ed the speaker.
Didn't believe it, came from some
body in the crowd. "No, did not be-
lieve it then and does not now,'' said
Judge Jones.
! Just about this time the Darlington
automobile near the stand began chug-
ging, interrupting the speaker, who
took occasion to remark, That's Mr..
Kerver's auto from Darlington. All
Blease men here today are not from
kershaw county; they are here from
various surrounding counties" and
Judge Jones was corroborated on this
point by several prominent Camden
citizens who declared that at least
three hundred, perhaps more, of the
crowd were all from outside Kershaw
county.
Taking up the social equality"
charge, Judge Jones mentioned sever
al prominent men of this county who
voted as he did, against the separate
coach law, among them being W. F.
Russell, G. w. Moseley, J. Walsh
Flood, J. R. McGill and Kershaw coun-
tvs lamented and honored son, J. T.
Hay. When questioned as to each of
these, the audience declared that none
of them believed in social equality.
Judge Jones told of the part he took
in redeeming the State in 1876, declar-
ed he never voted for Haskell, as
Blease charged, and that his record in
standing for white supremacy in South
Carolina was as good as. any mans.

Ware Shoals Endorses Blease.

Editor The Herald and News: At a
mass meeting of the citizens OF Ware
Shoals, the following preamble ond
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas, there have been for poll
tical reasons repeated efforts to dis
credit our chief executive, to blacken
his character, and impeach his integ-
rity, and, whereas, John P. Grace,
mayor of Charleston, aided and en-
couraged by a clique of the "old re-
gime," who have fought B. R. Tiliman,
and the Reform Movement since it's
incipiency, allied with them crowd
of sore-head politicians, and the lead
ing newspapers, issuing and publish
ing false and libelous accusations
against him.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the citizens of Ware Shoals, Green
wood county, South Carolina, IN mass
meeting assembled, do hereby go on
record, as believing the charges that
have been emanating from the depraV-
ed minds, foul mouths, slanderous ton
CUES, vile pens, and polluted hearts
of John P. Grace and T. B. Fielder, to
be premeditated, wilfully and mali
ciously false.
Resolved, further, that we express
our fullest confidence in the honest
character, ability, and integrity of our
governor, and pledge ourselves to do
81, that lies in our power to have him
re-nominated and reelected.

POLICE OFFICERS REMOVED.
Spartanburg Disciplines Police for AL
lowing Howling Down OF Jno. Z.
Grace.

Spartanburg, Aug. 5.-Upon refus-
inc to resign, ]. Edward Vernon, chief
of police, and Lieuts. W. T. tcudd and
F. H. Johnson, the latter cousin of
Mayor O. L. Johnson, were summarlly
discharged by the city council at a
special meeting, held tonight to in
vestigate the conduct of the police
Saturday night, when supporters OF
Gov. Blease howled down John P.
Grace, mayor of Charleston, and threw
eggs at him without hindrance as he
was making a speech in the theatre in
support of the candidacy of Judge Ira
b. Jones, Blease's opponent. The al
dermen were unanimous in their &C
tion
The police force was reorganized
bv the election of Moss P. Hayes as
chief. Robert c.. Hall, former chief,
as captain, S. J. Alverson as first lieu
tenant and Alexander Fleming as sec
iond lieutenant. The mayor was direct
ed to appoint 100 special policemen
for next Friday When Blease and
Jones will speak here, and the social
Clubs we're instructed to close on that
day.
Mayor 0. L. Johnson was absent
from the council meeting, having left
for the mountains at o'clock Sunday
morning, but returned tonight just
before the meeting adjourned.
Petitions are being circulated and
largely signed calling upon him to
resign because of the failure of the
police to preserve order. In an affl-
davit presented to the council r. W.
Knox stated that he heard Mayor
Johnson say he did not care how much
Navor Grace was howled down, and,
eff any were arrested he would turn
them loose" Johnson was surround
ed by a crowd of excited supporters
,,pon his arrival in the city and escort
cd to his Office He declined to make
any statement as to the situation.

council q mass meeting, which was

Jones said: "If l have a drop of Jew
blood in my veins I don't know it, but
if l did have l would be proud. Some
people sneer at Jews in communities
where there are none and hedge when
they are in, places where there are
Jews. Any man who tries to belittle
Jews is false to truth and false to hon
or"
Replying to Governor B'ease's
charges that Abney used Judge Jones's
son Charlie to megaphone to the then
chief justice, the speaker said: eff
Ben Abney IS that powerful and could
megaphone through my son to the
supreme court what must Abney be
doing now for the corporations of
South Carolina, living in the mansion
and eating at the same table with the
governor" After meeting various
other charges made from time to time
by Governor Blease, Judge Jones pro-
ceeded to tell of some of the things for
which he stands and which he advo-
Gates as essential to the progress of
the State
At the conclusion of Judge Jones's
speech he was surrounded on the
stand by many enthusiastic admirers.
In fact, the. judge was the central f.
gure in an enjoyable if impromptu re-
ception during which he shook many
hands, which were accompanied by
pledges of support on August q.

Blease continued The governor re-
ferred again to Judge Jones's "an-
archy" speech at Hampton; went over,
in part the King-Watson affair at the
mansion, calling his visitors on that
occasion chose two drunkards;;" said
he would prove Judge Jones traitor
as dirty as Benedict Arnold; charged
judges with going over to Senator
Tillman's political enemies, comparing
his opponent to Judas Iscariot, selling
out for thirty pieces of silver Today's
audience also heard Governor Blease's
Interpretation of Judge Jones's vote
against the separate coach law, the
basis of the governors well known
social equality" charges.
During his speech Governor Blease
was interrupted by Mr.. J. L. Guy, said
to be a substantial farmer, who sup
ported the governor two years ago.
Mr.. Guy wanted to know why Cover
nor Blease voted for Judge Jones after
knowing the latter's attitude toward
the separate coach law.
Here is the governors reply: "Wait
till l get through, and if you prove
you're a gentleman, I'll answer your
question" The governor said he would
answer questions from any gentleman,
but 81 do not propose to take up my
time answering Jones's hirelings."
In reference to Judge Jonesis fore
parents, Governor Blease said he had
never gotten his opponent to tell where
