war and since the duello passed out
of voj?u?\ vlteuiwratiou and abuse, bill,
lasga to and slander have taken tbo
place <?f the duel and It Is no Improve

But all gubernatorial races a'ro not
bitter. A political race meed not bo
personally hostile, though it may be I
very close and eager and active,. There!
was Hint kLnd of a contest in .1882 lie '
the , State cv<*r Knew - both lmd .Ihuu
hit'li officers In tbo Confederate urmy
-rOenora I .lolin Brattou of York and
Qnte'ral John I). Kennedy of Kershdw.
For weeks and mouths no one else
was conldered ; the entire StAto was'
divided between the two. lit (hat day
nomination wax um(f& by convention.
Men In I In- same offices arid business
bouses, am I even lu the same homes,
were divided between Brut ton ami
Kennedy: hut there was no hard feel
ing about it? only guessing mid dls
hip aiid iK'ttlng.
That year was the only 'time I ever
bet on nn election? -a nomination r?th- i
<r, liui it meant the same thing. My)
choice was Kennedy, and I felt sure '
Jie would win. One day I ""was ex- '
pressing this opinion quite' freely in!
a street crowd and said I would "bet" |
Kennedy would be (nominated. Major
C. B. Hulst in his quick <way asked:
"What'll you bet?" "A hat," said I.
The major took out hi# pencil "and a
pad and wrote: "Wallace bets Buist a
hat that Kennedy will be nominated !
for governor." We signed It. 16d W, I
T. Tarrant witnessed It,
That was a very foolish bet on my
part. I was betting at great odds-1
Kennedy against the world. But I was
young and enthusiastic then, and had
more pride of opinion than I have now,
Rlnee J have made so many mistakes.
Tlie convention c\ame on. Bratton
and Kennedy were about evenly
matched. Neither could get a major
ity, and so Mere was a /deadlock,
which was flnaaly broken t >y bringiug
In a "(iark ]lor8e/, Hugh g Thonip6o
of Columbia. I had not heard the re
nut when the major *a me stumping
?long on his wooden leg and walking
?tick., mud said, "I'll take that hat."1
How so?" I asked. Then he told one
4hat somebody had got a telegram that
"iL \',on,P8on bad been nominated,
l hat's all right, major," said I. ?Tve
lost. Hut you know what kind of a
? J,0" 'l11** 1 You take this
Mil and buy it yourself." Then one
^JJbl bujMh^very best Stetson for
five dollar*.
Rut the major continued to wear the
wtmo old hat he liad been wearing,
and I tfot five dollars worth of sewse
out of t ho transaction.
Hugh Thompson was an Ideal man.
Ho had lK>en superintendent of the
Citadel, afterwards principal of the
toys' high school in Columbia, and
was elected State superintendent of
education of the "Hampton ticket" in
187C ? n ikI u\i s a capable and efficient
man and thorough gentleman and
scholar in all these positions. And
Jie uinde a very excellent governor, too,
serving one term and the larger part
of a second, when President Cleveland
appointed him to a lucrative position,
assistant secretary of the treasury." He
never returned to thta State, dying
when be had reached about middle
"fe or a little beyond.
Major Riust was & Charleston lan. He
was an original charcter; somewhat
punctlllioua In manner, and as brave
>s Julius Caesar. He lost a leg In
?to war of the sixties. He came to
Newberry after the war and opened
a atnall grocery store on Main street,
where he conducted a small business
