| JUDGE JONES PLEASED
K Complete Returns From County Conventions
Show that the Jones Supporters
Will be Greatly iu the Majority
in the State Convention,
I Which Meets Next Week.
With the returns from Dorchester
and Williamsburg on the results of
ft the oounty Democratic conventions
held in the State Monday the reports,
as received by th? News and Courier
show 247 delegates to the State
Convention, who are classed as supporters
of Judge Ira B. Jones in the
contest for the Governorship, 51 for
Cole L. Bleaeo and 5 0 whoso ljunings
are not known. With comnloto
I returns, therefore, and reports from
all the forty-four counties, It appears
that Judge Jones'B friendB will
have complete control of the State
Convention.
Tho Williamsburg Convention reported
Tuesday night, passed resolutions
endorsing Governor Woodrow
Wilson as tho Democratic choice for
Presidential candidate. This makes
five counties that instructed for Wilson,
with a total of 50 delegates.
There will be 33 6 delegates in the
State Convention, so no Presidential
candidate is assured of the endorsement,
although with sentiments oxpressed,
Wilson appears to bo the
choice of conventions, whoso delegates
number something over 100.
Regarding the results of the county
conventions Governor BJease, according
to a dispatch from Columbia
Tuesday night, said:
"Judging from the newspaper reports
I presume that a majority of
the delegates to the State Convention
will bo unfavorable to my candidacy
for reelection. However, I
am very much gratified at the result
of the conventions throughout the
State on Monday, particularly In that
00 many of the counties have gone on
record as against restriction of the
rights of the people to vote In the
primaries. I do not think that the
results of yesterday will have any
effect in the Gubernatorial race unless
it be perhaps to wake up my
friends and make them more careful
in the future. I have received re*
ports from some of the counties
which are quite different from what
is in the newspapers.
"In addition to this I am Informed
that in Anderson the rights of
the people were entirely ignored and
a committee was appointed to name
the delegates and by a chairman who
Is known of all men to be one of my
bitterest enemies. Consequently wo
could expect nothing elso from them.
I fifrther notice that In Greenville it
is almost entirely a city delegation
and from reports there I am satisfied
that the county people aud the mill
people were not fairly represented
in the Convention. It was this Convention
plan and just such schemes
as was done yesterday by certain
people that brought about the reform
movement in 1890 and swept
Tillman and his followers into office
and the old liners out.
"My prediction is the primary in
Auguts will show that the conventions
of yesterday have but aroused
the people to a fact which I have
been trying to show them, namely,
that the newspapers and certain other
elements are endeavoring to regain
control of the State and get the
so-called aristocracy back on top.
Their scheme will fail. I will be reelected
Governor by a larger majority
than I received two years ago. My
votes do not come from the professional
Convention attenders and
Court House loafers, but from the
"wool-hat boys' and the leading men
of the State and upon them I am depending
and with them I rest my
cause and it's in good hands. When
you hear from the boys that were
'homo yesterday attending to their
Vi.riMAEo vnn will il i ff c?rpn t rr
PO J W ? t M i . t v
suits; wo will win.
"1 am sorry to note tho split in
Charleston and hope that, tho two
factions can settle tliolr differences
at d come to tho State Convention
without a contest," said the Covernor.
Ho Is confident of getting a big
Tttfrjcrity In Charleston In zho oltct.'on.
Judge Jones Much Pieced.
Judge Jones when asked tor an Interview
Tuesday as to tho results of
the elections Monday, stated to The
News and Courier correspondent, that
he was much gratified at tho action
of tho various county convent'ons
over the State and felt more confident
than ever of his election.
Little <*lrl Drinks Poison.
Little Ilattle ITeron, 10 years old,
an Inmato of the Epworth Orphan
Homo at Columbia, took carbolic acid
Tuesday by mlstaho and died three
hours later. The child was given
some of tho acid by one of the matrons
and told to take it to another
'm/ matron of the institution. She evidently
understood tho matron to tell
her to take It, for she stepped outside
tho door and drank the entire constats
of the bottle.

tho State executive committee, heads
a solid Bloase delegation to tho
l^tato Convention and his former
law partner, Fred H. Dominick,
was re-elected county chairman.
Govornor Bloase was heartily cheered
when County Chairman Dominick
turned over the gavel to him.
Th? test of strength between the
Bleaso and Antl-Blease factions
came early in the Convention on the
election of president of the Convention.
Governor Blease was placed
in nomination by J. Marion Davis
and Joseph L. Keitt was placed in
nomination by Walter H. Hunt.
Tho Convention ordered a roll call
of delegates and Governor Bleaso
was elected over Mr. Keitt by a vote
of 95 to 57.
This showed the strength of the
two factions, the lines being closely
drawn in this election and there was
no further opposition to the Bleaso
lickets. The eight crelegates to the
State Convention were placed in
nomination by Eugeno S. Bloase, a
brother of tho Governor, and were
chosen by acclamation, thoro being
no ticket nominated against them.
Governor Blease was chosen State
executive committeeman by acclamation.
Tho delegates to the State
Convention are? Colo L. Blease, Fred
H .Dominick, A. H. Hawkins, S. W.
Young, I,. VV. Floyd, A. D. Hudson,
H. O. Long, J. M. Davis. There was
intense interest in the Convention.
It was understood there would bo
tickets all along the line by both
factions, but the B-lease forces worked
without opposition after the first
decisive test of strength.
A resolution was passed instructing
the delegates to the State Convention
to oppose any effort to
change the voting qualifications in
the primary.
The Presidential situation was not
broached in the Convention, but the
Newberry delegation is Anti-Wilson.
Underwood has several strong supporters
and the delegation will in all
probability support Underwood. It
is, however, opposed to instructing
the State delegation to the Baltimore
Convention.
W. H. Hunt and J. Will Wilson
were chosen vice presidents of the
Convention and John K. Aull and
Frank R. Hunter secretaries. The

Governor Blease returned to Columbia

thanks to the people of his home
county who had so substantially endorsed
him at the County Convention
Thero had been an effort to got
it circulated throughout the State

him.
"I suppose," said Governor Blease,
"the action of tho Democrtic Convention
of Newberry County to-day
where tho lines were drawn, is sutlicient
to nail any such report. I am
deeply appreciative of the support
which Newberry County has given
mo in all my past political career
and tho support which the people
of my county continuo to accord me.
I had no fears as to Newberry, however."

Several Freight Cars Jumped Track
Two Men Injured.
On last Tuesday afternoon a wreck
on tlio Atlantic Coast Fine Railway
occurred between Cameron and Creslon,
wrecking several cars and injuring
two men. The wreck was
caused by several freight cars of a
long freight train jumping the track
and rolling diwn an embankment after
passing a trestle between the two
points named above.
Five freight cars and one coal car,
nil heavily loaded, jumped the track,
and wero considerably broken up.
A negro brakeman, who was walking
along on top of the cars, jumped to
tho ground when he saw the cars
leaving the track. lie suffered a
broken leg and other injuries. Had
ho remained 011 the cars the chances
aro that ho would have been killed.
While working at the scene of tho
wreck tho coal car turned over on
tho section master, inflicting painful
Internal injuries. No others wore injured.
Tho traffic along the Hue was
delayed somewhat. The track was
badly torn up, but the large force of
hands soon had It In repair for trav1c.
Wo 'have not learned what caused
tho accident which might have
been very much worse than it was.

OPPOSED SEN. TILLMAN
HIS ENDORSEMENT FOUGHT BY
A FRIEND OF BLEASE.
Hut It Availed Nothing, as tho Convention
Endorsed Both Senator
Tillman and Jones.
The Edgefield correspondent of the
A a / ? />? l/>! qa tru 4h a Anmna.
au^unuii viii uiiiv iu oil/ o utu ucuiv/\^rary
of Edgefield county in convention
bad a strenuous mooting. It
was the most lively convention that
has met in Edgefield in years, and
there was sometlng doing all the
time.
The convention endorsed Senator
Tillman for re-election; it endorsed
S. C. Cartor for Stato treasurer, and
overwhelmingly endorsed Ira B.
Jones for governor, and elected u
solid delegation to the state convention.
The result of the vote in endorsing
Mr. JoneB was 68 to 4, one
club under instructions, declining .o
vote at all.
The convention was ably addressed
by S. McQowan Simkins who opposed
the endorsement of any one for
office, claiming that if the convention
did so, it would be going back
to tho old system of convention nominations
and would be a direct slap at
our primary system of nominating
candidates.
After the convention had been organized
the ball was opened by J.
Win. Turmond who offered a resolution
to the effect that the rules be
suspended, and Senator Tillman be
elected to the state convention by acclamation.
J. R. Blackwell moved
that Colonel W. J. Talbert be elected
in the same way, and that brought
about the first clash In the convention.
The election of Mr. Tillman was
first taken up and carried. Mr. Thurmond
then moved to tablo tho rcsolu
tion of Mr. Black well as to Colonel
Talbert. The nomination of Mr. Talbert
by acclamation was opposed by
'Mr. Thurmond, and favored by
Messrs. S. McGowan Simkins, Dr. W.
D. Blackwell and others. The motion
to table was carried.
It was then in order to elect by
ballot the other five of the six delegates
that Edgefield is entitlel to In
the S-tate convention. Mr. A. E.
Padgett nominated Ave men as folfolws,
who elected easily: A. M.
Clark, J. 13. DeLaughter, J. Win.
Thurmond, J. P. Littlejohn, and Jno.
R. Blocker, S. M. Smith, Jr., nominated
S. McGowan Simkins and W. J.
Talbert, but they failed of election.
Mr. Padgett stated in nominating
the five men that he stood security
for each of them being Jones men to
the core, but nothing was said about
how Senator Tillman stood; though
it follows as a matter of course that
as tho convention so overwhelmingly
endorsed Mr. Jones that 'Mr. Tillman
will have to stand by tho former
chief justice in the state convention.
The list of delegates had been prepared
in advance of the meeting of
the convention, and as matter of
course, it went through as pre-arranged.
Mr. Padgett so stated when
ho offered the names, explaining that
the various clubs had been consulted
and it was desired to spread tho representation
over the county.
The next battle fought was over a
resolution by Mr. G. W. Scott endorsing
Sam C. Carter, a native of this
county, but for some years a non-resident,
for the position of state treasnr
er, but the opposition failed and Mr.
Carter was endorsed.
Then followed a resolution by Mr.
W. B. LaGrono endorsing Senator
Tillman for re-election. Mr. Simkins
again took the lloor and briefly reiterated
his grounds against endorsing
anyone. The result of tho vote was
that Mr. Tillman was endorsed by a
largo majority.
Captain John R. Blocker offered a
resolution endorsing Ira B. Jones for
governor. Mr. Simkins again made a
strenuous effort to stem the tide, but,
ho failed to chango any votes, and
Mr. Jones was endorsed by a vote of
08 to 4, one club not voting because
it had been instructed to oppose tho
endorsement of any one; and not hecause
it was opposed to Mr. Jones.
S. McGowan Simkins, who opposed
tho endorsement of Senator Tillman
and udge Jones, and favored the
election of Co!. W. J. Talbert, Senator
Tillman's opponent, as a delegate
to the State convention, is a personal
friend of Governor Blenso, and his
opposition has caused some comment
among tho Senator's friends. It will
also be noticed that Mr. Simkins opposed
tho endorsement of Judge ones.

JUMPS THE TRACT
LEVEN KILLED ANDFORTY INJURED
IN A WRECK
?
WENT DOWN HIGH DANK
?
Three Women and Several Children
Anions the Killed?Train Was on
the Way to the Confederate Reunion,
but No Veteran Was Killed,
but Several Were Injured.
Eleven persons mot instant death
when tho first section of tho New
Hrlftjins nnd Northeastern Confeder
uto Veterans' special, en route from
Texas to the annual reunion at Macon,
Ga., was derailed early Monday
at a trestle a milo south of Eastbuchie,
Miss., the locomotive and five
cars being badly wrecked. Forty or
more were injured.
Two of the unidentified dead are
babies and three other victims have
not been taken from beneath the debris
up to tonight are believed to be
veterans.
Engineer W. A. Wood, of Meridian
Miss., and two unknown machinists
were killed. The derailment was on
a straight line and the train was running
about 30 miles an hour. The
dead were brought to Hattiosburg.
The Identified dead are: Mrs. J.
L. Cameron, Henderson, Texas; J. S.
Dowing, Atlanta, Ga., W. A. Wood,
Merdian, Miss., engineer; Mrs Chas.
Holmes, Big Springs, Texas. C. C.
Jones, negro fireman will die. The
scene immediately after the crash
was made particularly distressing by
the cries of the injured.
Those who were uninjured immediately
went to work assisting In extricating
the less fortunate comrades,
carrying them to improvised hospi
tals in the few coaches not overturned.
'Many of the injured veterans
did what they could towards relieving
the moro seriously hurt.
When tho engine and tender left
the tract at the short trestle they
were followed by the baggage car,
day coach, and three tourist sleepers.
These cars wero badly splintered
and it is regarded as most
miraculous that any of the occupants
escaped.
Hattiesburg citizens from every
walk of lifo mot . the train which
brought the dead and Injured here.
The King's Daughters, U. D. C., the
Masons, Elks and other benevolent
orders and societies had active representatives
on the scene anxious
to care for the injured and the veterans
and their wives were made to
! feel that they were in the hands of
friends.
A band of 4 0 musicians from
Grand Saline, Texas, none of whom
was hurt, rendered good service in
the work of rescue. Capt. John M.
Dean, president of the First State
Hank, Grand Salnie, Texas, Mrs.
Dean and seven sons were in one of
'lift wrecked cars. Tie received in
Juries whilo Mrs. Dean and several
sons were more or less injured.
The cause of the wreck has not
been ascertained positively tonight.
Tho train was running at about HO
miles an hour and was crossing an
embankment with a trestlo in the
centre. Just as tho engine reached
tho trestle it was seen by a Mr. Gunni3
of Gunnis Mill to rear up and
leave the track.
The five cars followed tho engine,
Bomo tumoling down the embankment
and forming a tangled mass of
splinters and twisted iron. Two
cars dashed against poles of the
Cumberland Telephone company 30
feet from the track, demolishing the
poles and severing communication
with Hattiesburg.

Tho Washington correspondent of

llryan had a private talk with Speaker
Clark, in tho latter's ofilco at the
Capitol Saturday, there is no evidence
that it resulted in any dissipation
of,tho fooling that tho Nebraskan

manistation of coolness on thr
part of the Clark forces towards Mr,
