Storm al Poliack.
Mr.. Pollock was the fHst speaker
and was subjected 10 storm of per-
sistent interruptions by pal sans o
the governors faith. Nhen these
were told t1at free speech and a free
press were two Of the sraeJest Of
American liberties, some retorted in
a manner TO discredit the speaker 5
statement.
If you'd open your ears N re to
free speech and read more of the
press, some OF the scales would fall
from your eyes, and t2ere would be a
better condition in South Carolina
the speaker saot back.
He was asked: 'EHow much did
Cole L. Blease pay FIR you?' ad ling, "if
he paid as much as 30 cents, then
he got che ed out of about 19 1-2"
Lexington hearers were told today
that if they would examine the roll
Of delegates from this county to the
State Democratic convention last

Bleaseites who had voted the Bull
Moose ticket.

Mcintosh was brought into the
speeches again today. Mr.. Pollock
asked: What is to come to pass
when a d3ctor, who has been eulo-
gized by the governor as man who
wouldn't lie, is shot down in the
dark?''
NO" the speaker went on, CDR.
Mcintosh wouldn't lie, but you dirty
towards know that you lie when you
'ccuse DR.. Mcintosh of shooting him
self"
Tie Spartanburg speech of the gov
ernor, in wlich the chief executive
$ said to have ad3ised the shooting
down Of any physician who attempted
20 examine the daughter of any one
in compliance with the prop sed
medical inspection school measure,
vas then discussed.
Calls it Anarchy.
Wien the governor breaches t5at
kind OF anarchy, are you surprised
,hat man would hide in the dark
1ess and press a pistol to Dr. McIn-
oshs body and shoot him."
The crime, the speaker said, had
seen committed by some poor deluded
ollower Of the governor, who mad
been wrought up by such inffamma-
tory remarks, and who thought that
ne was doing the caief executive a
real service
If the governor should be sent to
the United States senate, the COVER
! r, the speaker said, would neutral
ize the good work that Senator Till
man is doing, and would leave the
State practically without representa-
ton. The governor, he added, could
not and would not work I'M double
harness with anyone.

filled with the same quality of grades
as contracted for, was explained to
an attentive group of farmers, who
qrgely made up the Lexington au-

The new banking and currency law,
particularly the amendment granting
an extension of six months for farm
ers' notes, and providing that farm
products and real estate shall become

Prices for Cotton Higher.
1t was the sett of standardized

The opponents of Senator Smith
were told today that they charged

chey intended to go to the senate ana

price
