M •> * :r %' un IBlNUmtE JHl E»V* JUDGE JONES ‘-J.! BMUurluible Statement lamed to Oa Eve of the Election the Advlaee Everyone to Vote ndge Jonee—I>ec lares Good of the State at Stake. lafton, Auguat 23.—Senator to^nlght Issued the following •nt ooncernlng the Ferguson . which has been much discussed nth Carolina during the last few fy 1 . have said repeatedly that I was off In the race for Governor In and have tried falth- to remain neutral to the end, circumstances and conditions compelled me to change my pur- pooa. - After the 81ms latter was pub lished 1 was deluged with telegrams and letters, both of protest and Im portunity from my old friends, or mgfc Who claimed to be sush. Some of than touched me deeply because of thalr pathos. Most of them de manded that 1 should aay as much for Bleats as I had said for Jones. Others threatened me with retirement on ac- oognt of Interference In' the Qover- nor’s trace. About ten days ago I wrote to one of the latter In Ander- aoa county, and asked him specially sot to let anyone aee It. "Three or four days ago I received a eopy of the letter from flovernor Bloaae, with the Inquiry whether I had written it or not. On the 19th I received a letter from Harrison Fefguaon, of Spartanburg, asking whether I thought Blease was not al so eminently qualified for Governor, fle Which I answered In the affirma tive^ with some restrictions and ex- plaBatlona, and marked It also pri vate and confidential. And again tha cod# that obtains among gentle- 3 was violated by Mr Ferguson, that part of the letter shown, whleh said Governor Blease was 'em- tneetly qaallfled." If Mr. Ferguson has shows all of the letter, he has on ly toM it to such friends as he could tnfit, those of the eame type with himself. I am thue made to endorse Blease as “eminently qualified.’' whB« explanations and restrictions ara kept from the public. T oafortahle ns Fence fttmririler. am anwllllag In this crisis of the dtats’s history to become a snp- pordar of Oovernor Blease for re-elsc- tloa. or to appear to do so. I know ma«y of my warmest friends are etawhgeet hellers re In Blease and have kaefWa file from tha beginning. A leasaember of the THImanltes of old. hat as good friends as any of them, are aepportlng Judge Jonee I do BOtavaat to appear, and T am unrom- fcrlaila. la the role ae a fence-etrad- dler; therefore. I have decided to gtvw the letter tn qneetlon publlrltv ee that all tie people may understand saamiT what my Ideas and feelings "I have so doubt Oovernor Blease has read the whole letter, and such of hie Heeteaanta as hs chose to give It te are elreedy la possession of It. He la acquainted with my attitude, and will naturally—end 1 would do the same, and I do aot blame him at all aas It to my disadvantage "Without considering whether there will b* any countervailing ad- veatage ta m* In gnaklag the letter paWle. ! will at least have the eatle- faettea of knowing that I am no long ar aenaldered too cowardly to come eet ta the open and make knoen mv optalon. In this grav* crisis In the •tala’s history I ran better afford to petlTa to prlva* life. If necessary, than to ha considered, even by Indlreclon. as eadorslng Oovernor Bleats 1 will at laeat maintain my own self-respect aai as my confidence has been be trapad, I will give the whole letter ta tho public. “Aa the battle has progressed. 1 have been more and more convinced of the after unfitness of Blease to be Governor, and rather than feel, as 1 would b« compelled to do. that I was la part responsible for It.If I remain ed rtlent, I write this statement and wUl take the consequences. “Tie Stats has been disgraced In th« dye of ths whole world, and Its good asms made a byword and a hUs- iag. Nobody can cleanse It and r^- deem It except Its own people. Implore tho people to take care ot tho Btato’s good name next Tues day." Tho lotter to Ferguson Is as fol low*: Loiter to Fergnson.

For instance; why did he not cut Ben Stothart’s head off when •tottart refused to swear under oath, that he had not been bribed, under tha pretext that he would Incriminate hlamalf?" Why haa It been his habit towfw most of those who wanted to rdona to some friend like Sam Is? Why did he not do the par- bnslness himself on his own lent, rather than turn It over to lawyer to charge a fee, unless getting some of the money? Why la It that he is so Intimate with Bea Abney, tbe leading counel for theJSonthern Hallway as to take him his own house, when he knows .bney Is the greatest lobbyist we ever had in South Carolina, a nlator of Legislatures and ratl- oommissfoners.

The execution of Chang Chen Wu by the Chinese Government offi cials compared by the Pekin corres pondent for the Dally Telegram to Uapoleans shooting of D’Enghlen at owed it. It is the turning point, the writer asserts, in the life of the Chin ese Republic. The correspondent con tlnues: ‘'President Yuan Shi Kal, alarmed at the outcry, te publishing Vice Pres ident LI Yuen Hung's telegrams in order to fasten the blame on that of ficial and fearing assassination, sur rounds himself with troops. According to the Chinese news papers the execution was carried out m a fendish manner. The banner man, Gen Yyan Chi Kuel, who was entrusted with the execution ac tually dined with his victim In a Eu ropean hotel and toasted him repeat edly. When the dinner was over he folowed his victim In another car riage to his lodging. On alighting from the vehicle Gen. Yuan Chi Knol blew a whistle as a signal, whereupon a forest of sabres and bayonets sprung up like magic about Shang Chen Wu. who Was seiz ed and Ixnind, flung Into a mule cart and carried to the military court. No evidence was given at the trial and the accused officer was condemned to Immediate execution. The first volley net killing the pris oner repeated volleys'were fired until the general’s body was completely dlsemblowedel. It being necessary to diess the corpse, fi massage was sent to the victim's wife for more clothes as her husband "felt cold In tho night air’’. Dr. Sun Yat Sen, former Provis ional President of China, disregard ing the warning of friends, who fear for his safety sine© the execution of several Hankow generals, left Shang hai for Peking. Gen Huang Sing, who commandfCl the southern republican army in tho revolution, which overthrew the Im perial Government and was to have accompanied Dr. Sun, has abandoned the journey. The southern generals recently put to death were members of Dr. Fun Yat Sen s party, the Tung Men Mul. and were seized at the capital by direction of President Yuan Shi Kal They Were charged with being Impli cated In an alleged conspiracy against the Pekin Government Two of the officers wore frle<! by a drumhead Court-martial at the capi tal and shot.

Story of a Rleft.w© Veto With ft Wide Application. A story Is being told In roltimbla and also throughout the Piedmont section where the big cotton mills are located, of a doctor who called to see the child of a mill operative that tvas Blck. The doctor said to the father that hla child must have some anti toxin. and the father replied that ho wasn’t able to buy any. Then the doctor told him to go over to tho Btore and get Rome, which was pro vided by the State. This was done and then the doctor told the man that Governor Blease had vetoed the appropriation of $4,000 which was in tended to buy anti-toxin for poor peo ple’s children, as it is costly, and of how the Legislature passed it over tho veto. It Is said that when the man learned this he promptly an nounced that he would be a Jones man, and is said to be now actively at work in behalf of the Judge. This Illustration is given to show that Jones enthusiasm Is striking the mill people and many of themi will line up for Judge Jones on election day. i South to See Warships.

I received them and checked the hills. Once there were two boxes of shirts, and I opened them and looked at them, and I said to Col. Miron. “Frank, there 'a a mistake about those shirts. You didn’t buy dollar and a half shirts for old soldiers, surely.” He said. "Keep quiet about that; that Is Hal's work. Hal made me a present of one box. and the oth er box he is going to send to his hoy nt. Allendale.” -.There were a half- dozen shirts to the box. and they were a dollar and a half anlece, $9 a box. There was a whiskey case there, bought by Col. Mixon for the home, to sit on a table and open like a writing desk. After Mixon’s death, Richardson said he wanted something to remember Frank by and he took it home In his buggy. There are sev eral other plckayunlsh things I could mention. 8. Col.
