ADDRESS WILLIAMSBURG VOTERSGOOD
SPEECHES MADE AND GOOD
FEELING PREVAILED.
For more than three hours
the would be senators,congressman
onrl colioi t-nrc addressed
I the voters of Williamsburg last'
Monday. There were twelve
candidates to speak and the
time allowed was twenty min-!
utes for the Senators and tif- i
teen for the lesser lights. ;
Among the former the best of ;
feeling seemed to prevail and,as j
one candidate remarked, it was
the clash of minds differing in
their coneption of their country's
needs.
IR G Rhett was the first speaker.
His reference to the heroes
of 100 years ago and their descendants
who battled for their
country in the "War of Secession
and later on did valiant service
in the Red Skirt ranks in 76,
evoked much applause. Mr
Rhett based his claim for confidence
on his record as mayor
of Charleston. And also for
his fight against railroad discrimination
and the results of the
demands he made for better service.
He spoke of the fine prospects
Democracy has for victory
under Bryan and favored
legislation broad enough for
all the people. He said that
the present currency system
i 11 n : a. I
I was against ine oouta as n
causes $110 to be sent out for
every $100 brought in. His
speech was greeted with enthusiastic
applanse.
E D Smith was next introduced
and was received with prolonged
applause. He plunged
at once into his subject by characterizing
as folly the"line spun''
theories of tariff and currency
legislation. Our only hope was
to demand our own price for
what the world hasn't got and
must have,he said. His speech
was several times interpersed
with applause, and the closing
I remark that lie expected to witness
the killing out of the
Southern boll weevil and the
Complete extermination of the
Northern oear was heartily applauded.
I. John Gary Evans was tnen
presented and said he would
not indulge in eloquence about
[former times. He wished to insist
the heroes of the pre&ent.
[The North does not care how
high the price of cotton goes, j
A new tariff law is goiDg to be
enacted and it behooves the

South to look after it. The
system advocated by the gentleman
from Charleston,he said, :
has reduced the South to poverty
and raised the North to lux-1
ury, the South producing everything
and the North producing
nothing.
George Johnstone was the
next speaker introduced. He
said that you cannot legislate
property into a country, but
you may legislate it out. A direct
question to Mr Rhett elicited
the reply that he was in
favor of tariff for re/enue only,
but favored protection for home
products. He thought if Mr
Smith was doing so much for
the country he should remain
where he was. His speech was
well received.
Col Lumpkin was introduced
and made a fine hit by replying
to some of the jokes told on
him He spoke of our great
country and paid a high com-'
pliment to Southern womanhood.
He then spoke of his
prohibition platform and was,
heartily applauded.
0 B Martin contrasted Mr
Rhett's present attitude toward
Bryan with that of December
20, 1904. He gave his views on
drainage and immigration, and
said he thoughtLumpkin should
be in the State Legislature.
J E Elierbe was introduced
and rested his claim for support
on the record he has already
made, amrming that no man!
could do much during- the first
few years. He claims that he
has three times changed the
vote of Congress and has put
$40,000 a year into the rural
mail service.
P A Hodges favors appropriations
for the openings of water
and railwavs and exneri mental
farms. He does not think Mr
Ellerbe's plea for a long- term is
sound.
J W Ragsdale delivered a
vigorous speech,including a little
tilt with Mr Ellerbe, and
resting his claims for support
on facts that he will be brought
in at the meeting tomorrow at
Florence.
J R Coggeshall gave an elaborate
find convincing array of
figures and facts on appropriations
and the tariff, showing
that it was seriouslv in need of
~ - - - - ? - J
revision.
Mr Murchison, the other congressional
candidate wired that
he was unable to attend the
meeting on account of sickness.
P II Stoll a candidate for solictor,
was roundly applauded
on making a few remarks, and
gracefully yielded his time to
his apponent, A B Stuckey,

Mr McLauchlin, who- is^-^tlso

A telegram to the county
chairman states that Mr Grace,
a candidate for theUnittd States
Senate, will spend a week at
Glenn springs, after which he
will join the campaign party.

meeting about 350 people.

Inasmuch as no citizen of
Kingstree has for many years
offered for suffrage beyond the
bonds of "Williamsburg county
and in as much as the Kingstree
Board of Trade recognizes
that P H Stoll possesses the
qualifications necessary to fill
with efficiency th^ office of Solicitor
and believes that, if
elected, he will discharge the
duties of the office in a manner
that will do credit to himself
and justice to the State.
Be it, therefore, Resolved,
That the Kingstree board ot
Trade goes on record as endorsing
the candidacy of P H Stoll
for Solicitor of the third judicial
circuit of South Carolina.
