Conway Last Saturday, With a Large Crowd SPOKE AS USUAL Abide From the Large Crowd, and the Frequent Questions Asked the Candidates by the Audience, There was Little Difference in Tins ana utner Meetings. The County canvass by the candidates for County offices, closed at Conway last Saturday. That ruuch interest was felt in the campaign, is proven by the fact that there were people in attendance from all ?ections of the County, and there were about twice or three times as many If) hear the speakers as attended the S.,ate cimpugn meeting earlier in t he Summer. * * 4: There wore rrcqimui * ijueatiuua put to the candidates during the speeches, but not once was the question put to any candidate as to how he stood on Jones or Blease, The speeches made by the candidates for the different offices were much the same as those delivered at other meetings during the campaign, The main interest was man-1 festtd in the speeches of L B Singleton and Hal L Buck, the ri^al can didates for the office of State Senate L. B Singleton spoke (irst, and gave an account of his record in the House. In the course of his speech he read affidavits from several to show that at a meeting last Spring in the court house, lie did not vote for a resolution favoring the construction of a new road from Conway to Myrtle Baaeh. One of these affidavits had been made by George t tlio ffnnntv Clork who was J J l"?l Dll, vi?v v, v, ^ present at the meeting in question when the above mentioned resolu tion had been voted upon. Mr Singleton charged that his opponent on the other hand had voted for the the resolution. The affidavit of Mr Marsh was so worded that it appear Co that Mr Singleton not only did not vote for the resolution, but that he had voted against it. Mr Marsh was in the crowd and listened at both speeches Mr Buck had statement signed by several prominent citizens statbig that they had been present at the court hou^e when the resolution had been voted ou and that Mr Singleton did not vote against the resolution for the new road, Mr Buck attacked Mr Marsh in his speech, not in an offensive way, but in a way that was effective and telling. At the end of Mr Buck's Speech, Mr Marsh went up on the platform, and stated that he thought he was due an opology f"orn Mr Buck. This Mr I3uck refused to do, stating tbat he would make no further opology than he had already made. In the course of 801110 remarks made by Mr Marsh to the crowd, he stated that the language of the affidavit bad been a little broad, and that he would not have signed it in exactly that language, if he had read it first. That he intended to say in the affidavit tbat Mr Singleton did not vote for the resolution, but that he also did t (The ???????? mmmrmmm wwwiii -1 m d ;ial Result of Prii For Con Solicitor Sent "77 "1 i -TS a-"*.1 I I & - = 5 s ? w w Of* 5 I w ? ? ?

This was perhaps '.he most interesting incident of the Saturday meeting. While the candidates for the Senate were sneaking. the dailv papers came in on the train showing in large headlines that Senator B R Tillman had come out in plain language against Blease and in fovor of Judge Jones. This article by request, was read to the people by the chairman of the meeting, Mr L H Burroughs, and this closed the Conway meeting. The large crowd was orderly and well behaved through out. Many j questions were asked the candidates and they were frequently interupted bv remarks of partisans in the jrowd. Every thing was taken in good nature, and the sp3aking lasted nearly all day. At the close of the speech of Mr Singleton for the Senate, a crowd niti supporters left the meeting, and carried some of the others with them. Later it seemed that all hands had gathered back at the grounds, and the crowd seemed to be larger than at first. After the meeting was over many people remained on ttie streets until a late hour, standing in groups and talking over the situation. Not least ainon^ the subjects discussed, was the effect of the letter of Senator Tillman. Eldorado Locals. Mr Owen Anderson is seriously ill with Typhoid fever. Mrs J B Chestnut died Aug. 31st.
