PERIODS AND BUT LITTLE APPLAUSE
It U.*a<hajrd matter to arrive at
any eonciafeion aa to the way the au
proper actions on the part of the
crowd, and he believed there would
be no necessity for any drastic ac
tion.
’ By agreement among the speakers
the time for the candidates was
shortened, in order that the speak*
ing ml?ht he concluded in time to
take the r.ftorroon train which left
at S o’clock. The time therefore 'or
the speakers was very short, the
speaker* being allowed ten minutes
except those for goveraor, who had
a,half honr.
For Stjitc Ti cjisnrer. .
S. T. Carter, of Edgefield coun
ty, was the first speaker. He
gave a short sketch of his career
and told how he attehded Clemson
college for two j ?ars end then went*
home and helped care for his moth
er and educate the younger mem
ber* of the family.
"Our people,” said the speaker,
"are Interested In bonds, because OF
the Interest we pay every y**r.’’ He
had had experience hrvlng had four
teen years experience, having gone
through th«* positions in the
8 f ate treesurcr’s office to that pf
chief clerk, md now ho asks fo-
promotion ip the place of h's chief
who Is'retiring. Mr. Cartfr told ?
joke with *ood effect and clos d
with applause.
^Pfte nevt •«p«*ak j r was D. W. Mr-
f^aurltv, of P'llon county, who is
came next. These seemed to be the | r'ldflrg to rbo pcsltU n of^ Stat-.
favorites for rAllroad commissiojfter | treastirtr. He referred to hls re-
ftnd treasurer resi/ctlvcly^ Evnn ; cord as a Confederate eeddier and ev
.^seemed to make a few votes, but ja -iffbVr of the H^u»c of Repre-
jt was a source cf regret to many Isentatr^p ir which hr served <'
that Attorney Gererp! .I.yon could I •‘••rr rtfjtrrirc to the bend issue

urday oa the question of Rlease
vuud Jones. There was a lot more
motto for Blea&e than for Jones..
mud If this U to be taken as a st^nd
ard, thei- the HI ease crowd was In
th# majority. Still there were a lot
o* Jones men present, and they' wer
not crowing about it either. One
reporter stated in his paper, the
▲a~*st*. Chronicle, that the crowd
mas about evenly divided.^ The re-
porter far The Press and Standard
thinks there were more Blease me;;
psMtnt. bat tn what proportion he
weald hardly like to haxr rd a guess
recall, however, scores of
‘•tea who were absent, and
mat very many absent Blease m*"
as he knows them. There sre about
t,m voters in Colleton county. Sup
there were 1,100 present as
estimate the crowd, and that
tit of them are Bleaseltes It Is not
yet a matter of possibilitr to say
which is the strongest candldr’e , n
tbs race for governor in Colleton.
