HUES FOR
SEME BUSY
THE W0ULD-3E SENATORS HOLD
FIVE MEETINGS IN PIEDMONT
SECTION.
LITTLE SQUALLY AT TIMES
This Section of State Is Aiive With
Cotton Mills and Farmers and is
Real Battleground of the Race.
Co! i! i ? The past week in
the senatorial rice has bean one oi
many IV;;;iircs, features whi. h have a";
times lo.)';. d a little squally, i,>r both
the candidates offering lor this hi?h
office a id tor the voters who ha.e
heard tluni. There were only live
meetings kcM, and thc.-e were i:i the
Piedmont >c<i! on *:f i he s.ate wit ere
the major.;y of the voters live and
which is t o re J by all as the real
battle ground of lite race for the seaate.
This section of the .-tale is live
with cotton mills and seme of the
best farmers of the entire state li\e
there. In the past few years its complexion
cs a voting body presents
many interesting phases. In the r.ue
for the governorship two years ago,
Governor Itlease, now a candidate for
United States senator, carried Anderson,
Spartanburg, Pic-kens and made
a close run in Greenville and carried
Abbeville by a small majority. On
the other hand, the present senator,
E. D. Smith, candidate for re-election,
carried all of these counties by substantial
majorities. The other two
candidates for tlie office, Messrs. \V\
P. Pollock and L. D. Jennings, not
having before this entered state poli-!
ties their strength is problematical.!
There is much speculation as to the
result of the past week on the complexion
of the campaign, as each i
meeting was featured by attacks upon
the governor's record by W. P. Pollock
and L. D. Jennings and by attacks
upon the record of E. D. Smith
by the governor, as well as the defense
of Ills record by the encumbent.
AM of the candidates received their
meed of applause, and the friends of
each in the various counties visited
were read to actuaim anu proc-iaim
their loyalty to his candidate.
At Abbeville Governor Blease used
thirty "of the forty-five minutes allowed
him in explaining the status of the
now well-known Richey case, although
he stated at the outset that he was
not explaining or apologising for any
of his acts during his administration.
The Richey case was one where the
governor had been accused of pardonlug
a man who had been convicted of
assaulting his adopted fourteen-yearoM
daughter, and the governor read
from the stand many voluminous documents
in regard to it. He stated
that Richey had not been pardoned,
but that he was out on a bond of $5,000;
that he had issued the papers in
this case upon the recommendation of
the prison superintendent and the testimony
of two reputable physicians
who had been delegated by him to
~ ?? ?v?mln?(i'An Thoco nhvsi
liiaivu au cAAuuuuuvii. ? xvuv fv ? clans
were Dr. A. B. Knowlton, recently
deceased, and Dr. J. H. Mcintosh,
both of Columbia. He stated
that these physicians had stated that
Rlchey was a paralytic, and that freedom
would aid in his restoration to
health. Abbeville county is the home
of Richey, and this is the reason assigned
by the governor in explaining
the status of the case. The meeting
was devoid of other features, with the
exception of the presence of the cotton
bill as the emblem of the Smith
forces. It is estimated by K. H. Aull,
editor of the Newberry Herald and
News, that the meeting was antiBlease
in sentiment.
W. P. Pollock and L. D. Jennings
both made impressions at the Abbeville
meeting, and were received by
the crowd with cheers. They made
their usual attack upon Senator
Smith and Governor Blease. Mr.
Pollock stating that the record of
Senator Smith was too poor and that

upon. Pollock exhibited an election
ticket of 18S0 upon which the name of
J. P. Gibson, one of th colonels on
the staff of the governor appeared
alongside that of negroes who ran on
the republican ticket that year. He
stated that the governor appointed
James Sotttle, an Italian of Charleston,
on his staff, and that the latter
had not even gotten out naturalization
papers, being at the time of the
Appointment a citizen of Italy. He
criticized the pardon record of thf
governor, and took Senator Smith to
task for his inactivity at Washington.
He abated that Senator Smith nor anyone
else could raise the price of cot

' warm reception by his friends. Senator
Smith received one of the best
I webomes he has received yet at Anj
derson when his friends escorted him
I upon a bale of cotton in a wagon lead- i
I ing ten or twelve others to the speak- '
| ors stand. He defended his record
I and made %one of the most eloquent
speeches he has vet made. There
were man" white cotton blooms being
worn by his admirers, and lie was
frequently applauded. There was
[ some little heckling by the friends of
the governor.
The speech and reception of \V. P.
Pollock is said to have been the most
eloquent of any on the campaign, and
at the completion of his address he
was given what proved a complete
ovation. Air. Pollock made many
friends by his fearless and telltale
recounting of the record of Governor
Blease and of Senator Smith. He
showed again at Anderson the red republican
ticket with the name of one
of the governors staff printed thereon,
and denounced the pardon record
of the governor. He referred particularly
to the pardon of Allan Emerson.
a white man of Anderson county,
who was paruuneu uv me kuiuuui.
Tlie speaker was at first continually
heckled by some of the audience hut
soon quieted them by his blistering replies,
quickly gaining a hearing from
those who seemingly had an intention
of hindering him. He was accorded
the majority of the applause of the
day at Anderson. Mr. L. I). Jennings
made one of the best speeches he has
yet made and took up the record of
the governor. He was well received
and made many friends for himself.
Mr. Jennings took the governor to
task for his record.
The meeting at Walhalla was devoid
of any particular feature with
the exception of the characterization
of the governor by Mr. Pollock as
"feather legged," the speaker saying
that the governor would never stay
and hear the exposure of his record,
and that ho would never come to the
speaking until ju6t before his time
came to speak. Governor Blease devoted
his speech to an attack upon
Senator Smith in which he said that
the Senator is attempting to assert
that he was the cause of the rise in
the price of cotton. He flayed the
newspapers and criticised the appointments
which were made hy Senator
Smith. He severely criticised the recent
state convention, saying that it
was com posed of a set of thieves who
by the new set of rules are attempting
to rob the poor man of his vote.
Senator Smith spoke of his record
in Washington, and said that his life
had been devoted to the interest of
the farmers. He added a feature
when he submitted an affidvait from
C. P. Moorer of Dorchester county sating
that he was at Dorchester the
night of the Haskell convention. This
was made in answer to the charge of
the governor that he was a member
of the Haskell convention.
Nothing of importance happened at
Pickens, but it was a Blease crowd
and the governor met with a hearty
reception by hla friends. The speeches
of the other three candidates were
in line with the ones made heretofore.
At Greenville th? tenseness which
had been seemingly; prevading the atmosphere
of the upcountry broke
loose when the governor was asked
l rjucs'.ion by J. '77. Norwood, one of i 1
iio most prominent bankers of the M
tate. Mr. Xorwood asked the rov- ,
rnor: "How about Dr. Mcintosh." re- '
erriij.7 to the signed denial of Dr. J

He s-id !;e intended telling the record
of the governor from border to border

what kind of a governor they have

record of the governor, and took
Senator Smith to task for his record
of inactivity at Washington. He was

at the c!o<e of his address. After the
