.BLEASE SPI1S AND STAMPS.
MEETING AT BAMBERG PROVES
RATHER EXCITING.
Governor is Angry, Tears up Telegram
Handed Him by County Chairman
and Spits Upon 1t.

Bamberg, June 27.-The United
States senatorial campaign meeting
here today partook in some slight de-
gree Of the boisterous nature of the
gubernatOrial campaign meeting Of
two years ago. That was the trough"
day of the entire campaig,. that year.
1t was on the morning succeeding the
Spartanburg dictaphone episode, and
the language of one of the candidates
in referring to the alleged revelations
was so nauseating that ladies were
compelled to leave the grounds. At
no other places visited this campaign
have the lines Of partisan cleavage
been so definitely drawn. Other voters
have not been so emphatic in their
preference of candidates. At no other
place were the candidates more lib
orally applauded. At no place have
more questions been fired at the
speakers, nor the parrying and thrust
ing and the acid replies been more
appreciated or returned with more
deadly effect. ,.l
When the governor was introduced
today he was ashed by H. c. Folk,
the county ch 'irman, to answer a
telegram sent during the recent ses-
sion Of the State legislature, asking
why the governor was not supporting
Mr.. Folk for master, when Mr.. Folk
was the Democratic primary nominee,
but had sent another name to the
senate for confirmation. The chairman
also propounded an additional ques-
ton: ''Is a man who violates his
oath at the ballot box fit person to
send to the United States senate?"
The governor totally ignored the
latter question, and taking the tele-
gram. tore it into shreds, spat upon
it and stamped it with his feet. The
governor ther said: "If that dirty
coward who made the threat against
me in the drug store is in the au-
dience, now is the time for him to do
his work" There was no movement
in the audience, nor any response.
Gov. Blease asserted that some one
in a nearby drug store had said: II
want to hear Gov. Blease today, as it
will be the last speech he will ever
make" There was no response, and
the governor again said if the coward
were there it was the proper time to
car " out the threat.
The governor had come to Bam-
berg prepared for trouble, as four
State detectives were close by at all
times, closely guarding the governor
against any possible attack. A deputy
sheriff from Newberry was also in
the party.
