Mr. Scarborough made a ringing speech and closed with a llowerv peroration, lie was given liberal applause. KNOX UV!XUS!ON. the "Little Giant of the I'ee Dee." caught the crowd with a joke. Said kg would not discuss the issues of the campaign in the absence of his opponents. Had come there to enjoy the day ami partake of the well-: known hospitality of the people of Williamsburg. jb* would not pluck , ;i jewel from the crown of our famous generals, but believed that the grandest j>icture in history was the Confederate private soldier, it was; in the .South that the keynote of the declaration of Independence had! been sounded. Even in old Williams-j btirg the Swamp Eox had achieved j deeds that lived in history; hence it! is befitting that we should celebrate; the 4th of July. Col. Livingston hadmuuy friends in the audience and gained others, as was shown by the; applause he received. Then came the dinner tune, ioj attempt to describe this would be ai vain effort. A great rectangular t:t-! ble appeared with everything to: tempt the appetite, served in! the most b o u 111 e o u s s t v le.! To the committee too much praise cannot be given for their tire-: less efforts to entertain the vast J crowd present. Thy crowd numbered! from 1,000 to 1,500, and everybody got a good dinner.
