WESTERN COUNTIES HAVE BEEN VISITED SENATORIAL CANDIDATES MEET AT AIKEN AND EDGEFIELD. TO TOUR PEE DEE TECTION Fourteen More Counties to Heai Aspirants For Seat in the Senate. There were only two meetings of the senatorial candidates the past week, one being held at Edgefield Wednesday and the other taking place at Aiken Thursday. Both meetings were without any particular features, with the exception of the reception of W. P. Pollock at Edgefield and the hearing he received at the Aiken meeting, together with the enthusiasm displayed by the adherents of Got. Blease at Aiken. He was carried in a banner bedecked vehicle at the head at a procession to the speaker's stand *nd rereiTed much anotause. Senator Smith met with a hearty welcome at Edgefield and L. D. Jennings was (fr> en closest attention at both places, although he was heckled considerably at the Aiken meetiag. There was practically nothing new to the speeches of any of the candidates, with the exception of the statement by Oormor Blease that "the newspaper reporters had to lie to hold their Jobs, and If they did send in the truth the editors would change it so that It would read against him and his oaedfdaey," or words to that effect. Pollocks Scores Bleaee. This meeting was marked by strong speeches of W. P. PoBeok la scoring the governor's record. Mr. Pollock said that there were three candidates hi the race for the senatorship who Ire kaew would keep their campaign pledges, but that he could not vouch for he governor's keeping hie pledge, he said that he hri violated his pledge bo support the nominees of the primary when he refvee<i to appoint J. E. Murrey as master hut appointed L. M. C. Olive roe, who irae spoken of as the pardon broker Aiken county. Me cited the fal&re of the governor to abide 1' > results of the primary by hie not aiy^i- ;ag as auditor of Bamberg |. r. Folk, i who had been nomine by the people. He gave the goyp^or'^record as regards appointment- his staff and replying to the chH* Motive's statement from day t\ ^ In regard to "HaskelKes" he et' the naming by the governor of e sor of a Republican upon his ?f jf: of the appointment of the governor to his staff of J. P. Gibson, who ran on the red Republican ticket in 1880 along with negroes, and his appointment of James Sot tile as a member of his staff. He said that whke boys of South Carolina hcd to march in review before thie "sawed off Dago." and before these men who had before been affiliated with Republicans. He said that the father of one of the governor's colonel* had as a law partner a negro. He said that it was a ptty that the atabe troops did not have to go to Mexico, as the sight of the governor with his "little dago colonel" being taken care of by the Mexicans would have been a glorious one to many peopie, but that this treatment would be nothing to what the people of thia state would do for Blea^e and for Bleastsm the twenty-fifth of August He received much applause and calls for a continuance when he had concluded. Jennings Makes Good Speech. L. D. Jennings made perhaps one of the beet speeches he has made during the campaign. He took the reoord of the governor to task and said that his efforts were being made to open the eyes of a good many misguided people who found themselves In a class heeded by the governor and in which class there were the blind tigers and gamblers. He said he didn't hope to change these people. but only wanted to tell the misguided people of the company they were in. He said that the governor had stated at the Edgefleld meeting that he had saved the state $92,000 by vetoes, and stated that in thte number were the payments which ovinia Koto hoan madp for the stenog raphers in the recent asylum investigation. and the "governor wanted to cloee up the entire investigation" because it reflected upon him, that he had in that investigation cast aspersions upon the good name of a pure woman. He cited the Emerson case at Anderson where the father was slain in defense of his daughter's honor and the slayer was pardoned by the governor after a petition had been sent h1m signed by four thouhand people not to grant the pardon. His rhetorical questions elicited much applause and when he concluded he was cheered to the echo. Senator Smith Has No Apology. Senator Smith made a tell tale speech in favor of his record. He said that he had been accused of being a man of but one idea, and that he had been abused for giving all his time to t3le farmers. He eaid he had no apology to make to anyone for giving all ef Ma time towarda remedying eondons tn the agricultural districts of the South. In speaking of factionalism. he said that he was not trying1 to array class against class, but that Ui object vm to work for that ohum which Is the foundation to all proe ferity, referring to the farmers. Me spoke of hie activity in aiding the admin istratien at Washington, and his efforts in behalf of the farmers. He told of his work In getting an amendment to the currency bill recently passed by Congress which would aid the fanner materially. When the Senator took his seat he was given deafening applause and his friends crowded around him to shake his hand. Bleaseites Work, Other* Sleep. The next speaker was the governor who arrived at the stand at the head of a procession of his follower*. Aiken county is a Blease county, and the it- i-^1- . -V-4 .4 Kovwmur mere iwr a. biiui viatvically everything and everybody. He criticised the recent Democratic state convention for passing a set of rulee whiah would disfranchise the poor man, he said. He said his side, however had enrolled while the other side were asleep, and that he would win out in August by 8.000 to 13,000 majority. He paid his respects to a caucus which had been called by the members of the Aiken county delegation to the recent convention, this caucus to meet in the capital city soon. He said It would be a "rump" convention and asked the question. "Why do they want to eliminate any-1 body from the governor's race, If they are not whipped?" This was in reference to the call which was to ?thninate some of the anti-administration candidates so as to centre upon one man and elect an antl-Bleese candidate to the governorship. The governor took his usual rap at the newspaper men and said that they had to tell a lie in their reports in order to hoM their jobs, and that if they sent in an honest report of the meetings it was changed in the office by the editors so as to make it appear that the crowd in the various parts of the state where meetings had been held w?n in faror of his opponents. He said that everybody oould see for themselves that the Aiken crowd was a Bleaee crowd. He was presented with a gold-headed can given by the street car men who he said appreciated the fact that he did no<t send a military company against them when they had labor troubles. He was applauded to the echo when he com pleted his speech. Meet at Edgefield. The meeting at Edgefield Wednesday was distinctly an anti-Blease meeting, and few developments out of the ordinary transpired. The governor made what is considered a tame speech for him, and In It he referred to J. Wm. Thurmond, paying him compliments. Mr. Thurmond, it will be remembered, was the campaign manager of Judge Jones, who ran against . the governor the last time and was ' Jefeated. He referred to the appointments made possible, he said, by the t dorsement of Senator Smith. He eaid t ^senator did not go out and get a good farmer for United States marshall, but instead secured a newspaper man. He criticised the appointment of P. H. Weston as dietrict attorney. W. P. Pollock scored the gov??or ?nd rorpiYAd much aDDfeUSe. L. D. Jennings made Ms usual attack upon the record of the governor and Senator Smith epoke of his record In , the senate. The crowd. It is said, was a Smith crowd. Four Times This Week. The candidates win speak next week to four audiences, opening up Tuesday at Camden. They will speak in the Pee Dee section of the state, there being fourteen more counties to ' be risited. The campaign is drawing 1 to a close and each day there is add- | d Interest to the standing of the respective candidates. i Nothing new has developed in the lfelntosh Incident, with the exception t the affidavit of W. R. Richer, < brother of R. A. Aichey, convicted of , statutory rape and pardoned by the governor. W R. RIchey made affidavits that the signature of Dr. Mcintosh to the recommendation for a pardon was genuine so rar as ne new ana that It was handed him by Dr. A. B. Baowlton, who has since died.

I have read- your editorial headed, "Cotton Smith", and, because I am not entirely convinced, I beg to tell you what I think about the matter, with the request that you print my letter. It is my opinion that the price of cotton is primarily controlled by the laws of supply and demand. In reaching this conclusion, I have considered the facts: (1). That the world's consumption of cotton is increasing more rapidly than its production, of cotton. That this is true is seen from the fact that the actual population of the world is increasing, and from the fact that outside of the South agricultural experts are constantly making experiments to find other cotton growing countries, and large portions of Egypt and India have been put under cultivation for the growth of cotton. /n\ I) _ /? L_ J - \zi. neports 01 Daa crops raise the price of cotton for future, as well as immediate, delivery. When it was reported earlier this year that Texas was two million bales short, and other parts of che South were suffering, the price of futures went up. On the other hand, reports of bumper crops lower the price of cotton. It appears to me that the only way a man could raise the price of cotton would be to increase the demand, or withhold or cut down the supply. I have not heard of Mr Smith's claiming to have done either of these. Does it not seem to you that the great crop of 1911, which choked the market for several months, was responsible for the low price which cotton brought that fall? This low price caused a decrease in acreage for the next year, and a smaller crop, which therefore brought more money per poudd. The world consumed more cotton last year than it did in 1912, and, therefore, the demand was greater, so the price did not fall and will not fall until we get a supply too great for the demand. It is plain common sense that if, for some cause, we should produce only half of an average crop of cotton, the price would be much greater per pound, and if we should produce twice an average crop, the price would be much less per pound. In the same way, it would be true if the consumption of cotton was doubled or halved. Cotton is the backbone of our country, and I am glad that Senator Smith realizes it; but it appears to me that it is taxing the credulity of the South Carolina farmer to try to make him think that E D Smith has power to suspend or alter the canons or political economy, or to vary tne law of supply and demand. If you think that the farmer does not know anything of political economy, then you are trying to play on his ignorance. With kindest personal regards, Yours very truly, A S Harby. Sumter, July 21. With pleasure we print the foregoing illuminating disquisition from one who has obviously studied the cause and effect of the cotton problem more thoroughly than we have, or ever hope to do. In the editorial article referred to we distinctly disclaimed the assertion that Senator Smith had raised the price of cotton, or, in fact, that he even had anything to do with it, Pa** urn ^a nnt Irnntr LV1 TV g UV IIW nuv??. Yet the fact remains that Smith promised the farmers if they sent him to the United States Senate the price of cotton would be raised; he was sent to the Senate and the price of cotton has been raised; so, voulez vouk encore? Senator Smith may have had no more to do with it than you or I, Mr Harby; but, if it be a mere coincidence, it is a mighty lucky one for Senator Smith, for facts! are stubborn things.?Editor County Record.
