CAMPAIGN MEETINGS. a
On account of physical inabili- tl
ty we could not attend the p
county campaign meetings in
Salem, but in order that our e<
readers might have some infor- tl
mation as to what is going on, n
being said, etc., we had made ar
rangements with a gentleman to 2
send us a synopsis of the bi
speeches of the legislative can- fi
didates and he failed to do so. bi
We regret this very much. not ri
that there is anything very im- ga
portant in what these candidates sl
did say, but because it has been ti
our custom to attend the meet- a]
ings and fill our columns with di
this class of matter. sE
Not having received the fa
"write-up" of the Salem me.- di
ings, we talked to a number who '
didattendthem,andgatheredthat m
all of the candidates are opposed p
to prohibition, and will stand by li,
the dispensary, with the excep- le
tion of Mr. W. J. Muldrow, who, si
we understand is the only candi- b;
-date that comes square out and tl
strikes an unpopular chord. We tl
are told that Mr. Muldrow is op- s(
posed to the dispensary, and h
favors immigration in a restrict
ed form. The others, Jones Gal- w
luchat, Woods, Lesesne, Green, cl
Bradham and DesChamps are h
flat-footed for the dispensary p:
and opposed to immigration. At ui
the New Town meeting, Dr. c(
Woods opened the discussion, ir
and as he informs us,* the posi- w
tion taken by him was also fr
taken by the rest of the legisla- D
tive candidates with the excep- h<
tion of Muldrow. Woods de- g<
clared unequivocally in favor of fE
the dispensary, and Bradham B
not only declared for the dis- ti
*pensary, but a ga i nst the p
"-Brice Bill," notwithstanding all fi
of his former declarations of re- b;
ligious principle with regard to hi
prohibition. DesChiamps, Les- a
esne, Galluchat, Jones and r.
Green, all rallied under the n
same 'banner, and swore alli
gience to the dispensary and B
against immigration. On .the (G
question of schools, pensions, se
roads and taxes, etc., one speech h
would have sufficed for all,- as all S
of them were pretty much the h
same.
The candidates for the county v
offices made little speeches an- a
nouncing their candidacy. Mes- n
srs. Timmons and Windham can
didates for clerk of court had a y
little "spat," which did not ii
amount to anything serious.
Windham claimed that .Timmons n
promised not to make the race
for clerk, Timmons disputed it,
and it finally resulted, that Tim- 2
mons at one time made some ~
jocular remark about running
for some other office. Mason y
unrolled some doggeral which ~
created laughter. The condi- r
dates for sheriff got along very N
nicely, every fellow wanted the ~
office and promised to do his e
duty to the best of his ability. ~
The same with the candidates
for supervisor. We are told that
the candidates for superinten
dent of education made splendid
speeches, especially the speech E
of Mr. Earle Bradham; it is said
to have been very fine, but that h
Holladay also did himself proud, a
and Thompson and Davis too. d
The candidates for auditor
made their announcments, and "
the army of coroners were given e
an ovation. Mr. Pack was re- b
ceived with a great demonstra- b
tion, and all through his speech ~
he was cheered. a
The people of Salem must c
have treated the candidates well,
because all came back bragging
on the reception they received, a
and the prospect of being "solid t
in Salem."
The vote in the Salem section
does not belong to anybody; the
voters there, are independent s
and will vote as they please, and .J
the dandidate who receives the 3
vote of that section has a right C
to feel proud, because they are a y
people who do not let a glibv
talker fool them into voting
against their, wishes, and when
the returns come in, we will wait
and see how much reliance has j
been placed in the very recent
conversion of any candidate to
the dispensary, and whether or
not the prohibitionists approvec
of any compromise of their
cause.
It has only been a short time
ago that one of the candidates
now favoring the dispensary.
and does so with so mucli fervor
that he is m'ore ardent thant
an original dispensaryite, was
up to, and before he became a
candidate for office, a Prohi-t
bitionist from religious principle,e
is a member of the white ribbon
society, made speeches, wrote
newspaper articles, and was so
devoted to the cause, and to thist
religious principle, that in the
last election which nominated
B. R. Tillman for the United
States Senate, he scratched<
Tillman's name from the ticket.
The candidate we refer to is
Capt D. J. Bradham, then a Pro
hibitionist from religious princi
pie now acepnting the dispen
try, and takes the position that
le people have decided in favor T
E the dispensary makes him ac
pt it too. The-people decided
i favor of the dispensary be- 0
V
>re Capt. Bradham was a can
date declaring for prohibition fi
3 a religious principle, and the t]
eople decided in favor of the dis- C
nsary before Captain Brad- t
am scratched Tillman's name i
-om the ticket. There are s!
Lany voters who would like a N
atter reason for a change of n
Aligious principle, than candi- f<
icy for office, and there are t
any who do not understand t
aptain Bradham's change, be- V
wuse they cannot understand D
ow a man wearing the white u
.bbon pledge of death to liquor t
L any form, and sworn to kill it a
every opportunity, can com- a
romise his obligation or com- s
romise a religious principle at
ay time. People have died at I
ie stake -for their religious f(
rinciples.
Last Monday everything pull
I out for Paxville, from there d
iey go to Pinewood, on to Sam- i
ierton and Thursday here. t]
The Paxville meeting last 0
[onday was well attended, many a
aing attracted by the dinner a
irnished by the ladies for the t]
mnefit of the churchesand natu-, t!
dly more serious attention was C
tven to the eatables than to the n
>eeches which were very much P
e same at Paxville as in Salem,
1 but one of the legislative can
dates will support the dispen
ry, Mr. Muldrow not being in c
vor of it. Mr. Muldrow also F
ifers on the immigration ques
3
on. He favors restricted im- F
p-A
igration, the others are op- F
)sed. Captain Bradham on the P
F
luor question was in favor of
tting the dispensary alone N
nce the people have decided
their votes that they wanted c
Le dispensary. If he went to s
te legislature he would repre- s
P
nt the people's views and not F
F
s own.
Mr. Galluchat sprung some- G
hat of a sensation by making a
iarge against Captain Brad
im to the effect that Bradham h
retended to be his friend, and C
der promise not to form any
)mbination did according to p
formation furnished him. e
hile in Salem advised his 0
iends to vote for Bradham,
esChamps and Lesesne. This i
a regarded unfair and alto
ther at variance with his pro
ssions of friendship to him.
e characterized it "ring tac
Cs" and a scheme to defeat the
ople. The ~charge of bad
eith was considerably discussed
y the people, some blamed Gal
ichat for making the exposure
hile others contended he was
.ght to expose -any two-faced- ~
We are also told that Captain
radham when asked abo't
-alluchat's charge against him,
id it was untrue and that he
ad not advised his friends in
alem to vote for anybody but
e
imself.
The other candidates get along
ery smoothly, each one was
tentively listened to, and all
iade good impressions. t
Pinewood had a good meeting
esterday, very little difference o
the speeches..
The candidates are at Sum- i
terton today.
There s more Catarrh in this section of the
untry than all other diseases put tether,
id until the last few years was suppsdto be .
curable. F'or a great many year doctors pro- 1
>unced it a local disease, and prescribed local
medies, and by constantly failing to cure with
cal treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
is proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis
.se, and therefore requires constitutional treat
eat. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
,J. Cheney a Co.. Toledo. Ohio. is the onlyr
institutional cure on the market. It is taken
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon

The undersigned regrets to learn
hat Supervisor Owens has been cen
ured for working up a half mile of
ead for me while the road plow
ras in my vicinity. I offered to pay
herefor 100, which I did, $91.25
ash, and $8.75 hired labor which it
rould have cost me with hired hands.
'he road machine could do the work
or half that amount. I allowed the

hree-quarters of a mile. which saved
dr. Owens two weeks work with his

o the Democratic Voters of Clarendo
County:
I having entered the race for Cler
Court, and at the same time bemt
our Judge of Probate, gives my opP<
ents, and those who are not m
-iends an opportunity to say som,
ling about me holding the office <
udge of Probate and running fc
lerk of Court. I will say, when I fir
iought of running for Clerk of Cour
talked with my best friends about r,
gning the office of Probate Judg
hich pays but very little, but helpe
ie to make a support, and they advise
ie not to resign, that others had ru
)r office and did not resign the olik
3ey held: and after I had careful]
aought over the matter I decided n(
) resign: that if I resigned my opp<
ents would say, I should-have serve
ut my term of office, and would ha%
sed it just as much against me
iey are that I did not resign.
Now, the office of Judge of Proba1
ad the office of Clerk of Court do n<
ad never will become vacant at tt
ime time unless the Constitution
aanged. So, to run for Clerk of Cou
would have to resign, or fill out m
!rm of office and wait two years bo
>re I could run, or to run as I a,
ithout doing either. I do not expeq
y opponents to say that I am the pr(
r man or vote for me, but as I ha
one no canvassing, I write this shoi
tter so that those who do not atten
ie campaign meetings can see tb
her side of the picture.
Below I publish an itemized stati
Lent of the cost of holding an electioi
ith the county chairman's receipt fc

Some Reasons Why Mr. Garris Should be Re
Elected.
A short statement of the work
k of the Commission during the,
' term just served by Mr. Garris
may be of interest to the people,
as well as of interest to the can
>f didacy of Mr. Garris himself in
the approaching primary. Mr.
Garris takes the position that
3 the railroads and the people are
, bound to exist together for all
d time to come, and that they
n should live in friendship, if pos
e sible. It is not right that hon- T
Y est claims of either against the
other should have to be sued for
' and collected at great expense
e to both; therefore, the Commis
Ls sion can do no higher duty than I
to.bring, if possible, the people
and the railroads closer togeth
e er. Reasonable rates only should
Is be allowed by the Commission or
desired by the railroads. The
average of South Carolina rates
n are now below the average of the
-t rates throughout the South, and
especial care has been given by
" the Commission to the agricultu- c
a ral and manufacturing interests s
.e of the State. Only recently has
all cotton manufactures been re
duced materially. it is not ex
cessive to estimate that the Com
x> mission's reductions on cotton
0 piece goods has resulted in a
saving to the mill interests of
f the State
of something like..... ........... $ 53.000
Fertilizer saving by reduction to agricul
ture..................................... 90.000 C
Reduction In transportation of cotton... 106.000
Reduction in wood for fuel........... a000
LI. Reductions in brick. starch. lime. build
Do in.- material ....................... 40.0001
D Reductions on articles of merchandisc
00 and others it is fair to estimate........ 120.000
50 Total.....................................544,000
B Now. this is a conservative es
w timate of the amount of money
0 collected by the railroads less
D than they would have collected
0o on the commerce of the State for
B last year had it not been for the
5 interference of the Commission.
B0 The Commission has diligently
D under difficulties kept up the
D gradual improvement of depots
20 in the State, so that we have
more new and modern struc
o tures in South Carolina than in
1- any State in the South. Sincel
s his term began there are on the
d Southern railroad twelve addi
)f tional trains doing passenger
service and five on the Atlantic
e Coast Line. While conditions
l can never be entirely satisfac
a- tory to all the people, is it not
Lt fair to Mr. Garris to say that he
has done very well since he feels
that he has made no demands
exceit those that are justified?
During the past year there
have been some serious accidents*
which have resulted in the loss
of life, yet it is a fact there has
been hauled in this State about
8,500,000 passengers and not a
single white passenger killed. '
Now, if Mr. Garris, who is our
commissioner with only one
3term of service, could in justice
and reason begin without exper
cience and do this muoh for his
cpeople, ought he not to be re
.tained as a matter of business,
sand that too in the interest of allC
,classes, especially the agricul
"tural classes?
Mr. Garris' life has been a
'e struggle for making of himself,
and his strong, intelligent, con
ir sistent work for the people we
believe will be rewarded by his
i fellow-citizens.t
