It in right that the people of South Carolina should know the fact about the candidates In the race for gover nor before the 27th. of August becauso no one cun vote properly unless he votes Intelligently and to vote Intelli gently one must know the record of the candidates. This article Is writ tun to let the people know more about Ira B. Jones. Few people know tbut Judge Jones Is u man of the people. He is proud of the fact that In Newbery County, where he was born, there are still people living who remember that his faihei ?vut> & respected carpenter and his mother assisted her husband in the support of the fumlly by sewing for the neighbors. As Student and Young Luwyer. Almost from childhood Ira B. [ Jones looked at lifo seriously. His schoolmates remember that often in the afternoon when they were at play be would go in early to study for bis classes the next day, and they testify | to the fact that he gave early prom ise of becoming an upright man and a useful citizen. By careful study and by taking ad vantage of such meager opportuni ties as were offered, he obtained a fair education. Schools were not then what they are now and that la probably the reason why Judge Jones remembering his own difficulties and wishing to smooth the road for other poor boys, declared that as governor "The Improvement and development of the common schools shall have my keen interest and hearty support." It would he easy to tell and might be interesting to hear how young Jones having gotten an education moved to Lancaster county and began the practice of law. How clients came slowly at first and how later having inspired the confidence of the people In his home town he acquired a large ami paying practice. What we are chiefly interested in, howevr, is his lollticul career. As Legislator. In 1890 Ira B. Jones was elected to the legislature from Lancastercounty and it is evident that he was widely known and that his ability had been recognized, for he was at once made chairman of the ways and means com mittee of the bouse and was later elected Its speaker. Those were stir ring times, for the great reform move ment had just swept over South Caro lina and party spirit ran high. Sen ator Tlllman, then governor, was In stituting inatty needed reforms and Judge Jones, as speaker of the house, did efficient service. Be it said to his credit, however, that although the whole state was aroused by political animosities, Judge Jones so conduct ed himself as to receive the hearty applause of frleilds and at the same time, by his fairness, be won the re spect and confidence of those who had been his political opponents. As Judge. It came, therefore, as a natural re ward for service that in 180G be was elected associate justice of the high est court in the state. It may be men tioned in passing that bis present op ponent lu the race for governor sec onded his nomination and voted for htm for associate justice. Having served twelve years as associate Jus tice, in 1909, upon the retirement of Chief Justice Pope, Judge Jones was elevated to the position of chief jus tice, which is the highest judicial po sition In the gift of the state. It may be truthfully said that no Judge In South Carolina In many years has enjoyed greater reputation both [for ability and honesty than Ira B. Jones. The same industry and con scientious performance of duty which wa? DOtlce&ble in him as a younK man have characterized his work as a Judge. He has been the recipient of honors from his fellow men .and the emolu ments of office, but the satisfaction of a hard day's work well done has ever been his best reward. Amont; the charges hurled at Judge Jones by bis political opponent Is that he has leaned toward corporations. Sufllce It to say that as attorney he never represented a corporation and as a Judge he repeatedly upheld largo verdicts against the corporations. In the case of Rhodes against the Gran by Cotton Mills of Columbia, he up held a verdict for $8,000.00 In favor of Rhodes on the ground that there was evidence that he had been unjustly discharged and blacklisted by the cot ton mills. The verdict which he sus tained against the railroads would run up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, there being one verdict against the Southern Rail ray Company for $25,000 and many others for large amounts. He has never leaned either toward or against corporations, but his de cisions and rulings have been those of what every judge sould be?just and fair to all. Charges Unjust. As Citizen, Lawyer, Legislator, Judge and Chief of Justice, Ira. B. Jones has "Made Good." He has llvod an upright moral life; is a consclen clous member of the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church, Is tem perate in his habits, and has measur ed up to all the requirements of a true and useful man. It should be remem bered that this man who is now be fore the people in the race for Gov ernor has never in his life been charg ed with anything unbecoming the highest and best citizen until his op ponent brought charges against him. The absurdity of these charges can best be shown by the fact that Cole L. Blcase himself voted for Judge Jones for United States Senator in 1909 with such men as Frank B, Gary, LeGrand Walker, J. L. Coker and oth er high men. To try to make South Carolinians believe that this man who has been their judge believes In so ciel equality between the races Is so evidently a trick to catch votes as to need no exposure. Ira B. Jones is no political experi ment, and as a governor, he may be counted on to give the people the same honest, faithful and Intelligent ser vice which has always characterized his work in their behalf.
