GOVERNOR BLFASE
ON THE DEFENSIVE
Seeks to Explain r PARDON
of Yeggman.
GOVERNOR CRlTiCISES
NEW PRIMARY RULES

Charged Senator Smith with Voting
with the Republicans.
Barnwell, June 2G.-Ior the first
time since the United States sena-
torial campaign opened, the governor
was placed on the defensive today by
w. p. Pollock, who has been persist
ontly hammerings at the governors
pardon record The governor has been
out Of the running for three days,
missing the Beaufort, Hampton and
Jasper county meetings, and when
he returned to Barnwell today, he was
loaded with reproachcs. He had hard
ly begun his speech before he had
to launch into an explanation Of the
pardon Of the yeggman sometimes
known as Portland Ned" who dis
appeared from the governors office.
This outlaw, the governor said, was
not Portland Ned" but one James
Johnson instead. who had the alias
Of the widely notorious safe blower.
He also read letters from United
States marshall and federal district
attorney, saying tht there were no
outstanding warrants against the
convict at the time clemency was
granted.
The governor made his customary
bitter attack on the newspapers, dcs-
ignating certain reporters as liars"
He characterized the new primary
rules as "a dirty, contemplate piece
OF thievery, which Portland Ned and
all his associates would not be guilty
Of Il. ID. Smith, he said, was a Re-
publican, and no friend of his.
Go For His Record.
Though in a distinctly Blease terri
tory, Mcssrs Jennings and Pollock did
not let up OH their dcnunciation of the
governors pardon record. Il expect
to place the governors record on ex-
hibition from every STUN pin South
Carolina Mr.. Jennings said, "and
the detectives running around with
the party can't scare me off the
stage"
Mr.. Pollock said that he had heard
"niggar, niggar, niggar" until he was
thoroughly disgusted. THAT'S all the
governors got, and If my memory
serves me correctly. l believe it
was only a few years ago that the gov
ernOr was himself a trustee Of ne
gro college in Orangeburg."
Senator Smith, who has been COM
pletely ignoring the charges by his
opponents, today answered the state
ment made by the governor that Mr..
Smith, when member Of the lcgis-
lature, had voted for Il bill to indem-
Nifty the family Of negro, who had
been lynched, to the amount of $4,000.
In answering this accusation, Senator
Smith read article G, section 6. of the
constitution Of South Carolina, which
makes this provision. The constitution
was written, the senator explained, by
Senator Tillman and his Rcformer as
sociates. back in 1895, "thc very hey
day Of the power OF the common
people"
Approximately 1900 voters attend
ed tho meeting and each candidate
was cordially received. The governor
got a welcome similar to that extend
ed by Barnwcll on former occasions.
Senator Smith, too, was a favorite, and
when the governor asked for min
uto at the close of Mr. Pollock s
speech 10 answer charge by Mr..

A Splendid Start.

The Russians have won a good
many battles on paper which were
never won on land or sea or in the
air, but it looks as if Constantinople
is going to outdo Petrograd in the
matter of victories achieved with a
fountain pen. The Ottomanwar office
has made good start in the pro-
duction of official" war fiction. Its
initial effort in this direction is a
story concerning the defeat of a
British war vessel by a Turkish mo-
tor boat.
That looks pretty hard to beat, but
as it is the Turkish war Offices first
attempt, there is good reason to be-
lieve that it will presently be sur
passed as soon as the imaginative
Turk, charged with the duty of tell
ing the world how Turkey is licking
her enemies, gets his hand in and ac-
quires little more experience. The
first stories sent out from Petrograd
were tame compared with others
that followed little later; and it is
a reasonable assumption that the
same thing will be true in the case
of Constantinople. At present Turk
ish motor boats are beating British
warships, which is pretty good for a
starter. If Constantinople's imagin-
ative faculty expands with the pas
sage of time as rapidly as did that
of Petrograd, we shall soon read of
the defeat of Cossack corps by
ten Turkish school-boys armed with
sling.shots and shall revel erelong
in the description OF how the Sui
tan's favorite bantam rooster drove
his spurs into the brains of three
hundred Muscovite infantrymen
while they slept in the fancied Sc
curity of their bivouac in the wilds
of the Caucasus. -News d Courier.

part.
A school Improvement association

ing officers: Mrs w V Nexsen, presi-
dent; Mrs M L McClary, vice presi-
dent; Mrs ] E Tharpe, secretary and
treasurer. Through the efforts of
members of this association a nice

and placed in the school building-a
great addition thereto.
A society has also been organized
under the grown folks society, ,includ:
ing fancy work club for the girls.
This is for the good of the children.

We hope that it will continue to be
successful.

DABBS ADDRESSES FARMERS.
Thinks Extra Legislative Ses-
sion Accomplished Little Good.

The following statement has been
issued by E w Dabbs, head of the
Farmers State Union:
To the Farmers of South Carolina:
The Legislature has met in extra
session and adjourned without do
ing much to help. The limiting of
cotton acreage to one-third of the
land actually cultivated | think is
step in the right direction; but it
sho y have gone farther and plan
ned for markets for farm produce,
and it should have made an appro-
priation for supplying seed grain
and winter legumes to farmers not
able to buy them. Instead of this
real help, it wasted much time on a
bond issue of very doubtful helpful
ness. Fortunately this died without
the farce of an election on it on
twelve hours notice.
The warehouse measure will be of
great service, if it is not confined to
a few big central warehouses, but is
made to cover the State so that
every community can have one so
cheaply constructed that there will
be very little idle capital in the years
when the farmers will sell cotton,
and yet with the States protection
in times like this for the cotton that
can be more cheaply stored and in
sured in small lots in the vicinity of
the gins and where the farmers will
patronize them.
But, after all is said and done, it
remains with the farmers to work
out their own destiny. We must
organize: First, because in union
there is strength" to do many things
the Individual cannot do alone; and,
second, because it is the only way
we can secure legislation that will
really help US with our problems.
We have the Farmers Union as an
organization. Some of US in many
counties are holding it together and
doing effective work. A few Joined
at first for selfish or political pur-
poses. These have all dropped out
and those who are now keeping up
the organization have the highest
motives-the building up of an or
garization for educational develop
ment in scientific agriculture, social
and fraternal advantages, and the
benefits of cooperation in collective
buying and selling. Will you come
with US? We need you and you
need US.
We should like very much to hear
from every school district in the
State within the next few weeks.
Get your people together and notify
the State president, or the State
secretary, ] Whitner Reid, Colum-
bia, S c.
Yours for a stronger Union.
