BOTH CLAIM RACE JONESITES AND BLEASITES SAY THEY WILL WIN ? REVIEW OF THE FIELD ?. .. , Jones People Say tlie Tide Has Been J tunning Strong Tlieir Way, and Appear Confident That They Will Win, While the Blcusitcs Appear Confident, They Give No Reason. With the primary only a few days away both the Jonesitcs and Bleasites confidently predict the election of their candidate. A prediction on a polillical contest is always more or less problematical and should be taken as the personal opinion of one man unless certain facts well known to the public are presented. A political contest prediction in South Carolina is dangerous for even the wisest of seers never know just what is going to happen. Governor Blease entered the campaign with one of the most vulnerable records that lias ever been made ft>y an American official. Ilis one n?oo 1st iiimot the ryublic r UV-IUfelll. n <10 vvi I... r .mind from that record and it must be confessed that he made good ror the first several weeks of the campaign. However, all of the people are not fools. The principal charge against Judge Jones was that he favored social equality. The latest puncture in that great big charge by the Governor is the letter of Senator 13. It. Tillman in which the senior Senator stated that no sensible man would believe that Judge Jones stood for social equality. The senior Senator further stated that Judge Jones was "eminently qualified" to be governor of the State. Several months ago Senator Tillman said that he would not take sides in this fight and in his letter he reiterated his former position. The letter of Senator Tillman will serve to turn many who had been made to believe, by the Governor, that Judge Jones favored social equality. The Jones people have become confident that their man will he elected. They give as reasons for this confidence that Blease was elected two years ago by a majority of only 5,6 4 5 over C. C. Featherstone, the prohibition candidate, and that at least 20,000 voters of South Carolina cast their vote for Blease because of his views on the whiskey guestion. In the campaign this year Jones and Blease are both on the local option platform. However, the whis"key issue will cut a small figure. In the last election Blease received 3,A65 votes in Charleston county to Featherstone 829. The Governor will not carry Charleston in the next election. The Governor has insulted practically every friend that he had - 1-1 1 in tue ftiaie who wouiu uavo uoou able to swing votes for him in this election. The utterances of the Governor on several stumps in the State have been so vile that hundreds of votes have been turned away. Practically every member of the last general assembly who is asking for re-election is fighting Please on the stump. The Governor has done much talking, yet he has so far failed to specify one instanco where he has committed an act as Governor of the State whereby the "poor man" has been benefitted. The Governor's attitude on State finances is found foolish and penny wise and the voters have not forgotten how he favored the unloading of a $90,000 debt on the State for a new State house. The blind tiger element in Charleston and the political ring rulers of that municipality will stand for almost anything except what is known as "double dealing and double crossing." The citizens of that cultured community has "been double dealt and . double crossed. That is the reason John P. Grace, the mayor of Charles'ton, is to-day waging a hitter fight on Please. Dear this in mind?Judge Jones has nothing to do with the Grace-Please affair. It is a fight in the official family and further carry this statement. John P. Grace is a member of the staff of the Governor. Whatever might have been said or done has nothing to do with the campaign of Judge Jones. This must is certain: Judge Jones will receive the vote of the antiGrace faction in Charleston. This will Rwing every possible vote to Judge Jones. To split the Grace vote would give Jones a majority in Charleston. Further hear in mind: Elmore Martin, the Sheriff of Charlestcn county, and a political power, has not much love for the Governor. In the last election Governor Please carried Richland county by 2,5 4 4 to 1,5 2.1. ITo will not carry Richland county in this election. There aro 1-.- ? tl.? -A.

The nieasiten, while claiming t.hoj will win, make no claim of gains nmong their supporters. They simply stand pat, and say as the Governor was olectod before, ho will b< again. It remains to he seen whether their claim is well founded. Th< .Tones people on the other hand claim that many who voted foi Bloaso two years ago have turnec and will vole for Jones this year They say that the people who hav< thus turned can he found in eacl community. It may be a close rac< nnd then it may be a landslide. Botl sides express confidence, hut tin Tones people have more ground fo their confidence than the Dlease peo pic.

With Telegraphic Service Interrupted No Details of Great Seismic Disturbance Can be Secured. A cablegram from Constantinople says details of the earthquake that wrecked several cites 011 the coast of the Sea of 'Marmora, and caused upheavals in the sea, which are coming in slowly owing to interruption of wires, indicates that the disturbance was widespread. Several hundred persons have been killed; thousands are homeless and outbreaks of fire have occurred in many towns and villages. The entire district "between Constantinople and Adrianople felt the shock severely. Fugitives from Myriophito report 300 killed and GOO injured. The town still was burning hen they left. Ganos-itora has been wiped out, SO persons being killed and 3 0 wounded. The wrecked buildings took tire and most of them were distroyed. Shar-Koi was completely destroyer ana two nearby villages were engulfed. Adrianople suffered little damage, but Cthorlu was partly destroyed by the earthquake and fire. The centre of the disturbance appears to have been in the region of the Dardanelles. Eye witnesses from that section give harrowing accounts of the havoc wrought. The majority of the houses in Gallipoli are in ruins, - ? ? J ? At- - ana tne people are camping in uie fields. Tchanak-Kalessi Is in an equally bad plight, but the loss of life in these towns is small, although many were injured. Warships anchored in the Dardanelles felt the shock severely. It was first attributed to Italian torpedo boats. The captain of the American steamer Virginia reports that the light house at Ganos Ilora in the Sea ot' Marmora has disappeared, and that the villages in the surrounding country are in flames. He was unable to anchor and render assistance owing to the violent movement of the sea. No accurate figures of the number of victims can be tabulated, though some estimates place the death list at 1,00ft and the injured from 5,000 to 0,000. In tne town of T-r inl-* nrno nAm n1 V H ft. DIlcir^'HUJ' i ? Lin. 11 nao v?v^ stroyed 60 persons were killed and 150 injured. Fires are reported from many cities in which numerous buildings were destroyed. Fissues opened to a length or about a mile along the river at Lule Burgas, 4 0 miles southeast of Adnanople and from the apertures hot water, sand, foam and sulphurous vapors were emitted. Terrible suffering and want is reported from the stricken district in what meagre information is obtainable. ? ? STANDS BY HIS FRIENDS. ? Mr. E. Ij. Archer Tells About a Spartanburg Case. Mr. E. L. Archer, Chairman of the Spartanburg County Democratic Executive Committee, in an address at Reidville, said that Malcolm Bowden, a friend of Governor Blease, was appointed treasurer of the Spartanburg County Democracy two years ago at the instance of T. It. Trimmier, who guaranteed a correct settlement. When Bowden was called upon to turn his books over to his recentlyelected successor he would not do so until threatened with mandamus pro 11! 11? T") ,1 In CeeUingS. rillttliy umv uv;u iui ucu >u the boohs but they showed a shortape of $207, said Mr. Archer, according to Bowden's own figures. It was because of this shortage that all tho election managers were not paid two years ago. Mr. Archer said he felt morally bound to make good the $207 deficit out of his own pocket and would do so. "You say," continued Mr. Archer, "why don't you prosecute him? When we went to look for him we found him in Columbia. And what was he doing there? Monkeying with Gov. Blease. What's the use to prosecute a man when he has got his pardon beforehand?" Bowden Is the man whom Blease appointed as magistrate, contrary to tho recommendation of the Spartanburg county delegation, to fill the place of Magistrate A. H. Kirby, an old Confederate vettran. ? ? ? GREAT LOSS BY ABMY WORM. ? . Eight Million Dollars Damage to Crops of the South. ftio? tQ nnn nan rinmnpr> was w ? \v ? mvu y vj ) v v v ? v v v v? ^ . done to crops in the South last month by the army worms, according to tho department of agriculturo mado at Washington Thursday. Whether the season's second brood of the insects, already appearing in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and other states, will Increase this loss is of much concern to government experts. All tho means at the 1 department's disposal are being used to meet the emergency. ' Reports to tho department say the * army worms at somo places half a foot deep on railroad tracks have stopped trains. This loss Is placed > at $1,000,000 in Georgia, while in - Arkansas 2 0 per cent. of. the corn and > 10 per cent, of cotton planted have ? been destroyed. Losses also have r been great In Tennessee, the Carol! 1 nas, Alabama, Mississippi and Louis . iana. In some of these, particularly ? Louisiana, they exceed the mtllloi i mark. Corn, cotton, sugar cane, aiu s Haa rrona from i/ouisiana to the At " v " r " ? i lantic have been affected. 0 r Tlnir Turned White In a ?TifTy.

YARN ISRUN DOWN GAVE STREET RUMOR AS AUTHORITY FOR SLANDER ABOUT JUSTICE JONES Colonel Carlisle, of Governor Mease's Staff, Tut in a Humiliating Position by Hcing Citable to Give His Authority for Statement About Mahon and Judge Jones. Governor Blease made a statement at the Gaffney meeting on Thursday that Mr. G. Heyward Mahon, who is ' managing Judge Jones' bureau in Greenville county, was employed by the Parker 'Mills company and that this company was financing Judge Jones' campaign in that section is branded as untrue in statements issued by both the Parker Cotton Mills company and Mr. Mahon. The governor told of one of the reporters that he received this information from Dr. J. P. Carlisle, a Greenville dentist, who is a colonel or Please staff. Mr. Mahon called on Col. Carlisle for the sources of his information imparted to the governor and Dr. Carlisle is quoted as saying the information was given him in (confidence. However, it is stated that I Col. Carlisle promised, after trying to evade the question, to make a statement. Cotton Mills Denial. ? , * k ? ? ine statement, uuiu mo uunci Cotton Mills company Is as follows: "It has come to my attention that certain statements have been ma<le in the daily press to the effect that Mr. G. Hey ward Mahon, Manager of Judge Jones' campaign in this city, is a representative of the Parker Cotton Mills company and that the Parker Cotton Mills company is financing the Jones campaign in this locality. "I beg to state that these state-: ments are absolutely without foundation. i "Mr. Mahon has never represented Parker Cotton Mills Company as a salesman or otherwise. He sold, at one time, for the Osceola Commission company of this city goods man- ufactured by the Parker Cotton Mills company's mills. I am advised that he has not been connected with the Osceola Commission Company for more than a year. "Any intimation that Parker Cot ton Mills company is financing any part of Judge Jones' campaign Is, of course, absurd and untrue. Parker Cotton (Mills Co., M? M. Trotter, Secy. & Asst. Treas. What Mahon Says. The statement from Mr. G\ H. Mahon is as follows: "I notice that Governor mease nas seen fit to connect my name as a representative of and selling goods for . the Parker Cotton Mills Co., and that his information came from Dr. J. P. Carlisle and asked him from whom he got his information. '"He said the party asked him not to give his name. "I then demanded of him that he write a statement to this effect. He tried to evade it, but finally promised that he would, and I hope he will make good his word in the same issue of the paper that this is printed ? in. "The facts are these: I have not sold one dollar's worth of goods for any branch of the Parker Cotton Mills Co., or for any one connected with them for more than one year, and the statement of the Secretary of the Parker Cotton Mills Co., will verifv all that I say. "I further wish to state that the i Parker Cotton Mills Co., nor any one connected with them, have anything whatever to do with financing or anything else with the Jones Bureau of Greenville. Very truly, "G. H. Mahon." Quoted Street Humor. Dr. Carlisle, who, as stated above, is a Colonel on Governor Blease'e staff, Friday issued a statement regarding the letter which Governor Please says Dr. Carlisle wrote him giving information that G. H. Mahon was connected with the Parker Cotton Mills company. Mahon Thursday demanded that Dr. Clarlisle correct the report that ho was connected with the company. Carlisle declared that what he said was rumored on the streets and also told by reliable persons. T.ater on in the statement he says: ' So far as I am Individually concerned, I know nothing whatever of the particular point lu question relative to the Parker mills financing the Jones campaign, and I said nothing concerning them in this matter. Ana as stated, It was street rumor." And yet he wrote it to Governor Blonso, who used It on tho stump. Street rumor is very poor authority, and the fact that Dr. Carlisle used it places that gentlemen in a humiliating position. A gentleman should he able to give responsible authority for such a serious charge. ? ? All About a Kiss. Somo amusing things happen at s the campaign meetings. At Gaffney I a little gill carried up a hunch of i flowers to Governor Tlleaso, he took I her up and kissed her, and began to > speak of the Innocence of childhood 3 and the kiss the little girl had given - him, when some fellow in the au? - dienco veiled to the Governor to cut f it out, as Hio little girl did not know ) any bettor. The Governor got mad 1 and invited the Intruder to meet him - up town after the meeting and settle tho matter. The fellow said there w?3 no reason to wait to go up town, p.3 he was ready to rottle it there and ,, then. Tho matter Is still unsettled, r - +? t Atlantic Floct Coming, s The great Atlantie fleet will vist it Charleston this furl or winter s This of distinct interest to tho people of the state. 4 CLASSIFIED COLUMN Indian Runner Ducks? $1 each.

Two enginemen and a passenger were killed, a spectator fell dead and forty or more passengers were injured shortly before noon Thursday by the derailing of an inbound train on the Plymouth division of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad in Dorchester. Tho train, made up of a locomotive, three passenger coaches and a baggage car, was rushing along at 33 miles an hour when the locomotive jumped the rails on a sharp curve. Two of tho passenger cars followed the engine off the rails. Tho locomotive plunged off into a marsh and half buried itself. Tho momentum of the train carried two of the passenger cars over the engine, while the third passenger car and baggage car remained on the rails. The bodies of the engineer \and fireman were found buried deep in the debris. ? Five Prisoners Kscape. Five prisoners escaped over th< lilgrh wall of the Ohio penitentiary ai . Columbus Tuesday.
