ON CAMPAIGN
MEETING AT SPARTANBURG
q Possao-Prtnoe was destroyed BY fire.

ity. Evans has made statements that
can not be printed because they are
libelous and the attorney general pro-
poses by bringing the action against
him to test the new libel law, enacted
by the 1912 legislature. ...r
Didn't Sign 172 Bills
"You talk about your great COVER
nor" said Judge Jones in his speech
yesterday, and he> charged that the
governor had failed to do his duty
when he did not aftix his signature
to 172 bills enacted by the Legislature
this year, one of which he said, was
bill to require railroads to furnish
passenger coaches with dressing
rooms for ladies! Judge Jones yes.
terday repeated his offer Of 500 fol
the man who would furnish him with
an affidavit from Senator Tillman tc
the effect that he considered John I
Duncan or Cole L. Blease "eminently
qualified" to fill the governors chair
He also repeated his request for some
one to tell him what Governor Blease
had done for the poor man. ,
:, Pun Against Blease
Judge Jones pulled off" an anus,
ing pun when he showed his pocket
cork screw, and said it was the only
weapon he carried ON his person, add
ing: "I don't need it to open beer bot,
ties, but I will carry 1t when l follow
his political bier"
Local Incidents Mentioned
Governor Blease mentioned the re-
cent meeting at which. Mayor Grace
of Charleston, spoke, and also the re
cent "dictagraph sensations" II
which Sam J. Nichols, the Spartan
bsrg attorney, figured so prominently
Somebody asked me why they
didn't serve brains. with the eggs,
said Governor Blease, referring to thu
hurling of eggs at Mayor Grace, "and
I told him that the Jones crowd .didn'
have the brains" III
Governor Blease was referring tc
the conflicts between the courts and
the governor, and he said that Judge
Jones had tried to make him do the
will of the supreme court and that. ne
had replied to him:"Old man, you &c
back and put on your robe and come
again" ...
AS an illustration of the political
feeling in the city of spartanburg "a
boarding house at 229 East Main
street had large banner over the
front door with large red and blue
letters reading "27 votes in this house
for law, order and JONES'" and an
other house. 258 East Main, had the
sign in the front reading: "This house
for Jones'" Many Blease supporters
wore red ribbons labelled for the gov.
ernor and many Jones supporters hao
white badges bearing the name of the
former chief justice.
1t was one of the largest campaign
crowds, assembled in one Of the larg'
est counties. a county polling an ex'
ceptionally large vote, and a county
in which political feeling has beer
aroused to an unusually high pitch
and yet there was not one incident tc
cast blot upon the proceedings o.
the day.

News Snapshots
Of the Week

wyatt A. Taylor in Columbia Record)
Spartanburg, Aug. 10:-The .revela-
ton OF the fact that w. P. Beard, ed
itor of The News Scimiter, who has ac--
companied Governor Blease on a good
part of the campaign, is deputy chief
constable of the State; the bowling,
seething mob of Blease supporters;
the intensity of the political situation;
the good order that prevailed, encour-
aged by the vigilance Of the Spartan
burg police, assisted by hundred and
fifty extra policemen; the presenta-
ticn of Governor Blease with silver
loving cup, the gift of his Spartan
burg friends, and silk umbrella, the
gift of Pacolet friends, and the hum
orous parts of Judge Jones' and Gov
ernor Blease's speeches were features
of the campaign which were newly
brought out, at the meeting here yes
terday. There were people here from
all over Spartanburg county and mapy
from neighboring counties. and the
day was one of the most intensely in
teresting days that Spartanburg has
seen in many years. Politics was the
universal topic of conversation and on
the street corners and in every home
and place of business men, women and
children were talking" Blease and
Jones. The speech of the governor was
what attracted large part OF the
crowd to the speaking" and his
friends were not disappointed, for his
speech was full of the governors
characteristic references to his oppon-
ent and all persons not Of like, politi-
cal sentiment with him.
Another "RumOro x
The governor told Of another rumor
that he has heard recently. One ru-
NOR that he said recently had come
to his ears was that he would be as
sassinated when he went to Gaffney.
The rumor he told Of yesterday was
concerning w. J. Massee, the Macon,
Georgia, man who was this week re-
leased by Judge Sease after a hear
ing on habeas corpus proceedings,
Massee having been arrested in this
city and requisition for his return
to Tennessee, where he was wanted
in slander suit, having been honored
by Governor Blease. The rumor was
that Massee had paid Governor Blease
81, 900 to pass the case up to Judge
Sease and have nothing to do with 1t
himself. This the governor denied
strongly and he branded as falsifier
the man who started 1t. He did not
give the name Of the person who had
told him of the rumor.
Besides the contest between Judge
Ira B. Jones and Governor Blease, one
of the features Of the meeting here
was the announcement by Attorney
General Lyon that he will prosecute
Ffor libel Barnard Bee Evans, candi-
date for the office Of attorney general,
who has denounced in such vitrolic
and scandalous terms attorneys OF
Saluda, the present attorney general,
Sheriff Samples and other citizens OF
Saluda county, and many other per-
sons for whom he has no special am

handsome school building, which the

town many times. the size OF McCor-

! The stay at Mccormick was curtail-
ed by the coming Of a heavy rain,
which. called for the attachment OF
mud chains. 49,. - ..;s ~. .L.t.5.s-iI. - ~
One good feature of the trip was the
fact that no accident of a serious ma
ture marred the pleasure; OF the occas-
ion. Of course, there were one or two
punctures and a few blow-outs, but
nothing that could be classed as a
real breakdown occurred. .,z.l
Taken as a whole, the crops in the
section traversed by the Boosters
were very good. Though in some
places cotton was small, it showed a
healthy condition. Prospects appear
good for a. crop of about average pro-
portions. 1s ~ =;
While there are some bad spots in

Sixteen cars containing about 20
enthusiastic boosters for Abbeville,
left the square last Thursday morn
ing for trip through the southern
part Of the county. The, procession
was headed by Mayor c.. c. Gambrell
and was in charge of MIR. r. L. OAR
gan, as chief marshal, ...-
The first leg Of the trip was COM
pleted, when the party reached Cal
houn Falls, where stop OF about an
hour was had for. the purpose OF get
ting acquainted and partaking or, re-
freshments. The stop at this thriving
little town. was thoroughly enjoyed
by every member Of the party. The
Abbeville boosters were cordially re-
ceived by the people OF Calhoun Falls
and there was pleasant comming-
ling which, will no doubt prove val
liable in strengthening the ties OF
Friendship between the folks OF Cal
houn Falls.
Up to this point the trip had been
extremely pleasant, but on leaving
Calhoun Falls, the dust added great
ly to the discomfort of the Boost
ers" until a refreshing shower inter-
vened to put stop to this objection
able feature. =, - y,
Mt. Carmel was the next point at
which the party stopped. Here, though
the stay was quite brief the Boost
ers' were made to feel thoroughly at
home. 80, ="
At Wilmington, most Of the people
were In attendance at the county cam
paign meeting, and, as the, rain was,
by this time, beginning to come down
quite steadily, the party tarried only
a very short time.
