DESNY's August 2l.-About two
thousand people assembled here to-day
TO have the sub-treasury plan discussed
by Congressman Tillman, Col. Taibert
and DR.. Sampson Pope, of Newberry.
Three of the neighboring Alliances
were the hosts of the occasion. They
were very hospitable and courteous to
all the visitors and particularly to the
ladies, of whom a great number were
in attendance. There was plenty Of
lemonade and big barbecue, good
weather, good people and good humor.
Mr.. J. Z. Goggans, himself g pleasant
and fluent speaker, was the master of
ceremonies. He introduced the three
speakers with good deal Of adroitness
in the distribution Of his compliments.
He certainly pleased the speakers as
we'll as the audience. 1t was all sorts Of
o meeting, politically considered. Gov
ernor Tillman was there looking on in
Vienna; Editor Wallace was there
looking on just so; County Lecturer
Bean was there looking on generally;
Representative Blease was there looking
on specially perhaps, and there were a
dozen or more there looking possibly at
the direction of the wind. Of late peo-
pie have got it into their heads that
Col. Talbert will run or be run for Con-
gress in the I'd district against "your
Uncle George" and your Uncle
George" is absolutely certain to run
and be run. AS Col. Talbert would say,
Oats fack," but he, himself, has not
said that he is candidate-thati is to
say, be has not said so publicly or priv
ately so far as the public know. The
opinion is nevertheless rife that there
will be a fight between Col. Talbert and
Col. Tillman, and there is no doubt
that great many people went to the
barbecue to see picnic between the
doughty Congressman and bis probable
opponent. Col. Talbert said that he was
amply satisfied with the result and Con-
gresham Tillman said that he was
satisfied, and 50 far as satisfaction is
concerned why this correspondent is
quite too chokeful Of it for intelliglble
expression. All the ladies seemed also
10 be unutterably satisfied, and if a
cyclone and deluge hadn't come up
in the middle of the amenities the
speaking and enjoyment might have
lasted until it was too dark to distln-
guish a sub-treasury certificate from a
French assignat, a Confederate note, or
a brand new twenty dollar gold certifi-
cate.
The rain came when Col. Talbert was
half through and the wind came up
about the same time and blew the mass
meeting into small pieces, up the road
and down the road and into the woods.
In about five minutes after theapproach
of the storm there was nothing left on
the ground but the echoes OF the thun-
der of the sub-treasury debate.
1t was certainly all sorts ofa meeting,
politically considered. DR.. Poge, a

q many parts of his address. To as

conviction but that the sub-treasury

side of the house.
DR.. Pope's speech was received well.
Everything was received we'll. The
people came to receive everything well,
aud they did it Hospitality and gen.
erously. There was no bad blood en-
sendeled, and the meeting closed as it
began, in a good humor. AS before
stated, the two gentlemen most deeply
interested were satisfied, and why
should not all of us be satisned-ex-
,remely so. There was little fracas

we're perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits.
