VOL. XXII. PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1894. NO, 43. TUE MARION MElETING, IT WAS A GOOD ONE DESPITE THE BAD WEATHER. Intereat Shown ohfeny in' the Senat,5al Night-Governor T1Ilma'a Questioni and Senator Hutiet' Answer,. MARION, b. C., July 3.-If this had been a ball game instead of a campaigr meeting here tfJay its record would have been written, "Rain-no game-' But the candidates could not be fright ened by a wetting, so anxious were they to have their innings, look the dear eople in the eye and see them face to face. There were about 700 per sons who turned out to see the Sendto. rial rock-pitching and the various and sundry side accompaniments to the big political show. They were martyrs to their curiosity, interest or whatever feeling that took them there. They not only saw reeds shaken by the wind, but felt themselves drenched from head to foot by torrents of water from black clouds that hung over the town For several hours there was a terrific down-pour and the crowd and most of tlhe speakers had to succumb to a first class ducking. The meeting was held in a grove about a block away from any shelter, and the crowd were sensi ble enough to keep huddling together and crouching under what umbrellas were on hand, otherwise they would have been like drowned rats had they broke for cover. General Butler's speech was the feature of today's meet ing. It was really a gem, and the big Tillmanite audience listened to him with such rapt attention that he actu ally seemed to have made severe in roads into the Governor's Marior forces. His speech was a combination of eloquence, wit an4. practical illus A~ tration. County Chairman J. D. Montgomer3 opened the meeting by asking the crowd not to put any "injecting ques tions" to the speakers and reminded them that the city needed money so that if ahy one misbehaved himself he would be sent to jail and made to "give up the stuff." Voice--Let every man consider him self a marshal for good behavior. (Ap. plause.) After prayer by the Rev. Mr. Beas ley the chairman began to call out the programme and was about to ring it the Senatorial candidates last when Governor Tillman halted him with the remark: "Oh, no, they had us last a1 FloreLce and you ain't going to put ui at the tail-end this time." The chair man succumbed and reversed his pro gramme. Railroad Commissioner Thomas cami in on the lightning express. le re hearsed his devotion to reform and quoted Trautwine on Civil Engineer ing, declared that the transportatior question was a live issue and therc was no better way to make the greal engine of State strike a stump than t< put unskilled men on the board o: railroad commissioners. Commissioner J. A. Sligb, of New bfrry was the next speaker. le ac knowledged that he was not a prett) man, but consoled himself with thi thought that his wife contended h( was the best looking man in th world, though he could get no one eldc to sympathize with him. Voice-That's right. (Appluuse.) Mr. Sligh-You know how it feels don't you? (Rtenewed laughter.) Mr. Sligh was a very-bashful refor mer. Ills reform was ingrained fron birth and be could not be anythini else. le declared that as railroad com missioner he bad always risen aboy factional prejutlieo and had endeavore to solve sll questions in an equitable wiay between the people and the rail roads. Hie had just remarked that hi was for unity among the people'wher time was called on him. Mr. G. Walt Whitman spoke next He took a hand primary to ascertali * how many persons in the crowd hat read the Alliance demande, four per sons responding. Hie began to tel about how a straightout and a mono metallist in Columbia had written t< the Governor thanking him for sup porting the South Carolinai Collegt when it began to "pour down cats an( dogs" and lhe suspended for a while lie was dead game, however, and re sumed when the rain slackened. 114 was still discussing everything in sigh when time was called. Governor Tillman declared in hil speech that General Butler hand holier -- ed like Tucker for ofice after 18'le He offered to join Butler in signing request to the State Executive Corn mittee to have a separate Senatoria box in the primary, H~e added tha even if Butler could get more votes ii a'separate box lie was going to get the legislators or there would bo hocus pocus somewhere. I don't understand an oxpressio1 that General Butler used at Darling ton, but I tell him if he will quit abec lutely discussing anything but publi questions and quit accusing me o being a thief with his dispensary ques tions, I will promise to quit peitin, him, for his record is twice as -vulnez able as mine, If he treats me courts ously I will not hit him below the bell but I say that I am not to be intimids ted or browbeaten. There are. thre questions that I want him to answer: First, let him name the man who h says told him that I ran at Hambur and I will prove him a liar by all th other rioters. becond, let him give me the name of the constables who ho says receive 88 er ayfrom the whiskey me: whl hywere getting $2 from th 8tate. I tried to get the best men. could for constables but I expect tha I did get some black sheep in th crowd, if lie or any man knows o euch cases let him name them. The third case I want him to settl with County Chairman Brice of York ville. General Butler said I insults him at the Yorkville meeting and a the Chester meeting he pItohed int mie in a very n emanly and outra geous manner. He says he asked pei mission at Yorkvilie to reply to m and that he was refused. I read fron the -Yorkville Enquirer that Chairmal Birice asked General Butler if lie wishe to reply and that he declined. IIe ani Mr. rice can settle that betwee them. . As Governor and Senator we ough to have enough repect for you ani for ourselves to conduct ourselves ii a decent manner in this campaign. have simply met aggression and insul with the same. I want to say a word to my oppo nents. I don't know why they hate me. Tboy have imbibed poison from the newspapers until they consider me a devil without honesty or principle. Well, suppose I acknowledge that I am a devil, but I claim that I have done something for South Carolina and I don't see why we can't have peace. But they have got to come to us There is no need of all this bitterness and in tense feeling. It's sorter died out now, it's true, because the antis are hopeless and have no candidates. But they are hardened in their wa3s and they must go to church and get reform religio. Genere, Butler began his speech by saying tl't Governor Tfilman had de. voted his time to the very thing that he said he desired him (Butler) to avoid-personalities. If you take away the abuse of Cleveland and Simonton and myself and others from his speech there in nothing left. General Butler answered the Governor's question con cerning Mr. Brice by saying that be fore the speaking he had put the ques tion to Mr. Brice as to whether there should be a ten mintues reply, and that Mr. Brice went to the Governor who said he was willing for Butler to ask him a question, . but not for him to reply. I overnor Tillman must understand right now, whilst he says he is not going to be bulldozed, that I never have been qulidozed and never will be bulldozed either. I promise him now that if he will confine himself to legiti mate debate he will have no cause to complain of me. I do not beg him to keep the lash off, but he must not plead the baby act when I strike back, which I am certain to do. The people want enlightened discussion and they want to know the remedies offered for their troubles. Our people are true and brave and gallant and they want the truth outside of rings and cliques and they will come up as free American citizens and cast their votes. I join with the Governor in invoking the restoration of harmony which is so essential to our progress and wel fare. No human being can say that I have uttered a word that would tend to separate the white people of this State into factions, because I know the i Republican party is standing ready to throw itself into the breach with its 150,000 negro majority and capture the State. I appeal to the people to lay aside all political hostilities and ani mosities and put their shoulders to. gether and unite for the best. The Governor says that he is going to beat me in this race. Now that is an old dodge. He can claim the heav ens and the earth, but that is not going to elect him. This is the first time the Governor has indicated that he would join me in requesting a separate box for the Senatorial race. At Edgefleld some of my reform friends took me aside and told me that they wanted to vote for me, but that they could not go back on the movement, as they feared Clem son College would be shut up and all that sort of thing. My friends, 1 do not believe in reac tionary legislation. All good citizens rejoice in the accomplishments of the Reform movement. All of us ought to be reformers, and no patriotic citi zen can undertake to destroy what has been accomplished. The Governor's administration is, however, amenable to just criticism, and because I find something in it to criticize he cries out "abuse," and says that I attack him personally. Referring to the constable question, Gen Butler said tbat he was not going to be an informer, but he would say That while passing through Spartan burg at the time of the Darlington disturbance a gentleman told him that they had anice set of spies there and intimated that they were taking pay from the whiskey mni. How, in the name of common sense said Gen. But ler, can the conclusion, be avoides, when constables shut their eyes as they walked past open barrooms. Ans wer ing the Governor's remarks about the Hlamburg incident, he said: I think that in thie course of the next few days I can furnish the Governor with a cer -tiflcate. I was told that when he went to -Hamburg he could not be fond when the firing began. I say to the Governor, now, that if lie will join me in requesting a sepa rate box for the people to determine in a primary whom they want, that we will got a fair expression of' opinion and that he will find some political surprises in this State by the 28th of August. Although he has been crow ing and flapping his wings, he will go home that. iaay with his finger in his -mouth. If lhe can beat me fairly, I shall not whine. If he beats me fairly and honestly 1 will do as much as any -man in this State to put him in the Senate. lie has not said as much for me. He says that I charged that he hae brought chaos into the State. If we -were not on the eve of chaos at D~ar lington and Florence, God save the country from chaos. I voted for him -and the entire ticket and I have never -thrown one obstacle in the way of his Senforcement of the law, but I say that fhe must be subject to criticism. No man in this State was more surprised Sthan I was when it was found after -1876 that I was the man to be sent to -the Senate. The people called for me Swith practical unanimity and I went there by the unanimous vote of the SWallace House. Taking up Governor Tiliman's charg es of corruption in federal affairs, Gen. Butler declared that if the Supreme Court was corrupt and the Senate had been bought and the House ownked by - Wall street, then popular government was a failure. Gen. Butler wvas very 1effective in replying to Governor Till - man's remarks about carrying pitch forks and rocks to Washington with thim. lie said that If the Governor got up in the Senate the Senators woul I tell him, "Fling your rocks, young man; we will go in the cloak rooms and let I you throw them at vacancy." (L augh | ter.) i he General said that the Senate was Sthe best oratorical burying ground he knew. "These pyrotechnic fellows get -scant treatment." He related an in -stance of a man in the Senate "who started his own mouth off and then went off to leave it." The man in qusin serAt some manuscript to the clerk's desk to be read and while the clerk was readidg it went off to the cloak room, where he remained until the clerk was nearly through readinf Lwhen he returned and resumed his speech. Having denounced the senate how does Governor Tiliman expect to have any influence there? lie cannot get what a prudent man can and when he asks for an appropriation for South Carolina they will Fay to him, "Go and get it yourself." (Laughter and ap plause.) Il1 speeches remind me of t he piney woods yearling. Take away ill the abuse and nothing is left but tail and ears. (Laughter.) Gon. But ler closed his speech with a stirring peroration in which he said if he forgot rls people may the good Lord paralyze tus tongue and strike him speechless. Senator John Gary EVans followed. Ile began to speak in a pathetic vein, recalling the doings of his kinamen in Marion when he was interrupted by ,heers for Ellerbe. Ite made the foI lowing explanation concerning his re mark at the Florence meeting that the Reformers had to "buy out" the Colum bia Register. "I don't think anybody will believe that any Reformer had a dollar to buy iny newspaper. We held a meeting in Dolumbia to see if we could raise monev enough, and afterward the Register 3ame over t0 our assistance, and if it was bought it did not get any of my money, and I don't believe it was bonght. I am here to defend any pa per that has hit a lick for us. As long as the Register stands by us I shall stand by JL." Thu Game Cock discussed the school and dispensary questions and said that the profit from the latter ought to be applied to the public schools. He en tered a kick about the candidates for Governor being allowed only half an hour in which to do their speaking. It was making the canvass a farce and he wanted more time even if it had to be taken from other candidates. Secretary Tindal made a nice speech, saying that the people must keep the government in their hands and not al low future rings, adding that they must not exercise their power in a spirit of revenge. General E llerbe was the last speaker. He was rmceived by his townsmen with great applause. He said he was for peace and harmony but that the minority must give in to the majority. He called upon both sides to lay down their arms and join In helping to build up the State. lie said that he did not favor the dispensary law at first, but that it had panned out better than he had expected. He thought that the opposition should help perfect it instead of try to kill it. This ended the speaking. Fatal Dash for Liberty. COLUMBIA, S. U., July 3.-The love of liberty was strongly illustrated yes terday afLernoon when a young white convict made a mad dash tor liberty and met his death irom a bullet which passed through his body. The young fellow "'as only twenty-three years of age and had but a few months more of his sen tence to serve. It seems that the poor iellow was the victim oi a plot which he with many others had formed to escape and which lie was the only one to attompt to carry out. The story of the young prisoner'd death is about as follows: The prisoner, James Hill, who was sent up from Edgefleld county on the 15th of March last, under a sentence of twelve months for larceny of live stock, wos one of a equad of twelye convicts, mos. of whom were white and among whom was Edwards, the young lawyer sent up from Sumter county, to go to the State farm, about two miles above the city, to load some wagons hiauling pine straw. The squad was in charge of Guards Lafar and F. Ihardy. They were walking alnug the railroad track abut a mile ab 'd the city near the old rock quarry, just where there is a dense thicket on each side of the road. With out the slightest warnin.r Hill suddenly threw down his rake and dashed off down a littLe by-path into the thicket. The giardi tired at him as he dashed into the thicket,, but missed him. Guard Ihardy then went oil at some udistanco from the track and stood on the top of' a high lill overlooking the surrounding ground., The convict, soon dashed out the edge of the thickel, 100 yards away and the guard ficed at him. ie fell and expired In a few minutes. The ball e'ntered1 his back just above the lit, near the spinal column, and passed through the body. Coronor lbaeh was notifid and held an irquest yesterday evening, the jury ren dering~ a verdict that 11111 was killed by Guard iIardly in the discharge of his duty. Vhe penitentiary authorities think that there was a plot among all the white men in the squad to escape, andl that Ihill made the break before the others realized what he was about. iEd wards and one or two others statedl to the authorities after the killing that Ilill had told them that lie intendled to make the attempt when sent out yesterdiay at. ternoon.-State. Fruit and Melon s ai Dug , ATL ANTA, July 4.-As a result of the railroad tie-up in the West, the ship meat of fruit and melons have congest ed in Atlanta to such an extent that they are being sold hero cheaper than ever known. Ilundlreds of carloads of watermelone destined for Chicago, St. Louis and other Western points, hava been sidletrackedl and the railroads are almost giving them away. In many instances they are selling them at less than the actual cost of bringing them as far as Atlanta. The fruit stands, are literally overflo wing with pineapples and bananas stopped here on their way Weost. Bananas are being liberally disposed at 25 cents a bunch and pineapples are going at from 3 to 5 cents apiece. Prices are getting cheaper every day, andl if the tie uip continues the congestion of fruit shipments here will be so great as to make it necessary to give it away pr have it rot without being disposed of. A Plucky Womnan.. WiNTi CirmsTizi, Pai., diuiy 4.--Two tramps waylaid Miss Lizzie Painter, of ilopewell, and as a result one of them got a pistol bullet in his arm. Miss Painter is a music teacher, and was driving from one of her scholar's homes to Iopewelli. In a lonely part of the road a man, evidlently a tramp, jumped Out from the undhergrowvth at tile road side and told her to "cra wl (dowa out of that wagon." For an answer Miss Painter raised her revolver and fired, and with a cry of pain the man diropped his hold on the horse with a bullet in his wrist. Just at this moment another man ran out to catch the horse, &Wnd the ponng lady fired at him, bult missed. The horse was frightened at the reports and rushed down the road before the second ma~n could stop it,. Since then a diligent search has been made for the tramps, bnt thiey have not been anght.

Olef of the road were also on board. T police had been dispatched to aid the moving of trains in the yicinity the stock yards. At Fourth street t mob grew so demonstrative that t train was compelled to halt. The e gineer believed himself the object attack and drew his revolver. Be he could shoot a policeman disarmi him. The crowd saw the moveme ann became wild with frenzy. Th rushed upon the train, literally swari ing aroun(I it, pelted it -with stori anid sticks, breaking many windol and howling like mad men. The p lice then drew their own revolvers al fired into the crowd. One or two m are said to have been hit, but it is n yet known how seriously they are hu A dozen~ shots or so were fired. In tl mantimea the engmineer had evers ias engine and the train wae soon forced backwqI out of reach of the now unbridle- nob and returned to the T city. This is the first shooting in the present strike. It occurred in a locality where the men were already furioui and it is believed will be the signal for desperate encounters very soon. A Rock Island express from the r- West attempted to follow the train l bearing the soldiers from Blue Island into the city this afternoon, but at Fortieth street the train was effectually blocked by the strikers, who had "V thrown flat cars across the track.

At twenty-eighth es ntreet. they overturned two freight 1. cars on the track; at Twentieth street I. three, and at Twenty-filftn street two. They were met at Twenty-second gt street by a small detachment of police 1. and before the officers could make any arrests the mob had dispersed. The trainmen repaired the damage within two hours.

CniicAoo, July 5.-The sui weni down on by far the most turbulent an ird critical day thus far in the unpar M alleled railroad strike and boycott .a When it opened there was a genera -8' feeling that its passage would go fai r toward clearing the atinosphere, if in ud deed it did not practically lift the oem red bargo on commerce which has held MAhi Lhe city in its grip for tbe past week. Tha nd expectation was chiefly based on thi mn- presence of Federal troops in the mosi les dangerous district. Fooking at the situa Ps tion at the close of the day it must be th confessed that the hope indulged at the .t opening in this regard has not been 3 justilled. The troops were few in numn bers at best, when they were divided into squads and distributed at points separated by very considerable dis - tances,it soon became eviaent that their n prestige as overawing bodies had been a dissipated at the same time. )n Instead of fleeing in fear before the By faces of the vtterans, as was expected Lr- they would do, the turbulent thousands !s, surged about the little ba-:d of soldiiers, tj. jeered and hooted them, and cast vile kr. threats at them and literally played !. hide-and-seek with them, stopping . trains at will and generally rendering the embargo in the military district, ,o more effective, ii possible. thani before. *The throng o1f strikers did~ not resist gUncle Sam's police, agaui rid a~gin .o when there were thousamis of them U-. about a train while it sought, to move er they gave way like water before the to leveled bayonet~s of a single comnpany ad of infantry or the traimphing of a siingle to squad of cavalry, Like water too they ed closed in again at ai point just beyonid. og They turned swiches, derailed freight ill cars in front of the slow moving train l' and played all sorts of railroaders tricks >m with which the soldiers -wore unai. ,e. qjuainted.

WAsmINOTON, July 5.-The Presi dent, Secretary Lamont, Postmaster General Biesell, and General Shefleid remained at the White Iouse tonight until nearly 12 o'clock. Many tele. grains were received and sent during the course of the evening; General Ru gles bringing one over to General Scho field from General Miles. When the conference broke up Secretary Lamont, acting as spokesman for the President, 4 announced there was nothing to make t public, except the telegram from Gov- c ernor Atgold of Illinois and the Presi- < dent's response thereto. Governor At geld protests against the presence of United States troops in Chicago. To this the President responds: Executive Manalon, Washington, D. C., July 5, 1894. lion. John P. Atgeld, Governor of 1111 nois, Springlield, 1I. Federal troops were sent to Chicago t in strict accomlance with the Constitu tion and laws of the United States, up on the demand of the Postoillce De- t partient that the obstructions to the r mails should be removed and upon the c representations of the judicial officers ' of the United 'tates that the process t of the Federal courts could not be ex ecuted through the ordinary means and upon abundant proof that conspiracies existed against commerce between the States. To meet these conditioi i which ire clearly within the provinte J of Federal authority, the presence of I Federal troopsi in Chicago was deemed not only proper, but necessary, and I there has been no intention of thereby interfering with the plain duty of the local authorities to preserve the peace i of tile city. (Signed) G IOVEn CLEYELAND. Governor Atgeld says that waiving all questions of courtesy the State of Illinois is not only able to t ike care of itself, but it stands ready to furnish the 'ederal government any assist. anco it may need elsewhere. The State troops have not been ordered out be cause nobody in Cook County, official or private citizen, has asked for their assistance or intimatedthat it was needed. The railroads ate paralyzed, he slys, not by reason of obstruction, but be cause they cannot get men te work them; thiat such was the case when State troops had been recently called out at the request of the Railroads else where than in Chicago. Atgeld, says the conditions do not exist in Chicago which bring the case within the Feder al statutes and that he (the President) has bten imposed upon for political ends. The follo wing is the concluding par agraphs of (Govornor Atgeld'ts tele. gram: 'l') absolutely ignore a local a government in maitters of this kind, when the local government Is ready to 3 furnish l any assistance needed and is amply able to en fore the law, not only insalits the people of tile State by imputing to them an inability to govern themselves or unwill ingness to enforce the law, but is in violation of a basic principle of our institutions. The question of Federal supremacy is in no way in volved. No one disputed it for a mo ment, but under our Constitution Fed eral sipremacy and local self govern ilent must go hand in hand and to ig nore tile lIttor is to do violence to the Constitution. As (lovernor of the State of Illinois I protest against this 1111d ask the immediate withdrawal of tile Fedoral troops from active duty in this Stat. 8hould tile situation at any time get so serious that we cannot con trol it with the State forces we will promptly and freely ask for Federal as sistanic, buit until such time I protest witih all (due defierenlce agianst this un calledi for riliection upon our people andl aigaian ask tile imnmediaite with drlawa'Il of th~ese troops.

CLARENOON'S COUNTY CHAIRMAN REPLIES TO HIS REQUEST In the Matter of Managers of Eteetton The Sanatot'a Representative Promptly Replies to Nettles' Answer-intorenting Roadinir. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 3.-A tow lays ago Senator Butler sent out to each of the various chairmen of the Democratic xecutive committees of the several ounties in the State a letter looking to btaluing cepresentation on the boards of rimary election managers Yesterday he following reply was received from he chairman of the Clarendon commit. ea: Manning, S. C., June 30, 1894. Ion. M. C. Butler, Columbia, S. 0. Dear Sir: Yours of the 26th instant o hand, in which you say: "For the coming primary election, |8th of August next, I have the honor o request that I be allowed from among ny friends an equal division of the mans. era of said election. Either give me wo managers and give Gov. Tillman he other manager and the clerk, or give lov. Tillman two managers and give me he other and the clerk." I confess to very great surprise at the 6bove. You seem'not to realize the ob. ects and interests of our primaries, but ,o have reached the conclusion that their ole aim and end this year is centered a the Senatorial contests. Possibly rou have overlooked the fact that there a really to be no election in our prima lea for a United States Senator, but as isual these officers are elected by the state Legilature, and it is to be pre. iuied that our legislators will have iome other merits and qualifications ,han simply to vote for a United States Seuators. You have apparently jumped it the conclusion that the heretofore Re Eorm and anti-Retorm factions of the State have been revised and that their platforms of principles are now concen - trated on Tillman and Butler, or on Tillmanism and Butlerism. You surely lost sight of the fact that there are many other candidates, each of whinm may feel as great interest In his individual election as you do in yours. I believe it Is a fact that there are already four candidates for Governor. Then there are candidates for the other State oflices, for Railroad Commiesioners, for Congress, for the Legislature, for coun. ty oillces-a great host of candidates, each one like yourself, possibly, fearful of the consequences. Suppose that fol lowslg your example each one of this mighty host should demand two man agers, that he might feel fully assured that every vote cast for him was proper ly counted (and you must admit that in this Democartic country of ours you have no rights that the humblest cannot equally claim, what would be the re atilt? I think when you carefilly consider this question you will realize that your request is unreasonable. We have in Clarendon county twenty five clubs, and in each the line is strong ly drawn between Reformers and anti. Reformere. Fifteen of these clubs are Reformers and ten are Antis. At our primaries in 1892 we agreed upon the following plan: Each club should select from its own members two managers and one clerk, and a neighboring club of the opposing faction should complete the ooard by sending another manager and a clerk. By this plan each club had three managers and two clerks and both factions were represented., We found it to be a most excellent plan and it will probably be adopted again this year. If' now these anti clubs (or Reform clubs) should see fits to champion your candidacy, and to select Butler mana gers, they would of course have a right to do so, and in tis way you may get your wishes gratlfied, but then, as you will note, this is a private matter with the clubs and not for the executive com mittee. You know it is now "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Yours very respectfully. S. A. NETTLES. Chairman Democratic Executive Com mittee, Ciarendon County. CAPT. CAPERS REPLIES. Columbia, S. C., July 2, 1894. Mr.S. A. Nettles, Chairman, Clarendon County: Dear Sir: Your favor of June 30, in reply to the letter written by Senator Butler, asking for an equal representa ion at the coming primary election in the board of managers, duly to hand. Your expressions of surprise ace as absurd as your ideas are narrow and par tisani. It affordls me some satisfaction to feel sure that you do not express the views, nor do you represent the feelings, of the executive committee of your coun ty or of the white Democrats of South Carolina, matters not to what faction they may belonit. Many of your refer ences to Gen. Butler are unworthy of you, but I dismiss them and credit them to a bias which has charaeterized your public career for the last four years. F.-om many portions of South Carq lin I have received most courteous re.. plies to Senator Butler's letter--from county chairmen, win have been in the movement longer than you have and whoi are, no doubt just as true Reformera. Do me the kindness to submIt Senator Butler's letter to your executive com mittee when it meets. The simple re quest is only for "fair play" and you iould not show so much nervous agita .,ion in anticipating that fair play would mean the removal of yourself and some others from in fluence in Clarendon coun - ty. Very truly yours, JoHN G. CAPERS. E atal Wreck.
