said election in some cases, in the names of different parties. f. That the club rolls used by many of the boxes in said counties in hold- j ing the said election were not certi- j fled m thp managers by the president j and secretary of the respective club, and in many instances included names which bad been placed upon such rolls within five days prior to the date of the election. g. That many persons were allowed to vote in said election in said counties who were non-residents of this State, and many other persons were allowed to vote in saia election who were not residents of this State for the period of a year prior to the next general election. h. That many persons were allowed to vote in said election who were not citizens of this State. j. That the vote at many of the clubs in the said counties were not counted and certified to the chairman f)f the county executive committee within 48 hours after the close of the said election, and the results in some of the boxes were not certified to by the managers. k. That persons were allowed to vote in said election at some of the precincts in said counties without being required to make oath as to their qualifications to vote, and to support the nominee of th.e party. 1. That the poll was opened and votes received for governor in some of the clubs before the hour of 8 o'clock in the morning, and in some cases the polls were closed before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. m. That more votes were counted for the office of governor than there were voters participating in said election. n. That enough such fraudulent and illegal votes were cast in the election to affect the result. Wherefore, the said Ira B. Jones respectfully asks that the said executive committee will inquire into, investigate and ascertain whether or not the above stated facts are true, and that the votes from the boxes in the said counties where the said frauds and illegal practices occurred be cast out and not counted in the canvass of the votes cast for the nomination of governor at the said primary election held in this State on the 29th day of August, 1912, and that the said executive Democratic party take such further action in the premises as may be just and proper.

It seems that Mr. Quattlebaum rnd i his wife were on their way t) Jack-! sonville, Fla. The Southern railway was operating an excursion from Rock Hill to the Florida city. There were several coaches on a tract at the union station, which were to be attached to the excursion train when it arrive^ in Columbia. Mr. Quat.jcbaum is said to have placed his wife in one of these coaches and then stepped out a short distance away. As he was returning, *he excursion tra.n from Rock Hill rolled in: j the stanoi.. Mr. Quattlebaum evidently thought the moving train was the one which his wife was on and quickening his pace, caught hold of a moving coach. He gained a hand hold but did not succeed in getting foothold and after dragging along with the train, his hands slipped and he fell under the wheels. n f a: i -ii ? ii- - "* * * ? .vieuicai attention was immeaiaieiy given the injured man. His arm was amputated, and it is hoped that the injuries, while very serious, will not result seriously. A Card.
