He was a candidate for re-election and he pleaded earnestly with the crowd to hear him. but Blease men in the crowd, knowing the supervisor to have been a Jones supporter, refused to let him be heard. Following his vain attempt to be heard. Mr Goodwin was stricken with apoplexy on the stand. He was hur ried to the city and given every atten tion. but the shock was to severe for him to survive.

Carolina is in an uproar today as a re ■ suit of the decision of the state execu ; tive committee to postpone the second primary for state officers while the ; fraud investigation goes on. In Anderson and other counties where the lines are bitterly drawn there is likely to be serious trouble unless the governor's race is decided soon. The Anderson county executive com mittee is examining witnesses today in the fraud allegations. The state committee, which met here yesterday to begin its investigation of fraud charges, named a sub-committee of seven to thoroughly probe the re cent primary. The sub-committee was clothed with full power and authority to take testi mony and make a thorough investiga tion of all alleged illegal practices at the primary. It will report at the next meeting of the committee to be called by the chairman. The members of the committee are W. F. Stevenson. Chesterfield, chair man; T. B. Butler, Cherokee; J. B. Parks. Greenwood: W. B. Wilson, Jr., York; J. R. Bivens. Dorchester; J. M. Greer. Union, and R. M. Jeffries, Jas per. The protests of W. Jasper Talbert and ,N. B. Dial, candidates for the United States senate, against the nom ination of Senator B. R. Tillman, on the ground that he failed to silo his ex pense account as provided by law, were passed over until the next meeting. The state committee adjourned to meet at the call of the state chairman and the sub-committee will begin the work of investigation at an early date It Is certain that the Blease faction will do all in its power to prevent an investigation. Eugene Blease. brother of the governor, laid the fraud at the door of the Jones faction, but at the same lime bitterly fought a resolution which had for its object a searching investigation into the alleged irregular, ities at the ballot boxes. Every county was represented at the meeting. Anderson Center Os Carolina Storm ANDERSON, S. Sept. s.—Before the Anderson county executive com mittee today a sub-committee submit ted evidence to the effect that minors, Republicans, Georgians and reneaters 1 swelled the vote in the recent state primary. It is alleged that 500 fraud ulent votes were cast in the primary in this county alone, which gave Blease a 2.500 majority out of 8,000 votes. Specific instances of fraud were re ported to the committee and action will be taken this evening Lines were sharply drawn between the Blease and Jones factions when the committee met. and hundreds of • men from the country an here v.atch -1 ing the committee's work. \nderson county is the center of the storm over the allegations of fraud. i Governor Rleaso is represented by I counsel of this cit\. while the Jones > forces secured lawyers from other w 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE MORRIS Sffi BUP.VDTERS MffIEROWS INGILIVffI On Stand in Blue Ridge Judge ship Contest, He Denies All Fraud Charges. DECLARES DEMOCRATS ARE SOLIDLY FOR HIM Patterson Was Aided Greatly by Irregularities in Pickens., Witness Asserts. > Judge Newt Morris took the stand in his own defense, under oath, before the state Democratic committee this morning Immediately after the commit tee was called to order by Charian Har ris, to resume the hearing in the Blue Ridge judgeship contest. The judge spoke in deliberate and clear tones, denying in full all the charges heaped upon him by the pros ecution. Judge Morris denied with great ve hemence that there was any truth in the famous alleged telephone message from Morris to Cox. late on the night of elction, in which Marris is said to hav told Cox that only a big majority in Gilmer county could save the nom ination to Morris, because Patterson was an evident victor elsewhere throughout the circuit. Says Republicans Cause All the Trouble. Morris said the trouble In Gilmer simply is that the Republicans in Gil mer try to run the politics of the Dem ocrats, and when they are not allowed to do it, they get mad and charge fraud. The judge claimed that 90 per cent of the Democrats in Gilmer were for Morris, and that such was a notorious fact in advance of the primary. Judge Morris undertook then to show by figures that had Patterson received every uneast vole on the entire regis tratoin list in Gilmer, regardless of the fact that many of them would have gone to Morris. Morris still would have been a victor over Patterson by not less than 65 votes. The judge then departed somewhat from the main issue and charged that Pickens county, in which not more than a few hundred Democrats lived in any event, went for Patterson by 600, or more than enough un-Democratlc votes in Pickens alone to offset all un-Deml ocratic votes Morris might have re ceived in Gilmer. rhe judge said he thought sorely that it would be unfair to .throw out Gilmer with respect tp Morris, and not throw it out with respect to Pottle and Price in the court of appeals and commis sioner of agriculture races. Declares Democrats of Gilmer Are For Him. Judge Morris ended his statement by declaring that the fight on him in Gil mer was an old one and was fathered entirely by Republicans. He explained that the lines between Democrats and Republicans always were tightly drawn in Gilmer, and that each side generally voted solidly, and that the solid Dem ocratic strength there now is for Mor ris. Upon cross-examination. Judge Mor ris said he did not contest alleged frauds and irregularities in Pickens be cause he considered his nomination safe without the vote of Pickens, and that it was too late, after the Gilmer county contest had been begun. Judge Morris' injection of Pickens county into the hearing brought forth considerable discussion as the relevancy of the Pickens matter in the present hearing. The Patterson attorneys rested their case on evidence introduced to show that the primary of August 21 was il legally held in that improper registra tion lists were used by the election managers, differing from the certified lists in that names of voters known to be for Patterson had been stricken I therefrom and names of voters known I io be for Morris were illegally added I thereto; that non-residents, criminals I anl lunatics were voted for Morris; that ; all efforts to secure a fair and square election in Gilmer were thwarted by the Morris managers, who took entire charge of the polls, and that Gilmet county deliberately and illegally was thrown to Morris, by his partisan Cox, clerk of the court, upon information from Morris that.a big majority from Gilmer was necessary to ensure eiec t ion.
