more or less relevancy, until Uncle
George told them they had better go
back to Doko and sleep off their
drunk. Some of the crowd began to
howl and spit fire, and Uncle George
thundered at them: "Fhis is the first
time dispensary whiskey has been
used at the meetings in the interest
OF the political machine that is back
ing one of the candidates for Cover,

manners or take you around and ex-

for one of the candidates.

way one word was changed in Col.
Tillman's speech, making him favor

Col. Sohumpert also faced the
storm. After buffeting it for ten
minutes he said he hoped the decent
people there would eliminate the
trash. He prognosticated little,
saying that he was going to be Gov
ernor, and that Ellerbe would not be.
AT any rate he could guarantee that
he would sustain whoever was elected
better than the drunken howlers
would. - .@@. ...%s
Col. Watson nipped the first
howler in the bud by offering him q
silver dollar to shut up, He was
very emphatic in denying that he
had abused ElIorbe. What he said
was simple fact and truth, He
thought it was peculiar that Ellorbe
did not 60 to Horny. If it had been
himself he would have gone there TO-

frequently, he said he did not want
the votes of drunken howlers.
