A Late Slander.
Governor Blease denounced Ill
strong terms an advertisement which
had been circulated in Greenville'
CT unity against him to the effect that
the mill presidents and camp fol-
lowers fought Manning in the mrs.
primary and are still fighting him oe-
cause Manning refused to order the
militia out to shoot down the striking
workers at Brogon mills, and that
Manning refused to veto the docking
law and that Blease would have veto
ed these laws, and if elected Woui1
lave them repealed" This was the
substance of the advertisement.
Mr.. Blease cited the record OF Man.
ming against these measures when Ne
ras member of the general assem-
bly, saying that Manning had simply
signed them when he knew that a veto
hy him would be overridden, and clse1
II. own record as friend OF ths
!; boring people, and said that tnoSc
present would know what kind OF d
dirtv liar and 'Fother things" the au'
thor of this circular was.
The thousands who were eagerly
waiting for every word which ne saia'
ve,,ed their knowledge that the cir
cular was a lie and that they kne"
please was their real friend and that
they were going to make him the next
governor 1t took thirty minutes Tor
governor Blease to make his way
through the crowd to catch his Waltlns
automobile for Laurens, where NJ
was scheduled for another speech at
6 o'clock in the afternoon.
Men and women crowded around
him SO that it was feared the pavilion
would give way under the strain
Coming down to Laurens, he stopped
a. Fountain Inn, and delivered an ac
dress of fifteen minutes. He was given
. cordial reception along the road, al
though his coming was unheralde- en-
ceut in the places where he was
scheduled for speeches.
Breaks Record.
There were some 500 people gather
ed at the little village OF Fountain Inn
to stop him on his way to Laurens'
When he reached Laurens tonight ne
found that in order for him to meet
the demand here he would have to oe-
liver two addresses and he spoke to
a big crowd in front of the court
house and to another big crowd at the
iWAtts mill.
Governor Blease left here tonight for
Columbia. He has addressed more
people today than have ever been
spoken to by any one man in the his
tory Of the state in single day.
The Piedmont is solidly with him.
