sToLBRAND's FRIENDS IN ABBEvILLE.
Q.-If you have no objection to max
ing the fact known, will you tell us the
names of those who are most active tor
you in Abheville?
Al may say that Alb. Titus, the Re-
publican County Chairman, is i'll my In.
terest. / have just had an interview
with him. Alfred Butler is taking a
prominent part in this matter, and per-
haps had more to do with summoning
and securing witnesses than any one else.
TAKING TESTIMONY IN KNoX's HALL.
Q.-Where will you take testimony?
A.-Thls being statutory holiday by
both the laws of the United States and
of the State of South Carolina, and owing
to the fact of Colonel Gary's indisposi-
ton, I will take NJ testimony to day. 1
am not hard pressed any way. and 1 pre-
fer to observe the holiday. This day was
inadvertently sell apart for the work.
We will take testimony tomorrow,
Wednesday, the 23rd, in Knox's Hall,
and if we should not finish, we will con-
clude the work on Thursday morning be-
fore the hour for the departure of the
noon train. We have all appointment
for Anderson, and must leave here: by
that time.
4 CLOUD OF ANXIOUS WITNESSES AP-
B. L. Young, Supervisor at Donald's,
w. NJ. Wimbush. Supervisor at Due
West, and ticket distributors w. NJ. Nc
Curry, J. S. Grier and G. w. Richey
walked iu without knocking. Upon be-
ing asked who they wanted to see, the
spokesman said, "Mr. Stolbrand." After
q short pause one of them said to General
Stolbrand:
"We hear that you are not going to
take testimony to-day 2"
/. Stolbrand-No; this is alegal holiday,
and nothing you might say to me now
would be of any legal force. When we
take testimony, MIR. Gary, counsel of the
defendant, must be present. He is sick
to-day. Tomorrow he or some one else
will represent Mr.. Aiken.
: Anxious witness-We have been here
since yesterday morning. Our expenses
are heavy. We are farmers. We can
not well spare more time from our farEis.
We must 60 home.
Stolbrand-I should be very sorry to
lose your testimony. From what [ have
heard of Due West and Donaldsviile, /
think your testimony would@be valuable
to me. / hope that you will not 60
away.
About this time Alfred Butler called
the General to the door, to speak to him
privately. 1t seemed that the negroes
had found Stolbrand's whereabouts, and
they came in droves. They were prompt
ly asked to 60 down the steps. and the
interview was not resumed.
COMPLIMENT TO COLONEL GARY.
Both General Stolbrand and Captain
Eaton express themselves in the highest
terms as to the courtesy aud ability Of
Colonel Eugene B. Gary, who represents
the Hon. D. w. Aiken. While he has
been very watchful Of his clients inter-.
ests, they have found him to be very
pleasant gentleman.
FOLLOWING A PHANTOM
General Stolbrand is a man of about
fifty years of age, but has the appearance,
of being older. He talks freely, aud, his
courteous and polite manner indicate
that he has seen better days. His gen
eral bearing would impress one with the
belief that he is neither natural born
politician nor man suitable to represent
US in Congress, but we were glad to no
tice in him the absence of any exhibition
of that ill-feeling or hatred to the white
people of the State, so common with Re-
publicans. As candidate for Congress
he is of course following phantom, and
is spending money which could be other
wise more proftably invested.
