THE CAMPAIGNERS
In CHESTERFIELD.
Strait and Finley There.

/ nc State,
Cheraw, July 21.-There were
about 900 or 500 farmers at the
court house at Chesterfield today
to hear the candidates for state
offices. The candidates spent last
night at Cheraw, the railroad
station nearest to Chesterfield,
and mass meeting of citizens
was held in the opera house.
Gary, Patterson and Whitman
and other catd.dates made five
minute speeches. There is a
strong prohibition sentiment in
Chesterfield comfy and Col
Hoyi will pcII u large vote. Nc.

Barney Evans sailed into w. ID.
Evans very vigorously. Mayfeld
spoke as usual. Wharton was not
here.
The speeches for lieutenant
governor were about the same as
usual. Mr.. Derham was quite
unwell and remained at Cheraw.
MIR. Brooker was not in good
form either, today. McMahan re-
Joined the campaign today and
met his opponent, Capers. Capt.
Jennings was at the meeting, but
DR.. Zimmerman was not. Solici
tor johnson and his opponent,
Senator Brown, spoke.
For the first time in the cam.
paign national Issues were dis
cussed, and then but briefly.
Strait set the pace in the contest
for his old seat in congress, now
occupied by d.. f. Finley, and
the latter kept it up. Both advo
cate the Kansas City platform.
The race will be close. There
was nothing new in Patterson's
speech, except that Bennetts

keeps up the dispensary at
Cheraw.

his constables, his own appoin.
tees, TO prove his record. Pat
terson was very slightly applaud,
ed. McSweeney made a stronger
speech than usual and was very
well received. He is running on
his record, and if it is not credit
able he does not want to stand.
He declared that the mayor of
Charleston and the police are
trying to do their duty by the
dispensary. There was not much
enthusiasm in the meeting until
Patterson interrupted Col. Hoyt
in his speech. The colonel replies
spicily and the crowd cheered
him.
Col. Hoyt said Tillman had re.
buked McSweeney at Bennetts
vile. Tillman has the technical
right to meddle in this race, but
it is not eXpedient. Ben had come
into the campaign to single out
some candidate. Why not take

platform to suit Ben and "would

statesman combined"
Gary was received with ap-
plause. He and McSweeney re
ceived flowers. Gary made his
same speech, except to allude to
the Robinson bill, the local op
ton bill which Col. Hoyt had
charged him with not supporting.
He showed copy of the bill to
Col. Hoyt today and called his
attention TO the fact that it pro.
posed to abolish the State dispen-
sary, and for that reason he had
not supported it. lie had thought
that Col. Hoyt would have the
fairness to make this statement,
but he had not done him justice
to. do so.

WOULD BE RAYISHERS In
HANDS OF THE LAW.
The Two Negroes Who Attempt.
ed Outrage i'm Florence.

'NiD - IlC UNo
negroes who attempted rape
at the national cemetery on
Monday last are now in the
hands of the sheriff. The gov
ernor has ordered this officer to
protect the prisoners at all costs.
The citizens are incensed against
all the officers of the law for
cheating them out of vengeance.
The negroes were pursued re-
lentlessly for five days by men
fromFlorence Marion, Williams
burg and Horny. They were
captured this morning by ex-
Sheriff Wall Of Marion through
watching the sister of one of the
fugitives taking food to the
swamp.
The negroes made a desperate
fight for a time but one was
mortally wounded. They are
James Clark and John Livings-
ton. Sheriff Evans of Marion
took charge of the men after q
stiff resistance and notified Nc
Lendon of Florence. Sheriff
McLendon tried to keep the ar
rest quiet but it leaked out and
a large crowd attempted to GO
to Marion on special train but
the sheriff gave them the slip.
The crowd got a special train
and followed the sheriff's spe-
cial ten minutes later, accord
ing to railroad rules.
When the citizens arrived at
Marion they found the prisoners
in a car thoroughly guarded.
The crowd say the sheriff prom
ised to bring them back to the
Florence Jail and on such a
promise thoy returned peace
ably. A large crowd gathered
at the depot this afternoon, but
the sheriffs special did not
return.
Gov. McSweeney came down
from Chesterfield and addressed
the crowd from the Jacob house.
He said he believed Florence
would stand by law and order.
He pointed out the necessity
for defending the law and said
he would have the men brought
back here and jailed if the crowd
would assure them protection.
The crowd cheered.
State Senator Ilderton then
followed in speech which
aroused the fire in the crowd
and they yelled for the return
of the prisoners at Florence.
The Thomasville Guards came
up by the Governors orders
through Sheriff McLendon and
were greeted with boots. This
sentiment is believed to be that
of only a portion of the people
and many leading citizens felt
sure that the prisoners would
be safe here. Pressure was
brought to bear on Gov. Nc
Sweeney to return the Tim
mOnsville Guards on the eve
ming train but in face of the
demonstrations and speeches
declared that he could not do 1T
and that having been asked for
by the sheriff they would be
under that officers orders.
A telegram was sent to Sher-
iff McLendon at Marion to hold
the prisoners there for further
orders. 1t is thought that un-
less undoubted assurance Of pro-
lection are given by the Flor

Gladys and George were going
to spend the evening with the
Forsyths, Cousin Blanche said,
II am glad to see that stray
cats and dogs and lambs and
chickens are not the only crea-
lures you feel bound to be kind
to. There is a command in the
Bible that you will hear read
aloud IN the lesson in church
some day, which says, Love we
therefore the stranger Have
you not found that the Forsyths
are worth as much love as the
stray cat you were petting and
feeding the day after I came
here?"
Mildred looked a little
ashamed; then she said: But

Dressed up in his best go-to-meetin' s,

He went around pettin' the hosses,

Cousin Blanche. There is a

Nothing further was said at
this time; but some days later,
hearing that there was illness
in the forsyth family, Cousin
Blanche called, and found Mrs.
Forsyth very pleasant. There
