The Campaigners were ull on band at an early hour Saturday morning and the public square had a stirring, lively air, many of the stalwart demo crat? greeting tho Senatorial aspir ants about the Hen-Delia and t he of lices of SheritV and Clerk In the Court House. The candidate*: were kept busy shaking hands, making new and renewing old acquaintance, A stand had been prepared by tho Kxecutlve Committee, but the morning being damp and indicating rain and the can didates complaining of worn-out voices, Chairman Smith concluded to hold the meeting In the Court House and at 11:80 the gates swung wide open and in a fow minutes the groat Court Hall was packed full of tho noble stal wart democrats of ,lold" Laurens. Chalrmar Smith invited Kcv. Mr. Adams to invoke tho divine blessing after which with appropriate words he introduced State Senator artd candi date Mayfleld, who was warmly greeted. Me is a tall six fooler, ap parently thirty years old, of fine phy sique and face and after graceful allu sions to Laurens plungod into bis theme, discussing the tariff and its intricacies and the Dispensary institution in this State. We have not space to give his argument, but he made u most sohslblo speech, and got a good share of applause. Whether he wins in this encounter or not bo promi ses to be heard of in South Carolina. Kx-Govornor Kvans was then Intro duced With appropriate- prelinlnary, complimentary of bis surroundings in ''grand old Laurens," be took Ott bis gloves and proceeded at once to ham mer away at his target. Hon. Curly Headed Johny MeLuurin. knocking out the feathers and making the wool lly. Of course we can't reproduce his argument on the tarilV, which was full, able and elaborate. Kvans made a most capital speech. He spoke for more than an hour and a half, all along punctured with rattling applause, the audience in oapital humor and giving admirable attention. There was some little disposition towards ugliness from an occasional McLaurln man but the speaker wa- always equal tp the Occasion iiVai haV?*J*ft -?'."*,),y'siiot got away with his customer with applause. Col. Irby. our home candidate, was thoii introduced and had a great ova tion, and that he was a favorite in the audience of six hundred was beyond dispute. Ho alluded to his home rais ing, his patriotic ancestry long Identl tied with our county, his services to his Stato, the Democracy, irrespective of faction aud nftor a satisfactory ox phi nation of the loan made him by a New York Senator, said that so much time was consumed, he would not make an argument. In a spirit of hospitality to his opponent Mr. McLaurln who was to come last, ho yielded the speaker's stand, netting a genuine full-throated round of shouts as he took his seal. Then Curly-Headed Johny was pre sented. The audience now was grow ing tired, but the stout sou of the Rast bad many frloilds in the throng and he mot a good healthy ohoortng. \ bis record bad been punctured from bead to heels by Maylield and ?vans, be was Immediately on the defensive, and rattling right away. Prom the very jump there, was in the audience a disturbing undortalk and presently it was with difficulty that the spoakor proceeded with a connected logical ar gumont. Cheers and counter cheers followed, with voices interjecting - Irby, and McLaurln, and tho speaker for several minutes had his self-poise severly taxed. Several gentlemen took the lloor to entreat order and one lion OSt eiti/.on was making a good speech when the roar from the audience went up like all the thunder and the, good humor and fun of the thing was too utterly utter, royal and grand. Pre sently all was quiet and with wood natured interrruptions MeLuurin delivered to a most attentive audience, bis foil speech as spoken throughout the campaign, tho last man .-ticking to the last. And this was the manner of it. It was an admirable meeting. Again, it was a peculiar audience, in this-?that there were few middle-agod Or old men in it?tho bulk being in the morning of manhood. It was creditable i to our bravo people that they can give and take ami stand the argumentative blade of tho other aide cutting to the bone. Salient points. I ruy alluded to re form. Voice: "It ain't worth a d.? It will be "cowardly" not to ?ive my opponents in tins county a fair hearing, irby: "1 have made friends with Kvans; I would bo a rocroant to the noblest, impulse not to be friends with ? me having kindred blood with Gonoral Mart Gary." ' I have been pounded in Greenville and Spartanburg by ingrate and unworthy men indebted to mo for election to office." MiLaurin: Men should be elected to oflll 0 upon merit and at the Instance of no man. Political bosslsm should be over in South Carolina." Irby has treated me "while" in Laurens and I will treat him "white" in Marlboro. Voice: "There aro (io whites down there." MoLau^io: "A deal whiter than you." McLaurin got hot undor tho collar (not choleric) and removed his cravat and collar. 'A Georgia Judge pulls oiT bin coat and lights a cigar when on the bench. McLaurln is of medium aizo -nay 86, of strong build, bitf head and strongly favors our fellow citizen, Matthew Crisp, of Mount ville. ?vans la lithe, light, willowy and strong, and 36, and losing his hair a lit tle after the manner of the Gary's* While Kvans spoke a voi.-e-" Amen 1" Voices: "What about Metropolitan Po lice"?the Hond Deal?"

KlMTOK AnVKKTISKK: As it has boon quite a while since 1 have written any for your most valu hle paper, 1 will try and pen a few lines, although I have no news that will interest your readers. Wo are hero a long way oil in the wild.-, of Arkansas where Q0W8 and good times are scarce. I am thankful to -ay that wo are in our usual health. At present there is not much sick no-- in our part of the country. Orops are very poor, owing to the long drouth and it still continues. It is now oight weeks since we have had a good season in tho ground. The weather is extrcmly hot. Some times the wind blows hard, but it -reins to do more harm than good. Gardons uro burnt up. If it does not rain soon there will not be but very little made. Many farmers have given liens and mortgages, and they will not make enough to live on?saying nothing about paying debts. A drouth last year and one this year lias just about upsot all who had tho misfortune to he in them. The merchants will sillier too as well as the farmers. How ail* other crop Is to he made is more than I oau tell. Here in our part of the Country the outlook is gloomy. Wa tor is getting to be an object, very near all the wells have failed, creeks and branches have about dryed up. In some of theun a fo.v holes of water can be found. It is our good fortune to be near a line spring which we ap preciate very much. There are a great many who go a considerable distance to water their stock, it realy seems that this part of the country is given to drouths and if it continues so I am of the opinion that a good many fam ilies will change their places of resi dence. As lor myself I am willing and ready to vacate our present location, and if nothing prevents us it will not bo long 'till we bid adieu to this part of the country, and cast our lot with the many dear friends that w e left in South Catalina, to me the dearest spot on this grcon earth.
