WHEN LIE WAS PASSED
HODGES BIFFED ELLERBE
STRAINED RELATIONS RET WE EN
OPPOSING CANDIDATES CULMINATED
IN EXCITING CLIMAX.
Lake City. August 20:?Two of the
candidates for Congress. Hodges and
Ellerbe.engsged in a fist fight at the
meeting held here today and several
blows passed before the combatants
were separated. Ellerbe use.l the J
word liar, and Mr Hodges resented
it by landing a stiff blow on the face.
Ellerbe was game and they went at
it nip and tuck until separated by ;
* bystanders.

from his pocket a slip of paper and
reading therefrom the following:
"Whoever says that I was the author
of or wrote or dictated or had print-1
ed the circular against Mr Hodges
referred to h\ his speech is an infamous
liar."
As he commenced to read Hodges |
came out from the crowd and stood j
afhis left side, paying close attea-;
tfion, and when Ellerbe had finished,
asked him if he meant to say that he, j
^^Hodges, was a liar. Whereupon Ei- j
*"^^erbe repeated his statement and i
Hodges promptly struck him a blow j
in the face. Ellerbe went right at t
him ami spvprfl] blows had been
passed before they could be parted !
amid shouts of "Hurrah for Eller- i
be! Hurrah for Hodges!"
The meeting then closed without'
further incident other than that El-'
lerbe explained that Rogers. Senator i
from Marlboro, had stated that he
was the author of and had printed '
the paper ag linst Hodges and had
j
assumed all *esi*visibility therefor, J
and that he. E ierbe. had onlv circu;
lated about ">*> copies ot tnis circular;
in his district.
The four aspiiants for Congress-,
ional honors from the Sixth district,
Hodges. Seiit-i's. Rrown and Elierbe,
spoke in the order named and were
allowed d?? minutes each by Chairman
A H Williams. Hodges and
Sellers pitched into El'erbe's record;
and criticised severely his demeanor
while in Congress, branding him as a
Republican, a: least in principle. i
Hodges fixed or. Eller!>e there-,
sponsibiiity f r the K??gers circulars'
that had been circulated against him
k i i
two years act' <>n the eve ot the election,
and said that he had at least
fr '
dictated that letter.
Sellers' tak was rather "n thehu-!
r I
morous order throughout, and while,
talking he seemed to have the crowd
pretty well with him.
Brown made a very plain and
pointed speech and gave a clear-cut
statement of his views on the impo?j;tnt
issues, and referred only in
the latter part of his talkto Ellerbe's'
record as t<> his vote to place a taritf
on lumber. He said that for a long
time he had not said one word ,
against Ellerbe or his record and
- M not until Ellerbe had been given
an opportunity to defend his posi-j
tion in voting as he had on the lumber
matter.but Ellerbe had failed to i
explain it satisfastorily to his mind.'
Ellerbe denied having at any time |
or anywhere violated his pledge or

departed from his party principles,
and contended that he had always |
been true to the Democratic platform,
which he endeavored to prove
by reading extracts from the leading
Democrats in Congress, among them
being Champ Clark,minority leader: i
Bell of Georgia, Democratic whip,
and Clayton of Alabama,chairman of
the Democratic convention. He said
he could not but be proud of his
achievements during his six years in
Congress. He had saved enough to
the citizens of his district in having
the tariff on potash reduced to al- f
most pay his salary in Congress for
the next thousand years. He had
succeeded in getting established
nearly 100 star and rural routes and
had got a larger appropriation for

More About tbe Cotton Tare.
Editor County Record:?
On the same day 1 read a letter
in The Record from a cotton buyer
in Kingstree, and one in the News.
and Courier from David R Coker,
Hartsville, urging farmers not to
put but six yards, anu assuring
them of a reduction in price of such
cotton as has more than six yards.
Europe uses two-thirds of our cot"'
ton, and in fixing the price an allowance
of six per cent, or thirty
pounds jvr hale is made for tare.'
Our Legislature last war passed a
bill allowing six per cent. tare. Now
the question is what are ?the farmers
going to do about it? Six yards
of bagging and the usual six ties
weigh twenty-two ixmnds. Eight
additional pounds of bagging would
cost thirty cents, and would sell on
the cotton for It is said that
the exporters add old bagging at the
compresses sutlicient to make the
thirty jvounds tare allowed in Euroj>e.
From such information as I have the
cotton grower is entitled to such
profit as he can get out of the full,
six iK-r cnt. tare, and 1 venture t??
say that if prompt, concerted action :
is taken by a considerable number j
of our farmers there will be n-> re- i
duction in price of such c??tt n as:
has the full thirty pounds Tare.
