A crowd estimated at more .han 4,500 people gathered for the meeting, many of them being from .uc duiiuuiiuiiik counties 01 AnaerBon, Greenwood, Newberry and Greenville. While the partisans of all candidates were present In large numbers, there was no disorder and nothing to mar the day. The wearers of the red badges, followers or Governor Blease, were more numerous than those who wore the cotton blossom emblem, adopted by the followers of United States Senator E. D. Smith, but both of these carried off much applause. L. D. Jennings was given a good reception, but W. P. Pollock bait to fight his way in the face of a hostile crowd of the governor'1 followers, who, seemingly, were not wanting to hear the Oheraw man. H-*. however, held his own and mercilessly llayed Governor Blease. raking especially his pardoning record. Frequently Chairman Browning had to appeal to the wearers of the red hedges to cease their evidence of disapproval and Mr. Pollock told th? 01 ne proposed to recite the governor s rcord no matter how tlicy might jeer. The meeting was held in a grove below the station, the hillsides icing thick with people, many Sadies being 11 the audience. GOVERNOR BLEASE SPEAKS.
