The votf seekers h d prncti? ally nothing new lo say. Th. , fOWd St times was noisy, hut ssj the whi.U good order was maintained. A group ot Ideas,, sup? porters near the stand seemed dis? posed to give Judge Jones some trou? ble, but were finally silenced hy the expressed determination of Mayor Kenneth Baker to have the disturb? ers removed ggg obtain quiet "If it takes every man in town to do it." In opening the meeting Mayor Ba? ker urged the audience to listen re? spectfully to the speakers and also requested the candidates to eliminate personalities and mud-slinging. As a result the speeches made by those who have been supplying the fire? works were considerably more tem? perate and "talsltier" was a much inora popular epithet than "liar" even with the Governor. Another deter? rent, perhaps, was the presence of more than two hundred ladles, while a goodly number of special policemen aided in holding the exuberances of the crowd In check. After Mayor Ba? ker's exhortation. County Chairman James Rogers, of Ninety-gig, took charge of the meeting, which was held In the Court House yard. Show? ers that came while the Gubernato? rial candidates were speaking inter? fered, somewhat with the proceedings, < tusfng Judge Jones to suspend for a while and Governor Blease to cut short his remark* by about fifteen minutes. In view of the excessive heat of the past few days and the prospect of relief, nobody protested when the rain came. Judge Jones had at least one sup? porter in the crowd who was deter? mined that his favorite should have fal~ play. He was Mr. Joel Woods, a r Veteran, evidenced by Mi of l onor suspended on his point in Judge Jones' SpSjech, srltl the group of Blease men dtr?cll\ Is it nt of him apparently trying to howl dawn the Igtshtr.

It was here that the Inter? vention of Mayor Baker was required to restore order, and his admonition was effective. It was stated that Mr. Woods is an employee of one of the local cotton mills, and a former Blease supporter, and also that the men to whom his remarks were ad? dressed were mill operativ?.. The crowd today appeared about evenly divided between Jon i? and Blease. despite the Governor's usual claim of two-thirds for him. In view of the fact that the five cot'.on mills here closed down and many of the employees attended the meeting, the supporters of Judge Jones expressed perfect satisfaction at the SSV wing made. It was also stated that b large number came 'r<on adjolnMg coun? ties. Governor Blease today read two letters from Senator Tlllman, evident? ly written to supporters of the Gov? ernor, but neith ?r gase the Governor the "eminently uualltled" endorse? ment and cont i ged nothing to Indi - . te the Senator's du Meaars. Carter and McLaurln pre? sented their e!.i a s for St.it? Treas? urer, as did Messrs Wharton. Rich? ards and Canst* r tor railroad com? missioner.

Join s will be the next Governor." Referring tu Governor Phase's thre.it that hang-* over the people of Charleston Judge Jones again declared his belief that the peo? ple of a city that lias Withstood the ravages of war, pestilence, earth? quake and oyolonS "can't he intimi? dated by a puny threat of Coley Please." And what du yuu tllill? Of that?*' asked the speaker. after quoting Governor Blease to the effect ih; I hS WOOld "make that gang sweat blood should he (Phase* be de? feated." Judge Junes arraigned the Govern? or for attempting to oust Magistrate Kerr and other officials of this coun? ty, whom the Governor did not (lass among his friends. Jndg Jones said it Wad strange that the Governor should hug to his bosom David 11. Magill, of Greenwood, and even let Mr. Magill induce him to violate the law in regard to appointments, when Mr. Magill voted exactly as Jones did on the separate coach bills, and the Governor had said that any man who so voted was in favor of social equali? ty between whites and negroes. "What we want in South Carolina," said Judge Jones, "is observance of law." "We've got it," yelled a man in the crowd. "Well, you didn't get it," was the retort, "when they tried i>? drive from office the one-armed Confederate Veteran. W. II. Kerr, your magistrate! Oh. the Governor professes great love for the Confeder? ate Veteran! Yet he voted against establishing the Soldiers' Home at Columbia, against an appropriation to support the Confederate Home at Charleston, and against pensioning widows of Confederate Veterans. Moreover, he had the effrontery to arouse for himself the applause of an audience of Veterans in Columbia by claiming to have supported Wade Hampton, when he knew that in the joint assembly he voted first, last and all the time for J. L. M. Irby, just as I did." "And there, too," said Judge Jones, "were Magistrates Purdy, Rogers and Devlin and Messrs. Hinton and Duffy, of your county board of regis? tration, all or most of them Confed? erate Veterans. Governor Please, if he had h'a way. would dismiss the matter." Judge Jones repeated his strong 11 pnea to ths worklngrnan, whom in* urt?*"'! to join hands with thogt seek? ing to raise pooi old South Carolina' from the "depths to which sh< has i.ne u Long . pplause, hand-clapping predominating, mark? ed the close of Judge Jones' speech. Charging that Judge Jones' cam? paign manager, Mr. J. William Thur? mond, tried to get him to violate the law. Governor Please told of two county annexation projects, saying that because he gave Mr. Sam Mc Gee's petition precedence over that of Mr. Thurmond's. "from that day Pus? sy Foot BUI has been lighting me, and that's the reason he's sending out Henry Kearsey and other men to tell lies on me." One of the letters from Senator Tlll man held up by the Governor stated, in substance, that the Senator was besieged with letters and velegrams since the publlcath n of his letter to Kditor Sims, the writers inquiring about "my supposed endorsement of Judge Jones." The Senator also ex? pressed disgust at the headlines he said some newspapers had used to herald his letter to the orangeburg editor. Senator Tillman has his own race to run, said the Governor, who intimated that it pays a man to mind his owg business. Another letter hTOm the Senator read by the Gover nur was: 'Whoever told you 1 was lined up with Johg Gary Fvans or anybody else tu beat Please fur Gov? ernor doesn't know what he's talknn aboUb" Governor Phase again de? clared he dtdh't need anbudy to tell him he's qualified to be Guvernur. that he has shown it during the last nineteen months, ami intends tu ?m? phasl/.e it In the next live months and for two years thereafter, The Governor exhibited a copy Of the Anderson Intelligencer, owned by i' d. \ i? tor Cheshire ami edited by Col, Leon Green, both of the Gover? not t i it.

Th.

Sweet potatoes will be plentiful this fall. Sweet potatoes will, therefore, be cheap. These facts, in pleasant prospect, were set forth in a local story In yesterday's Herald. Pwelleds in some sections of our country do not appreciate the sweet potato. We are proud that no such withering indictment can be brought against any Georgian, in this State, while we know the virtues of the homely Irish potato, and revel in the delights it affords baked or fried, chipped thin or creamed, warmed over for breakfast or pickled in a vinegared, peppered and mayonnaised salad, yet we do not for a moment al? low ourselves to forget that the only potato?the only real potato?is the tender, jucy Georgia yam, with a3 many seductive flavors as Christmas ambrosia, and containing more su? gar to the square Inch than molasses candy. The prejudice of the benighted North against the sweet potato is rapidly passing. TVie marvel of it all is that it did not pass long ago. That eventually it should die was as inevl ' .'? ? as that the Georgia watermelon, the Georgia p< ich. the Georgia paper ?hell pet >n nnd the Georgia mri f should each In turn take the world by storm, The world will never be required, kind fate be praised, to take its sweet potatoes in homeopathic doses as it must Oftentimes take the choice tidbits produced in other quarters of the globe. Russia may report a short crop of caviar, the lobster catch may fail, the Georgia peach may encount? er one frost too many, the golden treasures of the Florida orange groves may die abornin,' and the Delaware grape turn up its toe when summer drought withers the weldt, but Geor? gia yaller yarn sunk In the nourish? ing soil and disturbed not by wind nor tioods nor any of the rest of na? ture's sprees, gains size and symmetry color and sweetness as the days pass, ami finally, when it Is dug from the hill and sent to market, as early as late July, it is a storehouse of pure delight'?"the best satin' "?for the money in which hungry man is privil? eged to invest. The canned sweet potato has intro? duced this aristocratic yet unpre? tentious tuber to thousands who knew it not before, and we do not doubi. that this is one of the powerful Influences now* turning the tide hi homeasekers from other sections of the country into Georgia. For the Gorgla yam is a king In Its own right, and it will surely reach the highest pinnacle Of epicurean tame. A politician who retuses to have a sore toe but smiles at those who are agalnat him today is likely to make a winning race In the future.
