Blease Claimed that a Part of the Jones Crowd was Mak ing the Kacket and Said He Wonld not Speak Either. Anderson, Aug. 17.?The greatest howling down yet accorded a speaker in the present political campaign was that given Judge Jones today by An derson county voters, or an element of thorn. Judge Jones made four sepa rate efforts to begin his speech but none was of any avail. Governor Blease, Acting County Chairman S. D. Pearman and "Citi zen" Josh Ashley all made efforts to quiet the crowd, but the crowd would not be qluetded. A well groomed citi zen 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. Blease Didn't Speak. But neither did Governor Blease de liver his speech, for he said unless the crowd would hear Judge Jones he would not talk. The governor did . say a few words and took a hand pri mary thus showing that a large part of those who put up their hands were in that section of the crowd from whence had come the howling. The meeting was adjourned, the day's event breaking up in, consternation. Pandemonium prevailed for a while and the crowd so packed the speak ers' stand that the stand came near collapsing. Hand Primary a Failure. About 3,000 people heard the can didates and it was evident that the Blease sentiment was strong though when the hand primary was taken less than half the hands went up. There was n large part of the crowd which could not hear the governor call for tht "vote" so great was the conster nation. Good order had been main tained during the meeting up until the introduction of .fudge Jones. Judge Jones was announced and the crowd began its racket. There was a continual uproar for many minutes and Judge Jones folded his arms, placed his knee upon the railing in front of him and waited. The chair man remonstrated . with the howlers, but could not quiet them. Governor Blease rose to his feet. A louder shout went up and then lulled. The governor asked the crowd to hear the speaker respectfully and said that he would not speak unless udge Jones was given a hearing. Blense's C .arge. "You Jones men up in the trees and a few scattered around are hol lering for Jones to make It appear he was howled down and to arouse sympathy for him," said the governor and pointed to several men in a tree 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 the noise was renewed more loudly, and he sat down. Four Attempts. Pour times did he start to talk and as many times sat down without hav ing been given a respectful hearing. Josh Ashley made a) ?? opeal to the crowd, adding: "You won't hear narry one If you don't hear Jones. Be quiet fellows. * But this likewise was in vain. The mayor of the city, L. G. Holle man, also made an attempt to quiet the crowd, but bis effort likewise failed. Governor Blease was heard to tell Judge Jones that he thought both factions were making the noise, and at one time the governor and Judge Jones hud a word tilt as to the element of the crowd that was creat ing the disorder.. A policeman stepped up, but the candidates had no Intentions;' of an en counter. Governor Blease tured to the newspaper correspondents- and de manded that they tell the truth Mn their reports as to the makers of the dis CAMPAIGN PARTIES ON THE HOME STRETCH Primary Election Only Six Days Off.

Mac Roper CHILDREINS DAY AT MOUNT PLEASANT Beautiful i.m i rises and Pleasant In termingling Made a Day of Pleasant Memories. Mountville, Aug. 19,?Last Satur dayday was a great day for the Mt. Pleasant Sunday School. It was their first Children's Day. Especially was it a delightful occasion for the fifty odd children who seemed so happy in the Interesting and instructive exer cises rendered. Mt. Pleasant church, situated near Cold Point, Is one of the old churches of the I^aurens As sociation and has an interesting his tory of which the older membership love to speak. Surh names as Pinson, Henderson, Fowler, M'oore, Madden and many others suggest the great work and progress of the church in antcbelllm times, and even since the war, when Uncle Toliver Robertson and other noted divines dispensed the Word of Truth with power and tell ing effect. It was In that period of the church history that, during a re vival meeting, ninety-nine persons were saved and baptized into the kingdom of Christ. By 10 o'clock Saturday morning sev eral hundred people had gathered for the day's exercises. Pastor J. A. Martin who was to conduct the intro ductory service wan prevented from attending and W, 1'. Culbertson was asked to perform that duty. Then came the revular program of the day which consisted of beautiful songs, appropriate recitations, dialogues, pantomines, etc. To say that these exercises were a complete success is but stating a simple truth. There was not a mistake in the whole program of two hours length. Every one of the fifty children, from the little tots to the grown up young people, did their part well and won credit, not only to themself but to the Indies who had charge of their training, as well. The character and success of these exercises by the children are bound to give Inspiration and enthusiasm to the Sunday school work at Mt. Pleas ant. The large audience which filled the spacious church building were delightfully entertained throughout the morning exercises. When the hour of noon came all re paired to the shades of the giant oaks Where a bountiful dinner was spread for which the good ladies of that sec tion arc deservedly noted. It goes without saying that everyone enjoyed this delicious repast and an hour's so cial function with friends. In the afternoon a memorial sor tation and song in honor of the Con federate dead whose remains lie burled in the cemetery at that place. After some introductory songs, Mrs. Mollie Pinson gave a very appropriate reci tation and 90ng In hoor of the Con federate cause, and Introduced the speaker of the occasion, Hon. R. A. Cooper. Mr. Cooper spoke briefly but to the point, commending and Justify ing the South in her stand for rigbt and the constitution. He recalled some incidents of the war Illustrating the loyalty and patriotism of the southern people. His address was very much enjoyed by the audience. Veteran Wade H. Pinson called the roll of thirty-three Confederate soldiers, whose remains He In the Mt. Pleasant cemetery. A procession of old soldiers and children was then formed at the door and advanced to the cemetery where the children placed their con tribution of flowers upon the grftve* of the dead as a token of honor to CHICORA TRUSTEES TO MEET WEDNESDAY The Question of the Removal of the College to Laurens (o be Gone over Again. The Greenville Daily Piedmont car ried the following story Thursday af ternoon : "A meeting of the Board of Trus tees of Chlcora College has been called for Wednesday night, August 28th, at which time the trustees will consider the reply of citizens of Laurens to the board refusing to accept the action of the Hoard in deciding to let the college remain In Greenville. The meeting has been called at the request of Dr. W. H. Mc Pheeters of Columbia, Rev. .1. M. Hol llday of Wlnnsboro and Rev. .1. L. Mc Lees of Orangeburg. The trustees will most likely meet at the college. "The entire question of the proposed removal of the college to Laurens has been fully discussed through the me dium of the press and needs little rep Ititlon at this time. After the trustees mot here on .hilly 19th at the Invita tion of the Hoard of Trade and defi nitely decided not to move the college to Laurens a communication was ad dressed to a committee of I.aureus cit izens Informing them of the Hoard's action. The Laurens citizens then prepared a lengthly statement cover ing tlu? entire matter and declined to release the Hoard of Trustees from the proposition made them relative to the removal of the college. This commun ication which was several columns in length was published in full in The Dally Piedmont. "It is probable that the entire mat ter will again be threshed out at the meeting of the trustees." Proper steps will be taken to have Laurens represented at this meeting. A Correction. The Advertiser was requested by Mr. Geo. A. Hrowning, Jr., and au thorized by Mr. I-:. R. Aycock, candi dates for the house of representative, to make a correction in regard to the campaign story of last week. It will be remembered that Mr. Aycock was credited will? calling Mr. Hrowning a lie. It appears that while Mr. Aycock did use that word, he did not apply it to Mr. Hrowning. The Advertiser Is glad to make the correction. Mr. Browning and Mr. Aycock. as stated at the time, though they had a rather heated controversy, met after the meeting and now are on the best of terms. their patriotic and heroic deeds. Let us say in conclusion that during many future years this occasion will linger as a pleasant memory and serve as a happy Inspiration In the children and people of Mt. Pleasant. Visitor. ? ?
