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. Thes..* jirtgre- ive
firms had a booth constricted and
from this was dispensed ail day re
freshing drinks y to all w ho came.
M^fe than 6<'«> pounds of ice were
used, and IV large tubs of ice t<-a.
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.
