OWING to the modern abuse of the term "Bargain" this word has lost much of its former attractive?
ness, but we have prepared a wide assortment of Seasonable Merchandise, displayed on the center
tables, convenient to see, and which is suitable for both big and little people. We will call it our "Half
Price Bargain Counter" because anything on it will go at 50 cents on the Dollar, and if we have given
it the wrong name be sure to tell us so.

?ECKLERS CHALLENGED.
BL KAMT KS MAKE SPEAKING
HARD FOR OPPONENTS Of
GOVERNOR.
Bless* Say* He Would Call Extra
?mail a of Legislature, If R Would
Pan* a "Stay" L?w?Good Crowd
PlUMJUt at Darlington.
Darlington. Aug. 8.?A crowd of
from 2,000 to 2,600 voters heard the
quartette of senatorial candidates
here today. There was little depart?
ure from the customary daily routine
speeches, and the only semblance of
disorder was the spirited replies that
were directed at L. D. Jennings and
W. P. Pollock, when these two can?
didates were tearing Into shreds the
governor a defense of his record. At
one time the resentment against the
latter became so boated that chorus
went up 'Take him down'" which
was repeated a dosen times or more.
With his head erect and shoulders
thrown l>eck, Mr. Pollock shouted
defiance into the faces of the heck?
lers by telling them "Not one dirty
eoward In the audience can take mo
,diJWA
There were three particular points
of Interest In the speeches today. The
first was the charges of W. P. Pollock
that "Josh" Klrven, candidate for the
Isgislaure In Darlington county, held
a mortgage on a Darlington planta?
tion as remuneration for invoking the
governor's ercy in the Interest of
A. O. Tedder, sent to the penitentiary
for life for manslaughter.
Senator Smith added another fea?
ture when he made his first plea of
the campaign for the cotton mill voto.
The Darlington milt has been closed
down for a week or ten days, and
today there was a small bunch of op?
eratives who kep up a firework ot
replies at Senator Smith.
Turning directly to these the StsV
ator pledged himself to work for
them ss Sealously as he had the
farmers. If these would but take him
Into their confidence. lie told them
that he would work for them truth?
fully and honestly, and that he would
make them no promises that he
wouldn't keep. There were scattered
cheers from these In response to the
senator's plea.
The strategic point In Oov. Blex'te's
spesch was his answer to the peti?
tion praying 'or an extra session of
the State legislature to formulate
some plan to counteract the demoral?
ised condition of the cotton market
In consequence of the European crisis.
This extra session will be called on
one condition, the governor said, and
that la that the members of the gen?
eral assembly shall agree in advance
to pass a "stay'' law, which will ore
vsnt the foreclouse of chattel mort-i
gages during; the demotion of the
cotton market. It is not to be a gen?
eral "moratorium." which would pre*]
elude the payment or oll ?lehn, hut
would apply onl> to those for which
chattel mortganes . ervo as security.
The speeches today were made
from the court house steps, square* of
seats havinn been ranged around In
the shade of several large court yard
trees. J. J. t.'oggeshall. county chair?
man, presided, and kept the enthu
slaam and partisan feeling of the au?
dience within proper bounds.
I? D. Jennings spoke first. The
governor's whole campaign, this can-1
dldate said, wan made on abuse ot'
newspapers iml newspaper men, cer?
tain disputed votes of Senator Smith's
nearly 20 years ago. and a general
round of abuse of everybody that
happened not to agree, with ihc chief
executive.
Mr. Jennings said he knew nothing
about the newspaper reports of pre?
vious campaigns. "Hut 1 do know."
the mayor of Sumter continued, * that
the reporters with tnis senatorial
partv have given fair reports, nnd
havs told no lies on any man."
If the newspaper men were all
liars, as the governor charged from
day to day, then it was the governor's
duty, Mr. Jennings challenged, for
the chief executive to furnish the
proof as to their mendacity.
The mayor of Sumter explained that
the people were learning through the
newspapers of the governor's record,
much to the despair of the chief
executive.
"Mr. Pollock and I have held up
the record from day to day, and the
governor hasn't yet called us liars,"
Mr. Jennings emphasized.
Bleaseism wouldn't last long if all
the people were educated, Mr. Jen?
nings went on.
One of the pertinent questions
which he put to the audience today
was, "Why was it necessary that
'Portland Ned/ when released, had to
be brought to the governor's otllce,
and not turned loose directly from the
penitentiary as other convicts had
been "
There was much applause from
tho antl-ndmlnlstration forces in the
audience when W. P. Pollock was in?
troduced, against which swept an?
other gust of remarks, intended to
confuse the speaker and counteract
the friendly reception he was receiv?
ing. One volunteered the question
"Who's paying your campaign ex?
penses?"
No man, the Cheraw candidate re?
plied, had promised to pay a penny
of these expenses, which, he .said,
was more than Hlcaae could say.
"Ills money," tho speaker went on,
"Is coming from tho lawless element
of the State, contributed by the blind
tigers, the race track gamblers and
poor deluded human beings like you
who don't know any better."
This speaker went through hi.s
customary excoriation of the gov?
ernor's "tainted' appointment record,
ami again today reiterated the charge
that "His fraudulency can not be de?
pended upon to keep the party
pledge." In supporting this, Mr. Pol?
lock cited numerous instances where
the governor had violated his oath to
support the Democratic nominee and
appointed a Hleaselte to the otllce of
master, magistrate, auditor or treas?
urer when an anti-Bleaseite had been
elected.
Senator Smith leaves tonight for
Washington to formulate plans in ad?
vance for tho cotton congress which
has been called to relieve tho de?
moralized condition of the cotton
markets in America, provoked by
the European conflict. The senator
read a telegram from tho assistant
secretary of the treasury, saying that
this officer would break an em;mo?
ment to meet with the senator in the
tatter's ofllce in Washington tomor?
row morning for a conference on
tho financial situation. Sen itor
Smith said he would urgo that the ma?
chinery, for the completo operation
of tho new banking law, bo complet?
ed with dispatch. When this has
been done, then farmers can demand
i certain percentage of the value of'
cotton from the nstional banks, the
cotton to be aceopted as collateral.
Senator Smith discussed in detail
tho measures he had been Successful
la getting through congress for the
regulation of the cotton markets, nnri
that which would guarantee ? hatter
price for cotton. To this he added
* brief explanation of his resolmi ?n
to get the smoniates and the nitrates)
investigated. In consequent e .>f thlv
Banntet smith pointed out, nitrate <>r
Soda dropped off l]| a ton Within six
months. Farmers were also remind*!
ad tbat he had Initiated the Investiga?
tion of tho cotton tie and bagging
trusts. Trices for these this sens "i
bavt been ctit practlcall) la half, tiio
?cantor said. Senator smith was well
received, having been greeted with
much applause when introduced, and
cheered enthusiastically when he had
Umsind speaking.
The governor was the last sneaker,
[aad bis pent-up enthisststic follow
era created a disruption in Senator
Smith's speech when the chief ex?
ecutive came to the stand in the
course of the former's speech.
Today the governor read again the
fiscal statement produced at the
Camden meeting last Tuesday, indi?
cating the increase of taxable prop?
erty from >ear to year, despite thr
cry of "havoc" when Bleaae was elect?
ed four years ago.
To counteract the charge that a
wave of lawlessness is sweeping over
the state, the governor put on ex?
hibition figures compiled from the so?
licitors' reports, Indicating a decline
In the number of trials and convic?
tions.
Bach day the governor takes par?
ticular pains to warn his following
not to believe anything that nay ap?
pear in the newspapers.
The governor is haunted by an
? ??? i I
other spectre, which is that the
Bleasciteg on election day wll| not
stay at the polls after voting. He
is as particular to Urge that his par?
tisans not only vote, but stay by the
ballot boxes until the vote has been
counted. At the conclusion of bis
speech today the governor was borne
away on the shoulders of animated
followers to the hotel, with from
one-fourth to one-third of the audi?
ence in the line of march.
The next meeting Is at BishopvllVu
Monday.
The European war and its effects
on the price of c?>tton and oth.-r
farm products is the chief subject. Qf
discussion these days, politics hay?
ing dropped into the background to
a considerable extent since the begin?
ning of the great European contiict.
