Pickens and wife of ' White Stone, visited his father, Mr. ' J. W. Pickens, in this community last Saturday and Sunday. If you remember, some time back I wrote about a bull fight and race. The man has left the tree that he climbed into as a momento of the occasion. Therer is a wolf tree standing near this place, where a man climbed into a tree and got away from the wolf, at that time this country was in a wilderness. This tree can be seen and I expect it is over 150 years old. It is a post oak and if the wind don't blow it down it may stand for centuries to come, for those that know about it will not cut it down.. I think about the event every time I pass the tree.

This writer, after reading ' his letter, thought about what he heard his father say. This place is near Kelly's Station as I understand, a place once noted for Horse racing, chicken fighting and all kinds of sport, as well as a man fight occasionally. This was on Pea Ridge,a nd those who have never seen this place have heard of it in some way. Some people used to think they raised nothing but peas there. They thought the land was so poor but that was a mistake, for it was the blossom of the country. Now, with no reflection to any one, I will say I have heard my father tell of seeing many a fight out there on that old mustering ground, as it was where they drilled before the war, like the military boys do now. But as to the fighting, he said they fought in a ring and fought fair. They were * not allowed to strike below the belt. And they hardly ever heard of a man being killed by cutting or shooting. The campaign is now on, and politics is the subject talked about. It looks like warm times and hot times in the State campaign, but I hope I it won't be the case in our county ] campaign.

It is right that the people of South Carolina should know the fact about he candidates in the race for Gov;rnor before the 27th of August be*:ause no one can vote properly uness he can vote intelliirentlv and to vote intelligently one must know the ecords of the candidates. This article is written with the purpose of etting the people know more about Ira B. Jones. Few people know that Judge Jones s a man of the people. He is proud )f the fact that in Newberry County le was born, and that there are still icople living who remember that his 'atber was a respected carpenter and lis mother assisted his father in the support of the family by sewing for the neighbors. As Student and Young Lawyer. Almost from childhood Ira B. Jones looked at life seriously. His schoolnates remember that often in the afternoon when they were at play he would go in early to study for his classes the next day, and they testify to the fact that he gave early promise >f becoming upright, honest and a jseful citizen. By careful study and taking advantage of such meagre opportunities as were offered, he obtained a fair education. Schools were not then what they anow and that is arobably the reason why Judge lones, remembering his own difficulties and wishing to smooth the road for other boys, declared that as Govjrnor "The improvement and devel>pment of the Common School* lav.e. my keen interest and hearty' rnpport. It would be easy to tell and might >e interesting to hear how younr fones, having gotten an education noved to Lancaster county and be?an the practice of law. His clients :ame slowly at first and how later laving inspired the confidence of his lome people he acquired a large and laying ?actice. What we are chiefy interested in, however, is his poliical career. As Legislator. In 1890 Ira B. Jones was elected to he Legislature from Lancaster couny and it is evident that he was widey known and that his ability had >een recognized, for he was at once nade chairman of the Ways and deans Committee of the House and vas later elected Speaker. These vere stirring times, for the great reform movement had just swept over South Carolina and party spirit ran ligh. Senator Tillman, then Govern>r, was instituting many needed reorms and Judge Jones, as speaker of he House, did efficient service. Be it laid to his credit, however, that alhough the whole State was aroused >y political animosity, Judge Jones ;o conducted himself as to receive the learty applause of friends and at the ame time, by his fairness, he wort he respect and confidence of those vho had been his political opponents. As Judge. It came therefore, as a natural revard for service that in 189B he was sleeted Associate Justice of the highst court in the State. It may be nentioned in passing that his present BUIL - 1VIATE * ' V . * _ . c "Bargj pleased customers 1 be no stop to this fill V*AllllAAil ail lCUUtCU. M1IU Boys' 25c Shirts ot 10 and 11, we wi Saving on yc ER\ opponent in the race for Governor seconded, his nomination and voted for him for Associate Justice. Having served twelve years as Associate Justice in 1909, upon the retirement 1 of Justice Pope, Judge Jones was ele- j vated to the position of Chief Jus- ] tice, which is the highest judicial po- . sition in the gift of the State. It may truthfully be said that no ' Judge in South Carolina in many 1 years has enjoyed a greater reputa- j tion both for ability and honesty ( than Ira B. Jones. The same industry and conscientious performance of du- i ty which was noticeable in his as a < young man have characterized his ] work as a judge. 1 He has been the recipient of many , honors from his fellow men and the ' emoluments of office, but the satisfaction of a hard day's work well ' done has ever been his best reward. 1 Among the charges hurled at Judge Jones by his political opponents is that he has leaned toward corporations. Suffice it to say that at attor- < ney he never represented a corporation and as Judge he repeatedly up- ' held large verdicts against corpora- | tions. In the case of Rhodes against the Granby Cotton Mills of Columbia he upheld a verdict of $8,000 in favor of Rhodes on the ground that , there was evidence that he had been unjustly discharged and blacklisted by the cotton mill. The verdicts which he sustained against the railrOflHs WOlllH rim infn ? M>1 W I1UI4U1CUO U1 thousands of dollars, there beinj* one verdict against the Southern Railway Conrmany for $25,000 and many others for large amounts. He has never leaned toward or pgainst corporations, but his decis-. Ions and rulings have been what those of every judge should be?just and fair to all. Charges Unjust. As citizen, lawyer, legislator, Judge / and Chief Justice, Ira B. Jones has "made good." He has lived an up- | right .moral life; is a conscientious member of the Associate Reformed ' Presbyterian church, is temperate in his habits, and has measured up to ^ all the requirements of a true and useful man. It should be remembered that this man who is before S the people in the race for Governor has never in his life been charged j with anything unbecoming the highest and best citizen until his oppo- l nent brought charges against him. The absurdity of these charges is shown by the fact that Cole L. Blease voted for Judge Jones for United States Senate in 1909 with such men as Frank B. Gary, LeGrand Walker, J. L. Coker and other high men. To 1 try to make South Carolinians believe iLi- ?L- ? >- *' niiii lium iiihu who nas oeen tneir ? highest Judjre believe in social equality between the races is evidently , such a trick to catch votes as to need * no exposure. Ira B. Jones is not a political ex- 1 periment, and as a Governor, he may be counted on to give the people the same honest, faithful and intelligent service which has always character- | ized his work in their behalf. lt-pd.
