CAMPAIGN DAWN SEWBERRY.
4 Small Crowd Out to Hear the Caudi-
GateS-The Crowd Eurrah for Till
man While Earle and BratGom
Speak.

Campaign day III New berry has come
and gone. Last Friday was the great
day for this campaign Of education"
to make its exhibition in Newberry
The crowd was not as large as many
expected to see here. This is busy
time with the farmers and no doubt
many Of them decided it would be
more profitable to them to remain at
home and attend to their own business
and try to have their crops worked.
Of course there were many here who
are so enthusiastic that they would
possibly have preferred TO have lost 4
whole crop rather than to have failed
to hear Capt. Tillman. | hardly think
there were hardly upwards Of 400 voters
present at this speaking although l
have heard the crowd estimated al
from 400 to 1900. Not many Of the
people from the town went out.
| shall write what is published in
The Herald and News Of this meet
ing over my own name. However, in
making up this report, shall not only
use NV own notes, but shall refer to and
use the reports as published III Char
lesion World, News and Courier and
Augusta Chronicle, and this mention
shall deem sufficient credit to these
papers.
AIN sorry there were Il number Of
persons in the crowd who seemed de-
termined that no one should be given
hearing but Capt. Tillman, and even
during his speech they could not re-
press their enthusiasm so that at times
even Capt. Tillmau was annoyed by
the cheers and hurrahs. l heard sew
eral say they just could not help it.
They were full and they had to 'holler.'
There We're good contingents here
from Edgefeld snd Laurens who were
Tilman men and they added their en-
thusiasm to that Of the strong Iillman
men present from Newberry.
regret the discourtesy shown Gen.
Bratton and Gen. Earle during the de-
livery of their speeches, for | had
hoped to see Newberry County do the
proper thing and give all the candi-
dates q respectful and attentive hear
ing. But suppose they just couldn't
help it. Outside of this the day passed
otfvery pleasantly. All the candidates
seemed tired and worn from the weeks
work They had spoke successively
for four days beginning at Greenville
on Tuesday, Spartanburg Wednesday,
Laurens Thursday and NeWberry Fri
day, and had travelled between times.
The County Executive Committee
had done everything in their power to
make the arrangements perfect, and to
give every candidate the same attention
and courtesy, and l think they sue
ceeded as far as it was possible for them
to do it.

AS Capt. Tillman came out OF the
hotel to get in his carriage many OF his
admirers had assem- bled in the street
and 4 big cheer was sent up for him.
MANY congregated around his carriage
to get q glimpse of him. MesSrs. Earle
and Bratton had many friends in the
crowd also, but they were not so de-
lnonstrative Some pelsons think that
ifthe Laurcns and Edgetield men who
we're at the speaking had been elimin-
ated from the crowd that Capt. Till
man would scarcely have had Il majori-
ty of the crowd present. am satisfied
tbot his majority present was not as
larre as the noise indicated, yet l tnihk
the crowd present contained Il decided
majority of I'illnlan men. ! am rs
fu}Iy satisfied. however, that capt.
Tillman lost ground in NcWberry last
Friday and that he could have been
stronger if he had not come here at all.

about II o'clock, and tie following

. iatns for State offices mentioned above.
