WILL SHOW FUND |l I ? JONES SCORES A HIT IN REPLYING A SILLY CHARGE ; 1 * OFTEN MADE BY BLEASF Taken Out of His Room to People See He Was Not Drunk. ?Near-Figlit 1 Jet ween Lyon and Evands is Most Exciting Feature of Meeting. Judge Jones at the campaign meeting at Abbeville Friday, declared most emphatically tnai not one cum had been put in bin pockets by corporations to assist him in his campaign for Governor, and that ho was paying his own expenses. Thus has the question frequently asked by Governor JUeasn been answered. Judge Jones declared he wanted a clean election and proposed to obey the letter of the law governing campaign expenses, and would file his statement at the proper time. Judge Jones while in Abbeville was the guest of Chief Justice Eugene 13. Gary. Another near fight between Attorney-General Lyon and Mr. 13. 13. Evans created some excitement, but the prompt intervention of officers and by-standers prevented a personal encounter, although bith of the belligerents appeared in the humor for a "scrop", and many in the crowd were disappointed when they failed to come together. For Attorney-General. For Attorney-General Messrs. Pee?x'"" l'1" "1- nr\r\l/n ohniit In tholr jnua ci 1111 luai 11; D^/wuv/ c*. a v?? w. usual vein. Mr. Evans, it seemed, was at first somewhat cautious in his language, referring to i\lr. Lyon, but, evidently encouraged by some shouts of approval, gradually opened up in Characteristic fashion. Mr. Evans again ridiculed Mr. Lyon's claims to being a lawyer. He asked if anybody in Abbeville County hart ever entrusted an important case to his opj>onent. Mr. Evans said lie hated to accuse anybody of stealing, but that Mr. Lyon was not a poor man, and deel a red that he (Lyon) has recently sold a piece of property in Columbia for $7,500, although his salary was but $1,000 a year. Replying to some remark from the crowd, Evans de?clared he was not afraid of Lyon, saying "it takes two to make a shooting match, and if he can shoot any quicker than I can I am his meat, but if he don't both of us will go down together." Mr. Lyon began by denouncing Mr. Evans, at whom he pointed his (lunger, and declared it was very disagreeable to be in a campaign with a "dirty liar like that". Evans was Jetting within arm's length of the fcpeaker, who declared mat nis opponent could flaunt his bravery but the people of Saluda and others "know he's a dirty liar". Mr. Lyon said he had been taunted for employing a Georgia lawyer. "Old Tom Peltier," again chimed in Josh Ashley. "Yes, and what's the matter with you and your kind is that Felder caught the grafters and that's what you don't like," retorted the Attorney-General. The excitement came when iMr. Evars attempted to make a categorial reply. Mr. Lyon warned the chairman he would resent any insult Evans might offer. "I have denied seriatim the charge of this dirty fraud, whom I have denounced all over the State an infamous liar," began PJvans, whoso words were cut short by tne advance of the Attorney-General with clenched fists. Evans assumed a waiting attitude. The chaiunan grabbed Mr. Lyon. Policeman 'Bruce Mr. Evans, while the mayor and several citizens rushed upon the stand. By forco of superior numbers the would-be combatants were kept apart. Mr. Evans made another attempt to reply, hut the crowd was in no humor to listen, so he gave it up and the incident was closed. Governor Blease. Governor Blease described his arrival in Abbeville, saying ho was met at the depot by Messrs. Wm. N. Graydon, Wm. P. Greene, and others. Later, said the Governor, among those who called at his room in the "hotel were Chief Justice Gary, ExSheriff P. W. It. Nance, Senator Moore, Senator Earlo and Representative Peeplcs, the last two candidates for Attorney-General. The Governor said Mr. Nance wanted him to go out on the streets, insisted on his doing so, but gave no reason for the urgent request. The Governor said ho did not go, but later learned that the ex-sheriff's object was to prove false alleged reports that he (the Governor) was in his room drunk. "Iit's a lie,; not so," came from the crowd. "Another Jones lie nailed," said the Governor. <Mr. W.. It. Richoy Sr., of Laurens, substantiated the Governor's statement that ho (Mr. Richey) and his son were not supporting tne Governor with a view lo obtaining a pardon for R. A. Rlchoy, who is serving a term in the Penitentiary, having been , irti 1 .if m i effort f i ti p* n wltllo rHrl vy M V It. t'-/\ t A V l All VI V<W \? If ?4i VW n I . , under fourteen years of n^o. In this the Governor claimed ho had nailed st iM another ".Tones lie". R. A. Richey is a brother of W. R. Richey Sr., who is a prominent attorney of Laurens. "Never did, it's a lie," came from Josh Ashley when the Governor asked him to corroborate his (Blease's) denial that ho had promised Ashlej to pandon Pearman, who killed Nance in that county, and according to'tho Governor, "Jones lie" No. a had been put whero it would do nc 'harm. Tho Governor paid his re spools to tho local papers, tho Medium and the Press and Banner, callin# them "two by four sheets," "in< loos," and the like. The Governor road a letter fron * E. A. Newman, of a Camden mill village, saying Charles D. Jones, "gave Archie Vincent^.of Heath Springs, $50 to work for.votes for his father till August 27., "Best Governor South Carolina ever had," once more broke in Josh Ashley. The Governor, in warning his supporters of an alleged plot to count him out and warning them to watch the polls closely, took a shot at Democratic State Chairman John Gary Evans,, to whom he referred as "the biggest scoundrel they could get for chairman to rob you. They say they aro going to steal the tickets and have a shortage." Governor Blease was roundly applauded as he closed. Judge Jones. Judge Jones, introduced in the Opera House, was greeted with prolonged cheers. His speech was given -I -11 II ,1 CIU?? nut'iiiiuu uuu was iit;vjuciui/ punctuated with applause, as the speaker would drive home some fact or refute a charge. Judge Jon/s rebuked Governor Blease for a "breach of hospitality" in heralding the fact that Chief Justice Gary had called at his (the Governor's) room, the speaker declaring it merely a courtesy from one high official to another. The Governor having insinuated that perhaps the relations between Judge Jones and Chief Justice Gary were not any too cordial, the speaker declared that his successor in the State's highest judicial position is "now the best friend 1 have in South Carolina." "Governor iBlease said Chief Justice Gary is a better man than I, and I heartily concur in that," said Judge Tnnna ufhn fnrfh?r flnplnrurl t V? 5? t tin and Justice Gary had been friends from .boyhood and when he beat me for Associate Justice we ran and ended as friends, and when I ran against him for Chief Justice, the race was a friendly one," continued Judge Jones. When the speaker asked what elevating thought had been suggested by Governor Blease's speech, and declared it was nothing but malice, slander, dirt and vituperation, a voice in the crowd said: "Mr. Jones, you caused it all." "I have not caused it all," Judge Jones promptly sent back, declaring he had always fought fatr, had not struck below the belt and only attacked Governor Blease's ofTicial record, which everybody, he said, had a right to criticise. Judge Jones declared it was perfectly proper for Governor IMease to refer to his public record. Judge Jones' statement that Dr. P. B. Carwile voted with him against separate coaches, brought down the house. Dr. Carwile is one of the Governor's warmest supporters in Abbeville County, and is a candidate for the House on the Blease ticket. "I just want to tell Dr. Carwile Governor Blease says he's a niggerlover because he voted against separate coaches," said Judge Jones, "and remember Carwile is in the same boat." Judge Frank B. Gary, Messrs. T. A. Graham, J. T. Robertson, J. E. Todd and R. E. Hill, the latter now Master of Abbeville County, were others whom Judge Jones declared 1 i. ? 1. i ~ uppuduu ovimiuiu t kj wiii^u ho addml tho Hon. Dave Maglll, "now Lieutenant Governor of Greenwood County," but formerly a member of the House from Abbeville. Judge Jones said there were, "Not many fools in Abbeville County, who can be fooled by any such rot." Judge Jones made his osual strong plea for law and order and closed amid thunderous applause. Judge Jones received four l>ouquets and Governor 'Blease one. INFERNAL MACHINE EXPLODES. Addressed to a Young Lady But Goes off Before Time. Police officials, who have closely examined the remains of the infernal machine which was intended for Miss Ollio Hoover but exploded la the bands of the express agent at High Point, N. C. Saturday afternoon, seriously injuring himself and assistant, are wondering whether E. It. Mclntyre, who is charged with sending the machine and for wnom the police are now searching, made the machine himself or secured it from some other source. No one but an ingenious mechanic could have constructed such a device. The machine was in a box within a box. In the inside box, nicely bronzed and covered with a hinged and buckled lid, was a revolving cylinder stuck full of math heads like teeth in a threshing machine cylinder, that would nignite the powder when turned around by the opening of the 1 box lid. Still another device at the side of ; tho box, made out of small hand, saws was so adjusted that tho opening of the box lid would grate theso saws against another row of matches ' fastened to tho sides or the inner box. As yet, for some unknown reason, ' the fuse that was to fire the cap on the stick of dynamite failed to do its deadly work. ^ Dog Heats Women to Voting.

SPEAKS TO FARMERS TALKS OF THE TARIFF IN IT&ELATiONS TO THEM. WILSON RASPS ALDRICH The Democratic Ihresidcntial Nominee is Heard by an Immense Throng Gathered from the States of New Jrsey, Delaware and Pennsylvania at Gloucester, N. J. Under the glare of a hot thousands of farmers massed about Governor Woodrow Wilson at Gloucester, N. J., a few days ago and heard him make his first campaign speech since he was officially notified a week ago of his nomination to the Presidency. The Democratic nominee spoke ex temporaneously at Wasnington I'arK, where the farmers of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania were participating in a celebration. Tho candidate dwelt, mostly upon the protective tariff which he called "the restrictive tariff", attacked Senator Ahlrich and his tariff-making associates, pointed out the benefits of a merchant marine in connection with the Panama canal. lie blamed the influence of express companies in halting parcels post legislation. The Governor frequently was interrupted by applause and cheers. When he finishedl speaking many of the farmers crowded to shake hands. He was at the park about two hours, returning to Sea Girt. Governor Wilson said in part: "I am interested in politics not as a search for ofTlce, but as a great contest devoted to something very definite and practical indeed. Politics ought not to be considered as a mere occasion for oratory. Politics ought to be considered as a branch of the national business and a man who talks politics ought to tell his fellow citizens very distinctly what he thinks about their affairs and what his own attitude towards them is. "Here we are at a farmers' picnic, and on this day I suppose we might say that the farmers occupy the center of the stage. When did the farmers ever occupy the centre of the stage in our politics? I don't remember any t'ine. I have seen the interests of a great many classes specially regarded in legislation, but I must frankly say that I have seldom seen the interests of the farmer regarded in legislation. And one of the greatest impositions upon the farmer of this county that has ever been devised is the present tariff legislation of the United States. "I have not heard of farmers waiting for a hearing before the com mittee of ways and means of the House and the finance committee of the Senate in order to take part in determining what the tariff schedules should be. While you were feeding the world, Congress was feeding the trusts. Nobody doubts what the process of tariff legislation has been because everybody who has f)een curious enough to Inquire knows what tho process of tariff legislation lias been. "I would be ashamed or myself if I tried to stir up any teeling on the part of any class against any other class. I wish to disavow all intention of suggesting to the farmer that he go in and do somebody up. That is not the point. All that I am modestly suggesting to you is that you break into your own rtouse and live there. And I want you to examine very critically the character of tho tenants who have been occupying it. It is a very big house and very few people have been living in it and the rent has been demanded of you and not of them. You have paid the money which enabled them to live in your own house and dominate your own premises. "I regard this campaign as I have regarded every campaign in which the people have taken part since the world began, as simply a continued struggle to see to it that the people were taken care of by their own Government. And my Indictment against the tariff is that it represents special partnerships and does not represent the general interest. It is a long time since tariffs were made by men who even supposed that they were seeking to serve the general interest because tariffs were not made by the general body of members of their House of Congress. They have in their past been made by very small groups of individuals in certain committees of those houses, who even refused information to their folic w members as to the basis uput which they had acted in framing the E?iho" ttlcs. * Cue c.f the gentlemen who has been rrcsi. conspicuous'v connected with this thing has in recent years prudently withdrawn from public life. I tliean ?Mr. Aldrich. It at least give Mr. Aldrich the credit, of having had a large weather-eye. He saw that the weather was changing in Rhode Island?as well as in the rest of the Union; that men who had lone known that he was imposing upon them; felt that the limit had been reached and they were not going to he imposed upon any longer. They saw that tie wasn't even doing what no pretend on to no; nameiy, to servr the special interests of Ttnode Island because be was serving only some of the special interests of Rhode Island "Now there are various questions which you gentlemen ought to realize are pending, questions that directly concern the farmer. The tarifl intimately concerns the farmer ol this country. It make a great dea' of difference to you that Mr. Tafl the other day vetoed the steel bill Tt makes a difference to you in th* cost of parctically every tool thai you use, and it ought to be very slg nlflcant to you that a Democrats House of Representatives has just passed the steel tariff reduction bill ov$r tjie President's veto,, a thing I am informed is unprecedented in the history of the country?that a House should have passed two tariff measures over ttio veto or the President. "Tariff measures are not measures for the merchant merely, and the manufacturer. The farmer pays just as big a proportion or the tariff duties as anyuoay else. Indeed, sometimes when we are challenged to say who the consumer Is as contrasted with the producer, so far as the tariff is concerned, 1 am tempted toapswer 'the farmer', because he does not produce any of the things that get any material benefit from the tariff and ho consumes all of the things which are taxed under the tariff system." The Governor explained the benefits that might ac! crue to the farmer from the Panama I /lAmnl IP fl.r. m iw/ilinnf m n rmn ti' nrn i anai 11 1110 uu'i tiiuuv mui mu ?i v restored. He continued: "One of the great objects In cutting that great ditch across the Isthmus of Panama Is to allow farmers who are near the Atlantic to ship to the Pacific coast by way of the Atlantic ports. And one or the bills pending just passed by Congress provides for free tolls for American ships through that canal and prohibits any ship from passing through that canal which is owned by any American railway company. You are the object of that. We don't want the railways to compete with themselves, because wo understand that kind of competition. Wo want the water carriage to compete with the land carriage so as to bo perfectly sure that you are going to. get better rates around by the canal than you tir/Mi 1 /I o croon f ^ a flnnf Innnt Y?V/l(l\l Cllyl VOO tuu V/VUUlllVikbt "There is another thing in which you ought to he deeply interested which is in the program of the great party I belong to. That is the parcels post. This is the only civilized country in the world where the Government does not see to it that rates established by the Government enable men to ship their goods, large and small, as they please from one end of the country to the other. We have no parcels post because?may 1 conjecture t lie reason? ? because there are certain express companies which object. "Now, I move that the objections of all private enterprises be overruled. 1 move that we establish a parliamentary procedure by which they will not. even be considered, in order that men who have made legitimate investments of capital may not have their proper return for it, but in order that they may not look t the Goovernment for their proper return for it. The trouble with the business of the United States under the tariff is that men think they can't make money without the assistance or the Government. And as long as you allow them to think that then every mother's son of us is tied to the apron strings of the old grandmother sitting In the Capita,1 at Washington." In conclusion, Governor Wilson mid "I hr?Ur>vr? thnt thorn is iroinc to bo a great, handsome, peaceful, hopeful, revolution on the fifth day of November, 1912, and that after that revolution has been accomplished men will go about their business saying, 'what was it that we feared?' | We feared chains and we have won liberty. We feared to touch anyr thing for fear we should mar it, apd now everything wears the bright face of prosperity and we know that the right is also the profitable thing, and that nobody can serve a nation without serving also himself." ?

JONES FINALLY QUITS Even IJIease and (Ttizen Josh Ashley 1 Couldn't Manage the Crowd that i Did tho Meanness, the Farmer ( Saying llo Wouldn't Speak if they 1 Wouldn't I>et Jones Speak. The greates thowllng down yet ac- i corded a Bpeatter In the present polit- j ical campaign was that given Judge Jones Saturday by Anderson County voters, or at least an element of them. Judge Jones made four sop- ( arate efforts to begin his speech, but all were of no avail. Governor Blease, Acting County Chairman S. 1). Pearman and "Citizen Josh" Ashley all made efforts to quiet the crowd but the crowd would not be quieted. A well-groomed citizen said after the meeting that he had heard many of the howlers say before the meeting started that they came for the purpose of preventing Judge Jones from speaking. They succeeded. But neither did Blease deliver his speech, for he said that unless the crowd would hear Judge Jones he would not talk. The Governor did say a few words and took Hand primary, thus showing that a large part of those who put up their nands were in that section of the crowd whence had come the howling. The meeting was adjourned, the day's events breaking up in consternation. Pandemonium prevailed for awhile and the crowd so packed the speakers' stand that it came near collapsing. About 3,0uo people heard the candidates and it was evident that IMease's strength was strong, though when ttie hand primary was taken less than half the hands went up. There was a large part of the crowd which could not hear the Governor call for the "vote", so great, was the consternation. Good order was maintained during the meeting up until the introduction of Judge Jones. When lie was announced the crowd began its racket. There was a Continual uproar for many minutes trhd Judge Jones folded his arms; ^placed his knee upon the railing in front of him and waited. The crowd seemed determined not to hear him. The chairman reI monstrated with the howlers, but. he could not quiet them. Gov. Hleaso rose to his feet. A louder shout went up and then lulled. The Governor asked the crowd to hear - the speakers respectfully and said that he would not speak unless Jndg'e Jones were given a hearing. "You Jones men up in the trees ajjd a few scattered around are hollering for' Jones to make it appear he was liowled down, and to arouse sympathy for him," said the Governor, aTiu no ponueu 10 Buvenu men 111 a ftree and shouted: "You Jones fellows shut your mouths." Judge Jones, above the din, said a few words,' urging good citizens to grant the right of free speech, but ihe noise was renewed more loudly and ho sat' down. Four times did he start to talk and as many times sat down without having been given a respectful hearing. Josh Ashley made an appeal to the crowd, adding: "You won't hear nary, if you don't hear Jones. Re quiet, fellows," but this was likewise vain. The mayor of the city, L. G. Holleman, also made an attempt to quiet the crowd, but his effort likewise failed. Gov. Bleose was heard to tell Judge Jones that he thought both factions wore making tho noise, and at one time the Governor and Judge Jones had a wordy tilt as to the element of the crowd that was creating the disorder. A policeman stepped up but the candidates had no intention of an encounter. Governor Rlease turned to newspaper correspondents and demanded that they tell the truth in their reports as to the makers of the disorder. One of tho reporters is an Flk, and the Governor said he should he ashamed to make the false reports lie does after having taken the oath of that order. Men and women jammed the speakers stand and both candidates were presented with flowers. Governor ?lease was also given a gold watch and two gold lockets and j chains one set in diamonds, the gifts, j respectively, of the Orr and Rrogan j Cotton Mill operatives. During one of bis efforts to begin his speech immediately after Governor Please bad urged order and when the crowd quieted slightly, Judge Jones was beard by those standing around the stand to refer to the "separate coach eh a rge." "That, splendid gen ft cm an, Josh Ashley, voted with Jones and he stated that the Tlonse Journal would prove his statement. "T never done it," yelled Ashley above the din, John tried to make a speech to the crowd but amid confusion the voters left the grove. After the regular meeting adjourned Governor Please addressed a crowd of friends from the court house steps. Kills Hitler and Mount.

The Savannah press runs a story saying several murderers wanted in South Carolina hav? been released from custody in Savannah on habeas corpus proceedings because Governor Blease had not requested requisition. The sheriff of Beaufort county was present at the Savannah, hearing and declared the governor's ^ ^ rt nal/Arl O Uf Aol/ O (TO t f\ lUfillO unite V>ao OOI\cu ?, n vva u^v/ tv A mu u v? the requisition papers. At any ratei according to the Savannah paper tho murderers are now at liberty. The following is form the Savannah Press: Not knowing whether Governor Cole L. Blease of South Carolina will issue requisition papers for men caught in Georgia and wanted in the Sister state caused Judge Walter G. Charlton, in the Superior court this morning to release two men who are charged with murder. A third prisoner will be held until Saturday. The night of July there was a general light on the steamer Planter, which carried a crowd of negro excursionists down the river. While in Carolina waters John James was shot and killed. Returning to Savannah, four men were placed under arrest, in the case?John Gillstrap, Henry and Charlie lRo)biuson jand Charles Jones. Argument for the release of the men was made by Col. Golding and Mr. Leo A. Morrissy, representing the State made an eloquent plea that they he held, Sheriff McTear of Beaufort county, was in court and stated that the solicitor of the Beaufort district requested Governor Blea.se for papers over a week ago. Judge Charlton said he had no right to hold the mwn. Over two weeks had elapsed, he said and no intimation has been made by the governor that he even intends sending the papers, and Judge Charlton declared that he could not hold men indefinitely, just because Governor Blease was busy campaigning and did not take the time to fid out and send the papers even if it was his intention to send them. Concluding Judge Charlton stated he did not believe That Governor Blease would honor any requistion papers sent to him by Georgia, nor did he think Governor Blease would send papers into Georgia asking that prisoners be returned to Carolina The local authorities, Sheriff McTeer and the solicitor were comended by Judgo Charlton for the work in catching and holding the men. Judge Charlton deotared that ho would hold Robinson until Saturday and the others were released. Judgo Charlton said that nothing had been heard from Governor Blease as to whether he intended sending the papers and that two months from the present time the argument that the papers might, be on th? way could bo put up, but owing to the gravity of the offence, be would hold Robinson until Saturday. * TERRIBLE MASSACRE REPORTED Turks Said to Have .Butchered Women and Children.
