TIE M'INTQSH
ITWSCDBED
South Carolina Theatre Packed
By Friends of Both Blease
and Smith.
Columbia, S. C. Stirred by the at
tempted assassasaination of l)r. James
H. Mclntosh, says a special to the At
lanta Journal, over 3.000 people packed
and jammmed the theatre here yester
day to hear the candidates for the Unit
ed States senate. Friends and opponent*
of Governor Blease and Senator Smith
were in attendance in large numbers,
the governor getting ovations from
friends ami hisses form opponents, while
the anti-Blease men cheered Senator
Smith. Mr. Pollock and Mr. Jennigs.
The latter two vpre continually inter
rupted by jeering on the part of the
Blease men. but kept gamely at their
task of excoriating the record of the
governor.
“Thank God the midnight assassin did
not get Dr. Mclntosh," said W. P. Pol
lock. “The gunmen may shoot down
one. but there will be others to take
their places and their fight for the liber
ties of the people and for the law *nd
order will be carried forward," amid a
volum e of cheers from one section of
the house while the Blease men howled
und shouted "frame-up."
D. D. Jennings and \V. P. Pollock were
merciless In their arraignment of Gov
ernor Blease. In his excorioratton of the
pardoning record of the governor M,r.
Jennings exclaimed: "To turn loose 1,-
250 convicts in this state in three years
makes every one lose respect for the
courts.’
Draws Applause.
Referring to the condemnation of Dr.
Eleanor* Saunders, the lady physician at
the Asylum, Mr. Jennings drew applause
from the ladies and cheers from the
men in saying "The like of this case ha*
never been heard of before In a civilized
country.”
Ridiculing the position of the gover
nor on the negro question he said:
“When the governor gets to Washing
ton he will be trying to get all of the
negroes turned out of the federal peni
tentiaries."
In a scathing denunciation of the gov
ernor carried on the face of a constant
roar of disapproval from the Bleasites,
who occupied all of the main seats In
the theatre, Mr. W. P. Pollock said:
"1 have seen banners inscribed,
‘Blease, the working man's friend.’ Yes,
Blease, the friend of the working man
on the chaingang whom he turns loose.
In another statement he said: “You
know Cole Blease couldn’t work in har
ness with Ben Tillman or anybody elne,”
scoring him for lack of harmony with
President Wilson and his denunciation of
the secretary of war and Senator Kern.
He picked the governor's staff to pieces,
saying one J. P. Gibson had run in 1888
on a Republican ticket, which, he said,
had been torn up at Greenville. He cull
ed it the "Hlease-Glbson-yellow-black
negro- Republican ticket.”
"Some one tried to assassinate the
name of a good woman and some one
tried to put Dr. Mclntosh out of the w.*iy
last night. There is a spirit througi
oue the stiite which must be checked.”
"It will lead to anarchy." he exclaim
ed, while the people cheered.
Smith Given Ovation.
An ovation lasting several minutes
was given United States Senator E. D.
Smith, who discussed the legislation
which has been enacted for the farmers
through his influence. In praising Presi
dent Wilson the audience gave the name
of the President prolonged cheering. An
auditor cried "The Republicans helped
elect Wilson,” to which the senator re
plied:
"If they did it is the first dern good
Job they ever did." the audience making
known its approval of the sentiment*.
He said he had been faithful to the
trust imposed in him and that “in spite
of the world, the flesh artd the devil, he
would be re-elected.
When Governor Cole L. Blease came
on tlie stand he was literally loaded
down with flowers and gifts by his
friends. TJttle girls dressed In white
(Tossed the stage each with a profusion
of flowers and presented them to the
governor. A young lady presented him
with a gold-handled umbrella while a
man brought on the stage a loving cun
which he gave to the governor. All of
this time the packed theatre was ringing
with the acclaims of the Blease follow
ers and hisses of opposition.
Getlng to his charges about his ne
gro chauffeur, Harrison Neely, the gov
ernor told of how this negro milked two
cows every morning, cleaned up behind
them and other animals, washed out the
spittoons at the governor’s office, did
other chores. “If there is a white man
in this audience low enough down to
want that negro's Job and $5 a week let
him stand up,” was the invitation of the
governor, but no volunteer* offered
themselves.
“I don’t believe there is a Blease man
low enough to want his Job and If there
was such an anti-Blease man I would
not allow him In my back yard,” he
exclaimed while his followers applauded.
"When the Richey case was taken up
the audience settled back and listened,
for this contained the much discussed
certificates signed by Dr James H. Me.
In tosh, who was last night shot and
wounded as he was returning home, and
the late Dr. A. B. Knowlton. Calling Au
gust Kohn to hold the copy of the cer
tificates given in the Richey case by
Doctors Mclntosh and Knowlton, Gover
nor Blease read the original and In It he
quoted this as the language of the two
doctors In referring to Richev’s com
plaint, as “marked neaurosls, that the
same simulates true paralysis.” He of
fered a reward of 1100 to any man to
prove that the signature on the certifi
cate was not that of Dr. Mclntosh and
I)r. Knowlton
“Unfortunately Dr. Mclntosh is not
here. The man that shot him last night
Is not a friend of Blease's," he sfateo
referring to the attempted assassination
of Dr. Mclntoah as he was returning
home early thla morning Dr. Mclntosh
is lying wounded at Knowlton's Infir
mary. Continuing the governor said
“No Blease man ever did a trick like
♦ hat.”
Of Dr. Mclntosh the governor said
will riot abuse him. He Is a good man. 1
am sorry lie is not here so l could show
him this certificate face to face and ask
him if ho signed it. If he said ves. I
would then ask him to explain his de
nial. If he said he did not sign it. I
would then ask him to co-operate with
me In running down the forger and put
ting him In the penitentiary.*•
Previously he had said that he would
have told Dr. Mclntosh he had been
given the Richey certificates signed by
him and the late Dr. Knowlton by one
of the most prominent lawyers In Ho nth
Carolina. It telng Mr. W. R. Richey of
T.aurens.
“Now,” he exclaimed, “I have an
swered Norwood and all of them and I
*m going to heat them on the 25th of
August.” whll% his followers loudlv
cheered him. lie was presented with
more flowers and fruit, among them
some especially luscious peaches, when I
ha closed.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
QUIT YOURSELF, WRITES
DEPUTY TO GAME
WARDEN
Murray County Man Comes
Back at State Warden Chas.
L. Davis in a Warm Letter.
The following dispatch to The Journal
from Spring Place was printed yester
da v:
Spring Place, Ga. When Charles D.
Davis, state game and fish commission
er, called on W. T. Kenner, game war
den of Murray county, to resign his
commission, he must have been mildly
surprised at the letter he received from
Mr. Kenner In reply, for, instead of
tending his resignation, Mr. Kenner re
spectfully asked Mr. Davis to resign.
There has been some friction between
the two gentlemen, but the exact cause
is not known. Mr. Davis has writeen
a number of letters, asking his deputy
to quit work, all of which Mr. Kenner
threw a way until he received the last
one. This he kept for several days, read
it Thoroughly, and, after digesting it,
made his answer as above stated.
In his letter he refers to the Louis
ville and Nashville railroad, and. putting
two and two together. It appears that he
is under the Impression that his activ
ity in prosecuting certain officials of
the road for an alleged violation of tDo
fish laws is of a pernicious nature.
However, the letter from Mr. Davl*
and Mr. Kenner’s answer make inter
esting reading, and are appended:
"State of Georgia.
‘Department of Game and Fish.’'
“Charles L. Davis. Commissioner.

"Mr. W. T. Kenner, Spring Place, Ga.
"Dear Sir: For reasons, which in my
judgment are sufficient, 1 again request
that you forward your relsgn&tlon as

trust that you will comply with this re
quest.
"If, however, you do not see fit to do
so. I wish to state that for reasons
which will further the good of the serv
ice. your conectlon with this department
will be severed. Please let me have a
prompt reply, and oblige.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims
Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing ami purifying action upon the
lswer bowels, removing the obstructions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption bv the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas-,
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intrstinal troubles of years'
standing by litis treatment, and so suc
cessful was the remedy he devised that
It has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
•old thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the ef

The Emergency Value of Big Organization
\A/HEN a real catastrophe happens to a telephone system;
when a fire destroys an exchange and the terminal appa
ratus, or a storm lays low the pole lines, the value of a big or
ganization is quickly shown.
When a conflagration swept the city of Chelsea, Mass., it
burned the Bell Telephone exchange and destroyed the tele
phone equipment.
The next day a temporary central station was established,
amid the ruins, and the service restored.
™j lar Promptness telephone service was re-estab
lished in Baltimore, San Francisco and Bangor, and after the
more recent disasters in the Middle West.
To meet great emergencies, complete switchboards and ap
paratus valued at over SIOO,OOO are kept at Chicago and
New York, crated and ready for shipment whenever the call
for help comes from any part of the organization.
