twelve delegates ten are supporters
of Judge Jones, one for Governor
Blease and one in doubt. 1t seems
from reorts that Governor Blease
Jared equally as bad throughout the
county. Summerton has already re-
ported solid delegation for Judge
Jones, and in Manning the Farmers
Platform Club, club organized in
the early nineties, and composed
strictly of Tilmanites, with q dele

ty convention, gave Judge Jones
seventeen, Blease five and one In
doubt Theot two Manning clubs,
Clarendon and Manning, gave Judge
Jones seven and six, respectively,
while Governor Blease got none. One
significant fact was the defeat Of
Senator Applet as a delegate from

OLD VETERAN
ANSWERS CALL
MR.. JONATHAN EDWARDS, ONE
OF UNION COUNTY'S OLDEST
AND BEST CITIZENS DIED
TUESDAY MORNING-HE WAS
A GALLANT SOLDIER AND A
SINCERE CHRISTIAN.

Mr.. Jonathan Edwards died at his
home six miles below Union on Tues
day morning about o'clock, and was
buried Wednesday at Sardis church,
Rev. l.. M. Rice conducting the burial
A large number of friends and rela-
tives gathered to pay last tribute
to the memory of this good man.
He was taken i'll just little more
than week before his death.
MIR. Edwards was 78 years of age.
He served four years in the Con-
federate army. He was one of the
first to volunteer from this county.
Mr.. G. S. Greer, who attended Mr..
Edwards funeral, says that Mr.. Ed
wards death leaves but one man of
the first company that went out, he
himself, being that lone survivor. Mr..
Edwards was brave soldier, and
served faithfully during the entire
four years of the war. He was a
man who loved peace. "He came
business as any man living was
what one man said of him. He was
possessed Of a kindly heart and lived
at peace with his neighbors. He was
faithful in every relation in life. In
the home he was kind and affection
ate. He was loyal to his church, and
for many years he has been a dea-
con in the Hebron Baptist church.
A touching thing at his burial was
the fact that six old Confederate
Veterans bore his body from the
church to the grave. These pail
bearers were: j. w. Sanders, G. C.
Greer, J. j. Eison, Thos. Young, Thos.
Eison and c. 8. Greer.

BLEASE LOSES IN
DILLON MEETING.
Judge Jones Gets % Delegates, Blease
Seven-Test Motion, Made Early
In Meeting by Pronounced Advo-
cate of Judge Jones for Governor,
Shows Overwhelming Sentiment
Against Governor.

Dillon, April 29.-The reorganiza-
ton Of the Democratic clubs Of the
county has been looked forward to
for several weeks as an event of un-
usual Importance and study. When
the appointed hour arrived the court
room VISA crowded with men whose
anxious faces clearly indicated the
acuteness Of the situation. Each fac
ton felt that the first move would
pretty clearly show the relative
strength Of the opposing sides and
began manoeuvering for position.
w T. Bethea was called to the
chair and A. B. Jordan elected secre-
tary. The motion that the chair ap-
point committee of five to name
delegates to the county convention,
coming from DR.. j. H. Hamer, a
pronounced friend of Judge Jones
was challenge to the other side and
Mr.. Dilliam Murchison, a staunch
supporter of Governor Blease, declar-
ing that this motion being an attempt
to override the prerogative Of the In
dividual member of the meeting,
moved that DR.. Hamer's motion be
tabled. This at once became the is
sue between the opposing factions
and as the vote Of Mr.. Murchison's
motion to table would affix a correct
idea Of the situation it was awaited
with intense interest. The result was
as gratifying to the friends Of Judge
Jones as it was disappointing TO
those Of Governor Blease. Mr.. MUIR
chison's motion to table was lost by
an overwhelming vote.
The chsir appointed on this COM
mittee tirse for Jones and two for
Blease the delegation named by It
70 go to the convention, 23 to 2 In
favor Of Judge Jones.

Smith, evangelist for Enoree and
Piedmont Presbyteries. Mr.. Smith
was born in North Craolina, educated

the fine school of the Associated Re-
formed Presbyterians.
He has had unusually wide expe-
rience as preacher, having served
in Iowa, Arkansas Alabama, Geor-
gia, South Carolina and in other
States in evangelistic work.
The meeting i'm Union is delightful
for the fellowship, the co-working of
the different denominationalI families
of Christ's church.
The interest shown is deep, and
the Presbyterian part of Gods family
pray and hope that the Father will
bless Union in all the churches and
all the citizens. They desire to
publicly testify their grateful appre-
citation of the whole-hearted support
Of the meeting, by their friends of
the other churches.

live for Christ.
The closing worship will be in the
church Sunday night, beginning at
8 p. m.
The attendance, and the prayers
of the preachers are gratefully re-
corded; and Brother Wakefield, of the
First Baptist church has charmed all
hearts by his beautiful direction Of
the music, and his deeply spiritual
share in all the work of the meet
ing.
AS for Brother Smith, he is AN
able minister of the Word; he is a
whole hearted Christian. His eye is
single; he breaches Christ and Him
crucifed; he believes the Bible, and
lives it.
, This week the places of business
have closed for the afternoon wor.

Editor Times:
l endeavor this morning, to give
you an account of most shameful.
secret political trickery enacted at
Cross Keys last week. AS YOU are
aware, the township Democratic clubs
were ordered by the county chairman
to meet Saturday evening, reorgan
lze and elect delegates to county con-
vention. Well, crowd, denominat-
ing themselves, "The Blease Party
met, secretly, Wednesday night, elect
ed delegates to county convention,
virtually ignoring and disfranchising
the balance of the club. When Sat-
urday came goodly number of us
were on hand; but not being willing
to accept the three leaders illegal.
UNJUST plans, we proceeded to elect
delegates of our own choosing. Thew
(the party having a small majority.
elected the officers of the club. II
am astohished and mortified, to think

Keys should, without forethought, or

quences of their misguided action.

friends and brothers are the awful.
