AU the Candidates far Gevcrner aad the Other State Offlcea with Paw Exceptions Attend and Address the People. Senator Tillman Absent. ? v* The State campaign |for 1906 was formally opened at St. Georges on Tuesday of last week. The meeting was called to order at 11.20 by County Chairman E. J. Dennis and was opened with prayer by the Stav. Mr. Steadman. Chairman Dennis then outlined the purposes of the -gathering. The people of Dorchester County were gathered, he said, to see itheee candidates, who had offered themselves for office, and, seeing them and hearing them, to pass upon their fitness for offloe. He referred eloquently to those who had made Soutn-Carollna great in history and emphasized the necessity for those to whom the foallot had been entrusted to keep well their trust. The Hon. MA11TIW T, AMSKL, of Greenville, candidate for Governor, was the first speaker Introduced. Mr. Ansel was greeted with applause. First of all he desired to thank the ladies iur nieir presence. it argues well for the campaign of 11)06 that bhey should graoe thin occasion with their prrsenoe He himself Is not running on his good looks, however, for In that event he feels sure some of the others would be eleoked over him. lie wasn't elected four years ago, but he came so close to It that he felt it his duty to again present himself to the people for their suffrages. He Is proud that he represents the PiedmoDt and he Is proud of the magnlfloent vote he reoelved in his old judloial circuit, where he Is best known. He has the endorsement of his oounty. It is only upon high grounds that he desires election. He stands for the great prlnolpleof higheducation and he stands unqualifiedly for the great work of tne public schools. In the youth of the country is the hope of the country. There he urged strongly the importance of the oommon sohuols. Hood readsjis another plank in his platform. This is a matter of greatest Interest. We "don't want sucu roads that we shall have 'Our religion jolted out of us before we :g*t to ohuroh." He favors seeking and accepting all from the National Govftrnmp.nf. fnr hhla mimn?o na <a nn. ? - ? |/V'UU | JLAU la V/JP" posed to the State dispensary and be Is In favor of looal oounty option as between a county dispensary and prohibition. If the county offioers are able to take charge of the county's affairs in other matters why are they not able to take care of the county's liquor selling, he asked. He is opposed to one county dictating to another as to what it shall have. Let thr Governor appoint the board to take charge of the selling of -liquor and let the -Goveruor be responsible for them. Pay them a salary. Ho doesn't believe in commissions. Let them report to eaoh term of the Circuit Court. Pen sion the old Confederate soldier and Jet him go to his grave in peoce. The Hon. O. L. BLKA.BK, it > ro[ of Newberry, was then Introduced to the audience. He Is a candidate for Governor. He has represented Newberry Oounty in the Legislature several times, and is to day the county's State Senator. He oan prove by the records that throughout his whole career he has been consistent In the positions he has taken. He favors biennial sessions of the Legislature, laws restricting the hours of labor, and liberal aopropriatlons for educational purposes, but is opposed to the higher education of the negro. This last statement evoked applause. He favors a marriage iloense system, and the eoonomical enforcement of the Government. He believes the dlspenaary sys tern is the best solution of the whiskey question and he favors the repeal of the Brloe law. Recurring to the ne gru (juration, utw never insenaea tnat the negro should be anything else than the servant of the white man. If he had his way he would wipe out the negro oollege at Orangeburg. If you have corruption In the State dispenaary, what would you have If there were 41 county boards? He does not favor the Raysor-Manning bill. One of his reasons for this is beoause one of the amendments provides that whenever the board thinks the dispensary is a nuslance they have the right to oloee it up. That is net governed by the people. They say the dispensary is oorrupt. All right. Why is it oorrupt? It is beoause men originally opposed to the dispensary la# have of reoent years be*n placed in charge of the system. But there is no corruption In the dispensary. Mr. W. G 11 Child! told him yesterday that since the dispensary was voted out In oertaln oountles the Jug trafflo on bis railroad had more than doubled. Prohlbltlon has failed In Newberry. He Is ready, willing and watting to defend any attaok made on the dispensary system. He, too, favors good roads and good sohools. Everybody does. But the money of the people le being squandered now. Two more Judlolal olreuita have been provided, but still they olamor for extra Courts. He helped to defeat the appropriation for the payment of the expenses of these extra Courts. If eleoted he will endeavor to reduoe extra Oourts. He favors a liberal appropriation for Bx-Confed erate soldiers, and he wants to see It go to those to whom it belongs and not to those who do not need It. MR. J. U. BBUNSOW. of Sumter, eanildate for Governor, was the next speaker. He plunged at onoe into a discussion of the liquor question. This Is the leading Issue before the people, because In Involves < more In dollars and oents, and carries along with It the moril and lntelleou- j al welfare of the people. It has been , contended that the public sohools is i the proper plaoe to whloh to apply t this "blood money," because In that i wav the youth of the land will be edu ( oated against drinking. This is a fall- < acy, because the liquor habit is just \ as apt to strike your brightest boy as , your dullest fool. This money is not ] going to the sohools, anyway. Out of \ $4 expended by the drunkard for a ) jug of liquor all the protits, except two cents, go to other sources and other \ people than the dru vrurnfg family. \ That is all the salve* "his wife and ] children get to heal their heartaches. | He gave the drunkard's prayer and , the prayer of the so-called good clti- < zen, who takes this liquor money for his children's eduoation. They talk , about putting good men in charge of , t.hfi ri 1 ?n*riasro V, na.,H ..? ? - a uu u kcu a wau ( who is & decent man who will take < charge of this dirty slop. This Is the , truth. If you doubt it ask any one of , these good men who are running on ] this platform to go in and dish out ( the dirty stuff. Not one of them will ? do It The system cannot be oleanBed. \ Had you crucible as big as the moon In which to boll it, were you to heat | that oruclble with all the coal stored \ In the bowels of the earth, were you j to give to each of these candidates, , who talk about purging It, a dipper \ with which one might empty Lake Michigan at a scoop, and .to eaoh of , the others a spoon, which would reaoh \ from pole to oole, with which to stir , it, and then let them stir, while the others dipped, this process might go , on for oenturlee, and at the end the | resldum of purified matter would not amouut to a thimbleful. Mr. Brun j son referred to no other issue, but de- < voted his whole time to rasping those | who favored the sale of liquor in any manner, and urging the people to \ rally to its overthrow. , UU. W. A. JEDWAltDS, 1 of Saluda, filed his pledge as a candidate for Governor, but, judging from ( his speech to-day he has entered himself Id the wrong olass. His entire ' time was devoted to an attack upon j the Southern Railway, whloh would have done oredlt to the most ardent aspirant for the office of railroad commissioner. Mr. Edwards declared that for six years he has been conducting a fight in the Courts against the oon- ! solldatlon of .the South Carolina, and Georgia extension with the Southern ' Railway. He finds, so he said, that this corporation is practically in control of our Government and that there is apparently no way of escape from its abuses. He declared that it dis criminated against the people of this State, causing their property to de crease in value, and (incidentally the property of landowners in Georgia to lnorease in value. He then begantore&d from a paper whlc* he carried a history of his case already refured to, but his twenty minutes were up before he i was more than fairly started, and it never became apparent just what he was driving at. He was granted an extension of time in whioh to explain briefly what he was after, but just a? he opened his mouth to speak the band began to plav and there the matter ended, for to-day at least. Then came MB. A. C. JOME8. of Newberry, who is also an aspirant for Gubernatlon&l honors. He is here as the representative of the homes, of i the mothers, of the sons, of the children, who stand for pure demooraoy and who oppose corruption and graft. All his life he has stood for that wnioh WAS mirlf?1n(Z inH nnliffetnv ?/! If r ,#.Mn ?^v nuu ug AO willing to Abide by his reoord. Ht Is ad enthuslAatio supporter of higher eduoAtion, but it is to the denominAtional colleges thAt the State owes most. He believes in An eoonomioAl and honest Admiaistretlon of the Government. Ht favors a bOArd of arbitrAtion in South Carolina to settle All differences between oApltAl And lAbor. But the prinolpAl thing whioh has brought him into this CAmpelgn is the liquor question.

He also urg | ed the passage of a law which would allow the voting out of the dispenser- I lee in counties desiring to take such : action. That suggestion was largely instrumental in the passage of the Brioe law. Now he is ready to go further. Personally, he opposes the sale of liquor in any way, but he Is willing to allow the people of eaoh oounty to vote on the question as to wnether they shall have a oounty dispensary, high license or prohibition. The State dispensary must go. Conditions in Newberry to-day are better than In twenty years. If the prohibition law (Continued on Feerth Page.) 1 a POISONJflCTIM.

Knowing that his life was to pay forfeit In a few hours for his fatr.l mistake in taking poison from a bottle in the medicine chest Instead of the harmless drinr that. h? mnnhf n* ? ?v ?u the dark, Richard Tilghman, a society man, olubinan, member of the Jlty Troop, a descendant of one of the original Maryland families and closely related to the Whelans and Lipplncot ts, made every arrangement khat prudence or sentiment dictated oefore he died. He first had hope that his life could t>e saved and waking up his wife In their apartments at the fashionable Lincoln, No. 1220 Locust street, and tils daughter, fifteen yearB old, and on thirteen years old and told them what had happened. Mrs. Tilghman, who was Gabrlella ie Potstad, daughter of the beautiful marciouess de Potstad-Fornarl, at me time lady-ln-waltlng to Isabella, i^ueen of Spain, and the child? en did verything possible to aid husband ind father In the efforts to save his life, but when they found that they ild not make favorable progress, Mr. Tilghman directed them to telephone for a doctor. The physlolans fought hard to offiet the effects of the poison, but had do admit that they had exhausted Dheir remedies and that Mr. Tllghnan would have to be prepared for khe worst. lie took their verdict philosaplcally ind directed that a telephone message oe sent to his brother In Bryn-Mawr, lummoning him to the Lincoln. ''Tell him to take an automobile, 10 that he will get here In time," said khe dying man. "Send for the priest, and when It is all over take mv bodv to thA hnn?> jf my brother, so that I may be burled from there.'' Mr. Tilghman expressed his regret bo his wife and children that he thould have made suoh a fatal mistake, when they were going to sail from New York the next day for an extended tour of the Continent. Then, after he had told them of tome arrangements that must be made, he had a telephone brought to bis bedside, and oalled up many of bis friends in the oity, to bid them Carewell The priest came and heard the confdsslon of the dying man, and administered the last rites of the Church. Tilghman then asked his wife and ohiidran to draw near the bed, and while the physicians, one of them a friend from boyhood, withdrew to a corner of the room, he made his touching farewell to the little group that he lovod above all. He told them not to worry, as it was a fate from which there could be no escape, and then he sank back In his bed, still racked with the pain whloh he had eudured with suoh wonderful fortitude, and in a few minutes was dead. Mr. Tllghman had spent the evening at a reunion and banquet of the class of '8ft, University of Pennsylvania given at the.Uolverslly Club. He had been In the habit of taking tab itiui wuen troubled with slight attack of rheumatism, and when he returned to his apartments shortly after 2 o'clock, darkened his room and retired, before he remembered that he should have taken a tablet. "Afte^ extinguishing the light," said Mrs. Ttlghman, he desired to take the hthla tablets, as be has bean suffering lately from musoular rheumatism. Two bottle* of the same site and shape were side by side, one oontalning antlseptlo blohlorlde of mercury tablets and the other citrate of Utbla, and In the dark he chose the wrong bottle. "He placed two of the tablets in a tumble of water, stirred them until they dissolved, then he took three or four swallows before he noticed the error. By quiokly drinking some tepid water, he produced nauseea and thought that he brought up the entire contents of his stomach. Very soon, however, he was seized with cramps. Then he oalled me and explained the mistake he bad made. "Dr. W J. Roe, of No. 1210 Looust street, was Immediately summoned, but the antidotes administered and the washing out of the stomaoh failed to save his life, and he died a few minutes before eight In the morning. N For six hours the physicians fought for Tllghman's life. After Dr. Roe had worked over the clubman for a wutie, thoy decided to send for Dr. Robert C. LeOonte, who had been a lifelong friend of the clubman. Then they all went to work together. The dying mtn suggested a number of antidotes, all of whleh were tried without giving him any relief. The bookings for the European tour were oanoelled by Lieut. Ool. I Dighman, a brother of the deosased, la lb evening, and arrangements were mad*, In aooordanoe with Mr. Tllghman's request, to taka the body to the brother's houae, where the funeral took place. Mr. Tllghman wee born In Philadelphia at the resldano* of hie parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Tllgbman, No. 321 South Eleventh street, forty-one years ago. He was educated In Philadelphia, and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania In the olass of *86. He was a member of the Delta Phi Fraternity and one of the moettpopular members of the First Oity Troop. He entered his father's ehemloal laboratory lm- , mediately after his graduation from oollege* ( Just eighteen years last month he married Miss Gabrlella Do Pots tad, daughter of the Marshloness DePote tad-Fornarl, who was Miss Ohapmau, daughter of Mr. John Chapman, and granddaughter of the celebrated ] Dr. Nathaniel Chapman, of Philadelphia. SUITOR TILLMAN'S PLANS. He Will Fill His Previous Lecture Kngageiuonts. Senator Tillman will make no 1 change in the plana already announo- i *d by him for the present Bummer on ( aooount of having opposition for re nomination to the senate. The fact i< that W. W. Lumpkin has announced ^ himself a oandldato to succeed Sena- t tor Tillman as senior senator from ^ South Carolina will cause no lmmedl* k ate change. As was announced sometime ago Senator Tillman will attend the po litioal rally in Greenville ciuaty on July 7th. That will be Immediately after his return from Patterson Springs, 111., where he is scheduled to 9peak on July 4th. It Is probable that he would cancel the Illinois engagement and enter at once into the South Carolina campaign?that Is upon the adj jurnment of congress? but for the fact that he made a contract sometime ago with the Illinois people to appear before them oc #the . day named. After the Greenville county meeting, Senator Tillman will be aotlvely with the South Carolina campaigners for a month or until the end of the * first week In August. After that ' date he will bo out of the state nearly all the summer and fall lecturing in different parts of the United States, l During the month that he Is with I the campaigners he will make every I opportunity count. II) has wanted an opportunity to discuss Issues both state and national for a long time, and was beginning to think that he would not have his wish granted this year, when the announcement of Mr. Lumnkin'a m-- u . iwwuuu TT Jfcttli" ington. Then is genuine regret on the part of Senator Tillman that he was unable to attend Thursday's campaign meeting at Charleston. There are many things that he hoped to have the opportunity of telling the Charleston voters at that meeting, and it is a sore disappointment to him that his duties here are such that he was uable to leave Washington.
