At the senatorial campaign meeting
la Oeorgetown I. D. Jennings was
howled down by a crowd of Blease
H s. and W. II. Andrews. Mayor of
Georgetown and the leader of the
Bleaae machine In Georgetown coun?
ty, who sat on the speaker's stand,
made no effort to preserve order. Gov.
Bleass who was the first speaker was
given a respectful hearing bv the au?
dience, a majority of which was anti
Bleaae in sentiment. Georgetown
county Is not a Blesse county?two
years ago the v le was nearly two to
one against Bleaae?-which proves that
the howling down of Mr. Jennings
was the concerted effort of a minority
faction. The resort to howling down
tactics to alienee the voice of the man
Whoso arguments they cannot, and
whose arraignment of Blease's record
they cannot disprove, shows their
desperation. Tho truth that JoTnntngs
kf tslling hurts and the Bleaseltes
cannot stand the exposure in tho light
of tho day the dark and damaging
record of Blcase us governor. Bleust?
wont face tho truth himself and left
the stand to escape the terrific gril?
ling of his pardon record by Jen
ot"fs and Pollock. It did not hurt
Jennings to be howled down, it only
extosed weakness of the Blosse
er? wd gad bowed the desperation of
lh< BIssjs machine.

i 'els L. Bleaae has been governor of
th Carolina for three snd a half
a and in that time he has not In?
ert a single constructive policy for
the betterment of the State. He has
? absolutely nothing to further
the development of the Industrial,
national, agricultual or business
rests of the people. His admin?
istration has not been signalised by
oos act that will be rscorded as an
achievement for the upbuilding of the
commonwealth His enttro time ami
ability and the resources of the exe?
cutive department have been devot?
ed to the creation of a political ma?
chine to promote his personal poli?
tical fortunes and to revenge himself
upon those who voted against him.
Hs will be remembered only as the
governor who pardoned more than
twelve hundred criminals?notorious
murderers, rapists seducers, yegg
men. Incendiaries, burglars and blind
tigers among the number. He sill go
down In the history of the State as
the boos of a partisan political ma?
chine, who used the power of the gov?
ernor's office to set the verdicts of
the courts at naught and to turn loose
upon the honest und law-abiding peo?
ple a horde of criminals. That Is his
record a.nl thut record Is the reason
that a majority of people are opposed
to electing as hla successor uny man
who endorses or claims to endorse,

We publish today th? club rolls of
Sumter county. The publication has
neresltuted a great deal of extra work
and considerable expense, but we pub?
lish them as our contribution to the
cause of good government and hon?
est elections. If there are irregulari?
ties or duplicate enrollments that es?
caped the scrutiny of the county exe?
cutive committee, the only method
that coKld be devised to discover these
Irregularities was the publication of
the complete club rolls, so that all the
people might have an opportunity to
scrutinize, compare and check over
the names appearing on the rolls. If
It be discovered that any voters have
enrolled on two or more clubs, or if
minors, non-residents or unnaturaliz
ed foreigners have been enrolled, steps 1
can be (ftltPfj to prevent fraudulent
voting and to punish the culprits.

Blease attended forty-two campaign
meetings with L. D. Jennings and
never had the grit to charge that Jen-!
nlngs had been hired to enter the race
ggf the senat and fight him. He
waited until he got to Sumter, where
he thought Jennings' hands would be
tied, to make the infamous charge.
He evidently thought that the mayor
of Sumter would submit to the in?
sult In silence rather than run the
risk of precipitating a personal diffi?
culty in his own town, and he could
then assert that he had charged Jen?
nings to his face with having been
paid to enter the campaign. But he
made the mistake of his life and had
to take the lie that was thrown into
his face. Jennings called him a "dirty
contemptible liar" and "a cowardly,
lying cur," and there was nobody
itandlng between them. He took it;
ind ho knew that Jennings told the
truth. Blease took the Ho because
he knew1 he was lying when he made
the charge and a liar is always a
coward.
? a ?
Blease tried to save his face by
boasting that he would give any
man personal satisfaction if he would
como to him after the meeting. But
he hot-footed It from the stand and
high-balled It out of town for Blshop
t llle as soon as he finished his speech.
And he carried the brand of "Coward-,
ly cur ami contemptible liar" on him. ?

Vote for Jennings, the man who (
rammed the He down Hlease's throat.
and showed him up to be a coward, as
well as a blackguard und bluffer.
Jennings has done a good work lor
the State In exposing Blense's record.
He has done it at a great personal
iacrlflce and the people of Sumter
county owe it to him to endorse his
work by a unanimous vote. All who

Home, Aug. 20.?Pope Pius X died
at 1.20 o'clock this morning. He had
been ill for several days, hut alarming
symptoms did not develop until Wed?
nesday morning. Throughout the da>
Dr. Marehialava and Dr. Amid de?
voted their utmost energies to stimu?
lating their patient and keeping him
alive.
The cardinals were notilied of the
pope's grave condition and some of
them who entered the sick room de?
scribes the scene as heartrending, es
! peeially when the pontif.'. rousing him?
self from time to time spoke. Once
he said:
"In ancient times the pope by a
word might have stayed the slaugh?
ter, but now he is impotent."
Prayers were said by thousands and
church bells sounded when tho sacra?
ment was exposed upon the altars.
When the court learned of the
pope's condition there was the deepest
concern. King Victor Emmanuel per?
sonally informed Queen Helena and
the news was communicated to the
queen mother.
Extreme unction was administered
by Mgr. Zampini, sacristan to his holi?
ness amid a touching scene. The
pope's sisters and his niece were over?
come with grief. Cardinal Merry del
Val knelt by the side of his bed, where
ather cardinals joined him, members
of the household intoning prayers.
The dying pope, in a moment of
lucidity, said:
"Now I bej^in to think, as the end
is approaching, that the Almighty inj
His inexhaustible goodness wishes to'
apftft me the horrors Europe is under?
going."
Wednesday was one of the most
anxious days in tho history of thc|
papacy. The whole world knew,that I
the pope wus indisposed, but it was!
supposed he was suffering from his
usual ailment the gout. lTp to noon !
even the members of the household
were unaware of the seriousness oi
the developments. Almost without
warning came the word that the pon?
tiff was at deaths* door.
All day his agony continued. At
times he revived and was able to say j
a few words, but hope of saving him
was finally abandoned. Several times,
throughout tho city and at the pal?
ace the rumor spread that the end
had come, only to bo denied later.
In the presence of Cardinal Merry
del Val, the papel secretary, and
Cardinals Ferrata, Cagiano and Bis
leti and the two sisters of the pope,
a bulletin on the condition of the
pontiff was posted early in the after?
noon on the bronze door of the Vati?
can, where the Swiss guards stood
watch. A great crowd outside gazed
with grief stricken face up at the
pope's chamber on the second Hoot
where the windows were closed with
shades.
Grief after the war* in Europe
caused the pope much depression from
the first outbreak, and several days
ago symptoms appeared of tho old
bronchial affection from which the
pontiff had suffered in times past.
On Tuesday Dr. Marchiafava an?
nounced that the pope was suffering
from a simple cold and that possibly
complete rest for a week would re-j
store him to his usual health. The
. i
bronchial condition spread, however,
and on Wednesday it was announced
that the pope's condition was serious
! A bulletin issued at 3 o'clock Wed?
nesday afternoon, signed by Drs
Marchiafava and Ainici, gave the fol?
lowing explanation:
"The pope's condition grew worse
during the night? This was due to the
diffusion of the bronchitis to the low*
l er lobe of the left lung. Symptoms of
heart weakness became ?o threaten?
ing at io.:io o'clock this morning that
Jit was believed the pontiffs life was
endangered. At I.SO p, m.. the sym
jtoms were slightly Improved, hut still
grave."
At times during the day the popo
had much difficulty in breathing. He
Buffered much from headache and in?
ability to rid himself of the accumu?
lations In the lungs. Stimulants were
Injected and oxygen administered.
Several times the pontiff revived and
seemed much better, lie then would
speak to those about him and Insist
that his desires be eexcuted.
in one of these intervals ho asked
for Mgr. Itosa recently appointed sec?
retary of the ronslstorlul congrega?
tion. Mgr. Itosa bud been an intimate
friend of the pope since the pontiff
was Bishop of Trevlso, As soon as
he was notified, he rushed In the Vat?
ican and was admitted to tin- apart?
ment where the pope was lying. Mgr.
Itosa remained ahm?' with the pope.

thought that the pope contided in him
his last wishes.
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary, telegraphed to all the car?
dinals, notifying them of the grave
condition from which the pope was
suffering.
Later the ringing of ehurcll hells
announced to the faithful .he exposi?
tion of the holy sacrament and called
them to prayers for the restoration of
the pontiff to health. This gave rise
to rumors of the pope's death, which
the Vatican denied. j
The poiie's views on peace, cm
bodied in an allocution determined at I
the consistory at which he created I I
i
new cardinals last May, constituted
SUOh a remarkable document that the
Carnegie Peace union, founded In Feb?
ruary by Andrew Carnegie, with an
endowment of * $1, 000,000, decided to'
begin among the clergy of the Roman
Catholic church its educational ac?
tivities in behalf of disarmament and
arbitration by sending to each of the
2:5,000 priests of the United Btates
and Canada u copy of this allocution.
In it the pope referred to 'men of
distinction and force planning schemes
for preventing the calamities of revo?
lution and the slaughter of war and
for Insuring the blessing of peace,"
which coupled With the fact that he
spoke at length with the three Ameri?
can cardinals?Gibbons, Farley and
O'Connell?was interpreted as refer?
ring to the efforts of President Wil?
son and Secretary Bryan in behalf of
universal peace,
"Today." he said, "peace or war in
society and the states does not depend
bo much on the rulers as on the mul?
titudes. Deprived of the lighi of
