s.Sam Jones told a man the other
day" he said, ''that l was dishonest.
IF Sam Jones will prove 1 ever beat
ANYBODY out of their house rent l will
give him S1OO, and that is more than
he can say. That is the way they are
fighting me-"
Governor Blease said they had a
paper over in Lancaster, and he want
ed to show the country people what
Charlie Jones, Judge Jones son had
done. He said he had copy of the
Lancaster paper before him of August
3, and another of the same paper Of
August 3, and one had the Grace negro
story in it, and the other did not.
Charlie" he said, "sent that paper out
through Lancaster county, sent that
paper out to people who he thought
could stand it, and when it came to the
town of Lancaster they issued another
paper tae same day and left out the
/. Grace negro story" He said it was
cut out of the town issue to protect the
people of the town and Ira B. Jones
friends and their little girls from read
ing this dirty filth. THAT is the kind
of fight the Jones family is making"
he said.
He presented Judge Jones a pamph-
let telling him that was the paper he
had issued dealing with Jones record.
s'Now," said Gov. Blease, here is a
letter signed by Jones-this is not
signed by 'Pussy-foot Bill" but signed
by Ira B. He says, The charges
which Gov. Blease has trumped up
against me are made only to fool peo-
ple and catch votes and are false and
absurd Now, if Judge Jones tomor-
row at Laurens-I won't ask him to do
il at nv own home-there is his letter
saying it is false, signed by his own
hand, there is the record l sent out-if
Judge Jones will put his finger On
single word of it or a single vote in it
J that is false l will quit the race for
governor, and if he don't do it ] pro-
pose to tell the people of South Caro-
lima that he has sent lie throughout
this State with his name signed to it.
Gov. Blease said he had filed an afi-
dayit a week ago from Mr.. Fred. H.
Dominick and himself that they had
, received no corporation money or 9TH
er campaign contributions, that they
had no hirelings going over the State
to fight Jones, and that they didn't
have a paid State campaign manager
or paid county campaign managers.
81 challenged Judge JONES'" he said,
s'to make a similar affidavit, and he
hasn't done it, and he cant do it.
The governor then real a lettaT he
said he had received the day before,
. and ne wanted the news2apaS mel to
note the letter, and if "Pussy-foot Bill"
denied it the man wh.1 Hrote it would
give him the finest whipping he ever
got in Edgefeld county. You know"
he said, "Pussy-foot" killed man once
and Jones boss campaign manager,
Leroy Springs, killed a man once, and
if it had not been for their money and
influence both of them would have
been in the penitentiary." The letter
he read was to the effect that one
wfIenry Kearsey had been employed to
distribute Jones buttons and plead for
votes at $3.50 day and expenses; that
Henry used to be we'll Off Suntil they
got prohibition in Augusta and ran
him out of business, that he had lost
aut and was being hired to work for
Jones, but that the governor need not
be uneasy, that Henry was too we'll
Unknown to do Jones any good. That"
said the governor, shows whether
they are hiring men to go over the
