Smith, of the Gotten Growers’ Aaaoetatton, were present and spoke. The audience were aa responsive to Senator TUI man’s characteristic ut teianeea as at any time since his ap pearance in 1890. He was rigorous and merestlc exhibiting as much ginger In hie efforts and as much in his remarks as he has ever exhibited In Darlington Gcunty. When mak lng bis attack on the " Court House Ring” and the members of the last Legislature who toted >gainst the Rayeor Manning bill and who sup ported the Morgen bill, the old. fami liar ‘‘Hurrah for Tillman I” was as much in etldenoe as eter before. It wes a Tillman audience and Tillman knew it. His admonition to the peo ple to leate at be me thia summer the legislators who had toted against the State dispensary met with a surprls Qtaeraw Tuesday afternoon, tearing the train at Darlington, and with Dan T. McKelthip, T. E. Sligb and Dr. J. 0. Lawton, entered an automo- .bile, and, after spinning around Dar lington, they wended their tqgip to Lesser, where be waa the guest of Ex-Senator J. W. Beasly. The apeak- log was In a pine and oak grore, al most In the centre of the town of Lesser. A stand for the aocommada lion of the speakers and seats for about 100 persona were erected under one of the famous Darling too oaks. The seats prorided were, of eouree, not il (Solent for the crowd and bun dreds of people stood for three hours. Senator Tillman‘i speech was what Is usually designated as “hot stuff.” So iaueh did It Impream the boys that a caucus of dispensary friends was held In Wen's Hall right after the speaking, and the following named gtntUmen will be the dispensary candidates: Wat the Senate and for the Legtalature: George P. Scarbo rough, J. P. Kirven, J. E Miller and W. A. Dowllig. It Is probable that George P. Scar borough will be tbe Senatorial candl date and the others mentlned will be for tbe House.

Messrs Dowling, Kir- ren and Miller hare ell serred in the lower bouse before. Senator Tillman was the eeoond speiker. Hie first speech In this county waa made twenty years ago, and* waa made from the porch of Manuel Maroo’s store at Lydia. Boys who were In the oradle then are now voting. Lethargy waa as great then as now. Be foond then the Court House ring In charge of a few bright young men, who controlled tbe no minations for effloe. He rapped the county . Democratic cxecutlre com mittee tot closing the list of entries so soon. Be thinks it it a trick. He Tbe Darlington Legislature dele gation had no fight to rote to destroy the dispensary. They had'no in Uruetioa from the people of Darling ton to that effect. They were traitors for so doing. He spoke of the Rayeor Mannlrg bill as a cure for the arils of the State dispenarry. He left no doubt but that Senator Manning is in hie opinion the man to elect Gorer nor; he did not say so, but then It sounded so. He referred to the gorernment by newspapers before 1890, when Tbe News and Courier was circulated in nearly erery home. It was thrn edited by Francis W. Dawson, and la now four times as large and fire times u small as then. .Hedeolared tbe Mayor of Charles ton had said he was doing all he oould to suppress blind tigers, but it Is not true.

He op posed a compulsory education law o.> the groud that the United States Constitution, would, under such a law, compel us to eduoate the negro children. There are more negroes In school in thli State today than whites because there are more of them Senator Tillman declared that of late he haa become popular, whereas for a long time he was only notorious. Mr. Smith, president of the South OaroHns Cotton Growers’ Association, spoke on the situation now facing the cotton growers of the South. He de ploted the condition of the cotton gorwers Id graphic language, giving an optimistic color to the future. He gave statistics to prove his argu ments. DOCTOR CAUGHT ST1ALI1Q.

Senator TiUmdii Reviews PoliM* cal History and Shows Why Alkea Incident, *»• Which Cess ed the Old Hero to be 1 Left at Home. Senator Tillman lu some of his speeches haa gone fully Into the sub ject of the oft repeated charge which has been laid at his door for the past seven years, to the effect thatJtn the matter of the dispensary he brnOF. do&ig the thing that lu 1890 heoauied subservient legislature to retire Senator Hampton for—meddling in state affalra wUlle serving as a United States senator. Senator Tillman gives true version of how Senator Hamp ton wai put aside for a new fancy and is of particular interest just at this time. He said: “I want to particularly emphasize In tbe beginning Chat I am toueblng on this unpleasant Incident of tbe past merely for the purpose of rotting an event of history straight In the minds of the people, to prevent The State and other newspapers, which have 11 rod by lying on me.for the past i If lien years, irom lng mining a lie Into the minds of the youth of South Carolina. “Senator Hampton waa' In Canada when tbe campaign Opened In the summer of- 1890. He waa a great sportsman and it was his practise to go there and fish when congress ad journed. He was written to oome noma that Iris presence and Influence were needed. He arrived in the state two or thro# days before the meeting at Colombia, after similar gatherings at Greenville, Spartanburg, Laur n and. other point# in the op ooontey bad shown that the reform move ment was sweeping everything before it. "The meeting at Colombia was the largest and moat slotting we had then had 4 great erowda being prfeeent from Lexington, Sumter, Orangeburg, Fair- field and other nearby points, and averything was my way. Senator Hampton spoks, his utterances being along the line of ~oondilation, plead lng for harmony and good feeling, which waa all right. Then ware other things oouneoted wlth the Co iumbia meeting which it la nnnooosss ry to mention. “Two or three days Is'er we went to Alken, andltppke to the Aiken people about tbe inddent there the for Hampton In 1876 and afterward root hjpn to the senate, and for my part I would be glad to see him re main there llll h* alee; but he has no business mixing In this family fight; he ought ho go home and atey there. ’ The crowd yelled: ‘Let him go home.’ Well, he did g6 home, and we saw nothing more of him Ip that cam paign. "The reformers throughout the state were Insulted, but so much re spect was felt for Hampton that nothing wae said much about It pub- Udy, and the Inddent would have paaeed * ff But for subsequent acts on his part. “There were,two Democratic con ventions that year, tbe first to deter mine whether nominations should be by convention or in the primary, and the aeoond to make tbe nominations I received the nomination, for govern or by an overwhelming majority, every oonnty in the state voting for me except fohr, md the vote for Sum ter, Gen. Eirle’a home, wae devlded The four were Charleston, ^Beaufort, Georgetown and Rloblaod. “Shortly after that the bolters con vention met and nominated Judge A. O. Haskell for governor on what they called the straigbtout ticket. Some time In October, on tbe heela of that convention, Senator Hampton wrote a letter endorsing Judge Haskell's oandidaey, not directly, but Indirect ly, by praising him as a man and good Democrat, one worthy to be trusted, and all that. • “This, of course, was a great sur prise and shook to the Demoorate of the state, who had been taught by both Haskell and Hampton that ‘an independent waa worse than a radi cal. And to complete tbe alienation of the people from their former Idol Senator Hampton did not vote for anybody In the November general election, excusing himself on tbe ground that he had left his reglstra- tlon papers in Washington. He there by refused to vote for the Democratic nominee and had endorsed the Inde pendent ticket. The result'was that when tbe legtalature met with about 120 of my friends In the senate and house the reformer! divided between M. L. Donaldson of Greenville and J. L. M. Irby of Laorena, a tew of my frtendi voting for Senator Hampton, who only reoelrod 40 odd votes. On the third ballot Irby was sleeted. “It oomee In bad grace from The News and Courier to talk to me about leaving Hampton alone, about not naming him. Erory well Informed KILLED OYER CARDS.
