EXPECTED ASSAULT.
State Senator Sought Protection for
Part in County Troubles.
COLUMBIA, S. C., July 24 l/P).—The
Shooting of Senator E. J. Dennis today
in Monties Corner was the climax to a
Warfare that has raged for years. •
Polities and the iiquer-nmking indus
try in Heli Hole Swamp, a section of the
county, have combined to make killings
almost common occurrences.
That Senator Dennis expected to be
killed was no secret, and in a confer
ence with Gov. Richards no later than
yesterday he informed the Governor he
was positive he would be ambushed at
•n early date.
He had made an appeal to the Gov
ernor to send troops in the coming pri
maries to see that order was maintained,
and that his opponents did not ‘ take
the ballot boxes.” He was being op
posed for re-election by a leader of the
hostile faction.
After his election in 1928 to the
General Assembly, the situation became
more tense. Senator Dennis, a close ’
friend of Gov. Richards, was generally
credited with being instrumental in the !
removal from office of Sheriff c. P. Bal- i
Jentine in 1929. who was charged with I
misconduct in office.
In 1929 Senator Dennis was charged !
•long with others, wi*h conspiracy to
Violate the prohibition laws, but was '
acquitted.
