tales before one of those "small but en-
thusiastic" audiences, as apologetic and
charitable newspaper men sometimes
say Of theatrical performances where
the gate receipts scarcely pay board
bills. Speeches were made by Stokes,
Tindal, Whitman, Ellerbee, EVars, But

Gen. Ellerbe got vigorous and laid
the ring business on ohm Gary with a
troWel. He first touched up the Spar
tanburg end Of the State by showing

made cold blooded charge Of double
dealing against the sage Of the Pied.

Can't wrote me that his county was

and It's no less than robbery. That is
certainly evidence Of ring; and be-
l1eVe that the rank and file of the peo-
pie will smash it as we smashed the old
ring. One OF my friends told me here
today that they had already packed
this county for John Gary Evans.
The buckley" braves didn't relish
this plain talk worth copper, and
they began to flare up at the intrepid

But the General kept that to himstlf,

Evans at Gen. EIlerbe.
The General tried to explain that he

Evans waltzed into him, declaring that

would give all his brothers Office. He
apologized for "spanklng little Willie

necessary by whining.
Evans proceeded TO make worry So
rious charge against the Supreme
Court for their decision against the
d1spensary law. A gray haired man on
the stand asked IL the judges didn't get
little whiskoy.
II expect they did get little through

Gen. Buffers speech contained q
statement about the expenditures of
the dispensary. He said:
L have presented extracts from Mr.
Traxler's report for the quarter ending
January 81, 1894, on former occasion,
but the Facts have never been grouped
as l have them now. If they can be
satisfactorily explained, I would be
