JEERS _FOR_ JONES
SOME MILL WORKERS ACTED
BOLDLY AT A MEETING.
?
* JONES STOPS SPEAKING.
It Was Only a Small Crowd That
Participated in tho ltowdyism?
The Judge Was Greeted With Applause
When lie Stepped From the
^ Stand.
A syecial dispatch frm SpartanTjurg
says shouting for Mease, in
viuaoiug inu u|/i i/ai ? nun 1 uiiiuiiou at"
ed with and greeting with taunts and
Jeers an appeal for fair rp lay, friends
of tiov. itlease howled down Judge
* Ira 13. Jones when ho addressed an
open air meeting of cotton mill workers
in Spartanburg Saturday night
and caused him abruptly to terminate
his speech.
The disorderly persons were greatly
in the minority, but their effort
was concerted. It had been rumored
during the day that an attempt
would bo made to break up the meeting,
which concluded a two woeks'
tour of the county by the candidate
for governor, and was the only oc**
casion when he spoke in the city.
When Judgo Jones, raising his
voice to make it heard above the din,
expressed his gratitude to those who
were giving him respectful attention
and said it was not the noisy persons
but the great mass of silent voters
who controlled the affairs of the
State, and that they would elect him
governor, he was aplauded with
clapping of hands. Amid this applause
ho stepped dowa.
Many pressed forward to shako
hands with him and express their indignation
at the unfair treatment
which ho had received. Judge Jones
made liis way to the outskirts of the
crowd, where the disturbers were
loitering, and surprised them by
shaking hands with them. lie asked
for the ringleader and told him he
* would like to have him cheering for
Jones instead of Dlcase. The man
said: "I'm for Colo Jj. Blease."
"That's all right," said Judge Jones.
"You vote for him if you think he is
J the best man." The man told Judgo
" Jones he was a good fellow. 4
Such of Judgo Jones' speech as he
was able to deliver was a dignified
discourse on the rights of working
jjion and especially their right to
compensation for injuries received in
the performance of their duty. Ho
said that if he should have a sympathetic
legislature he would put on
the statute books, as governor, an
employers' liability law, under which
it would not be necessary for a working
man who lost a limb or was otherwise
disabled in his work to sue
his employer for damages. By the
provisions of the law which ho proposes
the employer would have to
compensate tho workingman without
^ a lawsuit.
An old man in tho audience asked
Judge Jones how it would be possible
to determine how much the injured
man was entitled to without a lawsuit.
The speaker answered that in
other States the loss of a finger was
valued at a certain amount, the loss
of an arm at another amount and
other Injuries similarly were pro'
vided for.
The old man then asked if the proposed
law would be constitutional.
Judge Jones replied that It had been
declared constitutional by tho supremo
court of Massachusetts and
^ that tho United States supreme court
had passed favorably on a similar
law relating to tho employment of
men In interstate commeroo.
Judge Jones said the present laws
governing workingmen's claims
against their employers for injuries
received in their work were unfair,
putting tho poss on tho family of the
injured man instead of on tho industry,
where it belonged.
Capital and labor were both indispensable,
said tho spoaker, and ought
^ to work together in harmony. Labor,
ho said, is entitled to a fair remuneration,
and capital to a fair dividend.
Judge Jones said ho had
sprung from working people.
M Thore had been occasional feeble
cries of "Hurrah for Blease!" up to
this point, and as Judge Jones began
to allude to his candidacy they
became louder.
Judge Jones took notice of the
noise by saying: "This groat governor
of your that you are shouting for
was willing to tax the people of
South Carolina $000,000 to put two
wings on tho State house."
"What is a little thing like $900,000
to tho State of South Carolina?"
retorted a man In tho crowd.
Tho shouting now became continuous.
Judge Jones managed, however,
to tell a story o fa farmer who
received a circular from a Northern
t restaurant, expressing a wish to pur^
chase frogs. The farmer wrote that
t be would supply tho restaurant with
! 100.000 frogs.
He shipped only six and when tho
restaurant people wanted to know
why the rest were not forthcoming
ho answered that he had supposed
from the noise there were 100,000
in the swamp but had been able to
1 find only six. Judge Jones said the
I -disturbers were like the frogs;

MURDER MOST BRUTAL
NEGRO SECRET SOCIETV CHARGEI)
WITH THE CRIME.
Xegro Appointed to Kill W. R. Hryson
Furnished With Money and
Mado Good His Escape.
A dispatch from Cross Hill says
according to reports received there
the white residents of Mountvillo and
vicinity have learned of the existence
of a negro secret society in their
midst and to this society attribute
tho murder of William Rhett Bryson,
the prominent young farmer murdered
oil his plantation at Cross Hill
recently.
It is said that confessions have
been secured from some of the ncgro
members of this lodge and the
murder of Mr. Bryson seems to have
been a prearranged affair, tho negro
nnnointed for the job having been
provided with money with which to
mako good his escape which it seems
at this time ho has succeeded in doing.
Further reports state that a committee
of white men composed of
prominent farmers and business men
of Mountville and surrounding towns
fired with indignation at the foul
murder of Mr. Dryson have waited
upon a number of the negroes supposed
to h.avo knowledge of the affair
and some severe whippings have been
administered. In one or two instances
it is doubtful if the victims
of the beatings can recover so severely
were they whipped.
Sinco the discovery of tho existence
of this lodge the white people
of tho vicinity have been almost
afraid to venture forth alone after
nightfall but are determined to stamp
out the last vestige of tho negro organization.
The many fires which
have occurred in and around Mountville
recently and which were known
lo have been of incendiary origin are
now attributed to this secret society.

AUTO KILLS A LITTLE GIRL.
She Was Run Over and Crushed by
a Negro Chauffeur.
At. Anderson little Lilly Mao
Wright, the eight-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Wright, was
run down and' killed by an automobile
drive'n by Henry Williams,
colored, at 7 o'clock Friday evening.
The child was In tho act of stepping
into Mrs. Jno. Tate's automobile, 011
West Wliltner street, when tho car
driven by the negro struck her.
She was picked up from under the
rear wheels and carried to a drug
store, where medical attention was
quickly had. An hour later she was
taken to her home, 011 Market street,
and died at 8:30 o'clock. Besides being
fearfully gashed 011 her head, the
child suffered a broken shoulder and
her lungs were crushed.
Williams was arrested and is in
the city guard house. lie claims that
the child ran from behind Mrs. Tate's
machine and that ho did not see her
until she was struck. He claims also
that he sounded an alarm as ho approached
the automobile, but this is
denied by other persons who witnessed
the tragedy.
The little girl was an unusually
bright and lovable child and the terrible
accident has cast a gloom over
Anderson. Mr. Wright is chief electrician
for the Anderson Cotton Mills.
The machine driven by Williams is
owned by Jno. E. Peoples and was occupied
by 'Mrs. Peoples.

CAUGHT BENEATH WAUL.
David Williams Killed While Cleaning
Brick at Hotel.
At Greenwood David Williams, an
old negro man, was killed Friday by
being caught beneath a brick wall,
which fell, while the old man was
clearing brick nearby. A number of
negroes have been engaged In clearing
brick from the site, and this old
man was doing this kind of work.
The wall, which crushed him, fell
without warning Friday morning,
catching him and almost striking a
nephew of liis, who was working
nearby. All the other negroes doing
the same work managed to get out
of the way.
though they made a great noiso they
were few in number.
Still the disturbance continued.
The candidate now sai dhe asked
only for a square deal. Tf his hearers
differed from him, he said, at
least give him the right to a hearing.
Ho said lie would not treat them in
such a way as governor hut would
give them a respectful hearing, which
was nothing more than a square deal.
He had been speaking nil through
the county during the last two weeks
and this was the first time ho had
been treated with discourtesy, ho
said.
It was only pouring water on the
wheel, lie said, for ho would carry
Spartanburg and the State. Still waters
ran doen. and It was the deep
i waters which floatew tho ship.
Turning to tho earnest men stand:
ing near him and staining to listen,
Judgo Jones said it was tho bravo
quiet men like they whose voices
guided the affairs of South Carolina,
i Judge Jones will spend next week
in Greenville county.

CAPTURE ONE MORE
YOUNGEST OF THE OUTLAWS NOW
IN HANDS OF LAW
*
WAS JUST STARVED OUT
Friel Allen Tells of Suffering While
(
Finding Posse, and Says lie Deft
(
His Uncle mid Cousin in the Moun- .
tains Determined to Die ltnthcr 1
i
Than Give Up.
Friel Allen, a blue-eyed stripling (
of 17, youngest of tho eight of the ,
Allen gang, each indicted for the five j
murders in tho Carroll County Court (
House a fortnight ago at Hillsville, (
Va., was taken late Friday in a car- (
riago shed at the home of his father, (
Jack Allen, eight miles from Hillsville
jail, with his cousin, Claude j
Swanson Allen, who surrendered
without resistance to tho detectives .
Thursday.
Only Sidna Allen, a man of middle (
age, and liis young nephew, Wesley ,
lOdwards, both bold mountaineers of j
reckless daring, are fugitives now. j
They are the last of the outlaw band,
whose fusillade killed a Judge, sheriff,
prosecutor, juror and bystander <,
on March 14. Frlel Allen two days j
ago deserted the two men still at j
large and brought back their ulti- (
matura of defiance. Iloth are pre- pared
to resist until death.
A father's anxiety to have his (
youngest son spared a terrible death
in the mountains is assumed to bo ]
the cause of Friel Allen's capture. ,
Jack Allen was not involved in the ,
Court House shooting, but it is ]
known that since his son, Friel, join- j
ed the outlaws, he has been endeavor- |
ing to advise him to submit to the
mercy of the law. Just bow the (
parent communicated with the boy j
has not been learned. ,
Hillsville had hardly digested the ,
excitement incident to Claude Allen's ^
bloodless capture, when Friel Allen f
galloped into town, the prisoner of (
Detective Thos. U. Felts, leader of
iho mountain campaign against the .
outlaws, and Detective C. Payne, j
who together made the arrest. The (
young mountaineer, of slender build j.
and boyish face, was unliandcuffed
.'ind cantered into town with smiles
and nods to those who recognized j
him. He showed, however, the ill c
effects of two weeks with little food
or shelter.
The young prisoner talked glibly
of his conversation with Sidna Allen
and Wesley Edwards. The former,
he said, admitted killing Judge 1
Thornton L. iMassie, wliilo the latter
acknowledged shooting Commonwealth
Attorney Wm. M. Foster. His
own part in the tragedy he discreetly t
evaded discussing. He brought, how- ]
ever, first hand information of the {
desperate straits of Sidna Allen, lead- t
tr of the band, and his consciousness |
of guilt. In the dialect of the moun- (
tains he told his story, heeding inter- j
ruptions and answering all queries. (
"Uncle Sidna told me," related the .
hoy with unrestrained frankness, ]
"that he never expected to see his
family again. IIo hopes the detec- (
tives will get discouraged so that he
can get away, but. if they keep after .
him I think he will bo shot killing (
them. Ife will never surrender. Ho .
did not like it when I left him. He ]
told me I was making a mistake, but
I was tired and hungry.
"Uncle Sidna said lie shot his pis- <
tol empty three times. He always ,
was angry with Judge Massie. He (
said he shot Judge Massio and that
Wesley shot Mr. Foster. Uncle Sidna ,
said he intended to get as many of
tho Court officers as he could. When
he was shooting tho people in tho '
street he really did not know ho was
firing at any of the jury. lie said he
saw men running and thought they
needed shooting at. !
"The day after tho shooting Uncle
Sidna and Cousin Wesley and I went '
to the mountains. Wesley had two 1
pistols and Uncle Sidna had a revol- 1
ver and a shotgun. Wo all had plen- I
ty of shells. We got plenty of rations 1
for a while. Wo wore hidden under
a lodgo by leaves. From there we
moved to another rock and saw tho
ollicers rail my aunt Albert's house. 1
Some of the detectives came within 1
fifteen or twenty yards of us. f
wanted to leave, but Undo Sidna
said if the detectives came closor he 1
I would fire. |(
"Uncle Sidna was shot. In tlio arm
at the Court IIouso and the same
bullet went into his side and baok.
It is still there. JI is hurts were fixed
by one of the family. No doctor saw
him, so far as I know. At daylight
Monday, Uncle Sidna got sonio food
in a sack. Wo hod plenty of crackers
and butter and sugar and stayed
in tlio ivy and laurel bushes for ten
days, but with nothing else to eat ex- <
cept those crackers. The day before
yesterday I decided to leave and wo
separated. I was just starved out. I loft
them on the mountain top, about
three miles from Piper's Gap road.
"Near where wo were in the laurel
there was a log we had planned to
use as a breastwork in case of attack."
Friel disclaimed knowledge
of the part Claudo Allen took in the
shooting, and denied knowlodgo of
the activity of Sidna Edwards, Victor
Allen and Bud Marion, now in jail

VERY NEAR ITS FALL
I IE PUBLICAN PARTY IS NEARING
ITS OPEN GRAVE.
Roosevelt is its Hoodoo and is Largely
Responsible for Its Perilous Position
at Present.
Intoxicated with its years of powsr
and obsessed with tlio one Idea of
maintaining its supremacy at any
cost, tho C. O. P . is tottering nearer
md nearer its political grace each
:lay, says the Washington correspondent
of The State.
Thoro are few persons who keep
abreast of the times and the political
events of tho day who fail to see
that when the funeral dirge is heard
in November and taps sounded for
he Republican party as now organized,
one Theodore Roosevelt, he of
Dyster Day, will be in charge of tho
cere ni on ies.
It's going to bo a big funeral, to
)e sure, and unusual joy will till the
marts of loyal Democrats all over
lie country. Judson Harmon, Wilson,
Clark, Underwood and all tlio
)ther littlo and big Democrats who
for more than sixteen years have
)een doing their best to break the
loodoo ties which have led them to
lefeat will be there.
And what about the colonel himself?
No one can blame the Repubieans
for their defeat at the polls
nit the sage of Sagamore hill. His
rushing defeat in his own State of
S'ew York when ho received only
seven out of ninety delegates ought
o be enough for any ordinary man.
But not enough for Mr. Roosevelt.
'To is another kind of man. Crushed
ind humiliated in bis own bailiwick,
loes ho take defeat gracefully? No.
t is "scandalous," he cries, and hies
llmself off to the wild West for mediation.
Then what about Indiana? Crush- '
d again there, though not quite so
ladly.as in New York, the silent, midlight
specials bring the news of a
tow party. It's going to bo a Itoose,'elt-Pinchot-Garfield
party, pure and
simple, but it's a safe bet that it will
lie in its infancy.
It's the year when the Democrats
ire scheduled to win, unless all poltieal
slate-makers have their wires
rossod and it is hardly probable that
:o many wise men would be wrong.

FARMEH'S BLINDNESS CURED.
Alien a Dentist Extracted Two of
Ills Wisdom Teeth.
Partially blind for five years, toally
blind for the past seven months,
Edward Kennedy, thirty-nine years
dd, a farmer residing at Parkerown,
Ohio, saw the light Friday afer
the extraction of two teeth. The
?ase is said to be without parallel
II deni'stry. Mr. Kennedy had been
leclared by eye specialists to be berond
human aid and had obtained a
pension from the blind relief fund.
Doctors gave the cause as paralysis
;)f the optic nerve. Mr. Kennedy
went to a dentist's office, suffering
severe pain. An examination showed
that two teeth, an upper molar
and a lower wisdom tooth, were badly
ulcerated, necessitating extraction.
Hardly had tlio second tooth been
[Milled when Mr. Kennedy exclaimed,
"I can see. I can see the light. I
can see the crack in the window. 1
can seo you."

WOULD m_ EASILY
WILSON WOULD BE ELECTED IF HE
IS NOMINATED
DECLARES HOKE SMITH
Ho Says the Democrats Must Nam? a
Thorough Progressive?With a Reactionary
Democrat Against Him
Taft Would Win?Thinks if Wilson
is Nominated lie Will Win,
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
one of the ablest and truest Democrats
of not only tho South, but the
entire country, favors tho nomination
of Gov. Woodrow Wilson by the
Democrats for tho simple reason that
ho believes the Democrats can win
an easy and a glorious victory with
(ho New Jersey Governor as their
standard bearer in the next election.
The Georgia senator's view of the
situation and his attitude toward it
are expressed in his own words in
an excerpt, quoted below, from a personal
letter to a close friend in Georgia.
Tho gentleman to whom the
letter was addressed prefers that his
name bo not used.
Senator Smith's letter was dated at
Washington on Thursday. It was in
response to one from tho friend regarding
political affairs and asking
for Senator Smith's view of tho national
situation. It was not originally
intended for publication.
So striking was tho part here quoted,
however, that the recipient of the
letter telegraphed to tho senator In
Washington, Friday afternoon, asking
his permission to give part of the
letter out for publication. And on
Satnrdav morniner the senator's con
sent, was received by wire.
The excerpt quoted is a comprehensive
summary of tlio big question
that is agitating Democracy, particularly
Georgia Democracy. "The
nomination of Mr. Taft by the Rpeublicans
is now practically assured. The
interests will support him," writes
Senator Smith.
"The Democratic party, as usual,
must rely upon the masses of the
people.
"Mr. Wilson stands for every
sound proposition of Democratic progress
and reform. IIo appeals not
only to the regular Democrats, but
he appeals to a large element of men
who have heretofore been Republicans
who are dissatisfied with Taft.
"Democrats in Maine believe he
will carry Maine; Democrats in New
Hampshire believe ho can carry New
Hampshire; ho is tho strongest candidate
in Massachusetts. It is very
doubtful whether it will bo possible
to beat tho protectionists represented
by Taft in Conifrecticut. Wilson is
the strongest candidate in New York;
he can carry New Jersey.
"The determined desire to beat
Taft because of his close alignment
with tho Republican machine, in view
of Wilson's open hostility to machine
politics and to political bosses, will
cause tho Republicans to have a fight
even in Pennsylvania. Tho best in
formed men believo Wilson can carry
Ohio. Tlis nomination will make Indana
perfectly saft. It is confidently
asserted that ho can carry Wisconsin.
"The majority of tho voters are
overwhelmingly against Taft In the
Dakotas and ready to vote for Wilson.
Nebraska will gof ro Wilson
against Taft. With the Republican
party bitterly divided on Roosevelt
and Taft in Kansas, it is at least
probable that wo can carry Kansas
for Wilson. Tho same situation exists
in Washington, Oregon aad California.
"Wilson woul dnot only be the
strongest candidate we could nominate
in the states usually relied upon
(o bo Democratic, but ho would glvo
us moro than an even chance to win
two-thirds of the northern vote as
well as tho solid south. If Georgia
stands for Wilson ho will bo nominated
and in all probability elected.
"If Georgia goes for Underwood
ho (Underwood) still has no chance
for tho nomination and even If nominated
ho could not bo elected over
Taft. Wo would havo nothing to appeal
to tho progressive thought of
tho country, and tho reactionary
thought is with Taft. Taft having
led the fight for them to beat Roose
volt, they will stick to him.
"With Underwood or Harmon as a
candidate, the chances all aro that a
third ticket would ho in the Held and
outside of Iho south wo would carry
nothing. Taft would get the conservative
vote and the third Republican
ticket would get tho progressive
vote.
"If our people can ho made to understand
this situation and tho Importance
which Georgia occupies In
the fight, it. will surely result in a
great Democratic victory."
White Man and Negro Killed.

GOV. BLEASE OUTS DOWN FINE
OF LAURENS MAX.
Reduced Fine of a Rich Laurens
Man From Fifteen Hundred Dollars
to Five Hundred.
John G. Whom, a farmer of considerable
welth, residing near Clinton
In Laurens county, convicted of assault
and battery for cowhiding a
poorer neighbor, was saved the sum
of one thousand dollars Saturday by
Governor I31ease.
Ho was convicted In Laurens
county at the last term of court on
the charge of assault and battery of
a high and aggravated nature and
was sentenced to servo two years In
tlio penitentiary or on the public
works of Laurens county or to pay
a flno of .ftcen hundred dollars.
Governor Bleaso Saturday commuted
tho sentence of Wham, to a
fine of tivo hundred dollars with tho
alternative jail sentence, which
means that Wliarm was saved one
thousand dollars by the chief executive.
Wham was convicted of striking
W. Ed. Nash, a well known citizen
of Clinton.
Considering tho crime of which
Wham was convicted, the sentence
ho received, was considered light.
'A'lifltn n vir>h man. nn ft the fin ft
as cut down by Governor IHease is
really no punishment to him. Wham
could have easily paid tho fifteen
hundred dollars.
Cyo Robinson, who v as convicted
in lleaufort in 1SSS on the nharge of
murder and sentenced to hang, his
sentence afterward having been commuted
to lifo imprisonment, has
been paroled by the governor during
good behavior.
Frank Dial, who was serving a
sentence of five years in tho state
penitentiary on the charge of burglary,
has been paroled by tho governor.
He was convicted in 1 000 and
sentenced to life imprisonment. Ilis
sentence was commuted to five years
by Governor Ansel.
Since assuming office Governor
F.leaso has turned loose in all 3 13
criminals, which is nearly one a day.
Should the Governor bo reelected, by
the time his second term would end,
if lie keeps up bis present rate of
turning criminals loose ho will havo
pardoned over twelve hundred convicts,
which would about empty tho
penitentiary.
GOOD ADViriO FROM CHOKER.
Thinks Democrats Will Lose If They
Continue to Quarrel.
"Get together." "Unless tho Democrats
work together, President Taft
will defeat them " "Something may
happen in a day th*t will ruin all."
I nose are mrt'o ui mu crisp suutences
that Uichard Croker expressed
at New York upon his arrival from
Florida, where ho had spent the winter.
'Mr. Croker looks as well aa
good health could make him and ho
says ho will sail for Ireland next
week. Ho gave out a formal statement.
This is what ho said in part:
"The Democratic outlook depends
very much on whether the leaders
adopt a harmonious policy. The future
is full of uncertainty when you
consider tho various factions which
are working against one another to
iho harm of tho party. Something
may happen in a day that will ruin
all.
"I can say ono thing," continued
tho former Tammany chief, "and
hat is that unless tho Democrats
change their present methods and
all work together, President Taft
will defeat them. This is 110 timo
for disagreements and divisions."
Mr. Croker had nothing to say about
candidates. IIo is for harmony.
