Patterson's Charges Against GovMcSweeney Fall Flat What the Other Candidates Have to bay. Since our last report the candidates have visited the counties of Dorchester, Charleston, Colleton, Beaufort, Hampton. Barnwell and Bambere, in each of which they were cordially received and given a patient hearing. The speeches made at all the above places were substantially the same as published k*t week. At Walterboro Mr. Patterson took a hand primary to see how many supporters he had in the crowd of three hundred. About thirty hands were miiot liarp llim AAU70U) n MW* W ? as he did not a3k for the negative side of the question. At Beaufort, Capers said McMahan was an imperialist, in that he wanted to appoint county superintendents and faculties of the county normals; also that State summer school faculty are vUWikUCxii bcauucio. MoMahan replied that there was a movement to take elections of county superintendents ou*; of the hands of the people in order that "jack-leg" politicians could not keep out trained and expert teaohers. Ihis would not affect efficient superintendents now in offiee. W. D. Evans rendered an account of stewardship. Ee had served six years. A fellow in the gallery had objected to a marriage because he wanted the "gal" himself. That was the way with his opponents. ? Col. Wharton referred to Beaufort's record in overcoming large majorities. "Let them move hell if they want, but don't let them move the dry dock," he said, in paraphrasing another candidate's joke. B. B. Evans said that'Beaufort'shar bor is useless as a point of shipment, as the town is "bottled up by the Coast Line. He renewed his charge that W. D. Evans had written to Lucas, presi dent of the Laurens mill, that he was ; not responsible to the legislature but to j the people. He had the applause. , The gubernatorial revenue cutters } then got under headway, chasing blind j tigers. McSweeney was well received, j He hadrlived in the neighboring county, had rn.aa.ried in Beaufort county and ? had always stuok by E?.aufort in her \ trials. His speech was about the same ( as at Charleston. He made an appeal ( against lynch law. He would have had $ the notorious scoundrel Thomas tried ^ and hanged long ago, and he decried de- g lays in court in sacn neiaoas crimes. ? flo advocated an improved arsenal for j ^*he Beaufort artillery. (Cheers). He ] jpKed any of his opponents to have one single word against his official record. x Col. Hoyt told of his record since j 1876, through 1890 and down to the ] present day as a servant of the Demooratio party, without asking Tor office. ( He had been one of those to petition ] for the prohibition election in 1S92 f whieh led up to the dispensary law. ] He opposed high license as he op- j posed the dispensary (Cheers.) There < is now ten times as much liquor drunk ^ in Greenville oounty'outside of the city , as under prohibition. The blind tiger3 , buy liquor from the dispensarv. The h demoralization of upper Carolina is forty timeB as great as under saloons. Mr. Patterson without much prelimi naries began to discuss the issues in the campaign."' He made the dispensary the main topic and defended it as "hfl diil at Oraneetmre. Col. Hovt had asked him did nine tenths of the" Bap- 1 tists of the State drink liquor, and Patterson in the course of remarks said that a lot of them do and if all the Baptists who drink liquor be turned out there would not be many left in that church, He wanted to know if it were worse for him, vice president of the Baptist convention, to advjcate dispensary than for Col. Hoyt who had been president to advocate coalition between prohibition and high license as he did \ * ^ i TT _ v j in an editorial last iaii. ne cnargea McSweeney rwith evading the dispen- 1 eary issue and covering it up with local matters. When he said there were only four constables in Charleston some fellow said that was too many (Cheers.) Patterson showed that 20 persons in .Beaufort use revenue licenses. This is evidence of violation of the dispenary law. His speech was very nearly the original, but the sensational parts were left out and itvas better therefor. Mr. Grary made a speech along the I usual lines. Yesterday Col. Hoy t had charged that he, liary, fcad not voted f for the Robinson local option bill. He a did not recall the purport of that bill , but had voted for the Archer bill, ( which i9 almost identical with his platform. Gary's applause was next *.hat ) of McSweenev. The candidates for lieutenant governor then took the stump. About 15 , voters and the negro band were left for them to talk to and it was nearly midnight when Capt. Jennings pronounced the benediction. ( The campaigners organized in order to allot the time for speaking at the several points to be visted. Col. Hoyt was selected as chairman and Ellison "*1 Capers secretary. The candidates are never quite satisfied with allotment of time. Hampton County had her campaign meeting Thursday. Governor JMcSweeney gave a cordial welcome to the candidates to the homes of Hamp? ton. He made no speech, but simply asked the people to take him on his rec ord. Col Hoyt was greeted with hand-clapping. A number of ladies in the audience were supplied with beautiful bouquets and this evidently inspired Col Hoyt, for be made a very earnest speech and, as was suspected, he was the favored of the fair sex. In regard to his editorial of last winter, in which he had advocated the coalition of all opponents of the dispensary, he said that he had agreed to it on account of the Prohibition minority of 25 to 140 in tne .Legislature, .tie naa i done so that there might be a repeal of J the dispensary, followed by prohibition, cess today alth< Why is it that Mr Patterson's services cheers b? his s to South Carolina and His pre-eminent MeSweeney 1 ability have not commended him to the Eampton he h people?
