In 1886, Judge Gary was elected to represent Edgefield county in the State Legislature. He was twice re-elected, acting upon many important committees, including the Judiciary, of which he was chairman during his third term. In 1892 he was elected as one of South Carolina's delegates at large to the National Democratic convention,and cast his vote for the Democratic presidential nominee. In 1892 he was elected to the Judgeship of the 5th judicial circuit of this State, in which capacity he has served since that date.

When H C Folk, the Bamberg | county chairman, introduced Gov Blease Saturday, he said he had been requested to read the follow- j ing telegram which was addressed to the chief executive by Mr Folk , during the last Legislature and ask ed the Governor to reply to it: "Cole L Blease, Governor, "Columbia. S C. "In the primary you and I swore to support the nominees of the party. I supported you as the nomi nee for Governor. Are you supporting me as the nominee forj Master? If not why not? "H C Folk." The county chairman then read the following telegram of Mr Folk's i propounding with the request that the Governor reply: "Is a man who violates his oath at the ballot box a fit person to send i fVia TTnito^ Qonflfp''" LU tUV WlitVVU (yTVMWW v/VtJMW . Both telegram and question were, written on a small piece of yellow paper, which Mr Folk handed to Gov Blease when the county chairman had finished reading them. With a half smile on his face the Chief Executive deliberately tore the piece of paper in small bits, spat on them twice, dashed them to the floor and wiped his foot on them. This ended the incident. H C Folk was elected Master of Bamberg county, but the Governor for reasons of his own, sent the name of J S J Faust, of Denmark, to the State Senate for the position. The Senate refused to confirm the recommendation, and Mr Folk is now "hold over" master for Bamberg county.

John G Richards, According to The Times, is Exciting Factional Feeling A Review ol the Race for the fliiiionnnpchin hi/ flneonno TitnPS I U I VOI UUI OIII|f UJ 1 1U1 uuuw EIIUUU , I fcditor. (From The Florence Times. June 26. 1914). i Interest was evidently coneentra- i ted at the Florence meeting of the State campaign of the 24th upon the Gubernatorial candidates. The big four, as they have been called, Manning, Clinkscales, MeDdel Smith and Richards, certainly occupied the center of the stage so far as interest was concerned. We would say that the reception accorded Prof Clinkscales, suffered a partial collapse before his address was completed. His honesty was perfectly manifest, but there was apparent a lack of statesmanship in the measures he presented, or the issues which he advocated, which was disappointing. Then there was also a want of dignity in his attitude and manner which distinctly chilled his hearers ouiflonlk' pvnppf-prt sompthintr t better. J Mr Mendel Smith is one of the best speakers in the campaign and his discussion showed a mental poise and precision and the points emphasized in his address showed an appreciation of the needs of the State to a degree which unquestionably gained strength for him in Florence, where, before, he has been little known. Mr Richards showed a desire to excite factional feeling and class distinctions which fell far short of appealing to the conservative thought of the audience which gathered in the court house. The readiness of Mr Richards to swap horses; to change his course to catch the ripple of any breeze which might bear the \ ballots?if a mixed metaphor may be used?his swift change from dispensary championship to prohibitionist and then to local option and then from the anti to the pro Blease column, had apparently sunk into the consciousness of the Florence auditors and Mr Richards failed signally to "get it over." ** ?? i a. ii n Mr Manning, true 10 me conndence which his friends have placed in him, made a dignified and earnest talk on the issues. His was the last speech and people were tired and worn out with the heat, but if we are any judge of sentiment of an audience, no one of the speakers made such a favorable impressi9n as the Sumter man. His appeal was to the sane side of politics; to the issues that affect the welfare of the State and her people. There were no fights of oratory, but a well expressed, clignified and earnest appeal to the patriotism of his hearers. The response was genuine and earnest. If, as we say, we are any judge of the impressions made upon the Florence audience, we should say that Manning made the deepest impression of the day. He has strengthened himself in Florence and if his speech was a fair sample of his performance elsewhere in the campaign, we should be inclined to believe that his chances are the best of the crowd of antis to go into the second primary. adv It To Club Secretaries and Enrolling Officers: Notice is hereby given that the rules adopted by the recent State Democratic convention provide that "each applicant for enrollment shall in person write upon the club roll his FULL NAME."
