tack the speaker, but policemen in

made mention OF the fact that at

Claims to Be Confident.
During the lsat three days the gov
ernor has been in the Pee Dee sec
! ton From reports in this territory
he said he hat, more reason than ever
to believe that on August 25 he would
receive majority vote of the white
people of South Carolina
The governor received several
punches of flowers While he was
kissing the little girl that presented
one, an enthusiastic supporter re-
peatedly called for hand primary.
If the governor heard this, he took no
notice of it.
Mr.. Jennings, who was the next
coool-or e,;,J +bo+ or o1ac+;oo dow
"the governor and his friends will
! have to vote according to the new
primary rules, whether they sign the
rolls in a shyscraper or in a back
yard, and they can't help it. This
statement was made in answer to the
governors charge that one set of the
registration books had been placed in
The State company's Office. This
speaker also recalled the leap in elec-
! ton returns from 100000 in 1910 to
100000 in 1912. 1This," ne said,
"was enough circumstantial evidence
to turn negro out of the peniten-
tiary"
After delving assiduously into the
: governors pardon record, Mr.. Jen-
nings prophesied that the governor
would be retired to private life on
August %. "If l am any judge OF
the quiet, not of the loudmouthed,
nowling, Cole. L. Blease will be re-
tired beyond the possibility of resur-

years from now some of these loud
mouthed here today if they applauded
the governor Of the State, when he
Dragged that he had pardoned 1900
and you cant help it, that man
will either deny it or hang his head
iii shame

The mayor of Sumter also cited the
case of Max Stokes Of Orangeburg.
He was convicted of violating the
dispensary law, and was fined $3.50"

dicted on a similar charge, and fled
the country. Convicted in his ab
sence, a sealed verdict was held
against him. Later when he returned
and gave bond, and appealed to a
higher court, he was pardoned while
the appeal was pending. This Max
Stokes is the same man that on cleo
ton day two years ago used his auto
mobile in hauling voters to the pc4ls."
This was met with a chorus of -
proval, some saying. Every word Of
that's true" and others, LAY it on,
Jennings, we know it hurts
The Baruwell crowd was prepared
for the attack which Mr. Pollock has
been making for the last few days on
the governor. He mad hardly begun
before some one, in disapproval, ask
ed, what is your text?' The Chers~
man, who always appears at an al
vantage under fire, quickly responded,
"See the 17th chapter of l Samuel,
and read the whole of the chapter. 1t
describes the struggle between David
and Goliath. B4ls., with mis- poiit-
ical machine, claims to be a great
Goliath. What E2v:d Gid ior Goliath
I hope, by the grace oc 500. tc Go for
Cole. Blease on .4ugust 23. Now that's
my text, and hope it svahs ins 1h:s
was greeted with prolonged applause,
and the questioner did not interrupt
again This speaker, also defended
