On the whole his speech was very
similar to his Florence address, full
of abuse and uncouth language for
everybody who was not a Bleaseite
or presumed to criticise his official
actions.
As to what he terms the social
equality record Of Judge Jones, he
said: when l showed UP his mig
ger record in my speech at Bishop
vile, l eliminated him forever from
politics in South Carolina. I WON
der if those pretty girls who brought
him those flowers know he voted in
1891 and 1892 to make your wives
and daughters and sweethearts ride
in the same coaches with big buck
niggers?"

rate coach, or Jim Crow, law,
Judge Jones said that DR. A H Will
liams of Lake City, one of the best
men in the State, had voted with
him against separate coaches, and
no one thought for a moment OF ac-
cusing DIR Williams of favoring So
clel equality. He also named D l.
Brown, H E Eaddy, J H Blackwell
and J w Singletary, all prominent
men of this section, who voted as
did Judge Jones. The speaker de-
nounced as wholly false and infa-
NOUS any intimation that because
he voted against separate coaches in
the early 9O's he favored social
equality.
Here again the speaker took no.
tice of an interruption from young
man on the front row. It's all
right when he (Blease) can find
men with such narrow intelligence
as yours; but, fellow citizens, he
can't fool all the people Of South
Carolina all the time. If anybody
tries to fool a Williamsburg audi
ence he will fool nobody but the
fools in it.
Judge Jones referred to the grant
ing of pardon to Henry Davis, the
Williamsburg negro who murdered
his father-in-law at Salters, and
asked: Is there anybody here from
Salters who signed a petition asking

course of his remarks said: / never
represented railroad in my life. "
THAT'S because the railroads
didn't want you," came the cry
from a rube in the audience.
"Oh, let him say it, advised
Judge Jones, heis saying only what
his master says" - pointing to
Blease. This thrust called forth tre-
mendous applause.
Again the speakers disturber in
terrupted to say: "You just wanted
some of that money yourself and
couldn't get it,"
Quick as a fash Judge Jones said:
Here is the difference between
Jones men and Blease men: Blease
men don't want to hear the truth.
They squirm and wriggle and holler
and try to howl down the man who
is trying to rub it into them. They
went to Georgetown. for that pur-
pose. W H Andrews, the champion
log-roller, brought them there.

log-roller in his camp. You know,

throughout the audience. But II
was Jones meeting, and it can be
said with impunity that it was a
meeting of the representative voters
of Williamsburg; men who are able,
willing and ready to do their duty
as they see it at all times and upon
all occasions. Judge Jones routed
his enemies and held the best OF the
audience throughout his speech.
Attorney General Lyon was the
first speaker and was received with
hearty applause.
In a brief mention of his oppon-
ents Mr. Lyon said: I do not at
tempt to discredit my opponents;
two of them I have the highest
respect for" The Attorney Cen
eral paid little attention 10 MS COM
petitors, giving his time to a review
of his administration.
Mr. Thomas H Peoples made his
usual speech, which was well re-
ceived. Mr. Peoples told the crowd
he would have as good a record as
Attorney General in four years as
some others had made in six years.
Senator J R Earle was not pres
ent but sent a letter to the chair
man. In Mr. Earle's letter he said:
Il favor the economic administra-
ton of the government in all of its
departments and the prosecution OF
all wrong-doers alike and the con-
cealment of nothing from the eyes
of the public" "
When Mr. B B Evans was an
nounced there was a Hurrah for
Lyon"
"You must be one of those graf
tiers he let off," retorted Mr. Evans.
Mr. Evans referred directly to At
torney General Lyon, and told the
people they ought to elect lawyer
with a brain of his own. He stated
that he was running on his own
ability and that he was no pin
hook" lawyer.
Taking the stand again, Mr. Lyon
said: Evans statements from be-
ginning to end are a tissue of lies. "
There was tremendous cheering
for Lyon upon his unqualified de-
nunciation of Mr. Evan 5 charges.
Messrs S T Carter and d W Nc
Laurin, for State Treasurer, made
short addresses in which each can
didate set forth his claim to office.
John S Richards, J W Wharton
and James Cansler, for railroad
commissioner. Cansler was the big
noise with the crowd, and conclud-
ed his address by assuring the voters
that he was going to be Railroad
Commissioner.
Mr. Jno T Duncan was the first
of the candidates for Govern or tC
speak His remarks seemed to be
directed against Gonzales and Clark.

for the pardon of Davis?" NO,
no, no." and several more no.:
came from the audience.
| When Judge Jones took his seat
the cheers and applause were
almost deafening; in volume it was
exceeded by that nowhere else, ex-
cept possibly at Georgetown. Men
waved their hats and handkerchiefs; !;
they rose from their seats and for
several moments the warehouse re-
sounded with the liveliest bit Of
noise heard in these parts in many
a day. 1t was hushed for a few mo-
ments only to allow two young la
dies to march up the aisles and pre-
sent to the speaker two beautiful
floral tributes. The young ladies
were Misses Eunice Harper and Ada
Brockington.
Next to beautiful and gra-
cious woman is a beautiful flower" :"
said Judge Jones, and then there
was unrestrained applause, Chair
man Hines pounding for quiet.
Governor Blease was the last
speaker. He took the platform at
3 O'Clock and was received with
lusty cheering by his followers and
lot Of small boys who love to make
any kind of a noise.
The speaker started off by pro-
ducing a few documents to show
why he had pardoned three, of the
several hundred criminals, he has
liberated from the State penitcntiary
since his Inauguration in January
1911. In referring to the Henry
Davis case he said:
rs to the pardon of Henry
Davis, l have no apologies to make;
I'd do it again. In the first place
| didn't pardon Henry Davis. |
paroled him on the plea of his aged
parents in Florida who need his as
sistance for their support. His petit
ton was presented by Mr. 5 McG
Simpkins, of Edgefeld, and was
signed by some citizens of Williams
burg, some folks in Florida and
some Of the jurors. He was paroled
on condition that he leave the State
within twenty-four hours. South
Carolina was the gamer; one niger
dead and the other one out Of the
State. "
He referred to the J B Files mat
ter which created some stir in tie
Trio section some time ago. In ev-
cry line taken up by him he would
have his audience to believe that he,
as Governor, had acted wisely justly
and for the best interest Of the
State.

11:30 Tuesday.
The large new building known
as Gorrell's tobacco warehouse

The many friends of the family were
grieved to hear of the death of Mrs.
Marie Christianson, wife of Tosten

A Nusical Suocess,

The musical given by Miss Reeds pu-
pills at the Presbyterian church last
night was grand success, especially
SO from an artistic standpoint. All the
participants in the lengthy program &C.
quilted themselves with credit. The
little tots went thru sheir difficult parts
without a single failure. The progress
made during the year by some of these
pupils is mentioned as something quite
remarkable by such as are in a position
to know.
While all the performers were good
the work of Miss Ethel Carlson was es
pecially fine and received the unquali.
fed admiration Of all who attended the
concert. There is no question but what
she has musical career If she follows
it up. --...
The crowning number of the program
was the closing overture which was
played on two pianos with eight hands
by the Misses Ethel Carlson, Esther
Wolberg, Cora Osmundson and Ethe
Reed. Thru an unfortunate .misunder

Swedish Day, July 18th.

The Swedish Literary Society held
it's May social last Monday evening.
Besides the literary and musical pro-
gram, a committee was appointed to
secure a petition and present to the
school board to have the question of
teaching Scandinavian languages in the
Willmar schools submitted at the next
school meeting.
The report of the committee on the
Swedish Day. at Willmar this sum-
mer was adopted. The report recon-
mended that this day be held on Satur-
day, July 18th, and was in favor OF
making the special features a parade
in the afternoon and spectacle in the
evening, besides the two regular ses.
sions. The appointment of the various
committees to have charge of the diff
ferent features was deferred for a few
days. 1t Is probable that the Swedish
minister at Washington will be invited
and it is expected that Congressman
,Lindbergh and other notables will b,
here.
