M'SWEMEY'SPLED&S HADE A? BAMBERG. Red Hot Meeting in One of the Baby Counties. MORE SPIRIT IN THE MEETING. W. D. Makes Flutter at liamey-. Coley Criticises "Muster . i ly Out" Jim-Miles Corks ?? Up Blinky. Mr. Etheridge eent word he was quite unwell at Batesburg, and Col. Wharton opened the ball for the railroad commission. He made a speech along usual lines, and touched on the rates on water melons which are raised in this county. He laughed at the "long haul and short haul" rates. He was asked by a gentleman in . tue audience if the South Carolina commission could arrange rates beyond the State lines. He said not but it could cooperate with the commissions of other States. B. B. Evans said that the pass ing of the South Carolina and Georgia railroad iuto the hands of the Southern was contrary to the constitution and that road wiis now charging rates 25 to 50 per cent, higher The railroad commission is reponsible for allow ing one railroad to absorb a com peting line. It is cheaper to haul cotton to Denmark and ship it to Wilmington than to ship it from Barnwell to Charleston. He continued his charges of neglect of the^people by the railroad commission. When the people of Denmark protested against the depot placed there, the commission didn't even answer the protest. He said that the commission had not reduced the rate on wheat. It had asked the railroads to do so. He said that Garris (who lives at this place) 13 a good com missioner. Senator Pettigrew said he was from the county which blazed the way for other new counties, Florence. He wanted to be the mediator between the railroads and the people. To the truck farmers he said that there were rates which are unfair. The ex press companies are under the supervision of railroad commission . and need regulating. Mr. T. K Berry said in reply to suggestion that freight rates should be as passenger rates that pas senger rates that passengers don't - have to be stored in warehouses. He then made his ice cream and hot chocolate promises. (Laugh ter.) He offered free freight rates. Seriously, he spoke of his j -proclivities. He told his Xiish j joke, as he bad not told it here1 two years before. Mr. W. D. Mayfield said his purpose is not to hurt the railroads. The railroads are not enemies of the people. Are these charges and complaints against the commission . true? In reply it is said that the law is insufficient. W. D. Evans-Interstate law. . Mayfield-If the State's iaw is sufficient to allow the commission to offer reduction pu some com modities, it is sufiicent to make reductions on all. COTTON FAC?ORY TRUST. Mayfield said that capital is leaving the State because it cannot get rates on cotton. C. W. Garris, railroad com missioner, who was seated in the audience questioned this state ment. Mayfield replied that he 'had it from the papers and from the directors themselves. Garris replied, "If you refer to Mr. Montgomery and the Pacolet mill, he told the commission that he would build a new mill in Georgia on account of labor." Mayfield wanted to know why the mills now running buy cotton from Alabama instead, of in the lower part of South Carolina. Garris-Because of the attempt to form a trust to beat down prices. If you refer to Lucas at Laurens, he tried to get the mills in Spar tarburg and around to form a trust to fix prise of cotton, and he declined to buy it at regular rates from wagons in Laurens. (Applause.) Mayfield concluded his speech without further interruption. . W. D. Evans warmed up today and acquitted himself with credit. He.said that when he went on the board he found high rates on many commodities. They had reduced rates on fertilizers, then reduced joint rates on shipmentE within the State, reduced rates on shingles, and on cotton, at the request of this same Mr. Lucas. This did not look like they were doing nothing. The rate on wheat had been confirmed. The law requires a 30-days notice and op portunity to be heard. AIN'T KNEE DEEP. Baruey Evans was like Jas? Talbert's mill pond-covers al] creation and ain't knee deep in 1 any place. Barney had said he t came from fighting stock, buf he. ] never went to Cuba until the war ( was over, and then to accept office 1 under Republicans. Out of the i 8,000 bales of cotton sold at ! Bamberg this season 4,000 went to I Georgia because labor could not 1 live in some places and work ?D < factories. The altitude is .1,385 feet where he went. Montgomery 1 had said too that all cotton in ? South Carolina would be consumed locally. Today Barney says Garrie i is all right. When he goes to York . county, Wilborn will be all right, : and when . he gets to Marlboro W. D. Evans will be handled lightly. (Laughter.) Before this i campagin is over he expects to be accused of responsibility for the critical situation in China. . Barney's brother had introduced a bill to stop tho sale of the South Carolina and Georgia railroad, but the legislature, which is the people, had killed it. NOBLE ANCESTRY. Col. Jim Tillman said that here in 1888 a famous deadlock was broken and his father was nominat ed for congress. "My father" had advocated Bmall counties for half a . century, and "my uncle . had brought Bamberg into the world. Ha was not here wearing "my father's breeches, but on his own merits He had never hold political office, but in every other office he had held he bad been promoted, which he could not say of his opponents. Auy president of a school debating socity is competent to preside ovar the senate. All favor white man's money educating white man's children, but he only had advocat ed keeping prohibition counties from getting dispensary profits. In reply to Winkler's advising bim to drink Harris water instead of water mixed, he said that if that old Chin?se emperor were alive today and were to chop off the head of every candidate who drinks liquor there wouldn't be a one of them left. He got off a joke on Wink 1er which caught the crowd. Col. Hoyt says the dispensary liquor is the most infamous stuff ever sold in South Carolina. He doesn't know what be is talking about. He never took a drink iu his life. Col. Livingston wired regrets business engagements. THE MERRY JESTER. Mr. Winkler said it was always well to have a jester to throw fun into the campaign. Tillman tells these jokes for fun, for he is just running for fun. He is taking his father's advice and keeping out of politics. Winkler said he was not running upon the demerits of his competitors. He had not said an kind word of them. He was running on his record. He denied that he had anywhere advocated a high license system. He then made a dispensary speech, saying that he was willing to let any county vote whether it would have dispensary or prohibition. The interest we are taking in the common schools is the best sign of South Carolina's prosperity and progress. He asserted th at he had always favored letting the profits go to the respective counties, and prohibition conn I ies get none, He had introduced a bill, and it is now a law, and each county gets its pro rata share. Col. Sloan said he hoped the shower which was then pouring would not wash out his majority in Bamberg. He tried to get ahead of Blease and Tillman in saying nice things about the ladies present and of Bamberg county. He had helped play nurse for this baby county. He referred to the music of the spindles in Bam 4BCOW?ew?>je; j?, M m-*.- IHM?--WM is only a symptom-not a disease. So are Backache, Nervousness, Dizziness and the Blues.

No swell New York jatisfied unless he goet Delmonico!^ and gets a Bai >r Barnwell watermelon or ."aloupe. He favored local o] including Ivgh license. Sloan spoke with difficult} throat being very sore, wanted to see a school hou ?very cross roads. Cole L. B lease was the ne; the bat. He spoke of the pitality of the pretty town, went Col.

(Applause.) had introduced a bill to pensi darkey, William Rose, a vel of three wars. He had intro the bill by request. It was re ed. unfavorably and was ki He had not favored it or ^ for it. MATTER OF VERACITY. Tillman taxed him with faith iu introducing a bill w he could not support. Blease retorted that Ser Tillman, Congressman Talber any of the legislators pre would inform him.that ?eque legislators introduce by Teq bills which they do not suppo: Tillman said that the record rot show that the bill was intro ed by request. Blease replied that it was published in the journal, but nevertheless. Tillman insisted on his dec Blease became vehement exclaimed : "As to my veracity yours, I will leave it to th? pei of South Carolina. I will 1< it to the people of Edgefiek? cou I have no chaperoue in this i and do not go arouud telling 'my father' or of the beloved, uncle,' Senator Tillman." There was frequent appls during the coloquy. GARY GOT FLOWERS. Frank B. Gary said he would his Baptist brethren settle kind of wine used at the marri feast. That is not the is? whether it was wine or pers mon beer. He then with preliminary waded iuto the liq question. He characterized ( Hoyt's candidacy an insidi attack against the dispensary 1 Col. Hoyt disclaimed coaliti and his word waB uuimpeachal But certain men are support him because they know that life will be squeezed out of dispensary law if he is elect Public sentiment will not ki down blind tigers. There must a paid constabulary under t dispensary. He was in favor common schools and State collei Wherever there is a cotton nc there should be a textile sehe The result would be that natr would be trained to paying pc tions now filleded by aliens. 1 objection toso many in his fara aspiring to office was answered the statement that the Pinckue and the Rutledges were not debi red on that account. He conch ed by saying that he would enfoi every lfw or be found trying faithf_ ..y as he had done in t legislature. He received a bouqu A gentleman in the audier wanted to know if he was marri or single. Gary replied. "Yes. sir; I ha a very handsome wife at hon and I am anxious to get home her." (Cheers). Same Party-Have you children? Gary-No, air. (M( cheers.) Patterson was then introduc? He said he had no daily ne wspapc to boost him. He depended the people, not the newspapc and a few politicians. He sa that at each campaign meeting had to conten for time. (] consumes an hour and a quarl with his little piece.) After a few remarks regardh Col. Hoyt's platform, he charg that McSweeney is not a friend the dispensary law and for th reason there is a prohibition cant date. He then paid hie respects to M Sweeney. He had repeated th the Charleston hotel bas a bin tiger in full blast and yet M Sweeney does not order his co; stables to raid the place. Tl blind tigers had voted for prob bitioo, but would support M Sweeney this time. ' THIS WAS WARM. There was a spirited colloqi between Patterson and McSweei.e The "latter defied Patterson i make out his charges again tigers and he would have the] prosecuted. ' There were frequer cheers for McSweeney an Patterson. "Did you ever drink liquor i Troeger'e in Columbia while yo were governor?" aBked Pattersoi "The man'who says so ie a liar, exclaimed McSeeney, vehemently and th* crowd yelled. Patterso dropped the subject. McSweeney also defied Patterso to prove by Tillman that be wa not responsible for turniu; Tolbert out oftbecusteom bous There was agr?ai deat of confusion and Senator Tillman just laughed Patterson did not put the questioi to him. He said that Senator Tillraai had appointed him master o Barnwell and Col. Aldrich ha< nothing to do with it. He ha( written to the county paoeri advocating putting the master') office in the primary and it wai not a slap at him. He again askpc McSweeney if Charleston favjrec the dispensary law, and if Charles ton would vote for McSweeney He accused Gary of evading the FEARFUL LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE. ii Every Person on the Train Perished Save Those on the Pullman Car. ALL mm mm Atlanta, June 24.-The train left Macon at 7:10 and was due in Atlanta at 9:45 last night. Mc Donough was reached on time. At ibis point connection is made for Columbus, j.?d here every night the Columbus train is coupled on and hauled through to Atlanta. Last night, however, for the first time in many months, the Colum bus train was reported two hours lata on account of a washout on that branch and the Macon train started on to Atlanta without its Columbus conneciinn. Tremendous rains cf daily oc currence for the past two weeks have swollen all screams in this part of the south and several wash outs have been reported on the different road?. Camp's creek, which runs into the Ocmulgee, was over its banks and its waters had spread to all the lowlands through which it runs. Ab^ut a mile and a half north of McDonough, the creek is somewhat near the South ern's tracks and, running along side it for some distance, finally passes away under the road by a heavy stoue culvert. A cloud burst broke over that section of the country about 6 o'clock last night and presumably, shortly after dark, washed out a section of the track, nearly 100 feet in length. Into this the swiftly moving train plunged. There was not a note of warn ing. The storm was still raging and all the car windows were closed. The passengers, pecure as they thought, and sheltered com fortably from the inclement weath ?r, went to deatn without 'an in stant's warning. The train, con sisting of a baggage car, second class coach, first class coach and a Pullman sleeper, was knocked into kindling wood by the fall. The wreck caught fire a few minutes after the fall and all the coaches were burned ?except the Pullman car. Every person on the train except the occupants of the Pullman car perished in the disaster. Forty two in all. dispensary question today. He concluded by reviewing his record and leaving the case in the hands of the people. "LITTLE MACK" CHEERED. McSweeney was received with cheer?. He had hoped to have but a few words to say of the improvements of Bamberg since the "deadlock convention of 1888 when Geo. D. Tillman, Robert Aldrich and D. S. Henderson were candidates for congress. He bad broken the deadlock by voting for that grand old Roman, Geo. D. Tillman. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens arr. bi ti o n ; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If thc child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as mosi people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It ls sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar, sizes. You may have a| sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell- Homo ot smmp-Boot lng all about it.
