(Left from last week)
Lockhart Junction, July 29.?The
work in the field is about done now,
and the recreation time is here for
iL- r - - ?? "
me larmers, as wen as omers.
Crops are very sorry in this sec-1
tion, and other places where we have
seen. Cotton is mighty spotted.
Mr. J. E. McKinney has gone to
Greenville today.
Mr. J. H. 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.
As I read Mr. N. B. Eison's article
in The Union Times some timeback
about attending a gathering or a
barbecue on the 4th of July near

he saw. 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 looks like Mr. Blease and Mr. ^

SOMETHING ABOUT
IRA. B. JONES.
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

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. '

Mr. Boney 111.
There are many readers of this
newspaper, we are sure, who will regret
to learn that because of illness
Mr. S. E. Boney, who has reported
'he State ramnaicn mootinm
the first of them, will not be able to
Finish out the campaign, as he was
anxious to do and as it was intended
that he should. It is not our opinion
alone, but that of some of the most
competent judges in the State, that
Mr. Boney's reports will rank with
the best that have ever been done in
South Carolina. ,
The News and Courier, of course,
will-h^ve a staff representative with
the campaign party to the end. Mr.
L. H. Wannamaker, Jr., takes up the
work this morning. He is no stranger
to those who will follow his reports,
and they will be amply satisfied
with the fidelity of the pictures
which he draws.?News and Courier.
