Aooordirjf to the repurta In the da ly
papers I ho most exciting political
meeDiiK hold in S?iui ti Carolina f<>r
the past tv.olve o; fourteen yeura w>.s
held at lJaletburg on last Saturday.
The mectin# was o h ed 10 orctr tq i
I)r. W. 11. Timmcrmau, who ijtro
dueed a* toe first speaker IT n (J. II j
Ktird, of Lextrtfton. Mr. Ktlrd made
a tfood speech In favor of the dispen
tary. Dr. Tim merman then presented
Senator Tillman, who w<u> received
with applause.
"I made up ray mind before secak
lnNr at Marion t :ut these speeches are
useless," said the senator in opetiino
his remarks, "but it willbechlT rent
next Htmmer." 11c laid ho was here
today on tlx invitation of the mayor
and GO or 70 other citizens to discuss
the liquor question. The Invitation
also stated that McL '.urin had been
invited, lie noticed that the in vita |
tk n contained one. name which was |
underscored; it was that of John Bell
Towill, whom all present know. It
seomod to him then, said ho, that this i
W88 a cno.Uer^e to come to his norue
and say what he had said else where.
"It appeared aiso that in the invita
tion to address \oa to a man with .
whom I had bad ait unpleasantness .there
was an implied challenge that J ,
vv( u.d not. be here and would l>e ac
cused of belri? afraid to mi,et him." (
"I never Lay auy thing that I would (
not say to a man's teeth. It it; a citizen's
rJoht to ask anybody to apeak. |
1 have no reason to feel but that all
have respect and good feeling for mo,
but 1 obj ct t.o being placed on the
saino plane with a naan who has betrayed
his trust as a Democrat, a man
who In Washington is no longer ro
garded as a Democrat. 1 grew a little
small and indignant." lie said he
had obeyed orders as a public servant
and had maintained the trust imposed
in him and resented the implication
by which lie had been placed on a
level with a man who had betrayed
his trust. He had said to bio teeth
what ho thought about his (MeLxurin's)
action.
"This is a Democratic question wc
are to settle," he said with some
warmth, deolarii.g that be would not
debate the dlspeusary with Republicans.
1 am a Democrat a. d it is a ,
purl of tnv business as Latio..;?.l mj.h. I
mitteerran to k -ep the party In line
iu South Carolina. 1 refuted lis? invitation
because MeLaurln Is not my
equal. He is not my tqual ~s a Democrat,
whatever else lie may be. (applause.)
Here the Senator took up
the Gispeneary. He sa d but for the
good women the men vrould have lost 1
the seed corn of genuine rellgtou. !
Don't believe in voting out the (lispecBr.ry,
said lie, that you will get rid
of liquour.
Ho then made a Jocular reference
as to what Mr. Etird had said about (
being a straddler, declaring that he (
had never been en the fence in poll- '
tics. The only fences tie had ever i
been on were those in crossing fields
wlnn he was a boy. He Naid he would 1
rather fall oil and break his neck than 1
to stra Hil.j any proposition. The office
ol United States senator, said he, >
returns to the people when his term ^
expires and they could then do as they 1
saw tit. 1
"A man on the fence in 1892 had 1
the cogs after him on both sides," he 1
remarked. A majority of the people
had never asked for prohibition. Peo- J
pit itihi newspapers nao nca jvdou\i it. '
In 1892 40,000 people bad voted for
prohibition and 48,000 voted against ]
it or did not vote at all. He argued 1
with (Jbilds and Nettles to accept the 1
dispensary bill, which was passed. If 1
any responsibility was needed fur this 1
be would take it. 5
"Well, close it up," said a voice in 5
the audience. 5
"I don't know what part you bad
to do with it, but 1 w ta down yonder
in chaise." He said he was charged
with making the dispensary a pollti- ^
cal maorlne during his second term as 1
governor but he needed no political
machine, as he wus then going out of '
cilice. He had received a greater ma- ]
jority for governor than auy other
man except Hampton.
"Boys, we'll see'em next year; and
we'll settle this question," shouted
the Senator. He knows where his 1
dependence is?upon the plain, common
people. "Political machine! the
Democratic primary is the ouly machine
1 need," said he. He said that
only one-third of the Domocratio vote
had been polled In the live counties 1
which had voted out the dispensary. ]
Taking up the matter of petitions,
he said anybody could sign a petition, '
even a Tree "nigger," but anybody
couldn't vote. The question will be 4
settled next summer when all white 1
men will be able to vote. They have 1
tried s'x times to kill the dispensary
and had failed. 1
"One of the best men in 8outh
Carolina who has offered for office, a 1
good Confederate soldier, would have *
been elected six years ago but for the a
ill health for some time, wu vu?? j on, ?ii
fact tha* he was on the prohibition
ticket That man ww. Col. James A.
Hon."
no said the opponents of the dispensary
hid born preparing for this
light *or 12 months vhile its friends
v ere picking cotton and let it go.
"So be'p me O jd I will >-ee these fellow*

11 : exit d t he editors who t'.ave been
criticising dispensary two-by-four arid
three for a qu rter editors, lie had
said 11 the governor to rem ve the
S-ate lK>trrl because they have trainv
ed the law under foot and ignored
many poiav in the law. They don't
luy under the competitive system any
longer. J.t was not his business but
the governor's.
The bor r i says in its advertisement
that no bid for X 1 quor for
le.s than $1 60 vvi'l be rc tiv d.
Towill?"Senator Tillman, that is
fals'; j on know that is not ho."
Tillman?"You get the advertise
ment then nr.d p've It."
Towlll?"God knows vlrt \(vdi
when you went to CinolnDat'l"
Tillman?"1 didn't g'> t?> Clnc'n
natl, besides 1 hnd only $25,000 to buy
liquor for the whole State; 1 had to
buy liquor on credit hocus. 1 didn't
have u>e money to pay f<?r it."
"What about the requ at books,
Mr. Towlll? '?the repiv was lost In
tho noise which followed.
Senator Till men then said he had
'net Mr. TdwIU en the train shortly
utter his election on the I) ard and
bad congratulated him, telling ldm
ijhat If l?o would got In t.he middle of
Lho toad ho would bb all right, and
rowill said that was what he intended
to do. but that ho had played too
devil doing it..
Mr. Towil' arose and said Rome thing
which was not heard by tho cor*
respondent, tc. which Tillman replied:
"1 haven't charged >ou with stealing."
in -
,i am not nere ror any man, but,
for a great Issue whlel csncerns c-vory
IV me in South Carolina. The bars
nave been let down one bv one until
thecoma have got in and ruined the
whole business," said Tillman.
Referring to the famous labels, b'^e
Senator said tbry contained the n -.nr c:s
of the board and next. January if on
of the directors failed to be reelected
the lab T\ vould be wortble-fl.
Mr. Towill interrupted the speaker
end said: "You recall in that same
conversation we had on the train,
you asked why \vc didn't cut out those
cheap cose goods, that they wer.
hurting the dispensary?"
Tillman?"Well, why didn't you do
lty"
Towill?"You havo made stste
mente r bout those labels and I want
to explain myself. 1 stated what >< u
had said to the board and asked them
to cut cut cbeup case gcorts and no
more was bought after thai. 'Old
Grow,' 'Old Joe,' TUilly Hoys' j.u;o
such brands were discarded. Wnt-.n
those labels were bought it was estimated
that they would last about 15
PQOQttW."
Tillman?"Why did you buy $500,
000 more than tho law alio wee.? W< y
didn't you shut 'em up (mea leg
the board) because tiioy couldn't makt
you do y.uir duty."
Continuing, Tillman said that if ail
the people who drb k vote for him h )
would never want for t dice.
At tlile juncture Uev. 1). M Pad
jett, the aged minister, with long
white beard and weak of voice, lot r'upted
the speaker, asking him to 1.1
ip on the preachers, to which T'llm vn
replied, "Thou let up on me." A sharp
jolloquy followed.
Tho remainder of Tillman's speeoh
was along Hdck which have heretofore
jeen published.
At the conclusion of Senator Till
[nan's speech Mr. Elird arovc and in a
hew conciliatory remarks declared th vt
ie believed Mr. TowiU's actions had
seen straight anrl entirely honest and
requested tho audience to remain
seated and give Mr. Tov/ill a hearing,
vfter which he urged them to go home
ind prepare for the tight.
Silt. TO WILL'S KKMAKK8.
Stopping upon the platfo-m, Ip.borIng
under much excitement, Mr. TowIll
declared that he had no personal
reeling against Senator Tillman; wa.3
iorry that he had lost his head and
would not do it again. He believed
Tillman had the InteroRt of the dls
pensary and South Carolina at heart.
Ills people knew him and he was .satisfied
to abide their verdict. Tillman's
statements had brought odium upom
him ar.d the hoard. He wanted the
Investigating committee to bring the
noaid before It and make a thorough
Investigation. When the present bop.rd
went into ( lllce there was $250,000 old
stock on hand and the dispensary owed
$500,000. The board had not bought
liquor In months by reason of the
enormous purchases of the old l>oard.
Mr. Boykln and himself had thought
ierlously of resigning but Mr. Tatum
Pegged him in God's name not to do
It.
Tillman?"It would have been better
for your reputation,"
Resuming Mr. Towlll said he had
lever asked a member of the legislature
to vote for him and had not spent
i dollar to be eleoted. Members had
I Auu ww?|?v ?-r ? ^ , ?
asked him If he didn't intend to holicit
votes and he had told them no.
"With $260,000 old stock on hand we
j had to make some new purchases to 1
kcp tjp with the trade," he Raid.
Tillman?"If the old board unloaded
a hot poker <>u your bauds make
them explain it."
Mr. Towlll said he *-as ready and
the board w.vs ready to yo before the
investigating o 'inmiltee but t hey had
not been asked.
"1 hold dear my good nsme," said
Mr. Towill, "a.nd I would rather be
esteemed by Bor-ashurg people than to
h.*.v< any ortico In the gift of the people.
I have not heeri debauched neither
have 1 Ix^en bdbed. I am uot. one
dollar richer and the people of Batesburfj
know it."
I)r. Tlmme.rrnan then announced the
morning adjourned.
Ex- Senator McLaurin had bem Invltod
to speak aiso but be had delioed.
In his sp 'ici Senator Tillman bitrer
Iv assailed the newspapers. naming
The N'-ws and Courier but The S*. at>*
ir? particular, f ?r their attacks upen
him. "That hell hound in Columbia,
who Is eoltor of The State, has told
enough lies ou me to build a railroad
of cro*stios to hall," declared Tillman
)n one of his heated moments. Tillman
paid his respects to Former Sen?

The Senator stated tt'at he would be
a candidate next year for the United <
States .Senate, and lie would then dla (
I cuss .the. dispensary question from j
(every slump In the Sifcte. Ho rimo ,
stated that, he was ready and eager to j
i.o before the, dispensary investigation (
committee as a witness, lie ha! told
two of t.hnit c 'remittee personally and 5
had wrh ton the chairman of the corn- ,
mittre his willingness to appear before. y
tr,?ra In the capacity of a witness. g
At the close of Senator Tillman's c
speech the. Hon G. M. Etlrd arose and r
paid a high tribute to tho honesty, \
character and Integrity of John Hell i
Tow 111, and by that means endeavor- c
ed to pour <11 on the troubled waters. ,

In a private conversation Tillman ,
paid this was the warmest mo ting he y
had hr on In since 1802 IT - alse siid t
he believed John Hell Towlll to bo. an a

Superintendent of EUicatlan Marliu,
as secretary of the South Caro
(iua branch of the Audubon Rociety,
yesterday sent out about 4 000 leaflets
to the mtmbers of the educational
depart ment of that society. These
loaf lets are printrd by the National
Audubon koclety at its headquarters,
but m&ny of them are written and
edited by Southern writers.
Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, who was
one of t he instructors at the State
hUa:ruer school, and who is secretary
of the National Audubon society,
wrote quit-- a number of Ultra. Prof.
Pearnon has been a student of South
era birds for a great many years, and
the in for mation prepared by him, as
well as by other writers, vill certainbe
of interest to the teachers and
otudeuts. TOich Paflet coutaius a
picture of some well known bird, and
a)f>o a description of lb, giving its habits,
its food at.d its value to the farms
and gardens.
Iu the list sent out yesterday were
leaflets on the robin, the blue bird,
the meadow lark, the flicker or yellow
hammer, the sparrow hawk, the
owl and maog of the most common
Mid most useful birds. These leaflets
were sent to the teachers who joined
li e society during the state summer
ichool at Clemson coll- go. Other ,
leaflets will be prepared aud sent to <
^bem from time to time. The plan
s, for the teachers to get the chll- ]
Irou interested in the preservation i
ind study of birds. The teachers *
jay a small membership fee, which 1
lovers the postage on the bulletins, ;
tu.d these bulletins are put in the ?
