CASE AFTER CASE
Plenty More Like This in Manning

Scores of Manning people can tell
you about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many
a happy citizen makes public state
ment of his experience. Here is case
of it. What better proof Of merit can
be had than such endorsement
James F.. Reardon, machinist, Man
ming, gave the following statement
January 80, 1911: "Some years ago
| used Doan's Kidney Pills and found
them a valuable remedy At that time
my kidneys were giving me consid-
cradle trouble. I had backaches and
pains across my loins. I used Doan's
Kidney Pills and they gave me prompt
and lasting relief"
AFTER A LAPSE OF SEVEN
SEVEN YEARS, Mr.. Reardon said:
You can still use the statement which
! gave some time ago praising Doan's
Kidney Pills. Doan's certainly is a
good remedy for all kinds Of kidney
trouble"
Price 60c, at al dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy--get

that / am little too harsh in my
language, but l hope you will pardon
me when I say this: ANY man who
says that Cole l.. Blease has ever ut
tered one word or done one act against
his country is a CANNED contemplate
mar, aud any man WHO says that any
cf my friends has said or done dis
loyal acts against my country is the
same" Cole L. Blease said he did not
propose to say one word about Senator
Tillnan, but he was going to write
him 70 designate some place that he
would meet ni'n n debate during the
campaign, and If he does he would say
certain things Il out him that have not
yet teen said, and if he refuses 20
reet hlm he WI say them anyway
Wa !e Hampton vas pu ,'ut because
he interfvrou with state politics. They

vote for Tilln:an, but that is not true

he should be ruled OUT Of the party

Inavc said that at the time ~. ,pta
was taken on the war with the lights
before me would have voted against
it, and there is no use to be harping
on that because ] admit it. But they
| tell you / would have no influence in
Washington. Don't let that worry
you. / wouldn't be there long before
i they would want me, because when |
go to do anything try to do it and
they know ! am good fighter and

If l had been in Washington when
the war bills were up l would have
endeaVored to make the corporations
pay taxes. VINO pays the war tax?
When you send telegram you pay
the tax. Same when you buy railroad
tickets. ] would have endeavorcd to
keep the government contractors from
interfering with the labor as they
have by paying such big prices for
common labor.
Cole l.. Blease said there was one
thing that he read in the paper that
amused him, when one Of the gentle
men who rushed in the race spoke Of
having run him off the stump, and
now that gentleman is not on the
stump himself.
AS he concluded he was given much
applause and many waited to shake
his hahd. 1t appears to this reporter
that it was Blease meeting

cation. Yet, because / was opposed to
this country going into the war must
be branded traitor in my country.
Right down deep in their hearts 80
per cent of the people we're opposed
to this war. But when our country
went into the war and said we would
have war to the hilt, was with my
country, and today 80 per cent of the
boys in the war are from the Reform
party.
We have done our duty in buying
bonds, war savings stamps and the
Red Cross, as we'll as furnishing the
bouys. He said he had bought $2,65O
IN Liberty bond, $1,000 in war saw
mgS stamps, and contributed to the
Red Cross. (Applause.)
He had also done much for the SOL
'diers stationed at Camp Jackson who
frequently came to his office for adj
vice. He said he happened to have
a small tract of land near the camp
that the government needed, and when.
they came to him about it, he said, if
you need it, take it, and not cent
will | receive. (Applause). But they
say that would disorganize The army
and disturb the morale Of the men. It
is done for purpose and to niislead
the people.
At Filbert l was repeating nv Po-
maria speech and the young man who
was reporting it was not a stenor-
rapher and could not get it all, and /
do not blame him, but they take part
of it and try to make it appear thai ]
am not loyal. Nobody believed that
said unqualifiedly that / did not
care what sort of America we had af-
ter am gone. If he does / DO not
want his vote. Here is what / sad:
i, at Fllbert, was repeating my Po-
maria speech in which / had said tnat
believed that President Wilson and
the members of congress Who voted
for this war would be hcid reg,or,siDle
for every American life that was lost
IN 1T, and if my soul is to be lost did
not care what sort of an America hey
had after l was dead and gone, and
neither does your boy The young
man who was reporting Lhat. spec ch
got part of what | said and got il cor
rectly, but he did not taks all Oi nv
speech, and no sensible man could e%-
pect him to take it, ana when those
who for malicious purpose took his
partial report to condemn n7a they lied
and they knew they lied.
Unfair Newspapers
TO show the unfailness with Hhich
some newspapers treat him, Cole
Bleasc referred to a speech which ne
made few days ago and in which he
said: 81 do not wish for anything nut
the greatest success for tha Aneri-
can army in France When the report
was published the mot was lett out
and the sentence read: II do wish for
anything but the greatest success Of
the American army in France" Quite
q difference.
At Filbert I asked everyone who
agreed with me to hold u phis hand
and every hand went up. Surely the
good people of Filbert and York
would not be accused Of endorsing the
statement that they did not care what
sort of America there was after they
were gone.
Garbled Report
They used this garbled report 20
condemn me at the State Council OF
Defense. l have told them what !

am not loyal. Some Of yo.1 may say

.BlEASE RFAFFlRNS
HIS LOYALTY

York, June 20.-Chairman Marion
presented Cole L. Biease, who came
forward amid an outburst of applause
and stated that he would not speak
with watch held over him with time
limit, but if any wanted to hear him
and would remain he would make a
speech when the meeting was adj
journed. The meeting adjourned.
Before Cole Blease had spoken
many minutes the courthouse was
practically filled, some $50 to 500 peo-
pie being present before he concluded.
He 'recited that he had served his
county as representative and senator
and his state as governor and that he
was entitled to square deal He was
a member of the legislature in his
young manhood and before he was 22
years old had presided over the house.
When he went to the senate he was
elected president pro tenn to succeed
that good man, Governor Mauldin,
when he had been in the senate only
two years. He said he had affidavits
and letters in his possession which
proved that there was fraud sin the
election for governor cwo years ago
read from the State newspaper that
these affidavits and letters were pre-
sented to the state committee by Mr.
Richey, who was member from
Laurens, and the committee refused
to consider them and declared Man
ming governor.
Different in 1912
Not so in 1912 when charges were
made by Judge Jones. The election
was held up and Investigations start
ed.
He mentioned this because of the
editorials appearing every day now in
the State about the evidence of fraud
not being submitted to thc'committee
and therefore the charge of fraud was
groundless, the State claims, when as
matter Of record from it's own files
the evidence was in the hands of
members of the committee and the
member so state, but the committee
would not take notice. The State must
have poor memory or is simply lying.
No Apology
He said he was opposed to this war
and had so stated in several speeches
and had no apology to make for any
speech he had ever. made. When this
war is ended and the people come to
realize the suffering it has caused and
the labor conditions and all the other
horrors then will it be time to decide
who was right. He asked if it was a
great crime to be in accord with Jesus
Christ and the doctrine Of peace on
earth, good will to men. He cited
Robert f. Lee as being opposed to Sc
cesslon and yet no man in all history
has been honored as he has been and
when his state seeded he went with
1T, though he was opposed to the war.
Wade Hampton was opposed to Sc
cession, yet when war was declared
he drew his sword and there was no
more. valiant soldier. And Alexander
Stevens who became vice president of
the Confederacy. And just the other
day they named law school at the
university for James L. Pettigru, who
was opposed to secession and nullifi-
