The Howling Down of Jen-
nings.

Out Of the forty-one counties VS.
tied bv the Senatorial candidates,
up to last week, our neighbor c"un-
tv, Georgetown. has the menviah!e
distinction of being the only one
where free speech was throttied, hos
pitalitv outraged and Il Democratic
candidate in a Democratic State
hDwled down. And the most fla
grant feature of the miserable affair
is that, according to current report,
the bowling down was directly IN
srigated by Yankee, creature OF
the biggest lumber corporation in
the South, who happens to be the
Mayor of Georgetown and who sat
o, the stand, his face wreathed with
smiles" while Mr. l. d Jennings
was trying to present his argument.
The Chief of Police sat beside the
Mayor and one word from the lat
ter would have quelled the distur-
bance, but his honor, the Mayor, it
is said, apparently enjoyed the
"heckling."
Now, Mr. l. D Jennings is Mayor
Of Sumter, where the candidates for
Senator hold the last meeting OF the
campaign. Sumter is likewise the
home of Richard |. Manning, can
didate for Governor and Sumter 8
favorite son." also an out-spoken
anti-Bleaseite. Suppose these two
Sumter candidates should follow
Mayor Andrews tactics and not al
low Blease to speak at Sumter? Many
would think such reprisal justitia-
bic, but they are not that kind. In
fact, even in the midst of his heck
ling" at Georgetown, Mayor Jen-
nings assured the bowling heelers
that Blease would have respectful
hearing at Sumter if it took all the
resources of the city to assure it.
Say, Mr. Voter, which of these
men would you choose-Governor
Blease, who looked on and tacltly
approved of the suppression OF free
speech, or Mayor Jennings, who, in
the face Of his brutal reception at
Georgetown, guarantees the Govern
or a respectful hearing in the town
of which he is the chief official?

taking them away, so they couldn't
hear their favorite's record discuss
ed.
Where is Cole L Blease?" shout
ed the speaker, adding that the Goy-
ernor was not only feather-legged,
but "gun.shy and can't stand shot, "
referring to the Governors daily de-
parture from the meeting as soon as
he had finished his speech. Contin-
uing, Mr. Pollock declared the Gov
ernor was even trying to make cow
ards out of his supporters by taking
them away with him.
MIR Pollock, in making brief refer
ence to the appointment on the Gov
ernor's staff of Col Edwin L Hirsch,
said he would not have referred to the
matter at all, on account of recent
bereavement in Col Hirsch's family,
had not the Governor, in his speech,
stated that he (the GOVERNOR always
talked to a mans face and not be-
hind his back, thereby insinuating,
said Mr. Pollock, that he Pollock
would be afraid to make his usual
reference to Mr. Hirsch's appoint
ment in the lat.er's presence. MIR
Hirsch was on the stand.
The speaker displayed the old
calico-back" Republican ticket and
said he had long wondered why
Blease and his followers had chosen
red as their emblem, and that he had
discovered the reason. He said red
was the color of Socialism, An
chism. Nihilism and Bleaseism, that
the old calico ticket was printed in
red.
Mr. Pollock said that while the
Governor had denounced certain To-
cal corporation officials, he had failed
to tell the crowd that when a MEM
Der of the Legislature the Governor
was also attorney for the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens railroad;
that one of the Governors strongest
supporters is Mayor W H Andrews
Of Georgetown, manager of probably
the biggest lumber corporation in
the country, and. who. with poor
little Olin Sawyer, said the speaker,
went clear from Georgetown to
Spartanburg to "whoop 'em up for
Blease."
Mr. Pollock read the list of the
"furriners' enrolled in Charleston
and closed his address by reading
the parody on Mother Goose's"
historic poem, "Old King Cole, I"
which elected much laughter and
applause. Following is Mr. Pollock's
version of the poem:

And jolly old soul was ne:

County Authorities Say RockefeI-

CLEVELAND, Feb. THE five

the County Tax Commissioners to re-
turn for taxation his personal prop
erty, valued at from S600,000,000 to
5000, 900, 900, expires to-day.
The Tax Commissioners delivered
their ultimatum to the oil master
when they dashed through the gates
of his Forest Hill estate in county
automobile and sped up to the door
last Monday morning.
They were denied admittance to
Mr. Rockefellers presence, but they
left with his secretary a tax return
blank and letter calling his atten
ton to the law which, they say,
makes him a resident of Cleveland
for purposes of taxation.
Close friends of Mr.. Rockefeller
admitted that he had left the city for
Tarrytown, n. Y, last night.
The Tax Commissioners said to-
day that his leaving the city will
have little effect upon their action.
