All, however, gave closi anil respectful attention to everybody. There \. ..a no applause I'o I. unyhoily hut ltleuse timl he got *t plenty. f The meeting was Called to order It; ? John A.

Dial of ljuurcm < tJovernor illeaae appeared in the sigh - of the chaiir. an in an ante room jus as Mr. Dial commenced his speech -. and Mr. Mai ion introduced him, am y tin- audience broke out in the first tip plause of the morning. > The aggregate attendance of th * meeting was pretty close to thre hundred people. They were rcprc sentativo of all sections of the count and of all shades of political scnti 'f ment and nlHIiation. There wer y probably 250 people in the room whel " the meeting was called to order am these had swelled to about thre - hundred people when Mr. liLrasc sail s he did not propose to speak unde e the hammer of a partisan Democrat! executive committee, some twenty ,j five or thirty people left the room ,j but before he concluded the nudlt-ac t had swelled to the largest projiortion of the day. There were in the audience a nura 'q lu r of people who were opposed t K Mr. Hlease; but a large majority o T those present were undouhtedl friends of the former governor. The n applauded him vigorously and gav their full approval to all he had t say. The only dissent was raised b Kev. J. K. Mahnffey, who. at the con elusion of Mr. lllense's speech, mad p a brief argument to show that no mn g has been justified in being opposed t g the war even from the beginning. The proceedings were opened It .1 the reading of a letter from Senate Tillman by the chairman. In his let . ter, the senator excused himself froi j! attendance on the campaign meeting ' because of the pressing importune r of his duties in Washington, and als he emphasized the value of his cliaii a manship of the committee on navsi ^ affairs to the people of the state. H claimed that he was not actuated b personal ambition or finaaeial gain " but by duty alone. He has grown ol a in the service, he said, and is sti ' giving the best there is in him to th state. His health, however, he claim: is better than it has been for year: He said he expected to be abused an ' lied on; but he was accustomed t u that and the jn-ople are familiar wit *{ the truth. He said that if Governc Blease has been correctly quoted h is out of sympathy with fie president but if the people want tr, elect Bleasi , they have a right to do jo. and he wi ? bow to their will. Mr. H. F. Rice of Ancerson, was th >i first speaker. He took up hla tlm reading a sketch of his life and press Ing his claims to election on certai 11 newspaper articles he had written i i defense of the common schools. He ej n plained that although he had bee born in another state and had lived i n South Carolina only since 1885, thl ,a was no' reason why he should not 1: ,a elected. The audience gave respectfi m attention to the reading of Mr. Rice' pI paper; but showed no sign of intcret in the contents. Mr. N. B. Dial was the next speak er. He expressed pleasure In agai n meeting the voters of York county an spoke at length In advocacy of hi claims for election to the Unite "* States senate. Referring to Tillman *" letter of regret at inability to be pres ent, he said that Tillman did not war K to be present He intimated ths ' Tillman would not be present even V he could be. He also read Tillman' declaration Jn congress that he woul ly never again be a candidate for th / I senate. .'I he burden of his argument r was thai Tillman was untlt for the a jiosition and no longt-r competent to : till it. He attacked Mr. Hlease be- n .a use of his lack of sympathy with t< 1'resident Wilson and opposition to a , He war. and supported his statements ii I n> reading extracts from Mr. Hlease's n i'oinuria und Filbert speeches, and ti repiluted in the newspapers. He was v listened to quietly, but without ap, plause. \ As Mr. Dial was taking his seat, b Chairman Marion announced: t 'There is now another candidate in n the house who has co tie in since the c ojm ning of the itieefn.g. 1 li. ve ilie t ' honor of introducing to you the Hon. . I III. < ||VV"< ... ...v.-.v, | i his announcement was the signal v for an outburst of applause on the r part ot the audience, in response to t ' wiiich .Mr. Hlease stepped forward s ' from an ante-room. Approaching the rostrum troiA which the other speak- < . ?rs had spoken, he said: a "( enilemcn.

'T'rii nds and fellow Democrats of | York county." the people dropped into seats and assumed an attitude of in- ' teiestcd attention. Mr. Iilease began his speech with a > brief review of his public service since In- was twenty-one years ot' age as { representative of his county in the ^ iiou.se and in the senate, as president j pro tein ol the senate and as gover- , nor, and by reason of this service he felt that lu- was entitled to a fair deal belore the |ieople: but he was not I getting it. lie referred to editorials now being published in the Columbia | State arguing that any inan who seeks x to impeach the integrity of the Demo- x era tic organization in Soutii Carolina i is disloyal to his country. Then he | went on to say that lie had atlidavits and letters in his jiossession which < proved that there was fraud in the eiiMiiiiii ni two vears atro. which prov- I J ed that In-, lilt-axe, had been defrauded out of his election for governor. He read these letters and altiduvitx as published in the Columbia State at the time, and told how the suite ex\ endive committee had deliberately ig* lion d all the evidence presented with' out ever a show of investigation. This ' evideiiee, lie said, was furnished b> Mi.

I have no apologies to s make to any man for anything 1 said r ai Filbert, I'oinaria or elsewhere. I t was op|H>Ncd to this war because I believed ,it to l?e contrary to the teachings of Christianity. It was a great crime in me to be op|K>sed to the war?a great crime in me to stand up for the doctrine of peace on earth r and good will toward men as pro. claimed l?y our Lord and Saviour .

That is some1 thing that cannot be jtoown . 1A fill over and we haye counted the cost, the cost In lives of our young inen, the cost in the wounded hearts " of mothers and the cost in privation r and suffering. No. we cunnot say now who is right. But I want to call your nltention to tin- fact that ' Itobert K. Lee was opposed to our Civ1 it war before it was commenced. He i. thought that it was a terrible mistake to go into that war and lie advised against it. But after the war wax I commenced lie drew Ins sword on the i side of his country and performed the . most valiant military service the world has ever known. Are you go ing to condemn Itobert K. la-e for t being op|K)se<l to that war? And also . Alexander Stevens was op|>osed to the -, Civil war. He made speeches against . it and did everything in his |>ower to keep liis state from going in: but yet j . after .the Confederae.v seceded, you j r I'lcclcil liim vice president along wltli i our incomparable Jefferson Davis. "I challenge any and all of tlietn y who have sought to misrepresent me t as to iny attitude with regard to this i war. I don't rare where they come i* from, whether from Washington or I elsewhere. Is-t them agree upon a s series of elates in South Carolina duri, ing July and August and I will meet t them before the |?eople nnd agree to | t leave it to the people to say who rep- < i_ resents their views and who does not." I I (Applause.) i Governor Hlease said that he had \ ' bought and paid for $2,650 worth of ? |. I.iherty bonds, that he had eontrib- .? ,. uted $5o to the lto8 Cross during the ( . recent drive and he exhibited some i y war savings certificates filled up with i war savings stamps. j "I thank God that no man can ever i n say that I have been untrue to my < ,1 friends. My enemies cuss me for stick- ' ing too close to my friends (laugh- I j ter), and any man who says that I i I have ever by word or deed been dls- I e loyal to my country is a damnable < . liar." [Applause.] I ; At this point the speaker asked all s e who had heard his speech of last sum- i s tner ut Filbert to hold up their hands I and a dozen or more hands went up. 1 "N'ow," he continued, "they are try- 1 o Ing to say that I said that I did not 1 if care what kind of an America we hud < y when I was dead and gone. There is * y not a man in South Carolina who be e lleves I said unqualifiedly that. If o there is such a man I do not want his 1 y vote. I would not have a seat in the 1 - United States senate on the strength j e of the votes of such men. Yet the n Council of Defense at Columbia, on the o strength of detached newspaper state- ; inont would, without giving me a y chance to explain, condemn me as 1 r having made such assertions?without - even asking me whether 1 w'as correctn |y reported. * "I at Filbert was repeating my Po*' maria speech. In that speech I had 0 said that I believed that President Wilson and the members of congress " who voted for this wor would be hem 1 responsible before ??o?l for every Amer. lean life lost, and if my soul is to l be lost, I did not can- what kind of J. an America they had after I am dead and Rone and neither does your boy. The young man who reported that ' ' speech got part of what I said and he J got it correctly, ltut he did not get 0 all of the speech. No sensible man j, could have expected him to. But when Ir my enemies, for their own malicious |t> purposes, undertake to use that incomplete statement to condemn me, they B* are only vicious liars and they know jj they are vicious liars. [Applause.] I do not expect to say one word e against Senator Tillman here today; p but I expect to write him to fix a time L and place when he will meet me ben fore the people, i expect to specify in n my letter the things about which I ln?_ tend to attack him. If he comes I will n say the things I have to say t > his face, I, and if he does not come I will fix a is time and place myself and say what I have to say to the people. ,1 If I had been senator when this war 's question came up, I would have voted it against the war. and there are many men in this audience who would have done the same thing, n But now understand, I do not want <1 to go to the United States senate exIs cept by a vote of a majority of my fel<1 low citizens, and if I do go to the a United States senate I expect to reprei sent you acceptably or not at all. If, it after I have been in the sensrte a year, it and it shall so happen that the people If who elect me do not approve of the 's manner In wLlch I represent them, I d promlsfc here and now that if as many le as fifty of them sign a petition asking I ue to resign, I will throw up the job ii ,nd come home. n Don't you let it worry you al>out my 1-' ot having any influence in Washing- n on. 1 generally count for a little t< ltnost anywhere, ami if 1 go to Wash - ? figtou it will not l?e long after I take y ly seat before they will need me.

Harrowing details of the destruction of one of the largest and most recently constructed German submarines are given in a dispatch from a neutral correspondent of a Ixndon j n? wspaper. This submarine was one . of the last to leave Zee'bruw before- , the* entrance to the harlior was block- ' i d by Itrltish force-s on April 24. The ' U-l>oat struck a mine- and out of the 1 cre-w of 40 only two survived on ' re-aching the surface after a terrible I struggle with death for an hour anel a half, twenty fathoms below the surface. Some of the crew committed suicide, having lost all hope of leaving th?* boat alive. The only chance of escaping was to force open the conning tower and the forward hatch- 1 es and trust to the compression of air in one part of the vessel to force each man like a torpedo to the sur- i face. The air pressure In the submarine had become so high that the great I majority of the Germans could not , keep their mouths closed. The com- 1 pressed air shot them to the sur- ( face, and hardly had they reached the j sea level when the air pressure burst their lungs, and about twenty of ' them sank like stones. The survivors 1 de8crll?ed the yells of the men. when the end came, as the most horrible ( noise they had ever heard. The attention of a British trawler was at- , traded and It hastened to the rescue, j The condition of the survivors showed that their experiences In the sub- ' marine had been of a dreadful char- < acter. ?
