CKNS SENTINE&JU k SEntered April 28, 1903 at Pickens, S. 0., as second class matter, under act of Congress of March 8, 1879. * PICKENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 906. AS COL. BACON SAW IT. A Rich and Rare Account of the State Campaign Meeting at ., Edgefield. The followiik47 account of the State campaign meetnig at FAge'. field, from the Edgefield Ohronicle, written in Col. James T. Bacon's inimitabie style will be read with great interest by the people of the State, throwing a side light on the campaign that ciinnot fail to charm. Edgefield's State campaign meet. ing took place day before yester. day and was really in many re spects more of a social than a pol. itical affair. Our court house was crowded to excess and perhaps more than half the pop)le were ladies. Not only the ladius of our town and vicinitv came out, but also many from 10 and 12 miles away, .cs1peciaily. from Trenton. Before 10 a. in. dozens of privileged old men, heads of tribes, and dozens of ease loving young men in wet shirts had entrenched themselves in the best places in the court house say, Ug to themselves, "Soul and body take thine ease." But they had reckoned vainly. As fair .women in white and lilac gowns and pink roses began to pour in, the ease loving mon were promptorily and ignominiously routed. Chairman Rainsford is an emi nently courteous and chivalrous man, and lie allowed no man to sit while a woman stood. It was a deligiitful scene. We always re, joice to seo ease loving men routed. "And they began with shameto take the lower seats." The ladies stuck manfully-we call attention of Mrs. Virginia Durant Young to the expression-until all the eight governors had scattered pricelessl pearls of wisdom. The only can didate, however, who-got a bou quet was the lHon. Joel E. Brunson who received it with the smile of a cast iron skeleton The Hon. John C, Sheppard was the vicarious bear . er of this bouquet. Imagine the . mastor of an ancient Phoecian feast presenting flowers to the skeleton t that said, "To this thou must also w come." Like a great many othier b little incidents of the morning it a 'was very funny. And there were w other cast iron skeletons. And a few like "Brother Crafford" and But ler I-are were roly poly, and all ei the eight governors began by ener. gotically and laboriously compli *men ting ''the ladies." Most of them did it like an elephant planting their feet in a bad of roses. Gov.,. Manning, we porceived that women love him instinctively and at ab glance, did rie to the heighth of f saying "fair and noble women." When the last governor, Herr " Crafford, had gracefully subsided, with tile wave of a turkey tail fan, it was 1 o'clock, and the ladies c rose in a body and modestly ro- u tired, followed by the circus per formners and the rabble. Aid then followed more scenes that were more social, social financi'al than i political. The Episcopal ladies Ssold ice cream and sherbet beneath the trees near the court house stepA.( In the broad hall of the floor of the court house the free lhbrary ladies, at a table at mile long, sold dlelicious dinners, with cucumbers. And under some French Mulber- 1 * rios hard by, two renowned barbo cue chefs sold fragrant ribs of mnut t ton, fatal onion sauce andt hash of 20 horse power.- It was a very gay and brilliant scene, irredlescent in) fact. Aind all of these vendors purveyors sold all their wares and could have sold a great deal more. The State. campaigners were in1 ti ouble, in fact in bitter ,and inex proPsileCanguish. They dared not silight eith61' one of the life giving food1 institu tions. 'l'he Episcopal ladles, the free library ladies and the barbecue chefs had them all marked, tagged, They had to go from one of the cabattoirs to the other, and pay out ~coin at each receipt of custom. Consequently the cast iron skeletons were un.. comfortably full of mutton, hash, omon01 sauce, chickenpio, potato sal ad, ice cream, sherbet, and two egg cake.
