Whatever you do, 1 will be governor anyway for September, October, No* vember and December ftnd 21 days In January, if you want government by Injunction and a metropolitan po? les force, you vote for Ira B, Jones, and I'll give it to you " With this audavious threat Gov. Bleaae closed his huig- awaited address at the State campaign meeting held hare tonight, an address in Which he Intim tted that the recent break between him and Jno. P Grace, mayor of Charleston, began when he refused to commission 1 as notary public a negro, S W. Ben- 1 nett, whom the mayor had recom mended. He said further, with ref? erence to charges voiced hy the may? or that graft collected in Charleston had been traced to the office of the g vernor. "No gentleman would ln ISinuate that i had ever received any I ift and any man who says 1 did 1.- a malicious character thief and a c vardly liar." The governor also di dared his intention of standing by 1 njam'n 11. Stothart. chief of the c nitabulary In Charleston, against whom graft charges were recently brought before u legislative investiga? tion committee. Mo;e than 1,200 persons, no wo? men being Included, ware assembled in Hibernian hall when the candi? dates for governor were introduced. These .-poke as usual. The meeting opened at 5 o'clock In the afternoon and continued until all of the candi? dates in the party had been heard. It was an attentive audience, but one quick to express approval or dis? approval. Quick also to laugh as some of the speakers learned to their discomfiture, when a point put for? ward in ail seriousness tickled, for some reason the risibilities of the J crowd* Tremendous demonstrations were given In hoinu of both the leading Icandidates for governor, hut it ^i> peared that applause for Judge Jonei came more generally from over the house and men long acquainted with Char!".-'on a?ulien<os <aid the ma? jority opinion among those present was in favor of Joneg as against uiea.-e. Undeniably, however, the j volume 'i sound was greater in the Ipro-Blease outbreaks, as it usually i<. I Hissing w,s more freely resorted to here than elsewhere on the campaign, [as an expression of disapproval and ! Gov. Bleage was the target of a good 'deal of It. Excellent order prevailed. An extraordinary number of police j men in uniform was distributed about I the hall and these were prompt In suppressing demonstrations which they doomed improper. An admoni Itory wave of the hand proved all ? ii .t was necessary In every case. Judge- Joneg devoted some portion of his time to a reply tu detail to the speech delivered at Blshopvllle by Gov. Bleaae. The governor made his usual de? claration regarding negro* i, lynching and other matters, but g>?\' his atten? tion principally to points of local in? terest in Charleaton. Some of his Imost Interesting statements were I made In response to q*,?*stions from the door, "What about beer?" asked a voice I in the audience. "You bring mo glass of it up here and i uan i;'ik ?haut it better," s.iui the governor. ? what about racing;?" was another quest Ion. "Do as you did this year," retorted Gov. Bleaae. "Act like men and do a> you pleas, '' This question and its answer related to the passuge by the ast legislature of an act outlawing metropolitan racing In South Caro II, i from July I, 1912. <h>\.

Such an organisation ha.s been leeded in Sumter for some time and nany of the insurance men, realizing this need, have gotten together on the proposition and succeeded in forming the company. The new en? terprise will be strictly an "at home" affair, for the stock has been pledged by local business men and the com? pany will start out with the idea of getiing home busine.-s tirst with a view of spreading out as the business of the company grows and as condi Uotvs demand. Some of those who are interested in the proposed corpora? tion are: Messrs. R. 1. Manning. C. G. Rowland, x, O'Donnell, GL A. Lern mon, W. B, Wilson D. D. Moise, u. J. darby. I C StTS ISS, F. Moses.
