GREENWOOD, S. c., Aug. l3.-Thc
county campaign still RACES hotly.
Although the August convention IS III
session, the intcrcstmani!cstedin in il is not
so rreat as in the county's affairs. The
people are certain as TO the result otthc
convention. but still havea spark Of hope
for the county. There was a campaign
meeting at Ninety-SiN Monday, at which
the majority of county candidates adj
dressed the people, The speeches were
said to be the same as elsewhere. and the
only deviation from the routine was au
unfortunate personal alteration, IN
which the principals were Hon. c. \. c..
Waller, candidate for the Senate. and a
son of Hon. James y. King, candidate
for reelection to the Legislature. AS
near rs the cause of the alteration can
be learned, it is this: In q speech in the
county, Captain King spoke of Mr..
Waller as beng bribed. To this Mr..
Waller gave Captain King the lie. Cars
tain King explained that he had not
meant bribed but influenced. Mr.. Wal
ter told him that he was unfortunate
in his use of words and it seemed as If
the affair should have ended there. but
young King took exception to Mr.. Wal
laer's remark to his father. and sought
personal satisfaction. 1t IS said that
young King drew q pistol and attempted
to shoot Mr.. Waller, but the piece failed
to 60 Oft. Mr.. Waller, it is said, used a
stick, but before any damage was done
the parties were seDartcd and the affair
ended. The affair was extremely untor-
unate. Mr.W aller, OF course, expresses
himselfas regretting itgreatly, Captain
King has not been seen by this corrcspon-
dent. but he Is thoughtful man, and is
doubtless grieved himself at the occur
renee. There was a large crowd at the
meeting. Ninety-SiX is an anti-Tillman
