'Between three and four hundred people assembled here Saturday to hear the candidates for B. ll. Com missioner and the four candidates for congress. The meeting was held in the Court House and was called to or der soon after 10 o'clock by County Chairman C. S. McCall, who in troduced John IT. Earle of Green ville as the first speaker. The speech es of Messrs Earle, Mobiey, Boyd Evans and Garris were about thc same as those wc published last week. Mr. Gillniat was not present and Mr. Canslcr made an earnest appeal for tho voters to pul a farm er on the Board this tim?. Mr. Evans having lcd the ticket two years ago with 1800 majority and niue men in the race is, as be says, the logical candidate, and therefore deserves better treatment this year. The four candidates l'or congress came next. Mr. James Norton, who has already done good service as congressman, led off on questions of moment-finance, tari ll', local im provements, better mail facilities 1 i lit* Mr. li vans bc is the logical candidate. Mr. W. V. Dargan of Darling ton, disappointed many of his .friends by reading bis speech from a type writlcn paper, lt was a good paper on tin; wonderful progress of our country since the war, hut hav ing to read it, it lost much of its interest. However, he will visit bur people, and they will learn more ol' him. Arr. .1. 10. ICllerbe, who is no stranger came next and made a good talk, but be dropped bis candy, when ho jumped .on Mr. Kagsdalc, and, as Mr. Kagsdalc was tho lael speaker, gave bim an opportunity to handle bini to great disadvantage which Mr. llagsdale did not 1'ail lo usc to his own advantage. The court bouse was crowded most of thc i imo and every < and i - date was heartily cheered. Thc speakers got through soon after .1 many ol (hum I--.: cm -J < l?c?l .frO.V'V'.

THE FOURTH AT MEDLIN. A Largo Crowd - Plenty TM 12?t -Address, &c: We learn that the celebration at Medlin Springs on thc M li was n grand adair. There was a large crowd, plenty to eat, and plenty of ; -cod mineral water to drink. The leading feature': of the occasion was the presence ol'( .'apt W. II. Mc Iutyre's new military company, which went down from Clio as mounted in fantry. During the day company drills were given "and heartily ap plauded by the crowd. In the absence of Col. McIntyre, Mr. W. W. Brnco, ti candidate for tho House ?? Representatives, was pr?s??'! info Ber vice and responded with a capital gpo; ch. Hearty good cheer prevailed and !l 1 .. . r,!i"!<j?????lv -input. ino lozen ii..^.. -.I" j will not be allowed to sing in Catho lic chinches. The Pope has so ordered it. The residence of li. C.

'flu? Chicago Tribune of July fi, publishes a partial iht ol'eas ualties resulting' [rom the .Uh of July celebration all over the country. The lisl gives tho lo tti) number ol' dead as twenty four; injured 1,5184 and a proper ty loss of $177,800. A year ago the accidents re ported on the night of July li h were forty-eight dead and :!.:?! I injured. In twenty-four hours the total luid jumped to fifty two dead and 8,6?f? injured. .-'.j ...v.iT'.vii'-;?rr ,.' vu.? 11 ? ? vri 'jasun i ri)J Glorious Fourth. Tho fourth of Jul? was duly obser ved by a large percentage of our peo ple. Most of the stores were closed uud tho streets had a Sunday silence lu the afternoon about 220 went over on tho traiu to Choraw to witness a gumo of ball butween Cheraw and Wi tniugton. We heard of no accidents or incidents anywhere. The weather wac warm but clear ami the day passed oil' pleasantly, except that the supply of ice gave out and many had to do with out their cream nud ice tea. Another Hail Storm On Saturday atternoon another hailstorm passed through the section's of Gibson, Laurel Hill, Laurinburg, tlasty. Colton and corn fared badly and hundreds of acres were swept clean. Allen Stony brought us some cottou stems. The fields looked like an oat Geld after the passage of the mower. The storm went south, to Clio, Latta Dothan nud Dillon playing havoc with corn and cotton. The colored Baptist church at Dillon was blown down uud wrecked. Lahor That Counts. The chaingnng is the heat system of organized labor that we have yet ween. Those who have seen some of the linc work dono by the chaingang of this county, now under the control of Senator McCall, and caret ul ly guarded anti systematically worked by Chief guard Jessie Jones, on the public roads aud on his large farms will vouch for what we here say. The last piece of good work done hy the gan<r is tho clcariug anti cleuuiug up of the lot in rear of the new Metho dic' Chm eh. Only ihose who have visited thc grounds cnn form any ideu I of the nice work done there. Messrs li. JJ. Kirkwood and C. E. Breedeu took charge of this work of beautify ing, milking a driveway for vehicles and placing hitching posts. Labor around town is so uncertain nnd un reliable these gentlemen appealed to Mr McCall, and he consented to let Mr. Jones with his force ot 20 per form the work and it was of course well done. Thanks to Senator McCall and ike gentlemen above uutued. Saved From Torriblo Death. Tho family of Mrs. M. L. ! Bobbitt of* Bargertou. Tenn., saw her dying and wei*.' powerless to save her. The most - k i ! ! lu I physicians and every remedy used failed, while cori???iniiou wa? siowiy but -uivly taking her life. In this terrible hour Dr. King's New Discovery for Con* sumption turned despair into joy.
