HAMPTON.


The Hampton meeting on Monday
was held in the rain. and the crowd,
which numbered about 600, held 90 to
the last. The stand vas overcrowded
and enc end fell injuring three or four
people.
It was Tillman crowd and Evans
was not present and Elerbe did not
jump on him as usual.
G en-. Butler was persis'en,ly inter-
rupted, but made good speech.
Gov. Tillmau paid his respects to the
blind tigers and dispeusary, and as
usual got the best Of those who talked
back 10 him.

Senator Evans began by saying that
he was prepared to answer any fling at
himself or his people. His cousin Will
lie says he (Willie) would be elected if
there was not ring. There is no ring.
Evans said, except hands all round
ring of the people 1t was doing the
reform movement no good to be making
such charges. Willie has simply lost
his candy.
Senator Evans said that before he
would get up here and appeal to the pre-
judices of the people and try to array
class against class would quit the race
for Governor. | would not attempt to
put the reform movement on such mar
row minded basis [tis in bad taste for
any man to try to get up such feeling.
1t is absurd to talk about shutting man
out because be is not farmer.
Senator Evans concluded with talk

questions raised by Evans and Elerbe.
The Governor said be was in deli

position Of man with two wives each
one claiming to be the right wife.
As to bringing out candidate for
Governor, I will simply state this !:
Since last fall there has been demand
for farmer for Governor. never have
claimed that this is class movement.
Whe, Ellerbe mentioned this matter tc
me, asked him to name the farmers
who were proposed for Governor. He
named several. I told him none of
them would do. / asked why don't

latter part of Gov. Tillman's speech,
which contained nothing new.

minutes, on account Of the rain.

The Barawell meeting yesterday was

! John Gary Evans came forward
full of memories of last nights per.
formance in Charleston. He declar-
ed he was glad to look into the faces
which God Almighty had something
to do with making. The crowd at
Charleston last night was supposed
to represent the best people, but it
had treated him outrageously. From
now on he proposed to pour hot shot
into the ants, because he believed
their cry for peace and harmony was
sham. One of his fings at the
Supreme Court was the. statement
that whenever the people had any
| thing that interfered with the towns
the courts called it unconstitutional.
The dispepsary law Of 1893 had been
kept away from the courts because
they did not propose to submit it to
packed jury. He spoke of the
Charleston crowd as "hoodlums" who
had insulted him, "but most of whom
apclogized afterwards"
Voice-"You gave them hell,
didn't you?'
Evans -"Well, something like it.

t.that Governor Tillman is the most
arrant fraud that ever entered the
political arena of South Carolina :"
This caused pandemonium to break
loose and Cal was bowled down. He
said he could prove it, but the Till.
man boys wouldn't hear Of it. He
then launched into an expose of what
is known as the printing fraud, :"
whereby the Columbia Register was
awarded the public printing. He
tried to show the crowd that "this
damnable iniquity" robbed them of
thousands Of dollars, but they did
more talking than he did. He told
them they did not know their rig hts
and after monkey and parrot time
of twenty minutes he stopped. The
other speakers to-day were Messrs.
Whitman and May6eld, candidates
for superintendent of education.

A Crying Nuisance.

We have heard various complaints recently
from persons who had been driving on our
county roads, to the effect that it has become
almost universal to plow iuto the public
roads, and fill the ruts with dirt, making
them very heavy for driving. The law pro-
vides for public roads not less 10 any case
than twenty feet wide, but we venture to say
that with few exceptions the roads have been
cut into TO such an extent that they will not
average twelve feet. This matter, as we'll as
that of cutting down shade trees on the road
side, should be looked into and reported to
the Grand Jury, and a stop put to it. Unless
this is done, the roads in many instances will
5000 be reduced to q single track and there
will be no shade trees by the roadside at all.
The travelling public have these rights secured
to them by law, but here as elsewhere eternal
vigilance is necessary to preserve them.
This matter has been alluded to before, and
the County Commissioners have called public
attention to it, hitherto With no effect. If
necessary let the Grand Jury now report some
of the offenders, so that the Solicitor may
indict them and make an example of them,
since this is a matter that concerns every one
who has occasion to use the public roads, and
ONE pre-enainently within the province of
the Grand Jury.

Climbed to q Holiday.

Early risers in Old Town last Sunday
were favored with the sight Of a wom-
an climbing the ladders on the staging
of a chimney 1O3 feet high, which has
recently been erected for a mill in that
town. The cause of this sudden rise
in life is said to be the result OF a wager
between the climber, who is a cook in
a hotel, and the landlady, that if she
would climb to the top of the chimney
the landlady would cook the dinner for
her, which she did. It was rather a pc
culiar way Of securing a,holiday, ard
we believe that the average person
would rather go without one than to Sc
cure it in this way.-Kennebec jour
