Pickens Special to Columbia Stal July 17.?Despite the threatenc rain this morning practically 1.50 Pickens county voters came out l hear the quartette "of United Stat? senatorial candidates here toda; Each r?jco'.ved an attoat've arid n spectful hearing. There was none ? the boisterous interruption that hi ^ characterized the major portion < the campaign meetings in the Pie< mont. This county was carried by Go Please two years ago by a majoril of 962 It is a striking coincident that Senator Smith's majority s years ago was also 962. Senatt Smith had a large following in tr audience today and was warmly ai plauded at the conclusion of h speech. The general opinion, ho\ ever, was that Governor Blease friouds were in the majority. The meeting was held out in tl grove near the court house, with ( F. Norri8, the county chairman, pr siding. Several times during tl speaking a drizzling rain threatens to interrup. Once, when Senati Smith was speakihg, the downpoi was so heavy that Charley Lyoi sheriff of Abbeville county, held a umberella over the speaker so thi lie might proceed. FLOWERS FOR TWO. Both Senator Smith and the go ^ .nor were favorites. In the diatrtbi tion of flowers each received a bea< tiful box from "friends in Picket county." Senator Smith said 1 would press the leaves in memory < "the three who thought they alt ran." Senator Smith was also pr sented with another small bale of ci ton and Gov. Blease got a broa< brimmed pannma hat. W. P. Pollock was the first speaki today. In answer to Senator Smith accusation that the man fromCherr. was a "razorback," this Candida aaid that Senator Smith "razorback" six years ago, though t had since gained 50 pounds. The whole United States sQpate I said cotTfd not raise the price of co ton, much less one senator fro South Carolina The senator's mldd name is Durant and Mr Pollock eal that Senator Smith had been 'a-ran Ing and a-ranting and a-ranting' tl past six years, and that was all. When it was pointed out that tl governor had turned out more tha 900 negro convicts the answer can back: "He did that so we could ki ' * them." Mr. Pollock spoke of the tr of colonels on the governor's staff j 4'a sweet bunch,'' these being J. ] Gibson of the Republican ticket n< xoneiy, Riawin Hlrsch, the son of tt owner and editor of the Republics paper on which James L. Sims hi typo, and James Sottile, "the Charli ton blind tiger king." The speaker paid a tribute to tt Working man and said that ho hin self had earned by hard labor all thi he had, often peddling "sweet pot; toes at 50 cents a bushel." Th speaker got much applause when 1 sat down. WAS THERE BEFORE. Senator Smith reminded the Picl ens audience that he hud addresse them six years ago at the conolusk of organizing the farmer's movemei which was n few years of the hari ^ est work he had ever been called Uj on to perform, he said. The farme: then, he said had determined to hai & share In the wealth of the worU thoy had determines that if th< had to go without clothing the cottc brokers, too, should become aa "nal ed as Jaybirds." When the work was undertaken 1 -said, he was met on every hand 1 men who said the farmers would m stick. He had found that a dolli bill, from an Increased price of co top, was the most effective stickle plaster in existence. The stickli power of money, he said, would ofU stick the beat looking girl in tl community up beside the ugliest ma It..sometimes binds, be p^de*}, t hop est man to a dishonest Job. "8 years have paired and we are stl strioklng," the' senater added. Each day the senator is remind* that he Is a man with one Idea. T day he said ho would not be-po u kind as to pray that his opponents 1 given one original idea, lest th< should die of apoplexy. His platfor might be too small for "any mai . to stand on, as the Cheraw Candida had charged, but he had not sei . "any men" trying to stand on tfc to* mm THtt I platform; 'only pieces,' he explained, When introduced thr: governor Jsaid that he was glad Senator Smith j got the small bale of cotton, as that and the votes of a few "soreheads" ' would be all that he would get. DENIES TWO STORIES. ( * At the outset, he wanted to answer two reports current In Pickens coun- j ty. One was that a man had boen | asked to pay $5 to be allowed to see ^ R | his wife, who happened to be an ln-j| jjlld mate of the Hospital for the Insane. ?* According to the report, this demand was made by the governor. The gov ernor said that the man who had Kl been circulating the report had con-, fessed that he had done the ch'ef | SCt'tl id executive an injury and that this . 11) man was in the audience to verify the IjUIII o governor's statement. I j ^ The other was that a man named I Lawrence under a 30-year sentence I free y for the unmentionable crime, had i e- been pardoned. This was also unture j sil)l< )f 1 the governor said as the negro by the is same name pardoned was under a Iv | sentence for assualt and battery, j Another angle of attack was taken i JUKI on the primary rules again today. t The governor said that in the general election the governor appoints the t.llO ty 1 commissioners and these in turn ap.e point the managers. According to the x new primary rules the executive )r committee appoints the managers of i(> I tho primary anil the governor 3ald 1 that it would be seen to that all these 1 js were anti-Dlese men. v The only reason, he explained that , not been maoe the same as for the y general election was that the governor appoints the supervisors of registration and that the members of the J' State convention knew that he would PIHM 0. have kept the books of registration 10 u j [open during the months of July and 1 August, so that eve,ry white man in I . TV >r the State . could - register. BJ ? ir He warned' the voters that, if an I ill n> anti-Blease man should be elected I 111 governor, the requirements in the I it I primary would be made the same as those in the general election, within the next two years. *-1 v-i ii- 1 TALKS OF THE RECORD. m I iki u-| L. D. Jennings was the last speakis ; er and devoted the major portion of le his time to a discussion of the goV- fort, at ernor's record. \ io This speaker got one of the most til 1(1 e- attentive hearings given during the at ; campaign, because of the tactful. d- broad-minded and reasonable man- Hlftti j ner in which he appealed to his auar | dlence. i Sto\ 'a 1 He told the Pickens voters that he w admired the governor for his frankte > ante a "You can always tell where thje ?e governor stands," the speaker added, 1 1111(1 'but I don't agree with him as to his 10 ' ideas of government." Mv t- j In discussing the governor's par- I m 'don record, Mr Jennings said that he , le | believed that the judge who heard all to tl Id the testimony knew more about tho K !

VOU 8t 1 "Is a man's life safe now? Is your 8S ! property safe? Is a woman's virtue I protected under the present system?' ie These were some of the questions j Q" ! which the speaker put to his hearers. In defending the new primary a* rules, Mr Jennings asked how the ^ Is i governor's friends were to be disle franchised, as the chief executive had : Ii< -ii i.i- ?i - i?> MltUfSCU, 11 Ull III* II Itril u * IIUU fllion- { | ed, as the governor claimed.
