This arti cle is written to let the people know about Judge Jones. Few people know that Judge Jones la a man of the people. He Is proud of the fact that In Newberry county, where he was born, there are still people living who remember that his father was a respected carpenter and hts mother assisted her husband In the aupport of the family by sewing for the neighbors. Almost from childhood Ira H. Jones looked at life seriously. His schoolmates remember that often in the afternoon when they were at play he would go in early to study for his Classes the next day, and they testify to the fact that he gave early promise of becoming an upright man and a uaeful fltlr.eu. By careful study and by taking ad vantage of such meager opportuni ties as were offered, he obtained a fair education. Schools were not then what they are now and that Is probably the reason why Judge Jon- s Stsaemberlng his own dltl'culties and wishing to smooth the road for ot*.- poor boys declar'd that as gov ernor **The Improvement nnd de velopment of the Common S'bools Shull hove my keen interest and hear ty support.” It would be easy to tell and might be Interesting to learn how young Jones having gotten an education moved to Ijincast<T county and he gan the practice of law How client* earn* slowly at flrat and how la'nr having Inspired the conhdenre of the pbopje Jp bis holhe town he acquired u large aird.paying prarMce What we *re chiefly Interested In. howr\«y, Is his political career la UNO Ira TV Jonet *a* eleevd te the Lefltslstnre fro^gOnrae'er Ik I* evld«<e^BKt he wna ard ahtllfv gnlied. tnr he wii« at chairman of v end Mesas Committee of tiJeHouae and was later elected Its #neak< r Those were stirring times, for the greet reform government bad lual swept over South Carolina tnd par ty spirit res high Senator Tillman, thee Governor, was InaMtuMng many Beaded reforms and Judy Jones ns Speaker of tho lloase. did ••fflr'.mt service Be It aald to hla cr-d t.

Sufflco It to say that as attor ney he never represented a corpora tion and aa a Judge he repeatedly up held large verdicts against th-- cor porations. In the case of Khodcs vs. the Granby Cotton Mills of Columbia, be upheld a verdict of fs.nno in fav or of Rhodes on the ground that there was ntldshre that tio' had been unjustly discharged aruj blacklisted by the cotton mills. The verdicts which he sustained against the rail roads would run up into the hun- dreds of thousands of dollars, there being one verdict against the South ern Railway Company for $25,000 and many others for large amounts. He has never leaned either toward or against corporations, but his de cisions and rulings have been what those of every Judge should be—Just and fair to all. . Aa Citizen, Lawyer, Legislator. Judge and Chief Justify, Ira B. Jones has “made good”. He has lived an taprlght moral life: Is a conscientious -member of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, is temperate in his habits, and has measured up to the requirements of a true and seftfl man. It should be remember ed that this man who is now before th* people In the race for Governor has never in his life been charged With anything unbecoming the high- S*t »»d best citizen until his oppon- ■ f Sgt brought charges against him. i^Tk# absurdity of these charges eun be-shown by the fact that Cole himself voted for Judge tor United States Senator in with such men as Fi*nk B.

OLD VETS HOME ROW ♦ OLD SOLDIERS CLAIM THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR THE MAM OF THEIR CHOICE A dispatch from Mexico City says thirty-six soldiers and more than One of the Old Veterans Charges That twenty passengers were slaughtered hy Zapatastas Monday afternoon In a canyon, one kilometer north of Tlcu- n.an, 110 miles southwest of Mexico City, when a passenger train, south bound from Mexico City, was attack ed from ambush. Meager details, which did not reach the city until Tuesday after noon, Indicate that tho savagery dis played was not less, and perhaps greater, than that which character ized the massacre of troops and pas sengers on a train between Cuernav aca and Mexico City on July 20. So far as knon^n Tuesday night only a part of the train crew escaped. Tho first story of the assault was sent to Mexico City by Conductor Marin and Collector Dominguez, who although wounded, had managed to make their way to Vautepec, twelve miles away. They were forced to steal through the Zapatista lines and did not arrive at tho telegraph sta tion until Tuesday afternoon. After the firing ceased tho rebels swarnjed down the hillside and set tne to tin- three cars composing the train. A fevsf of the wounded had crawled out onto tho right-of-way, thus escaping tho fate of those un able to leave the cars. They were hurried, according to reports receiv ed. The- leader of the rebe ls made ab- selutcly no effort to restrain his men from acts of t-rutalitv greater than l.anv that has >et marked the cam- l-aign in tin- Eolith.

Old soldiers quartered there and the officials of tho Confederate Home aro busy writing to the papers ex plaining the proa and cons of the re cent difficulty resulting fn the whole State being aroused over tho situa tion; fierce resentment being express ed at what Is sail to have been a “hint” to one of the old soldiork that, unless he voted for Mease, lie would bo discharged; the suspension of a Veteran from Lancaster County, the home of Judge Jones, for thirty days, and the charge by Mr. John J. McMa han that the chairman of the board, Major Richardson, in allowing him self salary is violating the law. Tile controversy begun over the publication of a statement ,eoniing from an old soldier to the effect that an employee of the Home, Kdward Jones, a supporter of Judge Ira li.
