July 22.?Clarendon county stood by Its own today If ap? plause be any Indication. O. C. Scar? borough, candidate for railroad com? missioner and J. 11. Lesesne. out after Qeo. 8. Legare's seat In congr? ss, were glvon ovations. Thomas G. McLeod, candidate for governor, from the neighboring county of Lee, was ap? plauded to the echo. Four candidates, Cole L. Bleare, J. Fr?ser Lyon. G. McD. Hampton and B. B. Evans were absent from the meeting today. 4 All '.he candidates present, except tho^e run ilng for governor and for congress, poke In the court room, but Its seating capacity was insuffi? cient to accommodate the crowd, not more than SSO of whom could get within hearing, so the meeting was adjourned to the auditorium of the new school building, where every one .could listen seated while the "big guns" boomd. Manning has a right to be proud of her new court house, set In the middle of a well kept lawn, sprinkled with nifty little "keep off the grass" slgna which warn the uninitiated to keep on the cement walks which lead up to the entrance. The new school building, too, is a credit to a town of this sUe. Many of the candidates complimented Manning on having two such buildings. The Clarendon audience was un? usually generous with Its applause. A large number of women heard the speeches, which accounted possibly for the number of candidates who received bouquets. The meeting opened in the court room promptly at 11 o'clock, with a prayer by Rev. F. H. Shuler, County Chairmen A. J. Rlchbourg presided. The candidates for attorney general had the right of way today, but neith? er J. Fr?ser Lyon nor the other aspir? ant for the office were present. The would-be adjutant generals spoke In the following order: Capt. J. M. Richardson, MaJ. Charles Newn ham and Capt. W. W. Moore. When the candidates for railroad commissioner took their turn, O. C. Scarborough, the first speaker, was given a rousing welcome by his neigh? bors and friends in this, his home oounty. Frequent bursts of applause Interrupted his speech. James Cansler spoke next, and G. Heyward Mahon followed him. G. McD. Hampton, who has been ill, has not yet rejoined the campaign party. The two candidates for lieutenant governor. C A. Smith and E. Walker Duvall, made their usual speeches. Mr. Smith was presented with a bunch of flowers. Then the meeting adjourned to the auditorium of the school house, where It was again call? ed to order at 12.50. The audience had a p p/. re :i M v increased. Ibtween 100 and 800 people filled the seats on the lower floor and in the gallery of the auditorium. Capt. John G. Richards was first Introduced. He totd of his political career, advocated an adjustment of taxation bv res sessment. declared lhat he was the author of the recent bill giving State support to the needy rural schools and of scholarship bills In favor of Winthrop and Clemson. He called himself the "only simon pure" farmer In the race for govern? or. Capt. Richards called Mr. Hyatt an "air plant" farmer and told of his plantation on the fifth floor of the akyscraper. Coming to the Honor question, Capt. Richards declared that he was a pro? hibitionist, but. If elected governor of South Carolina, and the next legis? lature were to pass a local option bill, he would sign It. He said th it he stood for "majority rule." That the six wet counties should not be allowed t<> nullify the will of the ma? jority. He appealed to the prohibi? tionists of Clarendon to unite with those of the other dry counties an! wipe out whiskey. The chairman r?au ?* telegram from Cole L. Illease which Mated trat Important business had prevent? ed him from attending the meeting today. J. T. Duncan then spoke. C. <\ Featherstone met with pro? longed appal Ufte wl >n he arose to speak. He began hi* address with a abort skett h of his career, but soon took up th?? whiskey question, declar? ing that It struck at the very founda? tions of Rood jfi.\ernmcnt Manhood and dollars and cents could not be weighed In the same scale. Ho told, as usual, of his advocacy of local op? tion as a means to an end. Local op? tion he declared an unsound doctrine when applied to anything Wh* h <i> bauched public morals, lie compared the sale of cocaine to the sale of li? quor, asking why Charleston was not perm i'*. i r , H.ll this drug. lie de rtarsd tho "w*?t counties" practically nullified prohibition In the "dry coun? ties-" The remainder of Mr. feather stone's speech was devoted to a dis? cussion of the enforcement of law and order, reduction of taxation, bi? ennial sessions of the legislature and the holding of State and county elec? tions every four years. Mr. Featherstone was presented with a bouquet. F. H. Hyatt announced his "busi? ness platform" at the outset. He said that he had not "paraded over South Carolina for tho past 12 years talk? ing about whiskey in order that he might ride Into office on it." Other things were much more important. He had fought for good roads. He together with others, had helped to raise the price of cotton. The country, declared Mr. Hyatt, had gone wild on extravagance, and no one could predict how much high? er the wave would rise. Mr. Hyatt said that he wanted better schools with better paid teachers. If he had his way, an agricultural course would be put into the curriculum of every school in the State. Mr. Hyatt closed his speech with a discussion of the State's finances. Before Thomas G. McLeod was an? nounced, the audience began to ap? plaud, and he was greeted with an? other round when he rose to speak. Mr. McLeod declared that he stood for education as represented by the common schools, high schol and col? lege. Mr| McLeod said that a political platform was like a car platform, it was to get in on, not to ride on. If some of my opopnents, he asked, did not have the prohibition platform to run on what would they have? I He warned the audience that they might lose prohibition, for which they had fought so long, by passing a State-wide measure, forcing it on counties which did not want it. If, said Mr. McLeod, any odium were attached to the principle of local option, his opponent, Mr. Fea? therstone, had advocated it four years ago and two years ago, and two years was too short a time "for him to get the smell of fire out of his gar? ments." Mr. McLeod asked for promotion to the office of governor if his rec? ord was such as to warrant it. He closed his address amid a tremendous burst of applause. Mr. McLeod, too, was given a bouquet. The two candidates for congress from the First district were the last speakers. Oeo. S. Legare, the incumbent, was first introduced. Mr. Legaro said that he expected to meet with a cool reception in Clar? endon, the home of his opponent, J. H. Lesesne, but was gratified to find that he had so many friends in the audience. He denied that his illness during the past session of congress had made him derelict in his duty to his district. Mr. J. H. Lesesne, Mr. Legare's op? ponent, who spoke today In his home town, was given an ovation by his fel? low townsmen. He attacked Mr. Le? gare's record In congress, but denied that he washed to take advantage of him on account of his illness. Mr. Lesesne received three bouquets With his speech, the meeting came to a close. The campaign is over for this week. The tour over the State will be resumed next Tuesday when the candidates gather at Monck's Corner. Many o' the o'llce seekers will at? tend the picnic at Olanta tomorrow, where 4,000 are expected. safety device CAUSED disas? ter.

CROWING COCK CAUSES TROUBLE Millionaire and Former College Presi? dent in Row at Aslieville. Asheville, N. C, July 20.?Because his chickens got up early in the morn? ing and crowed and clucked at an un? earthly hour, Dr. George T. Winston, former president of the University of North Carolina, University of Texas and A. and M. College of North Car? olina and a beneficiary of the Carne? gie fund, was today made defendant In a warrant sworn out in the police court by Stanley Rowland, son of R. S. Howland, former millionaire own? er of the Providence Journal and owner of an interurban electric road here. By a coincidence the case of the cocks will be tried in the morning by Police Justice Cocke. Mr. Rowland's lawyer could find no law forbidding chickens from crow? ing and therefore lngoked * a State law which provides >jpiat if friendly warning be disregarded a magistrate shall send a constable to shoot chick? ens who enter another's grounds. Howland claims the Winston chick? ens invade his premises every morn? ing and made such a noise that his tenants threaten to leave. Prof. Win sion's freight assert that the tenants are Christian Scientists and maintain they should disregard the crowing, because it is a manifestation of error which does not exist. Constable Jones declares i.hat he is a poor marksman. The police judge says the law does not say to whom the slain poultry shall belong. RICH LAN I) SHERIFF FINED. Results in Interesting Development?

Mr. Dowle told newspaper men this evening that he might take the mat? ter up with Governor Ansel.

Hayne, the South Caro? linian who has been so conspicuous in recent years in the fight to keep up the price of cotton, was attacked in Delmonico's last Tuesday by Lamar Fleming. Mr. Hayne is now a resi? dent of New Orleans, but he has many friends in his native State. The following account of the tight is from the New York Tribune. "A cotton mill was in operation in downtown New York on Tuesday af- I ternoon, with Frank B. Hayne of New J Orleans, one of the leading members of the so-called bull party, and La mar L. Fleming, a prominent bear, | who is associated with Hayden, Stone & Co., as its active executive. It was opened in the old Delmonico's, at William and Beaver streets, just across from the New York cotton ex? change. Unlike the type familiar in New England and the South, to which the raw material dealt in on the ex? change is sent, this mill turned out no finished product, but may be said to have been itself a cotton product, since it was started as a result of do? ings on the exchange, and after a very short time its machinery was stilled, probably forever. "In other words, there was a brief season of fisticuffs in Delmonico's, with Mr. Hayne and Mr. Fleming as the principals. The cottqji market had a sensational break on Tuesday. July falling about 80 points, or $4 a bale, and serious declines occurlng in all of the leading futures. The bear party made a determined and suc? cessful drive at the market, their op? erations being materially assisted by heavy selling from out-of-town points, due to reports that the bull party had liquidated its holdings and that its deal had collapsed. "Many bear houses had sent out letters in the morning to their corre? spondents, giving this report; but Mr. Fleming, it was said, followed up his letter with dispatches to the same ef? fect. The bull houses soon began to receive from many parts of the coun? try, especially the South, inquiries as to the accuracy of the statement, and Mr. Hayne, who was among those to whom the dispatches were addressed, sent answers characterizing the re? port as a He. "After the close of the market many of the brokers, among them Mr. Hayne, went over to Delmonico's to have luncheon* for the session on the exchange had%een too important and exciting to make it safe for them to leave the trading pit before the closing gong sounded. Soon Mr. Fleming came In, and noticing Mr. Hayne sitting at a table, walked over to him and placing before him a copy of one of the dispatches in which he had strongly denounced Mr. Flem? ing's sending out of the report that the bull deal had collapsed asked him if he was responsible for that tele? gram. "Mr. Hayne adjusted his glasses, read the dispatch and answered: 'I am.' "Thereupon Mr. Fleming struck him and Mr. Hayne retorted in kind. Friends of Mr. Hayne say that he 'knocked Fleming flat as a flounder,' but the Fleming adherents deny it, and in proof point out that Mr. Flem? ing shows no marks of a blow of sufficient force to have brought him to the floor. Some of the brokers 'have it on the best authority' that there was only what prizefight ex? perts might call a 'mix-up,' but it was sufficiently lively to involve the pull? ing down of a tablecloth, which brought with it a clattering and cracking medley of china and glass and silver. "Mr. Fleming was averse yesterday to giving an authentic and official ac? count of the encounter, saying: 'When two gentlemen settle a matter in that way it is better not to discuss it.' "The last recorded fist lights be? tween members of the cotton ex? change took place about five years ago, both on the floor of the ex? change, the participants therefore be? ing liable to discipline by the govern? ing body. One round was between B. S. Castles and J. J. Chew, and the other between C, T. McGhee and Charles Mayhoff. All were suspend? ed on January .r>, 190f>, for 60 days." ?Soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercise or injury, a quickly relieved by the free api Il? lation of Chamberlain's Liniment.

Boanoke, Va., July 22.?Robert Hudson was shot through the heart anu instantly killed, also Ernest Hud? son, aged 19, son of Robert Hudson, was shot through the abdomen, and R. A.

Columbia, July 22.?It is expected that the reports soon to be made by the telephone companies to the rail? road commission will showr that there are over 20,000 being used in the State.

CHIDES MUS. LONGWORTH. Cigarette Smoking Sets Depraved Ex? ample, Says Miss Gaston. New York, July 21.?"I think it an outrage that women of the type of Alice Roosevelt (Mrs. Nicholas Long worth now) and Miss Eleanor Sears the Boston society leader, smoke cig? arettes and 'encourage the habit, to the ruin of many a foolish girl who believes it 'smart' to follow their vile example," said Miss Lucy Page Gas ton, of Chicago, founder of the Anti Cigarette League of America, to a press representative at the Hotel Martha Washington today, where she is making her headquarters for her New York campaign. Miss Gaston declares that cigarette smoking prevails to an astonishing extent among college girls, society women, actresses and women In gen? eral. She says she will add re-.?.* a letter of reproach to Miss Scars, whom she considers the spokes-wom? an of the cigarette-smoking women, and that a committee of tho K-ngue will visit Mrs. Longworth with anti cigarette literature and arguments. "If Miss Sears pays no attention to my letter," said Miss Gaston, "J shall pay her a visit, as I expect to go to Boston shortly. "I shall try, with the aid of the league, to reform cigarette-smoking women, and should like to start in on Miss Sears and Mrs. Longworth. We will also go after the boys." "How about reforming the men?" "Oh, that's too big a propostion for myself or the league just yet. But with the women it is different. Do I object to women smaking in private? Certainly, I object to them smoking at all. "It Is astonishing the extent to which smoking in private prevails. Women smoke in their boudoirs, in the ladies' parlors of theatrtd and steal puffs occasionally at fashionable restaurants from the cigarettes of their male companions. "Do you know," continuea Miss Gaston, "there are cigarette-smoking woman of old families and of largo wealth in this city who are as de? praved as any of the unfortunate wo? men who walk the streets. 1 have it on excellent authority."
