CThe News and Cour ier's account is more l, and it seemis from 3. statement made by the civr:e-a!.t ish iferred that the churinig - Lt -gare and the interruption s o --hai b-,ut ;1 made by Co1Ieton bupe it by men from Charleston. Terios New and Couriers corresuoqxnuent says he investig ated who it 1a.ta was causing the fri-xuent ;il-tr ruptions. and i-vprts -that but, one from Char-'.ston serionsly in-I terrupted Mr. Lesesne." Never theless. it is said that a number of Mr. Legare's friends accom aned him to Walterboro. It is to be deplored that a cam paign meeting should not be con ducted in an orderly manner. Every candidate has a right to be treated courteously. true. it is hard for the chairman of a politi cal meeting to have the same or der as they ought to have at a church meeting,. but at the same time the people attending these meetings should not foiget they, are not compelled to sit and listen to a speaker, but when they do remain they should listen with re spectful attention. Regardless of Mr. Legare's popularity at Coi leton, we desire to remind those people at Walterboro. and throughout the district. that Mr.. Lesesne is a gentleman. and is within his rights when he seeks Congressional honors. Mr. Lesesne came home from his campaign tour Sunday morn ing, and in reply to an inquiry from us he said, that the account of the Walterboro meeting as written in the 'News and Courier was considerably bi ased, evidently the reporter was a partisan. He said there' was a number of Charleston men in the audience, and among them was J. Elr'ore Martin, Char leston's political chief. That the chairman of the meeting was in ~ -dignant at the conduct of some men who were making a lot , of noise, and he demanded that they should cease and give th speaker a resnectful hearing, he also stated that all of the noise was not being made by Colleton people. Mr. Les-t esne further said that at Char. t leston Saturday night he was giv en generous applause. and a most courteous hearingr. Mr-. Lesesne. is of th? opinion, based on what , he was told by men at Walterboro, the result of the meeting was in his favor. The meeting yesterday at St. George. the county seat of Dor chester. according to the dispatch ~ this morning was a fairly well at tended one, and that Mr. Lesesne was giveni an attentive and re spectful hearing. and at the con clusion of his speech he was7 heartily applauded. The News and Courier's correspondent. Le gare was given an ovation. i PA!NO0HEEn TO THEM. Every man who is old enough to vote is supposed to hiave sense U enough to know who he wants to e vote for, and he does not need the advice of the professional po iticker, who begins from the very e c outset of a political year to ride l over the county to adivise people i who they shall vote for.

LET THE VOTERS ALONE. Why pretend to trust the peo Se iIf thtV are goVng to b1 pester ed ml ht and day with heelers? This is a ques4tion which should appeal to thinking people. The Democratic party requires candi (ates to go before the voters. and designates the place. and the ti me to meet these voters. This being the case where is the jus tice in making this requirement, and then have candidates. going about to get pledges for votes be fore the time for the meetings tix ed by the Democratic party. If the voters are to be pledged in ad vance. the meetings are a waste of time. But what is more out of reason. is the method of sending out emissaries urging people to vote for the man the emissaries represent, and, if they cannot get the promise of a vote. they beg th.e man they mlectioneer, not to work for his choice. Of all the cheeky things we have heard was the fellow who went to a friend of a certain candidate, knowing the man to be as staunch as steel, proposed to him that he refrain from helping his friend. while he, probably for private gain or spleen, be Permitted to go among the people of that section urging the cause of the candidate in whose interests lie has left his business, to teach people with more judgment and principle than he has, how to vote. The people he was canvassing however. would not sell their manhood, nor would they go back on a friend who has proven himself such. When this election is over it is our judgment the people will by their votes, demonstrate fully that the day for the heeler and striker is no longer, and when men want public oftice. they must rely upon the confidence they have geritd from the people who re gadtheir vote a sacred right to handle not at the dictate of polit ical tramp. but a right handed down to them from those who bought the privilege with their blood: a heritage atrue man must regard too sacred to be used as a pawn oy some unscrupulous fel-' low who cares not for principle, a few paltry dollars is his idol, and for which he would dispose of his birth right. sTA T c;a -, 0 10 li * TV .ED. 5:1 pairtn.r of h :1r 4a F.

Tlhe settlement shows the county to be out of debt and a cash bal anee in the treasury of $%Q00. We dioubt if there is another county in the State which carn make such a showmng. Aiken county besides having money to her credit has a splendid systemi of public schools. and she prides; herself upon her excellent roads. Is it any wonder those people do not care to give up the sourice of, so much of her- revenuef lt.v. L. G. Br~ioughton of At lanta has been to Augusta to tedl those people a few things about the way they are not enforcing the prohibition law of Geor gia. and notwithstanding, Mr. Broughton told themn nothing but what tner were familiar with, his remiar-ks :reated quite a sensation, and the erfect was for good at least bor the evening the sermon was pr-eached. All State. cannot enforce p~rohii tion where the vast miajority atre opposedi to the law. Laws to be enforced must have the public sentiment to back them. and withcet that sentiment they are neffec'tive. - -Uncle Joe" Cannon is out on the~ hlustings:ma king specbes for the Regulars of his party.
