Marlboro county? He was loudly ap-
plauded.
Col. Livingston said if he had never
enjoyed the confidence Of Marlboro he
would not have the face to aspire to
such a high and honorable place as
that of lieutenant governor. He did
net think the liquor question would De

TIE BERKELEY MEETING.
The campaign meeting Thursday was
held in the court house at Monck' IS Cor
ner. The court house was crowded, a
number Of ladies being present, also
some babies. There was slight applause
when McSweeney was presented. He
had been called to Columbia and was
permitted to speak first so that he could
catch the train. He said that : ex-
pected his record to be attacked on
fimsy charges and he urged the crowd
