Asl Question, Felt Himseli at Governor, Using 1 Pandemonium Brok< Cheered Pollock'*, ?Norwood Latei (Special to The Intelligencer) Greenville, July 18.?Probably the bitterest display of partisan feeling exhibited in South Carolina since the nineties marked the senatorial cam paign meeting hero today. A small riot which occurred when Gov. Cole L.. Blease was speaking bade fair at one time to get beyond control of tho oflicorp and of cooler heads, and to re sult in the shedding, of much blood. It is considered remarkable that it was checked in its inciplcncy. As it was, several men carry reminders of it In the shape of slight bruises. During the speec'i of Governor Blease, J. W. Norwood, president of the Norwood National Dank of thlB city, asked him to explain "the Dr. Mc Intosh Incident," referring te tho re pudiation by Dr. Jas. H. Mclntosli, of Columbia, of an affidavit which Bleuso read at the Abbeville meeting purport ing to have been made by Dr. Mcln tosh and the late Dr. A. D. Knowlton. The governor replied "When I talk about a man it is in his home town. When I get to Columbia, I expect to) request Dr. Mclntosh to take a seat on, the stand and to answer him like one gentleman answers another; not as a coward to his back like you.." Applied Strong Epithet. To thir Mr. Norwood replied: "You are a dirty lying-" and sprang at the governor. It took the united effort:; of a dozen men to hold the angry man from the chief execu tive. Smalt of stature, but strong, he pushed his way until at one time it looked as if he would elude those who were,holding, him and, would succeed tn .r?schjng the -governor;x' However*," tte^a*itnatty^ah^ tO; the ground where a . free-for-all fight ensued, In which many figured. . Sheriff Ashley, of Anderson county, was among thor.e present ,and a man with a pistol started at him exclaim ing that he was "going to shoot that d-sheriff of Anderson county." He wag grabbed by cooler' heads. Sherlc Rector, of Greenville, received a "sting ing blow on the forehead and in re turn administered a stinging blow to some one, badly bruising his hand in so doing. There was considerable indigna tion felt towards Sheriff Rector but he issued a statement this afternoon de claring that he went to the. assistance r.f Mr. Norwood, aa he thought the lat ter was going to be killed. It has been impossible to ascertain the names of the participants in the fighting which took place off the stand. Bleafieiies Were Hooted. Following Governor Bleaso's speech, some 400 or 500 of his followers left amid the hoots of those who remained ?some 3,000 in all. Messrs. Jennings and Pollock followed with the bitter est speeches they . have made during the campaign and were wildly cheered by the crowd, which had by this time become wrought . up to the highest pitch. Jennings made whit was said to have been his greatest speech of the campaign. He la r. friend of Mr. Norwood and showed plainly that fie was angry as he spoke; He made an eloquent appeal to the crowd to wipe Bloaseism and lawlessness, one. and the same, forever from South Caro lina. He said that no one man could deter him from exposing the damnable record of Governor Blease on every oiamp in South Carolina, nor. could, any dozens privent him from so do ing. W. P.
