He declared that prohibition would carry in South Carolina "tomorrow" by a majority of 30,000. The question must soon be settled, as it is bigger than the tariff or cotton issues. If elected to the Senate he will Btand op anl help to make laws to advance general prohibition. He closed by inviting his hearers to come to Washington to see him when he gets there and to bring their wives and children along, too. HON. o. B. MARTIN, OF COLUMBIA, was then introduced as another Senatorial aspirant. His introduction was an amusinu account of his place of birth, marriage, the different peaces he had taught school, etc. tie 9aid he came here six years ago a strauger, but nearly 1000 voted tor him and he hoped that, they were all living and doing well and had grown iu numbers. He complimented Lancaster on its improvement and growth. He spoke of the tariff and pointed out what, one Senator might be to accomplish toward its re vision. He said it was wrong to protect capital and at the same time turn immigration loose in thi9 country. Our foreft thers came here a3 genuine b^meseekers and made good, ItOAf 111 Alt i ^ 4 w UDUI ui uil AZrfC U""^ wut UUW tUUU* | sands of immigrants come over to this country purely on a la* bor basis, haviug no particular place in view. They are without the desire for home life. Their object is to make moneyand fo back from whence they came, t is not possible for them (o be patriotic citizens. It is wrong for manufacturers to be allowed to brine ship loads of immigrants to this country. He next gave bis well known views on the drainage question, which wnl one day work out its own solu tion. Referring to what another speaker had said about Senators not helping in the maiier 01 exposing ana punisn ing those guilty of "cotton leaks'', he expressed the belief that the gentleman was mistaken?that our Senators did render aid. At this juncture Col. Johustone at once arose and stated that what, he had said upon that point was said through ^ inadvertence aud that he there fore hastened to correct bimselt. Mr. Martin then gave an account of his public services?his record as State superintendent o; J education. He said over 1000 school houses have been built j throughout the country since he went in'o office and over 1200, libraries established. It elec'ed to tne Setia'e he would neglect no opportunity for helping the people. IION. R. O. RUETT, OF CHARLESTON, was the next candidate for the Senate introduced, being greeted with applause as he arose. Mr Rhett departed irom his usual campaign speech, delivering a purely patriotic address, one eminently appropriate to the day. Owing to ifs length,we will have to defer its publication until our next issue, when it will appear in full. It had evidently been prepared with gteat care and was read with telling force and emphasis. Before reading his very able and interesting paper however, Mr. Iihett had something to say about the relerences made to him by the other Charleston candidate. Mr. Grace. He showed his re. cord as a Democrat, has al ways been h Democrat and ex pecte to cootiaue one. He had i been honored as a Democrat by I his people In Charleston and by ' the people of the State. In hie election lor rnaonr i.f - .ui.jur VI VUWIOSIUU he was supported by Mr. Grace, who also supported him lour years ?go when he was elected a de!e*tate-at large to the national Democratic convention. Local reasons, he said, accouut for Mr Grace's present opposition to him. As to ship subsidy the speaker said that he w*9 against it, that he had studied the various bills upon the subject that vv*re pending before Congress and found that every one was a great steal for the ships of the North, tie favored how ever, (he building up of a grea* merchant marine, as the busire9s is now being done in foreign vessels. lie stauds tor the protection of American lab?r. He opposed free silver because to him. it meant the cutting of wages oue-half. He theretore didn't vote lor it. He said he was a plain business man and believed in business principles He also touched upon free trade. He said the country should be built up aliae?not one part at the expense of another. He discussed the present currency system, which is defective, lacking, among other things, the great essential 01 elasiicity. He instanced the difficulty of netting money during the last panic. He believes that currency should be issued on cotton and not aloue ou bonds. He is ODnoaed to cnn. centration, which l'-ads to plutocracy. He believes in State rights and self government. MR. E. D SMITH, OF FLORENCE, also a candidate for the Senate, followed Mr, Rhett. The eloquent champion of the cotton association io no stranger in Lancaster. He stated in his opening remarks that he had more than once stood where he then stood and diecuBSed questions of far more importance than those handled by the 4th ot July orators. There was a time when the people by their muscle made crops and sold them at prices named by others?a time when they oven had no voice in the making of laws. But the printing press, the telegraph and telephone extending through the country had driven back ignorance and the people are now seeing their rights and they are going to have them The masses ot the people are being educated and they will rotec' themselves against oppres-4on by the privileged cia-ses. Iu- tar Iff, he said, is not complex. It is simple in principle but complex in its application. It is a law passed by a majority who happened to be in tne North cutting out competition with other countries. He explained its practical operation and how the cotton grower is particularly hurt thereby, giving more than one niit illitetrnfinn Ha ^ - -- , Al.v? J U ili ped oh the 'damnable ship sub sidy" with both feet and declared that no Democrat wou'd vote lor it. He thought that he was the only cotton man in the fight, but. found that there were others. He gave a rduning history of the great fi.'ht and success that the farmers through their organization had made. In 1904. when cotton dropped te 0 cents, who did it affect? Did the banker lower his rate of interest, or the Ibis is what Hon Jake Moore. State Warden of Georgia, says of Kodol for Dyapepsia: "E. O. DeWitt .t Go, Cliicnffo, III.?

Even the Republicans have a tariff revision plank in their recently adopted platform. He emphasized the influence that might be exerted by the right tind ot a Democratic Senator in modify, ing the tariff even should Con* gre?9 be Republican. New England manutacturers are now crying tor tariff revision, because the West is today getting more milk out of the Southern cow than they are. In the matter of the manufacture of shoes alone the We9t has gone far ahead of the North, lie referred to"Shoe" Douglass' memorable campaign, in which he ran and was elected governor on a free trade and free hides platform, and his failure to get any relief for lus people at the hands of Roosevelt becau-e he was a Democrat, and to tne tact that a Republican was in the following election elected governor on the identical platform. But the Republican, he said, met with no better success than Gov. Duglas, because "Uncle Joe" Cannon said, "No You of the North have been milking the Southern cow long enough. Now we of the West ar? dninir milking." Mr. Evauaexplained why the farmers are not getting a legitimate prioe tor their cot ton, the Soath'a chief staple. He said the South should manufacture every bale it produces. .Now only one fourth of the crop ib usea m tne united States and Canada, the remaining i giving to other countries. One thing wanted ia a bigger market lor cotton and its products. There I iwv uartiiut u"uniiuin^ lfl0 fight that he ha9 been carrying on for the people four years, in which work he has spent practically what little lortune he had. nON JOHN GARY EVANS, OP SPART-ANBURG, the last of the Senatorial speakers, was next introduced. He first referred to the day and its celebration, particularly in the North, by the booming ot cannon, firing of crackers and by tongues of 4th of July orators? the spellbinders. He illustrated the effect or lack of effect of bombastic 4th of Jubv orations by an Irish joke. The question at last is, what could Mr. A or Mr. B. do in the Senate if given an opportunity. He weut on to relate what counts in the Senate. Before the war Southern statesmen controlled the govern ment. They were men who were respected and listened to. The speaker mentioned a number ot son a of the Sou'h who were prominent in the councils of the nation. This section should now he represented in Washington by its ablest and best men. The election this year is the most im | merchant cut the price of goods, or the railroad eu' i?9 fares, or 'he lawyer or doctor reduce his fees ? No. Tne farmer had all these burdens to bear. But notwithstanding their weight, the tarmer9 stood together and they "aw cotton go back to 10i cent9. In 1908, when the panic was on, the word weut all ihftwar Hnwn the line for the farmers to sell their cotton to relieve the situa tion, but they didn't do it?they stood firm and now they are masters of the situation. While others are saying what 30 and and bo will be done, he and those who have been working with him have already been instrumental in doing something. He also paid his respects to the New York Exchange, denouncing its 1 gambling practices. He replied I to Col. Johnstone's remarks as I to holding 1, 2, or 3 crops. He said babies are born naked every jday and had to be clothed, that women had to have frocks, etc. I He said he wanted the privi lege of standing on the floor of t ho VIa n n4-/\ '1 - i-.? ? 1 We offer the cash trad days, ioooyards of 7 ] 1000 yards good heavy 25 pieces A.

He explained how the use of cotton goods in foreign countries might be greatly iucreased, thus help'ng both the producer and the manufacturer. He said he would ever plead for justice for the Confederate soldier, that his father and 16 uncles were in the Confederate army.
