The governor made a prediction thai
was new and .unique. He stated that
he hud positive information Hint one
of the candidates would withdraw
from this race, and that.;this would he
a ffeh'eroe. to .steal tho ^actlon, as the
withdrawal offline- oatidldato would
necessitate the "postponing of the

Two yearB ago, Govornor Blosse
said, th^lre were .tets of preachers
praying for the best man to win, and
that their prayers were answered, as
tho best man had won, und he felt
confident that the Lord was on his
side. Referring to his opponent. E. I).
Smith. Blcuso stated that In 1890 B.
R. Tlllmun was ejected governor. And
a convention in Cnl?mbln put out A.
fj. liapkell on an Independent ticket,
that Haskel) appealed to tho negroes
of South Carolina to help defeat Tin
man in tho reform movement and that
from rellabl > information. E." D. Smith
sat in the Haskell convention.
Referring to Smith's bills and "at
tempted bills," as the governor called
t*\em, ho cited the recent lynching of
a negro woman in Orangeburg county,
and stated that according to law, sup
ported by Smith,the county of Orange
burg could be sued for a sura not less
than $2,000. That the county of Or
angoburg owed to the relatives of the
lynched negress the amount stated.
Furthor stated that Anderson county
owed tho relatives of the negro lynch
ed at Honca Path the sum of $2,???,
but that Anderson would not pay for
the lynching of any negro, and that
another lynching would take, place
if necessary.
The governor said that as long ob
he wns in office he would not prevent
a lynching, and that when a crime
that .called for one presented Itsblf.
were'he not governor, he would take
a hand. Said ho hoped ho was rank
ing it plain for all. That his friends
would apr'povc of his actions, and
those that did not like - it, could not
help themselves.
The governor celled upon all
Blensoltes to ask for anything they
wanted, and promised they would got
it, but stated If an antl-Bloaso called
for anything, if he knew it. he woulc
be refused. Toward the close of his
speech. Blease continually referred to
the Smith bills, and accused the sen
: ator of boing a Haskclllto, further
'stating that every man endorsed by
Smith was a HaskelIIto. Referring
to pardons grantod by him, the gov
ernor stated that ho was not
through. The governor - said that'
was amusing at Newborry the '
'day to sco Smith the lfic cotton ?enn
Ito'r riding upon r. bale of Unters se
cured from tho oil mill that had been
stolen from the farmers, as tho cotton
buyers thore rofuecd to let them hnvo
a bale, of cotton, and that the senator
rode in the parade here on a bale of,
''dog tail." At the conclusion of his
speech, Bicaso was presented with a
beautiful basket of flowers by the,
court ho uro officiate.
I Ho claimed that Senator-Smith did
not vote for tho repeal of the 14th and
ir?tb amendments. Ho said if bo went
to tho senate his labors would " '}

Smith raised/ the pri?e of - cotton, llu
asked who raised tho 'pri?e of cow.
peas to $3 a bushol. He wanted to;

Mayor Jennings arkoil tho crowd
what ;i though; of white men who
would cheer when the governor stood
up ami boosted that he had pardon
ed uine hundred big Inick negroes. He
asked what the crowd thought or the
parole of a while man who went into a
home and slew the father. The fa
thcr war slain In bis own home and
yet bis rlayer was paroletl on condi
tion that he leave tho state He
sohl that all who believed Senator
Smith raised tho price of cotton to
15;i cents ought to vote for Smith, "if
those wim do not think he raised th
price vote for mo. I will be satis
fied," be said.
He said he did not think Senator
Smith's record entitled him to re
election. Oov. UloaHo'a record, he,,
said, is so damaging that it disquali
fies Ii im Irom even holding tho office
of coroner."
Mayor Jennings made the predic
tion that Governor Ukase would not
even be In the necond race. This was
in reply to a statement from a man
in the crowd that ho would vote for
him ,In-tho second race If Hleaso was
npt.ln \U .. , ?..,.,M'
Referring to Gov. Blens o n state
ments 'tnat'ho would oust negroes
holding positions ?ndor civil ser
vie r ties. o asked If his record In
turning 000 ncgrocB out of the pen
itentiary would lead thom to be
lieve that ho was a negro hater.
In conclusion Mayor Jennings said
that there?r.eonied to bo an- impres
s-ion that the race was between Blcnso
and Smith. He explained that no
man can he elcctod In the first
primary unless he receives a majori
ty of ail votes cast. He urgod tne
votor8 to cast their ballots in the
first primary for the man of their
choice. He pleaded for a return of
sanity in South Carolina and for the
death of factionalism. He hopes to
see the day when, men Becking of
flcb -will go around advocating prin
ciple and not pie.
"On one hand today we have- a ,
man who claims you should send him
hack, not because he is a leader of
the people but because he talks cot
ton In season and out of season. On
the other hand we. have a man who
claims he should be sent because he
has pardoned peoplo qnd you can't
help yourselves. Mayor Jennings de
claired i neither should be sent to the
aouato but that a man who repre
sents all the people should be chos
en. ...
Mayor Jennings made a marked Im
pression upon his audience and was
given splendid attention towards tho
close. At first ho was heckled'
slightly but ho won his way and was
given loud applause when he closed.

Smith the* La"! Speaker.
Senator K. D. Smith waB the last
speaker. Ho began by saying that
It was unworthy of any m un to crltl
clzo tho splendid reception given him
today. He said the greatest bouquc
one could Tc?nlv?- was. the white
cotton bloom,^(.??no which lie re
ceived thlB morning. Referring to
the charge that he had voted for a
law to pay the family of a lynched
negro $2,000, he said the law waa
written into the constitution and hi
had sworn to uphold the constitutor
and he docs not intend to perjure his
soul.
Touching upon tho charge that ho
had voted ?gains! the Jim Crow car

amendment to the original bill offer
er by W. P. pollock, and said if the

withdraw from'thc ruce. , ;
Senator Smith, reviewed the fight
ho had made for the farmers.' He
said he had hp apologies to make
for his record? But, he Bald, he ha
no Buch record? as the governor. He
told of his light on the Wall Street
gamblers. He said if he did not raise,
the price or cotton, he was there
when the raising"-was-done'.
Tho Bpeakcr declared that tho chle'
trouble with -tub fdrmers is " that
they haven't got> confidence; In them'
selves. Theyi'liavo been letting kittle
two-by-four lawyers out talk them.
The farmers'haven't asserted them-,
selves. We wanted things but didn* ,
have nerve enough to go after lt. Wo
allowed ourselves and our families to
be placed In the dice boxes to be
gambled. Ho Bald his hill,'however

' Seventeen months liavu passed and

the immense difiicutics with which
my government has encountered ow

to the manifest und decided protce

co much so that when the revolution

this was the outrage committed at
