none of the usual academic

of crop production, horticulture,
animal husbandry, dairying, etc
Agricultural arithmetic and sim

more ientific farmers, and

CHARLESTON MEETING

Kissing was more freely resort

Judge Jones devoted some
portion of his time to a reply IN
detail to Blease's speech at Blsh-
opN lille.
The governor made his usual
declaration regarding negroes,
lynching and other matters, but
gave his attention principally to
points of local interest in Char

esting statements We're made in
response to questions from the

Judge Jones or Gov. Blease to

policy as we'll as of prudence,
not to attempt a speech. judge
Jones, however, did not finch
from the ordeal presented. He
laid before the people all of his
argument that the people would
hear. Neither candidate was
able to control his supporters in
the crowd, though Blease I'M
plored his friends not to give oc-
casion for the accusation which
had been made against Blease
men elsewhere, of bowling his
opponent down and Judge Jones
after complimenting the citizens
of Clarendon county upon their
love of free speech and fair play
said he would guarantee Blease
a respectful hearing.

Gov. Blease took up then the
Grace matter. When elected

Charleston and offered a posi-
ton on his staff to his friend, l..
G. 4. Roessler of this city. Mr..
Roessler said: NO, l don't
want the position > But the
governor insisted he must take
it. Mr.. Roessler urged him to
give the place to John P. Grace.
The governor said: I can't do
it, because Grace has never been
my friend" Mr.. Roessler said
Mr.. Grace had supported the
governor in his second race.
Mr.. Roessler said he himself
had a particular reason for ask
ing that Mr.. Grace be appointed.
Later Mr.. Grace and Mr..
Roessler had a conversation
with the governor at the St.
John hotel, the upshot of which
was that Mr.. Grace was made
lieutenant colonel on the
Governor s staff, However the
governor received a letter from
Mr.. Grace urging him to make
an exception on his request and
commissio1 a negro, S. w.
Bennett, as notary public.
This was after the general dis
missa! Of notaries public. The
governor refused to appoint the
negro, and thus the break with

There not much of fight however, and when
two ballots disclosed Marshall easily in the lead Gov.
Burkes withdrawn and Marshall pro-
claimed the nominee by accamation.
Gov Wilson nominated at the afternoon session
the 10th ballot and his nomnatolike that of Gov.
Marshall tonight quickly made unanimous. The
best of feelings pervaded both sessions.
DEADLOCK BROKEN.
The first notable break came when Illinois decided
to it's IS for Wilson. This followed by.
the Withdrawal of Congressman Underwood and Gov.
Foss the 46th ballot, the fourth of the day. Gov.
Wilson swept the convention, polling 800 votes. The
nomination then made unanimous. The vote
the 18TH ballot stood: Wilson $780, Clark 49, Harmon H.
Necessary to nominate, 728.
