J Pollock and Jennings are JVj* Still Rapping the Chief ^ Executive. , S ma yei Chester, June 30.?Before apologiz- to ing for or explaining any act or word viv of his, during the three and half years We he had been governor, Cole L. Blease ane at the senatorial campaign meeting wii here today, declared he would return lif^ to Newberry and "go back to work in am a livery stable." This declaration was hu: taken as Governor Blease's reply to but the new attack made on hitn, at not Winnsboro yesterday, when L. D. Jen- up< nings and W. P. Pollock endeavored she to show from the report on the recent fri< insane asylum investigation, that thi: Blease with his board of appointees, sw< had attempted to discredit Dr. Elea- 1 nora B. Saunders, formerly a physi- ed cian of that institution. Dr. Saunders ant and Dr. Babcock, the superintendent, ma resigned soon after the probe resulted pla irt the complete vindication of the in young woman doctor and condemn*- bei tion of methods employed by the inp board of regents. The governor did I not refer to the Saunders case today Me but Jennings and Pollock repeated me substantially what they stated yesterday, reading from the records. Governor Blease Drophesied today # that he would carry Senator E. D. u " - uiuivii o iiuiuc vuuutjf, r luichlc. I1C again declared there Svas now no "Anti-Blease money" in sight al- j though two years ago, he said, it by was not lacking. He did not tell las where any "Blease money" could be tht found. eai The governor declared he was the to happiest man in the State because ?r said he, he was going to be elected ar>< to the senate, has been governor for tir two terms of "the greatest State in crc the Union" and has "got the best I'r looking red headed woman in the th< world." wh "If that don't make a man happy, ho: feVftfc then he ought to commit suicide ana tui go to the devil," said the governor. in\ Senator Smith drew applause when Th he referred to Woodrow Wilson as Mi "that matchless statesman." He re-1 cai X J 1 4.. 4.L. At l I icrreu uneny lu vne inree lawyers mc "chasing" him, declared that six years sei ago he received the biggest majority to ever given a man in South Carolina yei and that he had "kept the faith and in ble spite of the flesh, the Devil, and the 'sp< lawyers, I am going back with six Co years' of experience behind me." bo< L. D. Jennings, referring to the spl governor's claim that he was gaining we in the low country where the cam- an paign opened, declared that if the th< people of the upper counties vote like those of the lower, the governoi tri would have the opportunity of going off back to a livefry stable, where the gov- bei ernor said he worked until he was 21. Jennings touched on Blease's pardon record and read extensively from the report in the Saunders case. He said two waves had set in the State and to when they met, August 25, (date of del primary), "Cole .Blease will be so ex- see tinguished that I guess we'll find him ba in Africa where he can pardon some ba! more "niggers." bif When Jennings was handed a bou- ba quet he declared "I won't disgrace these flowers by putting them on Blease's political grave." an W. P. Pollock referring to Blease's I.' record, declared: "The men of South pit Carolina will not tolerate the manners K? or conduct of a stable boy in the gov- W1 emor's office." He declared Blease wc had criticised Smith for not appoint- "a ing farmers as United States mar-1we ahal or internal revenue collectors, wa but that Blease had chosen Jim Sofan CV tile, "Italian Dago blind tiger" of Charleston as a member of his st^ff. He declared Blease knew of law- wa lessness in Charleston, but made no "J8 efforts to stop it and that the governor was trying to line up good hut mistaken people with the lawless element In that city, led by Vincent Chic- WV co, "the king of market street" and Jim Sottile. "Blease's record is a dis- *,n grace to the State," said Pollock. About seven hundred voters attended the meeting. The candidates speak at Lancaster tomorrow. ' Senator Smith was overwhelmingly ?o the favorite. Long continued applause an' followed the close of his speech. pu. hei An Optimistic Farmer. pa Mr. B. W.

LIP HAS PA PRIZE WINNERS WILL i GO TO WINTHROP Winthrop college being anxious to promote still further the work of the canning and poultry clubs of South Carolina, offers during the summer school, free tuition, free board and free lodging for two prize winning girls from each of the twenty-four counties now in the canning and poultry organization. The winners in this county are Miss Beatrice Prince of , Cross Keys and Miss Louise Gallman J, of Jonesville. Miss Gallman cannot go on account of ill health and Miss v Bemiee Orr of Adamsburg, who scor- ? ed next highest has been selected to ^ take her place. The Merchants and t Planters National bank and the Citi- , zens National bank have generously unereu 10 pay me transportation and incidental expenses of the winning s girls to Rock Hill that they may take s advantage of this offer. The young ladies eligible in the the competition for this prize were a those between the ages of 14 and 18 ^ years of age. The judging of the work was based upon the general con- ^ dition of the plot, the cultural method 9 and the condition of the plants, the daily record of the work. Miss Alsie \ Smith, county organizer, made a complete survey of the patches and se- 11 iected five, but the work of deciding j the highest scorer was given to Mr. : F. W. Carnell, county farm demonstration agent, with the following re- ^ suits: Miss Beatrice Prince 100; Miss 9 Louise Gallman, 90; Miss Benice On*, 89; Miss Lois Mabry, 85; Miss Lily 9 Fowler, 82. These young ladies have 1 worked faithfully and deserve much v credit for the excellent results obtain- ? ed. The weather has been against the ^ club work, but in spite of it all Miss ? Smith is encouraged and cheerful over the prospects. ? FINDS MASONIC PIN b LOST MANY YEARS I ?t Y Charleston, June 30.?A Masonic emblem pin which he lost 33 years ^ ago has just come back to William M. c Bird of this city from Madison, Wis.. 8 having been restored by a Mason of ? that city who picked it up two years ? ago in the railroad station at Chicago. , About two weeks ago a letter war I received at the Charleston postoffice addressed to the secretary of Solomon's lodge, No. 1, of Charleston. As Postmaster J. M. Poulnot is the seci retary of Solomon's lodge, the letter came very readily and promptly into the hands of its addresse. It was J from P. B. Turner of Madison, Wis., who stated that he had a small Ma- J sonic pin inscribed with the name of ( W. M. Bird, Solomon lodge, and asked . if there was such a person in Char- , leston and if he could identify the pin 1 as his property Mr. Turner would like to send it to him. Secretary Poulnot was for many years associated in business with Mr. Bird and had j also sat many times with him in Sol- ( omon's lodge, of which they are both ^ past masters. He put the letter into j Mr. Bird"s hands at once and Mr. Bird communicated with Mr. Turner, ( identifying the pin as his. By an early mail it came to him, together with a letter from Mr. Turner telling ( the circumstances under which it came into his possession. ^ In 1881, that is to say 33 years ago. ( the pin, together with a chain and pendant belonging to Mrs. Bird, were ( missed from a dressing table in Mr. Bird's residence shortly after some ( workmen had finished a job of repairing. It is presumed that one of the men took the articles, but no clue to them could be found nor anything to j warrant arrest. Long since hope of recovering the jewels was abandoned. The Masonic pin had been given to Mr. Bird by a friend in New York and was marked with his name and that of his lodge. It was a small \ gold emblem showing the square and j compasses and the trowel, working | tools of the Masons. 1 Mr. Turner says that two years ago, j while he was waiting for a train in Chicago, he picked up the pin from the floor of the railroad station, and intended to take up at once the restoration of the emblem to its owner, but i had forgotten about it and only ic- i cently recalled it when he came across the pin in a box where he had put it 1 away. llow the pin came to Chicago and through what hands it has oassod air,../ 54- ?,??. * " U.I.W 11/ nao lunun 1IIIIII mr. DIM a house in Charleston a third of a century ago, would make, no doubt, an interesting history. The only evi- . dence the pin gives of its having experienced vicissitudes is the absence , of the handle of the trowel, on which was the catch for the fastening, ana ' it is not unlikely that the breaking of this was the cause of its. falling in the station at Chicago whereby it came into the hands of Mr. Turner , and so back to its rightful owner. t Mr. E. F. Smith, a good citizen of ! Pacolet, route 2, was in Union Tues- j day. Mr. Smith is not in the best of . health. He says his war wounds have shortened his days. Here's hoping he may be spared many days upon the earth. ^ We published last week the fact s that Lockhart is to have a big barbc- 1 cue and speaking, with several games t of base ball played in July 4, Satur- < day. This is to again remind vou that i you are invited to go out to I^ockhart I on Saturday and enjoy the day. f MDSAY SSED AWAY ie Was One of the Land- . marks of Union County, i a Gallant Follower of Robt.
