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.

4ad For Three Summers Mrs. Vin
cent Was Unable to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“I suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst.
1 had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.
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.
After I began taking Cardui, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re
lieved me entirely. ,
I fattened up, ana grew so much
stronger in three months, 1 felt like an
other person altogether.”
Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, vonic
effect, on the womanly constitution
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy. -
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.
