Harley, Slate ouperlnten denl of the anti-saloon league, ad dressed a mass melting of ' men at the court house Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Tho court house was com fortably filled, and those present wero fully repaid for having braved the heat. Thle address was of.a high na ture and the speaker did not deal with tho .local conditions except to expicrs his belief that thero were not enough names on the potition now be ing circulated hero, to order the elec tion, and even If it was ordered there would never bc enough votes cast to carry it. The recent .differences be tween Rev. Harley and Supervisor King were not referred to by Mr. Har ley. After a number of songs and pray er by Rev. S. W. Dunner,; pastor of the Orrvllle Methodist church. the rpeakor Was introduced hy Rev. J. W. Vines, pastor of the First" . Baptist church. Dr.- Vines made'd brief state ment relativo to thc misunderstanding betweon Rov. Harley and Supervisor King, stating thal ho was with Rev. Harley whon-he went to seo Snpcrvb sor King, and that if any one wno dlr.courteoue-to tho Supervisor, lt was he, and not Rev. Mr. Harley. . Dr. Vines, also rounded a noto of warning to tho voters of the city.- He said there was a candidato offering himself for mayor whose election would open wide the city, and defy the'.law of God and man. Ho thought lt tibie for the good" m'en of tho city to be caref?l of flic man for whom they vote, and bc urehow they stand oh these great ques tlons'bcfore'glvihg thoth their support. Mr. Harley began his address by rioting that he was'not herc fighting mon, but the business- in which some wero engaged. Although every otto ad mitted the evils of this 'business, yet there were men who"*are- afraid to come out openly and fight lt, though they, will' make conti Unif ions for tho cause . of temperatieer 'MS?roetlm?s8.", said tho speaker, "you will timi a pol itician who will cvon llb lh'connec-. tion with it." The speaker said tho company, tho liquor men koep ls enough to keep de cent folks away. Gamblers ni e in - the lot, and every houso nt "ill fame In thc State has a federal license to sel J liquor." His reference' _^to conditions in Charleston during tho race track moot there was most-interesting, and Illustrated-that tho kind of people who afb liquor men as a rule, are not de sirable,-.^ontpany." '?Youiflnd liquor hore and you will leave it hero," was tho argument' offen met,- and lt was answered- Mr.-Hartoy .-with -jai stow of the. little boy who had a calf hy, the tall.? His father called to him and told him he-could not ?lop thc calf. "Yes."' said the hoy, "I !>nnw that, hot I can . *lo*' him up. 8om?..,.' 'This" rAid Mr; Harley, "Ja what wo-aro do ing with tho liquor traffic Tho navy goes- dry- July ; 1st, and ; so .'does -West Virginia; ns evidence or flint fact." . The. speaker- charged the .liquor lat (crests with aligning themselves with the negro. He recited his work in Dorchepter county lost-year,--whore ho Ira? refused ;a chanco to see the pe Mons/ calling for ,<ne:*:*lt?*;tion!> finally got a writ wa?^am\|s' f tho \ourts am! was then furnished/ with a copy of thc petition. He'stated J that on thc St. George list of signers containing Ot) names. 48 of them were : negroes. Thc rame was true of the : other llatr. over that county, and al so in Orangehurg county^ "When negroes aroused by thc liquor inter est?, to carry an election," exclaimed tho : peaker, "lt is time to change com- ' pany." N - 1 The mill people aft? snld to carry tho balance ot power in South Carolina, and tho speakor charged that a prom inent' politician had said that If they could-he kept Ignorant, and drunk they could carry any election they pleased. Tho speaker in refuting tyis charge, pnld a verhg tribute, indeed to thc mill vote of Greenville county, which gave a majority in favor of pro hibttion when called upon recently to vote on the quortlon. Closing with a prophecy that in Ave years there would be national pro hibition, Mr. Harley recited what has been done by women volera tr, further the cause of the anti-saloou league . Ho said "If God hasn't got enough men to do the wark, He ha? ??u'ugh women to do lt." Denied Kelense on Bond. Washington/' Juno 15.-Harry K.
