was not overwhelmingly elected. Judge

election, and had quit the field. gone TO the
mountains, 81 nd was patiently waiting to see
from the newspapers how far he had been

AS the election returns came in he began to

a factor in the election, put possibility for

Meeting of the Faithful.

1t is rumored on the streets that last
Saturday the friends OF the Hon. John
Gary Evans had meeting in Columbia to
devise ways and means TO secure his election
at the primary on next Tuesday 10 the
Senate OF the United States. The doors were
closed. The situation was deemed perilous
and 1t was feared that the wisdom OF those
present was not sufficient 10 ensure the defeat
Of Judge Earle.
And so it was these friends dispersed, and
went out into the highways with closed lips
and open ears. Friends were consulted on
the streets and kilograms went flying to the
remotest bounds of the State, calling for
their presence in the capital.
When the accumulated wisdom Of the Re-
form party had assembled it was resolved
to run the shank OF the campaign by dodgers,
that is to say. by printed handhills, which
should be distributed where they would do
the most good.
The handful, it is fair to presume will al
ford interesting reading. as its author Is sup
posed to be no less parsonage than the Hon.
Il. X. Tillman, whose ability and readiness in
filnging forceful and pointed English is
doubted by none.
