BLEASE HACKED AT ABBEVILLE. |
Crowd of 1,260 Repudiate Him in
Hand Primary.
Abbeville, July 14:?The first
"hand primary" of the present Senatorial
campaign was taken here today.
but not by Governor Blease.
When Mr W P Pollock asked that
those voters "who believe in Cole
Blease's record hold up your hands."
not a hand went up, although hundreds
responded to the reverse proposition.
It was distinctly an antiBlease
crowd, numbering fully
1.20C, less than 100 of whom followed
the Governor from the meeting
when he concluded his speech.
Governor Blease spoke second. Senator
Smith first. Two years ago, in
the Gubernatorial campaign. Governor
Blease was favorite. He car-'
ried Abbeville county in that contest
by less than fifty votes.
Mr Pollock has found another
member of Governor Blease's staff
who is, perhaps, he says, tainted
with Republicanism.
Governor Blease devoted practically
all of his time today explaining
and reading the record in the R
A Richey case and other so-called
pardon cases.
SAYS YORKV1LLE EDITOR LIED.
Mr L D Jennings denounced the
writer of an editorial in the Yorkville
Enquirer for. according to the
speaker, impugning the motives
that prompted him to enter the race.
The article, as read by Mr Jennings,
contained insinuations that both
Messrs Jennings and Pollock were
in the race merely to beat Blease
and help Smith, that possibly the
selfish interest behind their motive
is "money, expenses paid from some
source, and a good bonus in addition."
Replying, Mr Jennings declared
that if the writer of the editorial
does not either furnish proof
or retract the statement, "he is a
contemptible, cowardly liar;" that if
the editor can prove the truth of
his statement charging a prearrang-1
ed plan to help Smith, he (Jennings)
will donate $5,000 to the Deaf and
Dumb Institute at Cedar Springs
and withdraw from the race.
Mr Jennings called attention to
Governor Blease's often repeated
declaration that he would neither
explain nor apologize for any official
word or act. "but vou heard him;
here today taking up most of his i
time explaining certain acts," - said j
the speaker.
Mr W I' Pollock said Governor!
Blease slandered Abbeville county1
when he said it would require an
extension of his term to give him
time to sign pardons if he had to
pardcr. all the law breakers in Ab- j
beyille county.
He said he would liscuss se\eral
national issues before holding up 1
"Cole L Blease in all of his hideous
nakedness." He said he dared the
Governor to try to explain some '
parts of his record, and declared
Governor Blease wouldn't remain '
on the stand and hear his own rec- '
ord. He said that although Gov- '
ernor Blease denounced United 1
States Marshal James L Sims be- 1
cause the latter, when a boy set 1
type on a Republican newspaper, J
the Governor appointed on his staff Edwin
Hirsch of Kingstree.son of the !
same man who owned part interest 1
inand helped conduct the same paper <
Sims worked on. He again exhib- '
ited the "calico back" Union Re- (
publican ticket of 1380, bearing the 1
name of J P Gibson, also a member *
of the Governor's staff. '
Mr Pollock declared the man hoi- (
lering,! "Hurrah for Blease" the (
loudest today is the brother of a *
man the Governor pardoned. This
was not denied. He said he felt ^
like letting up on Blease's record, as '
he hated to knock a corpse.
Mr Pollock declared he was mak- J
ing the campaign with his own
money to open the eyes of the j
people of South Carolina and better 1
conditions in the State. He was
urged by many to continue speaking,
but stopped when his time was up.
He received a basket of flowers.
The Principle of the Thing.
"One thing I likes 'bout my white
folks," said the Georgia darkey, "is
dat dey runs fer office 'cordin' ter
Natur'. It's in 'em ter run. an' dey
runs. Dey goes fer de office on
principle, f'um gineration ter gineration,
worl' widout end, amen!"
Optimism.
'Twon't be so long 'fore the sun's light
dies,
An* the old world stops a-turnin',
But there's joy today.
An' a 'Hip-hooray!"
As long as the light's a-b:.rnin'!
An' take yer place with the dancin''
crowd
An' do yer best endeavor;
To the riddle's sound
Swing the gals around
Till the music's stilled forever.

TAKING CALOMEL
IS DANGEROUS
Calomel is a powerful chemical
made from mercury ?people should
be careful about its use. The only
sure way to avoid the danger of
calomel is to take no calomel. .
Dodson's Liver Tone, a vegetable
liquid of pleasant taste, more than
takes its place. When calomel
shakes you up and shocks your liver
and often makes you ready sick,
Dodson's Liver Tone, mild but effective,
builds up and strengthens.
It "livcps up the liver." You feel
fine after taking it.
Dodson's may be taken without
onv restriction of diet or habits.
You can give it to your children
with fine results.
Get a large bottle for 50 cents at
Dr W V Brockinton's drug store and
if it doesn't do all that you think
it ought?if it doesn't make bilious
spells mere trifles?if it doesn't
liven up your liver, your muut-.v
will be waiting for you and be returned
with a smile. adv

TOBACCO "BREAK"
Al Johnsonville?LarfleSales.Big
Crowd and Everybody Pleased.
Johnsonville, July 23:?In the'
early morning wagon after wagon j
from every direction began coming'
into town loaded with tobacco, and j
a continuous chain was kept up until
the opening sale at 11 o'clock. I
The streets, yards and warehouses,
were full of wagons, and had it not
been for the'big extension that:
has just been added to the Star and !
King's warehouses they could not'
have handled all the tobacco at one i
sale.
Capt Hutchings, of ihe Star ware-.
house,addressed the mammoth throng
of men, women and children just
prior to the opening sale,which took
place in his warehouse,and impressed
the fact on them that the market
at Johnsonville had a corps of
buyers second to none in this or any
other State, and that these buyers
are the representatives of every1
reputable tobacco manufacturer in
the world. He also impressed the
fact upon them that we have located
in our town a branch of the
Merchants and Farmers Bank with
a capital of $200,000.00, which will
:ake care of this market and if nec
?ssarv can take care of all the markets
in the State. He also mentioned
the fact that the merchants of
:his town would sell the farmers
their goods as cheap as they could
luy them in bulk from wholesale
iealers. This genial speaker is one
)f the proprietors of the Star warehouse
and its auctioneer.
Then began the sale, down one
ine and up the other, followed by
luyers seasoned by experience
lought on some of the largest markets
known to the tobacco world,
rhey wondered and were staggered
it the prices but still it sold; every
nch of space was covered by piles
)f tobacco, but not even the auctioneer
seemed tired when the last
leap was reached. He was literally
Irunk on enthusiasm.
Then this immense crowd gather?d
for the next sale that would take

found the reason for this great sale.
\ competition worthy of any pace,
for in a short time we heard some:hing
like the peal of a clarion voice,
Mr Johnson had called until the sale
lad finished,when sand lugs had sold
for $19 and there was not a single
:icket turned in either warehouse,
ind it was declared by the buyers
;he best sale they had ever seen for
;uch grades on any market. If
such prices as were paid here today
ceep up, there will be numbers of
'armers who will pav their entire I
unning accounts for the year from j
obacco sales alone.
The Runner for Exercise.
"I like to meet a man who takes a j
setback on the road to office like a ,
)hilosopher," said the Old Cam- i
signer, "and keeps on. a-runnin' i
ust as if nothing out of the ordina- j
y had happened. While in the end >
he voters may lose,they still have a '
ligh old time a-bettin' on him."
