It is simply impossible to publish

At the same time the paper holds

to be brief and not ask us to
give more than a halt column to

meeting.
(>n account of the rain, winch!
poured down hard at the hour for.,
the meeting, the crowd sought;
shelter in the coutt house. Here
lite meeting was called to order by j:
(.'ountv Chairman A. 11. Williams i
undopeneJ with prayer by He v.
W. S. Martin. The order of <
speaking was arranged by the !
candidates themselves, also the
time limit was fixed,giving all the i
candidates ten minutes except;
those for governor, who were ai- ? I
lowed 30 miuutes each. j;
Mr. 1?. II. Jennings first camel
forward. lie begun i>y saving|!
that he waj running on his own|J
merits, not the dements of iiis
opponent, who was an honorable i
man and had made a good official. |
He staked his all on record in the
confederate army, which he enter- <
ed shortly after marriage, although :
only a boy. Mr. '1 immerman had 1
held tiie of/be long enough, besides
lie was president of a bank <
and lie could not do full duty to <
both offices. I!is wife, as well as :
himself, would thank the voters
here to suport him. llad lived;
with his wife 40 years and had 7
sons, each of whom had 7 sisters.
Dr. Timmerman did not put in his
appearance till the south bound
train arrived and was allowed to
sneak out of his turn, lie made
a few pleasant remarks. lie only]
asked for one more term and it I
was customary for state treasurers)
to continue in office a lonii time.
After Mr. Jennings' speach the
rain stoppe-i. and as the court
house had become very crowded, j
tlie meeting adjourned to the)
platlorm ejected for the speakers
in front of the Coleman Iiouse.
Comptroller General J. 1*. Derliatn
spoke next. He had administered
faithfully the duties of his
office. His opponent had been
attacking the records of the auditors'
an l treasurer*' books but had j
failed to show where he (Derham)'
was responsible. Mr. Hrookerj
wauls the office not on his own |
merits, but on the demerits of his
opponent. Referred to the Sumter
county matter m which Treasurer
Reels had been reported $0000
short by Rrooker to the grand jury
and it was afterwards shown to be
incorrect.
Mr. Rrooker came next. Said
that I'? i r live years he ha 1 been,
doiny the work oi'expert account-1
nut. II'* then eharyes or
shortages in ;i?!!* :e?:L counties he
he had discovered, especially in !
Uerkeley county, where in six i
hours he p.ante I out errors!
anion!;!':; to si:,0o'!. Mr. Derham;
interrupted, denying any blame in'
t!ie matte: and characterized what ;
Hrooker said as untrue. When!
;;sj<e(i by some one. liow about;
William-bar...'** .Mr. lirooker said
; 11ai the books in this county were |
ail tiirlit. ,
Ellison Capers Jr, came next !
:sn<1 handled .Mc.Mahen without;
_t!ovos. Chirked I:im with Irvinjrl
to take the schools out of the |
for.ntv superintendents" hands ami'
run them himself. Employed j
white teaeheis for noiiro schools
am! wanted a V. S. 'la a: name I for)
a Yankee teacher to float over
Winthroj) College.
Adjutant (Jer.eral Floyd thank-!
ed Williamsburg tor what she ha 11
done lor him last election, staling;
that his largos* majority hut one'
was received in this county.
The railroad commissioner as-j
pirants were led oil by \V. 1) .May- j
lield. .Mr. .Mayfield charged that J
Charleston was driven out of the!
wholesale market by unjust rail-1
road rates.
\V. I). Evans denied this, ad-1

the Xews and Courier showed a J
substantial increase ot l?usine-si
over: he previous year.
J. II. Wharton made a pleasant!
little speech and told an Irish)
joke.
15. I*. Evans waded into W. D. j
Evans, accusing iiini of being re- '
sponsible for all sorts of di.scrim !
inations against Sotitii Carolina;
markets. \V. 1). Evans denied!
each charge in order. 15. 15. lead;
figures stating that the rate from
Kingstree to (ireeir illc was 34
cents, while to Norfolk, Va., it
was only *29 cents. W. I), denied
this, and 15 15. said that he -'toldj
in untruth and knew it." W. 1).;
walked towards him on the stand,
but controlled himself and took)
lus seat.
Mr. Merry spoke calmly and j
made no charges against his op-1
ponents.

F. IF Ga?v, a candidate for governor.
made a good speech and
clearly stated his position as in
favor of the dispensary where the
people wanted it but he did not
wish to see it forced on any county.
He had seen prohibition tried in i
Abbeville and it proved a fraud j

the Archer bill allowing local op-1
tion between dispensary and prohibition.
A. H. Patterson told sev-j
eral jokes and claimed to be.
the only simon-pure dispensary ]
candidate. Accused Gary ol' not'
favoring the dispensary in bisCharleston
speech. Jumped on
McSweeney about not enforcing!
the law against blind tigers and;
receiving the *upport of county
newspapers.
Miles 15. MeSeeney was in good j
fnmi *iml (1 rloft liim<!('lf':ii?:iiiKl !
Patterson's charges, which he said '
were foolish ami flimsy. He de-j
tended his record as governor and ;
asked lor another term.
James A. Hoyt, the prohibition :
standard bearer, admitted the superiority
ot the dispensary over
the bar rooms. Still, he claimed,
it did not settle the liquor question.
The law was not enfoiced
as it should be. He taxed (Jury
with not voting for the liobinson
local option bill. When Mr. Gary
asked him if he did not advocate
a coalition with the anfi-dispen- .<
<ary forces he admitted that he <
did, but claimed that it was for t
the purpose of doin? awav with .j
tiie dispensary to enact prohibition
