The Fourth at Red Bank. O-i Wednesday. July 4rb, a re porter of he Di-patch seated binpe?f in the buggy of Mr. E T R ucb, who kindly conseoted to take the disciple of the Fourth E tate to the soeDe of festivities which were booked for R d Bank that day Along the sandy and dreary road which leads from the town of L*-x ington to the s*quested aDd pretty little factory village of Red B-mk, were to be seen fine crops of corn, peas and potatoes and their condi tion was indicative of faithful aDd * ' 1 ' -VTx / intelligent cultivation. i>oi many 01 the typical Lexington country home? could be seen on this road, but now and then through the open space of country the traveler could catch a glimpse of a cosy dwelling nestled in a bower of dark fringed shade trees which showed where the pleasant home of some citizen was. We arrived at Red Bank, nowknown as Irene, right side up with care and found quite a large number of the people of the little village and those from the surrounding country assembled in holiday attire, wearing happy countenance and who seem bent on erj jynoent. After miDgling with the crowd witb[mouth shut, but both ejes and ears wide open this scribe is prepared to say that notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, the dispensaryites in that spfltinn nf tha conntv are un * W " - ~ J like angel's visit in not being few and far between. Some were talking about old war times and telling the old, old, but ever fresh and in teresting, stories of their experiences and incidents which befell them dur iDg the Civil war. These of course, were the Veterans who bad no doubt been called together by the presence of one of their number from a distance in their midst. Uihers were talking a >out more recent happenings of m>re or less interest. The festive candidate, however, wag much in evidence and were working like beavers in the interest of their own candidacy. In the little (ffiie cf the SaxeGotha Mills stood Col. Hoyt, the candidate for Governor on the prohibition ticket. As I entered he was standing in the centre of the ofS-*e leaning on bis crutch receiving bi> war comrades, Romp of whom were members of the regiment of which he w?s Colonel His appearance was soldierly and manly, bis voice firm and stroDg and impressed one as having a mission to perform and determined to perform it It was unfortunate, I think in the management of the ceremonies of the day that the opponents o' Col. Hoyt were not invited, for as it was the whole thiDg had thestarchystiffv appearance of a preconceived and prearranged plan to make it ap pear that Col. Hoyt was the favorite candidate of the "Independent Sta'e of Lexington." Of course, Col Hoyt is in no way responsible for this and doubtless bad the matter been called to bis attention be woold have regretted it as much as any one. About II o'clock Mr. F. C Caughznan, chairman for the occasion, called the people together and the speaking began. There were present about 300 persons most of whom were women, children and candidates for County offices. Col. Hoyt was introduced. His speach can be very appropriately divided, l^t, an appeal to the Veterans; 2nd, an appeal to the prohibitionists; 3rd, an appeal to those favoriDg local option and high license and 4ih ah appeal to the dispensaryites. The first division of his speech was a sketch of valor and devotion of the Confederate Soldier. He referred in complimentary terms of Company F, Palmetto Sharpshooters led by Fletcher Spann, Lee and Quattlebaum. After speakiog along this 1 ne for some time, he directed his remarks to the whuky question and declared that he was a prohibitionist from principal aDd had been since a boy. He believed in the principles of local self-government. Speaking of the dispenser he said that be was in a town where two young men were circulating a petition amoDg their friends asking for the appoint meDt of a dispensary and then drew pictures of mothers raising boys to sell whisky. He reviewed the Tapper wbir>ky Uw and gave an interest iDg account of the progress of pro hibition since then up to the present time and attempted to show that the claim thai prohibition was not enfoic^d la the State of Maine was a mistake. He ended by claiming that he was better qualified to discharge the duties ot Governor th^n any of his competitors, because if a prohibitory law were enacted be was a prohibitionist; if a local option high-license or d^pensary systems weie adopted, the fact that he was constitutionally opposed to the use ne? a be\e age and the sule of win ky would be an incentive to see that the laws were enforced and obeyed. We have not attempted to follow Col. H<>yt in his argument. It can be lifted down by saying that he was billing to accept the nomination fv;r Governor on the prohibition plat form, the local option platform or he dispensary platform. The plitf rm8 gave bioi no concern so long j hs be received the nomination for i ^ m. n i i 11 j governor, me was \>t-u achived and was given a courteous and attentive hearing to the end S> I do not thick, however that be changed a single vote. Hon. J Wm. Thurmond,candidate for Solicitor, was then introduced He told his hearers that he was a candidate for re-election aud gave a satisfactory account of his stewardship. He said that there were some things in reference to bis cardidac\ that be wanted to talk about but as his opponent was not present Le would not say them. He then discussed the liquor question, giviDg oi8 experience in piusruuuu^ ^ciovuo charged with violating the dispensary law. He said that there wereiDstantanees were witnesses in court were almost known to have purchased whisky from the accused, and yet upon their solemn oath, declare that they had not done so. If the enforcement of the dispensary law was so bard and well nigh impossible when liquor could be lawfully purchased it would be still harder to convict under a prohibitory law where the incentive to violate it would be greater because the buying and selling of whisky was made unlaw ful, and consequently tended toward lowering .the standard of citizenship. He wanted to know from a moral point of view the difference between the son drinking and lying? At the conclusion of the Solicitor's speech, dinner was announced and directly a gallant and successful charge was made on the tables and 8ood many were supplying the wants of the inner man with meats and hash deliciously cooked by that veteran cueist, Mr. Luther LoDg. I can truthfully say that at no bai je cue I have attended in many a year were the meats so well cooked and so nicely fl-ivored as those prepared by Mr. LoDg and be can justly wear the title of champion cueist of L-xingion. After dinner the speaking was resumed by the introduction of Senator D. M. CrossoD, candidate for reelection. The Senator made a strong speech in which he explained his position on all important measures. He was logical, clear and convincing. He was followed by Hon. W. H Sharpe, also a candidate for Senatorial honors. He beiDg on his native heath, was at bis best and by his effective jokes and brilliant repratee, kept the crowd in a good humor. He was followed by Mr. J B<-<( ks Wingard, candidate for the Legislature. He explained his views on the questions of the day, but as I w. s compelled to leave at the conclusion of his speech, I will only add that he was followed bv the remaining candidates for the Legislature who were present. Ia conclusion I would say that it was manifestly intended as a EL yt meeting, butin regard to the number of voters present and in helping him along toward the gute'n>torial chair, it was a failure, otherwise it was a successful and pleasant affair. RHEUMATISM and CATARRH CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH. A Whole Family Cared. Mrs. C. H. Kingsbury, who keeps a millinery and fancy goods store rut St. Louis, Gratiot Co., Mich., and who is well known throucrhont the countrv. says: *' I was badly troubled with rheumatism, catarrh and neuralgia. I had liver complaint and was very bilious. I was in a bad condition; every day I began to fear that I should never be a well woman; that I should have to settle down into a chronic invalid, and live in the shadow of death. 1 had JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA recommended to me. I TOOK FOUR BOTTLES AND IT CURED ME, and cured my family both. 1 am very <?lad that I heard of it. I \%*ould cheerfully recommend it to every one. I have taken manv other kinds of medicine. I prefer JOHNSTON'S to all of them." MICHI'otA.V DKl'G CO., Detroit, Mich. J L. KAUFMANN. < exiufcjtoa, S. C Swansea Doings.

It is now pretty certain that Swansea will have another candidate in the political garden. It will be a Senatorial bloom. And still they come, some to life and some to death. Since the census closed another little citizen registered his name on the roster of creation and also as a member of this great Republic. I have read and did once in my younger days sing of the Shanghai chicken that grew so tall in a few days, but in a very few hours we are told that Hon. W. H. F. Rast had sumassed recognition bv his most I V intimate friends. Some of them thought that he was introducing some new style on "knee britches," as he made his first appearance on the street after this young America: engaged board at his home. Mrs. Yarn is visiting her daughter Mrs Rast, of our town. Miss Helen Sheiidan from OraDgeburg, is speudiug several days with ber class mate, Claia Johnson. Dr Latgfoid has moved into his uew house.
