Ben Tillmrn'S Talk at Ben
nettSYille.
Genuine Disponsary Harangue-
But Hoyt Will Carry the Tenn
pe"Nnce County.
Special to The State.

Bennettsville, July 1S-Since
the announcement that Senator
Tillman would be here today, all
political South Carolina has await
ed the result of the meeting. The
result is this: he did not touch
upon national issues in this, the
home of John l. McLaurin, who
was not here, but was here
last week. He jumped on county,
executive committees for limiting
the time of candidates, although
it was nearly b o'clock when he
himself began to speak, on account
of the long grind of speeches, and
finally he took up the dispensary
question. He jumped on all cons
tending factions, tacitly admitting
that the prohibition leader must
have some following and that the
dispensary satellites are not shin
ing bright enough for TiIIman.
He did not espouse the cause of
any candidate.
The meeting was attended by
over a thousand people, and they
came for miles to hear the discus
sion of live issues.
This is the home of w D Evans,
candidate for re election as raj
road commissioner, and of Knox
Livingston, candidate for lieuten
ant governor. Each was we'll re.
ceived and will carry the county
solidly.

NOW COMES TILLMAN.

Senator Tillman was greeted
with cheering. In two weeks
cit will be l5 years since the peo-
pie of Marlboro discovered Ben
rillman. He made his first
speech here in 1885. Their ap,
probation of his efforts then. had
much to do with shaping affairs in
South Carolina for the last 10
years. He had been at home
plodding along, reading papers
and books, and doing a devil of a
lot of thinking, not knowing that
he had the gift of CAB. There
must have been an occasion. The
time was ripe. He happened to
step forward when free speech
was sweet to the people. They
had always found him right where
he had said he would be.
(Cheers.) The State campaign
is one of the direct outgrowths of
the Reform movement. The
people can get some idea of the
fitness of the candidates. There
are lot of candidates for these
Offices but nobody wants to be
senator.
1t is an honor to have the al 4,
most unanimous endorsement for
place of trust. His old friends
are sticking to him and a host of
new ones are supporting him. He

Patterson-'I have a letter
from gentleman in Laurens say
ing that you are grinding out
lot of pardons.
McSweeney-"Oh, we'll, that's
from some fellow who's in sympa-
thy with you" (Applause.)
The governor continued that he
defed any man to show where a
single pardon had not been justi
fed. He had told his chief con-
stable in Charleston to enforce the
dispeusary law rigidly. The grand
Jury in Charleston, like the grand
jury in Barnwell, which wouldn't
believe Patterson in pr. hibition
days will not support the officials
in enforcing the dispensary law.
The governor read letters from
the mayors of Newberry, Chester,
Spartanburg, Saluda, Florence
and Laurens, commencing his en-
Nrcement Of the dispensary law.
He furnishes proof of his admins
tration-the others make promises.
McSweeney made a very favora-
BILE impression here.
THE LATE COL. WALT.
Col Walt Whitman came at the
eleventh hour, arriving from
Cheraw. His quaint wltticisms
kept the crowd laughing. The
Piedmont thinks it is time it is
getting some of the turkey it has
been pulling down.
COL. HoYT.
Col JAS A Hoyt is in accord
with Marlboro-a prohibitionist
as long as Marlboro has had pro-
hibition. This county has re-
sented any attempt to change.
Marion had been a prohibition
county, but a dispensary was es,
tablished there without the con.
sent of the people. Dillon had
tried to have the dispensary re-
moved and could not. 1t i'll be-
comes a candidate for governor
to go around the country abusing
papers for not supporting him.
Patterson hns been into Is coun.
ties and it is reflection upon him
that no paper has come to his sup
port. Col Hoyt could not repu-
diate or reject the support of
papers that oppose prohibition,
and yet they have taken him up
on his manhood. Gary pleads the
cause of the Confederate soldier.
No one would do more for them
than Hoyt, who was one of them.
There are large numbers of fami-
lies moving to town to educate
their children, leaving their lands
to tenants who do not know how
to maintain them. The common
schools should be built up to
maintain the agricultural interests
of the country and keep farmers
from running to town. Col
Hoyt was applauded.
NOW COMES TILLMAN.
Senator Tillman was greeted
with cheering. In two weeks
"it will be l5 years since the peo-
pie of Marlboro discovered Ben
Tillman. He made his first

tude of the responsibility. If he
has accomplished anything at
Washington it is because he felt
the consciousness of the support
of the people at home. He want
ed TO take the liberty to give the
people some advice. If he were
politician he would keep his
mouth shut. But as a leader he
must say something.
The State campaign is degener-
ating into something which is not
good on account Of the number of
candidates. There is necessarily
time limit. They get up here
and say their little speeches and
sit down. They cannot debate
and show their mettle. The peo
pie get half digested idea Of the
campaign. The people are get
ting back to a condition of stag
nation-the green scum is rising
over their heads. The people of
South Carolina are doing wrong
to gag the candidates.
The candidates are not saving
anything new or the newspapers
are not doing the square thing.
Is it important for half a dozen
men to discuss railroads? 1t is
better for two candidates to talk
one day and two the next if thew
talk their out and say something.
If they have any brains it will
show their mettIe. He was 90.
ing to take the liberty of looking
about the dispensary. Not be-
cause he wants to dictate, for the
people will not submit to dicta~
tation. National issues need no
discussion. He would not try to
bias their votes.
Regulating the sale of liquor
has been the cause of more
trouble than any other problem.
If the State has the right to
meddle with the sale of whiskey
at all it has the right to regulate
its sale. Whiskey is usually
drunk where bought other ar
ticles of commerce are taken home.
The history of former prohibition
contests in this State is that town
after town would go "dry," and
then would 60 "wet' at the fext
election. When town was dry
under prohibition, there was Just
as much drinking and no reve-
nue.. There were $4,000 votes
in 1892 and but 60, 900 votes on
the prohibition question and the
crude prohibition question won by
10, 900 votes. Childs introduced
an ironclad bill. The Legislature
is always skittish crowd. 1t
passed the Childs bill, He him>
self had taken this bill, had
knocked out some drastic features
and inserted the clauses which al
lowed the State to sell liquor
under dispensary regulations.
This was passed by the senate and
later by the house. 1t was an
issue in 1894 (and was adopted. J
He himself had kept the consti-
tutional convention from inserting Q
the law in the constitution, body
and breeches. 1t was settled in
1896 and again in 1898. How
many times must it be settled to
be settled! 2. The people must
quit voting for personal prefer
ences and settle this issue once and
for all.

man, but they polIed but Is, 900

PATTERSON NOT WELL.

Patterson was the next speaker.
He is not well-has been sick for
three days. This is the political
birthplace of Ben Tillman. There
is a powerful newspaper trust,
and McSweeney tried to get the
pull of the press. Patterson stated
he had stuck to the dispensary
through the scandal last fall. He
did not want to force the dispen-
sary on Marlboro, but prohibition
is but a sentiment here. In adj
dition to Charleston's tiger in
dustvy, he claimed there are over
200 in the city of Columbia. The
law cannot be absolutely enforced
in charleston, but he would do it
better than 1t is now or step down
from office. All through his
speech he took great pains to
show his reverence for Ben Till
man.
THE INCUMBENT.
Gov. McSweeney said that all
Patterson wants is TO fool the
people to put him into office.
Patterson looked all over the
vouchers in the comptroller gen,
erals office and could find nothing
against the administration but
warrants paying for a few news
papers. No man in South Caro-
lima is so ignorant as to think that
a newspapers support can be
bought for a dollar year. Every
governor had subscribed for pa
pers-some had even taken maga-
zines. He was chsered when he
