Manning Times. That is a rather remarkable statement when one comes to look at it closely, especially as it comes from the pen of a State senator. Not to consider whether a thing is -'right or wrong" when one is called upon to vote? Can a thing bo right and yet against the "host interests of the State" ? Or wrong and at the same time he for the State's best interest? If a thing is right, that is the thing to do, and let the "best in to rests of the State" and all other consequences take care of them[selves ; and if it is wrong there is nothing to do hot let it alone.

A Hand Primary. By Senator Tillman Showed That tho Crowd Favored the Dispensary. Special to The State. Luureus, Aug 4.?The greut j educational campaign evoluted in a slugging match today. It was somewhat the unexpected which f happened. Frank 15 Gary and A Howard Patterson had a rough | and tumble light before a thou* j and Laurens people, men and j women. They fought with dos-? peration and determination until Jim Tillman and others separated j them, i nd then they wanted to ^ get hack at each other. Had the , incident occurred years ago in ? this county, when there were a cartload of pistols at a meeting, there would have been funerals here tomorrow; but these days all the feeling seems to be between ( the candidates. Today the re- j suit was two badly brrised faces ( and emphasis on the stylo of campaigmng going on, and if others showed the same spirit there ..I I l-_ P a! AT v*wum iiu uiuny more usiicuns ( each day. HOW IT STARTED. From day to day Mr Patterson hammered at Mr Gary about his Charleston speech, reading tbo ( clippings and making the state ments published. Mr Gary tt ought this persistent effort was to make it appear indirectly that i he straddled in Charleston or fuv^ ored a local option while in Char| leston, with a license feature 1 which be inmstml wmi rw?l case, and that Patterson's effort by reading extracts was t j place him in a false position as to what he had said and his announced attitude on the liquor question. As persistently as Mr Patterson would make his statements just so persistently would Mr Gary insist that his position in Charleston, as elsewhere, was plain and unequivocal and not intended to be nor was it misleading, and Mr Patterson kept on with his statements as published, and from day to day this kept up and Mr Pat terson got me to send the papers his speech on this very mutter and Mr (iary was asked for his reply, which have been both published. Today Mr Patterson repeated and reiterated about Mr Gary's i alleged straddle in Charleston. When Mr Gary's turn came to speak he immediately replied, as > has been published, that ho did not "straddle," and that his position then, as now, was plain. PATTERSON WANTED TO EXPLAIN. Mr Patterson was sitting about j tive feet behind where Mr Gary was speaking and got up and said: "Mr Gary. I want to explain | something." "Mr Gary turned squarely i around and said: "Now, Mr 1 Patterson, I want to ask vou * plainly?is w hat I have said about that Charleston matter true?" Mr Patterson said tie would exI plain. Mr Gary replied there ! was no use to explain, but insistj (id on knowing whether what he had just said about the whole matter was true or not. dared oarv to l'rovestatement. Mr Patterson went on to say the candidates would not agree with Mr Gary, or something od that line. Mr Patterson said ho , dared him to prove his statement by any of the candidates. Mr Gary insisted on a direct reply as to whether his statement ' about the Charleston speech was true or not. By this time the ( two men were within arms length, 1 looking fiercely at each other and ( no douot looking for a blow. Mr Patterson said, yea, he de^ lied as being correct what Mr iary bad said, if ho could not ex ilain. Mr Gary then said: 'lIf ^011 say ray statemont is not cor* ect you say what is not so." JOINED IN THE FRAY. The two men joined,Patterson 1 struck out and claims to have hit i irst. There was not a second's! lifferenc? in the passage of blows. Mr. Patterson struck Gary an inhnnded lick under the loft eye, which cut the skin for half an 1 nch long. 111 .< ><) I) w as c<) M moN. ^ (iary hit Patterson on the mouth ind cut the lip and struck him aider the eye, judging from the iruisc. It was not a minuto he fore half a dozen men wero around :he two combatants, they wero up igainst each ohter clinched and leveral blows wore passed, but they were pulled apart. Gary I aken toward the front of the ?tat)d and Patterson to the buck. They said nothing but were eager, ?nd the watching crowds passed up to the stand. YELLING FOR ROTH. Some yelled for 0110 candidate md some for another. Two policemen, Sheriff McCravey, Senator Tillman and Chairman Smith moved for every one to get back I and eit down anil get off the stapd Hy thi? time tho candidates had | mopped off their faces and wiped the blood off, for blood flowed: from both of their bruises. gaht's apology. When quiet was restored Mr. Gary faced the audience, somewhat disheveled and bruised, and quivering over and with clinched hand, and spoke out and said when ho loft home he decided he would lie a gentleman and give no Dossillle nffr?n?M to nnvonn niifl i n , J "?v ....V. ? U turn he would not take any insult from anyone, lie had treated Mr. Patterson as a gentleman und friend, but he had gone too far, and he would allow no mn;i to insult him without hitting him in the mouth. Mr. Gary apologized with feeling and almost tears for having fought before ladies and expressed his deep regret at the in* eident, then ho went on and con eluded his speech, cutting it here and there. PATTERSON SORRY. Mr. Patterson was allowed to make a statement and said he was very sorry for the occurrence, lie did nut liUn slllell Kirvrr.j tl? ? >.! ....w W.x/M VU1 1 If mill Mr. (iftry had been warm friends and he hud been a staunch friend of the family, but whenever a man told him he lied he tried to put his fist in his mouth and give him the bast he had in his shop. FIVK PLUNKS K.10II. When the two combatants had taken thoir seat a police oflicer, who l( oks like the pictures of Mr. Dinkelspiels good natured, held out his hand and said it would cost each of the combatants f."> or they wuuld have to go before mayor s court. Mr. Uary paid his $5 and then Mr. Patterson, when asked, handed over his $5. THIS THE I.AUREK8 CUSTOM. The officer, when asked about the matter, said it always cost that amount for a ti^ht in the town, but the combatants could go to court, if thoy wanted to, and they might get back their money, but they had only one rule. Mr. Patterson and Mr. Gary left the standaoonafter the speech of Mr. (iary. By a strange coincidence they both wcro guests at one ho ne, but they are now at different homos. THEY SHAKE HANDS. Through the efforts of Clerk of Court Bolt, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Gary mot, shook hands and agreed to be friends and comrades to each other as when they enter B(l Laurens. Of course neither of the contestants was hurt to any extent. TILLMAN TOOK HIS I'RIMARY.
