The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-08-08

a law after dinner? He gets
sleepy, Claughter] but lawyer'll
pop up day or night whenever
there's any business to be done.
Now II q man wants to keep the
thief out Of his yard at night, if he
gets two great big Newfoundland
dogs and puts them in his yard,
when the thief comes they say,
"bow-wow" two or three times
and go to aleep again, ani the thief
takes your chickens and runs away.
But if you get one of these sharp
cared little foe dogs with a tail
curled up just so, and put him in :
the yard with your big dogs, and
the thief comes, the little dog will
make great noise, and if he don't
make the big ones take the thief,
I'll be bound he won't let en- do
any slaeping. Laughter and
, choers.1 We must have a lawyer
down in Columbia to keep the
farmers from sleeping. Send
Gaillard and Brice and Clowney to
the Legislature, and take my word
they'll sweep things 80 clean that
after that Jim Heron and-and
---can 60 down and take the Job
at dollar a day for there'll be
nothing to do: [Applause.]
Now, my friends, we must all be
in harmony, we can't afford to be
fighting each other and quarreling
among ourselves. Over in the old
country, when people quarrel they
have fair fight. They don't allow
any gouging. heard once of an
Irishman fresh from the old coun-
try who saw two brother Irishmen
fighting, and one had the other
down with his arm twisted around
his neck and with his fingers in his
eyes, just 80; and he threw up
both his hands and said, "My God!
My God What do I see? One
Irishman gouging another! And
they learned it in Ameriky." And
now, my friends, when I see these
letters in the papers, I throw up
my hands and say, my God! Ny?
God! What do I sect Ono
Democrat gouging another" Great
laughter and applause. y"
Now, Mr.. President, see allthese
men going about here for office,
and that reminds me that I had an
Office once In the beginning of the
war volunteered in a company and
they made me third corporal, and I
felt mighty grand, you may be sure,
and got uniform-not one of
your round jackets, but a coat with
a sharp little tail to it and red "
on my arm to show was a oorpo- q
raj. And thoy sent me ont to mount
guard, and by tho time T got back to
ray tent, I heard Corporal, Of the
Guard, Post No. 5 !" and T went to
see what was the matter, and the
fellow says, Corporal, will you
walk my beat while T step off I"
and 1 took his gun and walked
about an hour before he came back,
and L hadn't got away before T
heard Corporal of the Guard, Post
No. 7 J" and won't there and the
fellow asked the same thing and I
walked there the matter Of an hour
and half, and you believe me, they
kept mo walking guard the whole
night. So in the morning, thinks 7 ,
to myself eff this is office, I'll be
id if want it" Claughter1; and I
resigned and took my musket with
the privates. f'.. ."
But, my friends, for the sheriff
here's John McClrley. He worked
against the Radicals for that Office
and got beat, and he spent all his
money, and sold MI his tobacco and
I reckon he gave away every match
in his store. [Laughter.] And at
the last election he kept the peace
at Feastorville as deputy marshal,
and gained twenty or thirty votes
for Hampton and the ticket. I
want you all to vote for McCarley
for sheriff: [Applause.] 0a
Capt. Hayne McMeekin, Mr.. Jno.
d. McCarley and Mr.. r.. Means
Davis were called on, but declined
to say anything, owing to the late
hour. Mr.. ". w. Ketchin responded
to a call in q spirited address, con-
graduating the people on their victo-
ry, and counseling unity of mind and
purpose. We have just tasted the
sweets of victory, he said, and we
must not lose them. All must work to-
gether for the nominees of the party.
