Attacks on Jones.
In addition to the attacks upon
Judge Jones's record, all of which
have heretofore been mentioned, Gov
ernor Blease made numerous personal
references today which have not been
uttered at any previous meeting.
The governor asked where were
Jones's people in days of 1S61-65, when
the war was raging? Not Immediately
answering his own question some one
asked "where?"
ooh, | better not tell you; he's got
mixed blood in him and l can't get
him to admit it," replied the governor.
In 1875, he said that Jones and his
crowd were where Moses was, "in the
bull-rushes, and We couldn't pull 'em
out"
In the course Of his remarks on So
cial equality Governor Blease said:
"You people who want social equality
vote for Jones. You men who have
niger children holler for Jones. You
who have a niger wife in your back
yard holler for Jones"
'If l Should Die Tonight"
"If l were to die tonight Jones
wouldn't be governor. John T. Dun
can would be your governor. John T.
Duncan is cleaner man than Jones,
said the. speaker. At this point some
one yelled for Duncan.
'I'd just as lief you'd holler for Dun
cam" commented the governor, "be-
cause | don't believe you're got mig
ger wife"
Denouncing Judge Jones for coming
here some time ago and in speech
attacking him, Governor Blease said:
He comes here like a coward with his
mixed blood and strikes me behind my
back"
As to Judge Jones's entry into the
governors race, he said: Zones got
so mad that he went home and made
his wife get him his biggest razor,
shaved the feathers off his legs and
Jumped in the ring

The alleged dictagraph record read

The alleged dictagraph record read
before the dispensary committee in
Augusta in regard to Mr.. S. ]. Nichols,
of Spartanburg, has Mr.. Nichols say
ing that at the Baltimore convention
he was instructed for Harmon. We
didn't know Mr.. Nichols was even a
delegate to the Baltimore convention
our recollection is that he was not
but, anyway, we wonder where that
dictagraph got the idea that Mr..
Nichols had the idea that South Caro-
lima had instructed her delegation for
Harmon.

FALSE on FACE OF IT.

In the Fielder testimony adduced at
Augusta it is charged that Mr. F. H.
Dominick was employed to influence
executive action against Hayward
county and paid substantial fee, and
that he divided it with the governor,
and that if Mr.. Dominick would cor
roborate his verbal statements che will
state that he was employed because
of his influence with the governor" "

WHY THE PALMETTO DROOPS.

If The Herald and News believed
that Cole. L. Blease was a CRATER, it
would not defend him. If The Herald
and News believed that Cole. L. Blease
was a CRATER, it would Immediately
and as prominently as within its pow
er lay, repudiate him.
Fielder and his detectives seem to
have secured the country in the effort
to secure proof that he is CRATER.
If they have offered a scintilla of
proof worthy the name, we have fail
ed to observe it in the mass of social
ed testimony" committee OF the
South Carolina legislature went over
to Augusta, at the beck and call OF
Fielder, to secure, because Fielder was
confessedly afraid to come within the
borders of South Carolina.
The Herald and News publishes to-
day all of this so-called Testimony"
it's columns will hold. We are pub
fishing it in order that our readers
may consider it for themselves, and
form their own opinions from it. The
reports which we publish are taken
from the News and Courier.
The Columbia State, one the bitter
est partisan newspapers in circulation
in the world today, has double-lead-
ed editorial leader in its issue of Mon
day morning, headed "The Dropping
Palmetto" That editorial concludes
with this paragraph:
Detectives Burns declares he found
more corruption in South Carolina
than he has found in any State of the
Union; that he has become personally
interested and is going to get to the
bottom of everything, and have testi-
mony to present to jury. Will he
do it? Burns has an extraordinary
record of successes in those cases
that he has undertaken after investi-
CATION, but the presentations made at
Augusta are more in the nature of in
ferences to support moral conviction
than evidence to prove anything in
court of law. The matter brought out
does not fix criminality upon the gov
ernor of South Carolina
If the matter brought out does not
fix criminality upon the governor of
South Carolina" then who has caused
the palmetto to droop? Is it the gov
ernor, upon whom Fielder, in his
venom, with his cohort of sleuths, has
not been able to Elk criminality,' or
is it the committee of the South Caro-
lima legislature which has lowered the
dignity of South Carolina by going in
to territory where it has not even
power to administer an oath or to
punish for contempt, to take the testi-
mony of man of Felder's stripe, and
has allowed Fielder to give vent before
it to Testimony" of character which
would have no standing in a court of
law, and which, having no standing in
a court of law, and being in the ma

T.B. Fielder is shrewd. So much we
believe we can say of him without
fear of contradiction. He had some
venom which he felt it necessary to
give vent to, and he wanted wide
nublicity for it, and it appears as if
he had used a committee of the South
Carolina legislature as a dupe and a
tool with that end in view.

It seems the dispensary committee
in Augusta recessed to await the arrl-
val of an 90. K" telegram to one OF
their detectives, which would nave
meant the governor had pardoned. De-
ford for whom it was alleged Mr.. 5.
J. Nichols, of Spartanburg, had agreed
In buv a pardon from the governor.
The 90. K.' telegram did not come.

A dictagraph record is transcript
of a stenographer taken over an In
strument in the nature of telephone.
A dictagraph record is not record
which reproduces the voice in testl-
mony. Let's bear this in mind When
nassing upon the credibility of the tes-
timony adduced at Augusta.

am satisfied that Jones's friends are
trying to get that place for Jones. :"
And then the governor told of Col. Alb
news shrewdness in hiring Judge
Joness son, Charles D. Jones, espe-
cially in the Southern merger case,
so that if the case were lost and ap-
peal taken to the supreme court, OF
which Judge Jones was chief justice,
Abney would have "a megaphone to
Judge Jones's ear
Some Sizzlers.
Some disconnected remarks of the
governor are as follows:
81 made the supreme court stick
their heads between their legs and
sneak home"
"Jones tried to force social equality
On the white women of South Caro-
lima"
1T was the voice of God in the pri-
mary election two years ago"
"Any man who says l ever had a
free pass is a dirty liar
"Col. Bamberg is one colonel on my
staff that l have never seen full yet." :"
"a pet Judge who don't know any
more about law than bo-shoat knows
about a psalm book'-referring to
judge Ernest Moore.
The Olar Lynching.
Regarding the Olar lynching in this
county some months ago, Governor
Blease said: What did you do? You
did like men, defended your communl-
ty, and three black scoundrels We're
put under ground" And as to social
equality he said: What do you care
about the constitution! what do you
care about law; this is a white mans
country, and the white men will rule,
and l am here to back you up"
Governor Blease said he was sur
prised that Judge Jones admitted hav-
ing been bamboozled by Bunch McBee
with free pass, and that if he could
be bought with a free pass he could
be bought with. money. This was in
reply to Judge Jones's statement to
the audience: eyes, l had a free pass
in 1890; it was given me; used it in
behalf of the State, but | used it be-
fore there was law against it. Blease
used his and boasted of it, after there
was a law prohibiting members of the
legislature accepting passes. I'll ad
nit that l was one of the men bam-
boozled by Bunch McBee in those ear
ly days"
BleaSe Makes a Solemn Oath.
Governor Blease again made his SOL
emn oath that he had never received
a dishonest dollar; that he was not
ashamed of single act, public or pri-
vate, all of which he was willing to be
held up to the gaze of the public. Of
course, he admitted, he had been a
boy, and had done a good many things
that all boys and men do, but he was
willing for the people of his State to
review his whole record.
. Judge Jones Again Harassed.
Judge Jones again today had uphill
work in making himself heard, al
though there was not so concerted or
strong an effort to howl him down as
at Barnwell yesterday. There were
repeated cheers for Blease during his
speech, and at various times County
Chairman H. C. Folk raped for order
and appealed for fair hearing.

ALASKA QUESTION COMING
 UP FOR DISCUSSION

Spokane. Nov. 1S-In the discus sion of Che Alaska Question by the American Mining Congress at the forthcoming convention, which will De held in this city the week Of No vember 25-29. considerable assis- tauce will be rendered by Mir. J. To-. NcPhersou. c. E., who has spent nearly twenty years travelling in every part Of Alaska, and perhaps knows that country better geo. graphically, than any living man.
 He was engineer for the Alaska Road Commission and laid out the principal trails. He was chief on- giueer for She late NJ. J. Heney, and for him made the original survey Of the route of the Copper River Rail road. whose right of way Is now based upon that survey.
 NIT. McPhersou's work has been accepted by the United states Coast and Geodeuc Survey and personal credit given for it, which is un- usual Mir. NcPhersou Is now em- ploycd by Close Brothers, the nUau- cial packers Of the White Pass 6 Yukon. and spent last summer n making a mineral reconnaissance Of the region tributary to that road.
 His experience in Canada, espec- ially In the Yukon territory last summer. enabled him to make iu- teresting comparisons.
 Views of Alaska and the north land win be presented by Mir. Nc Phersou iu connection with an ad- dress on the peninsula and its re- sources. His views and address are regarded as of value tn illuminating the claims or the Alaskans, who eN- pect to come several hundred strong in an effort Co place themselves on record on the coal lands question be- fore a national body.
 The American Mining Congress has felt that the actual resident was the best qualified person to frame such resolutions as win be the basis of an Alaskan Campaign Co be carried on during the coming session of Congress.
 Acting upon this belief invita- tions have been extended to some 750 residents of that territory to attend Che Spokane Session and aid in the development Of a policy best adapted to further the development or Alaska.
 Much interest has been aroused through the invitation, aud, judging from the number of accoptanCes al- ready received, delegation Of sey- eral hundred win attend Che oonven- tion.
