Not much interest was manifected by the people of the different sections in the meetings arranged by the County Democratic Executive Committee for the candidates to air their eloquence before an admiring public, in fact the meetings held during the week were slimly attended and no enthusiasm was aroused. The meeting at Swansea might very appropriately be termed somewhat a failure as regards numbers, - considering the population of the vicinity, there was but few voters present We do not propose to advance any theory to account for this lukewarmness among the voters further than to say that the people of the county are very busy on their farms and other pursuits, and having beard the questions discessed so often they have fully made up their minds and settled upon the candidates whom they will support. The first meeting held since our last issue was that at Swansea last Thursday. This meeting was de void of any special interest, the candidates who spoke covering nearly the same ground as they did at the Lewiedale; a synopsis of which was made in these columns. The stand was erected in a shady grove at Goodwin's mill, about one-fourth of a mile from the town. Nearly all of the candidates were present, some button holing the voters, others whispering soft nonsense into the listening ears of pretty girls, others complimenting staid and settle dimes on the beauty and smartness of their rosy cheeked and flashing eyed offspring, while the more callous hearted and practical c nes, believing that the road to a man's heait was by the way of hia stomach, were liberally patronizing the well served barbecue of Mr. H. R Goodwin. Hon. W. H. F. Rast, Lexington's beloved son, fairly and impartially presided over the meeting and introduced the speakers- with his usual j grace, dignity and courtesy. Swansea is a now town, beautifully and delightfully s'tuated on the South Bound Railroad; its climate is salubrious; the people hospitably, intelligent and take a wonderful pride in the prosperity of their thriving little town; the business men are full of enterprise and energy and leave no chance unimproved to attract and retain trade. Fiom Swansea the weary pilgrims in search of votes turned up at Brook land to meet with the patriotic and hardy sons of Congaree township. Like that of its predecessor this meeting was not as largely attended as was expected, although there was a fair turn out. All of the speakers were given a respectful and attentive hearing- and some votes were " ?O ' won aod lost as the speeches impressed themselves upon the voter. That venerable and patriotic citizen, Mr. J. G Guignard, who has grown gray in the service of his country, discharging every duty with marked ability and distinction, presided over the meeting. The best barbecue of the season was funisbed by G. W. Lybrand. The meats were deliciously cooked and well seasoned. Brookland is certain on a boom; her waste placea are being filled with beautiful and commodious dwellings of modern architecture; her schools and churches are in a healthy condition, and her business interest is looked after by wide awake and progresssive merchants. Only a small crowd greeted the pilgrims yesterday at Riston. Mr. Mcses, candidate for Congress, was there, as were also the three candidates for Solicitor, two candidates for the Senate, all for the House and nearly all for the county offices. LET THEM REFUSE. About a week ago the daily papers of the State contained a press dispatch from one of the leading manufacturing cities of the North to the effect that the Northern, manufacturers of cotton mill supplies had determined not to sell any more mill machinery to Southern customers except for cash. If this be true, it certainly will be in the nature of a God send to the South, as it will prove a great incentive toward arousing the indolence which is characteristic of the Southern race, which when once aroused and the South i3 forced to realize that the habits and customs which were so widely prevalent anterior to the war have passed away, and to hold their places in the commercial and social world, they have to rely upon the resources of their own individual energy and enterprise, they grasp will the situation which confronts them with that impetuosity and tenacity which is a distinguishing mark in the character of the Southerner, and which usually brings him out victorious in the end. God has bestowed with a liberal and munificent hand rich abundance of natural resources which, to be realized and made of commercial value only needs the arta and appliances, of intelligent and enterprising man. Gold, silver, copper, iron, mica, coal aod other precious as well as base metal3 lie hidden in the bosom of mother earth within the boundaries of our beautiful Southland, awaitiDg the arts of man to bring them to the furnaces, smelteries and other appliances to make them of commercial value. Her forests abounds in the rearest and most valuable woods which are extensively used for manufacturing and other purposes. Indeed there is not a material used for any purpose whatever that cannot be found somewhere and in some locality this side of the Mason and Dixon line. * _ ?i _ii iL.i Ab WB staieu auuve, aii mao xs needed to bring these natural resources into a marketable condition is to awaken the native Southerner to a realization of a dependence upon his own energies for success in life, and the refusal of the Northern manufacturers to furnish him with the materials to manufacture cotton into cloth and other commodities, is a long step in this direction and thus awakening him and forcing him to use the gifts bestowed upon him by a beneficient creator, other industries will spring up creating a de mand for the products of the South and thus giving employment to thousands of idle people. Skilled labor would be in demand and by its employment more money would be put into circulation and every department of business would feel the impetus of a sound, healthy and flourishing business condition that would make the South the most flourishing and prosperous part of God's earth, the garden of the world from which the world is clothed and fed. Last Wednsday in New York Bryan and Sewall were officially notified of their nomination for President and Vice President by the Democratic I party. All along the route on his way to New York, President Bryan met with a perfect ovation. People flocked to the railroad stations in vast numbers, cheers, music from brass bands, the booming of cannons, the waving of handkerchiefs and flags throwing hats, and shaking hands were some of the scenes which marked the progress of his journey toward tbe East. It is said that no such enthusiasm has been seen on the eve of a political campaign since the war. Iu New York fifty thousand persons chmored for admission into the hall in which Bryan was notified, which has a capacity of only 13,000. The New York papers admit that there is no precedent for this rush to Madison Square Garden. His speech accepting the nomination was full of patriotic utterances and the ring of true and lofty statesmanship and was enterwoven with an intelligent discussion of the questions of the day. The wide awake Georgia Railroad Commissioners have given the railroad officials something to think about in i ate cutting. They simply informed them that if they cut rates on through traffic they must make alike reduction on local traffic. Io other words they very properly say that railroads running into Georgia cannot discriminate in favor of foreign business against Georgia enterprise and interests. We need a Railroad Commission in South Carolina built after the model of the one that does business in Georgia.?Exchange. If our Commissioners had the temerity to force these court protected corporations to obey the law, Judge Simonton would issue a rule to show cause why they should not be adjudged in contempt of Simonton. jx vara iruui x>iu wiyaasa wcuxww. To the Yoters of Lexington County: Having announced myself late in the canvass as a candidate for County Supervisor, I have been unable to visit many sections of the county and tell the people my qualifications which pre-eminently fit me to discharge the duties of the office to which I aspire, therefore I use the columns of the Dispatch to lay some of my claims before the voters of the county, asking their careful consideration of the same. In the first place I have not much of a '"book education," the most of my education having been learned in the hard school of experience. Having followed to he saw mill business as a means of livelihood, I am a practical mill man, and an excellent judge of timber and lumber and am well acvuainted with the prices of the same, which experiences will be used in the interest of the tax payers in preventing imposition in furnishing inferior lumber and in making over charges for it. I have devoted mnfih time and attention to the sub jecfcs cf road making and bridge making and can make out specifications for their construction, which knowledge will be to the advantage of the traveling public as no work not coming up to the requirements of the letting will be accepted. It will be my pleasure as well as pride to have the roads put in first class condition and kept so. As to my record a3 a man and citizen I am contented for my neighbors to bear testimony and will cheerfully accept their evidence. I will strive to earn my salary by giving faithful service. My war record is known to many, and like many, precious little honors, except the consciousness of having faithfully performed a duty, have been heaped upon the private who bore the blunt of battle, the horrors of prision and being chase over the fields of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and I ain now in the battle of ballots chasing the honors, as well as the emoluments, of office and ask the support of the ladies and gentlemen to hold up my wheel on the day of the primary and give me a start and I will do my level best to wind up ahead, receive the honors and give the county good roads and biidges. Yours for faithful service, Ulysses Gantt. Down "With the Trust. President Keitt, of the State Farmers' Alliance, has requested the Presidents of the County Alliances to call for a mass meeting of farmers in the several counties to take such united action against the Cotton Tie Trust as we did against the Jute Trust. Doubtless you are aware that the Cjtton Tie Trust has advanced the price of ties so that those who use them will have to pay twice as much for them as they did last season. Now let us get together and stand together against this extortion. I ask every farmer, and every friend of the farmer, to meet at Lexington on the fii bt Monday in September, to take the steps necessary to protect our pocket books. I could say much more but I will reserve something for our meeting. J. L Shuler, Pres. Lex Co. F. Alliance. Bargains in Bicycles. Two slightly used $100 Bicycles for sale cheap, by M. A.

To the Voters of LexiDgton County: On account of the continued illness of a member of ray family, I have not been able to meet you at the various places of meeting which had been arranged for the candidates to meet the people. I regret this very much, and I take this method to let you know why I have not been in the campaign. If elected to the office to which I ? /y? r n i__ c? ? aspire?tne oinco 01 oouui) oupmiutendentof Education?I will discharge the duties faithfully and impartially, and will pledge myself to do all in my power to advanco the great cause of education in our county. Having held the office for one year and a half, I have now become thoroughly acquainted with the educational affairs of our county and, I believe, I am better prepared to render faithful and efficient service to the people. On account of the rough winter of '94 '05' and my not gettiug possession of the office until late?24 of December, 1894?I did not get to visit many schools in the county that winter. Every one is aware of the condition that the greater number of the public schools were put in by measle epidemic of last fall and winter. On that account I was again prevented from visiting many of the schools, though I did what I could in that direction. If re-elected I shall transact all the duties of the office to the best of my ability. Thanking jou for past ftvor-', ai d hoping that my record has been such as to merit a continuance of the same, I am, faithfully yours, John D.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Religion is good in hot weather as well as in cold. Were is possible f r a Christian to go to hades he would be happy, for Christ is with him. On July 25th, a special meeting began at Mt. Pleasant church, R?.v. Rev. J. D. Shealy pastor in charge. From the first to the last service the ? - A T WAD nrncnnf f/\ pUWCi U1 IUC JU'JIU > U.O j^i UOI.U u heal. The Holy Spirit came down upon us and we all got the old time religion. Blessed be the name of the Lord for a religion that breaks down all barriers, is no respecter of persons, makes everybody love bis neighbors; yea, thank God for a religion that saves. Brothers Tillman Shealy, Sidney Ballentine and Lindler assisted the pastor and myself, and the power of God were with these sainted men; far as they preached conviction seized the audience and sinners cried for mercy, which they obtained May God bless these dear brethren, and be with the pastor as he goes in and out before his people. May he lead his flock besides the still waters and green pastures into the poitals of glory and present them to the Limb, saying, "Here are thy jewels.'' May the Lord bless the good laymen of this church, both in their souls and storehouse and make them a power in the land. The crops of this section were in a prosperous condition. Some fodder was being stripped and housed and the cotton fields were beginning to whiten. Providence has blessed this community. There was but very little sickness in the neighborhood and nearly every body attended the meeting. Two services a day with a sumptuous meal between was the older of the hour. One attractive feature of the meeting was the number of pretty girls who attended. Mr. Editor, there is a fine chance here for some worthy young man to get a good wife. Politics were lively on the issues of the day, both in State and among the girls. May the blessings of God be with you. Bev. 0. M. Abney. Pleasant, S. C.' ?
