The meeting adjourned one hour far be- for dinner and again Jupiter xissoss IMuvius sought to dampen the tality. j spirits of the crowd and the dinners that wore laid ! out. The Cross Keys people are very hospitable. It was not a basket picnic, but so many of the ladies spread their dinners and invited others to join them. A barl>ecue also was served by Messrs. Whitmire, Wilhurn and i Betsill. After dinner, J. G. Hughes was introduced. Hut the crowd was slow in gathering ?o the people that were present clamored for J. B. Lancaster to sing his old war song. And the medicine worked like | magic, for just as soon as ho l?egan that song, "Honors to The Gray Jacket," the people flocked around. After it was sung the people voeif-! erously cheered the old soldier, in whose breast still burns the patriotic fire of the (iO's. Hughes presented his ideals of the legislative course. Hughes is the most systematic sheakcr in the party excepting probably Mr. Jos. Sanders. His speech is practically the same each day, under well de-' j fine*! heads, and altogether pleasant' , to hear. Me argues still that if the, child lalior law cannot he enforced, a compulsory education law can 1 e ' nothing but a dead letter. "The lispensary can be reformed; it, diould he whitewashed on the in<ide as well as the outside, and the 1 Raysor-Manning hill will do this.'" J vnys the dispensary under the state' nanagement, as leformed by the! 'laysor-Manning hill, is his plat-, orm, hut the people may vote in j he regular primary and not a< -1 ording-to the Brice act. i H. C. Little appears for two: easons: first, to give an account of lis six years stewardship; and sec-1 tnd to seek re-election. Little for he first time stated tlyd. iyvt. tq t, he ntale dispensary he favored ountv dispensary. Says prohibi-l can't be, and he never would j ;ote for a license to individuals, j )n the compulsory law, Little replied that, although it might he a j lead letter, if it caused 1<X) hoys i md girls in South Carolina to get' m education then it is a God-send, fs unalterably opposed to immigra,ion because of corrupting influence >11 our citizenship. He believes, hat the natural increase in our irate will best solve tins labor; \ luestion. (Cheers for Little.) \ I)r. J. G.' doing in liis usual ^ jarnest way presented his elaims. ^ S't-xt to prohibition he favors ' ;ounty dispensary. Says we now * lave a county dispensary virtually, H 'or the state machine serves only j ^ imfr-purpose and that is bottling ? tnd shipping out the whiskey to the ariouscoiinties. (Cheers for (io- ~ ng.) ( STATU SKNATK. The rain was so heavy at this, ime that it forced the people inl?ors and the speaking was carried >n inside the school room. 15. F. Townsend spoke very oreefully and even eloquently, le showed, as on previous occasions, how prohibition was a failire, how high license would ncrease drinking and cause law >reaking, and how, if the dispenrnry were so corrupt, then the lounty dispensary woiild lie equally orrupt. He scored Browning for ntroducing a high license hill into he the legislature; for voting in avor of tin- Morgan hill granting | special privilege to the city of j Charleston, which city has been j igainsi, every good tning South | Carolina ever instituted. Town- ! 'end called on the people to decide ' vhat Christ would do on this liquor ' luestion. The chairman then introduced he man, whom Cross Keys ix'ople i lonor and love, L. .1. Browning, j ind the people sent up ringing | beers. Browning thanked his peo-1 | lie, assuring them that he had1 I stood by his colors always, or he1 ' vould never stand before them and ! isk for office. He charged Town- ? send with inconsistency in voting igainst the dispensary last year and low upholding it, saying he did it or the sake of popularity. Says Townsend is deceiving the people is to the nature of the bill he inrodueed in the legislature.' 'When I found 1 could not get vhat I wanted in my bill, I was lot donkey enough, as my friend says he would have been, to rear lack and say, '1 am right.' I ac-! epted what 1 believed best for my people." "Mr. Townsend started >ut at Salit lie as a state dispensary idvoeate; at Carlisle he was about lie same, but at Black Bock he was | i local option ist, with preference to I itate dispensary." lie lndievs the itate dispensary worst solution of j j lie whiskey question. He op-' >ose8 I'aysor Manning hill, lie' rotcd for the two and one-half cent rate on railroads. "I am hired by! no cor juration?can my friend say; as much?" (Townsend,) "I am <outhern Hail way attorney in I'nion county." browning thinks j Townsend could hardly vote for tiny law that would 1m- against the railroads.
