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." 11 RAPIDLY ON POSTOFFICE * Excavations to be Completed Within Two or Three Weeks Then Pile Foundations Will be Started.

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.
