Special to The State. Bennettsville, July 18?Sine? i ne announcement that Senator Tillman would lie hero today, all polit ical South Carolina has awaited tho result of the meeting. The result is this: he did not touch upon national issues in this, the home of .John I. McLaurin, who was not here, but was here lust week. He jumped on county, executive committees for limiting the time of candidates, although it was neariy o o'clock when ho himself began to speak, on account of tiie long grind of speeches, and finally ho took up tho dispensary question. Ho jumped on all con> tending factions, tacitly admitting that the prohibition leader must have some following and that the dispensary satellites are not shining bright enough for Tillman. He did not espouse the cause of any candidate. The meeting was attended by over n. thmmnnd hiuimIa oml tKm. came for miles to hear the discussion of live issues. This is the home of \Y D Evans, candidate for re election as ra Iroad cammissioner, and of Knox Livingston, candidate for lieuten ant governor. Each was well received and will carry the county solidly. FRANK R. GARY. The first cundidate for governor t? speak was Frank B Gary. He said he would not force a dis pen*ary on AiariDoro and he did uot want prohibition forced on Abbeville. Let each have what it wants. lie believed in the dis-. pensary law. There has been a lax enforcement. Have tho manhood to enforco it in Charleston us well as elsewhere. McSweency is running on his record and he jocsn't show anything but the pardon i f Pons. No child would pardon a notorious bigamist. If the goucrnor would show somo buck bono, the blind timers would lie afraid of him. His sentiment no Confederate soldier should j;o to the poor house was cheered. Wo cannot do too much to foster the public schools. PATTEltMON NOT WKLI.. Patterson was the next speaker, lie is not well ?has been sick for three days. This is the political birthplace of Hen Tillman. There is a powerful newspaper trust, md McSweenojr tried to got the pull of the press. Patterson stated iiu Mtiii suiuK 10 uiu uispensary through the scandal last fall. lie I'd not want to force the dispensary on Marlboro, but prohibition is but n sentiment here. In addition to Charleston's tiger industry, he claimed there are o?er 2<?0 in the city of Columbia. The law cannot be absolutely enforced in Charleston, hut he would do it better than it is now or step down from oilice. All through his speech he took great pains to show his reverence for Hen Tillman. Til K INCL'MHKKT. Gov. McSweeney said that all Patterson wants is to fool the people to put him into otlicte. Patterson looked all over the vouchers in the comptroller gen-I iral's office and could find nothing igainst the administration hut warrants paying for a few ne wallers. No man in South Caroina is ?o ignorant as to think that i newspaper's support can he >ought for a dollar a year. Every governor had subscribed for pa- i >ers?some had even taken tnaga:ines. He was cheered when he i referred to the Pons caso. 1 Patterson?4'I have a letter I from a gentleman in Laurens saying that you aro grinding out a lot of pardons." McSweeney?4'Oh, well, that's i from some fellow who's in sympathy with you." (Applause.) The governor continued that he defied any man to show whore a single pardon had not been justi tied. Ho had told his chief constable iti Charleston to enforce the dispensary law rigidly. Hie grand jury in Charleston, like the grand jury in Barnwell, which wouldn't believe Patterson in pr hibition days will not support the ollieials in enforcing the dispensary law. The governor read letters from the mayors of Newberry, Chester, Spartanburg, Saluda, Florence ami Laurens, commending his enforcement of the dispensary law. He furnishes proof of his administration-tile others make promises. McSwcenoy made a very favorable impression here. THK I.ATK COL. WALT. Col Walt Whitman came at the eleventh hour, arriving from Cheraw. llis quaint witticisms kept the crowd laughing. The Piedmont thinks it is time it is j getting some of the turkey it has I been pulling down. cor.. HOY'T. ( Y?l .lilc A Um'l ?/ - ik. tiwj v io its attwi u with Marlboro?u prohibitionist ns long as Marlboro has had prohibition. This county has resented any attempt to change. Marion had been a prohibition oouuty, but a dispensary was cs tablished there without the con sent of the people. Dillon hail tried to have the dispensary removed and could not. It ill becomes a candidate for governor j to go around the country abusing papors for not supporting him.

Col Hoyt could not repudiate or reject the support of papers that oppose prohibition, ' and yet they have taken him up on his manhood, (iary pleads the cause of the Confederate soldier, j No ono would do more for them than Hoyt, who was ono of them. There are large numbers of families moving to town to educate their children, leaving their lands to tenants who do not know how to maintain them. The common 1 ~ -I 1 BCUUOIH HUOll 1(1 l)C DUlIt U)) lO I maintain the agricultural interests! of the country ami keep farmers I from running to town. Col; lioyt was applauded. NOW COMES TILLMAN. Senator Tillman was greeted with cheering. In two weeks "it will ho 15 years since the people of Marlboro discovered Hon Tillman. He uiade his tirst speech here in 1S85. Their appreciation of his efTorts then, had much to do with shaping affairs in South Carolina for the last 10 years. He had been at home plodding along, reading papers and books, and doing a devil of a, lot of thinking, not knowing that he had the gift of gab. There must have been an occasion. The time was ripe. Ho happened to step forward when free speech was sweet to the people. They had always found him right where he had said he would be. \ 'I" Oi l ^num?.; xiio oiuio campaign is on? of tho direct outgrowths of the Ueform movement. Tho people can got some idea of the fitness of the candidates. There are a lot of candidates for these offices but nobody wunts to be senator. It is an honor to have the al, most unanimous endorsement for a place of trust. His old friends are sticking to him and a host of new ones are supporting him. He ift weighed down with the magnU is -a. *' Jf jjjtfril - a. . - . * m tude of the responsibility. If he has accomplished anything at Washington it is because he felt the consciousness of tho support of the people at homo. Ho want ed to take tho liberty to give the peoplo some advice. If he were a politician ho would keep his mouth shut. But as a leador ho must say something. The State campaign is degenerating into something which is not good on account of the number of candidates. There is necessarily a time limit. They get up hero and say their little speeches and sit down. They cannot debate and show their mettle. The poo pie get a half digested idea of the campaign. The people are getting hack to a condition of stagnation?the green scum is rising over their heads. The people of South Carolina are doing wrong to gag the candidates. Tho candidates are not saying anything new or the newspapers are not doing tho s?piaro thing. Is it imnortiint fm- < men to discuss railroads? It is better for two candidates to talk one day and two the next if they talk their out ami say something. If they have any brains it will show thcil mettle. Ho was go ing to take the liberty of looking about tho dispensary. Not because he wants to dictate, for the people will not submit to dictatation. National issues need no discussion. Ho would not trv to bias their votes. Regulating the sale of liquor has boon the cause of more trouble than any other problem. If the Stato has tho right to meddle with the sale of whiskey at all it has the right to regulate its sale. Whiskey is usually drunk where bought?other articles of commerce are taken houie. The history of former prohibition contests in this State is that town after town would go "dry," and < i ii ? '! * II1UII 'VtJUMl gO * * WCl ill lli? HCXt election. Wlicn u town was dry under prohibition, there wns just as much drinking and no revenue. There were 95,000 votos in 1892 and but <50,000 votos on the prohibition question and the crude prohibition question won by 10,000 votes. Child* introduced an ironclad bill. The legislature is always a skittish crowd. It passed the Childs bill. He himself hail taken this bill, had knockod out some drastic features and inserted the clausos which allowed the State to sell liquor under dispensary regulations. This was passed by the senate and later l?y the house. It ivan un issue in 1S94 (and was adopted.) lie himself had kept the constitutional convention from inserting the lanr in the constitution, body and breeches. it was settled in 1890 and again in 1898. How many times must it be settled to be settled ?. The people must quit voting for personal preferences and settle this issue once and for all. The prohibitionist are honorable men and led by nn honorable man, but they polled but 15,000 VIltAft lilMt fiuiA ( 'tiarlovfnn for prohibition in tlie last elec Hon. Are they enforcing prohibition no vl There is ail uuholy alliance of preachers and barkeepers led by Col Hoyt, and yet you people vote for their personal preferences. You are not lit to vote. (Laughter). Marlboro is a model county, they say. Thoy have never no Id whiskey by law. "Oh, you hypocrites! When 1 was governor I heard of wagons coming down here from North Carolina. Where do you get your liquor 1 I know you drink it. You love it. You go down to the depot on Saturday evening and you will find a whole express car loaded with jugs and demijohns." Tillman replied that this is a knotty question. The constitutional convention in its liherulity to Charleston declared that there should 'e a true lull hy a grand jury before there could bo a change of venire. The grand jury in .Chirleston will never find a true bill against a blind tiger and is lying. But if he were governor ho would put 50 constables ' in Charleston and raise hell on Chicco's street. lie oil led upon the people to make the* candidates for the legislature declare thbmsclvos over ! their signature in the county ! papers, and run npiarelv on the | liquor issue. If a man were licensed to-oil liquor under constitutional provisions it would he u failure. lie would keep open I Sundays, circus days and after sundown, and he would soil as mean liquor as he could get. i Behiud the prohibitionists come the high license people? Gonzales ieading the van ? and they are marching against the common foe lie disclaimed meddling and J said ho had onlv given his views i for what they wore worth, j "What about Marcus?'' in. | quired some one. Tillman then said that the , Democratic party had lined up |aud reunited. We have the Republicans on ice. lirjan bus live chances of winning to his one in 1896. After Bryan has been in there four years and given them an honest administration tho Republican party will not bo heard of in 25 years. Tillman's objective is the tier of counties along tho North Carolina line. lie will go to Darlington tomorrow, where it is confidently expected Col lloyt will reply to him. He will miss Camden and Lancaster, but will go to Chester and Yorkville at d thence through all the counties to Anderson. Tillman's action here today seems to have helped Hoyt vathei thai) otherwise, for the iatter's friends declare themselves double determined. William Hanks.
