You will never find the white fly

GHARGE BLEASE
G.O.P.TENDENCT
At Dillon Joint Speaking £ll
Candidates Received Liberal
Amount of Applause.
Dillon, 8. C.—Dillon County gave an
audience of probably 1,200 to hear the
candidates for the United States
senate speak here Wednesday, says a
special to the Xtlanti Constitution.
The volume of applause was decid
edly against Governor Blease, al
thought one of the latter’s leaders
claimed the crowd for the executive.
Very few followed the governor, who
spoke first, from the meeting, so if
it was a Blease crowd, several hun
dred Bleasites remained and applaud
ed to the echo the attacks made upon
their champion by L. D. Jennings and
W. F. Pollock, and also joined In a
veritable ovation for Senator Ed.
Smith. Dillon County gave BNease a
majority of less than twenty In 1912.
The antl-Bleaseites are claiming it
this year hy a substantial margin.
The speeches here of Smith, Jen
nings and Pollock were among the
best these candidates have made,
while Blease did not appear to be in
his best form.
The governor took a shot at the cot
ton conference, ridiculing the Idea of
Lewis Parker, “head of the cotton
mill trust," trying to keep the price of
cotton up. He said one reason why
he dislikes the Job of United States
senator Is that a senator can't pardon
anybody, and that he would not be of
as much service to his friends as now.
Blease declared he would carry not
only Smith's home county, Lee, but
also the senator's club.
L. D. Jennings declared that Blease's
antagonistic attitude toward the na
tional administration shows “the
leaning of the man toward Republi
canism.”
During a caustic attack on the. gov
ernor's record Jennings said he be
lieved even the devil would hand his
head in shame at the record Blease
says he is proud of. He declared that
If anyone could disprove a single
statement he has made about the gov
ernor's record he woudl quit the race,
take off my coat and work for Cole
L. Blease.”
W. P. Pollock said that although
Blease was claiming cerdlt for the In
crease In taxable values In Soutn Car
olina during his administration the
people had accomplished this while
the governor "was in Columbia mix
ed up with race track gamblers and
blind tigers, getting his money from
God knows w here.”
He declared the record of Blease,
should be "damned hy all law-abiding
citizen,” for the governor's alleged
failure to enforce the laws.
Senator Ed Smith spoke last. He
told about the cotton conference and
the likelihood of the federal govern
ment sending money to the South to
prevent a sacrifice of the cotton crop
In the present crisis, saying that he
would, If necessary, quit the campaign
go to Washington and fight for the
farmer in this as in past emergencies,
that whether re-elected or not, noth
ing could keep him from continuing
his efforts for the man who feeds and
clothes the world. The senator declar
ed that ‘‘like Governor Blease, I am
proud of my record, but I thank God 1
it Isn't like him." Some one in the
crowd audibly remarked, "You'd be in
a bad fix if it was."

Appreciation of Courtesies j

FIRST TRAIN LEAVES
7 P. M. Next at 7:301
Official Order Requires Men to
Leave Camp in Thoroughly
Sanitary Condiiton.
■*
After a pleasant and profitable stay
of ten days In camp at Aumond, near
the city, the Second Regiment of North
Carolina's National guard broke camp
early this morning and late this af
ternoon will be leaving Augusta, home
ward bound.
T}ie tents came down this morning
and during the day they, with the
soldiers’ baggage and equipment, were
brought to the city on flat cars of
the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Elec
tric Corporation. Early this morning
the baggage cars were lined up on the
railway siding at Steedley's Crossing
waiting for the reception of the lug
gage and equipment to leave this af
ternoon.
At Union Station.
For an hour or so before train leav
ing time, the soldiers will begin to
congregate in front of the union sta
tion, just as the Georgia soldiers did.
The men will go via the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway to their respective
homes in North Carolina, the first
section of the train leaving, according
to schedule, at 7 o’clock this after
noon. The tentage along with Com
panies B. D, E, H, and the regimen
tal band of 27 men, will go on thi3
section. The second section of the
train, carrying Companies G L, M, F,
I, K. C, and A.
Cavalry Train.
The cavalry consisting of two
troops, A. from Lincolnton, and B,
from Asheville, will leave over the
Southern Railway for their respective
homes at 6 o'clock this afternoon, ar
riving at Asheville at 7 o'clock Friday
morning. The train will consist of
four first class passenger cars and
six palace horse cars.
Every company of the regiment and
doubtless every man In every com
pany has thoroughly enjoyed the en
campment and as far as Augusta is
concerned there is surely not a one
of them but who will leave Augusta
charmed with the town and Its people.
They said so through a delegation
from the regiment consisting of Capt.
J. H. Manning, Lieut's. W. P. Moore,
J. F. White. W. B. Ray, E. H. Bell
and L. B. Knight and Sergt. E. L.
Lovell and Corp. Frasier David.
Expressions of Appreciation.
Their expressions of regret at leav
ing Augusta and appreciation of the
pleasure they have had on this trip
were made for the above delegates
by Captain Manning, who said:
"The National Guard of North Caro
lina wants to express its deep appreci
ation to the people of Augusta, to tjie
city of Augusta, for the courtesies
shown us. We have enjoyed our stay
here greatly, and we shall always re
member Augusta as one of the most
pleasant places We have ever been in.
In tl.e two serenades tonight it is our
purpose, through them, to convey our
sentiment to those who we are sere
nading and to the city and its people
as a whole. We especially want to
convey our appreciation to the Com
mercial Club, the Lakeside Club and
to you folks. You have, all of you
Augustana, seemed’ to try to make us
feel wholly welcome in your city—
and you have succeeded fully.”
The last parade given at Augusta's
1914 encampment was put on hy the
North Carolina regiment—their last
here, too—yesterday afternoon In the
presence of a good sized crowd from
the city. It was the regular batal-
Uon parade and was given at 5 o’clock.
The parade was followed by review.
Parade Y**t*rday Afternoon
Between 8 and 7:30 o'clock yester
day afternoon the cars from Camp
Wheeler were packed and Jammed
with the soldiers coming into the city,
with their pay envelopes just open.
It took nearly three hours for Major
Glrrard to pay all the men off short
ly after the noon hour yesterday. Last
night there was just as much peace
at camp as ever. There was no row
dyism that might have been expected
because of it being "pay night.” Al
though an extra provost guard was
placed iui duty It was found to be
unnecessary. The actions of the
North Carolina soldiers in this re
spect were considerably to their cred-

BID SERENADES
FOND FAREWELL
Came to Town and Rendered
Excellent Music Last Night.
Delightful Surprise.
People down town last night were
completely surprised and most
agreeably so, too —with the serenad
ing of the Second Regiment Band of
the North Carolina National Guard
from Kinston, this being the unique
and highly acceptable manner of the
soldiers saying “good-bye” to Au
gusta.
The band, accompanied by a num
ber of officers of the regiment, came
to the city at 8:30 o’clock on one of
the open cars of tyie street railway,
playing as they came into town. What
sort of music this band can make is
well known to Augustans who have
heard them play. It Is great—one o f
the best military bands that has ever
been here.
They first went to the Commercial
Club, alighting from the car at the
monument, and there serenaded for at
least an hour. The music was great
ly enjoyed. Two more concerts were
given on Broad Street and It was
nearly midnight before they returned
to tho camp. The repeated, hearty
applause evidenced the manner In
which the music was received. It
was a most delightful surprise to
everyone who heard It and will be one
feature of the North Carolina encamp
ment at Augusta that will long linger
in the minds of the friends of the sol
diers here.
