Th best of order prevailed and ever speaker was accorded an attentiv hearing. Governor Blease received th greatest applause, and it appeared tha his supporters were in the majorit: The enthusiasm was not as great as c the Blease-.Jones meeting two year ago. Taere was practically no aiffei ence in the size of the crowd Governo Blease carried tuis county in 1912 b nearly 1000 and his supporters her are claiming it for him again. The meeting was presided over b Countv Chairman G. F. Xorris. Th l Rev. D. W. Hiott offered prayer, an after a few preliminary remarks b the chairman the candidates were ir troduced. Pollock Speaks First. W. P. Pollock opened by saying tha although he had never visited PicKeri before, he had served in the legislc ture with some of the best citizens ( Pickens county. He declared that i L presenting the records of his oppc B nents ce would not make persons * references, that he would not insu any one or stand for an insult. H , paid his respects to Senator Smith recrd, declaring, however, that th senator had not enough record to tal long about. Mr. Pollock then reviev ed Governor Blease's record, savin ir ^ntjiinpd en manv thing's the 2oVP] nor could not explain that he (Blease would net attempt to do so. In coi nection with the governor's pardo record the speaker referred to tee pa] don of "Portland Ned." and read parody on "Old King Cole," whic amused the crowd. He referred to th appoi itment on t>Je governor's staff < J. Preston Gibson, James Sottile an Edwin Hirsch, calling rhem "a swe< bunch"' to be saluted when the gove] nor, "with his topknot waving." n views the 'State militia. iMr. Polloc read the "Charleston list," asking tl] Bleaseites present how fcaey liked 'b< ing "lined up with such a bunch of d< g es." Smith Brings Laughs. Senator Smith, in replying to t'lie a tack of Mr. Pollock, waxed somewh; huqiorous and brought several heart laughs from the crowd. He said M Pollock paid him the compliment c savins: he had talked cotton in ti) senate. The senator caused sen: merriment at the expense of his oth "pieces of lawyer" opponents, declai ing he was going back to the senat despite ''the world, the flesh, th devil and these lawyers." He the launched into his cotton speech, r< viewing his work in and out of t: senate for the farmers. In the midst of Senator Smith speech he was interrupted by an age farmer, Mr. Nelson Jiolding, who, "c behalf of farmers of Pickens county presented the senator with a minii ture ''bale of cotton to put in yoi warehouse and hold as long as yc M please." T.^e senator gracefully an H sentimentally acknowledged the gii mm then resumed his speech at the coi W elusion of which he was presented 'noriHc."mo rwrootVi hv Bav [> 'I iiwiiuo - i vttta kjj mc ? .

Governor Blease who came on ti platform while Senator Smitfa w? speaking, said he was glad tie sen; tor received a respectful hearing; th; the "bale of cotton" was about a Smith would get in Pickens c-unt except a few soreheads, and that he bet not more than five farmers co: tributed towards tne flowers siven tl senator. The governor also declare that the man hollering loudest i< Smith was the sheriff of lAbbevil * county. "He's a good one, too," r tortea the inimitable Charley Lyo who did considerable hollering for tl governor two years ago.

L ! The governor made his usual at- \ tack on the new pri nary rules and the ; record of Senator Smit.i. He re .'erred s to his appointment of Capt.

Jennings Speaks. t it j L. D. Jennings declared he could $ s say that this was a Blease audience, j - but would give opponents of the gov- j r r ernor a respectful hearing. He dey fended and explained the new rules,; e rebutting tie charge that they were v made to deprive any white man of ins j y vote. He declared the governor spoke e truth:'ully when he said he -had not ^ d fo.led anvbodv and that it could al- , t y ways be known where the governor ^ i- stands, adding that he admired that ^ trait in the governor Mr. .Jennings Addressed most of his c j. romo rl/c l 1 it ' t r\ f r* u'novorc r*t ? 1 Clliftl UJ U W VV-UiJ" tv LII ^ ?? \^C4. 1 V_/ A O V/A i v-u lS badges, asking them if they wanted L_ the government or the past turee and f one-:alf years to continue, and how t n they would like to be treated as the c )_ anti-Blease people are n . w should a | ^ >1 man for whom they did not vote be r It elected.

I'll answer that question then i r- and not behind his back as a coward ;e like you." ] le Calling the chief executive a t n "damned liar," Mr. .Norwood swept < ?- aside Ue policemen standing beside , .e the little swinging gates to the inclosed stand and rushed toward the 's governor, fighting his way against >d other policemen and State detectives hi who sprang between. It was with difficulty t'hat the infuriated man was i- forced backward down the ten-foot ir. steDs. it reauirins the combined ef >u forts of half a dozen stalwart men to j id Keep liim from breaking through and j ;t, getting to the governor, who remain- | i- ed standing at the far corner of the i a stand, where he was when he made the i V". statement. ol From all sides the audience closed j in and Mr. Norwood was pressed j I back in the struggling mass equally j ie determined tu gei iulu u;?)e uicicc. ?>u- i is body was badly hurt, though many of i a- ih se in the mixup were struck with j it fists about the'face and breast. Mr. .11 Xcrvkcod had.blows directed at him i y, from all sides, but he was so active 'd that none was effectively delivered. I i-1 The question at issue today was: At ie the Abbeville meeting the governor | id devoted practically his entire time to j :>r an explanation of the parole of R. i le A Ricaey, who was convicted of ase saulting his 13-year-old adopted; n, daughter. When the convicted man ie had supposedly developed paralysis j the governor appointed a medical e- commission, composed of the late Dr. ! 1 * ?-> " _ , T" v ?

T!?^ inajor portion of tiie g,vernir's followers took toe governor at n lis word today and treked away when he governor had finished, the speakt having but little to say after Mr. ' sorwood had been taken fr.m the land, but the meeting was not over. g Cot only did Messrs. Jennings and 'olloek speak and get an enthusiastic vob.-ome too. but Mr. Norwood took hi: *tand after these two had their I n ' r av and flayed the govern r without aincing words, adding that he was lot talking "in confidence." t; "If w\hat Dr. Mcintosh said is true,' Jr. Norwood began, "then Blease is v'hat we all know him to be?a dirty, nfamous liar." ITVio onooL-ar ovnlainprl that thp Me- I v. ntosh family, when living in New- ( r lorry, "wouldn't" enter the home of ( lie Blease family and that the Blease e amily "couldn't" go into the home of he Mclntoshes. Mr. Norwood also re- B :ounted to the audience the governr's companions at the campaign T neeting of two years ago.
