LIVELY SENSATIONAL MEET AT BAMBERG SO>1!: KX( I I} MKNT KXTI:( I i!!) BI T NOTHING HAITIANS. (iovern<?r Tears lp Teietrrani Handed Him by Oumty Chairman. Bamberg, June -7.?The I'nited j State senatorial campaign meeting here today partook in s mie slight de-: gree to the boisterous nature of the j gubernatorial campaign meeting o:' two years ago. That was the "rough" j day of the entire campaign that year It was on the morning succeeding the Spartanburg dictaphone episode, and the language of one of the candidates , in referring to the alleged revelations was so nauseating that ladies were compelled to leave the grounds. At; no other places visited this campaign have the lines of partisan cleavage j been so definitely drawn. Other voters j have not been so emphatic in their j preference of candidates. At no other place were the candidates more lib-1 erally applauded. At no place have . more questions been fired at the I speakers, nor the parrying and thrust-1 ing and the acid replies been more appreciated or returned with more deadly effect. Tears Up Telegram. When the governor was introduced \ today he was asked by H. C. Folk* the county chariman, to answer ^ telegram sent during the recent ses-j sion of the State legislature, asking why the governor was not supporting Mr. Folk for master, when Mr. Folk j was the Democratic primary nominee,! but had sont another name to the senate for confirmation. The chairman also propuunde an additional question: "Is a man who violates his oath at the ballot box a fit person to send to the United States senate?" The governor totally ignored the i latter question and taking the telegram, tore ii into shreds, spat upon j J c* w Thai 11 it lid SLCHH^ICU n ua ma icci. ? "v, governor then said: "If that dirty! coward who made the threat against; me in the drug store is in the au- j dience, now is the time for him to do ?' i his work." There was no movement i in the audience, nor any response. ' Gev. Blease asserted that some one in a nearby drug stores had said: "I ; "want to hear Gov. Blease today, as it | will be the last speech he ^vill ever ; make." There was no response and j the governor again said if the coward 1 were there it was the proper time to -carry out the threat. Governor Guarded. The governor had come to Bamberj berg prepared for trouble, as four State detectives were close 'by at all times, closely guarding the governor j against any possible attack. A depu- j ty sheriff from Newberry was also in I the party. Approximately 1,000 voters heard j the candidates. The meeting was held in a grove near the Southern depot, with H. C. Folk, who has been j county chairman since the county was i organized, presiding. Prayer was of- I fered by the Rev. w. H. HodgeS. The j speeches were limited to 3o minutes. ( alls For Order. In introducing the first speakers today, the chairman reminded the audience of the meeting two years ago "which was heralded to the world as a disgrace to South Carolina.'' The disturbances then he said were "led by and indulged in by henchmen of certain candidates brought here for that purpose:' Mr. Folk then read a set of resolutions recently adopted at the Bamberg county convention whicri I would require all speakers to em- j ploy language that would not be of-1 fensive to the women who happened to attend. These same resolutions also provided adequate police ppwe** to enable the chairman to quell any disturbance. Mr. Jennings was the advance guard of the speaking brigade today. When introduced he was met with I X I cheers for Blease, with counter cheering tor both him and Senator Smith. When he launched into an animated defense of the new primary rules again there were hurrahs for the speaker and the governor. One in the audience told the mayor of -Sumter that he would not be elected to the United States senate. "I'm not worrying about that," Mr. Jennings, replied, and the crowd applauded the speaker with a marked degree of enthusiasm. At this juncture the question was asKea, vvny was h mipuseu niai we should write our names in full when v;e register." The speaker drew a prolonged round of applause when he said: "There are so many people with tho same initials, but \\ho nave to-! tally different names when wrtten out ; in fnl:. that t is arrangement was ab- ! solutely n eessary to prevent another ' \Yh .1 t sjj'.Ic r c nelu'.i'.'J Ms j discus.-ion o:' ta" Stale conventionj that framed the'primarv rules there!

HUM am 1 uun.1 u . * aim, , back from the crowd. Senator Smith's j record. Mr. .Jennings claimed, was j only "cotton." "Oh, n some one answered, "that . won't go." "It consists main I v in a few resolu* tions offered in congress,'" the speak er went on. "to investigate Hayne ! and others to prevent gambling in c</.~ ton futures." This criticism was keenly relished, i and calls o:' "That's right," and "Tell i it to them, Jennings," followed in rapid succession. Xothing the speaker said about the governor elicited more applause than when he said: "The governor says | he's proud of his record. Then he j should at least be proud of me, for I expect to help him to exhibit that record on every stump in South Carolina."' When Mr. Jennings was decrying the idea of petitions signed by the juries, somebody said the i "jurymen have just found out that they are mistaken." The speaker's reply was, "Then all these 14,000 jurymen must have been awfully ignorant." This was followed by mucfl j .. i cheering, and a Blease adherent, sit-> ting on the edge ck' the platform, kept i repeating, "Go it, Jennings; if I don't' vote for Blease I'll vote for you." JMr. Pollock urged the voters, when the time for making a selection came, not to measure him around the waist, Vint irnnnH fho hathanrl TTP nlsf) reminded Bamberg citizens that he had behind him no political machine. "I have done nothing for you/' he continued. "I have neither appointed 1 any of you to office, nor have I granted any of vjti pardons.'' He only asked for the votes of the ugly men. "Then you'll sure be elected," some one answered. "Yes, and I'll get your vote," tke speaker called back. "What are you going to do witn Blease," another asked. "I'll get to that presently,'' Mr. Pollock shot back, and someone in another part of the crowd volunteered the information, "Nothing. I can answer toat.'' The speaker then discussed the Walterboro speech of the governor, and pronounced some practices of the governor when paralleled with the principles as set forth in this speech as "the most monumental of jokes." The two to which he gave particular attention were the enforcement of the law in conformity with the verdict oi' the 'courts of the law and trial by jury. Honor Roll Rouses Mirth. Xo stunt that any candidate has "?^!i 11 ,-iri nW' /lnviSio- tlio namiwion Vis<a \J u iXUU \JIL UUilll5 created more genuine merriment than the reading of Mr. Pollock's, "honor roll" of "furriners,'' taken from certain club lists in Charleston. The speaker's pronunciation of these rhythmical liames, in a strictly polished stacatto nasal strain, has not yet failed to convulse any audience on whic it has been tried. When tbia had been read today, the speaker asked: "Do you want those people, who can't speak a word of English, and who are voted by corrupt politicians as dumb driven cattle, to govern South Carolina?" When the chorus of "Nos" had died down, he further asked: "Do you want to be lined up with Vincent Chicco, Jim Sottile, the Italian Dago and king of blind tigers, on the governor's staff? If you don't they are the ones with whom the governor has sided/' Senator Smith said that his oppo-1 nents had been trying to divorce him j ana ".vuss omiuu, my uia sweetheart." 'They've been trying to create family trouble/' he continued. "They can't divide us. We will remain :i.i"- parable until we are clothed in purple and fine .men." The senator t:.em' quoted scripture to the ef-I fppt ih-.-.t il.p I.or,? f. hasrenerh t^mi? ! w^om Ho lovetli. ''Ti'.eu ;e certain1* j must love me," he went on. "For a time I thought that I'd have ont> >ne lawyer to chase me in South Carolina. Lc and behold, I now have three. Some of you -vill understand '.v.iy 11 is sj devilish rard to get scmet'iing lc.ie in the United Statt s senatj when 1 remind you that we have 78 lawyers among iLo 9fj ntors in Washington. On every nua-sure each has to have hit, ?< >*. Tbey can talk on either side equally well, and tnen split the difference." Senator Smith explained to Bamberg citizens how they could take iir papers on real estate or agricultural products to a me'iiber bank and J monoy on t'-i^ as co1 lateral. r I * j iither in.'?.'? i< r tfiat i' t "uj i- v c no- !. r-r i from ? -' as that ?local banker should itt-j f'<.rsf t' : and forward it to! the central regional bank and the | k moii' V (ir .

"Well, a sight more than 1 can tend, I guess." was the reply. Senator Smith dismissed t^e accusation t'nat Hoke Smith of Georgia was the anth r of one of the Smith bills by sa> ing that "the Georgia senator had no more to do with introducing that bill than he had to do with the nebular hypothesis or the plan of salvation." Same Old Story. (The governor again today took Sen ator Smith to task on the subject of "Haskellism" when he said the senator tried to defeat Ben Tillman. He also taxed the senator with voting, while a member of the State legislature, against a separate coach law. He said that Senator Smith did not favor a resolution, offered at the Hal-! timore c mention by a Western delegate. to repeal the 14th amendment of the constitution of the I'nited States. He referred to the lynching of a negro in Bamberg r .inty for attacking 'a white girl and added: "Yet some of you here today are hollering for a man who voted to pay $2,000 to any negro's family that was lynched. That man is Senator Smith." Gov. Blease again paid his respects | to the State convention and the new primary rules then formulated. These, he said, were concocted in the Jefferson hotel, Columbia. The delegates, he said, did not act like Democrats I with Democrats, neither as if in convention, but rather in caucus behind closed doors. Referring to his pardons, he said that he had pardoned four already this week and would pardon another when he got to Columbia tonight. i The governor at Bamberg todaysaid that the State's correspondent I had misunderstood him at the Barnj well meeting in reporting that he had | said "Senator Smith is a Republican." 1 TirViof orAUcrnnr eavo TiP said On I V V LI CI L LAI Vy , V ? \y X X UU J O ** v ? ? ? , the Barnwell platform was: "Senator I Smith voted with the Republicns."

Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during [his time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I was soon cor.Mned to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it. From the very first dose, I could tell it was- helping me I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It nas helpea more than a million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too.. Your druggist has sold Cardui for yeans. He knows what it will do. Ask him.
