slaught of ?c-teidny made upon Iiiin
by Oov. Iti,. is,., was the feiture of
the State ??impalgn meeting at l?ar
Hngton today
The ringing speech of the Govern?
or in the fur of known opposition,
which nt i??? ?'cni/.?? 11 uhi pontanted In
fine style, was scarcely b-ss striking.
In fact, the joint debate was a politi?
cal battle of no mean significance, it
was noticeable that Judge Jones not
only d? f.SJsiod his own record, which
wn s.. v ifOVOnnly attack.-ii ...stetduy
at RIshopN ill*, by the Governor, but
he carried the tight into Hlease's
camp and brought t?. the attention of
the people ggSJM of his acts not
km.wn font I I IK
The upshot of the who!,- matter is
that there Is now waging a ferrllfle
battle between two contestants, the
r*dnt of vantage most sough' being
the attacking side, each seeking to
svold defensive attacks.
To those U ho heard the speeches
yesterday and today It was apparent
th it Ideas attack acte?! as a
mighty spur la Judge Joins. afOUSed
his fighting l-lood und was the am?>
of his <|ea\. ling an unusually rigor?
ou? sp?*ech. t >n the other hand. Gov?
ernor I'.len. won the plaudits of ?-v. n
some of his enemies by the maateeful
presentatl?-n <?f his came today. lie
himself stated that he was some?
what surprised at the hearing he
received.
Taking up In detail tin- cnargi
frrred against Itim. Judge J??n?'S
answered them In clear cut style and
with effective argument. Not mere?
ly this; he then turned some of the
Oov.-rn u own arraignment back
against his eeeweer, particularly in
> tree railroad passes.
I These u.re ol?l ISJSjMlg 11 \ t bnttsfi
g| the early sOs brought again Into
vew by Governor Hlease in his
Blshopvllle speech.
A matter of no small significance,
and gne that appeared t-? impress the
audience, was a move made by At?

Regarding hu tupporl of a divorce

?aid: "\ did believe then, and do
now, that divorce, for adultry alone,

t>\ the Governor ai favoring Ihe same

blacks, a bill providing for separate
? ? a< hes wai Introduced In the Legis?
lature In i >:?-'. This, Judge Jone*
?tated r".ii\ he kn.'\v to bo uncon?
stitutional, That was prior to the
Constitutional convention of lSgS,
"That bill, as presented," said the
speak*: i. "could not have it.i the
u 111 ol the Courti live minutes, I am
heartily In f;?\?>r ol separate coaches
for negroes, of course, and it is mere

magogue who over ruled In Houth

my whole life, th.- Hves of my whole

Turning his guns upon ihe record
? a' Governor lliease, Judge Jonea said:
"V? ii don't have to go back lnt?i an?
cient history to Und vulnerable points
in this man*t record* Hlease vetoed
ihi bin providing an Investigation of

thus holding agalnat those honorable

the speaker, "was vet.I by him and

The speaker then charged t ti.?t ihe
Governor had crippled th? work of
th, Ht it.ird of he ilth by not nl?
lowing in ipproprlatlon of Mi 1*3, to
??over ;i defti t in ih< funds for

Judge Jones merely mentioned the

preme Court had not reverted Itself
ii; thi.- (Mud tli.it Blouse's charge was
reflection on Justice Woods, Judge
Junes \\ us given rousing cheers and
heart) handclaps he concluded.
Mingled With the applause with
w ich Governor Blouse wai received
there were a feu hisses. "I am
surprised t?> hear hisses front h Par
llnston audience," said the Governor,
w in at once struck a defiant attitude,
proclaiming Independence ami stating
that he expected opposition here, lb 1
said he knew that "there are men in
this audience who would not vote for
me i: their soil Id gettlnn in Heaven i
depended on it.
Tba spoakei explained that he had
mn refused i?? aid the work of the
State board of health by declining t<? i
approve an appropriation hut he
centei ded that deficits should he ;
mad,- up out of the $15,000contin?
gent fund.
Deny'-ng that he had insulted Jus?
tice Woods, thi- Governor read from bis;
"book ??f pardons" extracts from his
Wash Hunter case, in which Justice
Woods was mentioned. as a distin?
guished, high-toned, Christian *-ren- |
tleman. "Yes, i pardoned Wash 1
'hinter, and I'm going t?> pi rdon
some more." he shouted, when some
one in Ihe audience taunted him on
hi- record.
One man asked him the question a
little later: "Wore you under no
personal obligation t" Wash Hun?
ter?"
"Vo" replied the Governor, "and
hs lias not even paid my attorney's
fee yet, They have tied up the prop?
erty in bankruptcy pro?.dings ami
i haven't get my money,"
Refei ing to .lud'-;?' Jone's explan?
ation of th?- unconstitutionally ??f the
"Jim Crow" law as Rral prepared.
Governor Hlease said: "Constitu?
tional or not unconstitutional, i never
expect to \<>t?- for white l.pie and
free niggers riding in the game, coach?
es.
a- to thi gi neral scope of his chnrg
made at Blshopvllle yesterday,
Governor Hlease -aid h?- would sub?
mit it to any three men. his bitterest
enemies, if nee< isary, ami if there Ii
an untrue charge In it he will quit
i!e- ran at once, resign his office,
!? re th country and never return.
'iin- Governor Is confident of his
election, stating today that he would
defeat Judge Jones by 20,000 ma?
jority, in addition, he made the offer
that if Judge Jones carried Xewberry
county ami is elected, he will present
him with tin- finest Prince Albert t??
b,. had oti the day .if his Inaugura?
tion.
First mention <>f special Judges was
made today, when the Governor said:
"lie (Judge Join-si would n?.t be
running for Governor today if i had
bowed t?> ins whims in the appoint?
ment of special Judge.-."
Defending ids character ac unsi at?
tacks u] on his honesty, Governor
Blease declared that If the affidavit of
any one reputable man could be ob?
tained showing that he had received,
as a man and s lawyer, n single ?bil?
iar, except that earned honestly, he
would g< t out of the race and leave
the state.

Anderson. June 19.?It has been
known here for some time that ser
i?iu< difference! had arisen between
Governor Blease and v. B. Cheshire,
editor of the Anderson Intelligencer,
and also a member of the Governor's
staff, and which have resulted in
Cheshire resigning that position. The
trouble arose from the Muldrow mat
ter, in which Cheshire was assaulted
in his own office by Muldrow. Ches?
hire demanded the removal ?>f Mul?
drow. who is a magistral.', ami also
of his constable, who was near by
when the assault took place.
The following is Cheshire's letter
of resignation to the G<jvernor:
"June 17, 1912.
"Governor Cole L. Blease, Colum?
bia, S. C.?>ir: I hereby tender my
resignation as lieutenant colonel on
your staff. This decision "n my part
is absolutely final. Twice before I
have sent in my ?estgnatlon and the
same was not accepted by you. How
ever, whether my resignation is form?
ally accepted by you or not this time.
I consider that I have resigned from
your staff.
??My decision was reached after I
had been assured that you sent
copies "f the last letter you wrote mo,
I
with regard t<? my former letter of
I
resignation, to my enemies here, the
very men who were affected by the
matters referred to iti my and your
letters. I did not mind any one see?
ing a copy ''f the letter I had here,
but your action in sending copies to
my bitter enejnles in this city, as if
to ridicule ni" to them met with my
disapproval and I cannot consistently
remain a member "t your personal
staff in the circumstances.
" If it win be of any interest to you.
I beg t?? say that the future attitude
?f this paper will bo one of giving no
man any special showing. We will
give all a fair, square deal and the
public will be Informed upon both
sid?s of every public question. This
will be our attitude towards the Gub?
ernatorial race. You are at liberty
to give out any of my letters with re?
gard to these matters to the pr?>ss,
Very truly.
