The prohibition law is to
come from your Senators and representatives
if it comes at all, the Governor
eanoot make it. Cited Kansas,
prohibition, ten times, Iowa six
times as many liquor licences as
Month Carolina. If you vote for me
I will promise the best efTorts of
my life.
Col. J as. H. Tillman, lieutenant
Governor. Although cannot refer to
political record in the House or Seni
ate. While I have not been tallying
it around they all know that I am a
son of an old soldier and will do as
much as any one else for the country.
I Said ' that the company that went
I from Union to the Cuban war was
(one of the best companies in the
service, and they would have proved
themselves sons of noble aires if they
had become engaged in a fight.
B. B. Evans, Railroad Commissioner,
thanks the hearers for handsome
vote given him before*. Illustrated
the difference in freight
charges, Atlanta, Ga.t and points in
this State, unjust discrimination.
Cotton cannot be shipped from the
lower county, fi5 to.50 cents per hundred,
freight charges on each bale to
your mill, tho reduction on things
enumerated by opponent aro things
that are not so much used by the
farmers as flour, corn, meat, meal,
etc. Spoke as to the discrimination
at Spartanburg, by fre'ght going
through cheupor than when it stops
there, as to Carlisle also, and the unnecessary
delay of passengers there,
(a wait of 1 to 0 hours.) Commissioners
should look after theso things.
Gave the road fits on their depot here,
said it was not fit for negroes, only
few towns whore the Yankee tourists
came are furnished with nice depots.
Looks like the roads owns the Commissioners.
Fertilizers all in the
hands of trusts. Armour ?fc Co. have
got up an opposition plant, which
will hold them, down awhilo, but in a
few years you will be paying two to
five dollars a ton more for your guano.
Reports will show a discrimination
against the Piedmont section in favor
of the Peo Dee section. $160,000 a
year paid by yon more .than you
should, time called and could not
run out the argument.
Mr. W. I), May field was one of the
candidates for Railroad Commissioner
who did not get to speak but in a
talk with him he states his platform
about as follows: Freight rates
should be so regulated as to encourage
fruit growers, truck farmers and
canners, and enable them to offer
their products on the markot on
equal terms with any State. Induce
manufacturers of all kinds to locate
in this State and enable them to offer
their products on the market on
equal terms with any State. Enable
cotton mills in this State to buy on
any market in this State. Give cotton
mills the best rates for shipping
their products. Enable wholesale
merchants in this State to compete
wfth wholesale merchants in adjoining
States. Make Charleston, Port
j Royal and Georgetown import and
export cities on an equal footing
with Wilmington and Savannah.
Jos. T. Johnson, for Congress,
says ho does not make a practico of
talking about his opponent,or of delving
Into his life to find out his faults
j if ho has any. If should be able to
show that'he was the worst kind of a
man that would not make him (Johnson)
any better man, was running on
i his own merits, and wished to talk

; presented. Progress and expansion
has been the watchword of American
Independence. But we are now about
' to bo led into imperialism. There is
\ a vast difference between Jeffersonian
and McKinley expanision. In tho
| midst of his explanation of the difi
rerence he was called down by tho
chairman, Mr. Johnson was under
the impression that he had thirty
instead of 10 minutes in which to
, speak. He was allowed two minutes
> in which to close and he attacked the
extravagance of keeping the army in
the Philippines and said it was costing
the government $200,000 to koep
- the army thore. Did not believe in
I shooting religion into people. Said
' he would not have got up if had
L known he was only allowed 10 minutes.
[ Hon. Stanyarne wilson showed a
| magnanimous spirit when he was in*
troduced, by stating that he would
not make a speech lie knew that
J he had a large crowd to speak to and
, that It was a good opportunity, but
, he also saw What an advantage he
would have over his opponent, wno
? had no showing and be it said to his
? credit that ho would not stoop to
L take even a seemingly unfair advent,
age, so he confined himself to a few
i pleasant remarks to the audience,
- and just touched upon national issues
I to giro the Ropublloan party a rap,do
nouncing it with its Boss Hauna, as
1 the most monstrous iniquity that had
* ever flourished on the face of the
1 earth. \......
1 Both Mt. Johnson and Mr. Wilson
were invited, by obairman Greer, to
s attend our county campaign meetings
I and talk to the people. They promf
ised to do so. >
Hon. Bk H. Tillman was greeted
with cheers and the crowd closed up
B to the front). fTe said he vrfls giad to
reeolye this hearty gfeetirg from Our
s people after an absence of iivo years,
that he appeared before them without
1 opposition "becauso even those who
1. used to be his most bitter enemies
I had come to a realization of the fact
t that he was not such a devil as thoy
3 thought he was after all. He said
? these meetlegs which made tho cah*
t didates come before and faoe people
? whse suffrage they sought was the
V rosuit of the reform movement.
Now be was b.oing attacked tot
e entering this campaign and taking
- part la Stats Issues, he was here by
u'u ' * ? ' ' * t
... iijgri 1^1
1 he authority of the State Democratic
convention who had ordered the
candidates to cpipc before the people,
he was a candidate for Senator, it
was not his fault that ho had no op-1
position. He ' L?on working n* hard
as an ox for you all In Washington
and need rest, but what if "I hadn't
come ? yon alt would havo boen
among the first to sneeringly say, oh,
yes, Ben Tillman, who used to pretend
so much lovo for the poor termors,
the one-gallus boys [voice?and
the wool hat boys] yes, and the wool
hat boy8, has got above us sinco he
has got to Washington, ho has got
too big for his breeches." Now he is
hero and they are saying Ben Tillman
is medling, and trying to boss
the State Campaign. Col. Hoyt has
entered a protest against my coming
into this campaign and meddling.
It has been said that I wanted the
dispensary as a political machine.
What do I want with any better machine
than I already have, that is
you witn your votes, you who have
always stood by me and put mo in
tho placo I occupy, you are all the
machine I need or want. There arc
those who have no opposition, and
who are keeping out of the race, well
the difference is they are politicians
while I am a statesman. This may
sound egotistical, but I consider u
statesman as being one who will"
stand up for his people and endeavor
to lend them in the way shoy should
go. The prohibition voto was not in
the majority. If It had been 1 would
have let it come. I did not think
that it would be the correct system,
would cause you to be liars as you
would have to lie to got your whiskey.
So I advocated tho dispensary, lie
says prohibition is the daddy of the
dispensary, and common sense tho
mother. Saw that old sour-faced
fanatneism gill laying for prohibition,
so helped him, prohibition, to marry
common sense, is not making these
men's light is friend of Hoyt etc. If
you have not senso enough to elect a
Govornor, God pity you, you ought
to go to tho poor house as well as to
a lunatic asylum. You are tho
judges, but would be sorry to have
I VOll to nnpfl morft ni?n t.Vin ftw
the flowing in of whiskey. Seven
years of dispensary, settled by four
elections, but new they come forward
and say they will fight forever. ' As
to CbarleaUaot.4^ <n ?L? i<iB m "south
Caroline or is South Carolina in
Charleston? Ia not satisfied him self
with the law, too much wranglo and
infernal fussing in that board of control,
and too much shortages shown
up. A cleaning up needed. We need
not kill the law because there is
stealing. Same with some Treasurers.
You hear of them being short occasionally.
Hoyt says he will take all
the votes he can get, turning to Mr.
Wilson he says. "I suppose that is
tho idea of all you candidates isn't
it?" Wilson's reply was, "Yos, all
good, honest votes?waving his hand,
all of them ore honest." Tillman
took hini up instantly and said, "Oh,
don't modify it. If you mean to say
good hhnest votes I will say that some
of the votes far Hoyt are dishonest,"
on account of tho whifkey voters'
support. Is dealing with men as
they are. Hoyt is going to treat, you
as men who would never drink except
as medicine. You have determined
what you want, now you must have
the men who wish to represent you
express their opinion of this thing on
the stump. Notorious fact that whiskey
is sold over the counter, of course
it Is, but that is not tho fault of tho
law bub of the enforcement of it.
Hand primary on the question. Prohibitionists
did not vote the opposition
showed a number of hands up.
Culled attention to tho fact of tho
effort of the Republican party to reduce
our Congressmen on the voting
strength and urged every man to go
to the polls and vote at the general
election, as that would be the lover
the Republicans would use to reduce
our representation, therefore it was
necessary to poll every single vote in
the State.
One or two candidates arrived after
Tillman's speech, but the crowd
which were tired out would stay no
longer to listen and dispersed.
It was an all round model campaign
dnj', no rowdyism or drunkenness
and everything passed olt pleasantly.
Campaign day is over and the candidates
have gone on their way rejoiclng.
