' SMITH RECEIVES BIG RECEPTION -JENNINGS AND POLLOCK ATTACK GOVERNOR'S RECORD. The Senatorial campaign meeting j was held here last Saturday and is said to have furnished the biggest : demonstration of the series.for Senator Smith. There were fully two I tWrmonnd npnnlp nrpspnt. and the political sentiment of the crowd is estimated to have been seventy-five per cent in Smith's favor. The meeting was characterized by two conspicuous features. One was the splendid demonstration given by the people of the town and county | to Senator Smith, and the other was . the howling mob of illiterates and [ inebriates that some of the Govern| or's friends are said to be paying transportation for from county to | county to make a demonstration for I him. Some of these had attended as many as five meetings, and the Governor informed them that he would be at Georgetown, Monck's Corner, etc. and not to be deceived by reports that he would not be there, as he claimed had been the case here. This was the fortieth meeting of the "Senators", and the Governor still showed himself to be "gun-shy" and "feather-legged", as Mr Pollock I has repeatedly characterized him for i getting out of range of his opponents ' bo ?nnn no hp (the Governor! had ! finished his speech. None of the j Bleaseites wore the red badge here ' Saturday. Three wagons, eighteen automobiles, seven carriages and buggies, all filled with farmers and other supporters of the Senator and decorated with banners bearing the inscription: "Vote for E D Smith, the Farmer's Friend," composed a parade which was formed at Nelson's warehouse and passed up Hampton avenue to Church street, thence to Academy street and the court house grounds,where the meeting was held. Senator Smith, seated on a bale of cotton, in a wagon drawn by fonr gray mules, led the pageant and bowed in acknowledgment to the cheers that greeted him along the line. Williamsburg county has always v*""" nnti Dlolloc onrl nA OUl'HpnAP nf UCCii aiiiruitaov, uuu uv v ? a change was evident at the meeting Saturday, the sentiment of a majority being distinctly against the Governor. The speeches of the four candidates were along the usual lines. Senator Smith discussed cotton, presented his past record and predicted his re-election August 25. Governor Blease ridiculed the Smith demonstration, made a "special request" of the reporters to print a local endorsement of a member of his staff,Col Edwin L Kirsch, of this town; attacked Senator Smith's record, finished his speech and left the meeting, taking about a fourth of the crowd with him, who later returned and made several at ICA FIR et that they are not "Seeir n Hampton Avenue will cer n Eastern Carolina.

J kof ko nroc m minueu intr auuicuic mat nc <n w >u the home of his father, Rev Wm H Smith, who "buried your dead and put his hands on the heads of your children and blessed them." His mission was not the same, but its purpose and end were the same, he explained. Much time was taken up in discussing the Federal relief plan. There was no time to build warehouses, the Senator urged. What he wanted, and the plan which was being worked out,according to reports from Washington, was that cotton should be stored locally, in yards, if necessary, the banks accepting storage receipts as collateral in making lnona tn farmpro. The nlan would not place the man raising 1,0001 bales at a greater advantage than the man who raised one. Senator Smith said he thought that tobacco planters might be protected in a similar way, if they would only cure and pack their tobacco for storage. GOVERNOR BLEASE. At times during the Governor's speech his "imported" henchmen made so much noise that the audience could not hear what he was saying. There was one auditor who seemed impartially approving all the candidates. He cheered lustily for Senator Smith and then for the Governor. At one time the Governor rej minded the enthusiast of this and said he did not know how to take I him. One minute later the Chief (Executive urged,"My friend, I wish you'd hush. I don't mind your voting for Senator Smith, but for Christ's sake let me speak." When the Governor had finished speaking, the disturber left with tne Governor's following. Governor Blease made much of the charge that corporations and bankers were for Senator Smith. The banks had closed, he said, that the bankers might "come here and holler for Smith." The cotton on which the Senator rode was referred to as "dog-tail," and the mules that drew the Senator in the parade belonged to F Rhem & Sons,a corpora tion, he charged. The Chief Executive then championed the cause of Edwin L Hirsch, Esq, of this place, and read the letter-petition of Kingstree citizens expressing confidence in and approval of Mr Hirsch. In introducing this subject the Governor said: "I always say what I have to say before a man's face, and not behind his back." This reference was taken by Mr Pollock as an insinuation that he (Pollock) would be afraid to make certain references to him here that ( he had made at other meetings. j Speaking of the war situation, the ! Governor again advised the farmers i to hold what they have, that the j (Continued on page 4). ^ I / ST! [ ig America First."
