BLEASE FIRES FIRST GUN
In Opening His Senatorial Campaign
at Manning.

Manning, March 31.-By special
Invitation Ex-Governor Cole l..
Blease opened his campaign for Uni
ted States Senator here Saturday.
About a thousand people turned out
to hear him, the crowd including
considerable number of negroes. He
was introduced by Representative J.
H. Lesesne and spoke from the porch
Of the court house. His speech was
read, principally, from typewriter
copy. The address was largely in de-
runciation Of Governor Manning,
who he referred to as king Richard
the First" and "your so-called Gov
'ernor." He also attacked the ex-
travagance of the Legislature, saying
that If his hearers could go up to
Columbia and see the number OF Of
ficers who work no more than an
hour a day some Of the church men
woud exclaim, my Lord!" But most
men would say "I'll be damned!"
He stated that the speeches he
had delivered last year at Pomaria,
Chaplin and other places had been
grossly misrepresented by the news
papers: He said he did announce
that had he been a member OF Con-
gress he would have voted against
going to war with Germany, but since
we are in it, he favored fighting it
out to victory. He said he had Of

and loyal men as ever shouldered
guns, provided they were allowed to
choose their own officers, and that he
was ready to give his own service,
either as officer or private, as he had
already freely given Of his means. He
said that while others In Columbia
who proclaim their patriotism had
sold land to the government at high
prices, he had given '43 acres for a
rifle range free Of price. He said
that, although he opposed the nomi-
nation Of Wilson for President, pre-
ferring another ma a, The would stand
behind the President in the Senate,
but recalled that President Cleye-
land never had more bitter enemy
than Senator Tillman
Scoring the Legislature for extrav-
agance, he said"that several thousand
dollars had been voted for law
building at the University for ten or
twelve boys to learn law when they
could learn much better at home in
some good lawyers office. Ee also
condemned the building of a new
home for the .feeble-minded, but said
If 1t Is occupied the first occupants
should be members Of the Legisla-
ture.
He said the newspapers had pub.
lished that he had said in a speech,
"To hell with the constitution" but
had been unwilling to print all he
said. At the time man in the au-
dience asked IL he had not taken an
oath to support the constitution,
when he replied, eyes, but If the con-.
stitution stands in the way Of punish-
ing assault on womanhood then he
said to hell with the constitution.

The Easter Egg Hunt,

which was held on Saturday last for
the benefit Of the Red Cross was a
marked success. The sum Of $S.40
was cleared.
The Walhalla Chapter wishes to
thank the Keowee Circle for their
liberal donation Of eggs. These eggs
were intended for dinner which tho
Walhalia Red Cross Chapter hoped
to be able to have, but it was found
impracticable at this time, and the
eggs were utilized for the hunt.

THE KIND Of AMAN WHO IS DIRECTING
THE ALLIES GREAT OFFENSIVE

The following story is going the
rounds OF the newspapers in Italy:
The Italians influenced by devil
made rumors-were still retreating
before their German-Austrian "kam-
Grads"
The British and French troops
poured into Italy, commanded by
Foch.
At once the Italians began to make
some sort Of a stand.
An Italian boy soldier, loaded
down with heavy bag OF supplies,
was climbing steep path. No horse
or automobile could make II; every
thing must go on mems backs.
