THE HOIU LEXING' JULIAN E. KAUFMANN, ALFRI PTMUMnt. ! ' - ~ Senatorial Oandidatos Spoke * 1 Here Yeeterday. The candidates for the United States Senate spoke here yesterday to an audience of about 500. The meeting f was presided over by County Chairman D. F. Eflrd. The connty was well represented?-voters coming from nearly every section. Solicitor Timmerman was the first speaker. He told of his race two years ago; how he carried his home county and of his election. He has no opposition, which speaks well for his two years' term as solicitor. He was liberally applauded. Congressman Lever followed Solicitor Timmerman with a ten minf ntes speech. He had the crowd with him and he received generons applause. > Maj. W. W. Lumpkin was the first of the candidates for the United States Senate, and he soon got the crowd in a good humor by telling several good lokes. He then paid a tribute to Solicitor Timmerman, and also to Congressman Lever, stating that the citizens of Richland would join Lexington in giving to Mr. " Lever anything he wants. He then spoke of the prosperity of Lexington county and of South Carolina. He paid a beautiful tribute to the Confederate soldier?to their wives and daughters. How they toiled while their husbands ; and sweethearts fought for ishe prfn-, ciples of right. He then took up the currency question and made his usual speech on this subject. He branched off on the present tariff system and showed his reason for opposing same. Opposed to the sale ana manufacture of whiskey. The great commercial world is opposed to whiskey. The business house*don't want young men who drink whiskey. What chance are you giving your boy. Will help to frame a law which will keep whis* key out of our State. He ridiculed the revenue derived from the sale of whiskey. No revenue can pay for the heartaches given a mother whose son has gone astray. He pleaded for the young men and husbands to "cut out' drink, and wound up in an eloquent plea to the voters to cast .their ballots against the sale of whiskey. Give South Carolina a chance tomorrow and prohibition would win by 30,000 majority. He was well received and applauded liberally. A rain came which broke up the meeting in the grove and the crowd repaired to uhe court house where the speaking was concluded. When the meeting was resumed, Hon. O. B. Martin followed Col. Lumpkin. He told of where he wa9 born, saying that he was now living in Bichland county but was nevertheless a citizen of the State of South Carolina. He told of his work as State Superintendent of Education. - Did not claim all the credit for the advancement made in education during his term of office, but he showed how instrumental he was in having laws passed, which stand for the betterment of the educational system of the State. Took up the gambling in cotton futures and promised to use his efforts, if elected, to check this "VTf Smif'n frt* grt??o cv 11. ouv/xcu tiu> ,v, asking the suffrage of the people. He read extracts from Mr. Smith's speeches in 1905, wherein Mr. Smith stated that he was opposed to members of the Farmers' Union entering politics, and he would never seek offiee through the association. Discussed the currency question and then branched off on tariff and immigration. He told several telling jokes and received applause at the conclusion of his speech. Hon. E. G. Khett was the next speaker. He began by saying that he was not an orator. He was not in favor of pulling down the railroads. Discussed financial question at length. All the money comes from the banks. Is in favor of neiping toe i armor bu that he can hold his cotton. Stands squarely on the Democratic platform. Banning as a business man. He brought a storm of applause when he refeiTed to Congressman Lever as being one of the best members of Congress, and he was a business man. This is not a day for oratory?that time has passed. Industrial issues are now discussed in Congress, and you need business men trained for the fight. In favor of welcoming all white people to this country. Paid his respects to Mr. Grace and answered his charges. Denied every allegation of Mr. Grace in a manly . ? 6) : "W.

Smith was introduced amid applause. He explained why he wrote the article in 1905 referred to by Mr. Martin. Reviewed the conditions then and the conditions now. Told how he had fought for the Democratic party and white supremacy. Discussed the tariff at great length. Jollied Rhett's idea of business administration?the country has enough business men now, robbing the people. He was applauded several times. Hon. Jonn Gary Evans followed Smith. He told how he had fought with others 15 and 20 years ago for what Smith is fighting for now. He T?

Was applauded aahe satudown. Mr. J. P. Grace began his address by referring pleasantly to Lexington county. He then referred - to the. statement of Mr. Rhett that the day of oratoxy is past. Mr. Rhett says, that he is in favor of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. He jumped on the newspapers and declared that they only published garbled reports of the meetings. He devoted most of his time to Mr. Rhett. Is not assailing him personally, but Rhett uses half his time assailing him. Said Rhett was an eleventh hour democrat. That Rhett bolted the Bryan ticket in 1896?refused to vote at all. Mr. Grace was applauded several times during his speech. Col. George Johnstone was the last speaker. He was introduced amid applause. ' Indeed, he received an ovation, the like of which has never been accorded a candidate for the United States Senate in this county. His every utterance was the cause of an outburst of applause, and when his time was up the crowd would not let him stop. Col. Johnstone reviewed his record, and pleasantly Said his respects to the two candiates from Charleston. He then turned his guns on Mr. Rhett's currpmr?v Tilatform with tellinsr effect, de daring it to be undemocratic. In reply to Mayor Rhett's declaration in favor of white supremacy, he stated that there were today, under his administration as Mayor of Charleston, negro policemen, and that one of them had arrested a white woman. Mr. Rhett interrupted him to say that he did not have the power under the law to remove policemen from office except on evidences of misconduct. Col. Johnstone replied by saying that as Mayor of Charleston he ought to have the law changed. This brought forth an outburst of applause. Col. Johnstone vigorously assailed E. D. Smith for dragging the cotton association into politics to elevate himself in public office. He stated that Mr. Smith had urged that no officer of the cotton association ought ever enter politics, and that he himself would not do so. Yet he was appealing to that influence to elect him. This thrust brought forth peals of applause and several men from the audience, who were Farmers' Union men, yelled that Smith could not get there by their vote. ?CoL Johnstone closed amid vociferous applause, and as he took his seat a large part of the audience came forward to shake his hand. To The Voters Of ? 3 a m A jrfsxuigtoa wouaty: Owing to circumstances over which I have no control I find that it will be impossible for me to canvass the County for the office of County Superintendent of Education. Unable to canvass the County, I deem it an injustice to myself and my friends to remain in the race, and I hereby withdraw from same. In doing so, however, I desire to thank my friends throughout the County for the encouragement they have given me, and their proffers of support. BARRETT JONES. Mr. D. A.
