STATE CIP1B AND ARE ALL GIVEN AN ATTENTIVE HEARING. A Downpour of Rain Kept Many Away, but a very Good Attend- j ance Notwithstanding. Last Saturday, in the midst of a j pouring rain the State campaign- ! ms, spoke in the court house. I About 300 voters were present including a contingent of the fair! sex in the afternoon. In the ab-1 i xence of County Chairman Wil-j liams, W. L. Bass, Esq.. presided. The meeting began at 11 a. m i and lasted till 5:30, with an hour and a half recess for dinner. The railroad commissioners spoke first in the following order:? AVolling, Wilborn, Prince (absent) Moblev, Kinard, Jepson, Evans, Canghnian and Cansler. Evans seemed to be in the lead, with Caughman next. ''Cansler of 1 irzahv caught the crowd with Ins humor. Next came the lieutenant governors, who made clean, clear-cut speeches. Gary spoke first. Blease next and Sloan last. Blease made a popular speech, which seemed to please the crowd most, although all were well received. For attorney general Stevenson and Gunter were listened to with close heed and both applauded. Gantt, Austin and Wilson, candidates for secretary of State, were heard with attention and all seemed to have friends in the audience. N. R. II. Jennings, State treasurer, has no onnosition and a courte 4 * j 0'is letter was read explaining his absence. Superintendent of Education McMahan presented his claims for re-e.'ection, closing with applause and flowers from summer school teachers. Martin followed and noting McMakan's flowers, neatly turned the incident to his advan-' tige by repeating: "He-shall soon be sleeping yonder. "Plant sweet flowers ou bis grave." This brought down the house and I Mr. Martin's speech which followed may be said to have be^n punctuated with applause. Mr. Martin seemed to completely captivate the audience. Jones, Brooker, Walker and Sharpe, all ol whom are reaching for Comptroller General Derhatn.'^ place, came in turn and received an attentive hearing. Sharpe was especially well received andj his speech elicited vociferous applause. The line?up for adjutant and; inspector general were. Rouse, Frost and Patrick, ^Asger being! i absent and Boyd , indisposed. J Frost and Patrick were the popular candidates, although Rouse, too, came in for a share of ap]>11 ise. The gubernatorial division! spoke last, beginning with J. H.! Tillman Col. Tillman asked for' iimmniinn mm lii< record. Said ----- that Ben Tillman had been thej worst black gourde I man in the State, but he was mining on him rapidly. Challenged (1 >nza!es or anv oth.-r man to prove that he i claimed that Fr.vo or Henderson' supported him on ruling in Senate. Does not resraid Frve as highest j>triiamentary authority. A voice:' ?"Gonzales is a hail breed, isn't he?*' Tillman:? Yes, I believe ; he is, but thank G>1 the best half ts Carolinian, ll-ferred to ; newspaper slanders arid read ex-j cerpt fro in Orangeburg paper , which stated thai he was unfit for -governor 4*Why does he not say \ S % ; / j what he knows?" a?ked Tillman ,! dramatically. Taid respects to j ! "3 albert and other oponents. Col. ! Tillman had his friends and adj mirers present and received apj plause throughout his speech. W. J. Talbert next took the ! stand and made a vigorous speech. Tillman said he would not use his jokes and straightway repeated r.riM ?K:ilsus 111 11 IK). falsiiS ill ominbufi,*' quoted the speaker. Announced his platform. Did not believe in giving white taxes to negro schools. Let the negro have his own taxes, but not ours. 'That's all we want," spoke up a negro from the rear of the building. Iiad cast first vote for Col. Tillman's father, that grand old patriot, G. D, Tillman. Like him asked to be allowed to wind up his political career as Governor ot his native Slate, Tillman: 'Unfortunately the result will be the same,'' Talbert, with some heat replied. "The result is not for you to decide." (applause for Talbert.) Denounced corrupt use of money in elections. Wants to see day when any white man can aspire to State office. Tribute to common people. Favors good roads. Opposed to liquor but in favor of dispensary. Col. Talbert's speech took well and he was often interrupted with applause and closed amidst loud cheering. D. C. Hevward stepped forward and was lustily cheered. We are all agreed on issues. South Carolina is a little State but the grandest in the Union. Williamsburg is historic soil. Marion recruited lirst four companies of his brigade here and defeated Tarleton at the Lower bridge. Kefers to tobacco at Lake City. Glad to see ladies out. Comes fresh from the peo pie. Ask those among whom I live who I am. Tribute to old ? I M 1 1.1. 1? Fit 1 soldiers, favors cnuu moor uiu and biennial sessions. At the close of speech was asked the direct question: uDid you vote for Haskell?1' "1 did not, sir," was the unequivocal reply. Capt. Hey ward received more applause than any of his competi ors. He made a fine impression and seemed to appreciate it. Was presented with fliwers. M. F. Ansel I spoke under difficulties. It was raining, the audience had listened for hours and was tired, very tired. Soine reMark Twain's Cousin. G. C.
