ator had intimated several times tina
ne lI1ilman) was q coward because H.
mad not jumped on Simonton in Charles
5on. When he wanted to talk abou

would not allow him. 1t was said /,
Io9o that he CTillman) would not 90 t,

tlme Butler was springing his trap.
Iillman, in talking about Simonton
| SAID that Simonton had sucked States
| rights with his mothers milk and had
Deen the Irst man to plant dagger in
the states breast. &imonton had been
appointed because he was tho tool ol
Chamoerialn and Wall street. Tillmar
poked hot shot into Simonton.
Speaking of the talk about peace and
unity, Tillman said the Conservatives
mated him because the Reformers sun.
ported him. They do not want peace
and unity and if they keep up as they
are the Reformers will have to clear
out the road as they have before.
Governor Tillman said that the dis.
Pensary will reopen about the 1st OF
August. The Governor took O hand
primary on the dispensary and it was
unanimous for that system of controll-
ing the liquor traffic. The Governor
turned toward the hotel piazza for the
vote against the dispensary and several
ladies raised their hands.
The hand primary to decide between
himself and Butler for the Senate was
also unanimous for Tillman, and thun-
derous applause followed.
Aiken people love tho bright and
oralny young candidate of theirs for
Governor, and gave him an ovation
which would latter a man of many
years of political ambition satisfied.

more voluminous than for Tillman. AS

longed taaJ the chairman could not
proceed for several minutes.
Senator Evans said if he was anv
Judge Aiken would have tho next Gov,
ernor. loud cheers
Aiken, he declared, would do her
duty no matter who was nominated for
Governor and would not sulk. (Ap-
plause.)
Senator Evans said that their enc
mics call Tillman the big devil and him
the little devil. (Laughter.) He was
sorry to see several women voting in
favor of the dispensary. He appealed
to the women of Aiken to say that dur
ing the time the dispensary law was in
effect tho streets of Aiken were free
from drunkards. Any woman could
walk the streets then and feel that she
was safe, but she cOnldn't do so under
Tho saloon SUSfarn Tf 1nf 20 l.
know the women of Aiken would vote
for the dispensary
senator Evans proceeded to talk on
the d1spensary, maintaining the posi-
tlon he has all along taken, that no bet
tor law can be passed.
Besides the great applause which en-.
sued when Senator Evans sat down two
little girls walked on tho stand and
presented him with beautiful boouets
Senator Evans promised his admirers
TO get married as soon as this canvass
is over.
Secretary of State Tindal followed
tho Game Cock. He told why the Re.
form movement had been organized
and what were it's objects. He gave
the usual advice to the farmers about
keeping up their organizations and
made one of the plain, practical talks
which characterized him.
MIR. Tlndal said he would enforce the
Dispensary law if elected Governor.
General Ellerbe was introduced at :
o'clock and spoke briefly. The Marion
Swamp Fox said he regretted that he
had to bring tho people of Aiken bad
news. 1t was that Aiken would not
have the next Governor. Marion Coun.
ty would have that honor. daughter.
General Ellerbe said that Aiken's
Game Cock has lost some of his feather:
recently and has been fighting some
thing like dung hill. He told how he
had been blistering his Cousin John and
how John had not been blistering hin
in return, like Game Cock ought to-
! His humorous remarks about Evans
were greeted with laughter and some
| applause. What he said was in the
| best OF humOr and number of the
game cocks were heard to remark "l
| declare would vote for him il Evans
| was not running"
Ellerbe said that as Evans is going
| to carry so few counties he did not be
grudge him Aiken. 1t was right tha'
Aiken should vote for him. Ellerbe in
yited all the people to visit him in the
Executive Mansion at Columbia.
General Ellerbe was forced to another
| personal explanation to-day. He reat
an article from the Aiken Times head
cd " An Infamous Shame" This articl,
charged that the Conservatives tried
to induce the Reform Executive Com
mittee last week to call off the Reform
convention. 1t charged that Ellerbc
Tindal and Pope had endorsed this
scheme by signing petition to call tn,
convention Off. He had never signed
any such petition and he wanted tn,
editors OF the paper to tell where the,
got their information.

of papers friendly to Evans have beer
