Mighty Outpouring 01 The People
The Court House Just Held Halt and They Had
to Adjourn to the Outside
Peebles Attacks Hammond’s Record
Thomson is the Scene of a Splendid Speech Most Enthusias
tically Received- McDuffie Will Certainly Oo For Peebles
Overwhelmingly. Peebles Also Spoke at Several Points in
Columbia County During the Week.
HI t 'IShSBB
HON. ISAAC S. PEEBLES
Tho biggest crowd ever assembled
ut Thomson with one exception.
The occasion of this Immense gath
ering of the people waa to llaten to
the speech of Hon. I. 8. Peebles, who
In a candidate for the judgeship of
tho .Superior Court of the Augusta
Circuit.
By 2:80 Central Time, the time
achoduled lor the a poach, largo
crowd* had gathered on the principal
streets of Thomson. When our auto
mobile reached tho courthouse, It was
found that >1 crowd had already fill
ed me court room amt there wus
Mending room only.
Judge James Burnside called tha
mooting to order nnd In a few appro
priate remarks, presented Mr Peeb
les to the audience. In closing ha
raid: "Mr. Peebles has been criticised
for a lack oT abdominal rotundity;
hut you don’t want a man with a belly
hut a man with a heart nnd a brain,
and that Mr. Peebles had both.”
Adjourn to the Court Yard.
After the hurst of applause that
followed tills, a note was handed
Judge Burnside, who then sal I that
there were about as many people out
side ns in, and he was In favor of giv
ing all a square deal, lie thereupon
put It to a vole, which was unani
mous for adjourning to the court
yard below
Mr. Peebles spoke from the court
aouse glops. After a few pleasing al
lusions to his boyhood days, which
were spent in Thomson, he launched
Into the subject of Ills discourse.
Is the price of the Southern far
mers’ cotton seed too high? asked Mr.
Peebles If so, should tha cotton
sc.nl oil trust ho allowed to fix tiio
price? But they are the purchasers
and you may he sure that If they form
combinations which the Sherman
anti-trust law lisa pronounced against
as Pkely to lessen and defeat compe
tition. In restraint of trade, and tend
ing to set monopoly, they will Inevit
ably tlx the price they pay low
enough to suit the least exacting.
Hammond Sand* Anti Truat Law to
tbs Junk Pile.
But Judge Hammond denounces
anti-trust law*, although It Is his
duty to uphold the laws that are on
. the statute books. He disposes of
the Sherman law by saying, send It
to the Junk pile
Judge Hammond also declares that
tha price of cotton seed products Is
too low. Wants to tut down the
[ price of cotton seed and put up the
! price of coton seed products. Make
j Hie Southern farmer soil ills seed for
! less and pay more for 111* cotton seed
products
He explained to s THond In Jenkins
■ tbit will* ho Is a farmsf himself, he
don’t raise cotton, but ho does grow
■ ott and he tells him at the same
| time tlini he will send hltn n bushel
I nnd n naif and wind* up hi* letter by
j asking him to vote for him
Mr Prehles read copiously fVom
the s emu 0 f Judge Hammond tn
; New York before the Cotton Seed
j Crushers’ VseoclslUni showing the
difference between the speech pub
lished In the Augusta Ohronlcis nnd
the New York speech, published in
the minutes. He was frequently In
terrupted bv applause
Comment Favorable and Otherwise
Mr Peebles then read a number of
extract* from newspapers, acme am
proving Hammond’s attack on the
Khemtsu anti-trust law and some
disapproving Ho read a letter from
a farmer in \tken County, tiatuqj
Cushing, published In Augusts at the
time the Now York speech came out,
strongly condemning it nnd asking IT
that w;ta lovaltv to the Southern far
mer* Then asked why Judge Ham
in and had not cored ed these state
ments If interested at tnat time.
Mr Peebles then went on to
measure Judge Hammoud with his
own rat’d stick, and answered Ham
| tnond’s quest lona ** to what a speech
made before a colon seed chursherV
assoc ation had to do with tho qualifi
cations of n Judge of the Superior
Court, by asking the further quae
tton If Judge Hammond was untrue
to tbs IST n one Instance, la It
not possible mat ho would he untrue
to them as a judge trying their rights
In his courts*
\nd Mr. Peebles also went on to
cite hi* own quallllcatlon to ftli thia
Important position, ant from the
manner In which this was recelvet
tt was ev dent that those nreaent felt
that he measured up to the requtrs- ;
I ments of one seeking such a respon
sible position.
His Judicial Record.
Mr. Peebles then criticised severely
i Judge Hammond's conduct In the trial
<>: case* and stated that he seldom
tried a rase without showing that he
| wanted one side to win In preference
to the other.
I Ha then quoted a section of the
code commonly known as the dumb
net, which prohibits the Judge from
expressing by word or manner vwiat
he believes has been proven In the
trial of a case. He called the crowd
to witness the truth of this statement
to which there were many cries of
essenl mingled with the outburst of
applause.
Mr Peebles denied In the strong
est terms Judge Hammond's coarge
that he was fomenting religious strife,
and stated that he would not attempt
to ride into any office by such tactics.
But on the contrary he showed that
Hammond had tried to do so. And,
furthermore, lie said that If he was
elected judge that no man could ex
i! ect favors at Ills hands, that he
would do exact Justice to all men, re
gardless of hlB rellgoius belief.
The Aftermath.
Mr Peebles doffed his speech with
a flue quotation from Alexander H.
Stephens, In which the "Old Com
moner’’ said lie was not afraid of any
thing on earth except to do wrong.
Mmx In tM crowd were evidently
familiar with the sentiment, for they
evinced their approval by the wildcet
cheering.
Many there were, old and young,
who gathered around the speaker
and cHgerJ.v grasped his outstretched
hand, promising their warmest sup
port. Many prophesy that Peebles’
majority In McDuffie will be great.
Mr i’eebles spoke about two hours.
Marshal’s School House was greeted
Rl both places by rousing crowds.
At l.eah an elegant barbecue was
served by the people in this neigh
borhood.
