STATE CAMPAIGN MEETING. The campaign meeting of the State candidates held in this city Friday last, was highly entertaining to the large audience gathered tor the occa sion, and was, to all appearances, alto gether satisfactory to the candidates. During the forenoon the audience numbered, probably, 800. .Many la dies were present. In the afternoon threatening clouds made their appear ance in the west and the crowd dwin dled considerably; hut every candidate was heard by a fairly good audience. The meeting was held in the grove of the Patrick Military Institute. The day was as near ideal as a mid-summer day could he. Slowly moving clouds now and then shut off the sun's rays and stirred the atmosphere, making the live hours patient listening a pos sibility. The meeting was almost painfully orderly. The two Colonels, Talbert and Tillman, relieved tht tedium somewhat by a ??ghL show of beligereucy toward one another, but it didn't last long enough nor go |fnr enough to bo very entertaining to an Anderson audience. The question be tween them was concerning Col. Tal bert's scheme of applying taxes to the public schools. Tillmnu wasattarking. Talbert innocently interrupted by re marking, "I do not know the remedy, 1 want to know it."' Tillman replied, ?arcaatically, "You should inform yourself, then." Talbert sprang to his feet, advancing toward Tillman and, shaking his finger at him, said, appa rently laboring under great excite ment, "I never want information from such a source as you are." With sang froid sarcasm Tillman replied, "I thank God Almighty that He endowed me with enough brains not to seek in formation from such an ignoramus as you." At thiB juncture there were a few scattering shouts for both Tillman and Talbert, but the incident between them wnB closed. Another Blight wave of excitement was started by Col. Tillman being in terrupted in his remarks about the negroes being robbed of two-thirds of the taxes they pay for school purposes. J. D. Harris, of Helton, demanded tk proof. Tillman undertook to explain. Mr. Harris cut him oil' by insisting on having the proof before ho spoke further. Chairman Watkins rose to quiet matters, but Tillman snid to him, "Don't worry nbout me, captain, I can take care of that snphead." Then turning to Mr. Harris he said, "can you tell me how much money is pnid into the State treasury ? You can't tell me that, and until you know, you bet ter keep your mouth shut." There were shouts for Tillman and counter shouts for Harris, and the incident ended. The meeting was called to order by County Chairman H. H. WatkinB at 11 o'clock. Divine blessings were in voked by the Rev. M. B. Kelly, of the St. John's Methodist Church, this city. The program placed the gubernatorial candidates lir. t. ('apt. D. C. Heyward was introduced and was greeted with much applause. He spoke in glowing terms of the prin ciples of Democracy. Complimented Anderson on the splendid record the County bad mad-u iu the cause of De mocracy, especially iu 1870. He had never been a candidate for office?was comparatively a Btranger here, but South Carolinians are never strangers. His own County hnd unanimously in dorsed him without his solicitation. He is in favor of tdspeusnry; of im proved school facilities; morestringeut laws against trusts and monopolies; liberal pensions for old soldiers; leav ing matter of soldiers homo to be de cided by them: in favor of child labor laws. If elected, would justly enforce the law. Paid glowing tribute to the ladies, made mauy friends, a good im pression on every one, closed amidst hurrahs for Heyward and received beautiful flowers. Hon.W. .1. Talbert was next intro duced. He pnid a brief tribute to the ladies and then took for discussion tin: "great principles of the "Alliance," the motto of which was, "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Great principles never fail. Monopolies and trusts are the greatest danger now confronting us. We need improved method of assessing property for taxa tion so that burden will fall equally upon all. Taxes paid by whites should go to educate white children. Negroes should educate their own children and manage schools as they do their churches. Absolutely opposed to tax ing whites to educate negro. Capital and labor should be interd?pendant. Ther- should be laws to protect weak against the strong. In favor of liberal pension to Confederate Veterans. In favor of dispensary law prop erly and carefully euforced. Col. Talbert was listened to attentively and received hand-clappings and applause and flowers at the close. Lieutenant Gov. Tillman came next. He was greeted with "Jim, have you got your sword yetf "Yes, and will keep it rat her than give it to Roosevelt to give to Hooker Washington," he re plied. Proceeding to speak Col. Fill man remarked that the prayer of Rev. Kelly that only God-fearing, truthful men be elected to office was hi accord with his views, and he, stood ready to be measured by 'hatyard stick, but he wanted it iu the hands of that kind of a maty and not iu the hands of Iviog newspapers. I'rotn .this he proceeded t<? pleasantly criticise and ridicule lira competitors and their chances of elec ; tion. When lie reached Col. Talbert his remarks became somewhat caustic, and Col. Talbert couldn't keen his Beat, but aroso and enacted Iii? part of tbe Bceue above mentioned. Tillman accused Talbert of completely ebang- I iug his position on the negro school I question. Thin Talbert llatly denied. The discussion bi t ween them was warm and amusing to the audience. Hot h received cheers. Nothing was said by Col. Tillmau concerning the Senate ruling and Bword incident upon which an opinion as to merits or de merits could be based. Dr. W. II. Timmermau was then in troduced. He said he was asking oliice on Jus merits and the record he had made iu his many years ot service lor the State as Treasurer and presiding oflicer of State Senate. He claimed that because of hin experience he was better qualified Tor the position of Governor than his competitors. Wants position for one term only, and thinks it reasonable request to gratify lauda ble ambition. In favor of better school facilities, better roads, better laws agaiuBt the trusts, liberal pensions, &c. He criticised Capt. Hey ward as gentle man of elegant leisure, throwing aiound cigars and possibly a little brandy, while he (Timmerman) was "working hard for my country.1' He closed amid applause. The Dr. made a good impression in Anderson. When Dr. Timmerman was introduced a little ten year old Miss in the audience turned to her father and said, 'Tapa, is that the old gentleman who always Bits for the pictures of I'nelo SainT"' M. P. An Bel, the last of the guberna torial candidates, came next. He met with a flattering reception. Many of his old friends had been impatiently waiting to hear him and some were rude enough to call for him while one or more preceding him were speaking. He made a capital speech, covering briefly all the important measures of the times?increase of pensions, better public schools, better laws against trusts und monopolies, bettor roads, and an effort to obtain government aid in road building. Is in favor of the dispensary as the best solution of the whiskey question. He. was listened to attentively and were frequently inter rupted by cheers and roundly applaud ed when he closed. Candidates for Lieutentant-Gover nor came next and was limited to live minute? each. The candidates for this office are Hon. F. B. Gary, Col. John T. Slonn, Hon. Cole L. Mease. There are no issues between them. All are honorable and worthy men. Mr. Gary, of Abbeville, has served as speaker of the House for six years prior iTthe last Legislature, and has made an ex cellent reputation for ability, fairness and affability. Mr. Sloan, of Colum bia, but a native of Anderson County, Peudleton being Iiis birthplace, has never held office, but is among the youngest of Confederate Veterans lie was in the race for Lieuteunnt Governor two years ago and came out second best. He thinks that if there be nuythiug in the logic of politics he will be elected this time. Mr. Hlease, of Newberry, hns served in the Legis lature for a number of years, favors biennial sessions, was original dispen sary advocate, is friend of common schools and agrees with Col. Talbert on negro education. Olliee of Attorney-General came next. Bought for by Mr. X. IT. Gunter, of Columbia, and Hon. W. P. Steveu Bon, of Chesterfield. The only ques tion to be settled as to these gentlemen is which is the more capable or better fitted for the position. They are throwing a little sand at each other about going before certain committees while holding positions which made the act inconsistent and their motives somewhat questionable, but the dis pute appears to be of little interest to the people. Mr. Gunter is at present assistant Attorney-G?n?ral, Mr. Ste venson is a lawyer of considerable reputation, has been a member of the Legislature for several years and two years ogo was elected Speaker of the House. Messrs. o. T. Gfintt, of Columbiu. J. Hnrvy Wilson, of Sumter, and J. Thomas Austin, of Greenville, are seeking the office of Secretary of State, Mr. Gantt has served as assistant in this office for four years. He claims to have made a good record and to have engineered a bill through the Legisla ture last session whiidi brought into tbe State Treasury $40,000. Mr. Wil son claims to be a farmer, a Confed erate Veteran, ^vaa member of Legisla ture and introduced and had. passed the bill above referred to as prepared by Mr. Gantt. *lr. Austin is an old tried Democrat, has served in the Leg islature, nud was a member of the Wallace Hou se. His home people have always indorsed him whon he asked for oliice. Next came candidates for State Su perintendent of Education. Mr. O. 11. Martin, of Greenville, and Hon. J. J. Mc.Mahan, the present superintendent, presented their claims for this posi tion. Both addresses were good. This is the. first appearance of Mr. Martin asking office of the people, lie made many friends in Anderson. M v. Me Maban has served two terms and made au efficient superintendent. For the office of Comptroller-Gcu era), Messrs. N. W. Brooker, of Colum bia, A. W. Jones, of Abbeville. \V. H. Sliarpe. of Lexington, and G. L. Wal ker? of Greenville, are contending. Fach made a very nice speech in the time given them. There are no issues, and each promises to do his duty if j elected. Next came the candidates for the po sition of Adjutant anil Inspector Gen eral. Capt. Geo. D. Bouse, of Charles ton, Capt. J. M. Patrick, of Anderson, Col. J. C. Boyd. of Greenville, Mai. Paul E. Ayer. of Anderson, and Col. J. D. Frost, of Columbia, present as sistant in this oil-ice, are competitors. Capt. Bouse waa absent because of ill ness. Capt. Patrick gallantly gave his time to the other speakers, this be ing his home. The others addressed the meeting. There was no mud sling ing and each acquitted himself well. For the position of H nil road Com missioner there are nine earnest seek ers. Eight of them addressed the meeting here Tuesday. Messrs. J. C. VVilborn, J. G. W?lling, James Cann ier, B. L. Caughman, W. Boyd Evans, A. C. Jepson, H. J. Kinard and Hon. J. G. Mobley. Mr. H. H. Prince was ab sent. Each one gave good reasons why he should be elected. Mr. J. C. Wil born is present incumbent This is a highly important office and calls for the exercise of sound judgment in mak ing a selection. The meeting closed with the addaesses of candidates for this office. A good rain fell almost im mediately after the meeting closed. At night there was a meeting held at Mill ville by the operatives of the An derson Cotton Mills and the candidates were invited to add res?; :!iem. Those u tio availed themselves of the im ita tion were Messrs. Tillman, McMuhan, Frost, Patrick, Evans, Mobley, Caugh- J man, Jepson, Brooker, Cansler, Wil- ' born, W?lling, Martin, Gantt and Ayer. The audience numbered about 1?0. These candidates were at Walhalla Monday und at Pickens to-day. l'endletori Items.

Washington, July 13.?Uncle Sam will soon call upon South Carolina to aid him in recruiting the 3,000 men that comprise the addition to the en listed branch - of the service author ized by cougress in the recent naval appropriation law. Instructions have been issued to D. C. Haurahan, now stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard, to make a tour of the south this sum mer with a recruiting party to make enlistments. Ensign Hanrahan ex pects to reach Columbia about the latter part of this month and will spend at least a week in tho capital city where he will open a recruiting station. The party will first go to Lynchburg, Va., where they will es tablish a station on July 19. From there thoygo to North Carolina, stop ping at Charlotte and Raleigh and thence to Columbia. After making enlistments at the latter point the programme calls for a stop in Char leston Aug. 4, remaining there until Aug. 9, when they cross the line and spend some time in Georgia. Ala bama will be tho next State visited and thence Ensign Hanrahan and his party will open rendezvouses in Mis sissippi, Louisiana and Tennessee. So successful was tlia party which visited Columbia last summer in eharge of Lieut. George G. Mitchell in mak ing enlistments for the navy that it is expected Ensign Hanraban will find South Carolina a fertile field for work ing, and should the number of enlist ments guarantee it he will prolong bis stay in Columbia in order to give as many as desire it an opportunity to enlist. All applicants will be required to stand a physical examination and if successful they will be immediately enlisted in the service and dispatched to a training station, possibly Port Royal, which tho navy department has been using for that purpose recently. The new ships for which men will be required are the battleship Maine, now Hearing completion at the .vorks of Cramp tfc Sons, Philadelphia, and the monitors Arkansas, under con >uaction at Newport News, Va., the Nevada, which the Bath Iron Works are building at Bath, Me , the Florida, ready for her preliminary trials, built by Lewis Nixon, at Elizabethport, N. J., anu the Wyoming, building at S.in Francisco. Resides the torpedo boat destroyers already accepted, there are thirteen which will shortly bo turned over to the government. Sevon torpedo boats are also soon to be de livered to the government and it is a problem where sufficient men are to be obtained to enable the placing in com mission of all these new vessels. It is estimated that there are 869,000 inhabitants in the citieswhiehEnsign Hanrahan will visit and the depart ment hopes to obtain from this num bor a fair percentage of recruits. Formerly it was the policy of the navy department to work only the sea faring population of the United States for recruits but all idea that suoh re cruits are better suited to the servioe was abandoned some time ago and now the department scours the .country, sea coast and inland, to obtain men for the navy. That the servioe may be made as att ractive as possible steps have been ta'.en to improve the status of the blue jaokets. Gun captains are hereafter to be eligible to advance ment which will be quite an induce ment for enlistment in the servioe. FURMAN UNIVERSITY. G KEEN VILLE, S. .?

M- ' ' ' 1 \ ? mmmm* There are Bargains AND THERE Are Bargains ! But, Oh ! Such a Difference. A Bargain has been defined a "gai nful transaction," because it produces profit or advantage to the purchaser. Some.folks are deceived by what they are led to believe are Bargains until they fail to find the profit?the advan tage which is not and never was there. "Sorrows remembered" may "sweeten present joys," but that won't recoup the money squandered. There's no de ception in this Store's Bargains, unless it be that Goods are better than our claims for them But it makes people good natu red to be deceived that w?v. Here is a Bargain that you cannot duplicate elsewhere for the same styie and quality of Goods : Egyptian Tissues and Foulards, Sold for 20c and 25c yari reduced to 10c. These Goods are of this season's make, no old stock or hard stock. We don't want to carry these over, hence tho reduction. You will find many, many other Bargains in this Store that will be worth your while to take in. This is the season for price reductions, and* yon will be surprised at the big values we offer. You will always find our Stock thoroughly up-to-date. Summer styles in Millinery are of dainty, graceful shapes, with * wide range of trimmings.
