===== 1
If there were no farms^ around
Bamberg there would be no town
Sr* ...
here, for every enterprise is depend- (
fent either directly or indirectly on j
the man who till6 the soil.
? i
The governor took no notice of ]
the questions of Hon. H. C. Folk and ]
by his silence thereby referred them
to the voters, who will answer the i
questions on the 25th day of August.
The senatorial experience of E. D. (
Smith and his knowledge of agrieul- ;
tural conditions place him in posi- <
tion to be of most service to the
people generally, and he will no i
doubt be returned to the U. S. Sen- j
i' s ate for another six years by a lar^e 1
majority.
*
Information comes to us from the i
Denmark section that the governor l
lost many a vote in that section by <
his reference to a lynching which <
took place many years ago. The peo- j
pie there resent this being brought <
into a campaign, as it happened near- <
ly twenty years ago. 1
j m t
We have not been able to verify t
the alleged remark said to have been j
made in a drug store here last Sat- i
urday in reference to the governor, t
but if such a remark was made we <
feel sure no threat was intendld <
against the life of anybody, but it 1
merely referred to the defeat of the i
governor and his consequent retire- \
ment from politics.
At the campaign meeting here last j
Saturday Hon. H. C. Folk propound- i
ed the following question to the gov- r
ernor: "Is a man who violates his j
oath at the ballot box a fit person to ?
send to the United States Senate?" (
The governor declined to answer the z
question, and did not refer to it at t
>. all, but the people will answer this 2
question on the day of the primary ?
and their answer will be "No!" c
It is no pleasure for us to criticize
the governor, and while he may not
think so, our flies will show that we j
have commended him when we
thought he was right. But we do ,
not see how any Democrat can sup- ^
yui l mm aiLci ms auuuu iu ujiug
to override the will of the people as .
expressed at the ballot box. He took *
an oath to support the nominees of ,
the party and yet he not only failed
to appoint Mr. H. C. Folk as Master
of this county after he had been *
nominated in the same primary with ]
the governor, but he actually appoint- '
ed another person to the office. However,
the Senate refused to confirm
the governor's appointee and Mr.
Folk is still holding the office of j
Master for Bamberg county. If
there had been any charges against
Mr. Folk there might have been
. some ground for refusing to appoint '
him, but, as is well-known all over <
the State, Mr. Folk is one of the best 1
citizens of the county, and had at- '
tended to the duties of the office ably ]
and efficiently, it appears his only '
sin was that he did not vote for the J
governor two years ago. Not only i
is all of the above true, but the chief I
oYor>ntivp treated Mr. Folk verv dis- '
courteously in refusing to answer the
telegram sent him during January of
1913, and his action here at the campaign
meeting last Saturday, when
Mr. Folk presented a copy of the telegram
and asked for an answer, was
rude in the extreme, for he not only
tore the paper to bits but spat on
the pieces and trampled them on the
floor. This it seems to us is good '
cause why no Democrat in this coun- :
ty should vote for him. i
- j - _ ... .^ l
We feel sure nobody in Bamberg
wishes the death of the governor, but,
on the contrary, they want him to (
live. Those who favor him wish him
to live to be elected and those who
are opposed to him wish him to live
to be defeated. ]
In the first primary of 190$ Bam- !
berg county gave E. D. Smith 709
votes against 4S9 for his six oppon- (
ents. In the second primary, when j
a much smaller vote was cast, he re- j
ceived 663 votes against 175 for his ,
opponent, Jno. Gary Evans. We j
ought to do fully as well or better ^
for him this year, and there is little ,
doubt that we will. ("
While Senator Smith has never J
been anything else but a farmer and
his work in the interest of the producing
class has been especially energetic
and successful, still he does not
draw all his support from the farming
element. His supporters are to
be found in all vocations, for they 1
realize that all their prospertiy depends
on the farmer and therefore
the man who works to benefit the
fnrmpr is also working for them.
GOVERNOR IGNORES FOLK. *
[Continued from page 1, column 5] J
tally different names when written I
out in full, that this arrangement was 1
absolutely necessary to prevent another
man's voting in your place."
When the speaker concluded his 1
discussion of the State convention (
that framed the primary rules there 1
was a shout "Hurrah for the State (
convention." 1
After Others' Records.
Then the speaker took up the rec- ^
ords of his opponents. "I have no
public record," the speaker said. (
"And ain't you glad of it?" came (
back from the crowd. Senator Smith's (
record, Mr. Jennings chimed, was on- .
ly "cotton." t
"Oh, no," some one answered, "that s
won't go."
"It consists mainly in a few resolu- n
:ions offered in congress," the speak- a
sr went on, "to investigate Hayne h
ind others vto prevent gambling in a
:otton futureV"
This criticism was keenly relished, n
ind calls of "That's right," and "Tell j,
t to them, Jennings," followed in a
apid succession. f(
Nothing the speaker said about the ^
governor elicited more applause than n
when he said: "The governor says
le's proud of his record. Then he j.
should at least be proud of me, for I n
ixpect to help him to exhibit that g
*ecord on every stump in South Car- s
>lina." When Mr. Jennings was de- a
;rying the idea of petitions signed j
by the juries, somebody said the y
'jurymen have just found out that j,
;hey are mistaken." The speaker's re- t<
>ly was, "Then all these 14,000 jury- e
nen must have been awfully ignor- s
int." This was followed by much
ihering, and an adherent of the gov- ^
jrnor, sitting on the edge of the plat- tl
!orm, kept repeating "Go to it, Jen- t,
lings; if I don't vote for Blease I'll g
rote for you." f
Mr. Pollock urged the voters, when n
;he time for making a selection came, c;
lot to measure him around the waist, ^
iut around the hatband. He also
eminded Bamberg citizens that he t!
lad behind him no political machine, n
'I have done nothing for you," he i(
jontinued. "I have neither appointed
my of you to office, nor have I grant- a
?d any of you pardons." He only b
isked for the votes of the ugly men. fl
'Then you'll sure be elected," some t<
>ne answered..
"Yes, and I'll gat your vote," the c<
ipeaker called back. t a
"What are you going to do with ^
31ease," another asked.
"I'll get to that presently," Mr. Pol- c
ock shot back, and someone in an- ^
ither part of the crowd volunteered b
he information, "nothing, I can an- a
;wer that." * d
The speaker then discussed the v
iValterboro speech of the governor, p
md pronounced .some practices of the
jovernor when paralleled with the
principles as set forth in this speech g
is "the most monumental of jokes." .
The two to which he gave particular t
ittention were the enforcement of g
:he law in conformity with the veriict
of the courts of the law and trial t
35* jury. j
Honor Roll Rouses Mirth. f
No stu..c that any candidate has t
"pulled off" during the campaign has g
created more genuine merriment c
than the reading of Mr. Pollock's S
"honor roll" of "furriners," taken c
from certain club lists in Charleston, a
rhe speaker's pronunciation of these '
rhythmical names, in a strictly polish- 1
ed stacatto nasal strain, has not yet $
failed to convulse any audience on 1
which it has been tried. When this
had been read Saturday the speaker s
asked: "Do you want those people, r
who can't speak a word of English, 1
and who are voted by corrupt politi- '
cians as dumb driven cattle, to gov- ?
ern South Carolina?" c
"When the chorus of .sos" had i
died down, he further asked: "Do t
you want to be lined up with Vincent I
Chicco, Jim Sottile, the Italian Dago c
and king of blind tigers, on the gov- v
ernor's staff If you don't, they are (
HIS STAND OX LIQUOR.
Llinkseales X?t Running on Tliis
Question.
The following taken from the Columbia
State of July 2id is self-explanatory:
ro the .Editor of The State:
In your issue of June 30, reporting
:he State campaign meeting at Darlington
on June 29. your headlines
:iave the following statement. "Clinkscales
Declares for State-wide Proiiibifion
and Promises to Enforce
r an- " In the body of your report
vou say this: "Going further, Mr.
ZMinkscales said that he would not advocate
a State-wide prohibition law,
but that he would see that the law
was enforced in the dry and w?t
counties alike and fight blind tigers
everywhere." Again you have him
say, "I hope this liquor question will
aot be brought up again for it has
nothing to do with this campaign."
Will you please inform an interested
reader which of the above statements
are true. 1 am sure it was not
vour purpose to mislead the public
is to the position taken by Mr. Ciinkisales,
but as it is we are left in
loubt as to what Mr. Clikscales
eallv said, your headline being ap)arently
inconsistent with the body of
vour report. Sam'l L. Prince.
The headline referred to was somewhat
misleading. The State does not
consider that Mr. Clinkscales is run
ling as a State-wide pronioiuou iau-1 _
iidate.. He is not advocating State- 11
wide prohibition. Mr. Clinscales, it 11
seems, is personally in favor of pro- I 8
libition, but that is a different thing 11
from advocating it and forcing it as I 8
in issue on the stump. The failure I 1
:o make the headline clear as to Mr. 11
Tlinkscales' position was uninten-111
;ional.?Editor of The State. J B
he ones with whom the governor has I 8
Senator Smith said that his oppo- I 8
ents had been trying to divorce him I 8
nd "Miss Cotton," "my old sweet- 11
eart." "They've been trying to ere- I 8
te family trouble," he continued. 18
They can't divide us. We will re-||B
lain inseparable until we are clothed I 8
a purple and fine linen." The sen- I 8
tor then quoted Scripture to the ef- I 8
ect that the Lord chasteneth them I fl
hom He loveth. "Then he certainly I 8
lust love me," he went on. For all
[me I thought that I'd have only one I 8
iwver to chase me in South Caroli- I I
a. Lo and behold. I nov have three. I fl
ome of you will understand why it is IB
o devilish hard to' get something II
one in the United States senate when, I 8
remind you that we have 78 law- I 8
ers among the 96 senators in Wash- I fl
lgton. On every measure each has I fl
o have his say. They can talk on I I
ither side equally well, and then I 8
plit the difference." ! 8
Senator Smith explained to Bam- I 8
erg citizens how they couia iaKe 11
heir-papers on real estate or agricul- II fl
ural prodicts to a member bank and I fl
et money on this as collateral. Hie I I
urther made it clear that if the I fl
loney could not be had from the lo- II fl
al bank, then all that was necessary I fl
ras that the local banker ehoirld in- I fl
orse the paper and forward it to I fl
be central regional bank and the I fl
lonev drawn 'from that through the | fl
>cal member. J 9
Some one in the crowd asked Sen- I fl
tor Smith what Ben Tillman had | fl
een doing. "Fighting the world, the J fl
esh and the devil." the junior sena- I I
jr was quick to retort. 1 fl
Another wanted to know how much I fl
otton the speaker planted. "Well, 11
sight more than I can tend, I guess." 11
as the reply. I fl
Senator Smith dismissed the ac- II I
usation that Hoke Smith of Georgia I fl
as the author of one of the Smith I fl
ills by saying that "the Georgia sen- I I
tor had no more to do with intro- II fl
ucing that bill than he had to do I fl
*ith the nebular hypothesis or the | fl
lan of salvation." j fl
Same Old Story. I B
The governor'again took Senator I B
mun 10 iasK on me suujeui ui naa;elllsm"
when he said the senator
ried to defeat Ben Tillman. He alo
taxed the senator with voting,
i-hile a member of the State legislaure,
against a separate coach law.
le said that Senator Smith did not
avor a resolution, offered at the Balimore
convention by a Western deletion,
to repeal the 14th amendment
>f the constitution of the United
States. He referred to the lynching
>f a negro in Bamberg county for
ittacking a white girl and added:
'Yet some of you here today are holering
for a man who voted to pay
12,000 to any negro's family that was
ynched. That man is Senator Smith."
The governor again paid his repects
to the State convention and the
lew primary rules \hen formulated,
rhese. he said, were concocted in the
Jefferson hotel, Columbia. The delerates.
he said, did not act like Demorats,
with Democrats, neither as if
n convention, but rather in caucus
>ehind closed doors. Referring to
lis pardons, he said that he had parloned
four already last week, and
could pardon another when he got to
Columbia Saturday night.
