In speaking of unequal taxation he
referred to the Newberry Bank. Mr..
Caldwell here interrupted Mr.. SeaSe
by asking him by what law property
was assessed in Sou h Carolina.
MIR. Sease said by that law that says
that all property must be equally
taxed.
Mr.. Caldwell said: Il beg your
pardon, that Is not the law"
At this Mr.. Sease became = little
rutfied and asked Mr.. Caldwell not to
interrupt him any more as he (Cald-
WE'LL had already had his say.
He said that it the credit of the State

the unfounded reports Of the ''venal

THE MEETING NEAR POMARIA AT ADAM
ACLL's-MR. sLIGH ENTERS THE LIST.
PoMARIA, July 1G.-The crowd here is
still larger than the one yesterday. We
are at the place of Mr.. Adam Aull.
Events of the day were very much the
same, with one very pleasant exception,
viz. large visitation of ladies. There
was no noise whatever at any time, as
result; no outburst of enthusiasm over
any speech. In fact it was model bar
becue. A large number OF the young
folks land perhaps some older ones)
''tripped the light fantastic"
The Rev. J. A. Sigh was introduced
by DR.. D. II. Werts.
Mr.. Sigh said when y. J. Pope was
elected Judge two years ago, he was
offered his seat in the Senate, but de-
clined.
Two years ago he (Sligh) was offered
the position Us candidate for Congress,
but declined. Again he has been asked
to run for Congress on the Tlllman
ticket and has hesitated between policy
and duty. Two or three months ago
he was asked to enter the race for State
Senate, notwithstanding the fact that
he had often said that he would never
90 into politics again he thought it his
duty to make the race.
Now since the friends Of Tilman
have endorsed me they must support
me. Our cause is one dear 10 me. III
succeed the cause will succeed, if / fail
the cause will fail.
Then Mr.. Sigh referred to tue racket
that the newspapers made oyer the pre-
liminary primaries, but he said they
were all over with and that nobody
was hurt. Our papers are outrageous,
they make mountains out of mold bills.
They have no truth to publish 80 they
have gone to down right lying, and
that be did not have enough policy
about himself; he would not injure
man who ran against him; and was a
stronger Tillman man than he had ever
been. Tillman would improve on ac-
quaintance. Mr.. Tillman is a wicked
man; dislike it as much as anybody;
it is habit. You vote for worse men
and you swallow it-I have voted for
worse men and will do it again I eX-
pect. Did not Ex-Governor Hagood
swear? Has not Ex-Governor Richard
son been seen reeling on the streets of
Columbia? Then don't bring up such
an excuse, he has made the best gov
ernor South Carolina has ever had.
Mr.. Sigh referred to the Agricultural
hall and to the Coosaw case. Then be
contrasted the conduct of his party to-
wards Richardson with the opposition
to Tillman, and said that if there were
no issues there was difference.
lam on the Tillman side. If you
want me elected come and help me.
This is campaign of measures and not
men.
Mr.. Sigh then spoke Of the Lester
affidavit, and said that it was made be-
cause he (Sligh) was candidate, but
he had an affidavit signed by eighteen
or twenty men who were in that caucus
saying that the Lester affidavit is abso-
lutely false. The boy is Of good FAM
lily and he (Sligh) was sorry for him. /
blame the old sinners, not the young
man. Then he enjoined his followers
not to resort to things like this, but to
be gentlemen.
Mr.. Sigh said: II swing to no mans
coattail. | have never deviated. Men
have come to me but have not gone
to them. If Georgia, North Carolina,
Alabama and Mississippi had done like
South Carolina-adopted the Ocala
platform-it would have been a warn
ing to Congress. No man could make
millions honestl ly-only through un-
just legislation" The Importance ofthe
Tillman faction having its Congress-
man was alluded to.
Then he spoke of partisan Judges. some
OF whom we have; he would vote so as to
teach them a lesson. Mr.. Mower he COM
plimented highly, saying that he was sor-
ry be was in the race; didn't think be was
aggressive enough for the times; that he
would vote for him for Judge. The call-
Gus thought him (Sligh) better fitted for
the Senate. When Mr.. Wilson told Mr..
Sigh that no man had brought him (Wil-
SOM out, Mr.. Sigh said, Il am sorry for
you then"
Mr.. Sigh again asserted that he had
never changed, and never would. IT was
his friends who had changed, "and hope
they may come back"
The next speaking will be at Iouns's
Grove, near Prosperity, next Wednesday.
