was received quietly, after the
others had been speaking for six
hours. He said that constant
absence made him almost o strang-
er in this county and the new faces
were too numerous for him to know
them. He then took up the
necessity Of the campaign meet
ings. He said that Col Hoyt had
advised him not to say something,
as it got him in hot water, but he
was born in hot water, and twenty
five times he had repeated the
very words which had made so
many rear up and paw about.
He reiterated his unholy al
lance" story and said he would
fight it to the end. He bet the
Methodist Church would take him
in to help pay the preachers. TheD
he made quotations from the Bible
Which were laughed at as if they
were Jokes. He replied to d.
Gardner and the Rev Mr. Richard
son, and gave his reasons for doing
his duty to the people. He said
that the dispensary law only
ueeded the support of all decent
people to make it the best law
ever devised. "Edgefield," he
said, "had tried Prohibition, and
what did you have but seven drug
stores with doctors standing in the
doors with pencil and table and
every one with belly ache, and
more drinking than ever before,
and the town anxious town anxious
to stop it's dry regime?" He met
ministers every day who told
him Prohibition was dream, and
they we're behind him and the dis

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON
ON THE STAND.
This Time it Was Not a Fight,
But Only a Remarkable
Display of Wound
ed Feelings.

ed Feelings.
Edgefeld, Aug. 16-There was
another scene to-day in this great
educational campaign-more prop
erly circus farce. The campaign
ers were on historic ground and
to-day the meeting was held on the
public square, where scenes have
occurred heretofore that have re-
suited in repeated funerals. There
was no actual fight to-day, but the
participants, no doubt, felt very
much like it, and would, no doubt,
now feel very much better had
they been allowed to clinch each
other and scrap it out.
n For daye and days the question
has been VIII .ther Derham and
Brooker have fought it out. They
have not yet done 80, but they
talked it out to-day and the un-
qualified "lie' was passed. There
was q little tempest al d everyone
thought there would have to be an
encounter, but there was not.
Everyone who has been reading
the accounts know that there has
been friction between Mr. Derham
and: Mr. 2 Prooker, and that they
have: been, fguratively {,
throwing rocks at each other. Mr.
Derham insists that Brooker start
sed the mud-slinging by dragging
his father and his reputation into
the contest, and Mr. Brooker claims
that Mr. Derham started the racket
by publishing card, in which he
spoke Of Brooker "pocketing sink
ing funds and overdrawing his
accounts" So they have been go
ing from stump to stump. At q
previous meeting they assumed q
fighting posture and to-day it took
half q dozen men on the stand to
prevent 8 fist fight.
Yesterday, at Aiken, Mr. Brooker
said he would no longer indulge in
personalities and call things quits.
he had nothing to apologize for,
but regretted having said anything
.uncalled for, but would not admit
saying unfounded.
After the Aiken meeting Mr. Der
ham was handed a circular letter,
which he supposed had been given
general circulation. Mr. Derham
was the first speaker, AMI when he
got up he was trembling all over
and he had the offending circular
folded in his hand. Mr. Derham
began his speech by telling where
he was born, how he was elected
county superintendent, State Sen
ator, member of the Constitutional
Convention, and to other places
continuously since 1888. This was
to show the confidence of his peo-
pie in him, and then he related
the story of his father being one
armed man and coming here from
Ireland and turning over his funds
to Hampton, but said that he was
not responsible for his father. For
himself he had always been q dem
ocrat. Then opening the folded
circular, he said Mr. Brooker had
promised not to indulge in person
salties, yet here was a circular that
had been handed him. In the cor
ner of the circular was the Masonic
emblem, by what authority he did
not know. He did not care to read
the whole circular, as he was too
much wrought up, but just wanted
TO read this one paragraph, and
then read the following from the
circular:
