the sphere where members of Congress
and high government ofllclals are beset
'with the cares of their positions and by

b.60 newspaper correspondents who

Thore weire about 801) present, a
large proportion of whom werouegroes.
Chief of Police Martin aud three lieu
tenants wore present with a ^ squad to
preserve order, but their service# were
not n* 'ed. Ohairman Barnwell oalled
the meeting to order.
Mr. Harrison being the first speaker,
he took up the disoussion of the liquor
question. He employed the same line
of thought as at Mouok's Corner and
repented his arguments iu favor of the
abolishment of the bottling institution
at Columbia and the direct shipment
of liquors to the several county dispen
saries. He reiterated his view that the
constabulary appointing power should
not be plaoed iu tbo hands of oue man.
His whole spoeoh whh devoted to the
discussion of the diappasary law.
Gen. Ellorbe was t'feobived with oon
siderablo applause. lie said that if he
had consulted his own personal inter*
osts ho would not have been a candi
date. liowevor, ho yielded to the eo
lioitatiouof his friends o / both factions
unj was now a caudidnto. He dis
oussod tho Dispensary first. It is here
to stay and no honest man will Hay
that it is not au improvement on tho
old bar-room system. Ho did not be
lieve tho abolition of tho bottling es
tablishment would provo wise. Tho
whiskey has to bo bottled and why not
give employment to native white peo
ple in doing it? Tho county sohemo
uh advocated by Mr. l?larrmon would
open t bo way to fraii^V-ftnd corruption
and that in wii%4 wo want to avoid.
County oonftftVolofl would bo known to
violators of the law. It was not in
tended to make money by tho Diapon
sury and if ho was elected ho would
enforce .tho law if it took double tho
amount of couatablos. But tho law
must be enforced and an noon aa the
people of CharloBtou showed a disposi
tion to obey ami enforoe tho law, ao
noon would ho take off metropolitan
police. Mr. Ellorbe then disouasod
educational matters and the financial
question.
Walt. Whitman caught the crowd
from tho jump by pronouncing tho
Dispensary tho greatest humbug over
inaugurated This whh received with
cheer after cheer. JIi* pronounced the
next greatest humtfbg tho higher edu
cational institutions, but this did hot
create any applause. Mr. Whitman
got up several little laughs iu his refer
ences to Reform promises and Reform
accomplishments.
Governor Evans was next intro
duced.-. Ho expr0RS0d delight that a
chiingo had come over the people of
< harleston. The last time ho was
there ho was not accorded a hearing.
He said t lit* t Charleston is tho metrop
olis of the State and its pride, and tho
city and tho rent of the State should
work in harmony, lie also said ho
had no apologies to offer for putting
hu tho metropolitan police. It was
his duty to nee that illicit whiskey
selling was not practicftH iu Charles
ton against the laws of the State and
city. Governor Evans went into the
discussion of tho financial issue and
some one in tho audionco who was ra
portod to be an ox-constable inter
rupted by asking, "Who got tho com
missions ?"
Governor Evans: "I've got enough
to buy a jackass: urn you for sale?"
('irertt IrUighter and applause.)
lie hold that Cleveland had taken
?*.1.70 out of the pockets of every man,
toiuau, and child iu thu COuutrv by
his boud policy. He asked any work
ingiuftu in the crowd who would voto
for a continuation of his policy to
hold up their hands. Not ode went
up. Oovernor lOvatis snid ho thanked
(iodthat ( 'harleston bad heon redeem
ed; that ho could tell tho country peo
ple that hor citizens were iu lino with
them, her lying contrary newspapers
to tho contrary.
Mr iJ'iucan started off his speech
with discussion of national issues, con
suuiing half of his time in doing so. It
looked as if tho bond matter would not
bo mentioned at a)*, Governor Evans
having not mentioned it at all, 10 ..
Dnacan, however, toward the end of
his speech repeated his charges as to
Governor Kruis'i ooanectiei with
HhiaJ and tho bond desi. Mr. Dancsn
in arguing that Governor Evans should
make a fair, sqnti* ?tate moot said a
gentleman in conversation had Slid he
bad lied about it so much he was afraid
to tell tho truth. (Laughter.) lie had a
Very respectful and attontivo hearing,
but nothing now was brought out.
Messrs. MoSweeney and Cooper
ppoko in or.ler and advocated their
elainiH foij election as Lieutcnnut (lov
einor.
C?eu. ft iehbonrg in tho course of his
nddresf said that when ho charged
General Watts with druukonti"9s at
Monek' s Corner the papers said that
his op))oncnt had denounced that as
a lie. ITo did not hear the re
mark, but if he had ho would have
considered tho source and tho fact
that ladies were present. However,
ho could hring forth affidavits to
prove it and (iencral W?itts could re
tiro from the race as best 'he might.
Gen. Watts admitted that ho became I
intoxicated, but denied that he fell
from his horse. He said the day was
intensely cold and all took drinks and
de did take too much. For getting
drunk he was sorry, and after this ad
mission he thought enough hail been
said on the subject.
Mr. Wilborn nnDoiini't?l his csrdi
daey for Itailroud Ci onto if siotier in a
few remarks. The Meeting concluded
with addresses on edurationsl umtters

Mr. Duncau and Governor Evausnted*
their speeches. There wm not much
enthusiasm display, cd, though the
Governor had the ocowd with him and
he was oonstantly interrupted with re
marks for approval/from the audienee.
? Mr. Bellinger wi4b prccc?lfcl by Mr.
Carroll Bimms, of (Darnw^l, who is a
candidate for solicitor against him.
Mr. Himms wan cordially received aud
some one yelled out: "Anythiug to
boat Bellinger." It then became Very
fevideht that the crowd didn't want to
hear muoh if anything from ihe solici
tor. Mr. Himms, however, said in the
oourse of his speeoh that he wax run
ning on bin merits an a lawyer. He
exolaimed that he would not have the
onioo If he had to get it on /acliotml
Hues.
Mr. 0. 0. Tracy,1 who had an
nounced himself for the solioitorship,
spoke next and simply announced that
for reason satisfactory to himself he
had deoided not bo a Candidate aud
thanked thoso of his peraonal and
politioal friends who had insisted on
him entering the raoe.
The other speakers were given at
tention, tho crowd being amused by
the gubernatorial candidates as well as
those for superintendent of education.

The flrt to address the oudieuce^jvas,
Bolioitor Bollinger. Ilia receptiou
was very much in oontraat to that
giv^n him in Walterboio. He was en
thusiastically received. In his speech
Mr. Bclliugor Haid if he wan defeated it
would mean that ho oithoV had heen
unfaithful to hiB trust and had uot the
abilitj to oarry it out, or that his idea
of oarryingout tho law did not agroo
with that of tho lynchers and law
broakorH. Tho friends, relatives and
and politioal heelers of the Broxton
Bridge lynchers have made a clear is
Bue. It is au isauo botweon law and
disorder* betweon anarchy and good
government. 1 attempted to say at
Waltefbofro what I Kay now: If the
Second Judicial Cirouit expect me, as
au officer, to show any favor on ac
count of fear of not being ro-oleotod,
or on account of paying attention to
Bomo widespread and influential fami
ly, then I don't wajit it. If defeated
on that account I have laid up for iuu
in the futuro a more glorious and sat
isfactory conscience than if I had been
elected .
Mr. Cha/rlos Carroll Simms, his op
ponent, in the oourso of his speech de*
nied any insinuations that may have
been or might be mad# that he ap
peared as a candidate of the lawless
'element. That was absolutely untrue.
?Ho was running oti his merits as a
lawyer.
Senator Harris disoussod Stato is
sues, CIoiuhou College and tho privilego
lax, ami his idea of the way the Dis
jponsary should bo .run, his views on
these (luentious being known to tho
public.
Walt* Whitman, as nsnal, made tho
crowd laugh, llis characterization of
the Dispensary as the greatest humbug
Under God Almighty's sun was ro
Joejved with much enthusiastic cheer

'as was given his statement in Charles

Chairman Lock wood announced that

on account of having to go homo Just

olina College hp had defended her.
Mr. Wajftold and Mr. "Robinson

i When the crowd had been dismissed
.Magistrate Rhett called for three choers
for Solicitor Bolinger, to which tho
crowd responded most heartily,
j Captain Loekwood took the cam
jpaignersont ou a delightful wail around
the harbor on board tho Lorena.
, It was roportfcd that an exclusion of
[Colleton peoplo would beat tho Hamp
ton meeting for tho purpose of again
(howling down Mr. Bollinger, but the
county ohairman of Hampton ntatod
.that ho would not permit any such,
'thing and there would bo no speaking
at all if Mr. Bellinger in not heard.
MKKTINO AT I1AMITON.
The campaign meeting horo was a
vory quiet one. It was thought that
frionds of the Broxton Bridge murder
ers would be here in forco and howl
down Solicitor Bollinger again. There
wero a number of Colleton mon pres
ent, but they created no disturbance.
They confined themsolvea to yelling
for Mr- Simms on the platform of
"anything to beat Bellinger."* Tho
Seople of Hampton County are for
olicitor Bellinger, however, and they
resented the appearance of Colleton
men at their campaign meeting for the
purpoee of bowling down any man.
Aa far as the campaign ia tbia cirouit
is concerned, tbi question ia not "who
got the commissions" or who will be

? The onairman then introduced Mr.
Whitman a* a oandidate lor Governor.
Mr. Whitman was received with A oool
ne*s that was Arotio. Although he
made frequeut reference to "pap fuok
ors, " a term whioh usually create* a
laugh, he was recoived with the "mar
blo heart" by the uudiouoe. Iu o'Uer
words Lis speeob fell Hut aud Mr. Whit
man retired without inakiug au impres
sion. t*
Senator Harrison spoke next. He
kept up the iuterost of the, crowd by
hit* plain, common sense talk on Btate
questions and made a tine impressiouv
Chairman Tutun aiinouuood that
i Gen. Ellerbe could not be present on/
accouut of having to go to the Chioago
convention, audintroduoed Mr. Charles
Carroll Bimm* of Barnwell, as a candi
date for Bolioitor. When he arose to
Speak the Colleton people, who were
gathered on one aide of the oourt house,
cheered themvelve* hoarse almost. It
wa* very noticeable that the cheering
oitrne only from them. The Hampton
votrra wero not iu the hurrah. Mr.
Bimtns took the position thut he was
running ou his merits as a lawyer. Me
hud uot expected that the isBue would
bo one of law agaiust lawlessness, but
that both candidates wore running on
their merits and a platform of duty.
Ho vehemently denied that his oleo
tiou meant a feign of lawleasnqsq.
Bolioitor Bellinger was uextintroftttd
ed. He said that after the ocoupaUo^ of
the otllce of Bolioitor for four years aud
having had to prosecute oases against
(A?11 classes and Kinds of men, ho did
not feel it necessary to toll the au
dience who ho was. If in the conduct
of his oftloe ho had shown negli
gence or had boon reorcunt to duty,
thou he ought to be defeated. If on
account of fear or favor or the hope
of politioal preferment ho had failed to,
do what ho ought, thou the people
should vote against^ him. Un
less such are the facts, then
it has been a / custom to re
elect an oflloor who has sorved oho
term. If ho Wob defeated it would be
a reprimand. He said tliat u man who
exeouies the law has a holy trust, a
commission from God Almighty Him
self. A man who connives at turning
Iooho a guilty man not only commits a
broach of timet to his people, but is
amendable to God who gave him the
trust. The mau who knowingly fails
to carry out the law, is a moral poK
troon aud coward and commits a orjmo
against heaven itself. Ho spoke next
of the power a Bolioitor had. *? ? .
Mr. Belliuger in concluding said
that, if defeated ho would not look up
on it ns a misfortuno except to the
law. Defeat for having porformed his (
duty would bo a grand and glorious
heritage to loavo bin children..-? It.
would be a monument evorlustiug and
of which any mau might be proud.
Mr. Duncan and Gov. Evans fol
lowed, and the old stereotyped bond
business was rehashed. Gue or two
mon in tho audience asked either gen
tlcmon questions, in reference to the
matter. Nothing now was developed
by the questions or answers, either Of
which simply, added a littlo diversion
to what would have otherwise been a
flat, stale and unprofitable reiteration
??f what every newspaper reading citi
zen knows already.
Gen. Watts, Oen Richbourg, Mr.
May field and Mr. Robinson also spoke
b 1 1 ? their spoeches were not character
ized by any incidents or any matter of
additional interest to the oublio.
Congressman Talbert was present at
the meeting. He has no opposition
aud it goes witbout saying that ho is
immensely popular in his district.
At the doneiuslofi of the speeches,
Mr. J. P. Mn retook offered the follow
ing resolution which was unanimously
and enthusiastically adopted.
"itcftolved, That we, tho Democracy
of Hampton county, hnvo heard tho
arguments of Gov. Evans and Mr. J.
T. Duncan, touching tho bond matter,
and In otir judgment the Governor has
been guilty of no indiscretion, much
less a crime, aud that his course in tho
entire matter from beginning to end
lias been that of an honest man, faith
fully striving fur the best interests of
the State. "
Tho Hampton meeting is tho last for
ten days. Several of the party are

assessment of 1895 with that of 1890
shows the total has not been materi illy
changed. The assessment on Rome of
tho roads has been increased and on
others decreased. It will be seen that
the railroads own about one eighth of
the assessed taxable property in tho
Stato.
