Stevenson, candidate for Attorney General, made the assertion that Mr. Bateman, chief constable at Columbia, had organized his district in the interest of Mr. Gunter, Mr. Steven son's opponent, and called upon Gover nor McSweeney to say whether or not he was hands off in this campaign. In reply, the following from the Governor appeared in yesterday's News and Cou rier: Governor McSweeney says that if Mr. Bateman or any other State constable is taki=g any active partin this campaign it i lutely against his wishes and orders. The constables, of course, have a right to vote, but he wants it distinct ly-understood that they cannot take an active part in politics, because to do so - means a lect of the work which they are paidto o. If any State constable is officious or active in politics and is there by, as must necessarily foll'w, neglect ig.his work and the fact is reported to Governor McSweeney by any responsi ble citizen it will be but a short matter to end the incident by promptly remov -g the constable. ernor McSweeney declared on the - stump in his last campaign that he had -sedpositive instructions against any coastables taking part in the campaign, andthat he had issued an order that 'hey were not to attend the meetings, becanse they could not do their work there, and the same rule holds good now. Governor McSweeney says it is impos sile for him to -keep up with each and every officer of the State, but that he consider it a favor if constables -who are neglecting their work to dabble in politics are formally reported to him. - He knows nothing further about this particular case than is reported in the proceedings of the meeting.

Campaign Day In Newberry. CANDIDATES FOR STATE OFFICES HERE ON TUESDAY. An Orderly Meeting Unsatisfaetory to Candidates-Crowd Numbered About 600 -Close Attention and Little Applause-Stevenson and Gunter Wax a Little Warm. to the Advan tage of Gunter. A representative audience of about 600 persons, including a number of la dies, heard the candidates for State nffices on Tuesday. To the candidates it was an unsatisfactory meeting. The people had not decided on any man, and went out to hear the speeches, and to decide on the men best fitted for the various positions, and not to whoop up any favorite. All the speakers were heard with close attention. Among the candidates for governor, Heyward was probably the favorite of the crowd, with Tillman a close second. Both received applause, as, in fact, lid all the other candidates for this po 3ition. The meeting was orderly throughout, and there was very little display of fire works by the speakers. Several de bates among those seeking the office of railroad commissioner waxed a little warm, Mr. Prince making the charge against Mr. Wilborn that he knew of riolations of the law and had not col [ected a penny of penalty, and Mr. Wil born replying with spirit. Messrs. Stevenson and Gunter also ;ot a little heated in their arguments. Mr. Stevenson made the charge that the chief constable of the constabulary rorce in Columbia had organized his listrict for Mr. Gunter, and wanted to nform the governor that it was time ze was looking after his chief consta >le, Mr. Bateman. Mr. Gunter re zewed his charges as to the Newberry Bar incident and that Mr. Stevenson zad worked in the interest of the rail oads while Speaker of the House, and lenying the fact that the governor or my one else had instructed the constab ilary to work for his election. He had he best of argument, and the crowd as with him. At night the candidates held forth in ront of Senn's store, in West End, in ~rder to give the operatives of the mill n opportunity to hear the speeches. he crowd present numbered a couple undred voters, and it was a hard mat er to tell whom they favored. All the ~andidates for governor r4ceived ap )lause, Tillman, Heyward and Talbert ading. The speeches varied little ~rom those in the morning meeting, Lnd some of the candidates were absent. he crowd, however, was a little more eonstrative, and a fight between a eyward man and a Tillmanite got el under way. The belligerents, owever, were not residents of West nd. Following is the story of the morning eeting in detail: The exercises were opened with prayer y the Rev. Geo. A. Wright. The rowd, being a little slow in gathering, Ir. John D. Frost was asked to use his tentorian voice, which he did with ef eet, and the speaking began about .0.30 o'clock. Chairman Goggans, after bespeaking or all the candidates the earnest atten ion of the audience, introduced the :andidates for COMPTROLLER GENERAL. Mr. A. W. Jones came first. The )ffice he sought was the most important r the State government, and he de ;cribed its duties. Before he was con ected with the office in the insurance lepartment the insurance laws had not een enforced but now they were. rhe crying evil of the day is the ine ~uality in the vatuation of property for ~axation. He had traveled over the state and knew whereof he spoke, -giv Lng instances. He had just gone into the record of his endeavors to secure this equality in.. valuation when time was called. Mr. W. H. Sharp was a new hand at State campaigning, but if all the prom ises of his opponents would come to pass South Carolina would be a perfect Elysium. But when they are all re tired you will pay your taxes as you used to do', for taxation is the price of government. They talked of their inti macy with the duties of the office, but they were not so intricate that any body couldn't perform them. And by the God of nations he would enforce the law as it was given him. He had worked out his own education and went on to tell of his struggles with poverty. The only objection to his opponents was he wanted the job himself. Mr. G. L. Walker described the du ties o1 the office and gave his experi ence in the tax department. Had been treasurer of his county for eight years and three years chief clerk in the office he sought. He hoped to see the time come when property would be assessed upon a more equitable plan, and should he be elected would strive in this direc Mr. N. W. Brooker gave his record. Was thoroughly equipped for the duties of the office, with a knowledge of the tax laws, and determined to improve them. He had asked Mr. Jones a ques tion at Orange.burg which he had not answered. He found upon leaving Co lumbia that insurance license fees had not been paid into the treasury, but held over during the summer and not paid until fall. He meant no charge against insurance companies, but want ,i to call attention to it and to demanc on behalf of the people that this money be paid. Mr. Jones said Mr. Derham was bonded officer of this State and had charge of these funds, and he had noth ing to (10 with them. Mr. Brooker meant no charge: against Mr. Jones. Matters had warmed up a little, and both gentlemen were called to order by Chairman Goggans and took their seats. The candidate for TREASURER who has no opposition, came next. Mr. Jennings did not want to make a speech, but only to thank the people of New berry for their support two years ago. and especially the ladies, to whom more than any others he owed his election. Chairman Goggans then introduced those aspiring to the office of ADJUTANT AND INSPECTOR GENERAL. Mr. J. M. Patrick found himself un equally pitted against his competitors. Both were colonels and veterans. He could not discuss issues, for there were none. He favored education, good roads, low taxes. His competitors wanted the office and that was what he wanted. He had been connected for eighteen years with the Patrick Mili tary Institute, and was in charge of the military department. Col. J. C. Boyd did not have the pleasure of being born in Newberry, but thought the next best thing to do t was to marry here, and he did. so, and was satisfied. He did not have diplo- I mas from military colleges, as his com petitors had, but he had a diploma gained in the service of the State from '61 to '65. But that was not all. In the dark days of '75 he had given his best service to the State, and had con tinually done so since that time, and today commanded its First regiment. He wanted to wind up his career in the service of his State in the office to which he aspired. He did not enlist in the Spanish war because he didn't have the political pull to get a commission. He closed with applause from the crowd. Col. J. D. Frost said there were ties in Newberry County that he could never forget. His mother was born here and it was with a peculiar pleas ure that he was here asking the suf- f frage of Newberry people. He entered r the Citadel at 16, and graduated senior d captain in 1891. At the outbreak of I the Spanish war he had no political pull a but the governor sent for him and gave e him the first position as adjutant of the i First regiment. General Floyd had ap pointed him assistant adjutant and in- E spector general in 1898 over 47 competi- I tors, and he challenged comparison of 1, the militia of today with militia of the 3 past. He stood on his e record alone. 1: He received much applause. 1 A letter was read from Mr. Geo. D. e Rouse excusing himself on account of t a physical disability.s Mr. P. E. Ayer was not present. -t The ten candidates fora RAILROAD COMMISSIONER were next introduced. Mr. A. C. Jepson had had forty years experience as a practical engineer, where his salary was aL large as it would be in office, but he was getting too old to run an engine. He felt his experience had made him an expert, a and thought it best for the people that they have a practical railroad man on the Board. i Mr. H. J. Kinard claimed connection mon e side of his family or the other with nearly every family in Newberry County. He asked for support upon ~ his 28 years experience as a practical business man, in shipping and receiv ing freight, and the record of his six years in the legislature representingt Greenwood County. Would protect the people against the oppression of the great corporations if given the oppor Mr. John G. Mobley thought railroad government the most important ques tion of the times. Railroads are potent factors in the advancement of a com munity, but they can also mar its pros perity. There should be strict super vision to see they have all coming to a them, but no more. For this purpose Board of Commissioners was estab lished. There are many remedies now N :dmanded, proper accommodations, equality of freight rates, runnmng on shedule time, which he would strive to, Mr. J. C. Wilborn did not think him self a stranger here. He came t.o give an account of his stewardship and to ask for re-election. He knew the railroad laws had been violated. Mr. Prince wanted to know if he had ever collected a penny for these viola Mr. Wilborn did not know of any volations but was only asking the peo pIe for information. He was ready to quit the campaign any time to hear any complaint of violations. Mr. Prince here produced a letter written him by T. F. Wilson at Lamar, in which it was said about 30 letters of: cooplaint had been written the Com mission and claims sent in, but no re ply received. Hie demanded that Wil born read the letter, which lie did. Mr. Wilborn said the trodble with Mr. Prince was, he didn't know the difference between Railroad Commis sion and department of claims. Icidlent closed with cheers for WVil born, who then wvent on to show how since he ad been in office he had saved the people his weight in gold thirteen tinies. Mr. J. G. Wolling saidl duties of the ofe were important, because in their peformance lies your' safety of life and limb. He came with seven year's exepiience as machinist andl engineer, and called attention to regulating of rats, building dlepots, etc. The p)eople hae enough promises and were tired of them. He would enforce the laws. C,,nrude on Fourth P'age.) IAISALL. Thr.-e Gam-. on the Hore Zlianond He a wet N,wberry ta.id thi 4. G. K.
