HPUIUI?
Mr. J. T. Duncan wm thnnextipeAk
er. He had been to Cbnrleeton the
night previous and it was generally
rumored that he came back
with Information about bond d
other things. Mr. Danoan in opening,
begged en attentive hearing because
he would tell some things that would
demand attention from tho people of
South Carolina. He said he wm
farmer, but bad studied law. Ho had
entered the race from a sense of duty.
Unfortunately t«o years ago he wm
against Ellerbe. It wm my and your
misfortune that he wm not elected
Governor. He went to tho Legislar
ture a John Gary Evans man. but with
others he now regretted his action. It
1 do nothing else except make Gover
nor Evans clear his record, I will have
done him and the State a service. It
Is an entire mistake m to a ring or
combination. There never wm a time
when the State officials acted more
~ IwAwpsndantly than now. He did not
mean to say at Manning lhat the Stale
officials opoosed tbs Governor. Their
motto wm hands off and in that Ben
TIUman join*
He referred to his friendship and
support of TUIman, who had said Fri
day ne would keep his hands off. That
he luu kept this pledge can be seen by
the papers. Tillman and Bates have
made their statement and have left
the Governor to make his own defease.
Tillman and Bates went to Hew York
and they would not have pocketed any
commlssiOM. Dr. Bates afterwards
did some clerical work for which the
syndicate paid him. The question Is
not what a glorious thing the refund-
lag business was. We all were In

question is whether Governor kvass

He's a farmer who hM failed In busi

He is trying to run on my bad charac

Ben Tillman made no explanation for
him. He (Evans) had only to explain
his actions to the people and n<>t to :
the immaculate Mr. Duncan. Tinman
and myself are friends and he supports
me when 1 am right. I am not his 1
servile tool, like Mr. Duncan was
when he consulted Tillman aboit his

that there is no ring In the State House

Mr. Puucan bad a ten minutes' reply
He declared that if this crowd would
meet him and Evans here the day after
tbo campaign closed, he would defeat
him unanimously. Evans wm dodging

the glory of South Carolina, and to
hear him toil it, everything had been

credit for what they have done.’’.
It was hardly necessary for him to
take up the dirty flings and insinua
tions of Evans—the saintly Evans—
who had alluded to himself as pure as
a little girl. “Ob God, if 1 dare bring
out what I know, South Carolina would
be appalled at the story, the facts.
Pile on, McDuff, and damned be he
who says enough. Let the ‘game cock,’
as he calls himself, measure strengtn

referred to me. They sometimes make

If in history the name of Evans ap
peared tn the Senate, the wonder of
futuro generations would be, " how
the dev il did be get there.’’
The Governor talked of insinuations
when he had been living on them for
two years.
Ben Tillman had said to him, " You
deserve no fee." It was an agreed
case—no argument—bnmght simply
for form. Ben Tillman hM showed

gratifying to the pride and may tickle
the vanity of the citizens of the Re

and unquenchable love of Independence

The announcement in the Register
that Gen. Hugh S. Farley was a candi
date for Congress in the Fourth Dis
trict was very much of a surprise. Gen
eral Farley takes a campaign like some
men take a tonic. Stump-speaking
braces him up and improves his health
wonderfully.
The advent of Judge Earle upon the
stump is likely to Inject more life into
the campaign, w&ich has been dull in
comparison with the exciting contests
on the hustings in 1X90, 1X92 and 1X94.
It may be that the small attendance at
the meetings so far hM been the result
of lack of interest, or it may have been
caused by th-j necessity for farmers to
stay at home and fight grass at this
season. Up countrymen say that the
meetings in the Piedmont section,
which will be .held when the need for
work on crops Is less urgent, will be
attended by thousands instead of the

nga eo far. It it said that if the in

an Answer—The Dispensary ftusl-
nnaa Again to the Front. ^
It Is unlikely that a campaign meet
ing held in this State in 20 years hM
been so sl^fnly attended as the . one
here today. It wm intended to open
the meeting at H o’clock and that
candidates should speak from the high
porch of the court house to the antici
pated multitudes below. But when 11
o’clock arrived there wm no multitude,
neither a crowd. There were a few
knots of townspeople, so a postpone
ment wm bad till 12 o’clock. The
crowd (ailing to materialize, there wm
a caucus m to whether or not the can
didates should speak. It seems that
they are fond of speaking, for they
spoke; not from the balcony, for the
balcony could hold the audience. They
were all Mked inside, where there
were front seats to spare. There were,
all told, candidates, correspondents,
whites and negroes, 122 people present
when the meeting was called to orderr
Of these 43 were negroes.
Captain Ward, county chairman,
called the meeting to order, Mking
for an attentive hearing for all. The
courteous people of this old town,
whether agreeing or not with the
speakers, let np candidate take his seat
without giving him some little en-
couragdment.

Mr. Duncan whs soil-v the Govereor
was not able to do his Mat: three dsya
more like yea today—his best—would
have defeated him. What tho people
wanted wm a straight, unequivocal
statement. The Governor should have
again referred to him m that "little
fellow," that "little clerk," who dared
to come and criticise the Governor.
He comes here to-day, saying he will
pitch his campaign on a high, honor
able, plane when he has u»ed sneers and
abuse for^sq pn the stand. (Cheers.)
In reference to his being "kicked
out of the Legislature for folding tro
offices,” Mr. Duncan said there were
twenty-five men in the Legislature
under the same circumstances as him
self, and twenty-three bad held on.
This had been a very significant mat-
ter. •
Mr. Duncan explained that when he
accepted the clerkship in the secretary
of State’s office, he had been told he
need not re9ign from the house.
In answer to a question, the Govern
or stated that there was about $4X,000
undivided in the Baltimore court.
‘Then,” said Duncan, "there must
have already been a division." He
wanted an answer to this question,
Mked already and not answered : "Did
you have any agreement, understand
ing or contract from the beginning to
divide the spoils?” We want to know
it.
Mr. Duncan said that the Governor,
as a member of a very important board
borrowed money to increase the ca
pacity of the Mylum, borrowed money
at not less than <> per cent., and loaned
sinking fund money at less interest,
simply borrowed back the State's
money at interest.
In reference to that dispensary bill,
Mr. Duncan said Barber bad told him
the Governor had drawn it.
Governor Evans—Mr. Barber told
me bo had not said • -.
Mr. Duncan—He told me at Manning
ft ~wm so and I can get s statement
from him.
Governor Evans—Get the proof; I
say its untrue.
Mr. Duncan-I have as much eight
to be believed as you. Barber told me
It wm true: he wm oo his way to your
room, aad I believe m aa honest maa
that hs told you the same thing.
Governor Evans, in reply, called oo

An opinion handed down by the su
preme court is likely to send mid chill*
running up and down tiie spinal col
umns of modern day seers, fortune-tell
ers and the like who have firrn wont to
find a rich harvest in Michigan. It is
evident thst the learned just ices do liot
take much stock in the ability of the
seventh sou of a seventh son to tell the
future. This intimation of the views of
the court was contained in an opinion
written by Justice Grant and signed by
tho other justices in the case of the Peo
ple versus Arthur Elmer.
Last year Elmer ^appeared at Ionia
and advertised extensively his power to
foretell the future. He was liberally
patronized, but after advising a woman
to leave her husband, saying that while
In a trance he had seen the latter in the
act of killing her, he was arrested m a
disorderly person and convicted.
This judgment was affirmed in an
opinion in which the English statute
which declares that “every person pre
tending or professing to tell fortunes
shall be deemed a rogue and a vaga
bond’’ was approvingly quoted. The
opinion also approves the language of
the trial judge to the effect that no per
son not a lunatic could believe the ac
cused possessed the power to foretell
the future.—Lansing (Mich.) Journal

Chairman Ward, in reference to Mr
Norton's joke, made a pleasant hit on
the dispensary, aad then introduced
Governor Evans m the next apenker.
Governor Eraas excused himself for
making a abort speech, saying his
throat wm sore. He spoke in a con
versational tone, going at once ink)
the bond matter, and In condensed
form giving his bond statement. He
had Mked at each meeting, said the
Governor, for an honest man ^hQ be
lieved him guilty after hearing hla
statement to hold up his hand. Not
one had been held up.
Just then a young man standing 15 feet
in front of the Governor, held aloft his
right hand.
“ Do you believe me guilty ? * hekod
the Governor.
The citizen nodded his head.
Governor Evans—Why, you have not
heard my case and are willing to con
vict beiore the evidence. Well, I am
satisfied with your verdict and vote. I
cannot convince my enemies that I did
not steal $40,000 if I gave the evidence
on a stack of Bibles. After further
continuing in the bond matter, the
Governor turned to the citizeu and
rek d if his explanation wm not plain.
Tne citizen replied that it was. He
had understood the Governor to ask
any man believing him guilty to hold
up his hand, and, said the citizen, that
being my belief at that time, I popped
it up.
Governor Evans begged his pardon
for what he had said, stating that the
explanation had been perfectly satis
factory.
Governor Evans said " Bunch ’’ Mc-
Bee bad gone to Baltimore to look into
this thing. " Bunch" wm a pretty
slick fellow and he wm likelv to find
out anything. He bad ooipe back, so
he wm informed, and advised Butler
not to take up the bond matter. The
testimony of Mr. Rhind showed that
he had stated that oo one had any inter
est in his oommission except himself.
There were three fees—Bates', Evans’,
and Venable's, that bad fcoGbeen paid.
At to Earle, he did not thiak it fair
that he should not come before the
people under the rates of the Decno-
Ge party. But he wm glad to see
