GOVERNOR CRITICISES
NEW PRIMARY RULES
Governor Made hi. Cuistomary Bitter
Attack upon (he Newspapers. Also
Charged Senator Smith with Voting
with the Republicuns.
Barnwell, June 2.-For the irat
timo sice the United States sena
torial campaign opened, the governor
was placed on the defensive today by
W. P. 1ollock, who has been persist
ently hammering, at the governor's
pardon record. The governor has been
out or the running for three days,
missing the Beaufort, lampton and
Jasper county meetings, and when
lie returned to Barnwell today, he was
loaded with reproaches. Ile had hard
ly begun i his speech before he had
to launch into an explanation of the
pardon of the yeggman sometimes
known an "Portland Ned," who dis
appeared from the governor's o1licc.
This outlaw, the governor said, was
not "Portland Ned" but one James
Johnson instead. who had the allas
of the widely notorious safe blower.
lie also read letters from a United
States marshall and a federal district
attorney, saying tht there were no
outstanding warrants against the
convict at the time clemency was
granted.
The 'governor made his customary
bitter attack on the -newspapers, des
ignating certain reporters as "liars."
Tle characterized the new primary
rules as "a dirty, contemptible piece
of thievery, which 'Portland Ned' and
all his associates would not be guilty
of."- 1,. 'D. Smith, lie said, was a Ile
publican, and no friend of his.
G1o For Ills Record.
'I hough in a distinctly lilease terri
tory, Nlessrs Jennings and Pollock (id
not let up on their denuneiatfisl of the
governor's pardon record. "I expect
to place the governor's record on ex
hilition from every stui pin South
Carolina," Mr. Jennings said, "and
the detectives running around with
the party can't scare me off the
stage."
Mr. Pollock said that lie had heard
"niggar, niggar, niggar" until lie was
thoroughly disgusted. "That's all the
governor's got, and if my memory
serves me correctly. I believe it
was only a few years ago that the gov
ernor was himself a trustee of a ne
gro college in Orangeburg."
Genator Smith, who has been com
pletely ignoring the charges by his
olponents, today answered the state
mont made by the governor that Mr.
Smith, when a member of the legis
-lature, had voted for a bill to indem
nify the family of a negro, who had
been lynched, to the amount of $2,000.
In answerinig thuin accusation, Senator
Smith read af'ficle 6, section 6, of the
constitution of South Carolina, which
xnakes -this provision. The constitution
wan written, the senator exliained, by
Senator Tlillman and his lteformer as
nocintes, back in h895, "the very hey
day of the power of the common
people."
Approximately 1,200 voters attend
ed1 the mueet ig and eachi candlidate
was cordtially receivedl. Th le governor
got a welcome simnilar' to that extend
ed by Blarnwell on for'mer occasions.
Senator Smith, too, was a favorite, and
when the governor asked for a min
uito at the close of Mr. Pollock's
sp~eechi to answer a charge by Mr.
f'ollock, it looked a if the governor
wouldl be howled down by calls for
Sonator Smith, Tlhie governor walted

and attack me for granting it. it
only shows the extremes to which they
will go to defeat me."
The governor held up a catalogue
of Ilenedict- college, a negro school lin
Columbia, which contained a cut of
the faculty, some of the imembelrs of
which were white women. It was ait
this stage that some one in the crowd
called to the governor and said:
"You'll be in tle next group when
Finator Smith takes your picture."
"You're a liar," the governor retorted.
An effort was made by the manl to
come to the stage, aipparently to at
tack the speaker, but policemen Ii
terfered. It was reported that the
man was arrested. The speaker also
made mention of the fact that at
Beauftort a negro orchestra fuinIshed
music for the campaigni exercises.

didate for governor, said lth the gov
ernor of a state could ex.peet the hap
liness and velfare of t ie (Atizesll of
a state by his actiolns!. 'The state of
South Carolina can never' le a greater
state until tile law of the land is a
shield of protection for every citizen
and is enforced to the letter from the
mountains to the sea,' declared Mr.
Cooper in pledging himsel.I te enforce
the statutes.
"Mlr. Cooper advocated the extension
of the benefits of Clemson college to
the farniers who support it by demon
stration farms. He said that the farm
ers bore the heavy costs of fertilizers
and should be taught how to farm to
best advantage.
"South Carolina should come to the
aid of the man who is willing to put
forth the necessary effort to buy his
own home,' declared Mr. Cooper. 'if
all the white children of school age in
the state were to ask admission to the
schools at the beginning of the next
term they could not get in,' said Nir.
Cooper. le urged that the state give
the boys and girls in the rural dis
tricts equal educational advantages
with those in the cities and towns.
'The trouble in South Carolina has not
been too much taxation. but we have
not had value received for tax money
spent,' said Mr. Cooper. In urging the
adoption of business methods in the
conduct of the State's affairs.
'If you make me governor, I shall I
remember my oath of office and know
no enemies and no friends,' concluded
