the i crowd were with him, and the

man had said about hell, and said
itSwas very naughty to use such
language before ladies, forgetful OF
the fact that it must be equally
naughty ii him to repeat it before
the ladies at all the campaign

some dreadful words that an
other little boy said, with the as
sertion that he himself is too good

At Hampton Tillman's friends
were again in the majority, and his
wit and logic were enthusiastically
applauded. Orr continued 70 repeat
at all the meetings the naughty
words, and Sheppard to reclte

seem to think nothing more origl-
nal is necessary to success in stump
speaking.
AT Beaufort the. attendance was
slim and the Governor spoke only
thirty minutes. After the meeting

party a delightful excursion down

we're so enthusiastic that they
would lot-even listen to the ants.
In his speech here the Governor
said, apropos Of his reference to
prohibition in his inaugural ad-
dress: "Men will no more stop
drinkiingth than they will stop marry
ing, and as it is an evil, the best
thing to be done is to make it as
little evil as possible. If three.
fourihs of the license was paid

nriies, there would be less induce
ment to cities to license bars, and
many of them would declare for
local prohibition. This change
would reduce taxes"
The correspondent of the News 'is
and Courier states that at the
Barnwell meeting Governor TIL

TO the people of this county not to
hear Tillman and Sheppard once
again during this campaign. These
duennia1 jamborees are all the fun
we poor sinners have, and when
we are left outin the cold itmakes
us shiyer.
AT Walterboro an old negro sold
the crowd what he called ssTillnaan

fellow was polite if he wasn't o

Nicodemus Democrats-that is
what they call the Haskellites now;
and the reason they call 'em that
is because they had to be born
again before Irby would let 'em
into the kingdom of Democracy.
