Thomas & Bradham, Manning, S. C. COL. MHIS MI. SPEAKS AT KINGSTREE AND GREELEYVILLE LAST MONDAY* At Each Place He i$ Favorably Received His Chances Bright in Williamsburg County. Although but one small tract of land was sold last Monday, the crowd ?n town was bigger than has been here any first Monday since last fu'l. This was owing to the presence of Col. Joseph W. Barnwell, candidate Jor congress in the 1st district, an announcement of whose coining was made in this newspaper last week. A lew minutes after the sale had been inade the crowd repaired to the Court-house, and by the time all had gathered there, the large hull upstaiis was comlortii 1 />_! ^.11 .,..,0 j amy 11 uea. v^?n. uuiu?cu i (hen introduced by Senator Wil-' liams, the Democratic county chairman. At the outset of his speech Col. Barnwell stated tha' as his opponent, Col Klliolf, was absent he would refrain from discussing the issues of the campaign, which he hoped to do at a later day when Col. Elliott would be present. The object of his coming hero at this time was simply to meet the people of Williamsburg and let them see what kind of man asked of them the honor of being their representative in congress. He then in a verv nleasant manner referred to the desirability of Charleston's coining in touch with the interior of the State and the reciprocal benefit to be derived therefrom, incidentally touching upon the great exposition that just now is uppermost in the minds of the business men ot Charleston (of which, by the way. Col. barnwell is chairman ol the finauce committee). Throughout the whole ol Mr. Barnwell's speech he was given an attentive hearing, and when he had concluded his remarks the crowd showed its appreciation by a round ol appiause. Among those who heard Mr. Barnwell on Monday was Mr. William Elliott, Jr., who was here presumably t? represent his lathers interests. Monday evening Col. Barnwell spoke to an audience ot more man hall'a hundredjatGreeleyville int lie town hall, Here he made a strong effort, and there is no doubt that his audience was favorably impressed.
