something they had never done. How
ever, we are not surprised, for John
Gary Evans was the Western Union
Telegraph company's counsel. In the
case. Chief Justice Pope dissented and
said that the widow was entitled to re-

took her verdict away from her, but
stole her quarter and gave that to the
Western Union and made the poor
woman pay the costs.

Here is one of the greatest corpora
tions in this state and one which
South Carolina herself has had much
trouble with. After this plaintiff had
recovered his verdict against this cor
poration and combine, before that
honest and Christian judge, Klugh. we
find Judge Gary and Judge Watts
saying that the judgment should be
affirmed; but, along comes Corporation
Jones saying that the judgment should
be reversed. Again, we find Jones ia

ty of the mightiest, and that to the
detriment of one Of our own citizens;
one who. had helped, in his humble
way, as q member of the legislature,
and otherwise, to promote the welfare
of his state. l have heard the question
asked, What did that decision cost

which his son was the attorney, and
see IL you do not find that only when
he was against them was when the
court was unanimous. but whenever
there was an opinion for the railroads
or a divided court on a railroad case,
that you found Jones siding with the
corporations-the railroads. Why did
the Southern railway have son Charles

But he was not even satisfied with
that; on page 2T6, house journal of

after he went home and slept and
dreamed over the matter he came

and comes back, and in 1894 we find
him again working and voting to de-
feat the separate coach law-see
house journal, 1894, pages 80 and
312. Did he still have his free pass

for a railroad? I do not know, and
do not accuse him of it, but the rec

might call to your attention, but
time will not suffice; however, there
Is one thing that l know he Is par
ticulary proud of, and know that his
friends would be very much disap-
pointed If l did not give his record on
it; hence, under no consideration
would I overlook 1t.
When they were fighting so hard
to keep members Of the legislature
from using free passes Jones voted
for free passes-see house journal,
1891, page 354. The newspapers stated
that Jones had a free pass. and
that when he was asked about it. his
reply was: Eyes, they offered 1t to
me and I took it, and I will take
part of the road IL they will give it
to me-" That was all very we'll and
good; but, let's see: Did he have that
free pass in his pocket when he made
the record which I am now going to
cite? In 1S9O-see house journal,
1890, pages 76, 80 and 376-when l
introduced a bill to provide for separ-
ate coaches for white and colored
people in this state, Jones voted to
kill the bill and have no separate
coaches. 1t was said to have been the
first separate coach bill ever introduce
ed in the South. AS to that, do
not know; but know that it was the
first or among the first, ever intro
duced in South Carolina.
In 1891, when we were again hav-
ing a hard fight, endeavoring to re-
lieve the white ladies, your wives,
your mothers, your daughters and
your sweethearts. from riding in the
same coach, in a seat right next to

Green Pond, in the midst Of a crowd
Of drunken negroes, who violently
pushed and jostled her, abused her
with menacing speeches, using pro-
fame and obscene language, etc. The
agent Of the company ran off, telling
her that he was going to get his pistol,
but he never returned, leaving this
lady there among that throng of
drunken negroes. She brought suit
against the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road and the jury gave her a verdict
for $4,000. A motion for a new trial
was made and Judge Dantzler refused
1t. But, 10 and behold, when the dis
tinguished corporation lawyer, Jones,
wrote the opinion of the court and said
among other things: TT is not the

decently treated by corporation, Of
all the money which a jury Of her
county had given her and which that
just and Christian judge, Dantzler,
had sustained. We find Justice (now
chief justice) Gary dissenting from
Jones. Again, Corporation Jones saw
ed the corporations $4,000. and the
poor white lady, insulted by a crowd

livered. The jury gave her a verdict
which Judge Ernest Gary upheld. But.
10 and behold, when 1t got to the su-

an opinion in which he set aside the
verdict, making the poor widow pay
the costs, Notwithstanding the fact that

be- it is not as bad as "Jonesism," and
that Blease, when acting in any public
capacity, or in private life, has never
endeavored to force social equality
among the white ladies and children
of this country, with the negro men,
and that Jones has done so, and that
Blease has always worked for the in

ignorant of his candidates record) en-
deavored to mislead the people, to
whom he sent that letter, by stating
something in it which was absolutely
untrue and not borne out by the rec
ords of the legislature.
He says, (writing of Jones and him
self, I'VE were both in the house as
Tillmanites;" which, 1 think is true,
judging by the votes which Jones al
ways voted, and particularly his NOM
ination speech in seconding Col Irby
for the United States senate against
Gen. Wade Hampton, for which have
no criticism to make of him, but only
mention it in order that the records
may be kept straight-he having been
elected speaker, to succeed Col. Irby,
which was part of his reward for his
speech, and for his support of Col
Irby against Gen. Hampton. / think he

the bench as a circuit judge for his
entire lifetime, for the services which
he had rendered, and because of the
fact that his record as judge was pure

ment and strong ability; yet Jones
voted to retire him to private life, that
he might die as a private citizen,
heart broken, conscious of the fact
that his services had been so little ap-

I regret to go into these matters.
Two years ago we had a clean cam
paign, a crowd Of gentlemen running
for governor, and on so high plane
was the campaign that when one
would finish his speech, he would go
back to the hotel, out on the street
with his friends or somewhere in
shady nook for rest, because he knew
that his opponents were not going to
say one word about him or make any
criticism Of his public or private rec
ord. 1t was a pleasant race; 1t was
free from abuse and vituperation, and
II had the privilege Of choosing,
would choose such a race for this
campaign; but, nine months ago, /
was put on notice of what was coming,
and in the last few months, 1t has been
repeated time and again by abuse Of
me in my absence. and while I regret
the course things have taken, have
conducted myself upon a plain Of dig
nifty, such as Is becoming Of the chief
magistrate Of your state; but the right
of self-defense is prompted by God in
His creation of man; 1t Is guaranteed
in the constitution Of our republic and
Of our state, and presume none would
be so mean as to deprive me Of 1t;
therefore, strike back, and in no un-
certain way. Let the consequences be
what they may, the responsibility will
rest upon by traducers and those who
have seen fit to vilify and abuse me,
and not upon me and my friends.

CORPORATE CAPITAL vs.. The PEOPLE.

Seathins Attack on Record OF Judge
Jones, in Carefully Prepared Paper
JUDGE Jones Makes Reply in
Which He Admits Some Things But
Justifies His Conduct as Having been
Dictated by Integrity Of Purpose and
His Best Judgment.
Fellow Citizens: For six months be-
fore the opening Of this campaign, Mr.
Jones, who is a candidate for govern
or. has been going around throughout
the state, calling me an anarchist, and
those who support me, anarchists, and
denouncing what he termed "Blease-
ism" as anarchy.
1 have also made many speeches
throughout the state, but have never,
on any occasion, called his name or
made reference whatever to his per-
sonal or political records, because
did not consider it gentlemanly or
honorable to abuse man, or to criti-
else him harshly, where he had no
opportunity to make reply; but, on
the contrary, have conducted my cam
paign upon a high an honorable plane.
In my opening speech at Sumter,
did not make any reference to any
special candidate in this race, nor did
1 make any attack upon the record OF
any of them. The attacks which were
in minds
Of the people. None can say that
have brought about the personal feel
ing which Is in this campaign, nor can
anyone say truthfQlly that have con-
descended to the plane Of blackguard
or a blatherskite, but have conducted
my campaign strictly as a gentleman
should do, and whatever may be the
future results of this campaign, or
whatever low plane 1t may be thrown
upon, personally or politically, none
can say that it was brought about by
me and my friends. God Almighty has
never planted in the breast of man
higher or more holier spirit than that
by which he is prompted to resist
oppression, when one is attacked, none
would be so cowardly as to deprive
him of the right to strike back in his
own defense; hence, what I am going
to say now is in the defense of my
self The term, "Bleaseism," was not
originated by me; therefore, I am not
responsible for its use.

Mr.. Editor my appeal is not to the
SOCIAL climber" nor to the rich, 1t is to
those who know what 1t Is to
live miserable and not know why, to
work and save and yet gain nothing.
Be we, my friend not hoodwinked or
deceived as to the real issue in this
campaign.
Farmers and workinsmen, you are
the hard handed creators Of all the
fortunes of the Morsans and Rookie
feIIers. It is your labor which gives
value to the heaped up wealth Of this
world, and you should demand a fair
share Of the wealth which you create
for your own comfort and the happi-
ness Of your wives and children. Will
you by your votes endorse the pluto
Gratis who own the courts, control the
political parties, the daily newspapers
and the Industrial and commercial
system Of the nation? II so, then vote
for Jones, and thereby help rivet for
over the chains that bind you.
My dear Mr. Editor while you were
quoting the Bible permit me to call
your attention to the third chapter Of
Micah, verses ten and eleven.
"They build up Zion with blood and
iniquity. The heads thereof JUDGE
FOR REWARD, and tho Priest thereof
teach for hire, and MONEY; Yet will
they lean upon the Lord and say: Is
NOT THE LORD AMONG Us7 NONE
EVIL CAN COME UPON U.s."

WHEN MAKING NOODLES
FOR BEST RESULTS, TRY THESE
APPROVED RECIPES.
Little Accessories That Give Flavor to
the Soup Are Well Worthy of
Attention-How Some Han
die the Dough.

The following recipes represent the
experience of several noodle makers,
as described by them:
Noodle Soup.-Boil q small shank Of
beef for three hours, strain off liquor,
return to the pot, and add salt. Make
noodles by rubbing into one egg as
much flour as it will take, then roll
out as thin as a wafer. Dust over a
little flour and then roll. Cut off thin
slices from the edge of the roll and
shake out into long strips. Drop light
ly into soup and let it boil for ten min
utes. after they are put in. About a
saltspoon of salt should be added while
mixing in the flour.
Bread Noodles.-One egg, one table
spoon of water, pinch of salt, one-half
cup flour, or enough to thicken. Put
scant one-half cup of flour in a bowl
and break into it an egg. Add water,
stir all well together and add more
flour until a thick dough is formed,
then roll out to a thin sheet and let
dry few minutes. Dredge with lit
tie flour, roll up and cut into broad
strips and lay them straight to dry.
Drop in boiling water with pinch of
salt and boil for twenty minutes. Drain
in colander, put in dish, and cover with
Drowned bread crumbs and little
butter.
NoodIes.-One egg, one-fourth tea
spoon of salt, three-fourths cup of
flour. Beat the egg, add salt, and add
the -four to make a stiff dough-three-
fourths of a cup is usually sufficient.
Roll out on a Toured board till as thin
as a wafer and leave on board to dry
while soup is cooking. Then cut up in
little thin strips and drop in boiling
stock. Let boil about thirty minutes.
Some cooks after rolling out their
noodle dough hang it over roller or
over clean cloth on a broomstick to
dry. Of course eggs are in different
sizes, so it is impossible to tell the
exact amount of flour that any one egg
will require.

INCREASE In NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one Of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
of all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands, big margin of profit
Of course there were many farmers
who We're fortunate enough to harvest
and market big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and flax marketed to the 1st of
January, 1912 there was a gross rev.
enue OF $75,384,000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to s101 $4,000 or 81 million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about 95 million bushels of wheat
worth at least another sixty-f1ye mil
lion dollars (allowing for inferior
grades, besides about 100 million
bushels of oats to say nothing of bar
ley and fax, which would run into sew
eral million Of dollars.
There Is great thrush of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards of 131, 900 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state IN the
Union contributed. A larger number.
not caring to go so far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with a reasonably early spring, it
is safe to predict a record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
and secure copy.

Income Tax Briefs Filed.

That the fourteenth amendment of
the federal constitution prohibits grad
uated or progressive features in the
taxation of property is one of the prin-
cipal contentious of Harry w. Bolens
of Port Washington in his brief filed
in support of his motion for a rehear-
ing of the income tax case. This law
was recently declared constitutional
by the Wisconsin supreme court.
Carpenter & Poss, Bolen's attorneys,
declare further that the meaning of
the word income" as used in that
amendment, must be determined by
the court and not by act of Iegisla-
ture. The law is also declared to i'm
pair the obligations of contracts.
The reply of the attorney general,
filed by Deputy Attorney General Rus
sell Jackson, asserts the state consti-
tuition expressly authorized a gradu-
ated tax on incomes; that the act does
unfairly discriminate against resi-
dents in taxing non-residents and that
the provisions of the act whose valid
ity the court didn't decide, were not
an inducement to the act

paign committee, sent out blanks for
petitions for district delegates to the
Republican national convention, also
blanks for delegates at large and and
for presidential nomination prefer
