1Y0N USES STRONG LAI AT Has a Tilt With Man in When Felder MS 4 MARKED TENSITY AT C i An unsuccessiui Aiiempi i? Many Spirited Excha Good Natured Heel Way Towards <> Unpleas; ' Conway, June 28.?You are a liar!" "You are a dirty dog and infamous scoundrel!" "You are nothing but a miserable coward!'.' were remarks hurled by Attorney General Lyon at a man by the name of J. A. Schwerin, from Sumter, who made uncomplimentary remarks at the attorney general during the letter's speech here * today in which he told of the "graft" prosecutions. "With all the evidence you had, why didn't you prosecute Felder?" asked Schwerin. "If there was evidence sufficient to prosecute Felder.' renlied Lvon. "it was kept in hiding." Lyon then mentioned the fact that the Newberry grand jury had failed to And a true bill against him. Schwerin shouted something about the dishonesty of juries. Schwerin kept up his remarks and Lyon said: "The matter with you, I suppose, is that Tom Felder has helped me to prosecute many grafters and in doing this he has touched you." , "That's a lie," replied Schwerin. "And I take the responsibility for my remark.' It was then that Lyon plied his assailant with names of "liar" and "coward," and added: "I'll be off this stand after a while and if you are not satisfied you can find me then." Schwerin was taken in hand by constables and was carried from the grove. "Lock him up, Lyon. That's not a Horry man. He's from Sumter." These were the sort of shouts that greeted Lyon's tilt with the man in the crowd. Schewrin returned after a while, but there was no trouble. Many of the candidates for m/inor other offices were heard silently. Tilt with Reporter. That the information that Governor Blease was paid $15,000 for the parole of Stobo Young _ had beep gleaned from a letter from a lady in unicago was the statement by one Hunt,( a representative of the Columbia State,) in the audience here when Governor Blease called on him to deny the statement which he had heard. "You are a liar and a coward," said Governor Blease to Hunt. Hunt went into an explanation of the statement, saying that he had not gotten direct information of any money payment. Hunt addressed himself to the governor, for several minutes, but the governor bitterly -denounced him, saying that he would be in the crowd a little later and had nothing to take back. "Any intimation that I favored so cial equality of the races is as false as hell itself," declared Judge Jones in denouncing this charge against him, and named many who had voted on the separate coaph law as he had. * There was slight applause. "Governor Blease was trustee of a negro college," said Judge Jones, and he quoted the statement by the governor 'a/ to the good work of this school. He mentioned other acts of the ffnvprnnr tn ?Knw Viio favnr ?>?_ groes. He maintained the pardon of many negroes and addresses before negro audiences. Judge Jones ' was presented with flowers, and he sat down amid applause. Governor Blease was applauded slightly more than Judge Jones. The word tilts which Attorney General Lyon and Governor Blease had with men in the audience were the features of the campaign meeting here today, when a crowd in which Blease sentiment was predominant heard the aspirants for office. Trie opccvnca wcic very similar u> mow made at past campaign meetings. The governor denied the report that he was "^mnk" at his inauguration and referred to the statement that he stopped at a blind tiger on his way to the inauguration. There was less applause at today's meeting than at any of the campaign and, while there was more for Blease than for Jones the difference was not great. Many in the crowd seemed to be little interested in politics, but the speakers brought laughter. The governor ended amid considerable jokes and cheering.?Spartanburg Journal. THE GEORGETOWN MEETING. (By McDavid Horton in The State) Georgetown, June 29.?An unsuccessful effort, chiefly by members of a large party from Andrews, wear- < ing "Cole Blease" hat bands and streamers to howl down Judge Jones, VGUAGE THE CONWAY MEETING Audience?Came About fas Mentioned. rEORGETOWN MEETING ? Howl Down Judge Jones, inges?Lively Though kllna Goes a Lonn v 0 ? Keeping Down airiness. was a feature of the State campaign meeting held here today. Numbers of the 800 or more citizens in attendance had come to the meeting ready for either fight or frolic, but the trouble which alarmists had feared because of the tensity prevailing in the local political situation did not occur. In fact, there was no disposition toward violence shown by anybody, although partisans made known their preferences unmistakably and the atmosphere was palpably electric with feeling. Interest of course centered in the debate between Gov. Blease and his leading opponent, Ira B. Jones. There was much cheering, and after a while general laughs were frequent. Both speakers were subjected to a cuuunuuua uuv a xainy gooa mturea heckling. Perhaps this rapid interchange between speakers and individuals in the crowd was the chief factor in the restoration of good humor. In these crackling but harmless discharges the currents of feeling with which the situation was surcharged were dissipated insensibly. A circumstance which probably played its part in the maintenance of reasonably good order was the presence of women. These were out in larger numbers, relatively and absolutely, than at any previous meeting of this campaign. Some of them?"the majority of the11 ladies of Georgetown the governor said, sent some flowers to Gov. Blease through Dave Rogers of Andrews. Several handsome floral tributes were sent tr> .TnHore .Tnnoa one of them bearing the card of the Women's Christian Temperance union. Most of the women present applauded Judge Jones, and they did it vigorously and often. Gov. Blease quite evidently felt elated over his reception, but he left the stand on concluding his speech and so failed to witness the really remarkable demonstration made in favor of Judge Jones. Upwards of 900 persons stood or occupied automobiles or other vehicles m Prince and Cannon streets to hear the candidates, who spoke from a platform decorated with red, white and blue streamers which had been erected in the angle hard by tfre venerable building of the Winyah Indigo society. Teetotalers in the campaign party had their misgivings aroused somewhat when a tinkling pitcher filled with amber liquid was deposited on the stand, but the beverage was only water from Black river. There were few developments beyond the contribution of a new chapter by Judge Jones to the controversy over special judges and the avowal by Gov. Blease of his alignment here with the Atlantic Coast Lumber corporation factions as renresented I politically by Dr. Olin Sawyer. The conservative or "Old Georgetown" faction, which at this time appears to have the upper hand, was represented in force at today's meeting, the chairman, L. S. Ehrich, being of that party. Judge Jones had charged at Horry that the governor by refusing to commission a lawyer of Conway, Paul ^uauieoaum, as special judge under a regular appointment by the chief justice had caused an "abortion" of the Horry court and so entailed heavy and needless expenses upon the county. Gov. Blease in reply declared that he did not commission Mr. Quattlebaum because either one of two circuit judges might have been assigned to hold the Horry court. Judge Copes, he said, was free, and Judge Memminger had informed him by telephone that he also was disengaged and available for duty. Judge Jones read today a telegram from Judge Memminger as follows: "Referring to Horry court, I wired you that under orders of Dr. Manning Simmons I was too ill to hold that court, and I stated the same thing to Gov. Blease, in answer to his long distance inquiry whether I had any other court to hold then." A Thoughtful Fiance. They sat in an East End parlor and held hands. "My love, we shall soon be married." "Yes Dear," murmured the girl. "I don't want you to do your own work when we are married. I wouldn't have your little hands roughened by household toil." "That is certainly considerate of you." "And that brings me to a delicate question. Have you enough money to enable us to keep a hired girl?"? Pittsburg Post. NEGRO LYNCHED NEAR EASLEY SATURDAY Attacked White Woman and Then Shot Her Twice aa She Ran Toward Her Husband?Negro Asked if She Intended Telling Her Husband and Then Fired. Having attempted to ravish the wife of a highly resDectable farmer of Pickens county and having shot her twice in the back with a singlebarrelled shot gun as she ran through the fields to her husband, Brooks Gordon, a young negro was torn firm the custody of the sheriff by a determined mob late Saturday afternoon and lynched. The woman is reported to be resting well and her chances of recovery are favorable, unless complications set in. ?The crime is one of the most atrocious of the kind ever committed in this section of the State, and the portion of Pickens county where the offense was perpetrated was in a terrible turmoil from the time the deed became known until the thirst for vengeance had been satisfied. According to reports from Easley last night, Brooks Gordon attacked the woman -as she was at work in b?o uciu, kb iu o ciock yesterday .morning. She broke loose from him and ran through the fields toward her husband, who was about half a mile away. The negro carried a single-barrelled shot gun and demanded to know of the woman if she intended reporting the matter to hefr husband. She replied as she ran thUjt she would tell her husband, and then the negro levelled the gun at her and fired. The wound did not deter the woman in her purpose. The negro ran after her, reloading his gun as he ran. He demanded of her the second time if she intended telling her husband, but before she could reply he raised his gun and fired upon her I again. Having fired the second shot into ji the back of the fleeing woman, the i negro turned and ran toward the < mountains.

No doubt Tobe sold it?he is continually under suspicion, but this case is not fair. It is spite work, and it is suspected a white man is manipulating the thing for another negro whose cbw Tobe had taken up for trespassing, but letting off free the first tune and only charging for the second. '?his whiskey selling ought to be : topped, but it never will be when iasy-going, or unscrupulous, or "don't Cre wmte men know of such facts, id maybe wink at them in some bases and maybe interested in some "tool" selling, and only report or seek to prosecute through a bit of spite. By all means don't do a thing only through, and because of spite, and then take drilled witnesses from among those employed in one capacity or other, by the prosecutor. That always lessens my respect for a man, if he ever deserved any. Now I believe lobe is guilty, if not just now, he has been at it, and I, with others, believe it is going on by others, on the same place with, and known by, all involved in this case of Tobe's, and will I go too far to suspect some are :o-partner8 to it.
