To Tlie Democratic Voters of Kershuw County. A report is being circulated that I was brought out for the Senate as a tool of Mr. M. L. Smith to defeat Capt. L. L. Clyburn. The report is without founda tiou in fact, and is a malicious falsehood. Mr. M. L. Smith had nothing whatever to do with my coming out for the Seuate. The voters of Kershaw Couuty know very well that my name was mentioned for the Seuate several times iu the papers dur ing the year prior to my an nouncement. I am running 011 my own merits and not at the iustigation of any1 individual. The voters of Kershaw Couu ty kuow rue too well to believe that I would allow myself to be m ape a tool of by any one. I am l.ot made of that kind of stuff. Respoct fully, W. R. Hough. Another "Old Mollie" Dead. This time she's a mule, a faith ful ofd farm animal, Uie proper ty.^ ^fr. A. B. Raboti, of West Wiiterde.

If there ever was a time ir. the history of the Democratic party for the manifestation of loyalty and patriotism on the part of its members, it, is right now. If we are to win a victory and elect a President t wo yen rs lience, we must first elect a House ?(" Representatives this fall. A Democratic House can and will investigate every department of the Goverment. With all of them honeycombed by "graft," the edges of which, only, have been touched by recent exposure and prosecutions, there will be a revelation of rottenness that will astound the country and create a demand for a Democra tic administration to clean the Government workshop. To win the House we need money to defray legitimate ex penses and get out our vole. We have no protected monopo lies from which to draw to till our coffers, us they do those of the Republican party. We must, therefore, appeal to loyal Demo crats for contributions. Will you send us $1.00 at once, and in return for this we will send you copies of our campaign literature issued by the Commit tee. You will have the thanks of the entire Democratic party for your favorable res|>onse to our request. Address all re in ittancos to J. M.Griggs, Chairman, Mousey Building, Washington, D. C.

The campaign meeting at Be thune ou Tuesday was the usual successful affair. Those people up there always do things when they set in. Their hospitality is unbounded. To such extent does it go that no one ever visits the thriving town without a de sire to return. The uudiences they furuish candidates are al ways good natured and attentive. The roll cull of candidates re sulted in the discovery of no ab sentees. Hons. T. J. Kirkland and W. K. Thpinpson, and "Doc" Hammond completed the string of cheerful seekers after the public good, the positions they iseelcbeiug merely incidental to their motives. The meeting was called to or der about 10 o'clock by the chair man, Mr. N. A. Bethune, and was harmonious throughout. The candidates for senator open ed the ball, Mr. VV. R. Hough leading in the usual speech with several rather clever alterations aud amendments. Captain L. L. Clyburn made decidedly the best speech he has yet delivered, go ing into the dispeusary question with absolute thoroughness. 1 His remarks were received with close attention. The Representatives were then introduced in the following or der: Kirkland, Bethune, . Schrock, Lang ley and Richards, j Mr. Kirkland was emphatic in his denuncfatiou of dispensaries in any form, but thought acoun ty dispensary preferable to that hot-bed of corruption, the State dispensary. Did not. approve the ] repeal of the lien law. Had con sistently opposed prohibition, and did uot favor it now. High < license the proper solution of the liquor question. Mr. Bethune followed with his ( usually good, but this time bet- , ter speech. Is still a piactical prohibitionist, but believes iu the State dispensary, in which 1 position he was vigorously up- 1 held by two Darlington voters who furnished the most of the appiause given any of the speak ers. Mr. Schrock opened up some what tamely owing to physical weakuess caused by the extreme tieat, but soon warmed up over his subject which was largely tne G. M. I., to which he showed no mercy. He called it a vile thing, a cause of discredit to the State. Favored county dispen saries simply as a practical ques tion. While not a practical or auy other kiud of a prohibition ist, he asserted that a prohibition law would curtail the sale of whiskey and therefore not to be objected to on the ground that it would not. Is distinctly opposed to high license, as the people would get eveu worse liquor un der such a law than they now get under the present abomiua ble system, if such was possible. Wauls the lien law killed. Mr. Langlev was at his best ou this occasion, aud made the best showing he could with a bad cause, the state dispensary. Ho was roundly applauded on closing. Mr. Richards bronght out practically nothing new at this meeting. Made a capital talk on the same bad subject. Lam basted The State and News ami Courier, complaining bitterly of the injustice done him by the tirst named. He had the hearty sympathy of several in the au dience on his several grievances. Closed by advising Ins hearers not to vote for any candidate for senate of house who did not favor the State dispensary. The above speakers were fol lowed by Senator A. C. Latimer in a splendid talk on good roads which evolced the only general applause of the clay. An adjournment was then taken until after dinner. All the candidates for the sdveral other offices made good ? talks, auk all had their friends. We regret that we cannot give a synopsis of the speeches but time and space will not permit. Dr. Strait was on the ground, but had no opportunity to speak on account ot' rain. We thank the good people for their kindnesses, and hope to bo with them oil many other simi lar and other occasions.

'()?. Ot. Bane Bull. Sometime, ou or about April 5th, 1801 we entered upou the field of human action. Our com ing was uot accompanied by the blare of trumpet, etc. , but the war l commenced just one week later, land our respected pater was wont to observe thai we brought, it on. However lliat may be, we, eveu at that early age made | all lauds of a noise for we was as sickly as a mangy cat until we learned better. Haviug success fully passed the stage or weakly babyhood, developed into sturdy boyhood, arrived at and passed vigorous young manhood, and gradually drifted to the halcyon period of middle age, it would be supposed that we had lea rued enough not to holler when we at tended a base ball game, but that is just what we did at the park on last Thursday evening. When we returned from that game we was as hoarse as Hen Tillman is supposed to be after delivering one of those $200 and exj>euses speeches on the nigger quesliou to a gang of blue bel lied Yankees who are about as much interested in our problem as they are iu Prof Garner learn ing monkey talk iu the wilds of Africa. Well, we went to that garte. We saw the Camden nine give it away in the tirst inning, the fea ture of that inning being a beau tiful play by the Camden center fielder to home base, retiring the visitors after they had made two runs, to neither of which they were entitled had the Camden battery doue its duty. The second inning was marred by a punk decision by the um pire who called the third strike on a Camden batsman when the ball was at least a foot to right of base. This decision retired the side. Nothing doiug in the third in ning except that Darlington scored one on au error by catcher. The fourth inuiug was made memorable by a beautiful triple play by Camden from pitcher to second base aud tlieuce to tirst. The lif tlx inuiug was a corker, resulting iu another score for Darlington, the features being a two base hit to left field, and magnificent catch by the Cam den tirst baseman. Sixth inning. No good for us. Double play by Darlington from secouu base to first was very tine and was generously ap plauded. Seventh inning; Stili nothing doing for Camden. Inning mark ed by another punk decision by umpire against us. Man clearly out on first and called safe. There was some more stutTy playing by Camden in this in ning. The eighth inning. Our folks seemed to think it was aoout time to begin to play ball as it should be played, and pounded the visitors to the tune of three runs, one less than was neces sary to tie. We could't or didn't do any more, so the game went to Darlington by the score of 4 to 3. The features of the eighth and ninth innings were a splendid fly catch in center held by Cam den and a two base hit by Darl ington. Rain on Friday stopped the game after two innings had been played with no scores made by either team. Saturday's game closed the season of 1900 with a victory for us by a soore of T> to 4. This victory also secured the pennant for the Camden club by ail easy lead over Darlington. | We congratulate the club, and take the occasion to commend the team as a clean, gentlemeiily set of young men, whom, next season, we hope we will have with us again.
