it put down. Then, said the Governor

He said that so far as Terrell was con-
cerned that bis position to-day Wltn re-
gard to the Alliance was the same az
then, and asked what about Tom Wat
son.

Just about here Tillmau said that ne
did not intend to call Butler his frlend

ming account Of the dispensary, anu
claimed that it showed profit or s9o,-
600 which would be turned over TO the
State as soon as the stock was turned
loose. At Abbeville, for instance, where
the sales amounted to $29 65l, the net
profits divided between town and coun-
ty were s4,565. which was virtually
that much picked up by the county.
About this juncture he made an uu'
warranted thrust at the truthfu!ness
of newspaper accounts.
JUMPS ON SInIoSIeN AGAIN.
The reason he thought Judge Sim
onton decided in favor of the State IN
the tax cases was because Simonton
feared Congress was after him with
sharp stick, through the memorial pre-
sented by him, and Si.nonton thought
il best to come down from the tree.
Simonton was simple tool of Cham
berlaiu, and went on the bench with
out objection from Butler, who knew
of his invasion of States rights" But
he was of the kind his friend, Bunch
McBee, wanted.
Governor Tillman paid some atten-
ton to the separate box matter, and
said that the reason Gen. Butler wanted
it was because in many counties he
coIld get no oue to run as legislator
for him. He was willing for anything
the executive committee wanted. He
closed by making renewe.- promises OF
what be would do for the Ieople, and
ventured the prediction that be would
be overwhelmingly elected Seuator.
AS he wanted to get off Oh the special
he had to stop although bis friends
wanted him to 60 Oh. He worked the
crowd up to a considerable degree OF
enth usiasm and when be left everyone
else went too.

made, and at 4 o'clock everyone had
his goods aud chattels" at the station

THE SUMTER MEETING.
SUMTER, s. c., June 23.-Sumter
County is one of the five anti-Tillman
counties in the State, but the majority
against the reformers is less than 100.
The crowd to-day numbered about
1000, nearly one-half of whom were ne
groes. It was Tillman day, and all
TIE demonstrations were favorable to
the Governor. The speaking was from
platform in rear OF the courthouse,
aud two or three hundred country boys
massed up against it, almost splitting
their lungs cheering Farmer Ben. The
anti-Tillmanites did not turn out in
full force, and those on hand kept very
quiet.
The majority of the crowd were for
John Gary Evans for Governor, who
spoke first. He was cheered Justify
and repeatedly, and made a catchy
speech.
Ellerbe attacked Evans vigorously.
charging that he was on the fence until
the cat jumped in Tillman's direction,
aud now be hugged Tillman harder
than a young fellow would hug his girl.
He referred to Evans as his "distin-
guished little cousin" Elerbe said
that he was pleased to address game
cocks" Sumter people are known by
County man, "swamp fox," and ex-
pected to catch some of the game cocks.
Senator Butler was received with
slight hand-clapping. His speech dealt
with his record almost exclusively.
He defended the Southern Senators
from Tillman's charges of corruption,
and complimented Voorhees, and
Turpie as true Democrats.
