Wo regret that on account of a mistako of ouo of our compositors in setting up tho report of tho campaign mooting at Heeder's Ford for last weok's issue of Tho Courior, tho speech mado by Mr. J. W. Reardon was oroditod to Mr. W. M. Hrown, in addition to the roport of Mr. Brown's speech. Our Mr. J. W. Sholor wroto a roport of tho mooting, and tho manuscript gives a brief rosumo of tho speeches of all flvo of tho candidatos for tho House of Hoprcsoutativos. Tho ro port of Mr. Honrdon's speech followed immediately that of Mr. Hrown, and by mistako two of the first sentencies in Mr. Hcarden's speeeh wero omitted, viz: "Mr. J. W. Hoardcn spoke noxt. He said this was his third raco before tho peoplo." Thou followed tho roport of the remainder of his spooch which by roiiBou of tho abovo omission appeared as tho latter half of the speech of Mr. Hrown. Wo make this correction in justico to nil parties, ami especially to Mr. BOarden, at tho same time expressing our regret that it occurred. Mistakes of this character will happen occasiou ally in tho best regulated c??eos, and while they aro always annoying (more so to ns, perhaps, than any ono oise), yet we take pleasure in making proper cor rections and amends.

Jeffries Wins in Championship. San Francisco, July 20, - After fighting a battle, of eight rounds that was fought with brilliant and courageous work, Robert Fitzsimmons last night forfeited his last claim upon tho heavy-weight championship. Ho was knocked to the floor by James J. Jeff ri 08 and counted out after he had so badly punished the champion that it was a foregone conclu sion among tho spectators that tho Cornishman must win. Bleeding from a number of gashes in the face, apparently weakening and clear ly unnblo to cope with Fitzsimmons' superior skill, Jeffries delivered two lucky punches at Fitzsimmons, paused in in Iiis lighting toward him and turned tito tide. Tho battle was brief but note worthy and will live in pugilistic annals. Fitzsimmons tried once lo rise from tlx mat. but sank back again in helplessness and heard himself counted out, where but a moment before he had all tho bet tor of it. Items (rom Hopewell.

The Second Meeting WM Held at Fort Malli son on Last Saturday. The second meeting o? the county campaign waa held at Fort Madison last Saturday, Acting County Chairman X W. Shelor presiding. The meeting was called to order at ll o'clock. The chairman impressed the importance of the voters giving due con sideration to tho discussion of political questions. Mr. J, W. Reardon waa introduced and spoke as follows: I am a candidato for Douse of Representatives and am here to-day soliciting your votes, if you think I am the proper man for the discharge of the duties imposed upon your Repre sentatives in the Legislature. I agreo with the county ohalrmau that it is the duty of evory oitizen to woigh well tho character, the iutegrity and competeuoy Of the candidate seeking your suffrage before you cast your vote for him. It ls the duty of every citizen to inform him oolf as to the capabilities of the oandi date beforo casting a vote, because the perpetuity of our government depends upon the proper exercise of the fran chise, lt has becomo of late years a ous tom to frequently change our county government law. Those changes oauso m.ich inconvenience in the proper ad ministration of the law,. This may bo tho reason of so much" complaint about bad roads. I do not think that one dol lar per head aud one mill tax is sufficient to koop up our mountain roads. I foe! suro that tho roads could be well kept up by labor as we had it a fow years ago. Tho roads should certainly be kopt up by labor alono or by taxes alone and not by a combination of the two systems. 1 am known in my commuuity as deeply interested in tho subject of oducation, and havo boon for a number of years. 1 havo been au advooato of better schools and a bottor system of education ovor siueo my boyhood. I have done much in my community towards buildiug up our educational intorosts, and have had a hand in building tboro ono of tho best schools in Oeouoo county. In our edu cational system the mora'., of tho stu dent should bo aa well guarded and as properly trained as tho intellect. If elect e?l, I pi omise to lie faithful in im proving our educational systora. I premiso to bo faithful in tho diBcbargo of my duty; to do my vory best for tho ?level opinent of OUT COUUty ; to glVO to our children hotter opportunities for tho educating of tho head and thohoart than those enjoyed by their parents. Hon. VV. M. Brown said: Two years ago you elected mo by a flattering ma jority to roprosont you iu tho Legisla ture During tho tuno I havo been a member of tho -IIouso, I havo tried honestly and earnestly to represent you and to do tho best th.it- in mo lay to remedy many of tho ovils I saw iu our statutory laws, The Mate has boon ox ponding largo amounts on our collegos, too much in comparison with tho amount spent for tho common school?. lu tho common schools wo And tho basis of our republican government. As tho masses think, so will our govorumout act. Tho subject of education in ono near to every man's heart, and still uoaror to his pocketbook. It scorns that taxos aro certain to romain high for soveral years to como. 1 soo little hope of reduction of tho levy until a different sot of mon aro elected to represent thc pooplo. Tho present county government law is not sui i allie to our condition aud is supremely unfair to the pooror class of our people. To allow a man who is ablo to pay only ono dollar as a commutation road tax, and require those who aro unable to pay to work eight days, is not, in my opinion, fair or equitable. I do not bo lievo that any man, high or low, rich or poor, should bo compelled to work on tho roads for oight days aud allow a mau who is ablo to pay to rid himself of tho burdon by payment of ono dollar. Tho road law is a conglomoratod compromiso for which I am not responsible. I havo opposed tho building of a homo for the oiii Confed?rate soldiors. It is nothiug moro than a poor house with a high sounding titlo. I consulted many of my old soldior friends and comrades boforo making up my mind and found none of thom in favor of tho project. I havo therefore voted against it and will do so again. If wo havo anything to give tho soldier lot us givo it to him and lot him enjoy tho boneiits of our bonovolonco where ho can bo surrounded by his kinsmen and friends; r.nd when lifo shall end, lot bim bo buried and his body rest by tho side of his kindred in tho cemetery of his fathers. I havo always voted the prohibition ticket, but I havo como to tho conclusion that the dispen sary law is tho host solution of tho whiskey problem. 1 voted while in tho Legislature for achango in our Constitu tion so as to allow a statute to bo en acted providing for biennial sessions of tho (Journal Assembly and if elected, shall do so at evory opportunity An other important matter to como beforo tho Legislature is tho ohild labor hill. I had not then, neither have 1 since ntado up my mind to voto for any bill that would take the government of tho family out of tho hands of the parents and placo it in tho hands of tho politicians, and if elected, I shall in tho coming session of tho Legislature vote tho samo way. I am proud to toll you that I livo among a proud and progressive people, aud as a proud people, wo should demand public buildings that aro in keeping with our ontorpriso and prosperity. I feel this way and I boliovo you fool tho samo way; therefore, I voted for tho appropriation to improve our Court IIouso and jail. I feel that our people do not dosiro to bo judged by tho miserable buildings wo had in tho past. Tho improvement upon our public buildings will bo a testimony to every man who contemplates moving amongst us that wo aro enterprising and progressive. I am not ashamed of my vote. Dr. E. C. Doylo said: Fellow-citizens: As I address you to-day 1 am mado to think that this is tho country .. bei c, only a short whilo ago, tho ID liai hunted gamo in these hills and va ley/. Since that timo wo havo foiled bc forests, built commodious-houses ano. dovolopocl tho material resources until to-day wo stand as ono of tho principal counties of tho Stato. And I fool suro tho host is yot to como. If elected your represen tativo I promise you absolutely nothing oxcept to do nw duty as I concoivo it. I hate whiskey, but if tho dispensai y law woro honestly adininisorod it is tho boBt solution of that problom. Still I think tho law should be amonded and tho power to abuso it should bo removed. I am in favor of good roads, and any mea sure that will improve our public high ways shall meet my oarnostco-oporation. I oppose the old soldiers' homo. If wo have anything to givo, give it direct. I am in favor of biennial sessions of tho General Assembly. I feel that tho ses sions of tho Legislature aro toofroquont and expensive. Many of our evils oomo from tho corruption in tho F?deral gov ernment. Federal politics have hoon lending ns astray. We, in the South, havo a groat problom which we must solve. Our children are growing up sur rounded by tho descendants of Ham. Northern politicians court tho inftuonco of tho colored race becauso of tho powor which they wiold through them. This corrupting inlluenco is felt from tho highest olin c in tho Republic to tho lowest. We all fool its effects. It ha? a grating inlluenco upon our politicians. With this condition confronting us, I feel that tho only romedy is tho educa tion of tho masses. Fooling as I do, that this is tho panacea of our evils, I shall do all in my powor to offoct tho romedy through tho oducation of our pooplo. Col. Rt A. Thompson said: Wo aro horn, fellow-citizens, ns members of tho groat Domocratio party of America, bound togethor hy rulos and regulations onnctod by tho party for tho proper selec tion of our candidates boforo tho ponplo in tho party primary oloction. This pri mary is for Federal, Stato and county ofllcers, and the responsibility is upon ns of solocting tho proper mon-mon of intogrity. Special legislation has had a baneful influonoo upon our State legisla tion. Rofore tho Constitution of 1895 it bad becomo a custom to legislate for each county separately, but einco the now constitution tho Supremo Court baa do olded that thoro can bo no special legis lation. This decision being binding upon us, it becomes necessary for the Legislature to pass a genera) county govorumont law for all tue oountios in tho State. This was undertakon and then difficult quostions confronted us. Our county officers who have obarge of the road? and bridge? tell UH that one dollar and one milt are not sufficient to koop up our roads, hut I am uot certain this is correct. Tito people of Anderson say they can get aloug with one dollar and one mill. This they have beeu doing for many years and they have the boBt system of road? o' any people in the up country, and I feel that with proper mauagement we can do the Bame. Mr. Beardon suggests that we go baok to the old style of working roads with labor. I lived in the time when this manner of keoping up the publio roads was in vogue. I had experience with it aad do not believe lt wise to return to that sys tem. I think with vim like that mani fested in Anderson county, which was begun under the advioe of the late lamented E. B. Murray, wo will soon be out of tho woods. The roads of this eounty should bo put in good condition, and it would take only a few thousand dollars to do it. We are a commorcial people, and, a? such, it is important that we novo good graded roads. Suoh roads would soon lill our county with the very best people. I remember when I was a boy we had nearly no sohools at all. The selmnl house where I was reared was so opou that you could throw a oat through tho oracks. It 1B bettor now, and we may improve it, and probably will. Wo shall, at least, endeavor. I boliovo our colloges are now economically conducted. Wo spond nearly $1,000.000 annually on our common sohools. They aro better than ever in tho past. The dispensary law is bettor than the old bar-room sys tem; and it is hore, and, in my opinion, boro to stay. We should mako it tho very host that we can. We gave this yoar $200,000 to the old soldiers. It is not, however, enough for them to livo upon, but it is a help. This help should over bo cont inned. Wo have, asked oapi tal to como boro and invest among us. We aro glad it carno and wo should pass no law to the injury of our industrial entorprisos which is not absolutely nec essary for the public wolfarr. It is good for us that capital ha? como. Tho labor ers iu tho factories aro our and our uoighbor's children. Thoy aro better off by far thau whou thoy first went thoro. They havo provided for thom good churches and schools, and. aro well clothed and happy. I am unalterably opposod to tho plan of taking from the heads of families, to whom God has given children, tho government, of tho family and placing it in tho hands of tho politicians. I voted against tho bill to that eil cet last winter ami intend to do so again if you scud mo back. It is a measure introduced into our politics by Northern emissaries for tho purpose of leveling down our system on a plano with that of tho East. I havo no apology to mako for my voto to appropriate $12.000 for tho improvomont of tho pub lic buildings. Good publio hui him; s aro au iudox to tho prosperity of Oct neo county, and I am proud that my voice han boon raisod for it? improvomont.

[Anderson Daily Mail, July 25.] Tho most delightful and instructive occasion within tho recollection of tho oldest citizens of tho Lebanon section was tho annual reunion on Wednesday, July 23d, 1002, of tho descendants of Jonathan Smith, at the old homestead of Nimrod Tillman Smith. About three hundred poisons woro prosont to partici pate in tho reunion and every ono was loud in his praises of tho broad hospi tality of the Smith connection. Mr. Robt. M. Burns oallcd tho mooting to order and introduced tho orator of day, Judgo D. A. Smith, of Walhalla. Judge Smith thou road a carefully pre pared sketch of tho gouoalogy ot tho Smith family, which was remarkable for its accuracy of dot-nil and depth of ro soarcb, claiming- and proving tho titlo of tho Smith family to a long and honorable record, second to none of those who lay claim to noble ancestral prestige Tho carefully collected and methodi cally arranged data presented by J udgo Smith was so completo that lt was do cided to verify and oxtond it, re-cdit it and have it put in pamphlet or book form, and for this purpose a committee was appointed consisting of Judgo D. A. Smith, John Baylis Smith, Whitaker W. Smith, Luther P. Smith and Thomas A. I;.itlibe. This oommittoo hopos to bo able to present a completo and accurate family history with tho aid of tho in dividual descendants of Jonathan Smith, and they request that tho hoad of each household preparo at onco a statement showing tho name of his fathor and mother, grandfather and grandmother and tho names of bis wifo and children and hand tho samo to somo member of tho col ll ll i i I I cc. After a sumptuous and much relished al fresco dinner Mr. Luther P. Smith entertained tho crowd in a very neat and witty discourso on Smiths, thoir charac teristics, etc. Ho dwelt at longth upon Judgo Sm i I h's st at cine nt that ono of tho old patriarchal Smiths was said to have boon very homely, in fact ugly, so ugly, tradition says, that ho was afraid to sloep by himself. Mr. Smith repelled indignantly tho insinuation that this man could havo been an ancestor of his. Thc following resolutions woro unani mously adopted: Resolved, That wo havo listoncd with pl Oas uro to tho address ol Judge I). A. Smith, giving a sketch of tho Smith family, and horoby tondor to him our vory sincoro thanks for tho samo; and Resolved, furthor, That wo horoby tondor our vory sincoro thanks to Mossrs. Joseph Smith and L. P. Smith and all others who contributed to bringing about this pleasant assemblage and nil its at tondant pleasures. R. The Same Old Story. J. A.
