[ sual Speeches?Blease Attacks;
Smith.
Voa-c ?j nrl Pmiri/fr
Forence, Aug. 11.?Supporters of
Governor Blease iirom iFlorence and
several adjoining c unties united today
and ga ve their candidate probably
the biggest demonstration he has received
siDce the opening of the campaign
?for toe United States senate.
Ii was stated here that the Blease
leaders in this section had for a week
or more been working to make today's
camiSkign meeting pretty much of a
Blease rally, and if such was the case
their efforts were successful to the ex
lent ci at least aiviamg cue uiunu
with the anti-Bleaseites. It was evident,
however, taat of the purely
Florence county portion of the audi-1
ence, a majority was not for the governor.
In opening the meeting State Sena- j
tor Joseph W. McCown, the county
chairman asked his "fellow Democrats
of Florence and neighboring counties"
to give each speaker a respectful
hearing.
Senator Smith, first, and Governor
Blease, second, spoke to between 2,000
ann 2,500 hut the time Mayor L. D.
Jennings was introduced me governor
Ibad departed, about one-toird of the
crowd following him. Quite a scattering
of Bleaseites, however, remained
and heard the governor's record lamtasted
bv Messrs Jennings and Pollock
It was said that .during the
speeches of these two candidates several
of the red badge wearers were
.seen to remove their crimson em'blems.
Blease Arrives.
Governor Blease arrived on the
stand a few minutes before the chairman
rapped for order. He came to the
meeting at the head of a procession!
of a dozen or more automobiles, all j
decorated wiCh banners inscribed, i
"Florence County for Cole. L. Blease.'" j
A great many of the anti-Blease
men wore white rM>on and white cotton
blooms.
The crowd at times was quite noisy,
due, perhaps to the fact that the dispensaries
were open awhile this morning.
.There was no real disorder, however,
and so far as could be learned no
arrests were made.
XI A J
-ueeiing upeueu.
The meeting was held in the grounds
of tie Dargan street central school.
State Senator J. W. McCown, the
county chairman, in calling the meeting
to order addressed the crowd as
"fellows Democrats of Florence and j
neighboring counties." Tie Rev. R. T
Gillesiie, of the First Presbyterian
church, offered prayer.
Senator E. D. Smith, the first speak- j
er, was received witn applause, mingled
with cheers for the governor. The
senator said he desired to * let his
friends know the physical condition lnu
'tfhida he found himself as result of
his hurried trip to Washington and
return without missing a campaign
meeting. The senator then told the
crowd about the conference in Wash- j
ington Sunday, when the matter of
government aid in the present cotton
crisis was discussed. He told of his
efforts to have federal funds sent te ;
the small banks in the South to be
tent to the farmer, with' cotton as
collateral. He declared he would
rather be instrumental in relieving
present conditions than be returned
to the United States senate, if it
came to a choice.
Held His Cotton.
The senator was asked what he had j
done with his cotton when he was advising
other to hold. He declared he |
had held his and that the man who I
stated otherwise was "a dirty liar."
At this point there was ->n attempt
by some of the Bleaseites to interrupt
the senator, when Sheriff Thomas S.
Burcn intervened, asKing in&i, mc
crowd maintain order and give eack
candidate a respectful hearing. To
one man who tried to interrupt him,
t&e senator said, "if you had as much
brains as niouiih you'd take that red
badge off.'' "1 liis started more noise,
the sheriff again pleading .for order
and asking the would-be disturbers
to "act like white men:'
The senator delivered most of his
regular cotton speech/ reviewing his
work for the farmers, and concluded
by declaring that "despite t!?.e world,
the flesh, the devil and these tlhree
lawyers, I'm going back to the senate
to work six years more for those
who sent me there." He received prolonged
applause.
Loving Cnp for Blease.
Justvbefore being introduced, u-orernor
Blease was presented with a
handsome silver loving cup, inscribed:
"To our Governor, Coleman Liv,
ingstou Blease. From his Florence
~ ??

v ::.ty Frknds, 1! . 4."
! The presentation w:.s made by
.. airmail MeCown. tiie go.<-n.?.>r responding
a;. ! express:!)*- hi- thanks
'.eelingly. He said 1m- would take tiie
c'.p to tve K i and give it to the
!
j"best Icokin- red-headed woman in
j South Carolina."
The Norwood Incident.
T.e governor, referring to the Xori
wood incident during the campaign
: meeting in Greenville, declared that
j J. IW. Xcrwood came on the stand
and "attempted to assassinate the I
' governor of South Carolina." Reading j
from "Men of Mark,'' the governor i
said Mr. Norwood had since the Chi- i
cago conventicn been voting the Republican
ticket, and that his "attempt"
! in Greenville was to help "tinis (Nor-,
j wood's) Haskell friend, Smith,"
i whom, however, added the governor,
'
the affair had injured.
The governor launched into his
usual criticism of Senator Smith's record,
with particular reference to the
appointment of United State Marshal

enue Collector D. C. Heyward, in all
of which, the governor declared, the
| farmer !had been ignored.
"All of this war scare is talk," said
the governor, who further declared
that the ill effects would net be felt
long. When the governor urged the
holding of cotton, somebody asked
him how to do it and "how about
warehouses. The governor replied
that in his opinion! the warehouse |
scheme is for the purpose of helping \
a tfew men "to unload some brick
buildings."
The governor said the main way in
which Rleaseism has hurt the State
was to "keep a lot of hobces out of
office and put decent men in." He
read his usual statistics.
Refers to Pardons.
Referrring to pardons, the governor
said: "If it hadn't been for the pardoning
power of God Almighty ever)
Smithite wouJd nave Deen in nen long
ago," while his supporters loudly applauded.
The governor declared that he had
in his "2ood reasons" for every !
parole or commutation granted by him,
! "Any man who says, by word a: act,
| that 1 have ever received one cent, or
| that any of my agents, with my conj
sent has received anything, is a dirty,
lying, blackguard ana cowara, saia
Governor Blease. The governor received
a bcfx of handsome fkwers.
L. D. Jennings Speaks.
Mayor L. D. Jennings of Sumter said
he noticed the same men wearing red
badges at a number of the meetings
and that they could not be residents of
"all these counties." Mr. Jennings said
the governor claimed be had two men
at each club, and, said the speaker,
these two men are 'for the purpose of
voting those men who haven't sense
enough to vote themselves, but that

governor in the senate. He said a
great many good men are wearing red
badges. "You're rigit there," came
from a Bleaseite.
I "But when these good men have their
eyes opened they'll cut their threats
before they'll vote for Cole. L. Blease,"
added Mr. Jennings, with wfoich, however,
tfre red badfee wearers disa- ,
greed.

rnent about Smithites and the Almighty's
pardoning power, L\lr. Jennings
said that had it not been for the "accident"
two years ago, which kept
the governor in office, many Bleaseites j
would now be in the penitentiary. He
said the govern:r had likened himself i
to the Almighty, and that "Bleaseism '
is a thousand times worse than heath- j
enism/' I
Reviews Saunders Case.
iThe speaker then reviewed the j
Saunders case, asking, "Do you j
Bleaseites approve of that?"
i "Yes," replied one Bleaseite: "everything
Blease does is all aright/' from
another, the speaker retorting, "If you j

I wife won't let you live with her."
"WLio is Chicco supporting?" some '
one in the crowd asked.
"Blease, ever since he came out," replied
the speaker, who aded that vot-!
ers could he bought in Charleston for '
'tfrom 50 cents to one dollar a head." j
\Tr Tonnino's told the Bleaseites that if!
I they wanted to vote with "that bunch"
to move to 'Charleston.
To Miss Attack.
The speaker delcared that tJhe governor
took his followers away with him
because he knew if they heard th j
| truth they could no longer be led to
j tbe ballot box like sheep; that the gov|
ernor, when it was necessary Tor him
! to take a stand, was always found on
| ttae side of the "despoilers of woman- |
j hood." He then presented the record in i
J the R- A. Richey case, telling the j
Bleaseites that if thev endorsed all the
other pardons, "for God's sake condemn
that one/' adding that he would j
not "have the votes of those "who did,
j endorse it "to rapresent you in t&efocti
tomless pits of hell or anywhere else."
jMr. Jennings concluded amid loud ap

Pollock Hoard.
Mr. \\\ P. Po)iO(-:C said ho had *.ieon
[Galled upon a: the hotel this morn:
i?.i; by r vresonta-iv*>s thf iO.-aso _
faction in Florence county, who. said
, the speaker, requested him not ro say :
| anything offensive about those who in j
i .heir judgment, would vote i or Gov-j
i ernor Blease. He declare.! that t'r.is !
i
i request was unnecessary, as every j
i vcter had a right to cast his ballot as j
he pleased; that South Carolinians j
could be depended on to do the right ;
tcing.
"To leave you home," came from
somebody in the crowd.
"Yes, but to leave me home to help
pile up the ashes on the political
corpse of Cole. L. Blease," retorted the
. weaker, who called attention to the
departure from the. stand of tine governor,
accompanied by many of Ms
supporters, as soon as the executive
concluded his speech. Mr. Pollock displays
two cartoons at the expense ?f
the governor, while the crowd cheered

ernor "did not have the South Carolina
manhood to stay here and take 'Ms
medicine."
Can't Make Forecast.
The speaker said he could not promise,
judging the future by the past,
that "his ::raudulency, Cole. L. Blease,"
would not, if elected to the senate, be
found lined up "with the Bull Moosers
and Republicans." He declared that
.-l I
tjjie governor nau vima-ieu ms wuj \jl
office by refusing to appoint primary
nominees in Georgetown, Bamberg,
Aiken, Spartanburg and Chesterfield
counties.
"Tell us about 'Josh' Kinven; he's
here today," came from the crowd.
"Cole Blease is the greatest nigger
lover the State has ever had," said Mr.
Pollock; also called attention to the
large number of negroes turned out
+Jx. LUC ycxiit^utiai
The speaker said that two years ago a
the governor, on every stump, called ^
Judge Jones a niggger lover, but when a
the governor got to Lancaster "to 11
catch a few votes," he told the people
that Judge Jones was a mighty fine C:
man and should be put back on the Su- C
preme bench. Ci
Mr. Pollock made his usual re.er- n
ence to the appointment of the governor's
staff, and exhibited the "Union p
Reimblican" ticket of 1880. , I ^
The Mcintosh Case.
o
Wlion tbe speaker declared that .
some "p:or, deluded, miserable Bleaseite*'
shot Dr. Mcintosh, there came
s,
from the crowd-several cries of "Prove
c
it," Mr. Pollock saying he would prove ^
it by the governor's own words, quoting
the governor as saying Dr. IMcIntosh
wouldn't lie and that Dr. Mcintosh
stated that his assailant, while
(>
escaping yelled back, "Now you won't
bother Coley tomorrow."
IJ
He asked why the governor :had not
offered a reward for the capture of the
man wio shot Dr. Mcintosh or for the ^
man who, according to Dr. Mcintosh, ^
forged the latter's name to the certifi- p
cate in the Richey case.. ^
"What are you running ifor?'' some- ^
body asked the speaker, who retorted, S(
"I'm running to bury Cole Blease and
I'm doing it in a fourry."
Mr. Pollock's reading of the parody
on "Old King Cole," and the Charles- ?
ton list for "forriners" brought many ^
hearty laughs, even the Bleaseites who ?
remained joining in. ^
The speaker said he hoped the man $
whose record he's been dbliged to ex-' ^
pose will go back to Newberry and be q
9 better man, for ^
G
''While the light 'holds out to'burn, ^
The vilest sinner may return." y
S
In conclusion he urged the voters _
not to endorse the record of Governor T
Blease ana spread South Carolina's
di'serace all over the United States. E
He closed to long and ud applause,
a great many men crowding on the n
s.and and shaking hit hand. t:
