Hemphill and Latimer h?w laid lion a little more aeverely and actually come to blow*. It happeued at the campaign meeting laat Tburaday, and Mr. Frank P. Cooper, tbe special correspondent of the Columbia Htate and News aod Courier tel In tho atory as follow! : At the senatorial and congrtaalonal candl date*' meeting held here lo tbe court booae to-day, Congrcwiman Latimer waa lb* laat apeaker for toe Colled Hiate< aenate. When bia turn came, the dinner hour having arrived, a majority ol tbe 3W? audience left. Latimer did not want to apeak lo the depleted crowd aod aaked permlaalnu of tbe chairman to be allowed to poaipone bta speech until after iiInner. Tbe matter waa left to a vole, and It waa unanimously ordered that the apeecb be poaiponed an requested. I<atlmer Jumped up and aald : "I want yon all to come bade here and bear ate, for Ibeee Ave lawyers have been Jumping on one poor farmer, and I am going to anawer them." Aa tb?y were leaving tbe bar ol tbe oourt room, Hemphill aald: "Latimer, you ought not lo aay tbat, for none ol ua have been Jumping on you today, and you know It. It haaalwaya been our rule to end a meeting before we atop, and It will oot be right to infringe upon toe nine 01 uie Congrats men." Lalltner?You want to make me speak to empty benebes; you care nothing lor tbe congressmen. Hemphill?I do care for tbe congressmen, and yoo enow It. By Ibis time they were facing eacb other, and both very angry. Latimer?I know tiki don't care for them. Hemphill?U?d d?u you you know that Is not true. Latimer then drew back and bit Hampblll a Mvere, stunning blow on the cbeek. Haveral men Jumped In between them end tbe driving blow sent by Hempblll at his antagonist fell short of lis m?rk. Hemphill than grabbed bis umbrella and triad to bit Latimer over the bend oI tbe Interfering men, bnt be conid not reach him. Heveral man grabbed bold bold of both antagonists, who wars making d?sper?te efforts logelat eacb other, and In tbe scuffle Hampblll wsa pushed bark between two cbalra In the Jniy box, bnt waa instantly helped to bis feci again. This ended tbe Incident aa far as tbls correspondent saw and beard. It is rumored tbat llamnhlll InlInured IjtLlmpr out of the COUN room and naked hltn why h? track him, sod Latimer replied ' because y. u cnr*ed me." To which Hempblll replied: "I did doi curse yoo." Latimer mid: "Well, If you did not curse me, I apologise." This latter statement la mere hearsay, hut the first part la testimony and was heard and Mr It unwed by many. The whole atlMlr was totally anexpeeted, for doling the eutlra campaign there has not been any controversy to amount to anything between these two gentlemen, either off or on tbe stand. Both Hempblll ant L*tlmer ware notified to appear before Mayor Little ibia evening, and, peodlng an Investigation, both were required to pot np <10 uacb for thelrappearanee At a late boor tonight Mayor Little decided to allow Messrs.
