able Meeting.
The second meetins' of the campaign
scries at MuockV C.irncr was of a ditTer-
ent character to the first gathering at
Sumter. No ofT.nsive personslities
were passed b^tweee-the- two eaedi-
dates, McLaurin and Irby, and their
criticism of each other was mild and
inolTenslve. The other candidates were
not present.
The following is the press report of
the speeches :
Col. Irby said that there had been no
change in his political sentiments since
IHxt), and that now, a^ then, be was a
‘‘true blue It 'former.’' He wanted it
und"r>luud mat be proposed conduc

exposed the tricks used In getting In
ground rice for beer making. Hit eyes
on this were optned by a Carolinian
writing him that be thought that those
who drank rice ought to pay as much
as those who ate rice. His tariff fight
was for equality and non-sectional lines.
Mr. MeLiurin’s tariff views as ex
pounded took well and brought hitb
much applause agd personal congratu
lation. The audience did not number
quite a hundred.. — —

Vo talk about a duty 00 rloa and lumber

but that the people in the up-coun try
who ate the rloa wouldn't rejoice that
they were being made to pay tribute to

side of the coast tier received no benefit
from the duty4)0 rice and did not favor
It, and it was so with other duties Mr.
McLaurin advocated.
He said the audience ought to have
seen and heard McLaurin at Monck’s
Corner. At that place he was a Till-
manite ai the JTiUmanites and cou
never get close enough to Tillman, but
in Charleston it was different. As for
hlmseff, be was a Reformer, but oue
who lAfei always liberal to Charleston.
Irby for the first time mildly ridi
culed McLaurin. He said that when
McLiurin went to Congress he started

A man, evidently from
township or settlement out ol touch
with the times, stepped into one of tbe
big stores down town the other day
and made some trilling purchases
When he came to pay for them he pull
ed out a curious looking pocket book,
which appeared to bq nothing more
than two strong cords apparently
bound together at the long edge, open
ed it from one side, disclosing so me
ooWa securely held under two bands of
tape, and then, shutting Itagnin, open
id It from tbe other side, and showed
tbe notes free. He selected one. n

the' seal that is used at the present
time. ,
A full set of this fractional currency
has ^ face value of $>U)M,ybul in all
some little P rt, babLLity a set wouiU be-worth-from
four to s x times as much as a souvenir
or i>a collector of money. It is also
probable that tbe greater part of this
money now outstanding as a debt
against the government will never be
presented for redemption, and has been
reso ved into just such sets to be pre
served or perhaps sold when the notes
have become even more rarer tnan they
are now. The government will make
no objection to this, as every note de
stroyed or kept in this way is just so
much la Uncle Ham's pocket.

be was right la bis oplakoae. He bad
also aoae nis share of tbe work for re
form when It took fighting. He was
Piday as staunch a Reformer ss ever,
but this dlu not prevent him seeing
good things about others or in associa
ting with honest and true men. His
work in Congress bad thrown him out
of touch with the local politicians, and
be knew nothing of combims. He
vowed be knew nothing of and never
suggested a combine with Mr. Gonzales
or any one else, and that as Mr. Gon
zales was an honest man be would have
resented any such proposition. He
said Mr. Gonzales bad lauded tbe
speech of Tillman on the armor plate
fraud and gave credit where deserved.
The Greenville News favored Col. Irby
more than anv other candidate, and it
was time for CoL Irby to repudiate 1 the
assistance of Goidbug Editor Bali. Mr.
McLaurin said he would repudiate Ed
itor Ball's support and exiled him a hall
of vanity and vitriol. When Til'man
ran he would have to go before tbe

Tbe audience broke out Into ap

Barnwell said : “That's enough ; he
has explained be meant no disrespect.”
Col. Irby, amid the applause, then
cried out: “Then that is tantamount
to saying the report was a lie.*' That
was all on the report, and there the In
cident closed.
Col. Irby then went on to say that all
be wanted was fair play and that be
expected to have it or die in tbe at
tempt. This provoked much applause.
Col. Irby begged pardon for this per
sonal allusion and then went on to tell
how certain he was of winning!- He
did notown or control any papers ; first,
because he had not the money to buy a
paper or with which to subsidize pa
pers all over the State and tbe South
He did not want to buy puffiag. He said
be did not expect to get justice at tbe
bands of tbe papers, and that be never

poor people got -justice. (Applause.)

out of the business is which the >r trust'
is interested. When this power is ex
ercised it is clearly persecution, and
K rsecution that compels men to re
sin from carrying on whatever busi
ness they may prefer is Cruel and odi
ous. Moreover, as it prevents the citi
zen from the free employment of his
faculties, and may ev6n so limit his ac
tivities as to decrease materially his
earning capacity—for a man prospers
In proportion as he is at liberty to di
rect his energies in tfic channels of his
choice—this kind of'persecution is con
trary to the spirit of our institutions.
Whether or no it is contrary to ex
isting law remains to be seen. But if
it is not, the law,should be made to ap
ply. These “trusts,” or combinations
of capital, are the creatures of tbe law.
It is intoierah e that they should be
more powerful than their creator, and
that they should he permitted to do
what tbe State would ool dream of un
dertaking. There should be no one la

of the reports estimate condition up to
