The Candidates Were Well Received i i on Thursday. August 9th. G. WALT WHITMAN Took the middle of the stand and orated at length and with vigor regardless of the profuse flow of perspiration and heat. In starting out he said if liquor was made in this State he favored patronizing home industries. He reiterated his usual pleasantries and arguments. FRANK B. GARY Also had to wade out in the broiling sun and announced his platform and views, so well known. Some one complained that inferior liquor was being sold and he said this was Dot tbe intention or cne dispensary system and it should not be so. He was ruDniDg because he was a real friend of the dispensary and because the law was not now being enforced. He would enforce it, he said in reply to questions by putting constables where needed. As to the old 6oldier he wanted to say he was the friend of the old soldier, and Lis proudest momeut was when he welcomed the veterans to Charleston, j The young generations should show how they remember the soldier. He explained present distribution of dispensary profits and argued that it was best. He spoke forcibly to show that Patterson should cease . to use the argument about his brothers holding office being anything against him. A. IIOWARD PATTERSON' Said there was tut one issue in t this campaign and that was the ? liquor question, 8nd he waded into kio fflmilor <-?efence nf f herJifineriRfirv UIO V*. wwv V* * ? w . -w ^ ~ ? ^r and some one wbo iaterrup'ed him j. was asked why he favored free liquor, f and Patterson told him to vote for ] prohibition. He took up his custom- ? iry argument and wound up with a his attack on the MeSweeney admin- J istration, especially as to Charleston. t Se pounded MeSweeney for Dot ] 3eizing bar fixtures and worrying the t poor mountaineer who sells a jug of r iquor. c If a law is to be enforced do not t ask whether there be any bloodshed j: )r not; to enforce a law was a duty. e He said MeSweeney talked about 3aviDg money. If he had a few t Bore constables they would do t something. He said estimate 400 [ tigers in Cbaileston and 100 in Co- j lumbia, put the sales at $1 00 <a :b, v which would be $500 a day or $1S0,- I )00 per year and the constables if t ?mployed could save this. Ellerbe q aad about 60 constables say at $2, ? would be $43,230 a year. McSwee- t aey has 44 constables, which would be $31,680; difference, $11,520, in- I 3teaa of $30,000 as claimed. There g are in Charleston 183 revenue li- r censes and suppose each of these Bell f $5 a day, that would be $900 a day, ^ per month, $2,700, per year $324,0o0 1 c worth of tiger liquor sold. So, in- j stead of saving, the State is losing t by not having the constables. i governor m'swelne i ( i . Said about the only thing against l him was the tiiade against him and ^ Charleston. All he wanted was to have the last year compared with any other year. It was wrong to single j out any town. He did not claim too much, but the people were doing 1 their share towards enforcing the 1 law. None of Lis constables will ( ever be allowed to ir jure any one cn ' flimsy grounds. He read a telegram I * from Chief Howie in which he show- !f ed that instructions were issued to \ seize fixtures, and he stated that the i reason fixtures were not seized was 1 because the "tigers" got the good3 i back on claim and delivery and the j i constables had not been able to pio ; vide for counted bonds. Tne state i board had been asked to provide for i these bonds, but has not yet done so. i The expenses were not included in j Mr. Patterson's figures, and he ; imagined a great deal. He did not agree with Gary that there j i ought to be prohibition in odo county j and dispensary in others. If there were to be improvements in the dispensary it must come from the legie- ! ture, and prohibition to begin with, J would increase taxes. He took up ; the Pons case, the Florence matter and the Barnwell removals to show that he did his duty without fear or favor. He said he knew what it was j to be a poor b>y and what it was to Uk t f <j' i Hi "W. 1690 MAIN 8TI jpj Solicits a S] U A Wife Says: ** We have four children.

Not to use it during pregnancy is a mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering. Mother's Friend equips the patient with a strong body and clear intellect, which in turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes i the muscles and allows them to expand. It relieves morning sickness and nervousness. It puts all the organs concerned in perfect condition for the final hour, so that the actual labor is short and practically painless. Danger of rising or hard breasts is altogether avoided, and recovery is merely a matter of a few days. Druggists se" Mother's Friend for $1 a bottle. The Bradfldd Regulator Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Ke held the prohibition contention responsible for the present nix-up and campaign, and insisted hat party or factional conventions ihould not be held. JAMES A. IIOYT Said the friends of the dispensary lad already criticised it sufficiently or him not to say anything about it.

The State has no right to ngage in business. You take the profit feature from he dispensary and it will go. It is he money that is in it that keeps it n you; That is the universal ap >eal. He had said everywhere he ranted to abolish the dispensary, le insisted that Tillman had made he mistake to mix up in this family [oarrel, and, especially to jump en lim. Hoyt is going to be elected, he hinks, unless he can stop the wave. Hoyt spoke of Tillman now being ). D., L L D , and one X. D, and 13 such he welcomed him. He was jot afraid to meet him as a candidate or the United States Senate. It vould be far more becoming to talk >n national issues.

He believed as a jovernor, he could enforce the dispensary law ten times better than at present. He insisted that there was no necessity in the Bible for expressly prohibiting the sale of whiskey, to 3?gin with, the general principle is igaiast liquor selling, and there was 30 such vile stuff known in the days )f the Bible as fuss X, and he took jp the Bible to shew its argument igainst the sale of liquor. SENATOIl TILLMAN WELL RECEIVED. Senator Tillmas was well received after a six-hour wait. He said he was limited because oi time, ana 3ome one cried: "The moon is shining,'' and Tillman caught the joke and thought this was a good one on him about this moonshine coun- j try. He then took up Col. Hoyt's j speech and said it was distinctly bis ' purpose not to dictate or meddle, I and then again explained why ho | was running, and he was going to j speak on what he pleased and would ! take no orders from anyone. The j people would elect no governor this year not in sympathy with him. He has been all along the line and knew | of what he spoke. He was better satisfied now that j Gorzules was sticking him with a pin I than 6lobbeiing all over him. He j then argued that hand primaries had ^ and will bbow ?iow tilings are going, j He icbisted that the hand primaries GLOBE OUT is:. 3^eo^tcs:::T' ?EET, ... hare of Your Yalued sbow that the dispensary is here to! stay. He took up the IIiv. W. R Rich-J ardfou'recent sei nion and read I he' extract relative to the demagogue J and that the dispensary was organ- j iz^d by a political demagogue for po- j litical purposes. What was that but, politic?? He did not fijhtthe preach- [ 'ers except when they attacked him.! Talking about Hoyt's D. D. and. LL D, be said that some m w 1 thougLt D.

He expected that he had lost from . 10,090 to 20,000 votes by his fight from the prohibitionists. Most of t those who are fightiDg him now are 1 the very same as were fighting him when he tried to lead the people iD 1800. If they do not want me for the? place let these good men scratch my name and not vote for me. The peo-' pie want to know how many are so narrow minded as not to vote for a man who insists on free speech.

He tbm took up Dr. Gardner's sermon. In Edgefield for instance today there was absolute re- i straint of appetite. There are plenty t of counties where you can't get a drink to save your life. He was no ^ defender of the misdeeds and mis- > management of the law. He hadi^ Charleston as dry as gunpowder and y kept the State so during his term j He addressed the ladies and said j the ministers are trying to break up the only thiug that recently had y brought any temperance. Preach-!l ers ought to preach obedience to law.! ? Never do you hear sermons against ! ( blind tigers, but it is all against the i dispensary. He was willing to meat ure up in the next world with many of these preachers without any badge j of denomination, admitting his weak-j ness but trying to do his beet. Toe j preachers now were after the die-! pensary and next no doubt would be after his neck. He wanted the leg- (^ islators pledged. The largest num-j - j | ber of drunkards he saw was at Yorkville, a dry town. He asked only those who voted to \* have their consciences go with their j I ^ hands. He wanted an honest vote; * and Jone that meant something.!
