CALIlotN COUNTY CITIZENS GIVE CANDIDATES FAIR I*LAY AM) REQUIRE VISITORS - To DO LIKEWISE. No Features Mark Speaking?Aud? ience of 700 Persons Listen Alten lively to Speakers?Intenae Heat Represses Outbreaks. st. Matthew?, July is.?Promptly disclaiming and repudiating visitors from an adjoining county when they began an effort to howl down Judge Jones, an orderly audience of 700 Cal houn citizens today gave fair hearing and close attention to all of the can? didates for state offices, who appeared before them. It was patent to ob? servers that no indifference. but rather a spirit of fair play, with a eenif Of what was due their own self respect, held within reasonable bounds their manifestations of indi? vidual preference. Perhaps because of the attitude of their hearers, and probably because of the oppressive heat also, even those speakers who ordinarily provide whatever sensa? tions develop refrained today from exhibition of their peculiar abilities along this line. For this reason a review of the meeting, satisfactory as the occasion proved to candidates and people, yields little that require* ex? tended comment in newspaper corre? spondence. "Devoid of sensational Incidents." however. Is a description which can never be applied to a South Carolina political meeting ex? cept In a relative sense So far as preference could he gueeatd by open manifestation, the division of sentiment in the crowd, as between Jones and Blease, was close. Bleate men predominated, apparently, among the citizens from the Lexington side, Jones men seem? ing most numerous among the towns? folk and the planters from such sec? tions as the Cameron neighborhood. No mention of the legislative com? mittee hearing In Columbia today was made by any candidate. Gov. Hlease denied in strong terms a report which he said was being cir? culated in this county that ho declar? ed at Barnwell that "judge Jones had Jew bleed In hin; and JeU'fl were no l etter than negroes." The governor said some of his strong? est friends in the State and without, Were Of Jewish blond, and he had 'no criticism Of their race to make; nor did he undertake to say that Judge Jones had Jewish blood in his, vein*. ? " * ? 4 t c - ? * Judge Jones made an earnest and moving appeal for the sinking of fac? tional differences in the face of a critical condition of public affairs in the State. He said this was no day for the good people of South Caro? lina to be fighting among themselves over non-essentials. That which was of most immediate necessity was that the law-regarding, law-loving citizen should get together und "redeem the commonwealth from the shame and humiliation under which she is now suffering." They could not afford, he said, even to appear to indorse law? lessness or to allow frlendl Of law? lessness to hold the reigns of govern? ment, but trust raise Up a raw and general spirit of reverence for their endangered traditions and restore public office to the plane of public tt ist, to be held and administered by liberty-loving and patriotic public servants. QOV, Ideas,- made light of the fact th it Judge Jones cited, In defense of hlj vote on the "Jim ('row*' car liii^ of the nineties that J H, Dukes and other prominent cltlsenx of this sec? tion, some of them now Bleate back era, voted as he did on these meas? ures. He said these men perhaps voted once against separate coaches wliib- .boa s VOted against tlx in throughout b^e years, Judge Jones, the governor assert? ed, would soon be retired to private life, unless Hlease's friend, Magistrat' Pink Caskej of Lancaster, should re? sign. In w hieb case the governor, out of pit} for the old gentlemen," might appoint Judge Jones to lie magistrate, Wile), Was Judge Jo||,s." I'deOSe demanded, "last Sunday evening when I was resting at the mansion?

Murrn> bad Inot d< nh d i single - ta of his ite menu except that he had authorised Evans to proclaim from the stump his opposition to the employment of Felder. Evans also denied today that he had committed forgery in Saluda county. Incidentally he took another shot at the sheriff of that county. B, F. Sample, whom h.? described as "a thieving sheriff." According to Evans, Sheriff Sample stole a rec eipt from Evans1 office ami Umn had Ev? ans Indicted for forging that docu? ment. Sample, he said, stole $?>oo on "ne occasion and when caught re? stored it under threat of prosecution unless restitution were made in 24 hours. Evans said that when the campaign party reached Saluda he would confr'ont Sample with these charges. He Si id also that he had been charged with having killed a nan. The facts were, he alleged, that a friend of his, worried over do? mestic troubles, came to his room and with his pistol committed suicide, that he hin self was tried for mur? der and that he was duly acquit? ted. The attorney general. J. Fraser Lyon, discussed Evans very much -\s usual In a categorical reply. Mr. Lyon in his own speech proper devot? ed little- space, relatively, to his work in conviction w ith thj d.srcn sary, which he said, was the most spectacular, but told of other v/ork he had done which had been given less publicity. Through membvsh! ) In the State board of assessors, he had helped make changes in the rating of corporation property which Increased by $150,000 the receipts of the State in the form of corporation taxes. By inducing the supreme court to re? verse its own decision, in the Brit? ish and American Mortgage company ease, he re-established a certain cor? poration tax which yields the State treasury upwards of $100,000 each yea r. Replying to Evans, Mr. Lyon said, among other things. that he was sorry Evans had seen fit to menti m the Evans-Griffin homicide, which hin sei?' had not brought up. He pre? ferred to draw tite veil of charity o\e? that unfortunate Incident in Evan)' life. Evans, he said, had told a ftlse hood in saying $50.000 was realized from the sale of the old State dis? pensary property in Columbia. The fact was that the dispensary prop? erty remained unsold to this day, be? cause none of the bids yet submitted for It had been as high as the present price fixed, which was $100,000. They gave all the speakers a fair hearing, some oi! them even applaud? ing Fdease or Jones impartially, when either made a point effectively, and they were quick to proclaim. "Those men don't belong here, they came up from Orangeburg," when a knot of disorderly persons in front of the platform showed an inclination to howl down Judge Jones. They cor? dially chorussed "No" when Judge Jone- Inquired whether Calhoun stood for such behavior, and they joined him in a hearty laugh when he made the party then selves admit they were not residents of this county. Qov. Blease dipped into local poli? tics to-lay in an incidental and casual way. praising H. C. Faulting, mem? ber of the house of representatives from ihis county, and inferentially 'criticising the Calhoun senator. l>:\ Summers. This course the governor has followed in several of the oun tles already visited, presumably in pursuance if his avowed pol'cy of "sta nding I y his friends." "I*nun Ihe women of Calhoun county, who heltevi you will redeem the State.*' This was the inscription accompanying one of the several handsome Horal tributes which were handed up to Judge Jones at me conclusion of his speech today. Tne Rlease-Jones Beore for the past two days, in respect to bouquets, runs thus: Orangeburg Blease .loins 2; St. Matthews?Ideas.. 1. Jones .".

' Clov, Blease, taking tin I >or directly afterwards, said he was glad tin women had sent Judge Jones these yellow flowers, "for yellow noan- forsaken."

Y., Juno IS, 1912. Dear BUI: Well 1 am hero in Now York enjoying my vacation. Where I thought I would never be able to take one. You s^e I really have 10 many living expenses that I never got a chance to lay aside a "trip fund." However, last fall, a friend of mine in Sumter told me that he had taken a trip the summer before, by saving a small amount each week from his "incidentals." and de? positing these amounts in the People's Bank. You know they pay 4 per cent interest, and your money's there "ia a lump" at the end of the year. I'd advise you to try it. Yours. Henry. The Peoples' Bank. The Fir^l National Bank -OF SUMTER. After paying the regular semi-annual dividend of four per cent, increased its Surplus to $100,000.00, thus making its working Capital $200,000.00. In addition to this, it has a comfortable Undivided Profits account. With a Surplus equal to its Capital Stock, and an' Undivided Profits account to provide for any possible loss, there is no institution in this section of the State in which your money is safer, and none in a better fi? nancial condition to take care of the requirements of its patrons. WE WILL WELCOME YOUR ACCOUNT. REMEMBER. A Substantial Bank account, with a Sub? stantial Bank, is a valuable asset from every business viewpoint. Start one with us today, either Savings at 4 per cent., Certificate at 5 per cent., or Gener? al, and you will be pleased with the result. THE FARMERS' BANK & TRUST CO.
