the man who has turned loose nine
hundred negroes on the State.
Back to NeWberry.
After January Blease will go back
to Newberry to curry horses and l
hope he viii give ali Of his special
Bleaseite friends a job there ex-
claimed the speaker, bringing cheers.
He then mentioned several pardon
cases, the Emerson parole, in Ander-
sn, saying c. the case Of getting pc
titions signed most anybody can get
petitions signed and possibly some Of
tie signatures are put to them like
they got DR.. McIntosh's on another
When he finished with his recital Of
the Emerson case Mr. Jennings asked
the Bleaseites how they liked it? "All
right" came in a roar from the gov
ernor's supporters, and the Sumter
man said eff the brains of those who
holler for Blease after hearing that
record was put in a red bugs stomach
there would still be room there for
more"
After his lambasting of the gov
ernor on his pardon record Mr.. Jen-
nings severely arraigned him for his
actions in the Dr.. Eleanora B. Saun-
ders case, telling the governors fol-
lowers "To take this thing home with
you and ask yourselves if you would
like to have such letters written about
your daughter as the governor wrote
about DR.. Saunders.
81 don't believe there is man in
this audience with white skins
though his heart be as black as hell,
will noller for Blease after hearing
the record in this case," said Mr.. Jen-
nings, going on to. say the Saunders
trial was worse than that of Christ
before Plate. He closed with the pre-
diction that "Bleaseism will be wiped
off the map on August @5," getting
much cheers mingled with cries Of
"Hurrah for Blease."
w. P. Pollock Speaks.
Received with cheers, w. P. Pollock
told of mis- entering the fight to stop
| lawlessness and enthrone order
! in South Carolina, citing his service
in the general assembly and as presi-
Dental elector in voting for William
j. Bryan for president. He said he
could guarantee that Mr.. Jennings and
Smith would live up to their pledges,
but 81 can't say as much for Blease,
for when you people nominated him
along with man for master here he
violated mis- oath and appointed Oliver
as master over another man WHO had
Won over two opponents" this caus-
ing the audience to cheer Mr.. Pollock.
He praise President Wilson and said
Governor Blease was antagonistic to
the national administration, was crit
| icising the national leaders, opposing
Senator Tillman and "out of joint with
everything but his own magnifed
ego He told the Blease men that
|'the scales were falling from their
eyes" and to those who were cheer
ing, "Hurrah for Blease," Mr.. Pollock
said. 'tD3n't cheer, boys, the poor
devil is dying" which the ants lus-
tily applauded.
What About Haskell?
What about Haskell?" asked an au-
ditor. Haskell is so much Better than
Cole Blease l hate to mention them in
the same BREATH he replied. He read
the "furriner" list of Charleston amid
roars of laughter.
They may have thought they would
close Dr.. McIntosn's mouth by ana
sassin's bullet, but ne was saved to
deny he signed the Richey certificate,
exclaimed the CheraN man, saying the
truth could not be kept from the peo-
pie. He again referred to the demon
strations for Governor Blease at
SaIuda and elsewhere as funeral pro-
cessions. "Blease has pardoned every
crime in the decalogue," began Mr..
Pollock in MS merciless arraignment
of Governor Blease. Its treading on
dangerous ground he continued, "of
granting pardons OH petitions, saying
it was a menace to tie poor. man as a
rich malefactor could easily enough
get signatures for his pardon when me
kills poor man. He told the crowd
