GIVEN A WARM RECEPTION BY CHEROKEE PEOPLE } ; PARDON OF CRIMINALS r * The Former Chief Justice Reviews 1 Administration of Governor lllease and Criticises His Wholesale I*ar3 don of Criminals and His Useless Conflicts With the Asscvmhly. Talking straight politics at two enthusiastic meetings in Gaffncy - Monday, Judge Ira B. Jones Monday at noon and Monday evening appeared in behalf of his candidacy for gov^ ernor of South Carolina. It was , udge Jouos' first appearance in Cher1 okeo county though in that county , originated the "Jones Clubs" idea that bids fair to be important be" fore the campaign is over. The former chief justice was given ' an enthusiastic reception. He was met at the train by a crowd of citij zens and encountered so many greetings that lie found it difficult to , reach the court house in time for the scheduled address at noon. The - day was made a gala occasion. Cit, izens had come from remote distances in the county and all the nearby towns were represented in tiie ' audience that filled the auditorium and balcony of the large court room , and blocked passages and aisles. In the audience were a large number of women, and three rows were filled with school children from the } high school, given two hours' holiday to hear the address. A respite from work was given employees of , the Gaffney Manufacturing Company to attend the event. Probably two . score negroes occupied seats in the balcony. The scene at the noon address was an enthusiastic one. When Capt. J. B. Bell, in introduc1 ing Judge Jones, referred to him as ! "tne most distinguished citizen of the State and the next governor of ^ South Carolina," he was interrupted i by cheers. The eminent jurist was forced to suspend to allow applause at inter vals every few moments during his speech. In explaining his motive for ; making the race for governor, .Judge Jones said there is a "burning desire in my breast to reclaim South Carolina from Bleaseism, but there is no spite." This caused the first ' big demonstration of the meeting. ? Me laughed at a report that he is the candidate of the aristocracy and ' newspapers, and told of his parentage and record. ] "I am in this fight to a finish. 1 am no quitter. Cod Almighty hates a quitter, and I do too," said Judge Jones. lie spoke only one hour, , but in that time reviewed many acts i of the present governor of the State. He told of the chief executive's fight with all the other departments of State government. lie said that, dense has to some extent nullified I he power of the courts by abuse of i the pardoning power, "lashed the I backs of the members of the gcn> oral assembly by misuse of the veto 1 power," and fought with the State officers. As an example of the misuse of the veto power he cited the veto of . T. V. Williams' bill for expenses as special judge to try an assault case in Richland as special judge, when the negro was convicted and execut: ed for assaulting a lady. The bill j was some $-10 and was passed over t lie veto of the governor. Gov. 1 Mease says the quicker a negro who 1 lays his hands on a white woman is put under the ground the better, and yet when a negro who did more than put his1 hands on a white woman was convicted by the courts and j , legally executed lie would not pay the judge because lie did not appoint 1 the judge. Gov. Measo had nothing to do with it. Gov. Ansel appointed , Judge Williams. ; As an example of the contlict with - the courts he told of the refusal of i the governor to appoint a special judge to hold term in ITorry when twenty prisoners were in jail, and the county lost probably $500 for jurors, witnesses, etc., when there was no judge to hold the court, lie! said the governor had violated his! oath in refusing to appoint special judges, as he was bound by law to sign those commissions, just as he is to commission judges elected by the legislature. Judge Jones discussed Governor j Mease's pardoning of criminals at ! some length. Ho did not think any governor was justified in turning criminals loose by the wholesale on honest people. He said when a person was convicted of crime it was! /-v lmnnof r?r?r?r?l? t n nnrdnn I IIUI I il 1 I l \/ uu J?vv/|?iv IV/ |/i. . | them as Hlense has and is doing. I Ho said the governor of tho State is trustee of pardons as a banker holds money in trust for tho bank's depositor. Neither had he any right to abuse their sacred trust as the gov- J ' ernor was doing when he pardoned white and black criminals out of [ the penitentiary. The former chief justice ridiculed . Blease's claim of economy by trying [ to cut offices here and there. A 1 i child may need three meals a day to ' % WOULD TAKE A HAND ? GOTHAM MILLIONAIRE WOULD JOIN LYNCHERS. In Letter to Mayor. C. Oliver Iselin Says He Would Aid in Punishing "Scandal-Mongers." A dispatch from Aiken to The State says C. Oliver Islein, millionaire of New York city and Aiken, Monday stated over his signature and in a letter addressed to Mayor Gyles of Aiken that he would take pleasure in participating in the lynching of person or persons responsible, for the talk that has been current in Aiken since Mrs. Frederick O. Beach of New York was murderously assaulted and her throat slashed by an unknown person two weeks ago to the effect that Mr. Beach himself made the attack and that he and his friends had conspired to hide his own guilt by charging an "unknown negro" with the crime. The occasion of Mr. Iselin's statement was to offer an additional reward in the name of city council for the apprehension of the guilty person, provided the evidence of conviction should show that the assault was made with criminal intent. In his letter Mr. Iselin states: "I sincerely trust these rewards and those which have been offered by others may secure the results we all hope for and will also help to run to earth the scandal-mongers, whose foul tongues have maliciously attacked the good name of one who, already hy the most undoubted testimony, has proved to he even above the slightest suspicion. "I consider myself a law-abiding citizen, but it would give mo much pleasure to participate in the lynching of the person or persons who are responsible for such slanderous accusations." Friends of t.Vlrs. Beach have been very active in denouncing the story that has been going the rounds and which was given fresh impetus when a society journal of New York reached Aiken Sunday, and it is stated that they could easily establish an alibi for Mr. Reach should he he arrested and charged with the crime. Mr. Reach has retained two of the leading lawyers of Aiken, but the detective he has had tor the past several days left the city Monday night after stating to the mayor that he had been unable to unearth the mystery. Mayor Gyles Monday took the investigation in hand personally, and stated that he intends to go to the bottom of the matter for the good of the town and, if possible, place the blame on the guilty man, no matter who he may he. The police state that it would be impossible to secure any part of the reward offered by Mr. Iselin because of the provisions stipulated in the offer. Ft)I'It 1)111 IN AVALAWIIE. A Snowstidc Ruries Dwellings at Tilt Cove, Notre Dame Ray. News reached St. John's N. P., Wednesday of a snow aval tnche which buried the dwellings of Manager Williams of the Tilt Cove Copper mine and W. Cunningham, the customs odicer at Tilt Cove, Notre Dame Ray, and killed four people. Tli.. viftinis were Mr. Williams, his son and two servants. Mrs. Williams and two daughters were severely injured. C inningham and his family were rescued uninjured. be healihy, while one can save Hour by cutting off two meals, but will lose the child, lie said such is Gov. I druse's course. Judge Jones criticised Blease roundly for his veto of tlrn bank examiner bill. Working people want the bank examiner so as tluir hard earned money put in the banks would be safeguarded and the banks want him, only Blease does nor want him, said Judge Jones. lie spoke at some length on the veto of the medical Inspection bill, and regretted that the legislature had not passed the bill over the veto, as poor children could get medical examination and advice free under it. The bill was intended to keep disease out of the schools and help weak children get strong and healthy by warning them of diseases of all kinds. Judge Jones said his motto is not "Stand by your friends," but "Stand by your trust and pray that no true friend would have you do other than stand by your trust." lie called for the voters to rally for the standard cf good government and civic righteousness and overthrow TUcaseism. He closed his address by reciting "Carolina," and at the sentence, "The despot's heel is on thy shore," the audience rose and cheered for minutes. Judge Jones said a report is circulated that lie can not carry his own county. "Why, you will have to get your arithmetic to get my majority in Lancaster," he said. Monday night an address was delivered to a large audience at tho Cherokee avenue school, in which Judge Jones pointed out the fallacy of tho governor's argument of economy. The visit mado many friends for Judge Jones in Cherokeo. V GOV. BLEASE SPEAKS THE GOVERNOR DEFENDS HIS NUMEROUS PARDONS eTAiun rv uiQ PRiciunc dlMHU U1 Hid I lllLlilld Will Appoint No Others to Office Willie lie is in the Office?Union, Which is One of the Governor's Strongholds, Welcomes Him Warmly?Talks to lied Men. Governor Blease addressed about one thousand people on Main street in front of the hotel at Union on last Saturday afternoon, after the session of the district convention of Red Men, which had been hold in tho opera house, and which he had attended. The Governor received a warm yelcome, as he has many supporters in that section of the State. During his speech different ones shouted out, "Go to it. You will bo ^ governor 25 years if you want to." "I'ardon more people. Fell us about it," and sentences of like nature. The speech lasted 4f> minutes and during it he talked on the subjects that he has been treating in his speeches for some time, lie devoted particular attention to his vetoes of many items of the appropriation bill, saying that he said, "No," when it came to spending $S,000 in putting in a heating plant in the negro college, declaring that he was against doing this for the "beautiful blackfaced doll babies," when many whitd teachers and pupils in this state had to do without such things and the taxpayers are paying for them. He said that he was against tho appointment of a state insurance inspector, a railroad inspector and a state geologist, lie asserted that he had been fought from every side, but that he had kept his temper and had kept cool. in his Introductory remarks he referred to the fact that he would have been a great governor had he taken some of the politicians and "Spanish incubators" and "mixed breeds" into his cabinet, hut that he had been elected by the people and not by the press and Intended to do his duty, irrespective of what the press said. In speaking of exorcising his pardoning power, the governor alluded to an Incident when Senator Tillman, then governor, was speaking. A little boy was near him and every now and then during the speech the child asked, "Didn't yoo pardon him?" At last Governor Tillman said to the boy, "Yes. and if he had not been .1 1 K.. I ni? b v 1 1 paruuiicu u.y jesiis limisi uu wuiiiu bo in licll." (Governor Rlease used this as a text with which to say that bis idea was to give men a chance to make good, for if he kept, them in prisons or penitentiaries they might die without having a desire to bettor themselves and would go to hell: whereas, if they are pardoned, they might become better citizens. "If you don't want a man pardoned, don't send petitions down there with your names to them. As it is, petitions come to my otlice with the names of the highest and lowest signed to them, all begging for executive clemency, for which I am afterward abused." lie cited an instance of how in Spartanburg a negro bad been convicted of something and sunt to the penitentiary and six nonths later it was found that he was innocent. Governor Rlease said that he thought the people should be compensated for six months' labor, lie criticized the legislators, savling that they had been unfair to ! him, particularly in passing bills over his veto. At this point some one called out, "How about Rob Hamilton?" "Hob Hamilton i> o. k.," replied the governor, "and if South Carolina had more men like him in the legislature there would he better laws passed and they would be moro strict ly on forced." Governor Rlease emphasized the I fact that he was in the race for rei< lection as governor: that he intend ! ed to stand by his friends; that none others need apply, for he would not appoint them to offices unless nominated in the primaries, lie spoke of democracy, and said that it meant honesty and straightforwardness in dealing with your fellow men. I lie declared that he saw improvements In lTnion, both material and j moral; that when he first came to i Union it was to trade horses. The ! streets at that time were terrible, but. row they were as good as any in the state. He emphasised the importance of getting registration tickets and attending party meetings. lie asked that a Legislature be elected to back him in bis administration. ?-? Tanner Drowns Himself.
