Walhalla, July 1?.-Tue senatorial campaign meeting here today was marked foy tho charge by \V. I?. Pol lock that tho governor "had feathers on his legs." This was in explanation of the governor's failure to stay on tim stand whoa Ute other candidates are speaking. This candidate said that he didn't attack any man behind his hack. How ever, he added,, the governor's "turn-j ing turkey" and running away would not deter him in holding up lilt- record in all its hideous nakedness. Senator Smith added another fea ture when he rend un affidavit from C. P. Moorcr, of Dorchester county,! saying that Senator Smith was in St.' George's the date of the Haskell con vention. Oath was also made that at the time Mr. Moorer had reminded Senator Smith that the newspapers, had reported him as a delegate to tho convention, and asked how he could be at two placea at one time. Tlic meeting today was the?twenty second, thus terminating thc first half, ,of tlic campaign.

Ho added that his conscience wa8 beginning to prick him for kick ing a corpse. The candidate from Cheraw devoted most of bia time today to an attack on Senator Smith's record. He told the Walhalla audience that Senator Smith wua beginning to believe that Pollock was thc man he would have to defeat. Senator Smith challenged his op ponents to say whether or not they would do any tiling to advance thc price of cotton ,in tho event one of them should be elected to the United States senate. If he had nothing to do with the raising of the price of cotton, if the organization of farmers he represented had not accomplished anything, thon the logical conclusion was that nothing could bc done, and that if either should be elected he would attempt nothing in thia direc tion. Senator Smith waa presented with a pigmy bale of cotton, wich the owner had kept "atored" fifteen years. Tho speaker said ho would mako thia his emblem. Governor Olease warned the Oconce county votera today that two newspa per men, under the pretext of solicit ing subscriptions, were following, the campaign party.

Ho declared he would ask no political right for himself he was not willing to grant to lils wife, and announced lie would support the pro posed state constitutional amendment extending the franchise to women to bc voted on In Nebraska next Novom bcer. Woman, Mr. Bryan said, had proved herself equal to every responsibility Imposed on her, and would not fall society In this emergency. Above all oilier arguments for giving her the ballot he placed thc right of the moth er to a voice in the moulding of the environment of her children. "As man and woman are co-tenants of the earth," the ?talement aays, "and must work out their destiny to gether, the presumption ia on thc aide of equality for treatment in all that pertains to their joint life and its op portunities.
