BLEASE LOST ABBEVIL9 SENATOR SMITH GIVEN GREAT C OVATION AT ANDERSON?HE RAPS GOVERNOR IN STINGING REPLY?BLEASE APPLAUDED, do tei ce? SUl Abbeville, July 14.?The urst ham. te, primary of the senatorial campaign tai was taken here Tuesday, hut not by lia Governor Blease. When W. P. Pol- ha lock asked those voters who "believe in Cole Blease's record, hold up your jt hands," not a hand went up, although fic hundreds responded to the reverse tic proposition. It was distinctly an an- (,u ti-Blease crowd, numbering fully wc 1,200, less than one hundred of whom pr; followed the governor from the meeting when he concluded his speech. Tu Blease spoke second, Senator Smith first. TWo years ago, in the guberna- j\i, .torial campaign, Blease was the fav- Gf orite. He" carried Abbeville county in ni? that contest by less than 50 votes. Senator E. D. Smith confined himself H( principally to cotton, and his record in the senate. He again read statement of Senator Hoke Smith, giving To the speaker full credit for the bill regulating and curbing cotton exchanges, the South Carolina senator saying his colleague from Georgia rendered valuable assistance in tin. legislation but was 'magnanimous and %vc honest enough," to to give credit ??' where it was due. He denied the bill -() was designed to help one gambler against another, as charged. Smith, fj' as he concludel, was handed a "cotton bouquet," a large stalk of cotton with many open bolls. "Here's my sweet- * }' heart," he said, which the crowd loudly applauded. Gov. Blease said he came here SP mainly to tell about the State's finances and read the record in the R. A. Richey case, showing upon what he based his action in liberating Richey. He said the State had just borrow- Qf ed $350,000 at the low rate of 3 1-2 ia. per cent, although it had been report- to ed that an extra session would have to ce] be called to provide for,the raising of ph funds to pay the State's obligations, sh He read or referred to practically ev- ed ery letter, certificate, etc., in the Richey case, saying he did so to nail the liw that, had been circulated in Abbe- . ville county, regarding the matter, u?iu viimv Ativiicj uau nut UCCII paiUUIled or paroled, but given his freedom ty on bond of $5,000 until his physical wi condition warrants his return to the ho penitentiary to complete a ten year co sentence following conviction of stilt- be utory rape. Richey is a middle ageo wi white man of this county. jo; In reference to the Smith cotton bill tb Blease said, "Hoke Smith very adroitly says, "I give you credit for No. 110," the governor adding that the hody had killed Senator E. D. Smith's bills and substituted another, which at he said, is now in conference. ne As Blease finished and left the T1 stand such cries as "Stay, Coley, and Rt take your medicine," "Don't run," wi "He can't stay," were heard. Mi L. D. Jennings denounced the writ- ba er of an editorial in the Yorkville En- ye quirer, for, according to the speaker, pa impugning the motives that prompted foi him to enter the race. The article, as ? read by Jenninys, contained insinuations that both Jennings and Pollock ^ were in the race merely to beat Bleas^ and help Smith,' that possibly the sel- " fish interest behind th??ir mntlvo i= "Money, expenses paid from some ^;0 source, and a good bonus in addition." qc Replying, Jennings declared that if nj, the writer of the editorial does not ru either furnish proof or retract the wj. statement, he is a "contemptible, cow- arl ardly liar," that if the editor can prove the truth of the statement charging a pre-arranged plan to help vj( Smith, he (Jennings) will donate an $5,000 to the deaf and dumb institute na and then withdraw from the race. ' 0f W. P. Pollock said Blease slandered C01 Abbeville county when he said it w< would require an extension of hla term to give him time to sign pardons jn if he had to pardon all the lawbreakers in Abbeville county and he said he 're) would discuss several national issues before holding up "Cole L. Blease in all of his hideous nakedness." , ' He said he dared the governor to ^ try to explain some of the parts of his record, declared Blease wouldn't at) remain on the stand and hear his own p0 record. He said that, although Blease a denounced United States Marshal Jas. L. Sims, because the latter, when a mt boy to set type on a Republican news- ^ paper, the governor appointed on his m( staff Edwin Hirsch of Kingstree, son ?a of the man who owned pant interest jjc in and helped conduct the same paper ?r Simy worked on. He again exhibited the calico back Union Republican ticket of 1880 bearing the names of J P. Hihsnn AIoa O lL _. _ . u iiitrinisiM UI iIlL' governor's staff. wc we The Anderson Meeting. Anderson, July 15.?Senator Smith wc received the warmest reception here cai today that has been extended him ed during the present campaign. He was ex ridden around the public square, seat- ' ed on a bale of real cotton at the head ele of a procession of wagons filled with he farmers and their daughters. In the if parade was a band, and preceding the ha wagon carrying the senator were sev- lin eral rural cavalrymen as an escort. th< At the meeting which was held in ] the hear of the court house, there lh< were approximately '2,500 voters pres- tn ent.

Senator Smith departed from his ual cotton speech to answer the arges of the governor. In speakinp the James L. Sims matter, the sen>r said: "I would rather appoint a or white boy who was working on republican newspaper to feed hidy while his untrammeled soul wa; irching on with Wade Hampton and e red shirts than to appoint as n ;mber of my staff a white South rolinian who ran on a mixed repuban ticket to keep the heel of the neo on the necks of the white people South Carolina." Blease Applauded. Governor Blease, the first speaker, is greeted with loud applause which is uproarious when he predicted bis mination in the first primary. He timed that one of the candidates tuld withdraw from the race heuse the May convention had providthat the election was automatical tendgd if a candidate withdraws. "This is another way to steal the iction for the United States senat.- " declared, "but f warn them now they Attempt this scheme they .vill ve the warmest time South Caroa has had since Wade Hampton and 9 red sHirts rode."

MEDORA This Good Woman Died Vt Night at Her Home in Buried Here Tue i i In the month of March, 1866, just a little over seventy-eight years ago i there was horn to Benjamin Herndon and Caroline Wallace Rice a little girl I named Medora. Benjamin Herndon Rice and Caroline Wallace were representatives of the earliest and sturdiest families of Union county, and I will be remembered by many, if not all of the older citizens of Union . county, or old Pinckney district. Miss Medora Rice grew up in Union coun. ty at the old Rice homestead on Fair Forest just beyond where Buffalo . mills are located. She was educated at the following institutions, viz: old Limestone college under Dr. Curtis, who was subsequently lost at sea: Madam DuPre's at Charleston and old Barhamville college near Columbia. | She was the contemporary of the Do ( gan girls, who were her first cousins on her paternal side and her life as a young woman, was one of beavty and devotion to all of her associates and friends whom in number were legion. In March, 1861, Miss Medora Rice was married to William Wallace Dun' can. a VOUnir preacher ill the Cire-min conference of the Southern Methodist church, filling at that time his first regular appointment at Leesburg, Va., ; from which point he was forced by > thg war to return to South Carolina, ' and then entered the Confederate ari my, where he served as chaplain. Wils liam Wallace Duncan was the son oi . David Duncan and Alice Peamont ^Duncan, the first Professor of Creek i at Wofford college, Spartanburg, S. C.f : which chair he filled from the estab1 lishment of the college in 1854, until : his death in 1881. During the wai Mrs. Medora Rice Duncan remained upon the old Rice homestead, but immediately after the war, her husband was again given active work in the , Virginia conference and sent to Danville, Va., where she lived three years, j then to Norfolk, Va., for three years, : then to Petersburg, Va., three years from which last named city he was ' sent to the professorship of Mental & Moral science at' Wofford college, which place he filled until elevated to the responsible office of a bishop by the church he had so well and faithfully served.

C. Duncan of Union, S. C., and Mrs. Warren DuPre and Mrs. A. (J. Rembert of Spartanburg, all of whom arc ] living. We have given this short his- i tory to refresh the memories of old friends and associates who may be living, and to let those of Mrs. Duncan's li ter years know her early ife. The life of Medora Rice Duncan was one of untiring devotion to the cause of her blessed Master, whom she served for nearly three score years and ten. and the great side lights upon hei jp ious life revealed only acts >f self Sii rifice, and self denial in the service of those who were near and dear to net. .Not only her children rise ui> to t call her blessed, but the cause of the i church work, Y.

Mrs. Duncan's end came on Sunday evening, July 12. Her last afternoon was spent at her home with her son and daughters all with her, and he" entire being indicated pleasure and happiness that not one dreamed was ' to >e closed so soon and so suddenly. '' Enough has been said. Those who ! knew Mrs. Duncan, wherever they may live, know that her life was one of literally walking with Hod, for the mother who forgetting self, cares for ' her children, provides for the future 1 generation, and teaches the boys and j girls kindness and truth, walks with 1 God. Her life was a downpour of ' seeds of kindness, and her dear ones J were not the only ones who were per- \ niitted to enjoy the refreshing shower. Her life was in line with the ami expressive words: "Preach me no doctrine of discontent, < And cry me no cry of despair? < For there's too much gold in the sunshine, < And too much kiss in the air. < It's just that the need is keener ' Of doing the thing that's good? Because the world is better When the heart is understood." NATES ! AS DICTATOR ; "Article 2. We call Licentiate Fran- 1 cisco Carbajal, minister of foreign re- i lations, to assume the presidency." i A ballot was taken and the joint session approved the report.

Huerta's resignation as provisional president of Mexico was hailed by official Washington tonight as the first practical step towards a quie< solution of the Mexican problem.

Dear Sir: I have your letter, in which you state that in Ward in the city if Union, there are two boxes, one upown and the other at the mill. You lesire to know if a party lived out in j die country beyond the mill would be . ibliged to enroll at the mill, or could lie enroll at the other club.
