C..SUN?AY MORNING, JUNE 28, 19M] PRICERVE^E^rs Spat Upon Telegram Handed Him By the County Chairman BOLD SPEECHES FEATURED DAY The Voter? of Bamberg Were! Boisterous, Applauded and Hissed Each Speaker In Turn Special to Thc Intelligencer. Bamberg, June 27.-More than 1.000 zealous partisan voters heard thc Uni ted States Senatorial candidates here today. At no other place vlfited in the campaign have preferential lines of cleavage ben so directly drawn or partisan strife ro rampant. Both Mesr.rB Jennings and Pollock, the post entrants, were well received. Senator Smith had a large and appreciative following in the audience. Governor Blease had many admirers, and his ad h?rants today were the most-' bois terous of any that have listened to the candidates thus far. That a large number of thc Bam berg, voters will remain In the, "ma jority which I already have," was not questioned today ar the governor's followers rhowed their approval ' ol his bitter denunciations of all' classes and conditions of men who are not with "my friends." When Introduc ing the governor, H. C. Folk, the coun ty chal? mun, read a telegram address ed to the govornor by Mr. Folk, ask ing that thc governor answer in the course of his speech something as to the support of the democratic nomi nee. Tho chairman also asked , that the question be*, answered: "Is the oilba In the United S?ts?t f?natfe." . * Spat on Telegram. The governor spat on and stamped under his fftet tho telegram, while the crowd vigorously applauded hi? act. He entirely ignored the ques tion. Bamberg citizens were remind ed that in the care of an attack upon a white woman by a negro, no military company. would ever be ordered out to protect the negro. This bold chal lenge tell on willing ears, and the gov ernor again pursued the "nigger." Senator Smith war charged with be ing a member of the Haskell conven tion and voting with thc negroes back in 1890 against Benjamin R. Till man; that as a member of the legis lature he had voted against the separate coach law; and that he had voted for a bill to pay an indemni ty ree or $2 OOO for the family of a ne-, gro who was lynched. The governor feld that tho. new rules were only to disfranchise "my friends," a' glowing picture of thc Confederate veterans. Robert E. Lee and tho late Wade Hampton, riding his mule with the "red shirt" hosts to rid the state of negro domination.' "Yet," Governor Blease said, "because this man cannot sign-his.full name, he can't vote." lt wac at this junc ture that some one in the audience called out,, "yea, but he can get the clerk to sign it for him." "Any fool knows that," the governor retorted. Then he added, "you ain't contribu ting any information." j More ques tions were fired at the candidates here today than at any previous meeting. Many of these were of au unfriendly nature to the present administration, add the parrying and thrusts and acid replier, were heartily applauds Again today, as yesterday, Senator. Smith received Several bunches . bf beautiful flowers, which are to be pressed in memory of those, he said who were making a. heroic fight to take, him out of the United States sen ate. Although the governor made a bold attempt to get rough at today's meet ings, L. D. Jennings, waltzed into his record with greater ferocity than at '. any previous meeting. He was given a fine reception and after he hadvex plained the rules of the party the state convention waa cheered for Its work by many In tho audience. - r Mayor JenrJngs said that the gov ernor was proud of his record. Then he shall bo proud of me, for I- expect tb help him exhibit the record 'from every clump in South Carolina,'>said Mayor. Jennings. "Go to it, Jennings. If 1 dont vote ? for Blease, I wHI vote for you," said a Blease man sitting oh the edge or the platform. Honor Boll Read. - . . W. P.

June 27.-Fifty State banks and trust companies ul! told, have qualified for membership In Fed eral raserve banks as against 7,500 National banks. This small number of State institu tions in thc new Federal banking nlnn is due chiefly to State laws forbiding State'banks to. acquire stocks in oth er corporations.
