Laurens. July 22.?The record
breaking crowd of the campaign came
to Laurens today to hear the sena?
torial candidates, there being ap?
proximately 4,500 persons present.
In consequence of the shakeup at
[Greenville last Saturday, many voters
came here today from adjoining coun?
ties expecting another tilt. Long be?
fore the hour for the meeting to be?
gin the natura) amphitheatre out in
the grove where the meeting was held
had been packed. The meeting was
boisterous, but there was no excite?
ment, although the governor sild
that It had been rumored that he was
to be assassinated here today.
Reminding his hearers that there
was nothing between him and lb*
man who would shoot, the governor
urged that "If the assassin is here, let
him do his dirty work."
The nearest approach to disorder
was when w p. Pollock referred to
thf Union Republican ticket of 1890,
which ticket contained the name of J.
P. Gibson of the governor's staff. One
man in the audience branded this ras
a lie.
At this tense moment severer po?
licemen hurried about the man, who
kept repeating: "It's a He and he
knows It."
The Cheraw candidate's reply waa:
"A man can't come to my face and
call me a liar unless he's willing to
take the consequences."
Harking back again to the assassi?
nation Idea, the governor said that
a newspaper yesterday in an editorial
had Invited the assassination of the
chief executive.
"If I should be killed," the govern?
or added, "more hearses would be
called for the next day than for
many years." The cause he represent?
ed, he explained, w>uld still go on.
Reporters and edl' *<rs came in again
for a scathing assault, most of them
being placed in the "Ananias club."
"The reporters and two-thirds of
the editors," he said, "would be In
hell before night," 1f adjudged a*
Ananias and Baphtra were.
Mr. Pollock got the brunt of the
heckling today when he was making
bold assaults on the governor's rec?
ord. The leaders were In small
groups, end kept up "team work" in
raising an uproar When a particular
point wee being emphasised,' or the
"climax of an argument Was ap?
proached
Sheriff John Owens referrea to
these ' as "intruders" from Anderson,
Greenville, Greenwood end Spartan?
ner* counties. * *
Calling directly to one particular
squad, he reminded them that they
did not belong to Laurena county and
beaee were not needed as yell leaders.
The sheriff also said that he did not
believe that there would have been
any disrespect shown to any speakers
had there been no Invasions from
other counties.
George A. Browning, who acted as
chairman in the absence of W. C.
Irby, who Is a candidate for governor,
said that these were also strangers to
him.
Gov. Blease was the first speaker
today and began with the quotation:
"Those whom the gods would de?
stroy they first make mad."
He said the antl-Blease forces were
defeated, and In substantiation cited
three cases where men have recently
become enraged. One, he said, at Whit
mire, when a mill president invited
the governor "to go below;" another
at Anderson, "when another man with
a gun climbed on the stand," and a
third at Oreenvllle last Saturday, when
J. W. Norwood attempted to get to
the governor after having been de?
nounced as a coward by the chief
executive.
No Blease man, the governor con?
tinued, had yet tried to aa.usslnate
Senator Smith. If any one of the
three, he went on, had been a Bleaso
man, the cry of anarchy would have
gone up and the man would have been
put In Jail.
In discussing assassination the gov?
ernor said that he had no fears of
being killed, and added that though a
Methodist he was a fatalist to the ex?
tent of believing that there la a cer?
tain way nnd a definite time for every
man to die, which cun not be evaded
by the machinations of man.
Another report was being circu?
lated In I*uurens county, tho govern >r
added. This was that the negro Fred
Klledge, convicted In I<uurenx county
ln )*0H on the charge of assault with
Intent to ravish and getting a sen?
tence of 20 yeurs, hud been pardoned.
This, the governor said, was a char?
acteristic campaign lie, as the peni?
tentiary records would show, he chnm
nd. that the negro died May 6, 1912.
Newspaper reporters were liars, the
chief executive charged, were paid to
lit* and If they didn't would lose their
Job? Warning the audience not t >
believe anything that appeared in !
'tfie newspapers, the'"governor pre?
dicted his election August 25, basing
.Its certainty on reports which he has
been getting that many men who did
not support him two years ago, would
vote for him this year.
"If I were as certain of belnp saved
as I am of going to the United States
senate," the governor continue!,
"then I'd never pray for myself again,
but only for my friends, as I'd be
safe."
Again today the string of race prej?
udice was much harped on, and this
drew applause from the strong Blease
following In the audience.
Laurens, he said, was a sure enough
white man's county. "A nigger," he
added, "could no more ride tea mall
In Laurens county than a keg of pow?
der last' in heU.''
This; he explained, would not be al?
lowed without him as governor, and
he was sure it would not with him
in the governor's chair.
' The governor got two large baskets
of flowers, which he said he would
piece on the graves of Thomas B.
Crews and John M. Cannon.
L. D. Jennings developed an attack
of ptomaine poisoning last night and
was not In his best form today, nut
got an attentive hearing.
The wholesale granting of pardons,
the mayor at gumter said, was under?
mining the system of trial by Jury
and was responsible for general dis?
regard for the law.
"For ages," he continued, "men's
minds were active in discovering best
methods to try criminals. The plan
which the combined wisdom of our
forefathers agreed upon was trial by
Jury, the court being presided over,
by a Judge, supposed to be learned
In the law. Do you think that betten
than the present situation now exist?
ing In Bouti Carolina?" he asked.
The getting up of a petition, Mr.
Jennings explained, was due only to
the efforts of some lawyer, who was
representing the convicted man. For
this, he sale!, the lawyer was paid, and
he* did not blame the lawyer. "It's
his business," he added.
Mr. Jennings pointed out that four
more years of the present policy
would produce a state of affairs simi?
lar to that Iq Mexico. Many In the
audience etouted their disapproval of
this by answering in the negative.
"There will be an absolute dis?
regard for law," the speaker retorted,
"and that's exactly the trouble in
Mexico."
In the course ot his speech the gov?
ernor had mv.ch to say about taking
the negro out of civil service, and
predicted much as to the hemp and
limb method of destruction.
The Sumter candidate said that he,
too, did not believe that the negroes
should hok. offices in South Carolina,
but that ho did not agree with the
chief executive ae to the shotgun and
hemp rope plana of getting rid of the
negroes. .
When th? question was put to the
audience, "Would you take part in
hanging a man who was delivering
mail In Laurens county?" there were
many answers in the affirmative.
The proper way to prevent negroes
from holding these Jobs, the speaker
explained, <?ras by repealing the 14th
and 16th amendments, thus disquali?
fying the negroes as to citizenship.
Then they could not apply for civil
service examination.
It was further pointed out that sen?
timent was growing in both the North
and the West against the negro. The
time, Mr. J innings added, would soon
come when the South could look to
these to help nullify these amend?
ments, but this could not be hoped
for tf men are sent to Washington
who are unfriendly to the present na?
tional administration and at logger?
heads with the different departments
of the government.
In concluding, Mr. Jennings said
that If the governor should go to the
United Status senate, the first resolu?
tion he wo ild introduce would be a
measure to compel the president to
release all negroes from the federal
prisons.
Mr. Pollock threw down the gaunt?
let to the administration forces from
the opening sentence of his Speech.
Plucking a white cotton bloom from
aA "E. D. Smith prolific" stalk that
had been seen brought to the stand
for the senator, he said that ho pre?
ferred the white bloom, the emblem
of purity aid of the South's pros?
perity, to the red badges. This
brought numerous retorts from the
audience, la which the speaker re?
plied:
"It is better than to the tagged liko
you to keep from getting lost."
In the coarse of hlB speech the gov?
ernor said that 2,600 Blease badges
had been distributed, while his fol?
lowers were begging for more. Mr.
Pollock predicted that there wouldn't
be f?00 on the coats, If tho audience
would listen to him.
At Greensllln last Saturday, the
red-typed, spread-eagled I nlon lte
publlean ticket of Ifiso, on which the
name of J. P. Olbsob appeared as a
candidate for the legislature from
Marlboro county, was torn Into shreds
by some political enemy. Today, when
the Cheraw cundldate held up the
fragmeate le the crowd, one in the
audience branded,the charge against
jIt, Gibson as "a lie." k
This was the only time during the
day that there was any semblance of
disorder beyond that of persistent
heckling of Mr. Pollork throughout
his speech, and for a brief interval
directed against Senator Smith.
Expressing thq possibility of his not
being elected, Mr. Pollock added,
"But I know Cole Blease won't."
"I bring you a mensage frcul the 24
counties we have vis.ted," he explain?
ed. "From the cocst to the Blue
Ridge mountains the voters are sing?
ing the funral dirge of Cole L. Blease
and the womer, (Sod bless their
hearts, are chanting it as they fall
in line." he continued. This speaker
got much applause when he had fin?
ished.
Senator Smith returned to the cam?
paign, today with ha voice greatly
improved.
|s H? began his speech by telling
those about him that he had worked
for" the farmers five and one-half_
i years, and paraphrased the "governor
I by saying that those who didn't like
It could lump it.
? "That's the man Blease has got to
defeat," some one called'out from far
up on the embankment,
r "Pm the man he'd like to defeat;"
the senator came bacic, "but he'll
never do it," he added, while the
crowd sent up a deafening yell.
Hfa competitors were challenged to
suy -whether they Intended to do any?
thing to advance the" price of cotton,
in the event one were elected, If the
senator had done nothing, as charged,
and If no man could do anything,
i "If .you propose to sneak' off like a
whipped "cur and leave'the markets to
be' manipulated by Wall street gam?
blers, get up and say so," the senator
commanded. "If that's your doctrine,
get Op and preach It," he went on,
"and you'll not get enough votes to
know that you were in the race.
At one time it appeared that the
senator would have as much difficulty
in making himself heard as his pre?
decessor had. Senator Smith re?
minded (he chairman that it was not
fair f?r a half dozen men to prevent
the majority of the people from hear
mg the speakers. The little group of
disturbers soon dispersed, and the
speaker was allowed to proceed with?
out further interruption.
Gov. Blease had displayed a re?
vised copy of Senator Smith's cotton
exchange regulation bill. The chief
executive charged that all of this bill
had been cut out with the exception
of tho number of the bill and the en?
acting words and that 'Congressman
Lever's bill had been substituted.
In reply to this Senator Smith said
that Congressman Lever, in his re?
port with the returned bill, said that
the language was changed, but not
the principle of the measure.
"That makes no difference," Sena?
tor Smith added. "I started the work.
I introduced the original bill and
there's some honor in that."
An Infamous letter was being cir?
culated. Senator Smith said, charging
him with dereliction in connection
with the immigration bill.
He had just had a talk this morn?
ing, he said, with a representative of
the Junior Order of American Me?
chanics, and these were entirely satis
lied with the work that the Senator
had done in this direction. "Whether
I'm reelected or not, I shall be sen?
ator until March 4, 1915, and in that
time rto opportunity will be allowed to
go by to try to put this measure oh
the statute books."
Senator Smith said that the Smith
voters August 25 would be as "pro?
lific" as the fruit on the stalk of cot?
ton brougi. to Laurens for the sena?
tor today.
"And you can't head these voters
off," the speaker added in conclusion.
The meeting tomorrow will be in
Columbia. The party goes to Lex?
ington the next day, with Saluda,
Edge field and Alken counties next ad?
vanced upon. * -

' ~ ?e Governor'* Race,
(Editorial Jn New* and Courier. July
, 21.) ?
Because th? Opinion is everywhere
strong thtft Oov. Blease is losing
heavily in support and is sure of de?
feat it Seems to" have been taken for
granted, by Bhtt-Bleaseites, at least,
that trie election of an ariti-Bleaseite
as governor is certain also. We wish
that it were, MM unfortunately, as
matters now Stand, it is not. It fa
entirety possible f?f Governor Blease
to l?se by a substantial majority in
( Rftr race for the seriate and aft the
same time for A Blease candidate for
governor to be assured of election to
that office. ' Moreover, as the situation
appears to be shaping up at pTesent,
there is serious danger, we think, that
this very thing may happen.
The risk lies in the fact that it looks
now as If the anti-Blease vote is likely
to be split all to pieces while there Is
a strong probability that the Blease
support witl be' centered upon two of
the Blease candidates. If this should
happen, the result Would be that white
the anti-Blease people might outnum?
ber the Bleaseites very considerably
the second race-for gover-nor might
not be between a Bleaseite and an
anti eieaseite but betwen two Blease
ites?asy Richards ahd Irby,- or
Richards and Simms. *
? It would" not* be the first time In
South Carolina politics that such a sad
mischance had wrecked the hopes of
a seemingly triumphant majority. In?
deed, I is scarcely overstating the
e-^se turkey that under the primary sys
smu this sort of thing has been the
rule rather than the exception. Take
the-senatorial contest of lit02 as an
example. In that year there were
four candidates from one faction and
two from the other. The voie stood
on follows:
Elliott.13,658
Evans.17,893
Hemphill. ..13,261
? Henderson.. .. .. ..13,771
Johnstone.. . . . ,. ..13,566
Latimer.. ..22,871
The four, candidates from the so
called Conservative wing of the Dem
ocratic party polled a total of 54,246
votes, or 13,382 votes mote than both
Latimer and Evans,. the Reform fac?
tion candidates; but because the Con?
servative vote was pretty evenly di?
vided among four candidates forty
thousand voters out of ninety-six
thousand were enabled to name the
United States senator.
The illustration was not quite so
clear in the senatorial election of
1908, for factional lines ? were not
drawn so closely in that year; yet a
study of the figures reveals very
much the same results in the con
*test of 1902. There were seven can?
didates. The vote stood as follows:
Evans,....27,584
Grace.. .. .. ...... 1,499
Johnstone. ..13,656
Lumpkin., .. 4,361
Martin...6,802
Rhett., .. .. .. ....22,422
Smith., .. ... ..30,013
It is not a matter susceptible of
proof, but citizens familiar with the
conditions which existed at that time
will generally agree that Mr. Evans
and Mr. Smith each drew practically
his entire strength on the first ballot.
There were 4 7., 241 voters(who in the
second primary had to choose between
candidates neither of whom was as
acceptable to them as some third can?
didate would have been.
It is some misadvantage of this sort
whlch; we fear in the governor's race
this year, unless the anti-Blease vote
can. be reasonably well concentrated
on . some one of the candidates
avowedly opposed to things which
have made the administration of the
present governor notorious. It is
true that there are nearly as many
Blease men in the race as there are
anti-Blease men; but there is every
reason to believe that the Blease forces
will concentrate upon two of the
Blease candidates and let the rest go.
They can do that. Blease has lost
strength but the elements which are
for him are cohesive and organized.
They will vote as their leaders say
vote. , ~ ,
If this plan is followed?and for
our own part we do not doubt but
that it will be followed?there is a
possibility that two of the Bloa-te can?
didates may each receive upwards of
or better than 25,000 votes in the llrst
primary.
Js there any anti-Blease candidate
for whom that many votes can be
figured out in the first primary as
things look now? We don't believe
it.
There is every chance for the nntl
^Blease' forces?the forces of reform
and progress?to name the next gov?
ernor in the contest this summer, but
It will be an easy matter for them
to forfeit that chance if they con?
tinue to proceed a.s tbey are now
proceeding upon the theory that an
anti-Blease man Is sure of election
and that they can afford to scatter
their votes about as they please in
trie first primary.

BROWNiNG MAKES REPLY. .

Answer? Pastor Swilli's Article and
Again Attack* Pastor Ku*sell.
Editor SumteY Pally Item.
A clipping from your paper of
Jur.e 30, entitled the "Photo-Drama
Defended4* has just come to my atten
ion. The artlrle 1? signed "Pastor Al?
fred L Smith.'f'so Orte would natur?
ally judge that Mr. Smith Is not only
a RusseTltte but* a preacher of that
faith, since his title is'similar to Pan
tor Russell's. It is to" "be hoped that
Pastor Smith obtained his ecclesiasti?
cal title in a much more satisfactory
way- than Russell did for nobody
seems to know how Russell ever be-r
came "Pastor" Russell except that he
Jlist assumed the title.
Mr, Smith objection to my criticism
of the photo-drama "Creation"?espe?
cially where I referred to parts of it
as "being weak and ludicrous." He
reminds me that two million people
have seen it. No small wonder that
so many have seen it. it's a free
3"how and .greatly advertised and there
are two million more who will ptob
ably see it but that won't make it
any better. Both Pastor Smith and
Dr. Young of Columbia closed their
replies to my critic ism by reminding
me of the fact that the Chicago Board
of Censorship pronounced these pic?
tures the finest Chicago had ever wit?
nessed. That certainly makes me sor?
ry fOr Chicago. Just let any ordinary
bible student look at the pictures of
Noah in the photo-drama. Poor old
fellow He is dressed in a three
quarter mother hubbard and with a
mOp of hair that looks like a corn
shock tied in the middle. It made me
feel sorry for the Noah family to see
them henling into the ark a bunch of
animals that, reminded one of a
stranded one-ring circus.
Again, for illustration, look at
Abraham and Issac on their way. to
the sacrifice. Isaac has about enough
sticks to build a crow's nest and when
he gets the altar ready it looks more
like smoking a rabbit out of a hole
than anything else.
But every person to his taste, as
the old woman said who kissed the
cow, so we'll pass from the pictures to
Russell. Pastor Smith holds that it is
unfair for me to criticize Pastor Rus?
sell's good name and character and
regards such criticism as "false and
malicious slanders." My reply is that
when a man puts himself up for a tar?
get he must expect to be shot at. If
Pastor Russell is a great religious
leader and claims, as he does, to be
that "faithful and wise servant" re?
ferred to In Matthew 24:4 6-46 then we
have a right to expect him to practice
what he preaches. We want to sett
what his religion does tor him before
taking it too seriously.
Pastor Smith says that I reveal a
woeful lack.of knowledge of the teach
ings of Pastor Russell. Neither am L
familiar with the teachings; of Rous?
seau for the reason that hi* life is re
pellant to me. However, let anyone
who haa Russell's Studies in Scrip?
tures, volume 2 entitled The Time is
at Hand, turn to pages 246 and 247
and simpi / read the chart. Just look
at It. Jesus Christ camo to this world
as Bridegroom in Oct. 1874. He as?
sumed his power and title as King in
1878. The Millennium begins 1914.
Now who knows thi^? Nobody but
Pastor Russell. This is a fair sample
of Russellism. WhnUs-the use of
my digging up all hin errors?
Let's look now at this man who
claims to have all this inside infor?
mation concerning the secrets of
heaven.. Pastor Smith compares Pas?
tor Russell with the Master who, when
he was reviled ,revi! *d not again.
This comparison is very unfortunate
when we see Pastor Russell sueing
the Brooklyn Eagle for the handsome
sum of 1100,000 and having the civil
court of New York decide against
him.
Mr. W. T. Ellis, the edltor-a-Meld of
"The Continent," interviewed Pastor
Russell after Russell had made a
world tour investigating the mission?
ary work of the churches. Mr. Ellis
says that any. school boy with a
knowledga of world geography could
riddle Russell's supposed investiga?
tion. He merely made a little sight?
seeing scamper around the world and
then came back and tried to discred?
it the work of 20,000 mission?
aries which involves an expenditure of
