RAILROADS WILL COOPERATE
For Success of Corn Show. VIII Grant
Side Trip Rates for Those Desir.
to Take il In

Columbia, Aug. 20.-ln connection
with the National Corn Exposition to
be held in Columbia next January,
the railroads operating in South Caro-
lima have granted what Is known as
side:trip excursion fares from Colum-
bia to a large number Of points in
South Carolina. This will enable Wis
itors who come to the exposition in
Columbia, taking advantage of the
low rates to Columbia from all parts
of the country, to take side trips to
any part of South Carolina at reduced
rates. 1t is planned to make the Corn
Exposition the occasion for a great
homecoming of native South Caro-
linians now residing in other States,
and this will afford them the oppor-
tunity to secure cheap rates not only
to Columbia for the exposition but
from Columbia to other points in this
State. Residents Of South Carolina
who are expecting their relatives and
friends in other States to come back
at that time will do we'll to call their
attention to these side-trip rates,
which are granted by the Southern
Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line, the
Seaboard Air Line and the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens, and connect
ing lines in the State.
The side-trip tickets will be on
sale in Columbia January % and 80
and February 6 and 8, 1913, with final
limit to reach Columbia returning not
later than midnight of February II.
Reduced rates for the National
Corn Exposition have already been
granted by the railroads operating
through the Southern States, and
southern Illinois and Ohio, and it is
expected that similar rates will be
granted throughout the West.

HOWL DOWN JONES
IN ANDERSON TOWN
Crowd Of Three Thousand he
fuse to Hear Him.
EVEN JOSH ASHLEY COULDN'T QUIET
Nj Q Q ting Finally Adjourned
Without Either Candidate
. Speaking-GOvernOr -
Talks Later. D..

Spartanburg Herald,
Anderson, Aug. 1.-THE greatest howl
ing down yet accorded speaker In the
present political campaign was,that given
Judge Jones today by Anderson County
voters, or an element Of them. Judge
Jones made four separate efforts to begin
his speech, but none was OF any avail.
Governor Blease, Acting County Chair
man S. D. Pearman and "Citizen" Josh
Ashley all made efforts to quiet the crowd,
but the crowd would not be quieted. A
we'll groomed citizen said after the meet
ing that he had heard many Of the howl
ers say before. the meeting started that
they came for the purpose OF preventing
Judge Jones from speaking. They sue
ceeded.
BLEAsE DIDN'T SPEAK.
But neither did Governor Blease Idelive1
his speech, for he said unless the crowd
would hear Judge Jones he would not
talk. The governor did say few words
and took hand primary, thus showing
that a large part Of those who put up their
hands were in that section Of the crowd
from whence had come the bowling. The
meeting was adjourned, the days event
breaking up in CONSERVATION.
Pandemonium prevailed for while and
the crowd so packed the speakers stand
that the stand came near collapsing.
HAND PRIMARY A FAILURE.
About 5000 people heard the candidates
and 1t was evident that the Blease senti-
ment was strong, though when the hand
primary was taken less than half the
hands went up. There was large part OF
the crowd which could not hear the gov.
ernor call for the "vote" so great was the
CONSERVATION. Good order had been
maintained during the meeting up until
the introduction Of Judge Jones. Judge
Jones was announced and the crowd be-
gan It's racket. There was continual up
roar for many minutes and Judge Jones
folded his arms, placed his knee upon the
railing in front OF him and waited. The
chairman demonstrated with the howlers,
but could not quiet them.
Governor Blease rose to his feet. A
louder shout went up and then lulled'
The governor asked the crowd to hear the
speakers respectfully and said that he
would not speak unless Judge Jones was
given hearing.

Next Tuesday the voters will exercise
their privilege Of choosing the men VINO
for the next two years will enact and en-
force the laws All interest has been CEN
tered In the governors race and little else
can be heard in any section OF the county
but BIease and Jones. Supporters OF both
candidates are claiming Abbeyille county
for their favorite,, and every effort is being
put forth by both sides to capture major
ity Of the votes. In the last primary two
wears ago Governor Blease carried the
county by 27 votes. Supporters OF Judge
Jones base their claim upon the fact that
the Governor has lost more than the ~
majority which he received two years ago
and has attracted no new support, and In
addition many who voted for, Governor
Blease before as an expression Of their op-
position to prohibition will, since the elm
ination OF that issue, cast their ballots 1or
Ira B. Jones. =. ..
The supporters Of the Governor deny
that the prohibition vote, as registered
two years ago, will go solidly for jones'
and 1t is upon this and the fact that the
vote will be heavier this time than in the
former election that they base their hopes
Of carrying the election.
One thing is certain, every inch OF
ground has been fought and no stone has
been left unturned to change voter who
might in the least be inclined to waver.
Careful and well-informed estimators
place the majority of the leading candi-
date in this county at from $50 to 25O votes.
There is practically no discussion OF the
other candidates for State offices, the gov
ernor's race having overshadowed every
thing else. -
This being the home of Hon. Fraser
Lyon, Abbeville will give him handsome
majority, but predictions as to the others
will be the merest guesswork.
COUNTY CANDIDATES. -
The county campaign resumes today,
the meeting being held at Antreville. The
remaining meetings will be held as fol-
lows:
Due West-August %.
DonaldS-August %.
Abbeville-August a.
While, with the exception of candidates
for the house, public expression from the
county candidates as to their preference
for governor has not been demanded from
the stump, many voters are going to
draw the lines and the leanings OF most
candidates are pretty generally under
stood.

Everything considered, it looks as IL
the graduates OF Washington's high
schools are going to have q hard time OF
10 this year as compared with former
years. The contingency fund Of the
schools Is SO low, according to a report
made by DR.. Davidson yesterday, that
the classes will not be able to hold their
exercises in a theater or public hall, as
heretofore, but will have to use the as
sembly halls OF their respective schools.
Also 1t looks as II the invitations may be

vious years, in order to save $50. Further
than this, 1t may be remembered, plain
dressing and no flowers was the rule laid
down by the board last year. and will be
observed this year.
Several things have contributed to low
er the contingent fund this year. 1t was
said. For one thing. owing to the extra
