Hoyt, in a good Datured way, got after Ben Tillman ! for meddliDg in the gubernatorial , race. Tillman, as at Beunettsville, ! had the reply on Col. Hoyt The meeting was not as large as other gatherings, but a very good i crowd was present. The farmers ! are working with their tobacco crop?, i gary and patters n Mr. Frank B. Gary was the first speaker. There are three in the race advocating the dispensary and one prohibition. He did not went to be ? "??J ??. of Ko HflC rejecieu uu spcuuuo iuui kin people who are some accouut. He was cordially applauded at his conclusion. Patterson began by twitting Gary about making a set speech about pensions for old soldiers. Gary had never introduced a bill for their relief in the legislature. He has no objection to the Gary family holding office, but Frank ought to run against McLaurin for the Senate two years from now. When it was announced last winter that McLuurin would leeign, Gary came out in an interview giving bis views on national issues. Gary?You are mistaken. The State asked me for an interview and I declined to give it, as McLaurin harl nnf rpfiiimpd. and I declined to O 7 anticipate. Patterson? "Well, you were a candidate, or it was so stated. Gary?It was not done with my consent or approval. Patterson said Gary was cheered at Charleston, for his local option was there construed as a concession to high license. The rest of his speech is quite familiar to the public. A frequent expression of his was, "As Senator Tillman said at Bennettsville yesterday," etc. If Hoyt is elected we will have free liquor? Hoyt's cologne. He was glad for the people of Darlington to see thbt he is not a wildcat as pictured by the papers. He too was applauded. GOV. >f SWEENEY NEXT. Gov. McSweeney was as he was applauded as he was presented. He spoke of the good feeling, happiness and prosperty in the State today. His opponents try to make the peo pie thick that he is in league with the blind tigers. If Charleston supports him it i3 because his administration has been free from politics and anything contemptible, a 'ousiadministration. (Applause.) He would like to see the law enforced in Charleston a3 rigidly as | elsewhere. Hi9 opponents make j charges, but they offer no proof, j He had not gone around looking for blind tigers like Patterson, and he would never do so as long as he is Governor. He read the annual report of Howie showing ! that the grand jury had thrown out j all cases in Charleston. Howie had j enforced the law in a way to remove j tl'o iMlfomflco onrainaf if TT? Hftrl I LUC ^UVViUVOO UgMiUWV AW AAV MMV* doDe as much work with four men as had been dene previously by 15 or 20. He had broken up two ; wholesale houses there. The chit f I constable for Greenville added his j testimony as to enforcement in that 1 city. Thi3 talk about the dispensary law not being enforced is not true. The Governor was applauded. IIOYT IIANDICAPliD. Col. Hoyt was placed at a great disadvantage. The crowd had become too large for the court house j and was adjourned to the band ; Btand out in the yard. The crowd i gathered under the trees at some j distance from the stand and it was j trying on the speaker's voice. Coi. Hoyfc was received with ap- j plause sprinkled all over the yard, i After paying his respects to Ga'y and ! McSweeney he 83id that Patterson re minded him of a cogwheel railroad. 1 He has the same old speech and if j he slips a cog he can't gx In speak ing of illicit sales in Maine in com- j '-I J! 1 . ? V. parison wuu ui^peusuiy ucn-, Patterson says nothing of illicit sales here. All public men on both sides in Maine are agreed that the people want prohibition and the political ^ parties are afraid of aDy attempt to j repeal the law. Patterson knows * //V ill ^4 ~<xr. Crt \ I 1030 MAIN SSTIt jpj Solicits a SI b that Hoyt has continued to denounce ' as false any charge of collusion od j his part. j Tillman ought to come out io his dress suit and give Patterson a fair chance to 6wing on to his coat tails. His sack coat is too short. Hoyt's cologne is preferable lo one j X coru liquor. There were few dis- ! psnsaiies for several months after : the law was first enactei, but the j clause leaving it to the will of the j people was stricken out and dispensaries were established everywhere. If they would strike out the profit feature the dispensary would go to pieces. He would Dot enforce the prchibi tion law by bloodshed. Any man who says that law must be enforced hv armt-d nnnstabuiarv and bloodshed I does not express the sentiments of the people. There is do truth in the intimation that we would have drug store bar rooms under prohibition. The law was violated in prohibition towns in former years because mem bers of town councils were opposed to it. It ill becomes the dispensaiy advocates to talk of non enforcement of the law, when you may examine request books and find therein names of minors, drunkard, etc. In regard to the denouement at Bennettsville, he said that it was ap parent that somebody is getting very uneasy over this election. There are too many things being said about the chances cf Hoyt'e being elected. Senator Tillman is down here to i i i* *1 weea out bis crop 01 dispensary candidates. There are too inaDy candidates and he wants to marshal his forces. He has been out West and perhaps has heard the news. Tillman courageously speaks his convictions. He has not a bad memory. Did te not in 1890 protest against Wade Hampton coming down here and taking part in State politics? And is this not the very thing he is doing now? The people who vote for Hoyt will not go to Tillman to get permission. He, Hoyt, had done as much in 188G and 1888 for primaries and for free speech as had Tillman. Tillman has made a mistake, unless it i3 his purpose to weed out these dispensary candidates. He ripped one of them up the back at Bennettsville. But it is not fair for him, the United States Senator, the representative of all the people, to come down here and disturb the natural outcome. It does not comport with his former fairness. Tillman has a right to the speaker's stand of course, but Col. Hoyt protested against interference. He invited Tillman to visit him at the executive mansion. (Laughter.) Col. Hoyt's remarks were in utmost ^ i tint* i it good numor, out delivered eornestiy and with dignity. WHITMAN rnOTNSTS Walt Whitman, too, protested against his ancient friend, Senator TillmaD, coming into this race. Patterson tries to prove that the neonday sun shines. Everybody knows that the law is not enforced in Charleston. Any law can be enforced which has a semblance of right, by an executive who has nerve. He had advised McSweeney not to make j this race. He ought to have taken | Walt's advice. The Governor had j started out by claiming that the law ! had been better enforced under him than ever before. He is now modi fying bis claims. Wb)? Because B. K. Tillman is in the campaign, and the miserable little weakling is afraid of him. "Walt declared that ! { be will not go all over the State crying because the papers won't print all of his speeches. He then advocated bis high license views. It will bring in more revenue, will abolish the constabulary, except a few to watch the license holders, and it will do away with blind tigers. Tillmau said in 1800 that disregard of law was eating out the foundations of goverment. "Whitman said there is just the same reason for a change j now.

Colonel Hoyt said at Georgetown in his campaign speech last Tuesday that his candidacy was giving his opponents a lot of trouble, and we do not doubt it. It is exceedingly dif , ficult to understand Colonel Hoyt'a following. You ask one man and he says, being a prohibitionist he will, vote for Hovt "on principle." You will meet another of directly the opposite stripe whose interest is opposed to the prohibition principle and he will tell you that Colonel Hoyt's platform suits him, and there are a few survivors of the hot times in the nineties who would kill anything with a Tillman stamp on it, regardless of its value to the people. So there is very much in candidate Hoyt's race to puzzle his opponents. ?Anderson Mail. A writer for these columns recently asserted that Colonel Hojt is a "high-toned southern gentleman." We grant it. So is Gjvernor McSweeney. His elevation from the printer's case to one of the highest positions within the gift of our peo. i pie is proof sufficient on that point. He is quite as good a man morally ss Colonel Hoyt aod is probably as active in church work, though we lay no particular stress on the religious convictions of either. Religion bene-, fits no man to serve the public.? j Fort Mill Times. I i Gov. McSweeney has adminibtered , the affairs of the State successfully,! in a business like manner. This fact; his strongest opponents cannot deny; and he is making a clean, dignified . canvass. He deserves to succeed himself, and wo believe the people of i the State will see that he does so ? Laurensville Herald. I Says the York correspondent of the News and Courier: "There is I a general feeling that Gov. McS veeney has performed bis duties veil, and has conducted himself personally in a manner that should receive the commendation of the people who are disposed to give credit where the credit is due. Gov. McSweeney is not goiDg to be forgotten. The other gubernatorial candidates will come in for more or less suppoit, but it is not likely that they will run along close to either Hoyt or Ale Sweeney. "What baa MeSsveeney done tha':. be should be kicked out of office? It is certain tbat eiuce be took the r ins of government in band South C;irolina has been at peace with all mankind. Who will deny Ibis, or who will say that a great deal has not been gained thereby?

The opponents of Gov. McSweeney, i notably The Columbia Sfa*e, are at- i tempting to deprive him of the i claims to a second term, which an ! unwritten law gives the Governor, by asserting that he has not been elected to the office and therefore i i should have no more prestige or j i prominence than any of the other ) i candidates. Now, gentlemen, "tote I fair."

He j was elected Governor on conditions, j just as completely as Eilerbe was j elected without conditions, and when j the State was called upon to face J those very conditions, contemplated and provided for, then by the votes of the people already polled and registered, McSweeney was Governor without further conditions, just as Eilerbe had been. We again avow that we are not in politics. We are just trying to keep the boys straight. ?Gaflfney Ledger. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that j Contain Mercury.

It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proptietary medicines wbieh fl >od t he maiket, vet as a pn v< ufive of sufJViiog we feel it a duty to nay a good word for Chamberiaiu's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would have save hours of sufleiiDg while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicity od any medicine for a cure, but we do believe .uat if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on band and administered at the ioception of an attack much suffering might be'avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by J. E Kaufmann. + - Ben Tillman's Talk at Bennettsville. Special to the State. Bennettsville, July 18?Since the announcement that Senator Tillman would be here today, all political South Carolina has awaited the result of the meeting. It was attended bv j D " ! over a thousand people, and they came for miles to hear the discussion i of live issues. The crowd which had I remained patiently for over six hourp, bearing the other candidates, began to call for Tillman and he mounted the stand. Senator Tillman was greeted with cheering. In two weeks it will be 1 r : ,1 1 C xo years siuue iiit? peupie ui xaanuuiu discovered Ben Tillmeu. He made his first speech here in 1885. Their appreciation of his efforts 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 doii g 1 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. He happened to ! 6tep forward when free speech was sweet to the people. They bad always found him right where he had said be would be. (Cheers) The State campaign is one of the direct i outgrowths of the Reform movement. The people can get some idea of the fitDess of the candidates. There are a lot of candidates for these offices, but nobody wants to be Senator. It is an honor to have the almost unanimous endorsement for a place of trust. His old friends are sticking to him and a host of new ones are supporting him. He is weighed down with the magnitude of the responsibility. If he has accomplished anything at Washington it is because he felt the conciousness of the support of the people at home. He wanted to take the liberty to give the people some advice. If he were a politician he would keep his mouth shut. But as a leader he must say something. The State crmpaigD is degenerating into something which is notgood on account of the number of candidates. There is necessarily a time limit. They get up here and s*y their little speeches and sit down. They cannot dabate and show their mettle. The people get a half digested idea of the campaign. The | people are getting back to a condition of stagnation?the green scum is rising over their heads. The people of South Carolina are doing wrong to gag I Lie candidates. The candidates are not sayiDg anjtbiDg Lew or the newspapers are I not doing the square tbiDg. Is it I important for half a dozen men to discuss railroads ? It is better for two candidates to talk one day and two the mxt, if they talk their cut and say something. If they have J any brains it will show their mettle. He was going to take the liberty of looking about the dispensary. Not ho \r?r.ts fn diofcsitp. for the people will not submit to dictation. National issues need no discussion. Ke would not try to bias their votes. Regulating the sale of liquor has been the cause of more trouble than any other problem. If the State has the right to meddle with the sale of 4. C.# ^ * etober 13?tf : whiskey at all it ha3 tbe right { regulate its sale. Whiskey is usual drank where bought?other artich of commerce are takeu home. Tt I i histoiy of former prohibition ce tests in this State is that town aft< J town would go "dry." and then until go "wet at the n< \\ chction. A\ be a towu was dry under jirc hiLiiioi there was pet as much drinkuf/ at no r< return. There wore 90.<Kj votes in 181)- and tut 60,000 vote i on the prohibition question and th ; crude prohibition question won b i 10,000 votes. Cbilds introduced u J ironclad bill. The legislature is a! ! ways a t kilt it h crowd. It; passes the Childa bill. He himself ha; taken this bill, had knocked outsom | drastic features and inserted th; j clause which allowed State t< ; sell liquor under dispensary reg ! ulation9. This was passed bj the Senate and tbe House. It was an issue in 1894 (and wai adopted). He himself had k? pi the constitutional convention frou inserting the law in the cons i ; tutioD, body and breeches. If. wai ! settled in 1896 and again in 1898 I How many times must it be settleo j to be settled. The people must quil votinc fur personal orefernces anc i r> r i settle this issue once and for all. The prohibitionists are honorable men led by an honorable man, bu! they polled but 15,000 votes last time. Charleston voted for prohii pition in the last election. Are tbej | enforcing prohibition new? There ; is an unholy alliance of preachers and barkeepers led by Col. Koyt, and yet you people vote for their personal preferences. You are not fit to vote.

Tillman replied that this i3 a knotty eiuestion. The constitutional ! convention in its liberality to Charj leston declared that there should be ! a true bill by a grand j iry before ; there could be a change of venire.

Tillman's objective is the tier of counties along the X >rth CXreliua line. He wiil go to Darlington tomorrow, where it is confidently ex pected Col. Hojt will reply to him.
