At Blythe, on the confines of Rich mond and Burke counties, there wts a crowd of between 700 and 800. Those who know say that It exceeded the lfamnriond crowd of the day before by half. Not more than n dozen Hum mondite.s were at either Urovetown or Blythe. A good many ladies graced the occasion by their presence at Blythe. Hon. T K Peebles wns Introduced M. C. Bar wick, K*q . a member of I she Augusta bar, who resides nt I Hlvthe and who with a few well- I chosen remarks paid a glowing trlb Itlto to Mr. Peebles' ability both a* h lawyer and a man. I In hlB speech, Mr. Peebles staled Ithat he was informed that hi* op Iponent had eschewed the subject of [the cotton si‘«d speech In Ills Blythe |a<1 'i ress; that the Judge had attempted |to explain this speech In hi* Thom non 'address but had taken hi* foot out dot the mud and stuck It In the mire land was getting deeper and deeper th# further he went. And finally *<lm iJudge decided that the lens he said {about the cotton seed speech the bet jter I He then showed that the cotton Baaed circular was taken from Judge i IXKlimtTinmJ's speech in the August..! SChronlclo of June 11th. 1911; Hint the | Augusta Chronicle copy of the speech [{was ftirnlshed The Chronicle by judge {Hammond himself, that tl * AsMixlat Jed Press dispatches published at the {time showed that the Augusta Chron ilcl* apeech was the speech that Judge |Hamm<>od had delivered and that jwtien the Judge returned home and |learned that his secretary was saying I [that he couldn’t he elected dog catch er, the judge had proceeded to try t» [ tone down *omawh«t the lutiguag! • used in his speech. j And when he sent his manuscript [to the secretary of the Cotton Heed KCrushers’ Association to he ln»erte<l ;Jn the minutes, he mad some minor {changes, but that the Southern farmer ■could take cither apeech. as it ap r pen red In the Augusta Chronicle, or Baa It &tuo*Hred 1n the minutes of the ■Cotton Hoed Crushers' Association, uand the same wns the rottenest ph-ce Inf rot ever pulled off agninst the I 800 them farmer by any Bouthern Irmtti He pointed out thut If Judge ■ Hammond had been half ns anxious to ■servo the Interests of the Southern ■ farmers ns he was to aoft soap John ft). Rockefeller and hand him bouquets, • his speech would have been Just the ‘■opposite. (This WUS greeted by doiif e®tug cheers ) The speaker affirmed that he was Uot surprised that Judge Hammond, aa a farmer, was not interested In £lh* weii-being of the Southern farm ar, nor the price he got for his cotton •wed, for the simple reason that the I Jndg< had within the (test two months) wrlMen a Jenkins county farmer that | ha, the Judffw, raised <*ata, but not !'cotton. and that ha. the Jtnkn>. had Ju*t har\««ated a good crop of oats, and later on he would send this farm mr a buahel and a half of very fine atari oats, and that the Judge wound Ml* this letter by saying that he hoped this farmer would vote for him for Judge on the 19th of August Home »*ne In the audience inquired whether or not the judge’s supply of «uit* had yat been exhausted, when some wag remarked that It was generally tinker- Stood that a goodly portion of Ids campaign fund had already been spent Without avail. I.a tighter and cheers ' Mr. Peebles then Introduced nn af ■tdovlt from a Mr. Cawley, showing Chat Judge Hammond had urged him and a friend of his to go to Thomson to hear him speak That they stated to him that they had a good deal of work to do, and didn't know whether ttiev could get off. That tha Judge offered to pay th«lr expense* to Thorn •on to hear him speak That Mr Cawley finally received in one of Judge Hammond’* envelops on a plain Jdae* of paper, an order or check ■tailed by Judge llammond, which was cashed, and the proceeds used tnr lit* purpose of making the trip to Tfeoraaon. •t this point Mr, Teeldes said that | he understood that th* Judge had In ! 4Urtctly compared himself tn Ids Thomson speech to Alexander 11. fKephcn*. Rob Tuomha. Benjamin H. MU and Win. 11. Crawford. That '.t was generally known the judge sel dom used an ordinary check like we {ordlnar> individual*, but wrote hial checkh on plain paper; that he pre sumed that such aas a m&t k of the I great g* nios of Jndge Hammond and jwm but one of the evUlem'es that IliiactHt 1 Im In tlie category of Toombs | am!

Mr IVchles stated that he under stood that the Judge had referred to him as a two-by-four lawyer, a sort of fly on the hull's horn; that ho might he a fly on n hull’s horn, but that he had the »ati*factlon at least of knowing that he bad the bull bel lowing. Mr. Heebies stated that lie enter tained ahsoli.it.el>’ no malice toward anyone, and that when he began the discharge of his duties as judge on January Ist. 19ir>, he proposed to let politic* and religion have nothing to do with his decisions. That he pro poses! to give to every man, irrespec tive of political affiliations or religi ous beliefs, an absolutely fair and square deal. That he was calm, cool and collected; that "whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad;’’ j that tin* situation was so encouraging for himself; that he had a smile that wouldn't com* off, and entertained the kindliest foelings, even for ht» P<»li tha I enemies. The speaker then discussed Judge Hammond's official record, taking up lbe Georgia Reports, giving a num ber of decisions In each volume wherein Judge Hammond was affirm ed, and wherein he waa reversed. And after showing that the judge had been reversed eight times In h single vol ume of the (leorgla Reports, remark 'd that he presumed that the man In Augusta who said that the Judge had been reversed but eight time* thought all of Judge Hammond's de cisions passed upon l»y the Supreme Court were reported In that particu lar volume of the Georgia Reports. Mr, Heebies then showed that* the Judge In charging the Jury, by his demeanor and emphasis upon the con tentions of one party, show* to the Jury clearly which side he thinks '•ugh! to prevail, nnd that 1n Mr Heebies' opinion, r lawyer ought to he able to study the law and evidence «nd get some Idea a« to how bis case Is going without having to go Into the court house and study the facial expression of Judge Hammond. Mr Peebles* remarks, while punctu ated with Just enough good-natural raillery, sarcasm and humor to keep) the crowd In a happy frame of inind, I contained no hlttrrntM, and the' speech wns upon n high and dignified! plane and the speaker was warmly applauded throughout his address. Hon. Wallace B. Pierce. Dr. J. It. Beall then Introduced Hot). Wallace B. Pierce, a prominent mem ber of the Augusta bar, who made a stirring and effective apeech in be half of Mr. Peebles. He also paid a very high tribute to Mr. Peebles an * citizen und a lawyer -a man who would give to each and every man. Ir respective of his station in life, whether rich or poor, a square deal w hen he went Into the court house. Mr. Pierce stated that the people were not looking for favors for them selves; that they simply wanted to see to It that the other fellow’ didn't gel any favoritism; that equal and exact Justico was administered to all and that he believed that Mr Pee bles would meet every requirement of ti fair, able and Impartial Judge. Although Mr. Pierre spoke only a few minutes, his speech, while clear and logical, was very effective and Impassioned and was cheered to the echo. The Rew, Mr. Bell hore made n great hit with the crowd that had broken down the benches and had be»>n atajul mg most of the time. In ajinouncing that the time for the barbecue dinner bad arrived, he dwelt humoroiudy upon the fact that a wire—a barbed wire separated the ladlea from the gentlemen The Immense throng of people made every demonstration of affection and esteem for Mr Peehla« ns lie would mingle with them and shake hands.
