at Camden. The crowd was small and
reasonably we'll behaved. The inter.
est of the campaign centers in the sen.
atorial race, Senator Butler and Gov
ernor Tillman being the chief attrac-
tions of the circus. Tillman was very
tame and Sunday school-like in his in
troductory remarks, but warmed up as
he went along. He spoke of his unu
sual experience in this campaign and
protested against the policy of conduct
ings on the line of personal abuse.
Speaking of the way he had responded
at Lancaster to the attack made upon
him by Senator Butler he said: "When
l got to Lancaster pulled off his shirt
and lifted the hide and put some salt
and pepper under it. We Edgefeld
fellows know how TO use pepper. He
may have some more pepper and L will
give him all the time he wants as will
only take twenty minutes. Buffers
charges that 1 am liar and a thief
and coward do no good" He was
willing TO discuss public issues if per-
mitted to do so or il ii we're preferred
that he should pitch rocks, he prom
ised to pitch two rocks to Buffers one.
There was nothing to hide in his pub
lie record. His private life was open
to most careful scrutiny. He had lived
for the last Ave years under calcium
light, and il anything could have been
found against him it would have been
discovered by this time. Here there
was vigorous outburst of applause for
Governor Tillman, and in response to
this he cried out: "They burnt the
woods and sifted the ashes and have
not found a louse" He challenged
Senator Butler to bring out anything
he had against his private or public
record. He intimated that there might
be something in General Buffers re-
cord but that he did not fight that way,
bnt il Butler wanted it that way he
could give him more than he sent, ten
to one. General Butler had been ask
ing for q primary for the senatorship
Mt every point. II made no difference
to him, az he was sure to get the senator
ship, but he saw no necessity for q pri-
mary when the members of the Legis-
lature wto elected the Senator were
directly chosen by the people. He
urged his followers to he very careful
who they elected. Butler was the

I promise that I will use that pitcbforE

call Butler "Coxey" Butler from thie
time on and would plaster that name
or his forehead at every meeting in
the State.
Tillman smoke for only about fifteen
minutes and wound M with an appeaI
for peace. The people of the state
needed peace and unity in every sense
of the word. In his peroration he de-
clared that he wanted to go to the Sen.
