broke IOO?'J for a while today at thia
the Anal meeting of the senatorial
campaign, wbon twice L. I). Jennings
burled the uncomplimentary epithet I
of "dirty, contemptible liar" into.thc]
governor's teeth. Oleare ottered no j
resentment.
The governor today for tho first
time when either L. D. Jennings or I
\V. D. Pollock was on tho stage made'
the accusation that these had beeu
hired to enter thc campaign to help
Senator Smith. I
Like * a flash Mr. Jennings' leaped
to his feet and denounced the governor
BB a "liar," tho governor hitching his
thumbs beneath his suspenders and
walked away, while tho crowd threw
their hats into thc air, and became
frantic in their yells for Jennings. |
The governor read a letter purport
ing to have been written by ono anti-?
Bleaoe man to another "supposed" tu
be in the same cuiup but who was a1
Blcaseite, so tho governor said. In
this the writer urged that Richard 1.
Manning was thc logical candidate on
whom the anti-Bloaso forces should
unite. It was argued that Mr. Man
ning ls the leading candidate, aa' in-,
dlcated from the daily attacks made
upon him. *
'"The question was asked, "Did you
evor hear of a working man hoing at
tacked?" At this juncture the ' gov-,
ernor made the caustic comment, "I,
gu?sc that is -why they put Smith uv
the" race, und hired two mon to hjip
him."
The words had hardly b,>en spoken
before Mr. Jennings was at the speak
er's side, and answered, "Governor,
any man who : ava I was hired to help '
Smith ls a-dirty, contemptible liar." i
Twice In the 8:itnc Place.
Walting a minute j Mr. Jennings!
again rcpeaed tho denunciation.
The governor had his body guara
on the stand with him, and .members 1
of the f.tate detective force. How-1
ever, ho offered no resentment, stalk
ing meekly to the further end of the
platform.
"Isn't lt funny how big a cock can'
crow on li le. own dunghill," the govei-'
nor finally-asked wheh order had
boen restored. j
Senator Smith alco called tho gov-'
ernor down for hts bold insinuations.1
This was when tho governor stated
that his detectives bad discovered
that money was going out from 'n
certain office" In Columbia In Senator
Smith's interest-.'. "Some bad already J
gone," Blouse said,-"and more had to
go Saturday." He had heard that one
man ..yesterday "had been premired
S 1.000 which they would novar get and'
If the man sending lt' out isn't 'careful
ho won't hold office long," the govor-.
nor assertod.
' Smith Called Kim Donn.
At this juncture Senator Smith ad
vanced to tho governor's, eldo and
challenged that he furnish the names:
of the men sending and receiving, the
money and be would prosecute them1
himself. "Not one penny has been or ?
will be used illegitimately," tho sena-,
tor declared. I
. Tho governor replied, "If Senator i
Smith keops his'word,.!tl make him
proser '.ito next Wednesday morning
a man supposed to be one of the beat
friends Smith ever bad." >
Other features of the meeting ?were
. the bitter denunciation of tho gover
nor's record by h, D. Jennings and by ;
W. P. Pollock and tho.angry repli?e,
ot tho governor to those who attempt-1
cd to hackle the eklet executive .when
he was .making charges.
Approximately' 3,000 per?ons .were
here today. There were many of both
factions, from adjplntng counties. L.
t>. Jennings got an ovation. Next to
him Senator Smith - waa . apparently,
the favorite. Not more than one-third
of the crowd loft when the governor
had finished and many of " these re
turned. ' . ,
C m lt h dal loped. Home.
Senator Smith'Epoko first and made
his usual address. For the 44th time
. btu "cavalry horse" made. Ujp;. trip to
the depot, and finished the final lap
In unusually good form: It ls doubt;
fut if * more appropriate campaign
joke was ever told on the hustings ot
South Carolina or one that waa ever
more thoroughly appreciated. There
was not an audience in tho state that
wasn't convulsed by thia during the
. campaign.
At th?'concniifion of his speech
Senator Smith got a loving opp wRo
