Manning Meeting Long and
Qniet.
Nothing Startling From Any of
the Campaigners.
Special to The State.
I
Manning, Jane 27.?*The
crowd at this place surpassed all
for endurance. The pyrotechnics
started at 11 o'clock and lasted
nearly seven hours. There wore
about 700 in the crowd wheu it
was largest, and when it coneluded
there were at least 200.
McSweeney led off. lie re^
ferred to his success as a business
man, and said ho had tried to
give a business man's administration.
He believed that he had
uone more tor the dispensary than
had been accomplished by any
other governor.
He had selected his constabulary
carefully. The men who
were making flimsy charges
against him just wanted to get
into office. McSwecncy had boen
received without demonstration,
but was cheered when he recited
his staud in the Pons caso. Ho
denied that he had failed to enforce
the law in Charleston. He
did not claim the credit for finding j
the <lBlack" papers, but the
papers were found on his recommendation.
It is absolutely un- !
true that he has any connection
with Charleston blind tigers, and
they will rote for him as u business
man. Charleston will support
Ben Tillman, too. This is
where McSweeney made his first
speech on enteriug politics, four
years ago. He concluded amid
cheers.
Col Hoyt said he had been a
business man twice as long as
McSweeney and had never made a
failure. He then reviewed the '
enactment of the dispensary law. j
There was more rowdyism in bar
rooms than in dispensaries, but
barrooms were numerous. He
had protested against the enact
ment of the dis^nsary law, but j
when it was passed he had always
rged its enforcement. Prohibi ,
tion may havo failed to prohibit,
but because most of the towncouncils

with it. A prohibition governor
can do nothing without a prohibition
legislature.
Voice?And you won't have a
prohibition legislature.
Col Hoyt?Just wait until the
28th of August, my friend, and
yon will see. (Choers.)
Col Hoyt said that in the Manning
Times last week was an editorial
charging Hoyt with being
in coalition with high license.
That statement is untrue. (There
were cheers for Hoyt and some
for the Manning Times).
Editor Appelt said he had commented
on pn editorial in The
South Carolina Baptist and he had
uever heard Col Hoyt deny it.
Appelt continued that The Baptist
had said that the stillest high
licence contest it had had was with
(Joi Iloyt. (Cheers for Appelt.)
Col Hoyt explained that Dr |
Keys wrote the editorial roferred
to, and he himself had disavowed J
support of high license. I
Col Hoyt said that Appelt had
introduced a local option bill and
now he is advocating tho dispea
sary. lie accused Appelt of using
the name of tho Rev Goo l'orry of
this place, an editor of The Baptist,
in order to hurt Col Hoyt's
candidacy.
As to newspaper support, Col
Hoyt said that no candidate would
refuse the voluntary support of
even the Manning Times, published
by his friend?"my dear
Appelt." (Cheers).
"Trot out a dispensary man," 1
shouted somebody, and Col Hoyt
introduced Walt Whitman.
The latter, after jumping on
State colleges, said he was in the
legislature and helped enact the
dispensary law. He said he
could prove that the police of
Charleston are in league w>th the
blind tigers. Ho himself had
been directed to a blind tiger by a
policeman.. He charged that at
the iale of Taints be had found a
dispensary of the State running a
blind tiger on Sunday. Dispen*
saries are selling to minors and
drunkards, and do not always require
signatures to got whiskey.
He favored the dispeusary law en J
forced.
Gary occasioned some laughter
by telling of his being taken for

the governor recently increased
the force in Charleston from four
to ten. He then made his customary
speech. Gary was warmly
applauded.
Patterson spoke frotu the deck
of a wagon.
He said he was not afraid of
the sun, but had been sick. He
made his same phonographic reproduction.
McSwoeney said the contingent
fund was to be expended at the
discretion of the covornur. Pat
o
terson replied that the people had
better put men in the legislature
who could limit his expenditures
or he would pay for all he ate and
drank out of the fund.
At the conclusion of his speech
there were cries of "Give him
