TENNESSEE CROPS
DAMAGED BY RAINS

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, July "a
Reports from the adjoining districts
continue to indicate varying crop dam
age as the result of the heavy rains of
the past two months. Wheat in several
places is sprouting in the shocks.
Peaches and cantaloupes which are be-
ing received in the local market are
inferior in taste because Of the absorp-
ton of so much water during the final
stages Of maturity.
The quantity Of the crops has not
been injured so much as the quality,
according to the produce merchants and
the farmers.

LEXINGTON, S. c., July 23.-So
howled and interrupted was Governor
Blease during his speech at the cam
paign meeting here today. that he quit
10 minutes before his time expired. By
one of his interrupters, Rev. w H. Hill
Ter, formerly pastor of the Lutheran
church of this city, but now an insur-
ance man of Columbia, he was de-
nounced as IAN infamous liar" and an
other of his interrupters 8. P. Sehnei-
der of Lexington, a graduate OF the
University of South Carolina, offered
to compare records with him at that In

insisted on his explaining why he voted
for that bad man Jones'" after Jones
had voted against the separate coach
bill.
GOOD NATURED CROWD.
The crowd, which numbered about
/ ,20O, started off good naturally, but
when the candidates for governor were
reached they began to hurl questions
and interrupt with hurrahs.
The Jones men were more persistent
in the fire of questions opened on the
governor than at any place heretofore.
He was greeted with cries of "hurrah
for Stothart," "hurrah for pickpockets
and barnburners" They took up Judge
Jones' charges that the governor still
had in Office the dispensary constabu-
larry at Charleston against which the
investigating committee had received
testimony showing that officer had re-
ceived graft and that the governor had
pardoned men who had been convicted
of larceny from the person and of ar
son.
Governor Blease came back at his adj
versaries in the crowd with retorts, but
the retorts did not serve to silence them
as they have at other places. They per-
sistently came back at the governor
with greater and greater insistance I'M
til he gave up his speech with the ad-
monition to the newspaper men to say
tomorrow that Zones men never held
anybody down."
PREACHER INTERRUPTS.
While the governor was giving his
reasons for the pardon of Wash Rawl'
convicted of burning the barn of D. M.
| Crossan, of this county, he was inter-
rupted with a cry of "hurrah for pick
pockets" from Rev. Mr., Hitler.
