| The Meeting at Rock Hill.
There was a tremendous crowd of
people at Rock Hill, Wednesday night,
TO hear Governor Blease. The gov
ernor was introduced by Mr. G. p.
smith, and was received with enthu-
siastic applause, but shortly after he
| had launched into scathing de-
nunciation of the enrolment regula-
tions of the recent state convention,
q heavy rain came up and broke up
| the meeting.
Bitten BY Mad Dog.
Messrs r. r. and Leslie Nc
Corkle Of Yorkville No. 6, were bitten
on the hand last Wednesday, by
bird pup, which belonged to them.
Little attention was paid to the bite
at the time, but few days after
ward, the dog began to act strange,
| and finally died. Thinking possibly
the dog was suffering from rabies,
Messrs. McCorkle sent the dogs head
to the state authorities and mes
sage received Wednesday, was to the
effect that the canine had hydropho-
bia. Although neither of the gentle
men who were bitten have felt any
evil results, they are taking treatment
in order to be on the safe side.
Speaking Last Night.
After the speaking in Yorkville yes
terday, Governor Blease was taken in
charge by a committee Of friends, who
carried him to Glover, with the un-
derstanding that after he had address
ed an audience there, he would be
taken to Gaffney, where he had still
another engagement He had made
| a previous appointment to speak at
Glover, and Gaffney people had made
an appointment and advertised him to
speak at Gaffney without having con-
suited him in advance. The situation
was one that required a long, hard
ride to fill. Messrs. Smith, Pollock
and Jennings were taken in charge by
a Rock Hill committee, after the
speaking in Yorkville, and spoke in
Rock HILL last night.
Would Take No Risks.
Upon his arrival from Rock Hill,
yesterday morning, Governor Blease
came to The Enquirer office to give
instructions about the shipping out Of
copies of his st. Matthews speech,
which is still in press. A man who Is
with him in the capacity of general
assistant, came in and asked for or
ders. The governor said: This is the
place where they put up that bottle
job on me two years ago. Go down
to the hotel, see what room they have
assigned me. Look 1t over good, and
If there are any bottles in II, have
them taken out. Then have my grips
sent up. If anybody comes about
there to take drink, tell them to
kindly go elsewhere. l don't want
any whisky or beer myself, and l don't
want anybody to have any around
me-"
