"You are so inflicted with Blea ism that you don't favor free-speec retorted Judge Jones to a few v kept up such a noise that he sp( * with difficulty, and La said he kn most of the noisy ones were not fr Lexington, but that it was a "tr of the trade" to bring in people fr other counties and get them to "h rah for Blease." Judge Jones answered questions several in the crowd as to his v preme court acts and with nea every answer he quieted those v were interrupting him. He "v 0 ? heard attentively. * No party to Investigation. Judge Jones asserted that he \ no party to the investigation by 1 legislative committee, but he said 1 committee members are "as g< men as walk the soil of South Ca lina." He asserted that Stothart, \ Charleston constable, has been gui of receiving graft and that he sho be removed by Gov.

"That's an infamous lie," shoui the man. Gov. Blease was making the "soc equality" charge against Judge Jon and he referred to Jones as a "t man." "Didn't you vote for that t man?" asked Heber Dreher, who ter rose in front of the stage and clared himself a Jones man. t ' The governor did not answer \ question, but he replied: "If yoi r been as bad as Judge Jones, yo1 I ?. been in hell long ago." i Mr. Dreher repeated his questii but the governor still did not answ He was urged by his questioner answer, but he only retorted: "When a gentleman asks me fmoctinn T'll answpr it." and a lit I later on, being further urged, 1 governor retorted, "I won't pay a more attention to you than a hou ^ * puppy would to a yellow dog." The governor then said that 2 Dreher was trying to "show off." 3 Dreher stood up, pointed to Juc Jones, and declared he was friend. Two other men had tilts with 1 governor to the evident embarra ^ ment of Blease, and he hurled sorts of retorts at them.
