LARGEST CROWD YET AT SPARTANBURG (Continued from Pago Two.) anything more to do with it?' "You certainly did." replied the Tennessee attorney. Harry Stokes, of Nashville, who stood near the stand. Dictagraph Incident. Then the governor took up the did tagraph incident, now listed among the classics of South Carolina po litical history. "You had a great machine here not long ago," he said. "They tried to drag down one of your best young men by a infernal lying dictagraph In order to hurt Colo Dclase. What did they get? Nothing but the damdest beating you ever beard of on August 27. You had another happening. 1 don't like to mention it. Hut somebody asked me, 'Why didn't they serve brains with the eggs?' and l t id them, 'Because the Jones men didn't have enough brains.' " (This was in reference to the throwing of rotten eggs from the gallery at John I'. Grace, mayor of Charleston, when Mr, Grace spoke re cently in the theatre here.) "It was a great crime," the speaker went on. "when in Spartanburg some people howled down a speaker, but at Manning, when the mayor stood in the crowd and let Jones wh? 'ps howl me down, he was a great man." Puts 0. b. on Johnson. Governor Blease in passing put his o. k. on Ollll Ii- Johnson, mayor of Spartanburg, who has been severely criticised because of his attitude In regard to the disorder at the Grace meeting. "You'll never have a more honorable man." said the governor, "nor greater friend of the poor man than Spartanburg has In the mayor's Chair right now. You're going to send him up higher, too." Jones, Blease said, was one of those who voted to retire Wade Hampton, let some of the same crowd who swor they would never vote for a man who voted against General Hamil ton were now lined up behind Jones. "He says the Daughters of the Con federacy are praying for him. Yes. and the Sons of the Confederacy and those who fought in the war are not praying so much but they are voting for Cole Dlease. I suspect that some of those same Daughters of the Con federacy had better be praying for their husbands, who lie around the clubs in Columbia and play poker and get drunk." Kopcnts Old Cbanre. Repeating bis familiar declaration that Judge Jones wronged General Hampton by crediting Irby instead of Hampton with "stamping out Inde pcndcntlsm," the speaker said, "Lot's see what Irby said of your fellow townsman. John Gary Evans." and read from a memorandum a string of epithets Including "traitor," "liar," and several other terms of like sever ity. He did not say when or In what circumstances this language was used by the late Senator Irby. ('lies News ami Courier. Governor Blease read an editorial printed in the Charleston News and Courier of April 17. last, in which the method emp".< > < d by the Atlanta de tectives engaged In tie Bench case at Aiken by Solicitor Gunter and Mayor Gyles was clrticlseri. "Yet after that," said the governor, "they published on me a dirty, filthy story that was not fit to rea din the humblest negro hovel in the state. In one case, it was to convict a millionaire, in the other to hint nie for political pur poses. Then it was 'Anything, Lord, to beat Dlease!" " The speaker de clared Jenes would never be elected governor, because th people would not make "that man" governor in name only and let "Gonzales'' be gov ernor in reality. "They quoted," he said, "from Till man today. They've been doing ev erything they COUld to get him to Come out against me. Hut they'll never lind Den Tillnian lined up with that gang that runs The State and The Spart a n hurt' Herald. Jones says that if you take the ?nigger" out of my speech, there's nothing but froth i left, but I found out today that if you take the corkscrew out of his pocket, he has no brains left." Judge Jones, the governor said, had not told him. because he was afraid "Gonzales" would take him out and spank him, whether or not be would order out militia to defend a negro who laid his hands on a white woman." Sarcastic on Grace. Sarcastically referring to the sup port of Judge Jones' candidacy bj Mayor Grace, of Charleston, Governor Dlease lapsed into a parody: "Amaslng Grace, how sweet Die sound 'Tis music around on Jones' ground.'' Replying to Judge Jones' declara tion that specified porsons, formerly legislators from this county, had vot ed with Judge Jones on the separate coach bill, the speaker said that all of these were dead bill one. Stanyarne Wilson. "And he." said the governor, "is quietly sleeping in political pri vate life. I'm satisfied if he were here he would say he was sorry he voted that way." The governor declared that the men who earned their bread by the sweat of their brows would re-elect him, because he was the one governor whom the newnpapers could not con trol. Long continued npplauso broke out as the governor retired. His speech was the last of the day. Lyon Gives Sensation. Fr?ser Lyon, attorney general, pro vided the sensation of the day this afternon when he anonuneed. In the course of the stn4e campaign meeting, that helntended to swear out a war rant shortly for the arrest of his op ponent, Harnard B. Evans, under the criminal statute regarding slander and libel which was enacted at the last session of the general assembly. This declaration followed the rep etition In Evans' nddress from the stand of highly scandalous charges against. Mr. L-yon and various other persons, which Evans has been mak ing at other meetings during the campaign. Mr. Lyon said he would not trouble himself today to make more than a general denial of Evans1 mlsstatements. but he had asked friends on the stnnd to note Evans' utterances for future use, and pur posed to ascertain, by a test of bis case, whether such language could lawfully be used on the stump, or elsewhere. Mr. Lyon did not say when prosecution would be commenced. The case will be brought at Spartan* burg. Among the portions of E vans' speech here which may figure in the promised prosectuion are the follow ing: **lf Lyon Can I'roto.'1 "If he (Lyon) can prove, by afnda vit, original record, word of mouth or any other means, that a dollar has been put into the pocket of George L. Salter by others than Frank & Son, of Augusta, Qa., US. IL Rombert, .1. Frank Lyon or anybody else to the contrary, notwithstanding) 1 will withdraw from this race. 1 had a transaction with a man In Saluda who tried to cheat me out of my fee, and 1 Blglicd that Chech as agent and at torney in fact." This was in answer to allegations by Mr. Lyon, supported by certain documentary evidence, that Kvans retained the proceeds of it Check which had been sent by Frank & Soil, money lenders of Augusta, to George L. Salter. of Saluda, through Kvans, and which Evans endorsed and cash ed without authority; the amount be ing made good by 13. it. Evans' broth er, .loin) Gary Evans, of Spartanburg, after B. it. Kvans had been threaten ed With criminal prosecution. Kvans today displayed an application made by one George L. Snltur to Prank Son for a loan oT $150 O ncet'taln land in Saluda county. The application designated Evans as "agent and at torney in fact for Sailer." The check In question was endorsed, it is said. "It. it. Kvans. attorney in fact." Other Sensational Statements. Other statements made by Itaruard ' Kvans today were such as this: I went to the town of Saluda and branded a thieving sheriff as an in famous thief, a liar and a tlcbttticher of women, and I branded hint lie cause he stole my own receipt from my olllce. Yet your attorney gotlCinl lias the temerity to present a certifi cate from Saluda that It. It. Kvans is not an honest man, and those men who signed it are composed of blind tigers, thieves, incendiaries and de bauchees of women; especially two of them, I-:. \V. Abies and It. W. Crouch, wlio lias the temerity to run for the sente today. II the Aetna \ Hartford lire insurance companies did their duty, they would be behind the bars as incendiaries. One was cilllgllt in the act and compromised. The other destroyed the libraries of all the attorneys of Saluda. Ellgene \V. Abies is lower than that." Here followed an unprintable charge against Mr. Abies. Itefcrs to Rev. ItutrtrotL Evans said, regarding Iiis most se rious charge against Mr. Aide, that the facts were known to Rov. W. Bltg gott, of Ionian. "If he doesn't prove it." he said, "bring him to Kvans. and though lie lie a preacher, I will de nounce him as a falsifier." "What is the record of your attor ney general?" he asked, and proceed ed to say hat out of the more than $1,365,000 assets of the state dispen sary less than $250,000 was realized, though every dollar misspent in wind ing up the dispensary was taken from the school children, "and the man who would rob a. child is the lowest creature that walks the earth." Heaping Cliurfcs Cpon Lyon. "What else has lie done as regards your sinking fund?" said Kvans. The speaker referred to a recent resolu tion passed by the sinking fund com* mission, authorizing employment of counsel in New York, Chicago or Bal timore to aid in refunding $5,500,000 of slate bonds next year, and said: "Did you ever hoar of a more out rageous scheme to dobnuclt the people in your life?" Again, still referring to Mr. Lyon Kvans said: "He paid B. I. Abltoy $50,000 for signing a receipt for $100. oon of your Common school money." Tribute to .Limes II. Carlisle. Mr. Lyon paid mnaglilflccnl tribute to tho late .lames II. Carlisle, presi dent of Wofford college, who was ins preceptor for four years and to whom lie ascribed much in his nature that favored law-loving, law-abiding and decency. Otherwise Mr. Lyon's ad dress yesterday was very much like some of his campaign speeches in other eounties. though he did not mention his opponents and spoke mostly of his own record. It was in the course of a categorical reply to the speeeii of Barnard Evans that he announced his intention of prosecut ing Kvans for slander. T. II. Pooples and .1. It. Harle, also candidates for attorney general, made substantially their usual speeches. There was considerable applause for Mr. Peoples. The statute under which Mr. Lyon's case against Evans will he brought is as follows: "Acte N. 142, Section I. Be it on aetod by the general assembly of the state of South Carolina: Any person who shall with malicious intent origi nate, utter or circulate or publish any false statement or matter concerning another the effect of which shall tend to injure such person in his or her character or reputation shall be deem ed gnil'y of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by line not exceeding $r>,non or by Imprison ment for a term not exceeding one year, or by both line and imprison ment in the discretion of the court."
