Very 1'roud of Sending Al ined to M order ('itizens ? Outlines Senatorial Campaign? Not a Peace nndlTnu ty Man. Special to News and Courier. Sumter, Aug 4?Tlio pie-nie at which Senator Tillman spoke today began as a pear* and unity love feast, but at the end there was lots of ginger, and the senator, who had declared in his morning speech that the people were getting along pretty well, and he would say nothing to raise old issues or revive old animosities,and protested against the heavy coats of "butter" that had been laid on him by l>r 11 T Abbott, the reform senator from this county in 1890, in his introductory speech, boldly asserted in the afternoon, in roply to a speech of Representative E D Smith, that he was no goodygood peace and unity man, and that there had already been too much of that sort of thing. In the afternoon Congressman Stokes made a'jspeech and then Representative E I) Smith was called to tho stand. lie proceeded to rub olF the "butter" by going for the dis|>ensary and the management of Winthrop and Clemson colleges. Senator Tillman replied in a speech.nearly an hour long that had all of the earmarks of an 1890 campaign meeting. He repudiated the demand that he discharged his duties in Washington and run State affairs also. Ho said ho would be a candidate for re elec tion and would take a hand in the nexi campaign, stumping every county in the State for the dis^ pensary if necessary. He would lick the opponents of the system out of their hoots or go down with its ruins. He asserted that the dispensary was not intended to ho a moral institution, hut a place where people who wanted to drink could get all they wanted of a good <1 .-ality and the State receive the profits. It was forced on him, anyway. Ho found the devil loose when he went into oll.ee and he did not attempt to chain him. The State had to choose between prohibition and the dispensary, and as the prohibitionists were a set of hypoct its and cowards, the choice fell on the dispensary. He also went hack to the first time the dispensary constables made a raid in Sumter. He said he selected honest, sober, christian men as constables, and when lie sent tlieni to Sumter to raid Moms*' blind tiger they were mobbed and rotten egged. When he saw that he had to light the devil with fire, he up pointed as constables men who were honest and had sand in their craws to stand up and fight. Among many other things he said that he was no peace and unity man and the lines were still here and would lie drawn. The men who had formed the old rings and rode into ofiice over tho peo pie's hacks were still trying to ride into office and would do it if not watched. H. (J. (). Charles Yager, of Brandt, 1'a-, aged 40 years, killed his three little children Friday morning, cutting their throats. IIo then cut his own throat and died in a few minutes. * TO SAVK 11 IS PEOPLE FROM THEMSELVES. Gov Candler Goes at Night ti Ne.vnon, Takes Command of Company, and Maintains Law.
