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.

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.
