Mr. Tlllman's opinion of Judge Jones Is a matter of record. "I believe he would make a good governor," he BP.id, "for he Is eminently qualified." Ho gives his belief and the basis for it. Will he say as much for Governor Blease? He will not. Urged to do so by the gov ernor's friends, "bombarded" by thern "with telegrams and letters," to quote hlB own words, what Is his response? A column statement in which he point edly omits to say one word in the slightest degree commendatory of Gov ernor Bleuse and his administration, but Instead expresses his deep mortifi cation for South Carolina that "instead of our candidates discussing great pub lic questions and teaching the people, the meetings have been little else than vulgar quarrelling matches, In which blackguardism, vulgarity, obscenity and abuse, almost without limit, and all manner of filthy speeches have been allowed to predominate." The description of the tenor of the cam paign meetings is a true one, vigorous ly put, yet not overdrawn. But who Is responsible? Not Judge Jones, certain ly. Has Judge Jones at any time been guilty of vulgarity? Has he ever been obscene? Has he uttered one Illthy sen tence, to say nothing of a filthy [speech? Senator Tlllman knows that he has not. What says the Senator? "He would make a good governor, for he Is eminently qualified." Will Sen ator Tlllman say that about Governor Blease after Blease's record of the I last two years and after his speeches j and writings during the present cam paign? No. He has not done so. Ho cannot do so. It Is not true.?News & Courier. SUSPENDED OLD SOLDI Kit. Inmate of 01<1 Soldiers Home Wins Enmity of Chairman of Hoard, Ap pointee of Qot. lllense. Columbia, S. C, Aug. 8?Samuel F.

Mr. Massey suvB mat Ue wtfs no: cited to appear before any men.her of the board ami t.iat only two members of the board were p.ie.-eni, Mr. Richard son and Dr. F. W. P. Butler. He received the following communi cation : "Columbia, S. C, August 7, 1912. "J. P. Caldwell, Superintendent Con federate Infirmary. "Sir: You are hereby ordered to suspend Samuel F. Massey, an inmate of the Confederate Infirmary for 30 days, Charges: insubordination, breach of rules, drunkenness and insulting a member of the hoard of commission ers. "Signed H. W.

In obe dience to the above order you are hereby suspended from the Confed erate Iafirmnry for the space of 30 days. 'Signed J. P. Caldwell, Commandant." When the Trouble lb-nan. The trouble ending in the suspension of Massey bad its beginning when Major Richardson, chairman of the board of commissioners and a salaried officer, appointee of Gov. Blease, told Edward J. ..'ones, a Confederate vet eran, but not an Inmate of the Sol diers' home, that he could not hold his job as hospital steward at the home, if he did not bestir himself in behalf of Rlease. Massey heard of the threat, and understood that it applied to all employes whether in mates of the home or not, and so re ported it. Later, Maj. Richardson, in a talk at the home, denied that he referred to all employes. Mr. Massey was not then allowed a hearing, and made a statement In the newspapers. He did not regard Maj. Richardson's admonition not to use his name, and his suspension is the final result. Massey's Record as Veteran. Mr. Massey was a member of Co. A. Second battalion, cavalry, under Capt. Jas. P. Adams of this county. He was afterwards in Co. IL, Fourth South Carolina cavalry, commanded by Col. Rutledge, and was under Capt. J. C. Foster.

Come all you fellows that want to laugh, For here Is a story by a dlstograph. Same J. Nicholls was a lawyer's name, In the Finch Hotel he won his fame Mr, Porter called Nicholls up over the phone, Said, "Come to the Finch, and to my room; I want a pardon for that Johnson man, Who cracked a safe and was put In the Penn." Oh, Sam J. Nichols mounted up the stairway, Sam J. Nicholls, a petition in his hand; Oh, Sam J. Nichols mounted up the stairway, Thirty thousand dollars was his de mand. Then he took a drink, tho't he'd have ? some fun. Rut tho old dictagraph began to run; Mr. S. N. Porter began to kick at the price. Rut Mr. Nicholls thought it very nice. Oh, Mr. Porter you need not stare, For Blease and Sims must have their share; We are all together, and In the same boat, But I'm the man that's making it float. Oh, Sam J. Nicholls tho't he was a schemlng, Sam J. Nicholls, Porter's friend in deed ; Sam J. Nicholls was only dreaming, He was talking to Detective E. S. Reed. Said Porter to Nicholls, "That's en tirely too much. Thirty thousand dollars, I'll do no such; Altho said party to a fortune is an heir, I'm not as ? *y as that to scare." Said Nicholls porter, "Just give me a chance, For I'm the man that makes Blease dance. Mr. Sims ten thousand, and Blease the same, Now can't you see I'm playing a great game?" Oh, Sam J. Nicholls said Blease would be elected, Sam J. Nicholls, for the next two years; Oh. Sam J. Nicholls, said Blease'd go to the senate. And that he'd be governor, he had no fear. At last he came down to fifteen thou sand bones, Said this would help Mr. Blease de feat Jones. And on this price they finally agreed, Mr. Nicholls not knowing that Por ter was Reed. He nearly got the pardon thru' all o. k? But soon found out that to his dis may, Mr. Porter was not the man he had thought. Then he said to himself, "Well, I'm caught;" Oh, Sam J. Nicholls, went to Colum bia, Sam J. Nicholls, on the witness stand: Oh, Sam J. Nicholls made this grave statement: "I was drunk on liquor of a nlco Scotch brand." Mr. T. B. Felder, an Atlanta attorney Was the man that gave Reed the pardon money; For he knew Blease and Nicholls could not laugh When they heard -this story thru' the dictagraph. Now Mr. Nicholls, as he's In a hole, fJo?s around speaking for his old friend Cole; Wnen be comes to our town with his walls and moans He'll And most of us here for Ira B. Jones. Oh, Sam J. Nicholls keeps running around. Bam J. Nicholls, of Ms time takeB half; Oh. Sam J. Nicholls has run aground, For he has been recorded by thp dictagraph.
