They are likewise no longer " on the fence " - if sensitive ones will pardon this ex pression, which only means that they are now on '' The ltidge.'' This is a famous fruit and peach ridge, the fame of which has spread far beyond the borders of the State, as has the patri otic and sometimes startling record contributed to the universe in general by historic old Edgefleld. The candi dates are not seeking peaches on this peach ridge-they are earnestly seek ing that other juicy and delicious fruit for which this centre-this vineyard this orchard---is equally famous-" po litical plums." The tree this season has only about ten plums-even the fertile soil of old Edgelield can do no more. Plum seekers and plum dispensers gathered in the old court house here the scene of much 1Edgefleld history at 11 o'clock to hear discussions on fruit harvesting, with especial refer ence to securing plums. Promptly at 11 o'clock County Chairuian ainsfoi d cal!ed the meeting to ord.er, appropri ate prayer being made by the Rev. G. W. Davis. Ice wat,er and fans weic among numerons evidences of the thoughtful reception extended here. Some of Col. Talbert's friends met him at the station and made pleasant cries for their particular favorite. Lib eral cheers in the audience at the men tion of ,John C. Sheppard's name. Mention of old soldiers was always a signal for cheers. Plums were eagerly sought--some of the brethren " shin nying around" at a l.vely rate; others placing ia -patent-extension step lad der at the foot of the tree--a tree which stretched in the wrong direction -even as fast as grew the tree of Jack the Giant Killer. The court house was full when the meeting began, many of Edgetield's fa mous beauties being present. The listeners he'ad with that interest al ways shown on this subject by an Edgetield audience. It was expected by knowing ones that this Edgeflld meeting would not, except in its reflex action, be a sol emn occasion. In genuine Edgetleld spirit, long conlined and non-riven asunder, it surpassed, so the old cam paigners affirm, anything ever seen in South Carolina. 1'his was occasioned i by the mouthy and most vociferous 1 tempest war of mouths and of noise I between the rival factions of Tabert t and Tillan. For exactly 43 min utes after Col. Tiliman was introduced, t this howling and yelling was so per sistently maintained as to effectually stop even attempts at speaking. Many times when the roar of howling voices wore at the utmost extreme of frenzied shrieking it was perfectly patent that1 what was once popularly supposed to have "broke loose in Georgia'" had permanently established headquarters in Edgefield court, house, South Caro lina. The yelling began immediately at the close of Ansel's speech and for some time cheers and counter cheers for Talbert anud TLiliman prevented 1 Hleyward, who was to follow, from speaking. He did speak and when he stopped and said, "My honored friend Talbert cane to my town and spoke, so did my distinguished friend Till man, and no one yelled for Hecyward " -the cheers of the house greeted him. Col. Talbort was received with most cordial enthusiasm but the coun ter cheering for Taibert andi Tillman grew 59 turbulent and confusing that not one word could be heard before he stopped speaking. Lieut. Gov. Tillman was received with long continued cheering and ap plause. By this time, however, the rival factions were wrought to such frenzy that Chairman Rainsford, Tal.. bert andl Tillman could do absolutely nothing. No appeal had any effect. The noise grew louder at frenzied in tervals and then decreasedl when throats could no longer bear the strain; to yell again when renewed strengt,h came. For exactly 43 mInut,es Col. Tillman faced the crowd and only stopped when it became easily appar ent that the rival factions had no idea of stopping their hooting and yelling. There were a few drunken men In the crowd but not much anger was visible, the reporter's chair and table were up. set when Col. Tilliman's friends rushed up with a crown of flowers, put it on his head and,bore him in- their arms out on the square. The rivalry was so great that in a few minutes Talbert's friends came up and bore him out in similar manner. Your correspondent knows notbing of the men who made the disturbance, each sidle claims that the,other packed the house, both sides claim a victory. Your correspondent saw a mob df red, perspiring faces and wildly swinging arms; yelling taouths were wide open In frenzy; insane, distorted,.countenances were wildly sliiting! A storm of incessant, chebra, -hu'rrahs and cries for Taibert and Till man were heard with little or no-cessa tipn atid human beings presented the hiumgiliating -spectacle of crazed inebri ate-.

S REARID IN TH1E LAND ANI J FROM MAKING A SPEElC11. iven a Poor Showing and ti the Meeting. the campaign meeting at Edgolleld, ii that county bore a most conspicuout of dynamita and giant powder washed down with a tabasco cocktail, to dc justice to what transpired, but some details will be seen below. A cyclone shook the plun tree which, however, is still standing. At the very tip top of this plum tree there is a plum of dignity and honor, a revolving light house variety, being dazzling at times and totally invisible at others. This gubernatorial plt'm was more than glanced at by aspirants today. Candidate Ansel first gave a lesson on fruit harvesting and presor. vation. Dinner hour had thinned out the pupils and voters but these had assembled again. Mr. Ansel was the first speaker. After a look at the plum tree, he paid tribute to women. le was proud of South Carolina. le de livered his mesRage; told his record; stated his platform and was closely heard. He looked at the tree again, told of Brother Jrawford again, was well cheered and closed. Cheers and counter cheers for Talbert Imd Tillman now reigned, cheers for ralbort predominating, in spite of chairman Itainsford's efforts to pro :luce order. Some semblance of order was finally securet aftor continuous )ounding of the chairman's gavel. The hival factions were very noisy. Col. r'albert then got the floor and asked ,or quiet, and the continuance of the )rogramme. Capt. 11 eyward was greeted with *heers and enthusiasm; then again heers and counter cheers for Talbert tnd Tiliman with some few for Hey vard. Col. Talbert and the chairman again isked for order. Col. Talbert asking or Heyward, at this, Col. Talbert's iome, the same courtesy and attention hown Col. Talbert at Walterboro. Japt. Heyward spoke to a talkative rowd, the two rival home factions iaviug much to say to each other. ffhenever the speaker was applanded, here were cries for Talbert and Till. nan. Heyward's allusion to the con rast between this and former meet ngs was greeted with genuine Edge ield cheers. Capt. IIeyward, contin iing, held the attention of his. hearers, vinning applause, which was always net by counter cheers for Tillman and ['albert. Capt. Heyward made his speech, was heard better and better by an udience that was noisy in persistent uterruption during the greater part of lib'delivery. He defined his position inaf,y, amid close attention from much he larger portion of the audience. lome one in the audience about this iine said, " Talk forever." Capt. Heyward closing held the un livided attention of his hearers and vas loudly cheered, some cries for ['albert minglhng with cheers.. The house rang with cheers foiMal >ert when this speaker was announced, vith some for Tzllman. Quiet reigned as soon as Col. Talbert began his peech. HIe thanked the people of the ~ounty of his birth for the magnificent eception given him.

An unusual >ntburst of applause, even for this >ccasion, began again, cries for Tal eort and( Tillman mingling. It was ixplained in a few moments by the ap )earance of Lieut. Gov. Tillman, who 3ame to the front, as he was the next, speaker. Col. Talbert made his usual speeTh Lip to this ploint with more than usual vigor and was enthusiastically cheered mt various int.ervals, these ringing out loud and always mingled with some arles for Tillman. The air rang with sheers when Col. Talbert announced hits unalterable opposition to taxing white men to educate negroes. Hats were waved and cheers were redoubled. Pandemonium reignedl again, Telbert, could not be heard amid counter cheers for Talbert and Tiiman. This was the most persistently noisy dlemon stration of the meeting up to this time. Col. Talbert stopp)ed his speech amid this absolute Babel of mixed noises, lie was presentedl wit,h flow ers and retired. Air splitting E~dgeflold yells, loud andl continued, greetedl the appearanre of Col. Tillman. Again counter cheers for Tillman and Tlalbert greeted the ears with vehement r'ar. The chair man's gavel was of no avail and for a long time Col. Tillman faced the cheering, noisy crowd. The continu.. ous beAting of the chairman's gavel added to this with no qjmieting effect. At last silence reigned momentarily and Col. Tillman thanked the friends at his home .who gave him suich en t,husiastih welcome, lie spoko of -the t,he courteous -greeting given him at. the homie of., Capt.

THE STORY OF WILLIAM TELL. f;IL1 ARlt ON 'l'1I, SWISS. The Icontochi.sis Are Teal ing" Down the lcl<)1 of tie l'tao Ple. Atlanta Constiulion.1 How the old pe) to cling to the stories and traditions that, charm11edl their childhood. Good old Mother Akin came to see me and to confort. me in my sickness. She has had her share of trouble, but is always bright. and cheerful and b'inags sunshiniie with her. Somehow the story of W iltaumn Tell came up, and when I rem:arked that it was now generally set, down among the critics as at inyt.h or a pretty fable she said "she would not, read any such heartless scamlals nor dia ste be. l4eve them. The world is fult ol these iconoclasts who wvoul break up everyv idol that we have worshipetd. 'The story of William Tell is one that is lit, to be belheved and handedi down tromi generation to gene ration. Voltaire started that fable theory buecause tie did not like the Swiss. Many hooks have been written on bo0th sides, but the old family tr'aditions that haive come down to uts for I1)0 years arc stilt as much the faith of the Sn iss pecople as is their rehagion. William Tell is as much today their national hero and the founder of their republllic as WVashi ington is of ours antd the little chapel on the lake where he was dirownedl is still p)reservedt t,o commeminorate himii.' Well, whether it is a fact or a fable it is one of the prettiest stories ever told and ought to be repecatedl to the children of every household. It was in the fourteenth cent,ury when Austria had over-ridldeni andi coiijuered Swit zear land amt hiad stat,ianed her t.yanit bailiffs in every canton to subdlue anml humble the p)eop)le, that tone G esslea placed the tducal cap upon a plte in the public p)lace and orderced every one who passed t,o uncover his head anda bow to it. Tell irefused andl wias stlete and condemned to death, but,1 as het was known to be the best bowiman in Switzerland lie was offered the alterna. live of shoot,ing an apple from his soan' head. 1Te boy waa his idol and t begged for some other alternat,ive, bai Gessler refuisetd. Sixty yards wam measured off, the boy stat,ioned aug the apple p)laced. Gessler andl his cohorts looked or while Tell bowed his knees and thter let fly the arrow and pierced the appk( in its center. Tihae boy ran't,o his fathei and.leaped into his .arms, and aiiothea arrow that hadl been concealed fell up1o0 the ground. " What wits that arro. foi ?" said Gessler. "~ To Rh oot you you bruite, had I alain may son." l"oi that the was cond(emnedl to prisoni aind Gessler took him in a boat, on the lake but a violent storm came upt anti Tet was unchalned to steer thec boat, It: mnade for the shore, leapeod to a roci and. with a pole shlovedl the b)oat, bacl into the stormy .waters. lIurryii along the take he p)rocured1 a bow ant arrows from a countryman and she Gesslor as the boat passed. " Tell' Leap " and "Tell's Rtock " are stil known to every child in Switzerland Later on lhe lost, his life white saving lad fromi drowning. What, is uinreasonablle about, ti at.ory?

But I wats ruminating about Switzer .anil, that historical and wonderful eountry. Now, children and young peol le, listen. It is only a little scrap of a country about one-fourth the size of ieorgia, and nearly half of that is taken tp by lakes and mlountatinis. The iinoL beautitul lakes in the world. I.ake I.lucerne (that's Tell's); Lake (enev a (that's Calvin's); Lakes Wenner and \Vetter---andl just, think of the grand o(1d mountains---the Alps and the Jura and the .Jungfrau. Think of the hos pice of the good St. Bernard, where they kept that line breed of dogs who were trained to go out in the most fear I uit snow storms in bearch of lost, travel. e(rs and carry food and wine to them, aid bring them safely to the hospice. )>ie of luy first hooks had a picture of .wo of these noble dogs digging in the snow lot a man and feeding him al most dead. One of the dogs had at hot 1t1e strapped around his neck and the other a 1)asket of food. In another Picture at little boy was on a dog's back and his arms around his neck and the dog was barking at the door of the hospice for admission. Those pictures and the stories about" them were as dear to Ime as the story of \W lliham 'I'ell. But think of little Switzerland, with its population of three million people n(1 all at work except the babies. A bout, half are shepherds and herdsmen oII the mountaia alopca and benches, raising sheep and mulch cows, and in the year 110100 they sold over ten million dtlIlars' worth of butter and cheese. Dlown in the valleys and around the lakes are many towns antid little cities that hum like bee hives, for nimble lingers are making watches, jewelry, hair work, lace, silk and cotton fabtics as line as gossamer, and hundreds of other little things which, taken all to gether, miake the commerce of that little water covered and snow capped republic nearly double the commerce of any other country according to population. All the childret from ( to I 2 years have to go to school part of every year, and her young men have to be taught parit or iwo years in military tacties.

The town of Saluda, in the prosperous new county of that name, gave a joyful welcome to the State camlpaigners on the Vourth of .1uly, and the crowd in attendance was Imuclh the largest which has yet greeted the candidates On their rounds. All of the candidates were well re ceived and many new friends were made. The crowd might properly be termed nobody's crowd ; they were cer tainly unterrilied )emnocracy. There Was a plenty of close listening, but no enthusiastic cheering, Col. 'T'albert having most of the applause given any of the candidates. '1'le same old glorious Fourth rose here clear and cali, but soon the sun retired behind clouds, at performiance never voluntarily undertaken by the average candidate. Only live years ago the site of the present county seat was the forest primeval ; today its former woodland quiet reechoed the eloquence of the South Carolina campaigners. The place is a quiet little hamlet which seemed nearly deserted until all caudi. dates were stirring. Soon the voters were stirring and it was evideat that the woods were full of themt. 'T'hey came from every di. rection, but with unanimous consent moved towards one objactive point. This was the pine grove just on the outskirts of the town, where the meet ing was to be held. The acting county chairman, Mr. Carroll J. Rtamage, was busy all the morning arranging for the comfort, and convenience of the candi dates in which he was assisted by all the citizens of the town. The party was entertained most hospitably again, all receiving such welcome as was most pleasant. This was the birth place and home of William Barrett Travis and Bill Bowie of Alamo fame, and also of Bloody Bill Cunningham. The county is thickly populated judging from the number of substantial homes being on the road side. The people are hospitable South (.ar olnians and gave such cordiul greeting to the campaign party as made themi feel qiuite at home. Polities naturally bubbles over in this scetion. Many visitors were here from neighboring counties and towns. An old-fashioned gathering awaited the speakers. Men, women and children, and babies way up in the hundteds were under the spreading green wood tree, the ladies being almost as numerous as voters. A barbecue or so was in constant progress of preparation and (lisappear ance, tables and ice cream churns were in every direction, and the scene had the appearance (if a large picnic. The audience numbered between 1,500 and 2,000 persons and the interest was great. The;ciowd was never quiet ex ;ept just at speakera' staud, ne parti cular speaker claiming the attention of all. At half past 10 o'clock the acting chairman, Mr. C. J. lamage, in appro priate remarks, called the ueeting to order. The crowd was always moving on t,he far outer edges, but voters were banked thickly around the stand when gubernat,orial candidates were ian nouned(. Capt,. IIeywvard was [lie first speaker and1( camei forwatrd amnid ap plause and hurrabs for Hleyward. le paid lune tributes to t,his worthy child of Edgehleld and of South CarolIna and to [lie large number of ladies present. Issues were clearly (discussedl in detail as previouisly reported. Capt. Hey ward was heard with und(ividled atten tion andl at, various times " llurrah for Ileyward '" wore heard from [lie audi ence. Congressman Tal bert, came for ward amid applause and 'cheers for " Tal bert."

Col. T1albert closed with cheers and applause, some cheers for Tillman. The chairman next introduced " Lieutenant Governor Tillman,a mani whose name is a household word in t,his section." (Col. Tillman received sonmc cheers and ap)plauise, with hur rahis for T1albert. An interchange of more or less goodt naturedl chafling marked this speech. Col. Tillman too made his usual' speech with variations caused by interiuptions. Referring once to D)r. Timmerman, a voice cried: " Let old Doe, alone, g~ive it to Tal bert." Col. Tlillman -Is no advice on this subject as is i.eli known, lie charged T1albert, with dlrawmig $16 a (liy working for hinself instead of his constituents. lHe is only in Washing ton on "p)ay (lay." " Yes, lie will be in Columbia pay day," said a voice from [lie crowd. " My friend," sol emnly re plied Col. Tiillmman, " If you are dlepeniding on Col.

Never a politician never a wire-puller, never a diima gogue. Dr. Timmerman had a grati fying reception, had many encourag iug remarks from the audience, and concluded by saying "he did not go around to get up a drunken crowd io yell and whoop for me and as long is I am a man with any manhood, I sha.l not do this." The audience had thinned out con siderably when Mr. Ansel was intro duced. lie was the only candidate.for the olice of governor from the Pied iont..
