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. M’LENDON IS IN RACE R. R. COMMISSIONER Has Oome Out Against Paul B.
