Army ol Bal?a?^Hunters Were at Cony &nr. ITS FUNNY HOW CANDIDATES TALK. Fac?ityWith Which They Change Their Song to Suit the Different Audiences They Address. The State. Conway, July 14.-This is the Independent Republic of Horry, and today we looked into the honest facee of the industriou3 people who make it independent. The meeting was held in a tobacco warehouse in which a big opening aile will take place in a few dayB. The stand which the demagogues pounded was a tobacco hogshead. It is funny how candidates do talk. At Florence they were all railoai men, at Marion all tobac conists or something of the sort, and today they vied in the attempt to flatter the yeomanry of Horry and to pin themselves to Scar borough. For he is the young orator who is running for congress, and he is idolized by these people of his county. There were fully 1,000 people here. No drunkenness, and in telligent attention to the spoai_".rc. The speeches were cut to half the usual time. Patterson protested and threatened the people with a matinee in the evening at which he would grind out more chin music throught his nasal phongraph. But the people must have warned him not to, for he left with the rest of the party. This is a McSweeney county, but Hoyt is jtrong. The meeting today i? the last until next Wednesday at Ben nettsville, Senator McDermott presided. Mr. J. P. Derham, comptroller al, was at home and welcomed the candidates for the several offices. Scarborough's name was-cheered. Derham denied the rumor that he is opposing Scarborough, He could not be so ungrateful. Gen. Floyd was here again, an nouncing the truce-armiesteice he calls it-between himself and Capt. . Rouse not to attend any meetings until Spartanburg. Col. Wharton said that they had been having a warm time in this race, but it would get hot when they get to "where the waters ' run." He entertained the crowd with some jokes. Commented on the poor schedules to Conway. Barney Evans began by regrett ing the time limit being reduced. The arrangement of schedules to Conway is a disgrace. Conway had-complained, but had gotten no relief. Put the proper men on the Railroad comission and the wrongs will be righted. W. D. Evans is riding on a passe contrary to law, and is liable to arrest and afine of $500. W. D. had said that he was using the pass to defend his administration. Gov. McSweeney has the right to the same thing then. Mr. T. N. Berry said that the Independent Republic is indepent because its people pay their debts and are honest. But it lost its independence three years ago when it was annexed to South Carolina and substituted dispen sary for prohibition. He wants to see the independence restored. Mr. W.D. Mayfield said that reilroad rates are such that vineyards, truck farms and tobacco factories cannot be made to pay in South Carolina. The rates should be such that the splendid woods of South Carolina forests could be converted into furniture. Mr. Pettigrew felt like he was at home in a tobacco warehouse and speaking accross a hogshead. He wanted to shake hands with com rades of Maxcy Gregg's regiment. W. D. Evans said that he was responsible for the nice little depot lately built J. ere. As lo his record he referred io Scarborough, Sena tor McDermott and Derham and to all alliancemen. The criticism of his record is like the North Carolina moldier who admitted that Virginia soldiers could beat Tai heels charging, foj a Virginian aad charged him 75 cents for a quart of buttermilk. He denied that he had said a' word about cutting time today. Etheredge still absent. Col. Hoyt was applanuded when he was introduced. He is a candidate on the prohibition platform From his youth up he had opposed the sale of liquor in any"form. He brought a greeting from tho furthest corner of the State, which had helped redeem it in J.S76. (Applause.) This was a prohibition county for many years. There are dis pensaries here now. Were they put here by the will of the people? No. At Greeleyville every citizen but one had petitioned for the closing of the dispensary and the coard refused to aboHsh it. If after an unsatisfactory ex perience of eight years, after all che scandals why should it be continued. Why not go back to 1892 when the State declared for prohibition. He is in favor of public schools. They must be fostered and im proved or the county cannot pro sper. He favored the . establish ment in each county of as many schools as will be necessary to teach all the people. No candi date for governor could feel greater sympathy for Confederate soldiers than himself, who b?ai s on his person six wouuds received in battle. Mr. Jerry Smith said that Horry county Las about $4,000 less for school fuuds since dispensary orofit8had been reduced to 10 per cent. How would Col. Hoyt rectify that? The colonel replied by dirpct taxation as the public Bchools must be kept up by all means. Mr. Smith then wanted to know where blind tigers got their whis key. The colonel replied from dis pensaries. He was applauded and received flowers. The bouquet boro this message : "The ladies of Horry are for you and against the dispensary." Walt Whitmau respected the people of the Independent Repu blic above all others. He ohalleng ed the crowd of candidates to let liquor be a side issue and discuss education. Whit said he didn't know wheth er Dispensaries could furnish all the blind tigers. (Laughter.) Why in Charleston they are as numerous as grocery stores. Prohibition will make more blind tigers than, are here now. He wanted to get elected1 so that he could hold curb on the legislature and take the $200,000 from col leges and give it to common schools. Whiskey money isn't good enough for these miserable colleges. "When you people turn me down again you turn down the best friend you have got in South Carolina," Direct taxation is the only way to restore that $200,000 dispensary fund. Frank B. Gary said that a county which requires no more than three hours of criminal court must be "B lawabiding people. In the words of Scarborough, Horry could not boast of her cotton factories, of her weaith, of her colleges, but she is proud of her manhood. (Applause.) The beet method of controlling liquor is through the dispensary. Col. Hoyt says it is a failure. It is not a failure, and if its enforcement has failed put the right man in the executive office. What did Col. Hoyt mean by saying that the friends of the dis pensary had brought the State in to degradation and dirt? Col. Hoyt said that he was not referring to all the friends of the dispensary,.but to the rottenness which had bean exposed last win ter in the Outz upheaval. Gary said that the people could construe Col. Hoyt's words as they want, but he denied that honest ? ? Women ? There are few women as beau- . tiful as they might be. Powder ?jj and paint and cosmetics don't ? make good looks.

Carolina shall not seek emolu and advancement on accoui his name, because relativee holding office in South Care . Mr. Gary held the crowd and was applauded. There was considerable fusion while Mr. Patterson speaking. He claimed rela ship with these people becaus Uncle Angus aud his father from Robeson county. His hibition friend will on the 28 August feel like the wrong fe at the baptizing-"like a fool." He concluded by ss that ho had a great deal more in his storage battery, he ,woui there in the afternoon and wt to speak some more. Gow. McSweeney was pleasa greeted. His references Scarborough created applause both. He didn't believe Hoyt could enforce prohib? When he first became govei he agreed to reduce the stabulary if he could get cities towns to aid him in enforcing law. He had received pr assurance and had reduced constabulary. AB to where b tigers get their liquor, he said lt is very easy for liquor tc brought here from North Caro] Before the law enforced, li* was brought here and peddled the streets. As to Charles whoever says that he, the gover is coguizant ol their identity, man tells, what he knows is so. As to the deficiency in pensary profits it should be n up by diect appropriation. As to cuttiDg off heads of .pensers who do not do their d the on us is on the people to e the proper representatives senator, as the selection of county boards is with them, earnestly declared that he done his duty, and is as compel as any mau in the race. He applauded. Col. Sloan said he had spo in many kinds of houses, but ne before in a tobacco warehoi which isa monument to the dustry of Horry county, referred his competence, in ligence and integrity to Scarl ough. Derham, McDermott ? Jerry Smith with whom he 1 served. He declared for loci option. If a county wants prob tion, it should have it ; if anol county wants dispensary it sbo have it; if another couuty wa high license, it should have There is a bigger question tl that of liquor. He wants to more churches and more sch houses. He had worked Winthrop, Clemson, Citadel a South Carolina college, but hi more deeply interested in the co mon schools. He was with men of Horry, and wept with th when the flag went down. Col. Blease said that he h voted for the appopriation of $2C OOO for the common schools. y wanted to see white childi educated.; White people's ta: for white children and not : "free niggers." If elected preside over the senate and call upon to cast the deeiding vote 1 tween dispensary and prohitic he would vote for dispensa: Between dispensary and hi license, he would vote for the d pensary. If a town wants a d pensary, it can vote it, but no boa pf control could put it on the: He favored biennial session of t legislature. It would save abo $40,000 annually. Col. Jim Tillman said he hi entered the race "at the request a number of prominent men whom the people had airea< given their suffrages." He hi not intended to be personal lo Cc Livingston, at Marion, when i said that Col. Livingston shou practice what he preaches. Cc Livingston had in turn been pe sonal. He had referred to tl threat to courtmartial Jim Til man. The speaker said that tl reason of it is because he ha ordered his men not to salute negro officer, and he had been pi under arrest for refusing to lc "his men" accept pay from a negr paymaster. Col. Livingston ha laughed at him for not going t Cuba. The courage of the Till mans is on record. On the Pa] metto Jment at Columbia ar the names of five Tillmans. H was applauded. Col. Livingston said he was sorr the uppleasant incident had occurr ed. He dismissed it in a manh way. He had nGver discounted i Tillman's courage. As to when blind tigers get their supply, hi said his county has neither blinc tigers or dispensary. If ho shoulc ever be called upon as presiding officer of the senate to cast tho de ciding vote after the people of i county through its senator ask foi prohibiten, he would give it tc tqem. He wanted to emulate the example of Scarborough. Jim Tillmrn wanted to ask. him a question. Col. Livingston stated that there are no Hind tigers in Marlibjro. A dispensary constable had told him that in Marlboro at the last term of court two blind tigere plead guilty and five cases were carried over, and Col. Liv ingston had represented two of of them. Was that true? Col. Livingston replied that it was. It is easier to convict a blind tiger in Marlboro than any other law breaker and the punishment was heavier. He had represented two of them, and had advised them to plead guilty. Ho would always advise them to plead guilty in Marlboro. (Applause.) Mr. Winkler referred his candi dacy to those in this section with whom he had served. He said that he had heard a representative man from Marlboro say that he had seen more drunkenness in Beu nettsville in one day than in Co lumbia the whole time of the I legislature. What had Col. Livingston to say to that. He had voted for-the hundred thousand dollars for eommon schools. He. is an honest man, a sober mau, and if elected he would return his commission at the end of his service without a blot. Consul General Ho Yow. San Francisco, July 13-Consul General Ho Yow, representing the Imperial Government of China in this city, has sent to the Chamber of Commerce a communication ex pressive of his regret at the out breaks in China, which have broken the cordial relations of the two peoples. He said the trouble was especially unfortunate, com ing at this particular tims when the future was big with promise for an immense business between the coast and China, and added: "Amid the turmoil it is com forting to know thot the Imperial Government has at all times been earnest in its desire to suppress the assailants, has shown utterly no sympathy with the mobs. Its views and its purposes, and will undoubtedly, when order is again restored, punish the officials with the severity which is their due. "The Government of China ie favorable to progress and desirous of extending through the Empire the light of Western knowledge. "That this development must go on, that neither Boxers' revolt, mob violenco. nor opposition by high or misguided officials can swerve or crush it down, isa truth recognized on an instant'a reflec tion." The Annexation of Cuba. Washington, July 13-Secretary Root to-day, in discussing the coming Constitutional Convention in Cuba, expressed himself quite positively on the question of an nexation. In reply to a question be said that the subject of annexation, or any other subject forthat matter, might be brought up before the convention, but that, in his opin ion, Cuban annexation, if it.cnme at all, was not imminent just now. Said he : "My own experience in Cuba leads me to believe that the desire for independence is both strong and general among the peo ple. I do not think they want an nexation, even supposing that we want them. Under the Congres sional declaration we are in houor bound to give them independence first. If subsequently they wish annexation that is a matter for them to determine. . But it should be determined when they are in a position absolutely independent of us. Even then, as I have suggest ed, it is a case where it.takeB twp to make a bargain." !;!". *? Bad Blood-Cure Free !
