Mr. [,. M, Ragin, former senato: from Clarendon county, stated that'h is the seiior' aspirant for the office it point of service. Re had been every thing'in'the office but secietary, an< he wants that position now. He hai not run for the position himself, fo his chief, Mr. Tompkins, had run anm had been defeated by Mr. Cooper. It had done all of the clerical work ir the office at a salary of $1,350 a year whereas tile clerks in the office no get $3,101. His own books had beti in good condition to the cent. Col. M. P. Tribble was detained or account of illness. Mr. Fraser Lyon. Theie had been little entlhusiasn manifested in the course of th specches, but Mr. J. Fraser Lyoi warmed the crowd up a bit. He spok( without feeling, but fearlessly an< pointedly. He said: 'Fellow Citizens: None of my op ponents are here today and I shall no therefore undertake to go. into details But from the very outset I want the people of South Carolina to know tha I am no straddler. . I am unalterably opposed to the state dispensary. I an a sworn enemy of graft. Citizens o: South Carolina, it is with shame tha I have hung my head when I have gone into other states and have had the finger of scorn pointed at me be cause of South Carolina being so de grded and corrupt in her dispensary 'If you could have gone to the various states that I have visited and where I have -had to say ''I am fron South Carolina and am investigating the dispensary, you would have heard them reply, 'Ugh! That rotter thing I' We should hang our heads in shame until we are rid of this rotten thing. I tell you the state dispensary is like a monster serpent that ha wound it coils about the state of South Cjirolina and is crushing out'it' life. ''Our friends that you have-heard speak here today say we should tam< this serpent. 'Let us draw its fangs, they say. 'Let us loosen its coils. They may draw its fangs and they may loosen its coils, but the nature of the serpent will remain there still ani thse- fangs will grow again and th< coi.; will tighten and again you wil be in a death struggle. I point you fellow citizens, to the head of this ser ppnt and I bid you strike it off. They ask you what will we havi instead. I could point you to a num ber of county dispensaries in the state .f Georgia, where they are down clos< to the pople and where they milak more money, and have more sobriety tian wve have. ''I w'hed the workings of the dis pensary in Abbeville and it suited ine and it suits me yet, but I see tot plainly the graft in the state inst itu.i tion. I heard one of the candidates for g'overnor this morning say, 'Lei uts put the stripes on the g'rafters ani those who are disgracing this faii state. ' All I ask of you is that nov~ that I I have finished this work of in vest igaition you (elec(t mec at t ornIey geni oral and giive mec the pleasure of put 'ing. on thle stripes.' Other Speeches. Mr. 0. L. Walker of Greenvillere gret ted thle absence of Mr. .Jones, noi only because o,f the reason therefor b)ut bcCause5 he .wanted to face Mr Jlones and1( answer cbarges made. H<4 stated thiat in 1902 he wasXdefeatei by Mr. Jones by 507 votes.out of mior< than 90),000. He charged Mr. Jono: withI hounding him down foi' the lasi four years. Hie made a spiritet speech, with,out rancor, and begget the people of the state to inv'estigat< his record. HeI had been investigatei bya comnmittee of b)usiness men fron his own county and they 'exonieratei him. 'Thie campaign het weeni Mr'. JTones and Mrii. WaTilker will he warm. Mr .Joncs was absent-at the deathbed ol his mother. Capt. Jennings and Mr. LeRoy F. Youmans were also abseni and sent writ ten ap)ologies. Col. J, C.

He mad ithe inspection.of the inilitia this yeai and feWS that he is the 'Man for ad ji,tant general. Hq congratulated Co] |Boyd that this campaign has bee: conducted ou a high. plane. The snext speaker was Hon. 0. B Martin. who has no opposition-for re I eleetion as state superintendent o - education. He said it was a seriou iimomeift when he' heard that he' ha( been elected state superintendent o education. He would rather give a] of the people some of the educatioi 3 than to give some of the peple all o the educatiOn. Mr. Martin 'said h4 disliked to dip' into the dispensar; fight, but there would be this contin k gency to face if fthedispensary shou I he donec a way with-tile schools woul( a lose about $200,000 annually which i paid in by the dispensary, Othe states appropriate hundreds of thous ands of dollars for their schools. Th educational interests of South Care lina' should not suffer. Mr. Marti1 got off a number of his good campaigi yarns. Railroad Commissioner. Mr. James Cansler of Tirzah mad one, of his usual good speeches. S had the crowd with him. He said h4 ran hard enough two years ago, bu he did not stand soon enough. Bui this year Mr. Wharton will we role gated and if new energetic blood is t, be put,into the office, then give it t( Canslcr of Tirzah. Capt. J. C. Sellers, of Marion, th4 next speaker, stated that the positioi had been Inuch sought after the be lief appearing to be that this was f job in which there was nothing to d< and.the secretary does all of the work But there is work to do and he is will ing L> do it. He was surprised tha his friend, Wharton, would offer fo re-election when the precedent ha been established in the 10 years o this office that no commissioner shoul succeed himself. H. R.. Thomas, De Witt Evans, Wilborn and Garris ha< all been defeated and they wer strong men, too. Mr. J. M. Sullivan of Andersoi stated that this connection with pol ities commenced in 1895, when lie wa, sent to the constitutional convention Since then lie had been a member o the legislature and has just declince re-elee!tion to the ome of mayor of th e*tv of Anderson. The railroad com. missioiner'.s office should be filled by r business man for there is no, othe part of the state goverinment which s< (losely applies to the merchants a this cfilee. He related a numbner o matters in -which there arc discrimi nation in rates. He would not attac1 the railroads, but they are able ti take care of themselves.. The peopl need represntation. He charged tha the present commission has derelict. The next speaker was Mr. J. A Summnersett of Columbia. Ie has n< politieal career. This is his debut TIhe people are beginning to thinl that thme railroad comnussmon is n< goodl. There has never been a mai elected on that commission who know the rudiments of classifications, am not one who knows anything abou lie p)hysical condition of the rail roads. His platform is ' 'safe roadls.' New depots are nice, but the peopli should rather have safe roadls. Hei lie only canididat e offering whoi able to safeguard the people's safety lie madle sport of the '' inspect ion'' a lines. The wo'rd had comne dowvn the line Lookout the railroad comnmissim will make an inspection inext week.' Everything had then been painted uj and the commission in a priv'ate ca with wines and fiue eigars would ''in1 spect.'' HIon. J1. H-. Wharton, the ehairmai of tIhe railroad commission, declare< that on short hauls South Carolim has a better rate than any ot.her stat< in the union. lHe flatly denied Mi Sullivan's charge of (derelietion o duty. Tf Mr. Summerset t would white wash as t rainmaster of! Mr. W. (1 Childs' road lie would (1o it us rail road commissioner. The safety of th< people is as much in thme hands of trainmaster' as it is in the hands o thme commfissionl. Shoumld lie be dis missed because lie had had the job si: yers Ts this any fair rule in busi ness? These other's ave but running for the job. The commission of whiel he is chairman, has beeni vigilant. Mr. Lumpkin Speaks. The last speakem' of the (lay was Mir. W. W. Lumpkin, canididate fo: thme United States senate. He conh( not mako his r'egular' speech, as hi wants' Senator Tillman present t< hear it, but lie had a hard time tb make any sort of spech at all. Whei lie was first introduced by Senatoi Dennis, Mr. Lhmpkin wvalked to thmi fr'ont of the schooIhouke foreh-an< there lie stood while the crowd yelle< at him in ever hniereasing volume 'Beni's good eoughm for us;'' ''lIur rahi for' Ben ;'' ''Tillmnan, Till man,' etc. Ena11v. when he cou1l be hnnar - Mr. Lumpkin sAid that Balaam maust l have left his.beast ofburden around lthese parts. WIion tfie crowd sai'in - what good humor Mr. Lumpkin h4d thken the gibing, lie was given na aud I icence. He would shoot tli repartee At tlhen as repaidly as they would mAke - 6port of him-and it ''took,'' as the f doctors say of vaccination. Mr. s Lumpkin was knocked off of the line i of speech-making and spent the time making friends with the crowd. He I deeired that he stands for the toilers. I He jjad worked on the railroad, he had worked on the farm, and lie feels a great sympathy for the laboring man. His platform is: - ''I am a democrat and will support I democratic measures in the i.tional 'I believe a candidate for the Uni' L' ed S(lales senate should leave state is - sues to be discussed and settled by the c citizens of the state. He should be - inpartial in those matters, so that if I national legislation is , required, lie i may freely carry out the will of the people. ''I stand for honesty in all publie 3 trusts. 3 ''I would by proper legislation con 3 tol all trusts so that; they may not t oppress the ICople.'' b Mr. Lum)kin was frequently inter - rupted and finally turning to a gray > bearded mai who was. the leader in > the demonstration, Mr. Lumpkin made an eloquent reference to the Confederate soldier and told how he and his interruptor had fought under - the same flag. This rhetorical flight caught the fancy of the crowd and many of them cheered him. Mr. Lumpkin then concluded and walking down from the stand accosted the old soldier who had been teasifg him so. Mr. Lumpkin gives positive assurance that this old sckldier has now pledged his vote to Lumpkin. Special Select Excursion to the Na tional Encampment, G. A. R.
