a day or two ago. at McCormlck. He Is only
about teu years of age. and Inta been preaching
or three years. He preached twice a day
In tbe Baptist church In regular orthodox
aiyle. Tbere was nothing sensational In bis
utterances, nor theatrical In his delivery.
Though bla educational advantage* have
been very limited, [about eight months,] bla
'auguage aud prouounclatlou are perfect.
In tbe pulpit he Is all preacher; outside of tbe
acred desk he la all boy. While preaching,
bis entire make-up couforms to the requirement*
of the business In Imnd. When not

aud he Is boy all over, to all Intents and purpose*.
He becomes the bare footed boy,

Meaara. McLaurin sad Tillman did not exactly
debt at Uaffney. but Ibey made a lively
incident. Me**ra. Til I man and IfeCamn made
tbla Incident oue better, and uow Meaarw.
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. Hemphill and Latimer forfeit
their deposit of flu antil morning.
