CES ARREST AT AIKEIN MEETIING ?Mj'olton Mill Km ploy e" Scores Mease's ?Urse hi Asking Tin.? Questioner he Removed* Po tho Editor of The State: I notice by today's papers that yes terday's campaign meeting at Alken was reported as being a Blease meet ing. Prom the standpoint of noise it was, but from the standpoint of votes it was not. Tho Jones men antici pated their move by scattering men through the crowd to find out where the Blease supporters came from. Wo know that Saludo furnished 60, Edge field 40. Barnwoll 7r., Columbia i<>. and AugUStO 200, making a total of 450 Hlease phonographs that can not vote In Alken county. These men were instructed how to vote in the hand primaries, viz.: by putting both hands up. Then there were lots of women and children who voted the same way. so you can readily see that when you eliminate these socalled votes, he had a very slim showing in deed. Hut the most important happening at the meeting was In some way over looked by the correspondent. You mentioned that some one who inter rupted Oov. Hlease was arrested ami hustled away from the crowd. The man that was arrested was P, It. Beaufort, a prominent merchant of this town and a nephew by marriage of Judge Jones. Mr. Beaufort was sitting with his wife ami some of the most prominent ladies in Alken, and when Blenso mad" his remarks about .lodge Jones being in favor of social equality, he wanted to know why Hlease had vtotcd for Judge Jones after he had voted against the "Jim Crow" car bill. Blease did not reply to this question, and Mr. Heaufort re peated the question, then Hlease turn ed to the chairman and demanded that the man Interrupting him he stopped, then faced the audience and pointing and looking at Mr. Heaufort said: "Arrest that man." Me con tinued looking and pointing until two special policemen, both ardent Hlease men, rushed up. grabbed Mr. Heau fort and dragged him through the crowd as though he had committed a most heinous crime. When he got clear of the crowd Mr. Heaufort gave bond and was released, but another Citizen of our town came near being ?arrested by the same officers, merely because he came up to offer financial assistance to Mr. Heaufort in ease he needed it. This was nothing short of a high handed outrage, as Mr. Heaufort or any other voter has a right to ask Blenso, Jones of any other candidate questions; and they should not ap ear in public and ask to he elected to of- j i lice and receive the people's money as a salary unless they expect to bo 11 asked questions, and to answer thorn as well, which Hlease failed to do in this case This is a free country and we have a right to free speech, yet here WO see the governor of the State having a man arrested for asking him a question, that lie i Hlease) did not care to answer. Isn't that a nice ex ample for him to set? We can not biomo the city officials, as they apologized to Mr. Heaufort ami returned the money that he had put up as bond. In fact, they were not responsible for his arrest. This action, entirely uncalled for, as it was on the part of the governor, has made the citizens of this town, as well as in other places, very Indignant Cotton Miii Employe Oranltcvillo, July l'T. ?

The following account of high-hand ed steam roller methods was taken from the Augusta Chronicle Saturday, the victim of steam roller tactics this time being an old Laurens boy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cresswell Garl Ington, of this city: Atlanta, da., July 2t>.?Representa tive Sam Garltngton of Richmond was directly in the path of the house steam roller this morning, but he stood with out flinching until he ?ot the flatten ing out he knew had been scheduled His disaster came In an effort to Itnve the session of the house extended for thirty minutes to pass three meas ures recommended by his committee, :ho motion to that effect losing 81 to Ml". Garlington, however, availed timself of the opportunity to voice iis protest against the wall interposed 0 certain legislation by the rules ?otnmitj ee. "I think the cry here that certain ucnsiiros could not be passed in an txtcndod session of thirty minutes, on he complaint that there wasn't siifli ?ient time for proper consideration, is iheer buncombe," said tlx' Richmond lu mber with considerable heat. "I sit tore and see the time of this house aken up with long-winded discussion )t' such measures as the 'Pippins bill >r the dog tax, while measures of vital Interest and concern to the con stituency of some of us Is choked to death in the rules committee or by the tact that our bills are so far down on the calendar there is no hope of reaching them, What chance does the member, whoso county is way down in the alphabet ?R, S, T, etc.?stand to get his bills thiough unless the rules committee sees fit to let him have a show? If this sort of tiling is to continue I think we had as well close down right now and go home."
