Beasley and at ben repented :n tbe course of noaversaHoa, a remarkably “cock and boll” story about a sxudi- eate which bad been formed here for tbe purpose of baying ap 1500 weeth of whiskey, and distriboting it throughout the Coauty on the day of the primary election. This stMerarnt is, otcourse,assbsolutely faiae aa it is abp-orJ, and a citizen of Darlington who happened to be at the Lamar meeting so designat ed it in speaking to Mr. Beasley. The latter promptly gave as bis au ibonty lor it Mr. W. H. Lawrence, a prominent citixeii of the Coauty, and a candidate for Auditor at t he approaching election. E er since tbe silly story reached oar ears, we have been endeavoring to commani- cate with Mr. Lawrence, in c rder that it might be traced back through him to its very source. In this purpose we have failed, how ever, ae Mr. Lawrence has not been in this neighborhood, and we have bees enable to ascertain his wbere- abouts. Our readers can rent aa. sored of tbe fact, however, that the most diligent enquiry oo our part hsa failed to reveal the aUgkteot shadow of truth upon which to baas this gross charge.

Editor of The Darlimgton Aetc* : If (here is ooe thing tbst should determine the popular choice iu ic- spect to candidates for office, it is tbeit previous record. That in fact is the only ground upon which the voter can base an intelligent judg ment. While we have nothing to say in regard to the many good men put forward to our county, there is cne towards whom we feel constrained to point with especia< satisfaction and pride. We refer to that gallant aoldier and patrio tic citizen, Mr. H. E. 0. Fountain. We count it a privilege to place before ti e public the unstained, faithful past career of that gentle man Born upon tbe soil we love, he waa among the very fore most to respond to tbe call to arms in 1861, arriving at Charleston, 8. C, on January 4th, of that year, ready to fight tbe battles of bis aoaatry. Nor was this active and prompt enthusiasm for tbe cause in which oar land was enlisted, of ephemeral birth, to die with the first smell ol powder, or shell. No. All through thst unparalleled con flict, through four >earsof unex ampled hardships and perils, he continued true and steadfast by his coaotiy’s flag, wounded many times, and finally losing his leg at the hotly contented battle of Fort Harrison iu 1M4 The eolminating misfortune in his life, aa ever re current reminder ofthoeedark days to which the rising geaeratiou should doff the hat in profoundest respect, is yet the grandest monu ment to his anfiinching service io tbe war. Mr. Foantain did not re- tarn home until Jaly, 1865, and like thousands of others rctorned to roioed fortunes. Nothing daunt ed, however, he coped with circuin stances, and iu such measure as his unfortunate condition allowed, struggled to better hie condition. Daring the da vs of 1876, he was among tbefiret to join in the move ment for reform, and exerted him eelt notably iu the momentous is sues of that time. Yet Mr. Foun tain has never a»krd the people of his county for auy official place or station. Though so ••niineotiy de serving consideration, he has mod estly sod quietly attended to bia private affairs nun! in 1885 tbe pressure of his many irieods indue ed him to accept tbe office of Audi tor. It is pleasant to know tbit io the discharge of tbe public duth-s thus imposed upon him be has evinced tbe same spirit of straight forward and conscieotoa* pet form- snee as has marked all m* prior history as a citizen and aoldier. We deem it only justice that the public should be put in mind of these points, and when the d*y of voting arrives they may weigh well tbe high prerogative of their bal lots and do themselves credit in the names that shall appear thereon. “Cld Sold ibe.” Tbe Lamar Meeting- (Re|<ortei for tht New*.) The meeting for tbe candidates at Lamar on Satorday last was the largest attendance there has yet been during the ronvave, and quite an interest seemed manifested in the discussions, (fongtesaman Dar gau first s|K>ke. lie explained tbe objectionable lentures of the Blair bill, and exp'aiiied his |M>sitiou upon tbe bill to make tbe Commissioner of Agricnltnie a cabinet officer, his speech being in s .batanue, the same as tlx- «ti<- de'iveied at DovesvMIe and ubiu 1 b»* already beefi repott ed 111 detail. Mr- Keith 1 w followed. He went over tbexame ground a« h tetofo. •• hi regard to the agricultural college, Olnusoii bequest, coauty.”) Mr. Kershaw had said that tbe opposition to tbe new iouuty was mere seatimeut. There was something more than pentitoeat io an effort to prevent this county from being made smaller. Mr. Ker shaw bail ask«d that he be sen* to repre-ent os in the Legislature, when be would sdvocate ■ matter detrimental to tbe interests of tbe county. The new county petition can be presented without tae pres euce of any Repn-sentaMve fiom this county. We don’t want Mr. Kershaw to assist in making anew county. At this stage there was conriderahle eparring between Mr. Nettles and Mr. Kershaw ou sc count of a statement of Mr. Nettles in his speech that be bad heard that at Florence, there had been a combination madetoelect all Rep resentatives iu the interest of a new county, Mr. Kershaw denying tba’ such a scheme had been arranged. Mr. G. W. Pettigrew was next called o|K)n to address tbe “dear people.” He said again that be was an anti new county cimlidste. He favored a constitutional conven tion and said that there were too many* offices. There are more pro pie “iu the shade” now than there we:e before tbe war. We can get along with fewer offices. CapL E. W. Cannon then had bis aay. He was nothing bat a farm er, nor did he expect that he woald ever be anything else. He gut out of politics i»ecaase they were not his forte. He was nqw out as a candidate at his friends solicits tion. In this esnvsas he did aot want to make auy enemi-s, even if he eonld not make friends. He was accused of being unfriendly 10 the farmers, because be did not fa vor the “farmers’ movement.” He opposed that “movemeoi” simply because be could not follow the men that were the leaders ol iL In Radical times all that he eould do was to goaroaitdia a canoe aa asu pervisorot elections; bat now we had “got buck into tbe ship.” The coustitarional convention question was agitated when the s|ieaker was in the Legislature; it is a danger experiment to have it, and will cer tainly take sway some of the liber ties of tjie ; eople. Mr. J. C. Clements then made his bow before tbe as-embly. He had seen the good effects of the agricultural college in Mississippi himself. He came before tbe au dience, be said, simply to announce his candidacy for Legislative boo ors. Dr. J. O, By rd then took tbe “po litical deck * He said that be was not sboved out like moat of bis friends, but came out himself. He wouii stand by bis previous record ou the new county question. Who ever opposed the “farmers’ move mem” cannot say that its leaders tried demagogism iu order to m ike a success ol it. Two years ago the the aocalled ‘farmer movement.” captured the convention at Dar lingfon, L. H., and has h- Id il ever since. (Beosstiou in audience ) The enemies of the “formers’ move ment” now favored the Primary system bee<use tk y cannot hep thems-lves. The p-op’e in the movement are not ashamed of it (Voice iu audience: “N*».”) it fo not dead yet. Thr Doctor hrix quoted a pas-age fiou> an 1dd01i.1l in The Darlington Nkws about the socaded “tanners’ movement.” He said the enemies of the “iijow- ureut”did not now oppose the Far mers’ At ianct* because there was no pol io in tint nor would they do so till tbcie was. He did not want the agricu'tur 1 college to have au examination so rigid that the poor former’s boy»uld not pass. The Giifiui IJhiversity f< T colored people n is in 11 aged ho cheaply th <t u (Colored t*o> could i>e educated for $3- 00; wiry in our college could we not do things us cheaply f He then discussid the best method of obtaining he agri cultural college. In speaking of tbe coustitutiou.d couvi utiou ho naid, that there ar. already several constitutional questions to be vot ed on next November, and vny tew people now know what they are. I'm certain your votes ca t will be for men of pronouumd original with him.) Mr Went ou to say that tbe qualifica tions tor office hoi.ling should be thst a man was bourse and had ol ways b ea loyal to the Democratic party. The presumption that a mao should hold offi * always aim plyr bees ass he waa “io” had a ten deocy to evil. Mr. J. W. Beasley was ibeo called opoa to “speechify” He said be wanted to be excused from speaking, Os'he was so near home. He did aotagree with Mr. Tillman in sli life views and measures, yet wbeo the Tillman movement start ed, it was thought it would array class against class. He spoke of the wisdom and boldness of Till man in fighting the agricultmal question. The onslaught on tbe “farmers’ movement” only gave it greater cohesion. When tbe agri cultural college is obtained there ill be no further need for tbe “tar- mere’ movement.” The “farmers’ movement” was tbe means of giv ing os the Primary sy stem. (Loud applause and cheers.) Mr. Trailer no v bad a tarn st tbe wheel. He said that he had been in charge of county funds four years and new was entitled to some ol the gravy. Darlington stands fir.-t in the State in regard to finan ces ; the tax levy for this year was lower than th it of any coumy in tbe State except Charleston. Mr. Trailer bad a good deal ol sparring wi.h Mr. Fountain iu regard to “nulla bona” tax executions, each trying to throw tbe other ou this qaestion, bat each time it ended iu “dog foils,” and they finally agreed to jointly shin der tbe responsibil ity. In answer to a question Mr Trailer said he refused to sign a |>e(iliou against the new county movement, last year; that in 1885 he took the responsibility of having Darlington Coauty excepted from the extension <>t time fur paying taxes. He took the ground that the coauty did u it require an ex tension of time; that, at tkat time, there werq only 3U0 delinquents, those mestty poll taxes due by ue groea. He had toand oat that bis action iu this matter waa unpopa- *«• - S '. Fountain said he was not a hlate for Treasurer by his owa choree; be wa*thrust out by his friends. He tnentiomd townships that hod brought pressure to bear upon him to run. Concerning th© executions be said that s good deal had been said about that matter, but be wanted them to. *‘hu?h up about it.’ 1 ’ Mr. D.M Smoo*, a candidate for County Treasurer, uow put ou his best how to the audience, which was beginning to giow tired ol so much “trumpet blowing,” Mr. Smoot said be did not doubt tbe competency of his op|>oueut, the present incumbent, but ih.mght that be himself was even a little more oooipeteoL He liked the honor of tbe office for which he was a candidate but wan’ed it more for the money. He said Darlington was 100 years behind in tbe man ner of working | ublic highways; be favored a capitation tax for this purpose as well ae a property tax. Mr. Smoot’s re|iart*-e and pleasan try took with ths cr wd like “hot cakes,” and he “worked the humor one racket” for all it was worth, to help his side t f tbe case. CapL Bass n -xt ap|»eared and said that there was a rumor afloat to the effect that he had retired fiom the contest for Treasurer; he merely came here to say It was not so. He had beeu brought out by hi* friends, and if be was withdrawn his fiieucs woo'd have tu do it At this stage of the proceedings the rowd-lhat had very patiently listened to ail the political talk, be gan to show iKTceptible signs of impatience. As a general rule au asmmblaoe is ctpabie of receiving political fifotroctiou io broken dos es only, and bare to go out now and then (o digest it; anyhow, it was a restless crowd, and tbe ball began to present the appearance ol a checker board when a game is marly ended; there are a tew men here and there, but the gaps are many. Mr. R B. Hepburn, a can didate for Auditor, stepped to the front and faoed the aodieuce which now bad the ap|>rainuce of “Pa tience on a ormiiuient smiling st Grief.” He said he merely wanted to show the crowd wh*t sort ot looking animal a candidate was. (Voice iu crowd : “You ought to have said soother word or two”) ‘ T- Lawrence then had a hand at turning tbe crauk. He said he was a spring cbickeu io the race. He then cotumeuetd his f>(*eech with a kind of moral essay concern iug how difficult it is for the rich man to enter tbe Kingdom of Hea ven if we are to judge by the way they make tax retarn*.

He bad a humorous speech prepared, nod was getting off some aiee witti- cit ns but the and ence at this stage had no liking even for racy humor, and bad about »djourued itself without troubling tbe chairman to go through with that formality. It would be difficult to judge the popularity • f each candidate by the applaase received, or whether, at times, it wa* bona fide or iron! cal. There was one p rson in the audience who was a kind of “gud of tbe gallery,” for a« promptly os a candidate had had his say, as me chanically as if moved by a lever, his right foot womd give a succes sion of quick lists opoi the floor. It was at this point always thst a little swell of applause would arise and thence spread in waves all over tbe house. A mountebank seems as necessary to a public gathering as a clown doea to a circus. There waa one at this gathering. He fired all sorts of questions at the speak ers, without regard to appropriate ness or fitness; and so worded gen erally as to raise a laugh ; and he punetaa'ed the i»ddres‘e8 ©f tbe speakers all along with bis vies voce comments. His favorite meth od ot applauding was to rsise his knee* to bis chin, clasp his legs with his hands and then hammer on the seat ot the bench with his hobnails. The next meeting of tbe canvass will be held at Garursville to day. TheTiinmonsvilleimw-ti jg will come off to morrow, aud the campaign will end with the grand rally at Darlington on Monday, Augnst 20th, tbe day pn-ceedmg the Pri mary election. U. P. D.
