WASHINGTON, Manager TUMBU DOES THE VOTING SCHMONSEES CETS THE PROFIT I i The State knows nothing of Mr.' Tumblin from Sullivan's township, Laurens county, who was at the Laurens meeting the spokesman for ?the Blease part of the crowd, but we make bold to guess that be is not a bad not. Me is probably poor, pos sibly he is working another man's land and back of his enthusiasm for Blease Is perhaps a sincere belief that Blease is the "poor man's friend." He knows nothing about the alliance of Blease with the Southern Hallway Company and does not believe a word of It when told of It. It's "Coley" and "Jim" or "Sam" when Tumblin and the governor meet; therefore Tumb lin Is for Blease first, last and all the time, though the heavens fall and that some prosperous farmer who used to be a Tillmanito is for Jones is only another argument for Tumblin, the poor farmer, to vote against Jones. Tumblin expects to net nothing out oi the election of Blease. Here and1 there Is a noisy man like Tumblin who: will be appointed constable or will have a "nigger" pardoned, bul the I great mass of Tumbllns who vote for Blease are as honest and sincere in j their position as Banker This or Preacher That, who think thai the election of Blease would be a public calamity. Tumblin of Sullivan's town ship Is mistaken, but he is honestly mistaken: he thinks that Blease's veto of the medical inspection of schools bill was in the poor man's interest, when, In truth, it was a direct blow at the poor man. and it is a waste of time to argue the question with him. Tumblin is for "Coley", he is having a world of fun out of it, and if "Coley" should be elected Tumblin would plough on until another elec tion. The thousands of Tumbllns in South Carolina really think that Blease Is their champion and they do not ex peel to net offices or other rewards from him. Now the case of Schmonsees of Charleston Is quite different, although Schmonsees and TuHinlin are equally enthusiastic for "Coley". The election I of Blease means something- a great deal to Schmonsees. To him it means What Kunz, the treasurer of the Blease Club of Charleston, calls "a measure of self-government." it means that Schmonsees, on payment of live dollars a week to t'.ie constable appointed by Blease, or to a whole sale blind tiger, who will "fix it" with the Blease constable, may continue to sell whiskey and beer in his corner grocery without having his grocery raided or without being enjoined. It means, in other words, $1,000 a year to Schmonsees. Now Schmonsees is not the only Charleston man who will vote for NOT STAHTKB ON PARDONS. GOV. BICHS? Got Hot Coder the Col. lnr at Gaffnej when a Dapper Drum mer "Called" Him. Gaffney, August 7.?Appearing be fore an enormous crowd, Governor Blease delivered one of hi:; usual speeches at the base ball park in tills city tonight. The address was possi bly a little more highly spiced than some. He began by abusing the news papers, saying that one would judge from the Gaffney newspapers that he was not wanted here, but that the peo ple had shown that they did want him regardless of what Ed DeCamp, Both Butler or .Mm Bell said. Said the speaker: "As for little Jimmie Bell we will let him ring his bell, and go to ?-." He declined to talk about Judge Jones, owing to the fact that the Judge was absent. Speaking further of the newspapers, the Governor said that tomorrow he would have some thing to say about why the newspaper men who are accompanying the cam paign sent out the story that they did as to the Lancaster meeting, lie said that he preferred putting off until the reporters were present, but that he would say that the explanation lay In a quart bottle sent up by "Son Char lie." He said that much had been said about his pardons, but that he had not yet started on the pardons; merely started to running. At the conclusion of his speech the ladies In the audience sent up a bou quet of flowers by a little girl. The governor gathered the child in his arms and said: "A little child shall lend them. I had rather have this lit tle girl's trust and confidence and find her arms around my neck than the vote of the entire world.' A man In the audience spoke up and said: "Be cause she doesn't know any better," at which the governor said: "If you will come up-town, you dirty liar, I will give you the worst beating a coward ever got." The man referred to an swered that n trip to town wasn't ne cessary and invited the governor to come back where he was and try it then. Trouble was avoided by police Blease. Biuderlelch, who Is a rich man, is a wholesale blind tiger, who sells to Schmonsees and 25 other re tailers. A "measure of solf-govern ment." watch Is to sny, a holding off of constables, means $10,000 a year to Bruderleieh. Also, it menus to the owner of the house In whleh Schmon sees sells beer and whiskey a ten ant who pays his rent regularly, so here and there we have even an "aris tocrat" who is in favor of "a measure of self-government" which, in plain English, is assurance that as a land lord lie will not be prevented by In junction from permitting the sale of beer in the house that he owns. Formerly, when Tumblin was a mere Ttllmanlte he was bitterly op posed to Schmonseos, Bruderleieh and the "Aristocrat." Tumblln has no re spect or regard tor them now, and he doesn't know that he is pulling In double harness with them and doing most of the pulling at that. Tumbllll probably would not believe that Char-j lcstOD two years ago gave Hlease 2. 700 majority over Pealherstone. al though the figures speak for them selves, anil that was one-half of Itlease's majority in the whole State. If he does hellove it, he explains it to himself by supposing that the peo ple who vote for Hb'ase in Charleston are just "poor men" like himself. Were Tumblin to go to Charleston tomorrow he would get no beer from Schmonsees that he didn't pay his money for. Were Tu 111 bill) a "blind tiger" or a gambler he would get something out of Blensoism besides the thrill and joy oT yelling for "Coley". Schmonsees is turning his Hleaseisin into cold cash every hour, and so is Bruderleieh, who is worth a quarter of a million dollars. If yon. Mr. College Grad uate, were a law-breaker and whole sale blind tiger, you would vote for Hlease and contribute money to bis campaign, wouldn't you? Tumblin is fairly representative perhaps of 10,000 or 15,000 men who are shouting for Blease. They are honest, they are sincere, they are proud of their state, their fathers were gallant soldiers and they are convinced that "Coley" Is the only friend of the "poor man" that Is left. ' Tumblin is pulling the chestnuts out I of the (ire for Sehnionsees. Bruder leieh and the "aristocratic' landlord, hut Tumblin doesn't know it. and nev er will know It. Why should Tumblin believe what The State says anyway? The only way for Tumblin to lind out is to go to Charleston. and that Tumblin will never do. We are very sorry lor Tumblin, but no one is angry with him. As for Sehnionsees, he is voting money into his pocket.?The State. Officials becoming active and a idea from the presiding officer. The governor took a hand primary at the end of his address, which seemed to indicate that his forces present were largely in the majority, lie was con stantly interrupted during his entire speech by yells of approbation. .lohn T. Duncan spoke after the gov ernor concluded his address. Judge Jones was not present on ac count of a throat trouble. Fifty extra policemen will Peon duty tomorrow to ? preserve order. I).
