Pollocks Scores Blease. |
This meeting was markpd by strone
speeches of W. P. Pollock in scoring
the governor's record. Mr. Pollock
said that there were three candidates
In the race for the senatorship who
ire knew would keep their campaign
pledges, but that he could not vouch
for he governor's keeping his pledge.
He said that he had violated his j
pledge to support the nominees of the j
primary when h?> refused to appoint
J. E. Murray as master but appointed I
L. M. C. OHverofi, who was spoken
of as the pardon broker of Aiken j i

governor to abide the results of the
primary by his not appointing as auditor
of Bamberg county H. C. Folk,
who had been nominated by the people.
He gave the governor's record
as regards appointments upon his
staff and replying to the chief executive's
statement from day to day in
regard to "HaskeUtes" he cited the
namine by the governor of the son
of a Republican upon his staff: of
the appointment of the governor to
his staff of J. P. Gibson, who ran on
the red Republican ticket in 18S0
along with negroes, and his appointment
of James Sot ile as a member
of his staff. He said that white boys
of South Carolina bad to march in review
before this "sawed off Dago,"
and before these men who had before
been affiliated with Republicans. He
eaid that the father of one of the
governor's colonels had as a law partner
a negro; lie said that it was a
pity that the state troops did not have
to fro to Mexico, as the sipht of the
governor with his "little dapro colonel"
bftinrr taken care of by the Mexicans
won Id have been a plorious one to
mrny people, but that this treatment
would he nothinc to what the people
of 'his state would do for Please and
for Bleasism fhe t"*enty-fifth of August.
He received much applause and
calls for a continuance when he had
concluded.
Jenninps Makes Good Speech.

Senator Smith Has No Apology.
Senator Smith made a teU tale
snepeh in favor of his record. He said
that he had been aroused of beine a
man of hut one idea, and that he had
Wr ahused for sivinp all his time to
the farmers. He -aid he had no apol>pr
to make to anyone for pivinp all
if his tilnp towards remedying conlifiins
in thp agricultural districts of
ho South. In speaking of fnctionalsni.
hp said that he was not trying
:o array class against class, but that

Rhich is the foundation to all pros
jerity, referring to the farmers. He
ipoke of his activity in aiding the adninistrntion
at Washington. and his
efforts in behalf of the fanners. He

The next speaker was the governor

governor there took a shot at practicably

criticised the recent Democratic state
convention for passinp a set of rules
which would disfranchise the poor i
man. he said. He said hia side, however
had enrolled while the other side
were asleep, and that he would win I
out in August by 8,000 to 13,000 majority.
He paid his respects to a caucus
which had been called by the
members of the Aiken county delegation
to the recent convention, this
caucus to meet in the capital city
soon. He said it would be a "rump"
convention and asked the question,
"Why do they want to eliminate anybody
from the governor's race, if they
ore not whipped?" This was in reference
to the call which was to eliminate
some of the anti-administration
candidates so as to centre upon one
man and elect an anti-Blease candi5
