Florence. ? One thousand voters
heard candidates for state offices in b
Florence last Saturday. Thomas G. ?
McLeod received one of the heartiest e
and most general welcomes given on e
the campaign, and a noisy demonstra- t
tion was made for Cole L. Blease. C
About two hundred voters walked out c

T. Duncan was introduced.
The former governor said there f
were some things so low and so filthy >
that he would not stoop to take notice i
of it. He would not answer filth t
from a sewer pipe paid for by some- <
* one else. {
Duncan predicted that the oeople
of the state are taking notice that cer- \
tain candidates are running with the i
hares and barking with the hounds, 1
and that those who had been most
conspicuous in pinning their chances .
alongside Blease were realizing that
they were pinning their chances to a
putrid, corpse and that each one would
go down to defeat with Blease.
Mr. Laney also trot a warm welcome.*
The Chesterfield senator reviewed
the new tax measures of the,
last legislative session, whereby the
state levy was cut five mills, ar.d reminded
voters that from seven hundred
thousand to eight hundred thousand
dollars would be raised by the
gasoline tax this year and would bo
taken off real .estate and personal
, property. The gasoline tax measuie
would provide an equal amount and
would thus relieve many thousand
farmers who do not own automobiles.
The inheritance tax and the corporation
tax measures of last year would
also take ofT large sums from the
backs of farmers of the st ite .H<

E HORBT HERALD, OOWWA1
SORRY COUNTY.
ON SWEARINGEN
-%
By all means .all people should be
ppreciative and the time has come
or Horry county to show her appreiation.
When T was in the Legislature I.
alked with Mr. Swearingen along
he line of education and especially
he rural schools. He told me he was
loing his best to relieve the situation
>y getting the legislature to make
nnnynnviof mn lavnro onnuorh tn
ll%T- CI[/[/lUpi 1UVIVII IMA - ?
ake care of these schools. He was
iuccessful in getting it done. When
he appropriation bill was brought in
remember there was only one mem>er
that opposed any part of it, and
le claimed that the amount was too
nuch for the rural schools.
Mr. Swearingen spoke to me several
times in regard to Horry county.
He said the time was coming when
Horry county would be one of the
leading, if not the leading county, in
the state and that he expected to do
cil 1 in his power to make it so. He
has kept his word and now he is being
criticized in some places, claiming
that Horry county has been getting
more money than she was entitled to.
Perhaps this will prove the above.
I .asked one of the county superintendents
of education if they were responsible
for Swearingen entering the
race for governor and the answer was
that they did all they could to get
him to enter. The truth is they acted
hypocritically. Some, perhaps, will
h? nwninst him for enterimr the race
for governor, but when we take' into
consideration the attitude of the county
.superintendent it should make us
more determined to stand by him.
Some say Swearingen's greatest fault
is bullheadedness, but i certain
amount of bullheadedness is an a ..'ot.
There has been no charge brought
against Mr. Swe.iringen ^ s is charged
against those having roa I bonds in
hand. They cannot say the money i.i
recklessly spent.
Horry county voters should show
their appreciation of v good servant

BLEASE WAS I
AGAINST WAR
Said so in Speech as Printed
The Charlotte Observer
GOING BACK TO 1919
Things he Said in Speech he
Made Before Laboring
Men That Year
The following report of a speech
delivered at Rock Hill by Mr. Cole L.
Blease was printed in the Charlotte
Observer and so far as is of record
none of the statements contained
therein have ever been denied or contradicted:
Rock Hill, Dec. 27, 1919.?Cote L.
Blease, former Governor of South
Carolina, delivered an address before
the representatives of the textile unions
of the city. %
Mr. Rlease spoke of the rights of
laboring; men to organize, dropping
in some words of advice as to what a
labor organization should and should
not do. A considerable portion of (he
time was taken up in criticising the
Democratic Administration, state and
national, the speaker referring to the
Tact that ho was still as mucn opposed
to our entering' the war as ever
and declared that time had shown
where he was right three years ago.
Speaking of the labor unions, Mr.
Blease said men had the right to organise
.and to bargain collectively.
Organize and tell people about your
union, don't confine the membership
strictly to the. men of the particular
occupation. He said lawyers take in
none but lawyers and doctors, none
but physicians. One reason for the
death of so many organizations is that
they allow anyone to become a member,
said the speaker, referring particularly
to the organizations of farmers.
You have the right to organ;
ize and 1 believe in the right to strike
when you think you are not getting
a sufficient wage. However, he impressed
the fact that this does not give
the right to destroy property, for
while the employe has the right to <|iiit
P if he does not receive the wage he
t thinks he should, the employer has
) the same right to refuse to p,ay it
and tell the employe that he will have
1 to quit. Mr. Blease insisted that the
t members of the local unior
should be mighty careful in the s-elec*
tion of their leaders. He counselec
them to strive to place and keep tneii
organization on a high plane and t(
i strive, by being good citizen.; as indi
b viduals, to make -heir organ iz/itio,

Ionization out of politics, saying" that 1
"they say keep out of politics and J
that is a good thing to remember."
Mr. Blease bitterly arraigned the
Administration forces in Washington
for plunging the country into war and /
declared that his Pomaria and Filbert '
speeches of three years ago had
turned into prophesies. He still contended
that we had no right to enter
the war and thought events had proven
this. The people were fast repudiating
those who made war possible, ;
and when they get another shot they
are going to put in a Republican president
and change the entire regime at
Washington. He declared that the
present Government is not a Democracy,
the past Congress was not Democratic,
that the President was not a
< ?i- e ^. i
Democrat and never was. ne rea-ncu
to the fact that the Government was
rapidly sapping: state's rights, reference
being1 made to the sufTerage and
prohibition amendments to the Federal
Constitution. He gave the appearance
of being pleased with the
thought that the country was going
Republican, but declared that so long
as they put "niggers" on the ticket
in his state he could not stomach the
thought of voting Republican. He
added, however, that he could not vote
the Democratic ticket.
Mr. Blease also referred to 1 )io re-*
cent Congressional election in North
Carolina and declared nis belief that
the Republican candidate would be
seated. He said it* he was in Congress
he would vote to seat Morehead
over Hoey, as he believed the election
was stolen from the Republican candidate.

IS NEW RECORD . '
OF FORD SALES
Company Reports Total Sales
Have Reached 5,709
Machines a Day
Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks
and tractors established a new high
record during June when, according
i* efiifomont lcvDPrl fprttvi t.VlA Ford
factory at Detroit, an average of 5,709
machines were sold daily. . Ford
sales have been showing a
constant increase each month this
year, June being the highest in the
history of the company, with a total
of 148,439 cars, trucks and tractors.
Of this number (>,054 were sold by
the Ford company of Canada and
9,435 by the various European Ford
companies of South American
branches, reaching purchasers in practically
every civilized country in the
world.
With the closing of business for
June, Ford records disclosed the fact
that total sales for the first six
months of 1922 were well over the
half million mark, the exact figures
being 032.2(>1. This is also a new
high record as it is considerably in
advance of any previous half-year period.
July Ford sales are expected to
equal, and probably eclipse June. The
estimated output of cars, trucks and
tractors has been placeM at 151,807,
although dealers have requisitioned
more than 200,000.
Ford officials state that every attempt
lias been made to supply their
dealers with suflicient cars to fill their
orders, but that for the past three
months prompt deliveries have been
impossible with some of the types.
The demand for Ford enclosed cars
has been especially hard to meet, due
to the ever-increasing popularity of
the coupe and sedan for all yeararound
use.
A reflection of general business
conditions is seen in the record of
Ford truck sales, which show an increase
of 84 per cent over last year.
Merchants and farmers alike have
come to recognize the utility of the
motor truck in cutting transportation
costs and speeding up deliveries, and
the fact that they are buying nearly
twice as many now as a year ago
clearly points to better business conditions.
At the present time Ford is employing
75,000 men in Detroit.
