! CAMPAIGN MEETING if
: IN KINGSTREE TUESDAY:
| CLEAN AND FORCIBLE ADDRESS- j s
f ES BY CANDIDATES FOR SENAT. I h
| OR, CONGRESS AND SOLICITOR. ],
t/%
There was a notable contrast in ^
the Senatorial campaign meeting ^
here Tuesday and the State cam- t
paign meeting three weeks ago. It j ^
was perceptible not only in the size | ^
of the crowd who gathered to hear i
them, but strikingly so in the verbi-!
kge of the leading candidates and in
Ihe behavior of the audience. There ^
were no noisy rubes yelping *for ^
Tillman, Smith, or any other favor-:

. The court room was filled from a
I' o'clock until the last speaker had f
?
for Congress and two for the office c
^ftfc^of Solicitor.
IShw Col W Jasper Talbert of Parksh
^pille, for some years a Representa?21
&ve in the National Congress, now C
BE q
running for the United States Sen
ate,was the first to speak. He subBB
i!
m mitted his claims for the high office *
in eloquent style, setting forth his ,
K& views upon the measures of para-! *

H| tional government today. He be- ^

paying a high compliment to Wil- |

HH^Pifinished his debate about 6 o ciock, ^
mm &rjB whatever the sentiment or who- r
iXer the favorite of the crowd or t
1 the individual, quiet prevailed
throughout the meeting. s
I Nor was there any mud-slinging: t
or abusive language indulged in by t
B either of the speakers, though there s
were opposing candidates. Mr Rags- d
? dale's speech may be said to have h
been an attack on the record of Mr li
B Ellerbe's service in Congress, but it f
B w^s neither bitter or vindictive,based
B chiefly upon documentary evidence, t
B which, to Mr Ragsdale, tended to ]<
g ahow that Mr Ellerbe had been lax c

wonderfully in the past few years,
nd he was delisrhed to see it. After
elating some of the progress in the
ectiori of the State from which he
ailed, and for which he said he was
argely responsible, he based his
laims for the office of United States
ienator on his record for progressweness.
He discussed the adminis
ration of governmental affairs in a
iusiness-like manner, arguing that
is policies would result in one of
conomy. He received loud aplause
from the audience.
Following the Senatorial candiates
came the candidates for Solictor.
Mr Thos H Tatum, of Bishopille,
bei: g the first speaker, reerred
to the progress of the town

orth his claims to the office and
is qualifications for the same. He
eceived close attention throughout

ime to give an account of his

uties of the office and to express
lis gratitude to the people of Wilamsburg
for their loyal support
our years ago.
The candidates for Congress were i

lusion of his speech.
Mr Ragsdale, Florence, was the
ast speaker. He referred to the

oncerning Tillman and Blease, and j

For Prickly Heat.
The most cooling and soothing
treatment for prickly heat, where
the skin has not been broken, is the
frequent application of the following
wash: Dissolve in a cup of clear j
water as much boric acid as it will <
take up; this is called a saturate solution.
To this add an equal quantity
of pure alcohol. Allow this i
wash to dry on the skin without
wiping. Second only to the above.11
is soda and water., Dissolve a tea- i
spoonful of cooking soda in a small '
bowl of water, and bathe freely and 1
often. Water barely cooler than i
i
the skir is much more refreshing !
and soothing than very cold water. 1
Hives and nettle-rash should have
the same treatment as prickly heat.

HUNDRED PER CENT PURE SAYS
THE DEVICE ON RIBBONS
FLAUNTED BY BLEASEITES
The largest crowd that has yet
greeted the candidates assembled at
Orangeburg Wednesday. The weather
was ideal and the general expectancy
was that the meeting
would be one of the most important
yet held. In the crowd were many
people bearing ribbons marked
"100 per cent Blease." This was
carrying out the idea expressed
by Judge Jones at Georgetown
when he shouted to Blease men:
"You are tagged like fertilizer sacks
and you carry your analysis which
is 100 per cent Blease."
Orangeburg went for Blease in
1910 by eight votes and the factions '
are strongly aligned.
"Any man who'll get up in front
of an audience with a pistol on him
in the presence of ladies in South
Carolina is not worthy to Appear before
the people of South Carolina."
"If I am a common criminal, you
put me in office and some people
will be put behind the bars instead
of being allowed to address the
honest yeomanry of South Carolina,"
said Mr Evans. He further said he
would in a few days'unearth a conspiracy
that would "shock.the people
of South Carolina." which is
being framed by men "supposedly
of honor." He said he would prove
this with facts; facts which he had
gotten from a prominent and honest * j
citizen. Evans' references to Lyon
were only indirect.
Lyon repeated the statement con- ?
cerning Evans' "criminal record"
and his alleged forgeries and in '
3trong terms denounced the character
of his opponent. Lyon was
well received: so was Peoples. Two
thousand people or m >re heard the
candidates. Chief of Police Fischer
sat in tvont of the stage, and other
officers were in the crowd.
