At tbe Lamar meeting oo Satnr
day, Mr. J. W. 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.

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

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

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

they make tax retarn*. He oppos

Mr. W. E. McKuight was the last
speaker to address tbe crowd. He
bad a humorous speech prepared,

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.
