VERY TAME MEETING
lrby And Evans Speak In Mari
boro The County is Solid for
McLaurin.

Bennettsville, S. G. Aug. 49,
The campaign speaking took place
today IN the Masonic park. Col
onel 1rby and John Evans were
the only candidates present. 1t
was evident from the beginning
that it was neither an lrby nor
Evans crowd. The meeting was
opened with prayer by Rev j l.
Stokes and the speakers were in
troduced by Chairman w D
Evans.
Governor Evans, the first can
Gidate introduced, began his speech
by complimenting the people of
Marlboro and the pleasure it at-
forded him to once more meet
with them, and casually referred
to the story told by Colonel Irby
about being his political daddy.
He then went into Il lengthy argu-
ment endeavOring to show the
fallacy of Senator McLaurin' S
tariff views, but signally failed to
do so.
Col lrby was next introduced
and began by referring to his and
Evans's relationship politically, as
father and son. Irhy received a
round of applause when he said
he would not attack his foe in his
absence or assail an opponent in
his bed, referring to Senator Nc
Laurin.
The speakers both made fairly
good speeches, but did not receive
much applause. The crowd was
smaller than expected and was or
derl y and well behaved. The
speeches were about on an aver
age with those made at previous
meeting of the campaign.
Marlboro is solid for McLau-
rim. Senator McLaurin, thought
to be slowly improving.
