The county ^campaign meeting closed Saturdaiy mt Walterboro in the presence of the largest crowd of voters assembled anywhere Is the county during the progreas of the campaign. It was estimated that there were at least 2.000 persons present at this closing meeting, and there was no lack of thrill# for the audience to add spice and variety, A flstcuff on the stand between Com- missioner Moore and B. R. Ulmer marked the climax of a very dra. matte seene. The ladies of the town led by Mrs. W. B. Ackerman. Mrs. Hugo S. Strickland, Mrs. H. W. Black. Sr., Mrs. E. M, Jones and many others furnished dinner for the large crowd which was served at 1 o’clock at Klein’s park, near the speakers stand. ... Meetings were held at Peniel on Wednesday, Cottageville Thursday and Walterboro Saturday.’ These meetings were well attended and great interest was shown in the speeches. One of the most remark able features of the meetings ^ was the presence of so many ladies who followed the speeches with great in terest, • Tlie Peniel Meeting. were at least 600 people at Peniel Wednesday to hear the speeches of the candidates, and to enj[oy the hospitality of the good peo ple of this section, who spread most bountiful picnic dinner. The | speeches at this place were all along [the same lines as at former meet ings. Nothing sensational was de veloped. and the only “ginger” was injected into the race for highway I commissioner. Mr. Mohre was rafher caustic in his reply to certain char ges made by B. R. rimer, in refer. |enre to the way he had conducted the affairs of the office in violation of law. Moore denounced the state monts by Ulmer as false, using th.» shorter term, and it was thought ther,. would he some trouble between them, hut rimer did not notice the Istatment. ^ Meeting at ( otlageville. The meeting at CottageviUe was one of the best of the entire cam paign. There were between 1.50<* and 2.000 people present to hear the i speakers, and to pfijoy the bounti ful picnic dinner/served as only t’ot tageville folks can serve a din ner. Tbt speeches at this were above the average, every speaker doing his best. The au- diehoe listened well and there were ^ho interruptions. Practically the same speeches were made here as at other places, except L. C. Padgett, candidate for county superintendent of education, criticized the adminis tration of Mr. Strickland, claiming that he had done no more than his duty, and that any other man would have done the same. He referred to the law governing the placing of school books, which the speaker said was being violated in not having books in every township. The charge made by B. R. Ulmer that J. E. .Moore had drawn salary for the entire year, or as much as the law allowed, when he had served only three months, at the time he was legislated out of office in 1912 and succeeded by Col. J. W. Hill. This law provided that the chairman of the highway commissioners should receive pay for not more than 75 days, according to Mr. Ulmer, and that Mr. Moore had put in a claim for $375 and the other members of the commission had put In their claims for only a few days each. Ulmer read a, certificate from the county'auditor that Moore had paid himself the entire claim shortly af ter he went into office in 1915, al. though this claim as charged by Ul mer. had been disapproved by th Commissioner ami Board under Col Hill when presented by Moore, mat ly three years before it was paid. Meeting hi Walterboro Saturday. The final meeting was held Satur day and was the most exciting of the campaign. Here it was that the charges and counter charges made by Commissioner Moore and Mr. Ul mer camp to a climax. The candi dates for highway commissione- were the last 'To speak before the dinner hour, and it was just prior to the noon -etess that the climax came. Mr Moore was the last speaker, and just before he closed h.» brought charges against Col. Hill that he had marked the salary claim rejected only as W was going out of office, and he further charged that Col. Hill had had some small claims assigned te himself. In reference to Ulmer’s charges Mr. Moore ex plained that he had rendered the full service called for in the act and that he should have been paid for it. and that he had this claim ap. proved by his full board just prior to their going out of office, and that Coi. Hill wcruld not approve the claim, asd had held It until he was going out of office before marking it "rejected.” Capt. Moore the n brought four charges against Mr Ulmer, among | which was the one that when he wa# | commissioner for Bells township he claim rejected just before he went out of offleo, but explained that It tad been disapproved by the entire board on advice of the county attor ney* when presented. He explained the aasignmant of the two small claims. Chairman Howell then permitted Mr. Ulmer to reply to the charge* brought against him. Mr. Ulmer stated that he had not gotten the couny mules till he 12th of July and that he had built more roads in three mouths with them than had ever been built in a year before, and he therefor?, denied that he had used the mule* on his farm. He exclaim ed. ’’This charge ia maliciously false, or in other words a willful lie.” No sooner had he said this than Mr. Moore, who was standing within a few feet of the speaker, ruahed at him. Mr. Howell tried to get be tween the speaker and Mr. Moore, but did not succeed in preventing Moore from hitting Ulmer a glanc ing blow in the face. Ulmer rushed Moore back and they went off the speakers stand onto the ground. Priends rushed up and managed to get them separated before either was hurt. Ulmer was bleeding slightly from a scratch on his face. It look ed for a few minutes as if there would be a general mix-up, but Chairman Howell finally succeeded with the aid of the policemen, to get the crowd off the stand, and quiet restored. He announced that there must be no further disorder or he would adjourn the meeting. He also stated that he did not deem it wise for Mr Ulmer to. reply to the other charges for fear that it would bring further disorder, that it was evident what the reply would be. The crowd seemed to take the same view of th^ matter, and Me. Howell introduced “Uncle Isham” Dopson, but just then dinner was announced and the meet ing was adjourned. The other speakers addressed the audience in the afternoon, the meet ing being closed with the address of Heber R. Padgett, Ksq., who spoke last following Col. Cleorge Warren, candidates for solicitor. The largo crowd departed for their homes fol lowing the speaking and the cam paign for 1916 wa^ over. Furnished Cold Drinks. Among the attentions siiowq the crowd of victors to Walt " bopt Sat urday was the furnishin - ; of cold drinks, consisting of icol tea and watef. by Brown Furniture r 'ompany and Taylor’s.

In addition fo this these same par ties leased the Colonial Theatre and gave fre£ tickets to a show there in the afternoon. —This popular show- house was packed for the perfor manoe and those who went were loud in their praise of the generosity and thoughtfulness of the donors.
