GOVERNOR LEADS AUTO PROCESSION A VERY EMHlSlAsTH BLEASE < KOU1) IT FLORE N< E Jennings and Pollock Make Their [ sual Speeches?Blease Attacks; Smith. Voa-c ?j nrl Pmiri/fr Forence, Aug. 11.?Supporters of Governor Blease iirom iFlorence and several adjoining c unties united today and ga ve their candidate probably the biggest demonstration he has received siDce the opening of the campaign ?for toe United States senate. Ii was stated here that the Blease leaders in this section had for a week or more been working to make today's camiSkign meeting pretty much of a Blease rally, and if such was the case their efforts were successful to the ex lent ci at least aiviamg cue uiunu with the anti-Bleaseites. It was evident, however, taat of the purely Florence county portion of the audi-1 ence, a majority was not for the governor. In opening the meeting State Sena- j tor Joseph W. McCown, the county chairman asked his "fellow Democrats of Florence and neighboring counties" to give each speaker a respectful hearing. Senator Smith, first, and Governor Blease, second, spoke to between 2,000 ann 2,500 hut the time Mayor L. D. Jennings was introduced me governor Ibad departed, about one-toird of the crowd following him. Quite a scattering of Bleaseites, however, remained and heard the governor's record lamtasted bv Messrs Jennings and Pollock It was said that .during the speeches of these two candidates several of the red badge wearers were .seen to remove their crimson em'blems. Blease Arrives. Governor Blease arrived on the stand a few minutes before the chairman rapped for order. He came to the meeting at the head of a procession! of a dozen or more automobiles, all j decorated wiCh banners inscribed, i "Florence County for Cole. L. Blease.'" j A great many of the anti-Blease men wore white rM>on and white cotton blooms. The crowd at times was quite noisy, due, perhaps to the fact that the dispensaries were open awhile this morning. .There was no real disorder, however, and so far as could be learned no arrests were made. XI A J -ueeiing upeueu. The meeting was held in the grounds of tie Dargan street central school. State Senator J. W. McCown, the county chairman, in calling the meeting to order addressed the crowd as "fellows Democrats of Florence and j neighboring counties." Tie Rev. R. T Gillesiie, of the First Presbyterian church, offered prayer. Senator E. D. Smith, the first speak- j er, was received witn applause, mingled with cheers for the governor. The senator said he desired to * let his friends know the physical condition lnu 'tfhida he found himself as result of his hurried trip to Washington and return without missing a campaign meeting. The senator then told the crowd about the conference in Wash- j ington Sunday, when the matter of government aid in the present cotton crisis was discussed. He told of his efforts to have federal funds sent te ; the small banks in the South to be tent to the farmer, with' cotton as collateral. He declared he would rather be instrumental in relieving present conditions than be returned to the United States senate, if it came to a choice. Held His Cotton. The senator was asked what he had j done with his cotton when he was advising other to hold. He declared he | had held his and that the man who I stated otherwise was "a dirty liar." At this point there was ->n attempt by some of the Bleaseites to interrupt the senator, when Sheriff Thomas S. Burcn intervened, asKing in&i, mc crowd maintain order and give eack candidate a respectful hearing. To one man who tried to interrupt him, t&e senator said, "if you had as much brains as niouiih you'd take that red badge off.'' "1 liis started more noise, the sheriff again pleading .for order and asking the would-be disturbers to "act like white men:' The senator delivered most of his regular cotton speech/ reviewing his work for the farmers, and concluded by declaring that "despite t!?.e world, the flesh, the devil and these tlhree lawyers, I'm going back to the senate to work six years more for those who sent me there." He received prolonged applause. Loving Cnp for Blease. Justvbefore being introduced, u-orernor Blease was presented with a handsome silver loving cup, inscribed: "To our Governor, Coleman Liv, ingstou Blease. From his Florence ~ ?? r v ::.ty Frknds, 1! . 4." ! The presentation w:.s made by .. airmail MeCown. tiie go.<-n.?.>r responding a;. ! express:!)*- hi- thanks '.eelingly. He said 1m- would take tiie c'.p to tve K i and give it to the ! j"best Icokin- red-headed woman in j South Carolina." The Norwood Incident. T.e governor, referring to the Xori wood incident during the campaign : meeting in Greenville, declared that j J. IW. Xcrwood came on the stand and "attempted to assassinate the I ' governor of South Carolina." Reading j from "Men of Mark,'' the governor i said Mr. Norwood had since the Chi- i cago conventicn been voting the Republican ticket, and that his "attempt" ! in Greenville was to help "tinis (Nor-, j wood's) Haskell friend, Smith," i whom, however, added the governor, ' the affair had injured. The governor launched into his usual criticism of Senator Smith's record, with particular reference to the appointment of United State Marshal | James L. Sims, District Attorney I XT Wflfftnn on/1 Tntorniil T?PtV 1' 1 au^iO 11. Uio ivii uau jluwa uiaa I enue Collector D. C. Heyward, in all of which, the governor declared, the | farmer !had been ignored. "All of this war scare is talk," said the governor, who further declared that the ill effects would net be felt long. When the governor urged the holding of cotton, somebody asked him how to do it and "how about warehouses. The governor replied that in his opinion! the warehouse | scheme is for the purpose of helping \ a tfew men "to unload some brick buildings." The governor said the main way in which Rleaseism has hurt the State was to "keep a lot of hobces out of office and put decent men in." He read his usual statistics. Refers to Pardons. Referrring to pardons, the governor said: "If it hadn't been for the pardoning power of God Almighty ever) Smithite wouJd nave Deen in nen long ago," while his supporters loudly applauded. The governor declared that he had in his "2ood reasons" for every ! parole or commutation granted by him, ! "Any man who says, by word a: act, | that 1 have ever received one cent, or | that any of my agents, with my conj sent has received anything, is a dirty, lying, blackguard ana cowara, saia Governor Blease. The governor received a bcfx of handsome fkwers. L. D. Jennings Speaks. Mayor L. D. Jennings of Sumter said he noticed the same men wearing red badges at a number of the meetings and that they could not be residents of "all these counties." Mr. Jennings said the governor claimed be had two men at each club, and, said the speaker, these two men are 'for the purpose of voting those men who haven't sense enough to vote themselves, but that + >< nrn qto riot onmich CllP-h tl~> T?Ht thft clji avw v? vw x -?- . governor in the senate. He said a great many good men are wearing red badges. "You're rigit there," came from a Bleaseite. I "But when these good men have their eyes opened they'll cut their threats before they'll vote for Cole. L. Blease," added Mr. Jennings, with wfoich, however, tfre red badfee wearers disa- , greed. Rof/irrin? tn thp ^-ovem-cr's state AVVA-VA'AMQ WW w O- * rnent about Smithites and the Almighty's pardoning power, L\lr. Jennings said that had it not been for the "accident" two years ago, which kept the governor in office, many Bleaseites j would now be in the penitentiary. He said the govern:r had likened himself i to the Almighty, and that "Bleaseism ' is a thousand times worse than heath- j enism/' I Reviews Saunders Case. iThe speaker then reviewed the j Saunders case, asking, "Do you j Bleaseites approve of that?" i "Yes," replied one Bleaseite: "everything Blease does is all aright/' from another, the speaker retorting, "If you j j- ?-? ~ r*rvr? r\r* VA11 r I < CIO V - U HI t* CHUCi a- uav-ugiui v/i jvu? I I wife won't let you live with her." "WLio is Chicco supporting?" some ' one in the crowd asked. "Blease, ever since he came out," replied the speaker, who aded that vot-! ers could he bought in Charleston for ' 'tfrom 50 cents to one dollar a head." j \Tr Tonnino's told the Bleaseites that if! I they wanted to vote with "that bunch" to move to 'Charleston. To Miss Attack. The speaker delcared that tJhe governor took his followers away with him because he knew if they heard th j | truth they could no longer be led to j tbe ballot box like sheep; that the gov| ernor, when it was necessary Tor him ! to take a stand, was always found on | ttae side of the "despoilers of woman- | j hood." He then presented the record in i J the R- A. Richey case, telling the j Bleaseites that if thev endorsed all the other pardons, "for God's sake condemn that one/' adding that he would j not "have the votes of those "who did, j endorse it "to rapresent you in t&efocti tomless pits of hell or anywhere else." jMr. Jennings concluded amid loud ap f , 11?. Pollock Hoard. Mr. \\\ P. Po)iO(-:C said ho had *.ieon [Galled upon a: the hotel this morn: i?.i; by r vresonta-iv*>s thf iO.-aso _ faction in Florence county, who. said , the speaker, requested him not ro say : | anything offensive about those who in j i .heir judgment, would vote i or Gov-j i ernor Blease. He declare.! that t'r.is ! i i request was unnecessary, as every j i vcter had a right to cast his ballot as j he pleased; that South Carolinians j could be depended on to do the right ; tcing. "To leave you home," came from somebody in the crowd. "Yes, but to leave me home to help pile up the ashes on the political corpse of Cole. L. Blease," retorted the . weaker, who called attention to the departure from the. stand of tine governor, accompanied by many of Ms supporters, as soon as the executive concluded his speech. Mr. Pollock displays two cartoons at the expense ?f the governor, while the crowd cheered 1 1 UA /IOIAO thof + Vivrv anr. luyuij. iXC UtiVUI V.U luub UilV ernor "did not have the South Carolina manhood to stay here and take 'Ms medicine." Can't Make Forecast. The speaker said he could not promise, judging the future by the past, that "his ::raudulency, Cole. L. Blease," would not, if elected to the senate, be found lined up "with the Bull Moosers and Republicans." He declared that .-l I tjjie governor nau vima-ieu ms wuj \jl office by refusing to appoint primary nominees in Georgetown, Bamberg, Aiken, Spartanburg and Chesterfield counties. "Tell us about 'Josh' Kinven; he's here today," came from the crowd. "Cole Blease is the greatest nigger lover the State has ever had," said Mr. Pollock; also called attention to the large number of negroes turned out +Jx. LUC ycxiit^utiai The speaker said that two years ago a the governor, on every stump, called ^ Judge Jones a niggger lover, but when a the governor got to Lancaster "to 11 catch a few votes," he told the people that Judge Jones was a mighty fine C: man and should be put back on the Su- C preme bench. Ci Mr. Pollock made his usual re.er- n ence to the appointment of the governor's staff, and exhibited the "Union p Reimblican" ticket of 1880. , I ^ The Mcintosh Case. o Wlion tbe speaker declared that . some "p:or, deluded, miserable Bleaseite*' shot Dr. Mcintosh, there came s, from the crowd-several cries of "Prove c it," Mr. Pollock saying he would prove ^ it by the governor's own words, quoting the governor as saying Dr. IMcIntosh wouldn't lie and that Dr. Mcintosh stated that his assailant, while (> escaping yelled back, "Now you won't bother Coley tomorrow." IJ He asked why the governor :had not offered a reward for the capture of the man wio shot Dr. Mcintosh or for the ^ man who, according to Dr. Mcintosh, ^ forged the latter's name to the certifi- p cate in the Richey case.. ^ "What are you running ifor?'' some- ^ body asked the speaker, who retorted, S( "I'm running to bury Cole Blease and I'm doing it in a fourry." Mr. Pollock's reading of the parody on "Old King Cole," and the Charles- ? ton list for "forriners" brought many ^ hearty laughs, even the Bleaseites who ? remained joining in. ^ The speaker said he hoped the man $ whose record he's been dbliged to ex-' ^ pose will go back to Newberry and be q 9 better man, for ^ G ''While the light 'holds out to'burn, ^ The vilest sinner may return." y S In conclusion he urged the voters _ not to endorse the record of Governor T Blease ana spread South Carolina's di'serace all over the United States. E He closed to long and ud applause, a great many men crowding on the n s.and and shaking hit hand. t: ji Tomato Club Work.
