- m {Continued from first page.) proof. Mr. Jennings Aid he hoped to be able to show that many tonvicts were turned loose without petitions. He re* < ferred to the case of Mack Stokes; who was convicted of selling liquor in Orangeburg, sentenced, appealed and was pardoned before the case reached 7,the Supreme Court At the meeting * in Orangeburg Gov ernor Blease was asked by someone in the audience to “tell us who asked you to pardon Mack Stokes,” to which the governor replied, “None of your busi ness.’ Nothin* bat “Ni**er.’ Mr. W. P. Pollock ^aid many men who came to cheer for “their man Blease” and to hear him gp away be cause they “don’t want to hear the truth about Cole L. Blease.” He de clared he had listened to the governor’s speech and had heard nothing but “nigger, nigger, nigger, that’s all, and he’s turned a lot of them out.” He said he was sick and tired of “nigger, nigger, nigger.” He said he read in papers that Governor ( Blease wanted to pardon his negro chauffeur, who had been fined by the Columbia recorder for speeding. “Give it to him! Tell ’em about it!” came from the crowd. Mr. Pollock said he thought “this man who talks so about ‘nigger’ all the time was a trustee of the negro college at Orangeburg.” He said Blease had been claiming a majority of from 18,000 to 20,000 until he got to Walterboro, when he dropped to from 8,000 to 11,000. He said the governor’s claim that he was as strong . as ever was due to his desperation. RapudUtad Platform. Mr. Pollock again read and comment ed on Governor Blease’s “declaration of principles” as announced by the execu- tiye in a speech at Walterboro some time before the campaign opened. The speaker declared that it was a good platform, on which every man should stand, but he declared that, judging from the governor’s record, the latter had repudiated every plank. Mr. Pollock declared that Governor Blease had vetoed more Acts than any other Governor, among the vetoed Acts being the appropriation for the eradi- • cation of the cattle tick Makes* Suggestion. Referring to the statement attributed to Governor Blease that in case of war with Mexico he (the Governor) would lead the South Carolina troops, Mr. Pollock suggested, should war come, that the Governor be put at the head of the troops and shoved into the heart of Mexico, then that the troops drop back and let the Mexicans eat him up.” v “Couldn’t get him there,” “Couldn’t get him to North Carolina,” came from the crowd. “No, he wouldn't go to Mexico,"said the speaker. “He's only bluffing, like he’s been bluffing for the last four years.” ■ “Why, down in' Charleston, where Governor Blease appointed the king of blind tigers on his staff, Jim Sottile, ,, when you pass in review you’ve got to salute a little sawed-off blind tigerDago, Jim Sottile,” said the speaker. "Not going to do it,’’.someone in the audience replied. “No, the people won’t stand for it,” said the candidate. I Read Nam;■ of “Fur.iner*.’’ Mr. Pollock again read the names of a number of “furriners” as they ap peared in the published list of chal lenged applicants for enrolment in Club 2, Ward 8, in Charleston, and his pro nunciation of some of the names showed that he had made no progress in this direction since his first attempt. The audience was convulsed with laughter during the reading of the names. Mr. Pollock said he understood more than five hundred tried to get on the club rolls, and, said he, “you 'Van see by the names they are rank foreigners, corralled by Vincent Chicco and Jim Sottile to kill your votes.” “If you want to be lined up with blind tigers and gamblers,” he said, “vote for Blease; if not, vote for an other.” Replying to the Governor regarding the "Portland Ned” affair, M’r. Pollock stated that the indictment in the case shows “James Johnson, alias Portland Ned,” and the other aliases. He also stated that when he said at Beaufort “perhaps ‘Portland Ned’ left in the Governor’s suit,” he meant this only as a pleasantry; that he didn’t really think such had been the case, and if the Governor said it wasn’t so he’d take the Governor’s word forlt, but, said Mr. Pollock, “I won’t let any man call me a liar.” Opimoa of South aod BIoom. While he thought Senator Smith bet ter Governor Blease, Mr. Pollock said he didn’t think much of Smith; that Blease bad a bad record and Smith ^ -1- a ‘foke.” . be kind of man Governor Blease is?" the fir*** | ‘rio came oack from the crowd. ‘Then,” continued Mr; Pollock, “you should set youf children s better exam ple, for If you join hands with race track gamblers, blind tigers and ex convicts you can’t blame your boys for going wrong allttle. ’ ’ The audience loudly applauded this. When the governor asked for a min ute at the close of Mr. Pollock’s speech to answer a charge by Mr. Pollock, it looked as if the governor would be howled down by calls for Senator Smith. The governor waited patiently a minute and then enclaimed that he knew what he was doing. “I asked permission from the chairman, and I also get Senators Smith’s per mission to make a brief reply,” he said. W. H. Duncan, the presiding officer, said that this permission had been granted, and that the governor should have an oppertunity to make a reply, regardless of their disapproval. The boisteroesness than subsided, and the governor was allowed to explain. Crowd With Smith. Senator Smith was in splendid form and had the crowd from the time he began his speech. He declared that twenty-five years ago there was a de mand for s change in conditions in this State. He traced the Tillman move ment down to the Constitutional Con vention. He said that the instrument which is now the basic law of South Carolina was written by reformers led by Benjamin R. Tillman, but, said the Senator, the charge has been made here to-day “that Ed Smith voted to give the family of a rapist 12,000.” The Senator then read the section of the Stable Constitution, written, he said, “by that intrepid and matchless gladiator, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, one year before I went to the Legisla ture,” providing that when a person is lynched in this State, the county wherein the lynching takes place shall be liable to the family of person lynched in the sum of 12,000. “Your Governor, standing before you to-day, had he been fair and square,’’ said the Senator with considerable em phasis, “would have given you the ori gin’of this law. Governor Blease, in his speech, bad charged that Senator Smith voted for such a law. Senator Smith declared that he had so far refrained from saying anything about any man’s record; that “if my record is not known, no man can tell it; if his is not known, no one can tell it to you.” He asserted that never since he has been big enough to serve the people Had he done that of which he was ashamed or for which he had to make an apology. He knew there were men here to-day who voted against him, but, said he, he had no animosity, only profound pity. He said l.e couldn't separate the chaff from the wheat, but that on August 25th, “the chaff will be winnowed away.” Says Lawyer* Great Speaker*. Lawyers are great talkers, said the Senator, and never know when to stop, but had to have time called on them. He asked if either of his op ponents had given a good reason why he should go to the Senate. He de clared that two years r.go some peo ple thought that Governor Blease’s record did not entitle him to a second term, but that he (Smith) invited the people to search his record from 1909, when he entered the Senate. He de clared he had “kept the faith” and that any honest man who voted for him before should search his record and if he found nothing against him should vote for him again, for “the la borer is worthy of his hire,”' which brought a splendid round of applause from the crowd. Senator Smith declared there was no use for him to take up time digging into any man’s record. “I don’t need it,” he said, adding that he would “wipe up the whole bunch on August 25, and what I’ll do for them will be a plenty.” After talking about cotton K a few minutes, the Senator declared he was “going back on the 25th of August to the United States Senate with the same zeal and enthusiasm for those I have represented, plus six years of ex perience, to continue the work for the upbuilding of grand old South Caro lina.” Flowers were in evidence again. Governor Blease received four bouquets, one from the young daugh ter of Col Charles Carroll Sitnms, can didate for Governor, and as a token of appreciation the Governor planted a kiss on the cheek of the dainty little gjr'. Two bouquets were presented to Sena tor Smith. '"«■ -■ Franklin H.Fogl*r. Allendale, June 27.—Franklin H.

I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when I finally decided to try CorduL the woman’s tonic, and k firmly believe I would have died if I hadn’t taken it.
