Let every true man in South Car-: olina remember the prohibition election at the August primary. It is a time when the friends of homo and good government should rally. Xo voter should fail to he on hand if j possible and each man who fears j Ciod and loves right should see that ; Ibis vote reads No License. o Wo call the attention of the public to the advertisement of Mr. 1?. M Mcfntyrc, Wilmington, N. C., which appears in this issue of the IfnuAi.n. Mr. Mclntyre has built uj> a large trade in South Carolina by his fair dealings with men, and persons who want good goods for the least money wc would advise them to purchase from It. M. Mclntyre. The Pee Deo Union, which conwcivad. at Greenwood Church on Fri dayarfid Saturday was well attended and gvvod seem to have been accomplished. All the churches of the Union were represented. The writor was only present on Saturday. Several queries were prolitabiy di.s cussed by some of the members of the Union, liev. W. L. Tart made an excellent speech on prohibition in the church Before the Union adjourned a resolution of thnnks was! tendered the people of that commit- j oity for the hospitable manner in which ihoy entertained the Union. The writer stopped with the troas-1 urcr of the County, whoso greatest delight seems to he in making others enjoy themselves. I[o never has anything too good for his guests. o Mr. Jonah Collins, who moved from Marion to this County a few years ago was in conversation with 113 a few days ago and related some 'things which might inspire others rto k/iow.

Mr. Collins, although 82 years old, has managed to dig out fourteen .hundred dollars 011 this place in five years, and now looks to be as young as somo of the forty and fifty year nl.l moil ?o AT .T01tl>ANVILLK. Jordanville, S. C., .July 20. Mr. Smith having some extra time, gave the people of this section to day a chance to beer him 011 the national issues of the day. Undo Jerry is very confident of success in Ilis race for Congress. He does not fear "little curly-haired Johnny," the new Admistration candidate in the least. McL.uirin will have a prettv tough row to hoo for his boss in this district any way you can fix it. Mr. Bigham was expected here to-day also. A gentleman present had heard him in the morning speaking to a erowd of road hands. But the Senator from Florence for some reason did not turn up. By the way, your correspondent was told that Mr. Bigham has been com1 plaining of unfair treatment in not .being notified of the regular connty appointments. Tim HkhaM), it goonis, is in some way mixed up too, with forcing Mr. Bigham to go out upon the hush-whacking expedition into Horry. It was certainly undor tftood by many that the Senator of M. tl A* l&tft 4HO Florence oua <>f the number, 1 who ott the day of the State cam puign speaking in Conway, fixed the appoint mentis for this county, and for this reason it seems that the county chairman himself did not think it necessary to send tUo gentleman an official notification. The meeting opened about one o'clock. Mr. W. K. I'. Cooper, called to the chair and introduced Mr. Smith. Only about twenty-five people gathered under olms in front of the porch from which Mr. Smith spoke, owing to the notice of the monlinor lim-in- -- 1:111 ..b n,i luuo nine tor circulation. Uncle .lorry made one of his usual strong talks, giving his audience a clear logical and conclusive presentment of the wrongs of and remedies for the people. Money is scarce in South Carolina, because so much of the interest on the Statu bonds and the Railroad bonds goes to persons outside the State; because the profit made by factories owned by outsiders goes out of tho State; because the tariff drains South Carolina to the tune of ten millions a year; because money goes North and West for so many things and we see it no moro. By means of the national laws of commerce and trade our people can to some extent counteract those ovils. We want factories all over the South to compote witfc those of the North. A3 ii is all the surplus is in raw material, competition will force it to become manufactured material, as it should be. Our towns should be built up. We want a local market?more non-producers at homo. Mr. Smith thon wont on to discuss in what way legislation could benefit the people discriminated against by unjust Federal enactment. Ho proved that the Republican party is responsible for the disruption in party and society and the distrust in business in the South, In discussing the "something better ' of the Farmers demands Mr. Smith brought up the Slate Banks. These he showed would give an elastic currency. Ho is opposed to mi tional hanks with all things else of centralizing tendencies. By enabling (lie farmers to borrow upon real estate, Stale Banks do away with the private banker, or middle man, between the nation.il bank and the farmer. I[c spoke against Railroads owning land for speculative purposes; in favor of a graduated income tax which could reach bond holders, and the free coinage of silver with an honest dollar. Some time was given to discussing the evils of the tariff which Mr. Smith called bis hobby, The Third Party and its aid for the ltopublicnn policy was discussed. Mr. Smith then gave his position on State politics and his reasons for it. Altogether Mr. Smith's address had a goou effect and it was a pity more could not have heard it. Wnen Mr. Smith had finished Col. Quattlebaum was called to the platform. His speech was interrupted several times and the Col. was drawn out to sonio length, but 011 the whole the speech was well received The Col's, speech was given to discussing the State situation and some of Gov. Tillman's views. There is certainly a surprise in store for those who think that Dog Bluff township is going so overw/te/minr/li/ for Tillman. The crops in and around here arc very good. Bat the extremely hot weather is doing considerable harm. Mr. Rogers of Gallivants Ferry has an extremely fine crop of tobacco which he is now curiae for the 7 ? " " i market Tho farmers say tlint this crop will pay well in this section. The farmers of this section make their own hay. I's cheaper and bettor forage they niy, than northern. Tho Messrs. Ellerbe have some sixty acres planted in crab grass. They expect to make two tons to the acre. J. O, N. o COUNTY CANDIDATES AT OH KENWOOD. Greenwood, Aug. 2, 1892. About one hundred and ten or fifteen voters, tho great majority of whom wore Tillmnnitcs, attended the County Campaign meeting here to-day. It was rather warm, but the candidates were listened to very patiently. Mr. Cooper made tho speech of the day. Mis theme was "Peace and Unity," and tho strong plea for a Cessation of bitterness and ill-feeling had its weight with the audience. Tho chairman, L. D. Long, c died the meeting to order, at about noon, introducing Mr. I. J. Cox who opened tho meeting with prayer. * TffliMraV i iHTnirk ** - Vlltt .. | UH KRY HE KALI Mil. J. T. IIKIM.VM, candidate for Stat? Senator, was then introduced. He said during his introductory remarks, speaking of the caucuses: "I hold that we are as fmo as before, notwithstanding the caucus nominations." Ho rehearsed the history of the Tillman movemont, arguing in favor of all of Tillman's pet views. He 1 ii... nun i l aL - viiiiiiiuu umi 1.111mini mis put xim people in closer toucli with affairs. "Wo owe this County campaign to that one-eyed, crossed-gruined fellow, lien Tillman." Tillman and the newspapers, Tillman and the State debt, Tillman and the public schools, Tillman and his Constitutional convention, Tillman and his poll tax, Tillman and his non-hypocricy were dwelt upon very fully during Mr. Durham's speech. Tho taxes of this county are lower than last year. Ho charged former county officials with not assessing the two railroads in tho county, uv high as thoy should. He touched upon Haskolism attempting to identify it with the Con servative Democracy. HON. .r It. COOl'Elt, Conservative candidate for the House, was next introduced. Mr. Cooper's talk was earnest in behalf of poaco and unity in our County. Wo cannot stand this prejudice and ill feeling much longer, lie and his friends among the Conservatives have no ill-feeling against Tillmanites for voting for Tillman. He, himself could not do so, and by so doing up hold as true tho charges in ado O" ~ against lniu and tho people who sent him to the Legislature. Ho entered at length upon tho reasons why tho taxes to day are so much heavier than before the war. There is about one third as much property now to be taxed. Mr. Cooper was in tho House when the bonded debt was so thoroughly dismissed by tho Democrats. His clear explanation of it was sufficient to down all carolling. Mr. Cooper gftul lie had heard that it was reported that just before election Hie Conservatives would jump up a now ticket without any Tillmanites on it. His not true. Hefore God, wo meant every word we Huiil " Mr. J. M. Stalvey, a Tillmanite nominee for the House 'made a short speech. lie attacked the conservative pence and unity offer to the Tillmunite caucus. Mr. (i eo. M. Johnson, (Jonservalive candidate for the House, made a very short, talk?his maiden effort ho stated. Mr. Jeremiah Mishoe "a Tilltnav man on the Tillman ticket," as a candidate for the House, spoke on Reform. None, lie says, seems to bo badly needed in this county. Mr. Sessions and Mr. A1 ford, both Tillmanite candidates for Sheriff, made short talks. Homo new matter within the Tillman ranks was being UIOII^IIII IU Ulll U1UI1 b (JlllbU got thero. Mr. A1 ford stamped tho report that ho was bought out by the "Struightouts" as "emphatically false." Capt. .1. M. Oliver and Mr. McPvnnoP, candidates for the office of Clerk of Court, on the Conservative and Tillman tickets respectively, made short talks. Mr. Oliver stood on his ten years' record and Mr. McDermott stated that ho was the Tillman caucus nominee. f. P. Graham and I. J. Cox, Tillmanitos and candidates for .School Commissioner, followed. The only candidate for County Commissioner present was Mr. Jos. rtv i * iv - loan, imrin# his short speech he stated thftt.the Straightouts belonged to no party and wcro worse than any party. Mr. J. A. Lewis, candidate for Auditor, presented himself; followed by Mr. A. It. Waller for Coroner. Both these gentlemen are Tillman* ites. Mr. L. 1). Long stated that be was a candidate on the Tillman ticket for trersurer and would do all in his power for the same, "In votingffor my opponent, I will vote for a gentleman." Hero the meeting was about to be adjourned, but Col. C. P. Quattlebaum asked permission to answer the charge made by Mr. Todd. lie spoke about half an hour, earnestly appealing to the people not to bring up by gone ill-feeling?Ilaskeiism was dead and the Conservative movement has nothing in the world to do with it. Ours is a fair Democratic fight, within the Democratic ranks J. P. Derbam, Tillmanite chairman, answered. Ilis speech was hitter, very bitter. He attacked the personal character of John C. Shcppard, turning to his own use a letter received by Dr. K. Norton, Editor of The Hohky IIkhai.d, whioh stated >, Til U .BSD AY that Sheppard was not a lmhitual drinker nor was ho a gambler. Mr. Derham admirably succeeded in stirring up the Tillnianitcs. His appeal "Stand by me and I'll stand by you," was echoed, "we'll itaml by you.'' Among other things, Mr. Durham stated: "/ believe in t/ic Occtfa l'la(fonn\ I am an Oca It and believe in the rule of the people." All in all, Mr. Derham proved very conclusively that he was not a "I'oacc and Unity" man. rp|,? l ..ft' ._i ? i J. 11u iticujiiiij^ I'll lUHMUUIV quietly. ' The candidates on both sides wero well cheered. To-morrow they will go to Socastee. J. Ovando Norton. G. A. CROFT.
