absolutely necessary to prevent anoth-

When the speaker concluded his
discussion of the State convention
that framed the primary rules there
was a shout "Hurrah for the State
convention.
After Others Records.
Then the speaker took up the rec
ords of his opponents. Il have no
public record" the speaker said.
And amt you glad Of it," came
back from the crowd. Senator Smiths
record, Mr.. Jennings claimed, was on
| ly cotton"
"oh, no." some one answered, that
won't CO.
1T consists mainly in a few resolu-
tions offered in congress" the speak
er went on, Ito investigate Hayne
and others to prevent gambling in
cotton futures"
This criticism was keenly relished,
and calls of That's right and Tell
/ it to them, jennings" followed in
20 NJ cuoroecion
Nothing the speaker said about the
governor ELECTED more applause than
when he said: "The governor says
he's proud of his record. Then he
should at least be proud of me, for I
expect to help him to exhibit that
record on every stump in South Car
olina." When Mr.. Jennings was de-
crying the idea of petitions signed
by the juries, somebody said the
"jurymen have just found out that
they are mistaken" The speakers re-
ply was, "Then all these $4,000 jury
men must have been awfully ignor-
ant" This was followed by much
cheering, and an adherent Of the gov
ernor, sitting on the edge Of the plat
form, kept repeating GO to it, Jen-
nings; if 1 don't vote for Blease I'll
vote for you."
Mr.. Pollock urged the voters, when
the time for making selection came,
not to measure him around the waist,
but around the hatband. He also
reminded Bamberg citizens that he
had behind him no political machine.
81 have done nothing for you," he
continued. Il have neither appointed
any of you to Office, nor have l grant
ed any of you pardons." He only
asked for the votes of the ugly men.
Then you'll sure be elected" some
one answered.
Eyes, and I'll get your vote" the
speaker called back.
What are you going to do with
Blease," another asked.
"I'll get to that presently" Mr.. Pol
lock shot back, and someone in an

the information, nothing, can an
swer that"
The speaker then discussed the
Walterboro speech Of the governor,
and pronounced some practices of the
governor when paralleled with the
principles as set forth in this speech
as "the most monumental of jokes"
The two to which he gave particular
attention were the enforcement OF
the law in conformity with the ver-
dict of the courts of the law and trial
by. jury.
Honor Roll Rouses Mirth.
No stu..l that any candidate has
pulled off" during the campaign has
created more genuine merriment
than the reading of Mr.. Pollock's
honor roll" of "furriners," taken
from certain club lists in Charleston.
The speakers pronunciation of these
rhythmical names, in strictly polish

which it has been tried. When this
had been read Saturday the speaker
asked: do you want those people,
who cant speak word of English,
and who are voted by corrupt politi-
clans as dumb driven cattle, to gov
ern South Carolina?"
When the chorus of Nos" had
