Senator Smith appears to he strong with many voters and Is cordially re? ceived at every campaign meeting. He eeems to be having easy silling, for Jennings and Pollock are keeping HI ease so busy dodging his own rec? ord that he has not dared to attack Smith's personal and official record since the opening meeting. At St. Matthews Hlcase 1iad the first speech and he opened fire on Smith by rehashing some old. threudrare charges that have no relation to the prosent campaign and which, besides, were explained and disproved six years ago. Smith called him down good and hard, on the spot, and since then Hesse has had little to say to or about Smith. At every meeting, from the fir?t. Jennings and Pollock have made trie pace and both Smith and Hlcase have been trailing along, doing their best to keep In the running and share In the Interest created by the other two. As the campaign has progressed It has become more and more evident that Smith bus a solid and substantial following that will stick to him de? spite the grilling criticism that his senatorial record is receiving from fennlngs and Pollock. This criticism, however, is legitimate and is what a candidate seeking re-election should expect and be prepared to meet; and Smith seems to be holding his own f ilrly well. Ills work for farm dum otistratlon, cotton standnrdteat'on and for the suppression of cotton future gambling Is a matter of record and of ?uch widespread notorletv that more than off-hand criticism from the ?tump will be required to eradicate the general Impression that Smith has really accomplished good work for the benefit and betterment of the farming Interests of the South. There ?s, however, another angle from which tho senatorial race must be viewed In ordc? that a correct Idea of the situation may be obtained. Hleaae hi making tho campaign for the senate as tho leader of a faction, the head of a political machine that has dominatod tho Democratic party |r South Carolina for the past four years?and on hi* record as the despotic over-lord of this faction, who has used the prerogatives of a consti? tutional office to reward his followers and punish his opponents, he eeeks /he senatorshlp. counting on the blind and nealoun support of ull of tho? ? who have rocct* ed favors, direct m.c Indirect, from his hands. He tor gels, however, that, an s< nati r, he rinnet distribute favors and SSnoStS ?Uh the mime munlticcnt disregard of law and propriety that has marked his carreer an governor. He will not ?" ul 'c to arqioint dispensary con s >M? *. supervisors of reuistt at ion. rural policemen. State detectives, comrr issloners of election and other ininoi officials to tie paid from the puhlic trrasurv. imr to pardon crimi? nals, of hlah and low degree, who have relatives and friends with votes and iailueixe. The cohesive power that has held the I'.lease machine together will be Kone the moment be vacates the ic'vcrtmr's office, and the rank and tile of the machine mem? bership know this as well as Blease himself. The benetielarlfj of the ma? chine have received already all the h.rgess that Itleaso can bestow. anil the rememfcram ?? of past and gone benefits fades quickly and is never as strong an incentive of prostat and future |o> lit) as is the hope of re? wards to come. Hlcase's strength is not as great now as It was two years ago. and his record of lawless par? tiality to his supporters and unreas? oning animosity toward all other eiti sens of the State whoso chief mauis trate he has been Is tho cause of his diminished Influence. His record an governor 1? the key? note of his SnmpnkjS f?-r the senate, and on this record h?- must stand or fall This being admitte.l by all. his supporters as well as Iiis opponents. It is incumiH nt upon tho men who oppose bun i" anals *e ami *pi end 1 c foro the voters of the Stale th.it rcc ord. Senator Smith, the lesjlcal can? didate for the senate, sinnt he has h* d that nfh? e for >d\ veals and hSS a senatorial record of whl?h he need not bo ashamed, is tho man. of all men, who should take the lead In dissecting and exposing the weak and discreditable parts of that record. It is as much his duty to criticise and expose ? lease's official record as it is to champion and advertise his own creditable achievements. Has ho attempted to do this? Is there any ground for belief that he will carry tho war into Mease's coun? ty? la it not a fact that ho has left lilcaso severely alone? Tho effect of this policy cannot but result to the ( disadvantage of Senator Smith, for! there are a good many thousands of voters in this State who aro neither Rleasc partisans nor thick and thin supporters of Smith, and these voters constitute the balance of power. If present conditions continue these men will vote for Jennings or Pollock, and in the second prim.wry the real tight for the senatorshlp a ill be made. If Smith gets into tho second pri? mary with lilcaso without changing hU Ufo to win, while if ho will but tight now, ho will have an easier1 his life now, he will hav~ an easier , victory. If Smith should bo in the second primary with Jennings or; Pollock, he would have still greater odds to o' ereome, for then there would be a new alignment. With the second race between Jennings or Pol iock and Hlea.-.e, the latter would go down to certain defeat, for the man who can win through to a place in the second primary against the handi? cap that both Jennings and Pollock had in entering the contest at the eleventh hour, would sweep every? thing before him. The people of South Carolina love a good fighter abovo all things, and they will rally to him when the test comes. Smith now has all the advan? tages of position, but if he would I hold what he has he must show him? self an aggressive fighter. Jennings and Pollock can not, and could not if they had the disposition, do the lighting for Smith. As Heard In HIshopvillc. Mr. CUnkscalfs led off and launched Into an attack on the method of oper? ating some of the cotton mills of the State. It was rather a disappoint? ment to his friends here as they wanted to hear him on those broader views he has been discussing. Col. R. I. Manning was cheered as he arose and came forward. He com? plimented the Fair association for their up-to-date grounds and said that from his farm in Lee he would send at least two home raised mule colts to the fair. Col. Manning from the applause received is still a favorite in Lee County.?HIshopvillc Leader & Vindicator.

The Concord Tomato Club is get? ting on very nicely now. Ever since we have bad a nice rain on our plants they have been growing and bloom? ing lino. All of our members have com? menced to prune their plants. I have pruned mine over the third time. And 1 think all of them have com? menced staking them also. 1 have staked over three hundred and fifty of my plants. Somo of the plants have tomatoes on them as large as an egg. Our club has six members, two of them arc new member* joined this year, and two of those that were members last year have dropped out. I went to uee one of our new mem? bers last week and taught her how to prune her plants and they looked line too. We arc looking forward to a visit from Miss Mary I.emmon now soon. Ora HUaday, President. Bethel Club News. The Iiethel Tomato Club girls are getting busy these days for the nice rains which have been helping the to? matoes and making them grow, have also been making the grass grow. They are almost all busy staking and1 the tomatoes which were not staked were somewhat injured by the storm Thursday night. One trouble with a number in this club is the green worms which cut both the vines and the fruit of the to? matoes, for this, some of us, have sprayed with "arsenate of lead" In connection with the "bordeaux" mix? ture which we use for the wilt. We hope it will kill the worms. Several of us have been getting ripe tomatoes and will begin canning' as soon as the price of the fresh fruit decreases. Trinity Club. We arc now gathering nice ripe tomatoes. Our club will begin to can tomatOOf this week. One of the mem? bers canned some last week. Our club is keeping account of the POUndt, I have gathered 16 pounds. I don't know the number of pounds the rest have gathered yet. We will prune our tomatoes again this week and that will make the third time of pruning. My tomatoes looked like they w'cre going to take the wilt last week. But I am going to spray them good with bordeaux mixture to try to prevent! that. My tomatoes were put in some! place they were last year and that may cause them to have the wilt. Mae Delle Dennis.
