Pol lock, that the executive with regents of the slate hospital tor the insane! appointed by him, had attempted to j discredit Dr. Kleanora Saunders, for-1 merly a physician at the asylum una ; i that her treatment by the governor | and sis appointee* drove Dr. Maun- . tiers and Dr. Babcock, the superinten dent, from the service of the institu- j tlon. The governor reiterated his policy of silence, again declaring that he i stood on bia own record, and had neither apology nor explanation 01 any olflcial act or word of his since occupying the gubernatorial chair. Thin, however, did not deter Jennings! und Pollock from again presenting the record In the Saunders ease as con i tained In the report of thp legislative I Investigating committee, which ex-1 onerated Dr. Maunder*. Dr Saunders | and Dr.- Babcock resigned after the investigation was completed und the retort made. * Lancaster Is the home of Dr. T. J.

His speech lacked much of he fire of former utterances during the iara lialgri. lie again attacked the new , primary rules, desiring the personal enrollment feature was for the pur pose of cutting down his vote anti that many men who had followed Lea and Jackson couldn't write their names and must go before some little cigarette sucking clerk and have service performed for them. T. i>. Jennings said he would show that Blease Is unfit for the United States senate, that lie had tried to run and wus at loggerheads with every other department of the state government and that he had signed i more pardons than any other gov ernor South Carolina ever hud. "Was It because of a tender heart?" ! somebody asked. "No, not n tender heart, but to please political henchmen of his," Jennings replied. Jenuings suggested that Governor Blouse, instead ol going back to Newberry i > a livery stable, go to Charleston and “form a partnership with Janie i Hottiie and he'll be in a | better business." W. I’. Pollock declared that the new I rules were made to prevent "dagoes and oilier scum from southern Eu rope, who only come hero for a short while, from toting." He again read tlie list of foreigners troin -Vain Eight, club two. Charleston, saying "these are the kind of people led to the polls by Vincent Chlcco and Jim Sottile to kill your vote and mine," and "the kind of men Blease la try- I lug to Hue you up with." Jim Crow Law. “How about the Jim Crow law?" some one asked. Pollock replied by say ng he knew of no separate couch In'reduced by Blease while a member of ttin legislature, nor had lie heard of any special support given by the governor to such a bill.
