lLIiSiS, ~. 41S "SS NPPoSSN 49,
registration law st first, but after be-
coming more familiar with it thought
it would work we'll. He was bitterly
opposed to the formation of new
counties, and had circulated petitions
to that effect and sent them to the
Legislature, but the proper time would
be in the November election on tie
Constitutional amendment allowing
smaller territory to form new counties,
when it should be voted down.
Capt. Geo. S. Swygert spoke next.
He was anti-stock law and always
had been, and illustrated his thirteen
years necessary experience with it.
But bis idea was not to disrupt the
Democratic party on this or any oth'r
issue, yet it did not suit the south
side of Saluda River. Let those Sec
tons it suits have it. 1t was a. law
now, and we should make the best of
it until the proper time comes to have
it amended. He was opposed to pew
counties, and urged the necessity Of a
Democratic government.
After diurer Mr.. Carol Bookman
read an excellent address showing the
results of adhering to the Democratic
party. In concluding he spoke of
the stock law as being of great bene-
fit to some sections of the county.
He knew it by years of experience,
and he himself had and would have
it whether it was a law or not, yet he
thought it wrong to force it on locali-
ties which it did not suit. He did
not desire to be elected on any out
side issue, but upon his merits, and
if the people saw fit to send him to
the Legislature he would do the very
best he could for them.
Mr.. J. NJ. Shealy was next called,
and made q good of-hand speech.
He said that he was only running for
County Commissioner, which was
looked upon as a low Office, but he
did not think so, as they had the
levyiug Of taxes and disbursement Of
the same, which was OF much impor-
lance to the taxpayers.
Maj. D. T. Barr then spoke. He
proposed to run upon his own merits,
aud if elected would do his whole
duty for his constituents. He closed
with an earnest appeal to his Demo
cratic friends as to their duty in the
coming campaign, knowing that Lex
ington would not fall short of duty
to the party.
Hon. S. P. Vineyard gave US a reg
ular ~"Simon-pure" speech, covering
pretty mueh,the same .grouadaa 1e
have reported before, with the excep-
ton Of the new county movement, the
formation of which, he said, would
prove burdepsome to the toiling tax
payers.
Mr.. John B. Kyzer was called, and
only made a report Of the workings
Of the free schools.
Prof. Sharp introduced the speak
ers in an able manner, and closed the
speaking with an excellent address.
Prof. j. F. Harnan's string band
dispensed its mellow strains to the
appreciative crowd after each speech,
and at the close Of the speaking stirred
the fantastic toe through the mazes
of the dance. The dinner vas pre-
pared by that French culinary artist.
Hannibal Swygert, and was enjoyed
by all partakers.
