FIGHTING AGAINST "BLEASEIsN."
So Judge Jones Tells Large Audience
at Gaffney-AddreSses Mill Folks
at Night.

Gaffney, March 11.-Speaking before
a large and enthusiastic audience, the
Hon. Ira 3. Jones, former Chief JUS
tice and now a candidate for governor
of South Carolina, fired his first shot
in the up-country today. Judge Jones
was greeted by a packed house at the
coYrt house. He pointed with pride TO
his record, spoke facetiously OF the
v-report that he was the candidate OF
the newspapers and the aristocrats,
, ,assaiIed Governor Blease's pardon
record, censured his treatment OF the
legislature, defended the court for
their part in the Supreme Court
Blease wrangIe and closed with Caro-
lima
Fighting to Redeem State.
Judge Jones said that he was not
making the race out of spite, but that
he was fighting a battle for the good
name Of South Carolina. He said that
he was actuated by burning desire
to be of service to the State and plead
ed with the voters to rally around the
flag of good government and civic
righteousness and rid the State OF
Bleaseism." He was interrupted by
freouent bursts of applause from the
audience. The distinguished jurist
said that he was in this fight to the
finish. He said, God Almighty hates
gutter, and so do I, and it won't
be said that Jones was gutter"
He said in regard to the report that
he could not carry Lancaster county,
those WHO said it would need their
stthmetic to figure up his majority and
that some people were going to think
a steam roller had passed over them
hefore he was through. When he con-
cluded the court house was shaken
with thunderous applause.
Speaks to Mill Audience
Re spoke again tonight at the Chero-
kee Avenue school to the mill people.
He dwelt at length on the various. rec
sords of the governor and showed the
fallacy of the claim of an economic
administration.
1t is the general opinion here to-
might that the visit of Judge Jones
has been of incalculable benefit to
him. 1t is said that his safe and sane
and conservative speech has made
votes for him in Cherokee. Through
out the day the judge has been busy
shaking hands with his many friends
and making new acquaintances.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. PA sensa-
ton was caused in social and religious
circles here today when it became
known that the Rev. Alfred Gartnett
Mortimer for q years rector of the ex-
elusive St. Mark Episcopal church, has
resigned from his charge and from the
Episcopal diocese OF Pennsylvania, at
the request Of Bishop William Rhine

Although the details have not been
made known, It is revealed that a wom-
an figures in the case. Friends OF the
Rev. DIR. Mortimer, who IS now living
with relatives in Jersey City n. J., de-
clare that the clergyman was compelled
to resign because of I'll health.
DR. Mortimer is q bachelor and "a
years Of age.
The most light was thrown upon the
case by George w. Pepper, one of the
leading Episcopal laymen Of Philadel-
phia, who explained DR.. Mortimer's res
ignation by saying, I'VE found DR.. Nor

Evil Easy to Abate, and viii
End When People Stop to
Think, He Says.

Cecil P. Poole, the new city smoke
and gas inspector who goes into Office
on January /. announced his program
today, declaring that he would enforce
the anti smoke law, bur mat tho pres
ent law was entirely too lid,
He said he would recommend that
the law be strengthened as soon as his
administration was well begun.
Here is What ne says is the principal
cause and the remedy for the smoke
nuisance in Atlanta:
Twill End When People Think"
IF the business men Of Atlanta who
own the smoke producing plants would
only stop to think what nuisance the
smoke is to the average citizen
IF the business men would dismiss
the getting of dollars from their minds
long enough to think how easily smoke
can be prevented
Then the smoke nuisance will be at
an end in Atlanta"
In outlining the program Of mis- work,
Inspector Poole said he expected the
cooperation Of the owners Of all smoke
producers in stopping the nuisance, but
that he was accepting the Office only on
condition that he have authority TO en-
force the law; and that he would make
cases against all owners Of snoke-pro-
ducing plants II thew did not prove
tractable.
"No Excuse For Stationary Plants

Of its size in the country because Of It's

The general opinion prevailed that
verdicts could not be reached until
some time Saturday. The jurymen went
TO bed at II o'clock last night and were
astir at 6 o'clock this morning, when
they could be heard singing cheerful
songs.
Keen but suppressed excitement per
vaded the court room. The defendants
maintained cheerful mood, and an
air of confidence followed Judge Ander-
sons instructions to the jury which
were, with a few minor exceptions. pro-
nounced satisfactory to the defense and
in a great measure offset the sting of
District Attorney Miller's merciless con-
domination in his closing argument.
During the walt for court to open,
the defendants laughed and joked with

Today was the first time during the
entire trial that court was not con-
vened promptly at $3.50, and many,per-
sons regarded it as an indication that a
