THE SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN.
Irby and Evans Have It All to Themselves
On the Hustings.
Since the physical collapse of McLaurin
at Yorkville, and the withdrawal
of May field from the race, Messrs.
Irby and Evans have been running the
senatorial canvass alone. Some of the
i papers have suggested that they agree
to a postponement until the recovery
of McLaurin; but this, as they have a
perfect right to do, they have refused,
and have filled the regular appointments
at Lancaster, Camden, Kershaw,
Bennettsville and Darlington since the
meeting at Yorkville.
AT LANCASTER.
The crowd at Lancaster, on last Friday,
was estimated by the reporter aj
about 600. It was orderly and well
behaved. Irby, during the course of
his remarks, said that McLaurin was
not in the race; that the race was between
himself and Evans, and that be
would beat Evans. During his speech,
Evans referred to Irby's "indisposition"
at Yorkville, and said that the senator
was now able to speak only with
the help of stimulants. Irby protested
that the only stimulant he had used
was a little paragoric. Somebody asked
Evaus about the bond deal and Evans
told the man to attend to bis own
business.
CAMDEN AND CHESTERFIELD.
The speeches at Camden were in
about the usual line with no new developments
of especial interest. The
crowd was large and well behaved.
The Chesterfield meeting was also devoid
of especial incident.
BENNETTSVILLE.
The meeting on Wednesday was
held at Bennettsville, the borne of Senator
McLaurin. The senator was still
confined to his bed unable to be present.
He was remembered, however,
by a number of handsome boquets
which were sent to the stand. The
crowd is said to have numbered about
800 people. They listened quietly,
and when the speaking was over quietly
left. Governor Evans expressed
regrets at the illness of Senator McLaurin,
and said that he would only
strike the senator in regard to his public
utterances. He did not think his
mouth should be stopped, hoxvever,
especially in view of the fact that the
sick senator was having circulated
copies of a Yorkville paper containing
a supposed speech. He then proceed'
ed to read from McLaurin's published
speeches, and to give his views in regard
to certain utterances. At the
conclusion of his remarks he was ap
piauaea.
Colonel Irby was introduced as the
"unconquerable leader of Reform in
1890 and in 1892," and was received
with applause. He said that he was
as much a Reformer now as he was
then. Referring to McLaurin, he said :
"I am not the man to strike a fallen
foe. I would rather be defeated 10,000
times than to know that I bad
been elected by striking the sick."
Then he went on to say that if McLaurin
was not able to continue the
fight, he should withdraw or seud Ellerbe.
Colonel Irby got after Mr. Evans
for having said, at Camden, that
Tillman bad said to him that he would
welcome him with open arms, and
Evans explained that Tillman had
only said that he would welcome him
in the event of his election, etc.
AT DARLINGTON.
On Thursday, the campaigners were
at Darlington. There was a steady
rain during the morning; but there
were some 400 people in the courthouse
and they listened attentively to
the candidates. Colonel Irby was the
first speaker. He said the story to
the effect that he was running in the
interest of Evans was an iufamous
lie, and wanted to know whether anybody
thought he was such a miserable
cur as to prostitute his mauhood
in any such manner, when Evaus had
forced him to retire from the race last
year. He said that he did not crawl
on his belly to ask the forgiveness of
Evans. He then went on to review
the history of the Reform movement,
and told how Evans, at the outset, had
said that the movement would prove a
fiasco ; but how "after awhile the political
cloud kept gettin' bigger and
bigger. The houses began to shake
trv onon TKto /Intrc r?n
IUC W --to
barkin' under the houses, aud it got
so dark the chickens went to roost.
Evans saw then that Tillman was going
to be elected. I was down in that
section pretty soon afterwards. Evans
saw me aud grabbed my hand and said,
'Irby, I'm with you. Tillmau's going
to be elected, and I'm with you in this
fight.' I took him in aud made a man
of him. I made him governor and
kept Tillman from hurting him. But
last year he forgot his political daddy.
He slipped up on me while I was asleep
*
and struck me, 'and the blow almost
killed father.' "
In conclusion, Colonel Irby asked
the suffrages of the people as a Demo*
crat, "Not that I am a Reformer, for I
am as good a one as ever wore hair;
but I am a Democrat. [Applause.]
Evans was next introduced. Herecounted
that certain newspapers had
dared him to make this race. He had
accepted and not one of the lies and
charges against him of last year had
been repeated.
Colonel Irby in saying that he
(Evans) feared to make this race, did
himself an injustice. Was he afraid
last year when he expected to have
Irby for an opponent? Then why
should Irby say he feared to make the
race when he again had him for an opponent.
He believed Irby spoke without
reflection, for Irby was as brave a
man as ever_ lived. The Reformers
did not vote for him (Evans) last year
under the lash of Tillman.
Irby?Didn't he try to drive them
to support you?
Evans?No, he did not. He said be
would support me because I represented
the principles for which the Reform
fight was made.
Mr. Evans then entered on a defense
of the suffrage clause. Why, if Irby
was so opposed to it, did he not offer a
better plan ?
Irby interrupted and said he did in
committee.
Mr. Evans replied that the committee
rejected it because it was not feasible.
Was the convention then to adjourn
because a suffrage clause could
not be prepared? Was the convention
to admit that it could not do the
work it had been elected to perform ?
If any white man was disqualified he
bad no one to blame but himself. The
Negro was eliminated from politics
and the suffrage clause was satisfactory
to the people.
Taking up the issues involved in
this race, Mr. Evans said this was the
most important campaign since 1832,
made so by the issues involved. The
newpapers tried to make the speeches
appear ridiculous by publishing only
the jokes and leaving out the real discussion
; but he hoped no one would
be fooled by this. McLaurin's public
niara nnhlin npftnort.V nnri

as such be was going to criticise them.
He then took up the cotton, sugar,
wool and bide schedules. He pointed
out what be considered the fallacies of
McLaurin's position on free raw materials
meant that manufacturers could
make goods cheaper and the farmers
could therefore buy them cheaper. A
coat, for instance, which costs $1 in
Europe would cost $4 under the Dingley
bill. Yet that was the kind of
protection to the wool grower that McLaurin
wanted to give.
Mr. Evans referred to an editorial
in The News and Courier condemning
McLaurin's anti-raw material ideas
a'nd declared that no honest paper
would support him after condemning
him as The New and Courier was now
doing. It was nothing but a display
of animosity and an attempt to revive
factional issues on the part of The

Mr. Evans repeated bis direct tax
views and concluded after an exhaustive
speech of more than an hour.
He was applauded.
The next meeting will be at Marion
today.

The Metropolitan Police Matter.
Columbia Register, Wednesday:
Chief Constable Babr was in the city
yesterday. In reference to tbe report
that he was trying to get the six aldermen
in Charleston who refused to
sign the agreement to enforce the dispensary
law, if metropolitan police
was removed, he said that he was circulating
such a petition and had gotten
several of the aldermen to sign it.
He expected to get them all before he
finished. He said he was doing this
on his own responsibility and that
Governor Ellerbe had nothing to do
with it. In other words, he positively
asserts that his action in the matter is
suggested from Columbia.
Snuirt Trick of CoiiHtableg.
There was a general stir among the
"blind tigers," at Greenwood, on last
Saturday afternoon, says a special to
the Columbia Register, and, as the result,
some of the tigers have had their
eyes open wide. Newell brothers and
Price, state constables, caught the
"boys" this time in a clever manner.
Some ten days ago they came to town
with trowels, plumb-lines, etc., pur
porting to be bricklayers, and expecting,
so tbey said, to begin work on the
new courthouse as soou as they could
get employment. One of them went
so far as to go to the Grenday Cotton
mills aud lay brick all day. Naturally
they became ''acquainted" around
town, and when tbey grew a little
thirsty they were introduced to the
gentlemen who could satisfy their
wants. All went aloug smoothly until
Saturday afternoon, wheu all three
appeared in a different garb, and
wearing badges with the inscription,
"State Constables." Then it was that
the fuu began. With Policeman Riley
and McMillau, every place in town
where there was the slighest suspicion
of liquor-selling was visited. About
forty or fifty gallons of mountain juice
changed hands, and some teu or
twelve citizens, some white and others
colored, had to go before Judge Austin,
and ask to be admitted to bail for
their appearuuce Monday morning. It
was a regular Fitzsimmous blow to
the business here, and will stop the
liquor men from so freely supplying
the town with their stuff, for a time at
least.

Deaftiess Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inllamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
out an innamea conuiuou ui iue muwus
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE BEST TIME TO PAINT
IS, of course, when the temperature is
normal, for the reason that the wood
is then in a more natural condition and
the paint will set faster and more perfectly
than otherwise; and when you use
MASURY'S RAILROAD PAINT under
such conditions, you will secure a
job, which, in effect, finish aud durability,
can be secured by the use of no other
paint in the world. MASURY'S PAINT
is the result of years of scientific research,
intelligent experience and honest, conscientious
labor, and is equal to any paint
ou the American market at twice the
price. MASURY'S PAINT is the standard
of value.
IT WON'T SCALE.
