ton and Judge W. H. Wallace, speaker
of The famous '76 Wallace House.
"Not only did he vote against Judge
Wallace's promotion to the Associate
Justiceship," said the Governor, but
he even voted against his continuance
as a Circuit Judge" AS to the Hamp-
ton-Irby vote, Governor Blease pre-
sented the same argument and read
the letter from Gen Wade Hampton
all of which was fully quoted and ex-
plained in the News and Courier's re-
port of the Columbia meeting.
The Governors references to Judge
Wallace as leader for white supren-
acy in South Carolina were in line
with many of his attacks upon Judge
Jones, namely, that his opponent is not
a white mans man." In the same
strain, touching upon the separate
coach law, he brought in a recital OF
Gen Mart Gary's noted stand here in
Edgefield in '76
Said Governor Blease: "On election
day, in 1876, it was agreed between
Gen. Rugar of the Federal army, and
Gen Mart Gary, county Democratic
chairman, that the whites should vote
at the court house and the negroes
should vote at the school house. Every
thing went we'll until the negroes real
lied that they could not all vote at one
poll and appealed to the Yankees. Gen
Rugar went to Gen Gary and said:
General, am Informed by the Repub-
lican chairman that all of the negroes
cannot vote at the school house and
shall require you to make the whites
give way and let the negroes get to
the ballot box
Zone was clad in the blue uniform
of the United States army and had
been sent to Edgefield by President
Grant. The other was clothed in the
tattered garments of the confederate
soldier. 1t was crucial test of nerve,
South Cardinals destiny hung in the
balance, and Mart Gary saved her.
| Did he stop to think of consequences?
| Did he stop to think that he might be-
put in Federal prison or even lose
his life? Indeed not. The old Bald
Eagle Strengthened up, and with the
fires of '65 flashing in his eyes, ex-
claimed: BY God, sir, 1 won't do it,
and he did not do it.
Judge Jones" said the speaker, "is
no more excusable for opposing the
Jim crow law than Gen Gary would
have been had he cowardly yielded to
Yankee general. The solicitors of
the State are sent to Columbia at each
session of the legislature to pass upon
the constitutionality of bills and it is
absurd for Jones to excuse his vote by
saying it was unconstitutional"
The Governors references to "nig-
gers" and lynching were, as usual,
loudly applauded, as were also his ref
erence to Mr. ]. w. Thurmond, when
he spoke of him as PUSSY Foot Bill
He again mentioned the Rawl affidavit
and a letter, in which it was stated
that the mill presidents would address
the workmen in behalf of Judge Jones'
candidacy.
From letter written by Mr. Thur
nond Governor Blease read: Call the
honest people are supporting Judge
JONES'"
WELL" said the governor, ut lookes
like there are a lot of them here to-
day that he hasn't got rings in their
noses"
At about this point came the really
interesting feature of the meeting. A
party of young ladies started up and

No man who is innocent would hesitate
to explain his every act and take ref
uge in the plea that it might incrimi-
nate him. That is a stain upon the
governors appointment.
Judge Jones closed with general ap-
plause, much stronger than when he
began. The tone of his speech was
confident and this he impressed upon
his hearers. Two pretty bouquets were
presented him. Governor Blease, re-
ceived with rousing cheers from his
friends, who were collected for the
most part about the stand, said he did
not wish to do Edgefeld an injustice,
nor did he wish Judge Jones to do it,,
so he called upon all in the audience
who were not Edgefeld people to hold
up their hands. About twenty-five held
up their hands.
"Now, Mr.. JONES'" said the governor,
"your newspapers can record the fact
that this is an Edgefeld audience"
Governor Blease even asked any
Edgefeld man who happened to know
that there were foreigners who did
not hold up their hands to say so.
None responded.
Governor Blease charged that Judge
Jones was among those who voted to
retire from office Senator Wade Hamp-

What Evans Claims.
Mr.. Evans claimed that the $4,000
item was part of the $4,000 appropria-
ton given the attorney general for
prosecuting the graft cases, turned
back into the treasury. He mentioned
some item of s31,976 as cash still on
hand, the upshot of which compilation
was that deducting this item from the
total of 100000, as he figured it, his
contention that only $4,000 had
reached the State treasury was cor
rect.
'Now, I have him in a hole," said
Mr.. Evans; Lets see if he will get
out, or if have to run him out with
a hot stick"
Mr. Lyon was rdesirous of making
reply On the ground that Mr.. Evans
had introduced new matter, stating to
the chairman. that he merely wished
to state that the $12,500 item quoted
was not a part of the fund provided
for prosecution of graft cases, but was
that collected from the Blocks, of Ma
con, due from their dealings with the
Richland Distilling company, and that
he knew of no such item of s31,976
cash on hand
But Chairman Nicholson, upon in
quiry as to the rules, decided that Mr..
Lyon had not the right of reply. 1t is
recalled that the s12,5O0 is half of the
fund collected from the Blocks by the
commission appointed by Governor
Blease, and that the other half was
paid to Col. B. L. Abney.
Mr.. Lyon afterwards stated that of
the $4,000 prosecution fund, $1,000
was to his credit in the treasury. Up
on the conclusion of Mr.. Evans's re-
ply, there were mixed cheers for Ev-
ans and Lyon, those for the latter pre-
dominating.

The day was conductive to elo-
quence. Mr.. Thos. H. Peoples sur
passed himself and won loud applause.
Mr.. S. T. Carter was in fine form and
was the recipient of his first flowers,
and Major Jno. G. Richards, Jr., wax
ed eloquent in his tribute to the fair

When the candidates for governor
spoke the crowd had swelled to posi-
bly, 900 or more Both Judge Jones
and Governor Blease were dssailed in
slight degree by questioners and in
terrupted by cheers for the opposi-
ton.
Judge Jones devoted much more
time today than usual to discussing
his advocacy of the Torrens system of
land registration, to give a basis of
credit to the farmers; the employers
liability for the protection of textile
workmen; the betterment of rural

NO WATER FOR THREE YEARS

Some interesting stories OF explora-
tion in the Sonora desert of Mexico,
parts OF which no white man had ever
penetrated we're recently related by
DR.. Karl Lumholtz to the Royal Geo
graphical society. Dr. Lumholtz said
that scarcity OF water was the great
problem. The strange thing was that
the flora and fauna did not seem TO
suffer from this aridity. In spite of
the lack of rain during the winter
previous to his visit to the sand dunes,
during spring, he found at one place
an astonishing growth of flowers,
through which they Travelled for near
ly three miles; and it had been found
by actual experiment that small ro-
dents of arid regions had been able
to live for two or three years on hard
seeds without water. The conditions
in the sand dunes near the coast were,
II possible. even more remarkable.
Here, as soon as athe uncertain rains
of winter had made the plants
green" as the Mexicans say, the cat
tie and horses were driven there and
remained three emonths-from February
to the end of May-absolutely without
water. In his travels IL was the usual
thing during the winter time for the
animals to go without water every
second day.

Convict Ship Success.

impossible for the authorities to cope
ants who infested the district.
At last the suggestion was made
that some of the vessels then lying at
anchor in the bay, deserted by cap
tains and crews, who had all joined in
the headlong rush for the "diggings,"
should be utilized as prison hulks.
Five full-rigged vessels, among them
the Success, were selected. OF these
yellow frigates," as they were called,
the Success was officially regarded
as the flagship of the felon fleet She
was known as the awful dark cell
drill' ship. and between her decks
were lodged a company of close
cropped villains, the very scum of all
the lawless men concentrated in that
district.
The Success was a convict ship un-
I'll 1857, when the terrible cruelties of
the system aroused the English peo.
pie to action. She was removed from
Williamstown to Sandridge in 1857,
and from 1860 to 1868 was used as a
"woman's prison" The following year
the ship was used as a sort of re.
formatory for boys.
Late in 1890 the Success first ap-
peared before the public as a ship
on show. Her general structure is
well worthy of description.
The ships external appearance is
particularly striking In these days OF
ocean greyhounds Her square-cut
stern and quarter galleries stamp her
at once with the hallmark of an
tlquity, and her bluff bow shows that
she could never have distinguished
herself for high rate of speed.
Her tonnage may be taken at $50.
She Is 1856 feet In length. about 20
feet beam, copper fastened, and "tre-
nailed" throughout. Her solid sides
are two feet SIX inches in thickness
at the bilge SO that prisoners from
within recoiled from the hopeless task
Of penetrating her walls.

What little work needs to be done
on the island seems to be done by
the women; the men are apparently
too deeply occupied In exhibiting
themselves TO the other members OF
the community. Their costumes may
be said to consist of loin cloth, which
is really the only article of actual
dress they have; however, to make
up for the lack of tailor-made gar
ments, the rest of the body is fairly
covered with miscellaneous ornaments.
Every man has around his forehead a
large number of dogs teeth made
into a necklace: these teeth are look

the desire not to be without them is

was watched to prevent the thief or
thieves from taking their capture

eight.weeks-old leopard, which has
been since its birth the mascot of the

During the day time il has been
placed in an open box near the en-

When the attendant returned to re-

mother he found II had disappeared.

BRITISH HULK
PRISON CRAFT
Used as Jail During the Gold Rush
to Australia

Boston.-The liner Laconia on her
last arrival at the port OF Boston re-
ported exchanging wireless messages
with the British convict hulk Success.
This indicates that what has been
termed the most remarkable ship
that has visited England since the
days of the slave trade" Is bound for
American ports, presumably Boston or
New York, on an exhibition cruise
similar to that made In British waters
during the past sixteen years.
The Success sailed from Australia
on its long exhibition cruise in 1895.
She has dropped anchor at practically
every port of England. The vessel

strange, ffction-like history. and con-
tsins collection Of relics of the
brshranging days of Australia. AT
each port attendants explain the ex-
hibits and descriptive lectures are Civ.
en- on the various phases of convict
life.
The history of the Success as a
convict ship dates back to the mad
rush In search of wealth that fol-
lowed the discovery Of the Australian
goldfields in 1851. Port Williamstown,
nine miles distant from Melbourne,
was filled with every variety of craft
beaEing immigrants. One day, looming
above all other ships, came a quaint,
old full-rigged vessel, with apple sides,
broad bulging bows, standing high out
of che water, and the name Success"
displayed the full width of her square
cut stern, over the windows and be-
low the taffrail. She proved to be
''country-built" East Indiaman. She
dropped anchor midst the army of
white wings which then dotted the
harbor.

that resulted from the sudden influx
Of immigration. murder and crime

The island of Star, which is less
