BLEASE CALLED LIAR AT SUMTER MEETINE WHEN HE STATED IN SPEECH THAT JENNINGS WAS HIRED TO HEIiP SMITH ONLY SAID WAS FUNKY The Final Mooting of the Campaigi in (ho Senatorial C ampaign Comes off at Sumter Last Thursday,? Governor Called I)o\wi hy 10. I) Smith. The campaign meeting in the Senatorial race at Sumter last Thursday was the last in the schedule. Wher the meeting was ready to start Governor Blease was driven to the place of meeting in a float. Senator K. D Smith was given a rousing ovation at t.TT commencement of his speech, lit eulogized the farmer as the great hen efactor of the human race. He stated r^nat because of the damnable banking system there was not enough money in circulation to buy the necessaries and the luxuries, while large crops were being produced. He described the new banking and currency laws, the difference in the old and the present system he said was this: w JJnder the former statute the owners of the gold and bom's yyere the masters of the wealth of the country, under the regional banking system tii* real wealth of the world, the product of the field, the forest and the mine is made the basis of collateral security. He then told of drafting into the <?m?\v banking and currency law the amendment which gave the farmer six months time instead of 90 days, as was in the onVinni mn-icm-n ? ?" ' * Ho made his usual sarcastic flings at the lawyers. Ho said the farmers thought they had to elect the lawyers to- congress, but now the farmer is holding his own and would elect his own kind to the office. Senator Smith roikjganto the discussion on his old cavalry Ahorse joke. The same joke wiilwlii here at the Horry meeting and brought round after round of laughter. The speaker then described the lack of knowledge of the farmer in the cotton grades, and he told how he got an appropriation which resultec in the standardizing of the grades o^ cotton. The buyers, he said, made difference of $15 a bale between "lov ordinary" and middling" and whei the staple is bleached and woven intc yarn, an expert cannot tell the differ ence between the grades. Loud applause greeted Govcrno Blease when he took the stand. lb read several letters to the audience One letter was read by him whicl said that Manning is the stronges anti-administration man in the race that Manning jg 'heilig strongly at tackc^, that "you never heard of i N^ weak man being attacked." The governor said that possibly "that's the reason why they hired tw< men to help Smith." Jennings Called Blease "Liar." Mr. Jennings then advanced to tin front of the stand, shook his linger a the governor and exclaimed: "The man who says that I am hire< to help Smith tells a damn lie." Pandemonium broke loose with tin words of Mr.-Jennings and it looket squally for awhile. However, the governor only smile* and said: "Ain't it funny how a cock wil crow on his own dunghill ?" "I was told by a Sumter man," sait Governor Blease, "that 1 mnv lw? ;? . tacked, but, thank God, I have enougl men here to protect me." Doing the Baby Act. The governor said it is no use start ing a fuss on the stand where sonu innocent man might get hurt; that "il any man doesn't like what 1 say lie can see me when the innocent people are gone." He said that he has not noticet Jennings on or oil' the stand, an< "that's what's hurting him." The governor claimed that Smith mono} is being sent out of a certain ollice ii Columbia which he had detectives watching. He claimed that a mat was going to the office mentioned Saturday to get $1,000, hut that tin money would not be delivered, for lu had the office under surveillance. He said if he can catch the man In will prosecute him. Smith Calls Governor Down. Senator Smith faced the governoi and announced that not one cent ha< been or would be illegally spent 01 his campaign, that if Blease woul< furnish the name of the man h< (Smith) would have him indicted. The governor replied that, if th? senator kept his word, he would hav< to prosecute one who claims to be th< senator's best friend. Governor Blease took up the bal ance of his time in excoriating th< record of Senator Smith in extremely * hi 111 III i n i - ? I bitter language and with paying his respects to hecklers- who he called "dogs," "cowards," etc. ' POPE PIUS X IS DEAD. I Pope Pius X died at 1:20 o'clock last Thursday morning.

BIG BRITISH CRUISER FIRST BRITISH CRUISER OFFICi I ALLY REPORTED TO BE LOST IN THE WAR Last week the first British cruiser to be lost by reason of the European war. in which England is engaged, reached this country, or at least this 1 was-1: he lirst to be reported ollicially. The name of the crusier was the Aniphhin and she was sunk by striking I a mine nlanted in tho wntaw a./, .. v? v\ I U V 1. t IV. Nor/.h Sou by a German vessel. The report of this incident in the I grant war on tlie high seas reads as ! follows: "A traveler informed us that she had seen a suspicious ship throwing things overboard. Shortly afterwards the German mine layer Koonigin Luise, was sighted steering east. Four destroyers gave chase and in about an hour's time she was rounded up and sunk. "After picking up the sijrvivors of the German ship, the plan of search was carried out without incident until (>:-10 A. M., at which hour the Amphon struck a mine. "A sheet of flame instantly engulfed the bridge. The captain was render cc 1 insensible and he fell to the fore and aft bridge. As soon as the captain recovered consciousness he rang the engne room to stop the engines , which were still going at revolutions for 20 knots. As all the forward part | of the Amphion was on lire it was found impossible to reach the bridge or flood tlie fore magizines. "The ship's back appeared to be broken and she was already settling j down by the bows. "By the time the destroyers had closed in it was time to abandon the j ship. "Three minutes after the captain had left another explosion occurred. This enveloped and blew up the entire fore part of the vessel. The effect of this showed the Amphion must have struck a second mine, which exploded the fore magazines. Debris falling from a great height, struck the rescued boat and the destroyers and one of the Amphion's shells burst on the deck of one of the destroyers, killing two Englishmen and one German prisoner. "The afterpart of the Amphion then began to settle quickly until its foremost section was on the bottom and the whole afterpart was inclined to an angle of 45 degrees. In another quarter of an hour this also had disappeared." FIRST BALE AT MARION. Sold to R. J. Blacewell at 10 Cents a Pound. Marion, S.
