the "scrap" between Gen. Butler

as if a fight, or a quarrel of any
kind could be dignifed. A very
dignifed fight is not down on the

CAMPAIGN DAY AT RED HILL
ALL THE COUNTY CANDI-
DATES SPEAK.
EVERYTHING Was Lovely, and Only
One Small Scrap in the
Afternoon.
(Special to the ADvERTIsER.)


The Red Hill campaign meeting
is now numbered among the events
of past history. Friday, Aug. 9rd,
dawned bright and beautiful and
many of Choty's good citizens took
advantage of the promising out
look to tackle the strongholds OF
Gen. Green, consequently the
crowd was small, the largest per
cent. coming from a distance. A
goodly sprinkle of feminine faces
gave to the meeting a degree OF
refinement that is so absolutely
necessary to restrain the steruer
sex and keep them within bounds.
The candidates we're out in full
force and az jolly a crew as ever
assembled under the stately oaks
of Red Hill, and many were the
good humored jokes cracked at
each other, but to a close observer
it would appear that "scratch"
Whittle had the inside track as q
iokest. The Parksville brass band
was on hand and enlivened the day
with their martial strains of music.
PHI. Bussey, as master of the
dav invited all to seats in the large
academy building, and proceeded
at once to business.

7. VIM. THURMoND, ESQ.

]. VIM. THURMOND, ESQ.
Next came J. VIM. Thurmond, a
handsome Reform lawyer, who
hailed from this side of the county.
Mr.. .Thurmond's speech was d splen-
did effort, but had a national
t,nge and just censures of high and
mighty ones. He too favors con-
stitutional convention, a county
chain gang, the dispensary, and an
educational qualifcation-that
practically allows every white man
to vote, but excludes Cufee-and
if the county must be cut give to
Saluda what she asks.
L. ]. WILLIAMS.
l.. J. Williams being 80 near
home promised to give most OF his
to his fellow candidates, but took
up his allotted time in stating his
position. He will devote his best
efforts to better the condition of
the free schools, wants a constltu-
tional convention, opposes county
division under existing circum-
stances.
THE LORD HIGH SHERIFF.
Dinner was announced. The high
Sheriff was on hand, and the can
didates felt a return of confidence
and were no longer afraid Of the
huge carcasses, with Bill QUITS
near by and the handsome junior
editor of the Monitor to watch for
the first sign of danger. However,
all did justice to the inner man
and many basketfuls were lett.
Much credit is due Messrc. denry
Bussey and Arthur Morgan for
their excellently cooked meats.
S. NC. sIMKINs.
A short time spent in hand-shak-
ing and other pleasantries, then
the crowd re-assembled in the
academy. Mr.. simkins was intro
duced. Nc. is lone sentinel on
the watch tower, is small in stature,
but brave and honest in his con-
victions, and Edgefeld's welfare
would be safely guarded by him
should he be honorcd with her suf-
frage. Mes eloquence and strong
voice soon brought in all the tardy
ones. His speech differed from
the other speakers, as he opposes a
constitutional convention and is
for Butler for the United States
Senate. It is regretted that his
time was exhausted before COM
pleting his speech.
B. L. cAUGHMAN.
B. L. Caughman came next. He
is a son of the Saluda side and
naturally wanted county, still he
is willing to wait until a constltu-
tional convention can be had and
q symmetrical division of all the
counties made.
IN CONCLUSION.
We must pass on as time will for
bid to dwell upon the utteranees
of each. T. is sufficient to know
that S. T. Williams, S. E. Freeland,
J. H. Edwards, and A. J. Coleman,
each made straighout Reform
speech, and measure fully up to
the Alliance demands and the Re
form yard stick. Each and every
speaker with the exception OF 3.

After simply announcing the or
der of the day, he introduced the
handsomest candidate in the lot,
Thos. H. Rainsford, whose speech
was decidedly good, of the Reform
nature, but filled with no bitter
ness. He favored constitutional
convention, abolishing the probate
judge and masters court and sub
stituting a county judge, salarled'
and no fees for settling estates,
and a county chain gang. Opposes
the division Of the county under
existing circumstances. Will not
pull down the higher institutions,

the common schools to higher

This estimate exceeds that of the

ever, includes all indebtedness against

officers.
There is no over 100000, 900 Of
