The uau- al, or perhapa It wonld be better to say the unusual, speeches of the va rious candldatea were delivered to an audience composed of at least two hundred voters, a number of boys arxl young men. and a goodly number of ladles and young ladles. This was a most orderly meeting and those present were about the best listeners the campaign party has run up on jet Id Its round over the county. The candidate* (or county superintendent of education^ led off. and those for county auditor came lr.st. There waa no “fire” in any of the speeches, nothing even mildly exciting. It was expected that there would be some more of the Ruffin spat between the coun ty superintendent of education can didates, but the only reference undo to the Ruffin affair was by Mr. Pad- gftt who spoke last and said that it seemed his opponents had cool ed off som^ since the Ruffin meeting A.
