County Chairman Itainsford, forci bly, gracefully, with no reference to fruit culture, made appropriate re- I marks, stated his platform and an nounced as first speaker Col.

Hunter paid tribute i briefly to the historic record of Kdge- ticld county, more briefly referred to ids record, then used his 10 minutes to the discussion of some issues con cerning his candidacy.

At the very tip top of this plum tree there is a plum of dignity and honor, a revolving lighthouse variety, being dazzling at times and totally in- visisble at ot hers. This gubernatorial plum was more than glanced at by aspirants today. Candidate Ansel first gave a lesson on fruit harvesting and preservation.

Ho did speak and when he stopped aud said, “Sly honored friend Talbert ouue to my town and spoke, so did uy distinguished friend Till man. and no one yelled 5for Heyward” —the cheers of the house greeted him.

YELLED 4.1 MINUTES. Lieut. Gov. Tillman was received •with long continued cheering and ap plause. By this time, however, the rkval factions were wrought to such frenzy that Chairman Rainsford, Tal bert and Tillman could do absolutely .nothing. No appeal had any effect'. The noise grew louder at frenzied in tervals and then decreased when throats could no longer bear the strain to yell again when rqpewed strength came.

Mr. Mc Mahan then gave his closely listening hearers some facts well worth con sideration. Then recorded his pur pose and his work, independently and resolutely defending ins position, taken solely for advancement of needs of tlie office which lie held. Mr. Mc Mahan had time only for a brief statement regarding ids limited re sponsibility for issues charged* by bis' opponent. Mr. McMahan was earn estly listened to and closed with cheers and applause. Again the plum tree was more gently shaken as candidates for the office of comptroller general sought—four of them—to reach only one plum. Sena tor Sharpe spoke tirst, followed by Messrs.

Bandemonium reigned again, Tal bert could not lie heard amid counter cheers for Talbert and, Tillman. This ftas the most ^H'rsistontly noisy de monstration of the‘meeting up to this time. Col. Talbert stopped his speech amid this absolute babel of mixed noises. He was presented with dow ers and retired. THE FACTIONS YELLING. Air splitting Edgetieled yells, loud and continued greeted the appearance of Col. Tillman. Again counter cheers for Tillman and Talbert greeted the ears with vehement roar. Tlie chairman’s gavel was of no avail and for a long time Col. Tillman faced the cheering, noisy crowd. The continu ous heating of the chairman's gavel addl'd to this with no quieting effect.

When tills reslstence had been overcome they were required to crush out a general system of guerrilla warfare cnoductcd among a people speak ing unknown tongues, from whom it was almost impossible to obtain the information necessary for successful pursuit or to guard Against surprise and ambush. The enendies by whom they were surrounded were regardless of all obligations of good faith and of all the limitations which humanity has imposed upon civilized warfare. Bound themselves by the laws of war, bur soldiers were called upon to meet every device of unscrupulous treachery and to contemplate without reprisal the Inflictions of barbarous cruelties upon their comrades and friendly na tives. * * * Widely scattered over a great archipelago extending a thousand miles'from north to south, the gravest responsibilities, involving wife of said insurrections: Provided, however, That the par don and amnesty hereby granted shall not include such persons committing crimes since May 1, 1D02, in any pro vince in the archipelago in whidi at tlie time civil government was estab lished, nor shall It include such per sons as have been heretofore finally convicted of tlie crimes of murder, rape, arson or robi»cry by any mili tary or civil tribunal organized under the authority of Spain or the United States, imt special application may be made to the proper authority for par don by any person belonging to the exempted classes, and such clemency as is consistent with humanity and justice will be liberally extended, and further.
