teacher and pupil, snd their friends are
glad to see them. always.
Mr.. Walter q. Geer has been spending
oaporo1 Ia In NTH hfu nj t,ar
family.
Well, the Advocate either thought our
reply in last weeks paper unworthy Of no.
tice, or intends confessing its inability to
justify Its course in the matter.
The disgracefnl mobbing Of Maj. Muir
ray was, we suppose, the direct outcome
Of the advice given a few days ago at q
club meeting in Bolton. a prominent
speaker advised the crowd, who were
Tillmanites, to fret insult the anties and
il they didn't like that to mash their
mouths. Maj Murray was first insulted
and they. attempted afterwards to break
his bones.
how has this state of things been
brought about? No man can successfully
assail Mr.. Murray's record. No man can
say he is directly opposed to their interests.
No, it has been brought about by the lead:
to above.
What kind of man was at the head of
this mob? Are such men as him to be
followed by white Democrats of South
Carolina for the purpose Of mobbing o
man like Maj. Murray? I won't disclaim
youas fellow citizens because can't, but
let me appeal to you to cooly examine
your deeds vf that day at Cedar Grove and
see how low and co Rardly and mean was
your action.
Now contrast the meeting at Williamson
with that at Cedar Grove. Just think
of an assemblags of $500 people at a po.
litical meeting and not one fight or any.
thing of the kind to mar the pleasure of
ladies present. Cheers in abundance, but
q complete absence OF rowdyism. No in
suits were offered to men of opposite
opinions. But what was the case on the.
other side? I will show to what extremes
they went? Some ladies and young men
from this town were Missed at, and had
sand thrown at them as they passed Cedar
Grove Church. They report 1t as the most
disgraceful thing they have ever known
white men to engage in in their presence,
We don't want to accuse the whole
crowd of this thing, hut wish the blame
could be fixed on individuals. Let US re.
peat that the leaders arc to blame for most
of the trouble.
Say, Democrats, can you vote for a man
who will give such advice as was men
toned in the beginning Of this article. Do
| you want to know who this man is? Ifyou
| do come to Bolton and he can be- named.
Let us continue to work for Sheppard
and Orr aud pure Democracy.
SUBSTITUTE.
