500 voters attended the senatorial
meeting here today. Though, Intense
ly noisy. there were no particular fea-
lures, barring the spirited demonstra-
ton for the governor, and the most
cordial reception which w. P. Pollock
received. :,
When the governor had finished
speaking. he left the stand, as is his
daily custom. AS he stepped to the
ground the chief executive was picked
up and lifted to the shoulders of swell
tering. shouting and excited pertisans
and borne away In triumph. About
one-fourth Of the audience left with
him.
Senator Smith was the first speaker.
Only thirty minutes of his allotted
time was consumed. He then left i'm
mediately for Columbia in an auto.
He made his usual speech, dealing
largely with his efforts to create q
better market for cotton.
In answering the charge that a
large portion OF Congressman Lovers
bill had been embodied in and substi-
tuted for the Smith measure to curb
cotton exchanges, Senator Smith said
that he had started tho work. He IL
lustrated the point by telling tho joke

Mr.. Pollock. in referring to the train
OF trumpeters that. bore the governor

much cheering.

DR.. Mcintosh and which may be fired
at me will not deter me from giving
the people this" Mr.. Pollock explain

the reign OF lawlessness which is
spreading over Soath Carolina, and
which Is making the state a stencil in
the noses of decent people, shall be
stayed.
