Governor Bleaso was the first of
the speakers and he was savage in
his attack on the newspapers, partic
ularly the Columbia Record. Tho
governor said that a banker and a
mill president at Whitmlre told bim to
"go below," and claimed that at An
derson a large stockholder in a cot
ton mill came on the stand with a
pistol in hand and he rehearsed the
Norwood incident at Greenville.
"No Bleaee man," he .stated, "has
attempted to assassinate Senator'
Smith. It wars reported that I would
b? assassinated hfe today," claimed
the chief executive. "If the assassin
is here, there is nothing between me
and the dirty coward. Let him shoot."
Governor Blease vole >d his belief in
fatalism, saying that his death had
been predestined for a certain way,
and that' nothing cot Id change the
manner of his past ing.

to the Senate and mikini-; his usual at

wasi received with cheers, he calmly
discussed the record of tho chief ex
ecutive and he was heard attentively
by the audience. -
After paying his respects to the gov
ernor's pardon record. Mr. Jennings
asked: "Would you get rid of the ne
gro mall clerks by tying them ?t the
end of a hemp rope?"
"Yes, yea," .replied a -number of
voices. "Well,<?I am sorry for you,"
replied Mr. Jennings, "and I am glad
that the balance of South Carolina
does not believe that way." .
W. P. Pollock? the next ' speaker,
.was. merciless In bis arraignment of
the record of Governor Blease. Blease
hecklers howled - at him throughout
his epeech,. but he linlshod .under dif
ficulties. Those howling most were
s?fd to be from Anderson, Sp?rtanburg
and other counties. A tense moment
in his speech was when Mr. Pollock
held up tho'torn red union-republican
ticket' and announced that the name
of J. P. Gibson was on it.
"It is a lie,'/ cried a man in the
audience. Several policemen sur
rounded the m?n and acting chairman
Browning told -'the heckler--he must
be quiet.
*'A man can't cdme to my face and
say that I am a liar, unless he desires
to take the consequences," replied Mr.
Pollock. "It's only a. coward who
stands back and insults a gentleman."
"Mr. Pollock, theft offered1 to with
draw from the race if Mr. Gibson's
name was not on the ticket.
Senator Smith, the last speaker,

investigation being made by a Sedate
sub-committee into alleged di-jcrimi
nations'against Southern port s in the

B. L. Dulaney of Bristol, Va.-Tenn.,
made the charges in connection with
an explanation of why he believed the
Morgan Interests dominated the South
ern Railway and directed the action of
its officials. Me finished his direct
statement to the . commit tee today.
He "will be cross examined tomorrow
by attorneys for the Southern Rail

Mr. Dulaney said that be 'once of
fered to. Bell the control of the Vir
ginia and Southern Railway to the
Southern . for $500,000. A .bond is
sue of $1,000,000 stood' against the
line. HiB offer was refused, he Bald,
but later Henry K. McHarg sold the
line to the Southern for abo?t $6,500,

000. I
The Knozvillc and Bristol Railway
sold to the Southern for $500,000, Mr.
Dulaney said, was offered for. $40,000
and he did not buy because he did not
think the line was worth that much.
Must Have Relief.
Mr. Dulaney: testified at .length in
support of his charge that coal Is be
ing diverted from Southern ports.
"Coal operators are robbed of the
right to do a normal business," he
said. "Unlc?s some relief be granted
It will be necessary for independent
operators to give up thir efforts.
They cannot meet such unfavorable
conditions.
Ho testified .that he sold the Black
Mountain Railway, a short line tap
ping the Black Mountain Field to the
Virginia aid Southwestern Railway,
providing that the Louisville & Nash
ville Railway sbould have the use of
the line. This was done, the witness
said, to preserve two outlets to th?
South for his coal.
Mr. McHarg failed to advise the
Louisville and Nashville of the agree
ment, he added, and was very angry
whan Mr. Dulaney gave the informa

Mr. Dulaney declared, so that the
Louisville and Nashville cannot move
coal from the Black Mountain field,
south or east of Middiosboro, a con
dition barring Black Mountain coal
from the Southern field by way ot the
LoulsVille and Nashville. -

The Incident was preceded by a
statement on. the i witness stand by
M. Prestat to the effect that theFigarp

ever had held a majority of the shares
as had been alleged.
M. Caillaux had drawn closer to the

M. PreBtat. Ma?tre Chonu, comment
ing on the testimony of M. Prestat,
said: "I will add that it does not be
come M. Caillaux to come here and

M. Caillaux, in a state of extreme
agitation, exclaimed: "Since I muBt.
take notice of what this lawyer has
said, I will ask him If he will take per
sonal responclbillty for his words."
When the ensuing excitement had
died down, M. Chenu replied: "I take
the entire responsibility. You cannot
