He said the business interests or
the country demand that those
who work for them shall not
drink. 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,

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

- .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

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

of Georgia, says of Kodol for Dyapepsia:

portant one in 20 years. The
tariff is to be revised and the
currency system changed. 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

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 North, lie referred to"Shoe"

in which he ran and was elected
governor on a free trade and free

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

why the farmers are not getting
a legitimate prioe tor their cot

said the South should manufacture
every bale it produces.

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

these burdens to bear. But notwithstanding
their weight, the

the line for the farmers to sell
their cotton to relieve the situa

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.

do not care anything about cotton.
Thoy wear silks, linen,
etc., and not cotton clothes. 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. The Confederate
