proved sensational in the extreme
It opened ?juietly in the open
house, which was onlv comfort a
t?Iv tilled.
county chairman l'urdy intro
duecd Senator McLaurin as tin
firspeaker. The Senator's ad
dress was eonsei vative. lie pun
tribute tc> the memory of Senatoi
Karle, and gave an aeeoiint of Itiown
political stewardship. mi
MeLaurin was warinlv received
and sat down with th 'pleasing as
surance of having made a ?r<?<??
impression.
Then the storm brok<. Kx
I* S Senator .John L m Irhy \va
introduced, and for three-?juarter
of an hour was enacted, asexcitim
scones as perhaps have ever heei
witnessed at a campaign mcetin
in this, or any other State. Thing
looked serious time and again
At one time Irhy and xcLauri
were only prevented from clinch
ing hy the interferei ce of thos
on the stage.
Irhy in his speech applied th
severest language 10 MeLaurin
an<l he came to the front.
When Irhy rose, the cheers f<?
MeLaurin wcr deafening. II
mndo an opening sally, Mcl.aurii
tnndo an apt aside, and the cheer
ing was such that Irhy, despit
repeated elTorts, could not go on
Then when chairman Purdy ?juiet
ed the cro-vd, he started out agai
by charging the crowd with trvin
to howl him down. lie said h
knew that it was all fixed up i
this hot-bed of Ilnskellism an*
conservatism. l'rettv soon h
aid lie did not care how many o
these city henchmen tried to pre
\enthim from speaking.

Irhy went on then and eharr.
terized MeLaurin as a ring treu.<
ed, striped and specked [>oliticiar
He charged him with dishonest
and with Iwing guilty of treoso
i:ud treachery. lie said that t!
foulest conspiracy thai ever exis
ed in this State was now in fori
and MeLnurin was the benefieinn
Finally, Mcl.anrin, who ha
turned pale, jumped up and face
him, Haying:
'Irhy, let's have an understaiu
ing right here. We have know
each other some time. Von ean
accuse mo of dishonesty. Yo
can't insult me in that way.'
The two men faced each othei
Irhy relented what they had sa'u
and added; 'I say further that i
| you hit 1110, you'll be hit Imok.'j
! At tliis junctor?, Kditor Appcl

he wopld have a reply, charlcs

! Irhy: 'No one hut a coward
would talk that way.'
Irhy replied that no one hut a
coward would insult a guest. Mr
n I'urdy and others got the men
I quieted, the house being in an
'uproar. When Irhy finished, mcLaurin
denounced the charge that
- I O
ho whs in a combine as absolutely
false. Irhy retorted that he
would prove it.
No other candidates appeared,
though Irhy said that other pled'
ges would he filed, and the fast
and furious meeting ended, having
. lasted only one hour and twenty
minutes.
Irhy said that he is in the fight
to succeed Meuiurin. and that he
will make an active campaign.

What South Carolina's CVngreio
man Have to Say About It.
Columbia, S. C. July - ? T\v?
lavs a^' McLaurin was the word
but since the advent <>i" ox-Sena
tor Irby in the senatorial field thei<
is a change.
The opinion expressed by c>
Clovernor Kvans that -Irby secuis
to have more friends than we
credited him with" appears to be
generally entertained and now
some of the politicians are trimming
their sails.
Here is what South Carolina's
congressman in Washington have
to say about it:
Mr Latimer said: 'I am not
committed, and I lold McLaurin
so yesterday. 1 have no conceal
mcnts in the matter. If McLau
rin's election means a combination
to defeat Tillman's re-election, 1
am against him. Cntil all doub'
in that direction is removed 1 have
nothing 1 i ray. and whilst I ma;
be fresh in legislative experience.

Senator M?1 auirin.*
Representative Taihert said: '!
haw nothing to savin llie matter.
The mention of n*y nnme in connection
with the sonalorship is the
unsolicited su truest ion of others
I promptly declined to cntertnh
it, and 1 don't care to discuss tin
present situation at this time.*
Representative Strait said: !
am responsible for the esc ol
i\. 11 ?
i :iiiit*11 s name as :i senatorial
candidate, and I represented tin
rontrolling -cntimonts in my on
urcssionnl district in asking hill
to he a candidate. It. will he
close race in my district hetweci
McLaurin and Irhy.'
Representative Stokes sa:d:
'Irliv'scandidiK-y seriously eoinpli
call's the situation. I :*!?y lias
Treat capacity as sin organizer,
lie was tlie only reform leader in
the state who succeeded in liar
moni/.iiiir fact:.ma! differences in
the party, and lias a strong personal
following."
Representative Wilson said: 'I
will he a siz/.in?r hot tiuht from
start to finish. Irhy is one of
MeLaurin's diseovcrors. He considered
him at one time the peer
of Calhoun and Ilavne in ability
and statesmanship, and MeLaurin's
chctoi ic il efforts in adulation
of Irhv had mneh to do with hipheivmenal
political career.'
