&natona1 Candid
To Big (
A gathering of twelve or fif
teen hwndred people heard the
candidates for United States
senate speak here last Friday.
Though tbe weather was threat
ening the majority of the crowd
listened to all the 'candidates.
There was no d'sorder. Blease
red badges were much in evi
dence.
The large crowd was very
orderly and it is to the credit of
the people of Pickens county
that considering its size this was
t h e be s t behaved audience
which has assembled to hear
the candidates since the cam
pain opened. The Sentinel is
-proud of the general conduct of
the people of our county at this
meeting, and we know better
than ever that Pickens county
is the best county in'this great
state. The only regret we have
Is that every one of the audience
did not remain to hear the
speech of Mr. Jennings, who,
undoubtedly made the best
speech of the day. While we
are not supporting this candi
date for office, fairness forces us
to "hand it to him."
The candidates did not arrive
here at the time expected and. it
was 11 o'clock before fhe speak
ing commenced. In the mean
time the county treasurer's of
fice was appropriated as tempor
ary headquarters of the support
ers of the governor.
The meeting was called to
order by County Chairman G.
F. Norris and Rev. D. W. Hiott
offered a prayer. W. P. Pollock
was the first speaker.
He opened by saving that
he had never visited Pickens
before, he had served in the
legistature with some of the
best citizens of Pickens county.
He declared that in presenting
the records of his opponents
he would not make personal
references-, that he would not
insult'ianyone or stand for an
insult. He paid his respects to
Senator Smith's record, declar
ing. however, that the Senator
had not enough record to talk
long about, Mr. Pollock reviewed
Gov. Blease's record, saying it
contained so many things the
Governor could not explain that
he (Blease) would not attempt
to do so. In connection with
the Governor's pardon record the
speaker referred to the pardon
of "Portland Ned" and read a
parody on "Old King Cole,"
which amused the crowd. He
referred to the appointment on
the Governor's staff of J. Preston
Gibson. James Sottile and Ed
win Hirsch. calling them "a
sweet bunch" to be saluted by
militia of the state. He told the
people that they were being lined
up with "dagoes" when they
went f >r Blease.
Senator Smith, in replying tc
the attack of Mr. Pollock, waxed
somewhat humorous and
brought several hearty laughs
from the crowd. He said Mr.
Pollock paid him the compli
ment of saying he had talked
cotton in the senate. The sena
tor caused some merriment at
the expense of his other "pieces
of lawyers" opponents, declar
ing he was going back to the
Senate despite "the world, the
flesh, the devil and these law
yers." He then launched into
his cotton speech, reviewing his
work in and out of the senate
for the farmers- He told of the
fight he had made against the
wall street "gang" and the bill
regulating the cotton exchange
which he wrote and - which
passed,
Before the conclusion of Sen
ator Smith's speech it started to
rain and Charles Lyon, sheriff
of Abbeville county, held an
umbrella over him. Senator
Smith was interrupted by a
giav haired farmer who pre
sented him with a'; mi ature
hal'e of cotton on behalf of the
"farmers of Pickens county."
The Senator gracefully and sen
timentaly acknowledged t h e
gift, then resumed his speech.
at the conclusion of w hich he
was presented a wreath of beau
tiful flowers.*
C. L. Blease was the third
speaker and was given hearty
applause by his followers.
Governor Blease declared false
a report he said had been circu
lated that he charged a man five
dollars for the prv lege of see
ing his wife who was in the In
sane Asylum, and called upon
t he man w~ho circulated the re
port to say that he had done the
Governor an injustice. The
party doing so. The Governor
also denied anot her report which
he said had been circulated that
he had pardoned a negi-o who
was serving thirty years for at
tempted criminal assault. He
saidl another negro of same
name, convicted of assault and
battery, had been pardloned, and
read the names of several prom
inent Pickens citizens who asked
for the pardon. "As long as
that class of men asks me to do
anything I'm going to do it,"
declared t h e Governor. The
Governor predicted that if an

but he did not think it possibli
for any one but a Bleasite to be

Another angle of attack wa
taken on the primary rule
again today. The governor sai
that in the general election th,
governor appoints the commis
sioners and these in turn ap
point the managers, According
to the new primary rules thi
executive committee appoint
the managers of the primar,
and the governor said that i

be seen to that all these wer
anti-Blease men.
Blease was given a grea
broad-brimmed Panama hat
and a wreath of beautiful flow
ers at the conclusion of hi:
speech.
L. D. Jennings was the las
speaker and devoted the majo:
portion of his time to a discus
sion of the governor's record.
This speaker got one of thi
most attentive hearing give
during the campaign, becausi
of the tactful, broad minde<
and reasonable manner in whici
he appealed to his audience.
He told the Pickens voter
that he admired the goyerno
for his frankness.
"You can always tell wher
t h e governor stands," t h 1
speaker added, "but I don'
agree with him as to his idea
of government." In discussinj
the governor's pardon record
Mr. Jennings said that he be
lieved that the judge who hear'
all the testimony knew mor
about the justice of the sentenc
imposed than the governor. cer
tainly more than those wh
sign petitions promiscuously
wit hout any knowledge as to th
merits of the particular case.
"If you believe that the tim
has come when our jury systen
has become antiquated, then i
is your duty to vote for the gov
ernor," the speaker added:
"What will be the result o
this method, if continued fou
more years?" the speaker asked
"Is a man's life safe now
Is your property safe? Is a wo
man's virtue protected unde
t h e present system?" Thes,
were some of the question
-which- the speaker put to hi
hearers.
-In defending the new prim ar:
rules. Mr. Jennings asked hov
the governor's friends were ti
be disfranchised, as the chie
executive had charged, if all hi
friends had enrolled, as the gov
ernor claimed.
Mr. Jennings urged all th
citizens to get together for th
good of South Carolina, say in
he wanted it understood that h
was on the side of law. orde
and decency.

T'he tension which has hel<
the senatorial party all the wa:
in the tour through the Pied
mont broke at Greenville Satur
day, and for a few moments a
least converted the politica
camp into a surging, struggling
howling mob. One innocen
enough looking question wa
the cause of the explosion
which has been threatenini
several days.
When the governor was speak
ing, J. W. Norwood, presiden
of the Norwood National bank
said to be the sec'ond wealthies
bank in the State, asked th<
Ichief * xecutive:
"How about Dr. McIntosh?'
The governor's answer was
When I get to Columbia I ex
pect to request Dr. Melntosh t<
take a seat on the stand. I'I
answer that question then an<
not behind his hack as a cowart
like you."
Calling the c'hwif executive:
"damned liar." Mr. Norwoo<
swept aside the policemen stand
ing beside the little swingins~
gates to the inclosed stand an<
rushed toward 1 he governor

and getting to the governor.
From all sides the audienc

: MARGESON'S MANNERS ,
0 S
: e
By M. M'MASTER.
As many times as Margeson had
called on Kitty Elsler he had never
ventured to ques
tion her regard
ing the sister who
sat sewing so qui
etly in the next
room.
Often he had
wondered at the
.0' constant plying of
the needle, yet
reserve prevented
him asking if It
was the usual
trousseau B h e
was working on.
While talking with
the vivacious Kitty, Margeson's eyes
wandered to the gold-crowned head of
the girl in the other room. The light
under which she embroidered cast her
head into brilliant relief against the
shadowed tapestry of her high-backed
chair.
"One would think my little sister
was going- t% be a German housewife
from the amount of embroidery she
does," Kitty had once said with a
little laugh. "It almost flingsmeinto
nervous prostration to see her'-Q
industrious."
"Your sister doesn't seem to care
much for us," Margeson had comment
ed on one occasion.
"Evidently she prefers weaving
dreams into her dower chest," laughed
Kitty.
Again Margeson longed to ask who
the lucky man might be, yet he real
ized that if confidence was not offered
him he had no right to seek it.
So through the evenings of a long
supposed courtship of her sister Kitty,
Molly watched Margeson, all unknown
to the young man himself.
It was not until Kitty announced her
engagement to Dick Halsey that Mar
geson really became acquainted with
Molly.
The rejected suitor found himself
escorting'Molly to all the theaters par
ties, dances and picnics given in hon
or of the engaged pair.
When the great wedding took place
I It was he who acted as best man,
while Molly was the maid of honor.
"We want good-looking attendants!"
Kitty had laughingly said. "You and
Molly are an ideal pair."
"I wish we were a pair," sighed
Margeson, when, after the ceremony,
he and Molly stepped into the tiny
brougham to drive back for the wed
ding breakfast.
"I don't believe you feel so dread
fully broken up over Kitty's mar
riage," ventured Molly.
"I am not," ventured Margeson. "But
there is another wedding coming off
one of the days that will mean the
end of the world to me."
Molly glanced swiftly at him, and a
delicate color suffused her cheeks.
"You seem to be more or less unfor
tunate In your selections," she said,
because she was scarcely aware of
what was behind his serious eyes.
The remainder of the drive was
vaguely troubled both for Molly and
Margeson. He, believing her to be en
gaged, refrained from adding to his
already puzzling statement. As for
Molly, she was dimly conscious of an
noyance.
It was not until two hours later dur
ing his drive home with his sister
that Margeson- was really enlightened
to the state of affairs.
"Jimmy-I never could see how you
took a fancy to Kitty when that ador
able sister of her's was anywhere in
the horizon!" Margeson's sister said
frankly. She was more or less star
ted at the dull color that swept Into
her brother's face.
"Molly would make ten of Kitty, in
my estimation," she added.
"Evidently that Is what some lucky
fellow thought," muttered Margeson.
"What do you mean?" his sister
turned questioning eyes on him.
"Molly has been engaged ever since
I met her."
'-Molly engaged! To whom?"
"I don't know to whom," explained
Margeson&.
"Then how do you know she is en
gaged?" queried EtheL.
"'Well-she sits sewing all the time
and Kitty hinted that it was a doWer
chest she was making," Margeson said
a trifle unsteadily.
Ethel cast a swift glance at her
brother.
"Goose!" she said affectionately.
"That was just Kitty's way of keep
ing you boys to herself-by giving the
impression that Molly was already
taken."
Margeson was a man of rather quicki
action when once his mind was made
up. He drove home, however, with his
sister before returning to the Elsler
home.
He found Molly still in the soft
pink maid-of-honor frock. She glanced
up in surprise when Margeson was
shown into the drawing room.
"-Molly,"~ said Margeson, "I have
been under the impression that you
were engaged all this time. Are you?'
'Not that I am aware of," laughed
Molly with a swift blush.
Margeson drew nearer and put his
arms closely about her.
"I love you, girl," he told her, "and
I could not possibly wait while you
make another trousseau. You can
Imake it afterward-I will have a big
amber light put in-just for you to
sew under."
When Molly was permitted the use
of her lips for vocal expression, all
she said was, "I am glad I was not
engaged, for I would have loved you
anyway."

WANT CARABAJAL TO RESIGN
And New President is Willing to Give
Government into Hands of Gen
eral Carranza Conditionally.
Washington.-Every influence and
diplomatic agency at the disposal of
the government Is working for Imme
diate peace in Mexico.
I The administration is convinced
that, with the elimination of Huerta,
the factions in Mexico wil be drawn
together quickly. To assure restora
tion of normal conditons without fur
ther bloodshed, officials here are
exerting themselves to smooth the
way for a new and stable administra
tion which shall be recognized by the
powers.
Not only is the American govern
Luent at this moment counseling Gen
e'it-& .rranza to arrange with Fran
Cisco C.. Huerta's successor, for
the peacefu t sfer of the govern
ment at Mexico-- to the Constitu
tionalists, but it I -t known the
administration is indit-a in com
munication with Zapata, 1er of
the revolution in Southern Me -
Zapata has 24,000 men, and to
most of them are poorly equipped
I they would constitute a serious men
ace, to a new government if they re
mained in revolution. Zapata who
demands agrarian reforms, made com
mon cause with the Constitutional
ists and obtained supplies from them
with which to fight the Huerta gov
ernment. It is not known yet, how
ever, whether he will lay down his
arms in favor of Carranza.
The United States Is using its in
fluence through friends of Zapata to
bring him into harmony with the
peace program and an emissary from
General Carranza is now on his way
to confer with him.
These activittes on the part of the
American government result from a
desire that when the Constitutional
ists are installed in Mexico City and
comply with the conditions prerequi
site to formal recognition, 'there shall
be an end to revolution in Mexico
with Its ever-threatening internation
al aspects.
Carranza has been informed that
1- e must conduct his triumph tem
perately; that an amnesty for politi
cal offenders be declared and the
rights of the clergy and other foreign
ers who have suffered, especially
Spaniards, be given due respect.
STRIKERS bEFEAT GUARDS.
Pitched Battle Near Fort Smith, Ark.,
Between Hundreds of Men.
Fort Smith, Ark.--After a pitched
battle between several hundred strik
ing coal miners and their sympathiz
ers and 100 guards stationed at the
Prairie Creek mines of the Mammoth
Vein Coal Company near Fort Smith
which ended in the rout of the
guards, tipples of three mines were
destroyed by fire and .dynamite. The
pi-operty damage Is estimated at $200,
000. So far as can be ascertained no
one was kiled or seriously wounded
in the fighting, which began shortly
after day break and continued until
late In the day, when the mine guards
retreated after their ammunition was
exhausted.
Rioters held possession of the mines
for several hours, wrecking the plants
with torch and explosives.
County officials went to the scene
late in the day, but before they ar
rived the attacking party had dis
persed.
The rioting was a culmination ol
a series of disturbances which have
occurred at Intervals since the con
tract with the United Mine Workers
was abrogated last March and an
nouncement made that the properties
owned by the Bache-Denman Coal
Company, but leased by the Mammoth
Vein Company would be operated oni
an "open shop" basis.
Constitutionalists Will Not Last.
Havana.-The former Mexican min
ister of commerce. Querido Moheno,
prior to his departure here for New
York, via Key West, said Huerta's
resignation was no surprise to him
and expressed the belief that a con
stitutional government would be
short lived. "Within ninety days,"
he added, '-the people who are now
shouting aproval will cry leath to the
revolution. In six months Huerta will
be the most popular man in Mexico,
because the Latin race always pities
the fallen and opposes the powerful.
Evacuation Is Complete.
On Board U. S. S. California, ias
San Diego, Cal.-The federal evacua
tion of Guaymas Is complete. The
last of the garrison, long hemmed ii
by the constitutionlalist forces of Gen
eral Obregon, embarked southward

In six steamers and towing schooners.
A provisional government has beez

with the armistice arranged severa

WANTS NEW HAVEN TO OBEY.
Washington Hopes New England
Road Will Avoid Prosecution.
Washington. - Attorney General
McReynolds is waiting only for the
outcome of a meeting of New Haven
Railroad directors in New York be
fore determining the course the Gov
ernment will pursue In untangling the
New Haven system.
This meeting Is expected to con
ider legislainX :recenly enacted by
Massachusetts effecting the sale of
Boston and Maine Riliroad stock now
held indirectly by the New Haven.
The road's executive committee has
expressed unwllImngnzens to attempt to
dispose of the Boston and Maine in
view of this legislation, which gives
Massachusetts an option to purcfiase
the stock. If the directors also de
cline there is little doubt that a suit -
will be filed late this week in New
York to have the New Haven dis
solved- under the Sherman antitrust
act. If they accept the Massachustts
legislation, a suit will be averted.
Administration officials do not deny
they would like to see the New
Haven directors accept the nMs
chusetts legislatIon and prevent an
anttrust suit. One, argument ad
vanced in negotiations with the New
Haven has been that business all -
through New England will be ser
lously affected by an anti-trust suit.
