Wattes--CadiIates Ioyally Esiter tatinsed. [ipoeial to The State.] Oamden, July 21.-The campaign passed the half mile post, today <lassic Camden, rich in historic ooiations. Here is the momlment to the Con. orate dead, in honor of the gal. 't Dickinson, lieutenant colonel 01 Palmetto regiment, who was as cious to got a place in the picture or the flashing of the guns as any Ayy her member of the fiold or staff. Hard by Hampton park, whero the 'ndidatos spoke, stands the well own monument in memory of aron DeKalb, who gave his lifo for is adopted country. INear by is the range known as obkirk hill, where Green so success lly met the British. And not more an six miles off is the field of the ttle of Camden, where Gatos met ith his inglorious defeat-Gates, bf whom it was said he never drew ' his horso until he reached (Ulhar fto for battle, in which ho ex ;Ohanged his northern laurels for southern weeping willows. ? Another feature of this place is the opportunity which the candidat., enjoyed of sojourning at Upton Oourt, so well known not only as ia winter sanitarium, but as an agreo a eable inn at all times. Though I write with a running pen, reference should be mtade to the memories which the town's come tery affords, memories connect.I with such men as Kershaw and Ken nedy,- and other knightly herons of the lgdt cause. " Ani tp crown it all, this is'a com munity known for the graces of its womanhood and the excellent cha r acteristics of its manhood, illustrated in the field and in the fornm over since revolutionary days. Memorins here of church, memories of State, memories of war! The candidates were entortained at the expense of the county exoc tive committee, and in Mr. T. J. Kirkland's hands they fared well. The meeting was a small one, there being only several hindred porsontH present, but as an evidence of the era of good fooling, I am told that there were present a score or so of those who have not attended a po litical meeting in this county for years. THES RAILRIOAD) SEXTET. Mrt. Berry spoke first. le thonghtl ho could fill t lieo 0ico of railroad commissioner as a practical business an. He did not believe in oppress !ig the roads. There wore no boys r nning for this position. They are all men wth records, which records the people should sift and vote forn the best man. As an insurance man for many years he had settled mn financial matters, andl was able te arbitrate betwoen the people and the roads. Mr. Evans yielded to no man when it came to a business transaction. The interests of the peopie nud the~ railroads were linked, andl he wa.n competent t) pass npon01 gnostioiis 0,i *disagreement. Mr. Giarris said lie never coul joke when talking politics, and( hi. face showed it. Hoe know somothlin~ about the burdens of the people and the discriminiation of the rail roads. He warned the crowdl that when candidate told them that any olliet wvas beyond the capacity of the or dinairy jurymuanr, that office shonhl be abolished, because any rancamlit committed therein conl not he caught up with. Mr. Thomas unrolled his map and declared he spoke from the rec.ords showing that he kept his oath to ac jnst ice to the people andi ihe roads Tho other members of the board ima made a trade with thie roads, saying you work tihe fertilizer rate and we will recoupI you hy at raise oni othe, articles, and he hatd protested ag- inis it. He presented himself as an ab. unolutely clean and irreroahaiha 1mia in politics. But for t.hat. he could not afford tq fight his col 1 )agnos in oflice, ats Che y had (sbarge of the minutes anad to records. The other candidates (lid not know enough about tratlic matters to operato a tinl railroad that wound ip aii I a k y. (Gon. Gray olicit.ed a laugh when ho asked what woul 1 becomo of the Stato.if Thomas should die. In s1)ite. of tho monuitmlttil self-)raiso thO im'Prossion w,as p)rovalont thronigi ont the Stato that whe there was ani isiuo Thom as lined up with t.ho rail. roads. Mr. Tholnas-I daro you to provo it. Mr. Gray replied by ra ling from the records a resolution of ored by Thomas to the offect, that tho fort.i l:zor rato b) roluced 25 per cent. and that the rail roads r0copl) t.hin Holves by raisilig time rates on mer chandiso. In this wayv T.hom as had tried to fool the people by "evening up" things with the railroads. (INIA, (lEN'IrRMAN FROM C.LKo. Mr. Stansoll, the gentiall gen tleman1 from .Ivllko, was beamning wiih smiles as ho spoke. I am no sIlvor toiguted orator, said he, or lawyor. I am fresh from the field of Barnwell county, 01o of your m11en, and I am o candidiato for railroad roninissioier. Wo have assisted you in electing your aldidatto from the upper part of the State, and our lower sect ion has never been represeited on that board mnd we art due that.
