IL by letters from mayors.
Charleston is a seaport and it is
difficult to enforce the law there.
He had done his best to enforce
the law there, but he had done as
we'll there as anyone else. He
saved the State $4,000 in cons
stables salaries. He did this as
a business matter. Some of these
candidates tell you what they
would do with the dispensers.
He asked all to view the attitude
of the people towards the con
stables. He wanted to say ref
erence was made that constables
we're bowling for him. They
were not hore by his orders. He
did not c0untenance their being
here. They have no business
here, unless they have work here.
lie was going to investigate the
matter and if any constabIes have
been attending meetings for poli-
tlcal purposes they certainly
would be removed and thew. GER
tainly would not be paid for be-
ing hero. He knew the constables
were not here in his interests.
They were free men and any con-
stable could vote for whoever he
pleased, but they must attend to
their business.
lie read letter from the
mayor of New berry in which he
said: "Thero is no violation of
the dispensary law here" Siml-
lar letters were read from the
mayors of Spartanburg, SaIuda,
Chester, etc. They agreed that
the sale of liquor has decreased.
All constables had instructions to
do their duty and if they do not
he would remove them.
He thought Bryan would be
elected and showed why.
GOV McSweeney then gave an
account Of his public services.
MIR Patterson used to sing about
his taking newspapers, but he
wanted it understood that he ran
his Office as Il business affair. He
did not straddle on the dispensary
in his message.
Then he took up educational
matters and wanted them educated
at home. He wanted to be
Judged by his administration and
re. elected.

EDITOR AND MANAGER.
SATURDAY JULY %, 1900.

We give much of our space to-
dav to the sermon of Rev G. S
Gardner, pastor of the first Bsp-
tist church Of Greenville. 1t Is
an argument for prohibition that
cannot be assaiIed. Every Chris
tian man should occupy the posi-
tion which DR. Gardner takes.
The prohibitionist from christian
principles can occupy no other.

THE LANCASTER CAMPAIGN
MEETING

The candidates for State offices
spoke at Lancaster last Wednes
day. There were about 600

ment the audience for it's excellent
behavior and undivided attention.
They had seen no such order or had
had no such respectful attention at
any meeting in the State.
The meeting WAS presided over
by Messrs. w q A Porter and w

Mr.. Brooker, candidate for
comptroller general, spoke first.
His opponent, Mr.. Derham, was

in his family.

MES were not worth cent,
BIB Evans said 1t would be well
to look at the records in w d
Evans county.
w d Evans went on to say when
he ran for the constitutional con-
vention there was intense opposi>
tion to him and q warrant was
sworn out against him for fast
driving through the streets and
drunkenness. He insisted on be-
ing tried and was acquitted.
BIB Evans-Oh, that's not it.

out of SIS, 600 and a judgment is
recorded against yoI.
Chairman-Time' up.
w d Evans-Let me explain.
| b B Evans-That is personal
matter and he attacked me. Make
him sit down.
The chairman then without
ado presented Mr. Capers and w
ID Evans went to his chair saying:
"I pa!d that claim, every cent and
am poor too.
We had intended giving fuller
account of the speeches hut our
space is too limited. The sermon
of DR. Gardner is much better
reading, and far more elevating,
and hence we have given you it
instead.
Then came the candidates for
Governor. The State makes the
TO low'ngreport of their speeches:
@ Walt Whitman insisted that
from what others saw the various
departments are in bad shape and
he wanted to remedy things. DIS
regard of law in South Carolina
was amazing and disgracefuI, not
only as to the dispensary law but
everything else if these speakers
are to be believed. The best men
at times, he feared, took Just lit
tie too much liquor. A little drunk
enness does not affect a man as
much as telling a lie. God never
made misfit and there is use for
liquor. The Bible does not con-
denim any one for getting drunk.
be went to Charleston to make
investigation and found blind
tigers on King street, and Meet
ing street, and the Battery, and
Cooper river and Ashley river,
and then to the Isle of Palms. He
went Gin bathing on Sunday and
found them selling beer on that
day. He believed every dispen>
ser was today violating the law.
The tigers sell more liquor than
the diSpenssries. They ~ere once
blind, but the tigers have catar-
acts or the constables are stone
blind. He would enforce anv
law on the books.
Col j A Hoyt said Mr.. Whit
man had stood on every platform
that has ever been erected. The
people of Lancaster were already
converted to prohibition. The
dispensary is put forward as the
best solution of the liquor problem.
1t is a system adapted to a mon
archy, but it is not for America.
The cornerstone of Democracy
Is that whatever comes to the poo
pie should come from them, and
he explained how this was not the
case. He explained how dlspen-
saries have been forced on the
people. The dispensary has it's
good features, if they were en-
forced, but they are not enforced,
and the good features are tram
pied in the dust.

Hoyt by tho "Women of Lam
caster.'
Mr.. Frank B Gary thought the
flowers apt for Col Hoyt's polite
al funeral. He was not here to
vlllify or abuse anyone. He
argued that no better plan than
the dispen ssry was yet proposed.
He knew this to be a prohibition
county but he would not change his
views. All ale marching to tenn
perance. Prohibition will bring
tigers. He was no apologist for
the dispensary as now run. 1t is
not system for revenue. He was
reliably informed there are 200
tigers in Colum ola.
A constable who said he had
worked Columbia said there we're
not 100 tigers there. He asked
why this constable was not at work;
but he no doubt was hero by in
strnction to root for "Little
Mack" "
If elected, Gary said he would
enforce the law in Charleston and
Columbia. For three months be-
fore we got hold of him tho con-
stables seized only 81, 900 worth
of liquor, and yet last month alone
they seized that much. The law
needs no such lash or stimulus.
He know nothing about "tigers. "
He SAID several Sundays ago he
was taken for TillmaH on the isle
of Palms and the visitors could
not get Sunday drinks. The CO..
lumbia coterie is getting power
fully scared to get him out of the
race. He was one of the best
friends of the dispensary, but it
has broken from its moorings.
Prohibition will not bring about
temperance because of the ex-
perience of others.
His position has been published
everywhere and known. Patterson
sees he is being dlstanced and has
to do something. He said it could
be proven by the same paper that
said he shifted positions in Char
lesion, that Col Robt Aldrich
wrote his speech, but be did not
believe that.
There was no unwritten law
that lieutenant governor should
succeed himself.
He spoke of Pension laws and
how he would continue to be fair
to all as governor as he had A.
speaker.
Mr. A Howard Pate rson said
the people, and not the papers,
were the jury. If Gary stood no
better chance than Bryan he was
sorry for Gary but he favored
Bryan. He stuck to Gary and
his family all along and has gone
down with tho family. He an
nounced himself before Gary and
had a right to run. He then read
from the report of Gary's Char
lesion speech and emphasized that
MIR Gary would not answer his
questions in Charleston. He de-
voted time to Mr. Gary and said if
you have lc cal option it will be
goodbye to dlspensary. Voice
"Let her rip
He then took up the dlspensary
and defended it, and urged it's
advantages over prohibition.
There was not q blind tiger in
Barnwell, and he showed how
crime and drunkenness have de-
creased. He took up the pro-
hibition platform and defended
the dispensary as a system. Is
