V. D. Smith to appropriate owner*
ship today, when the city was taken
In hand by farmers and tnrfced over
to the United States senator.
When the time arrived this morn
ing for the speaking to begin, a
pageant of 11 wagons twice circled
the court house, with the senator ou
the first, perched high up on two
bales of cotton, Another uf the
train be re the “hoe brigade.” each
oreupant bearing goose-necked wea
pons. One man. acting the part of
a clown, rode barebacked^a dusky
male* plastered with sampics of coi-
ton from its nose to tfce end of. its
tail, the man himself wearing a
mask of cotton whiskers and a -coat
covered with splotches of Tint. A
brass band of 12 pieces occupied
another wagon, and crashed out
lively airs as' the parade went by.
In the other wagons were larmers
‘heir wives and daughters. there
being in all 89 men anti 23 women.
Pour mounted scouts led the proces
sion. each bearing a banner Inscrib

horseback were D. L. Barnes. N. M.

t?r, three of these being leading
inters in the county.
Senator Smith today tore off the
mask of indifference and cited his
record in answer to three different
charges preferred by the governor.
The first wasr that he had voted to
pay $2,000 to a negro family in fhe
*vent a member of that .amity nan
been lynched. This, th*> speaker
said.had been written into the or

legislature, be took an oath to “pre

sitution of .this State.

while his ardent supporters em
phatically shouted their approval.
The governor made it clear today
that he would continue to disregard
the Attacks which two of the can

cord. Referring to this, he said:
“I ignore those who put themselves

dare to criticise any'-cause
for whom It was inauguarted’ be-
cauteln that pageant there was com
d>ination which should fire the heart
of every Sou^h Carolina. In that
parade there came into conjunction
this morning two things that make
our State" 1 prosperous and glorious—
the silken fibre of cotton. In which
there is every f’.rcwt apd church, cv-
"ry rchool houre. comforts.and coa-
eniencc of every home, and wear
ing the bloom from that cotton, was
the pride and glory of South C#ro-

womanhood. I want, no granoer c:..
blem for my .coat or arm than, the
bloom of the cotton worn by noble
£outh Carolina women, and 1
•hank Ucd that was my badge this
morning.
“Now let’s get down to the record.
Before I b*gan to talk »otton end
the currency question. I want to re
fer to some statements this morning.
Tho governor said that I had voted
to give 1 $2.090 to the family or on“
lynched. Mr. Tillman and the re
form party of-South Carolina wrote
that intp the organic law of thin
Stale, and when I went to the State
legislature. I took a solemn oatn
that 1 would ‘preserve, protect and
