"BROTHER BOB" HEARD FROM AGAIN. Mr. Editor:-Your readers, you say, Want to see mo? Tell them to come up and join me in the fray against Gen. Green. I received a kind letter from Tin: Advertiser recently soliciting a ^resumption of my correspondence to her ^columns; also, stating that a number of leaders had been making inquiries as to my whereabouts, some suggesting that I bo advertised after, and that a reward be offered. Mow, I write to acknowledge my ap preciation of and gratitude to my friends who hold me in pleasant remem brance, and who take an interest in my ploasantrios and sayings, foolish and -^otherwise. But beg to say I can't come. The farmer this year who has a p^pll crop has seen sights, and the one Who has over a full crop is still seeing them. It frequently occurs that we have a two weeks' wet spell in June, but this is one of the few years, occurring only about once a decade, in which we have six weeks' rain in June. I have often spoken of such Junes to an intelligent neighbor of mine who is himself a farmer of eighty summers, and one who is observant of occurring and recurring i incidents. But he always insists that he never saw a July without two weeks' drought. So July has to wait over a few weeks in a year like this till June gets through with weather. Now, boys, let us rally wjth renewed energy and clean up things before August, since that month has to wait her turn to come in. No, I can't write. You don't know nothing! 1 have to plow. To put it in thi language of Dave Harris, whom I fcaught not long since in a grassy field \>f cotton plowing, perspiring and sweat ing: "I just have to work or perish?just one or the other." I guess he felt that way. I do. As the days grow hotter and the grass offers more anil more resistance I have taken occasion to consult with my wife over the situation. She has about de cided, after some persuasion, and a full statement of details touching the prob lem, that it is dangerous for me to prosecute my labors further, and that 1 had better rest up a little. Of course I had told her of a few cases of fever I had heard of, and that I was even ap prehensive of small pox, going on as I had been--working and fretting and foaming in this hot sun. She thinks a lot of me, and if I can manage to in timidate her in this way and got her to let me stay in a little longer during the heat of the day I shall with groat pleas ure respond to the call of my dear read ers, and thus give expression to the gratitude swelling up in my heart and seeking utterance at the point of my pen toward the boys that are flattering me by their repeated encores. Other wise you will find me down in the creek patch, the shop field, the barn piece, or over in that cotton on the other side the branch anent Wade's house (it's grassy right) struggling with the tuss ics and committing suicide by degrees. In case you do not see me out soon come and see me die. Yours for the fray, Bkotiikk Bob. July 27th, 1906. P. S.?But say 1 In dating this I am reminded that this is the day Tilhnan is to speak at Laurcns. I had forgot it. I wanted to go down and cro^s lances with the gentleman from South Caro-! Una on the dispensary question ? the | best solution, etc. I understood that the last time he spoke at Laurens he made some personal allusions to Brother ! Bob and his article then just published ? in The State. I'm loaded for the gen-' tlcman from South Carolina. m. LYON AT BENNETTSVILLE. Candidate for Attorney General Received Ovation in Marlboro County. Benncttsville, July 25. ? About 800 good citizens of Marlboro board the candidates In the Court House here to day. The feature of the meeting was ^ the great ovation given Frazer Lyon, I No Candidate .has received such a recep tion here since the days when Tillman ijan for Governor. Mr. Ragsdale spoke first. He was ap plauded when he complimented the late C. S. McCall. He twitted Marlboro fori its jug trade, and said; "If Marlboro wants prohibition, in the name of God let her have it!" (Applause.) "I know bat there was rottenness in the dis ensary before the investigation com ittee created all this stir and turmoil, knew it before Bristow and Davis ve their testimony. That's not evi nce to convict, but I know that there I s been rottenness. Do not listen to i appeal of partisan newspapers. Do "let frisinuations and unworthy mo ves influence you." (Applause.) When Mr. Lyon came forward to J '.peak he was greeted with a tremen dous round of applause. When it sub sided, he said: "We have just witnessed J the spectacle of a man declaring that] be knew of corruption in the dispensary before the committee brought it out, and yet who has never raised his voice or lent a hand to help the committee in its work." (Great applause.) Mi-. Ragsdale stood up to interrupt Mr. Lyon, and when he could be beard he said with feeling: "I don't want any i personalities in tins campaign, and I ta^n't propose to have you say any Hrtqg personal about me, sir. I did not say that 1 knew of any specific instance of corruption, but only that there was general rottenness." "Sit down!" cried a voice, and there *was a storm of applause and hurrahs for Lvon. Continuing Mr. Lyon said: "He said be knew it, and yet. he has no evidence to substantiate it Then why does he stand here and accuse? Be knows, and they all know, that the dispensary stands convicted before the bar of pub Cnion. They try to wriggle out of j laying there is no legal evidence which to convict. (Applause.) onfession of a criminal is consid ood evidence. The chairman of the board showed a hatful of money thousand dollar bills, which he said he received as graft. (Applause.) He told of threats upon himself and wit nesses, and said he intended to prosec ute graft whenever ho saw it. He con gratulated Marlboro upon never having declared for the dispensary. There was ^pfto'longcd applause when he closed. ? A Mealing Gospel. The Rev. J. C. Warren, pastor of Sharon Baptist Church, Belair, Ga., sa.ys of Electric. Bitters; "It's a God send to mankind. It cured me of lame back, stiff joints, and complete physi cal collapse. I was so weak it took me half an hour to walk a mile. Two bot l h s of Electric Bitters have made me so strong I have just walked 3 miles in 50 minutes and feed like walking 3 more. It's made a new man of me."
