HVICE A WEEK, $LM A YEAR, tmmmmtmmu ________ (LANCASTER FOLK I MORE tMPHATIC1 NTH LSI ASM SHOWN AT CAMPAIGN MEETING. j The Crowd is fciiuiusiasuc?.jcmiing? and Pollock Keep l"p Their Assaults. The State. Lancaster, July 1.?The 600 voters who heard the senatorial candidates 4 here today were more emphatic in their apporval and their disapproval than were those at Chester yesterday. The governor was the first speaker, and a group of animated followers directly in the front.of the stand cheered vigorously when he was introduced. These applauded vigorously also when the governor denounced the new primary rules and made his customary swings at the negro question. Mr. Jennings made a grilling at tack on the governor in reference to tne asylum eposide. This, too, met ^ with a hearty response and at times there were calls "Tell it to them, Jennings!" - - a&V ? ii, Mr. Pollock divided his assaults today between the governor and Senator Smith. His Dunsent remarks and hitting replies to questions here today ^ drew much applause, and created a ^ good impression for him. (Senator Smith was the last speaker, and at no time since the campaign opened has he so completely swept his audience by his logic and eloquence. Would Let All Hear. Plr^s at first v ere to hold the meetong in the court house. But when the crowd had assumed such proportions that all couldn't get in, R. S. Stewart., the county chairman, was advised to adjourn to the court house yard and allow the speakers 10 utilize the * porch of a small residence. The governor was the first speaker. He began by paying a tribute to the late Pink Caskey, a friend of his from this county. He also reminded the au1 * x 1 * 1 nnmo tn fh 1 o /""nil Tl - Q10DC6 UlcU lie liau <-w w>*'* tv for the present superintendent ol' the State Hospital for the Insane, whose administration up to this time "'has been most excellent." Compuls.ry education was introduced by the governor today for the first time since the campaign opened. The State, the governor said, was not ready :or this, because of a lack of school houses, and if the State had such a law it couldn't be complied with because of a lack 'Cf school nouses. "I know wniie schools," continued the speaker, "that run no more than six weeks." I know others that do not run more than three months. If you pass a law compelling white children to go to school four months, you've got to make arrangements first." The governor complimented the last legislature for providing the 1 mill tax for the common schools. IThis legislature, the speaker said, would go down in history as doing1 more for the common schools than any otner ever had done, when "it passed the meas.use I 'bad been agitating.'' The governor dismissed the education idea by saying that when the State got ready tor compulsory education it then would not need it. >Yill Close the Floodgates. The governor said he was opposed lo immigration and promised that if j lie got to the United states senate labor in season and out of season "to stay this tide cf riffraff that's crowding in from Europe?people who work cheaper than you can, and as soon as they pocket a little money, put hack 'home." "I object to corporations and trusts bringing these here." the governor continued, "and if I'm elected to the senate, of which I think there's no J. - tl -l.i ii- " doubt. I promise 10 ngiu u. Again today the governor took a fling at t!:e negroes who deliver the mails and act as clerks in the mail cars. "Oh, yes, they talk about civil service. What has civil service got to do -with it between a white man and a negro?" the governor asked. "Take the civil off, and give the service to a white man/' " +- ^',1 r. ? or- V) ?* The speaxer iaea iu:u ui 'tad a hole cut i.i the fence about the ? jr.; ::sion at Columbia and a box I :a d to receive the mail, he s;rid, ami that since that time "no negro has brought a letter to the front door and delivered it." Primary rules, too, were scored, I and the governor said that he knew j ~ fV? a r\?-? r?/A 11 nn t Krkrvlrc? 1 U. a piiUJC V? llfl tr UiC ClUUHUltiu uvwvo were kept in a bank, "which is open | only li^om 9 to 2.'' ! In each instance pointed out, the I governor said, this was to inconven- : i ience and disfranchise his friends. I When Mr. Jennings began pound-; ing ihe governor's pardon record, ^ ofl'A/5 ' ? norrlnnc KOPTI OUillt* KJLLKZ aOI\CU il IJCLI uuno uuu j prompted by a feeling of mercy. "Xo," the speaker answered, "it j was not because of a tender heart, | but because of some political hench-' man." The pardon of "Portland Xed"' was ! drawn into the arguments again today. When Mr. Jennings pointed out that this veggman had robbed seven p^stoffices and 12 bank's in South Caro'ina and then asked. "Do you indorse this record?" there was a chorus of "Noes,"' seconded by a lone "Yes." 1 Mr. Jennings explained that the new primary rules were fair alike to the friends and political enemies of the governor. " v " *** "jr "You're right," an aged man in the ? J *4 T ^Q C\ i crowd aiiswereu. i ve uccu ucic vv years and I expect to enrol my full name and ;*:tc under them." The old man was said to (have been F. E. C. i Gainor. Better Job for Him. This speaker retaliated today by [ saying that- the governor too could I get a better job than to go back to | I Newberry and work in the livery I : stable, as the governor threatened j yesterday be.ore he would apologize for or explain any word he had ever uttered or anything that he had ever i done. 1 "My suggestion is," said Mr. Jennings, "that he go to Charleston and 1 go into partnership with James Sottile, who's on his staff and the king of blind tigers, and the governor will ha\e a better business." When the mayor of Sumter had ! ppj?sf?d 'hammering: the governor in connection with the Dr. Saunders \ trial, which the speaker said was a "proceeding such as 'has never been held in a civilized country," he took Senator Smith to task for not helpi ing to wage the fight on Bleaseisnr. "1 do not know whether 'Senator ( Smith indorses the record of Gov. . Blease or not,'' Mr. Jennings began. ( "He has never yet done what I beho Vi?c h 11 tv tn hpln show that . 4 I C cvy u V lllkj MUVJ wv M K - _ ] Gov. Blease is not fit to go to the United States senate. Hew long will he keep silent? How long will he continue to make that cotton speech , 1 which he heard six years ago and that any parrot can make by going ( around with the campaign party?" Mr. Pollock answered the charges ' preferred by the governor against the new primary rules. ' "I was a member of the State convention that passed those rules and I have no apologv to make for any of the new regulations," Mr. poiiock , said. "I stood shoulder to shoulder . with those who wanted every honest ^ vote to count once, just once, though, and that these should not be destroyed by dishonest votes." Kead His List. The man from Cheraw then read his list of "furriners" * and said that they were "the kind who nave ni a drift into Charleston who 'haven't a dollar in the world, who can't sign their names, yet they are herded together and voted like sheep by Vincent Chicco and James Sottile. They are the kind that cross over from Augusta and adjoining counties to kill the honest votes of the farmers of South Carolina." Mr. Pollock then explained what he said were the relations existing be *u~ onH Tomps Sottile IWetll lilt* j;u\cniui anu -j ? 'the king of all blind tigers and colonel on the governor's staff." The speaker then asked whether they would salute the "mashed down Dago,*' and there was a chorus of 'Noes'' and many hurrahs for Pollock. I MThe .governor has only one theme, } and that's nigger, nigger, nigger, I nigger,*' the speaker went on. ! At this juncture some one a-,ked. ; i ! "What about the Jim Crow car law?" j ! The speaker answered tbat to bis owu ! i knowledges?t:i:i:gh La could not; i / speak definitely?the governor had never written a -lim Crew car bill, nor had ;.e e>er worked ovc-rzealously for one. Mr. Pollock said that he was the first man in South Carolina to write a resolution providing State, aid lor the deficient public schools of the State. Senator Smith was the last speaker. Each of those preceding him had gleeFuller ?* ci i r\ r\ 'nim tViat + I 1UII * 1 ^Ullllli^U Willi bliuv A-?\^ ? cotton exchange bill had been substituted for the Smith bill. As soon as the senator was introduced toda; he read the Associated Press dispatch from Washington this morning which said that the senate had refused to xl- -.1 ? A_ dCCepi me SUUSiiLULe. un Slump i a Mr. Pollock tells the audience that , it lias c~st the government almost $1,000 a pound to fatten 'Senator Smith. The senator "came back" today by answering that he was a "thoroughbred" and that his opponent was a "razorback,"- and that his opponent could never be fattened. Tlie Famous Whistle. The senator also likened his cpponent to the famsus steamboat on tae Mississippi, '"the whistle of which was so big and the boiler so litte that when it blew it had to stop:' It had also been charged that the -tnator was a man o: one idea. "There is but one sun, yet all the light and the heat and the plant food come from this."' he answered. "Just wait I until I develop my one idea and you'll see its relation to the homes, to the sch houses and to t.*e shoes for the little children's feet. The crowd today was composed largely cf farmers and Senator Smith went extensively into the time extension feature of the new banking and currency law designed solely for the benefit of the farmers. He also took up in detail the standardization of grades and explained how this would suable the producer to know at least i:.e quality of cotton he was throwing on the market. At no place where rhe nartv has vet been did the sena tor's arguments receive a more thoughtful hearing nor at any place have there been more enthusiastic supporters charging the stand when the meeting was concluded to speak to Senator Smith and clasp his hand.

I Voter Wants the I ndidates For Gov- j eriior to Explain Some Thing's. Study tlie Divine Code. Editor The Herald and News: We have already been informed as to what various candidates promise to accomplish if tuey are elected to the high office of governor. Some of j tiese candidates would impress upon.', the minds of the poor man that if he i3 elected, provision will be made for every poor man to own land and a ; home or' his cwn, but he does not tell us by what means and by what pro-' < "ess this is to be consummates Some ; of these candidates are landlords. Will they tell us how many slices i have they cut off to poor men and on what terms? Is this not a mere vote j catcher? It sounds very much like the mule and forty acres we heard of "fi vo<irc ocrn VpS tf?11 how VOll DrO y V J VUi U UQV. * ? - ?. M pose to bring about this happy 9011- , summation and how much you will , contribute towards it. < Another candidate is going to have State wide compulsory education, and < another wants it about in patches, but they profess to be wise enough to enact laws to meet the inequality of human conditions. When God wrote the ten commandments for the moral government of the race through all time He made it as easy for one man or woman to comply with as ancther, irrespective of conditions in life. All would be governors and law makers should study 'the divine code and not to presume to go beyond the wisdom of God. All general laws with a penalty imposed for its violation should be s> constructed after the divine plan as to make it as easy for the poor ab for the rich to comply VY HUL. If these candidates for compulsory education have such a code let us have it. If they have not such a code then the State is not ready nor will it be ready until the State can raise up statesmen sufficiently wise, just and good to enact, such a c*:de. I can not vote for a measure so far out of harmony with divine wisdom and goodness with respect to human con ditions that would send a poor tenant, an invalid or a p or widow to '-he ehaingang because of conditions over v.iiich they 1 :t.c r.o control. X \ never. so long as the red Anglo Saxon i-e : y t ro" jh my ;;oiy. Il you say the State is ready for a [ Suite wide compulsory education law. * tell us at once what that law shall be.
