Dr. Smith in a warm and pointed speech, charged Captain ti. \V.

There are al?o wc'l defined reports that the originator of the fatuous Shell manifesto lias committed himself in black and white and otherwise to more than one of the candidates against hint. Dr. Sini'lt is said to have made tlie statement that he intended to tight Captain Htell throughout the Fourth District on this line.

Smith and Capt. Q. de Shell, candidates for Congress from this Fr strict, and a report published in the re< reiivillc A'rirs, as to what Dr. Smith said lr< out a caucus meeting held sometime last ty iTcmbcr at which certain officers in the tie were parcelled out to certain indi- hi lutil. d< Following these extracts will be found the ft iblishcd report of wb.at Dr. Smith ea:d ; a1 it a< Capt. Shell emphatically denies any ft nt ici pat ion iu such ciucua, nnd Dr. Smith -Jf tnics raying w bat the report accused him lj sating, and the Greenville Xeiet brings o rtli witnesses ccrrobonidng what it pubshed, we can do nothing more than gi?e d ir readers what each party has t ) say in j indication of himself. t In a speech at a public meeting at Chick i piiug*, laet Monday, in al'udinglo himself nd the rci ort published iu the Greenville i fete*, Capt. Shell said : i In 1884 lie had been appointed clerk of 1 lie court for Laurens county. In 1880 ho ( ras re-cleeted by a large majority over Col. . Wash Watts, ono of the most popular iicu in the county. Tbc pooplc had endortcd lini as a man of character, a man of verse- 1 ty and a man of God, and the truth of smto- . ncut lie made he called oa the living Goiltt witness. If he never saw >\nshington Lit; sxcept by misrepresentation lie did not w?n. ;o go. If ho wns guilty of the coudiol ;hnrged. lie wanted to be left nt home. He was n- tat Walker's Cross Roads.

As to the rumor of his candidacy for Secretary of State he called on his hearers to look nt his position in the March Convention. He bad said he was a candidate for qo ofliccand hnd so stated there, noiw thatanding flic fnct that he hnd been strongly urged to accept something at the hands of the people. No iiinn could say that he had ever expressed such a wish. He had even begged and besought the Hon. James J?. Tindsl, the present candidate, to come forward for the iofb.ee. Captain Shell then proceeded to slate thnt durir.gthe last State Fair ho had bean in Columbi*, and while he war there there was a caucus held in his bed room nt the Grand Central Hotel. Some twenty gentlemen were present. II. 11. liuiet, of Greenvilla, was among that number. General Stackhouse was not there, and if his memwry was oorrect neither Dr. Smith nor Captain TiRwai* wae present. If Dr. Sm th was there he had mo recollection of it. Secinir I)r. Smith in tho audience. CnDtnin Shell called on him to my whether ho wanthere or not. Dr. Smith answered that lie was not there. ******* Coblain Srhell continued that he had to'd the Executive Committee l^a/. if thny jneant active hostilities to the present government he could not serve thorn, lie bad been instructed to issue an address to the people of the State. It was prepared and published. Captain Til'niau had said to him nfur he bad palled the conventian that lie had better select a man w)tO would accept a nomination, lie went to Donciat Stackhouse, Captain Courtenay and to Col, y. J, Pope. Knell liad declined. No other name was mentioned. Referring to the McKissick s ntcment in the Atwt editorial, Captain Shell said that Cnpt. E. 1*. McKissick had asked him if he was to |,ca candidate f?r Congress.? Ho had told, mm that lie would not be.? Captain MclAnick snVl his fa'lj-r would be a candidate.Tife told liim to soy to lij? father to come to Laurens and lie would do fit in yis power to present him to the people ; but he made no p'^dgp pither ,to support or vote for Col.

Dn. Smith's Vkksion or tiik Rf.poiit. Referring to the recent newspaper slotenont, Dr. Smith said that lie seldom wrote lis speeches hut that lie seldom forgot anyhing he said. At the W?lk?i-Uv;ii? ?:? _ ?v?w.l8 10 said, he started out by giving a biogrnplical sketch of his political career. He then ook up how lie bail become a candida'e for Congressional honors. He stated then that n July 1881), lie was at a meeting of the >tate Alliance and was in a conference with ither gentlemen whoso names be had menioned. At that time the Qovcnorhad In bis tockct the Cleinron Co'lege bill. Col. H. iV. Simpson, Captain Tillman, Colonel Nor is and others, trustees, were present, nnd hey were discussing the po'icy to be adopt < id in case the Supreme Court decided against he will. Afterward the ta'k turned on >olitical matters. General Stnckhouse was poken of for Governor but said he had ther aspirations. Captain Slioll was apokn of for Secretary of State, but said lie ic did not want it. lie said he had Congrcs- ' ional nspii .itions himself nnd Captain Shell skedhimifhe could carry Spartanburg. * to had replied that lie thought he could, 'he other day he had just learned that 'aptain Shell was a candidate nnd he had 1 aid that lie was puzzled at it. C'aplin Shell's conversation in the conference ' ad led him to believe that he woul l not be 1 candidate and that gentleman had after- J 'aid told him that he would not be. lie ad not authorized the ii'c of his namo in le caucus.
