HUSKEY INTERVIEWED CHEROKEE’S FAMOUS CANDIDATE TALKS. Defeated on Rail-Splitting Platform, fhe Aspirant to the Legislature From this County. (J. C. McNeil in Charlotte Observer.) To take up a timely matter which has lain neglected too long- When the writer of these lines was some ‘days ago in Gaffney, the seat of Cher- oke P county. South Carolina, he was sitting one evening at a corner soda fountain with a tew local gentlemen, indulging in small talk and root beer, when his attention was arrested b'- a sort of gasp, the quick indraw ing of breath indicative of sudden /emotion, by Editor DeCamp. “Yon der he is,” said DeCamp, pointing. Standing by the stove, hands lock ed behind back, and supping up his knees was a young man in a two-piece blue serge suit, a wdde brimmed soft hat. and an unlimered manner, weath er-beaten and healthy, but without tmy ear-marks of distinction. Whispered the reporter. "The Honorable Klmsey O. Hus key,” said Mr. DeCamp. It was altogether thrilling. To en counter thus a county candidate who had made his campaign a matter of solicitude throughout the greatest na tion on earth! “The Honorable Kim- sey O. Huskey!” His name would per haps be as well known in New York city as at Gaffney, and yet he stood among the peanut hulls, roasting his calves and chewing his chiclets in perfect abstraction—one of those elect who have had greatness thrust upon them. “Introduce me,” said the reporter to Mr. DeCamp. So it came about that in a few min utes teh reporter had Mr. Huskey at a twisted-legged table, sipning soft drinks and talking affablv. “1 am older than I look.” confided Mr. Huskey. "Ah?” “Yes. I am 30.” “Well,” confessed the reporter, “you don’t look it, but your fame is quick ly grown. You have used your years well. Your defeat, like Lincoln’s by Douglas, was more brilliant than Dr. Anderson’s victory.” “It wouldn’t have been a defeat at all,” said Mr. Huskey, “if the people over the river had turned out. They didn’t turn out. I invited Dr. Anucr- son to meet me on the stump, but he wouldn’t do It,” said he. "What were the Issues between you and him?” “Th-the what?” “The issues. What did you stand for?” “Oh, I was for good roads,” said Mr. Huskey. “The doctor, then, was opposed to them.” the reporter concluded. I charmed to meet a man of his reputa- “Oh, I don’t know. I never heard him say,” said Mr. Huskey, and con tinued: “Then, I wasn’t much in for the Morgan bill.” “And how about the Brice bill?" A cloud came over the young states man’s brow. “I declare.” he admit ted. “that T ain’t as well informed on all these things as I ought to be.” “Are you a Tillmanite?” “1 like Tillman.” said Mr. Huskey, cautiously, “if hp didn’t cuss so much I don’t like so much cussin’. He does us a sight of good no there. I think.” “Wha« are your views on lynching?” “Not in favor if It.” he pronounced. “That campaign of yours with Dr. Andorson.* the reporter reminded him, “was called by The New York Sun and other papers. ‘The Rail Split ting Campaign.’ How did you come to announce your deserts on the ground of splitting rails?” “It was this way: I w£s teachin’ school, you know, and had some time to read, and I read how many raiV* Abraham Lincoln could split in a day. I had beat him man - a time, and so I thought I would announce myself that way, to show that If I could beat him on an equal start I could beat him anyhow. But that was just fun, you know. Next time I’m going to give them another race. I think It’ll dr me good and teach me lots of things to go down to Columbia.” The reporter took Mr. Huskey over to the hotel amd introduced him to Jude-' Memmlnger and Ool. George E. Johnstone, both of whom were a little. Said the colonel: “If the difference in their ages, exhorted him this,” said Mr. Huskey. “What have newspapers want to praise you. all to the good; if the, want to cuss you, let ’em: out whatever you do don’t let th*> newspapers ignore vou.” Mr. Hus- kqv had caught his hat midway of its crown and held to It. desperately. Of coarse he absented to everything that was proposed to him, reverenc ing their superior age above his own superior fame. It was a little hot and dim in the lobby, for some soot an,i webs had collected over th^ lamn globes, and this nart of the perform ance did not last long. Both the judge and the colonel begged that they be left out of the ston- but the pub lic has its rights. "I don’t know why I deserve all this,” said Mr. Huskey. “What have I done?” The reporter looked a* him admir ingly. comparing in his mind this young man’s modestv with that of Lincoln. “Haven’t you seen what The New York papers, and other papers every where, said about you?” “Some of them,” he replied with out comment. With proper respect the reporter bade the young celebrity good night and wetched his leathery form swal lowed by the darkness, where he sought to mount his good nag and amble Track to his charge at Pleasant Grove.
