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.

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.

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

prisons or penitentiaries they might
