filed while Sheriff Sullivan was in
office by some prisoners who had es-

done, as the two men who escaped
Monday night simply had to pry the
bars back, which loosened them up,
and then with the aid Of the blan-

made their escape to the ground and
without arousing anyone got away.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Up to about one week ago We never
had bright prospects of a fine crop
but the recent hot days have greatly
reduced it, and farmers and mer-
chants alike are wearing long faces.
Very poor crops have been made !for
two or three years past and most of
our farmers seem to be q year behind
Most of the stores have let out goods
to the extent of their ability, and
failure this year evidently means
great hurt to both farmers and
merchants.

LEXINGTON'S
CAMPAIGN DAY.

V&AAIA& &A4 W &V ~&& d
Lexington Estate Campaign day"
for 1902, is now a thing of the past.
The candidates came they saw and
they conquered. As whole they
were nice and jovial set of men,
who depended more upon their fit
ness for the position to which they
aspired as a recommendation into
the good graces of the voter rather
than an appeal to factional passions
and prejudices, which have been the
characteristics of every political
gathering in the last decade. 1t re-
sembled somewhat an old time
Methodist camp meeting, at the mo-
ment when estrangd brethren healed
their differences and became recon-
ciled to see those who short while
ago were at variance one with the
other, meeting each other on the
most friendly footing at and on the
most amicable terms. Another marked
improvement over the customs of
previous meetings, was the notice
able absence of the use of whisky as
means of making votes and as q
consequence there was little or no
drunkenness observable and a quiet
and orderly meeting was the result.
The candidates sang their little song
into the ears of the dear people in
their own peculiar way. The only
regret connected with the occasion
was the necessary curtailment of the
time allotted to eaah speaker. It was
impossible for the speaker to warm
up" to his subject and define his po-
sition with any degree of satisfaction
to himself or his hearers in the five
minutes given him to do so, but all
did the best they could under the
circumstances. Never before perhaps
was there such an unanimity OF
opinion among so many candidates
upon political matters as there was
on this occasion, but really there
was no issues to discuss. Even Col.
Talbert forgot or neglected to even
refer to "Progressive Democracy" in
any way whatever, which was an ex-
hibition Of political diplomacy sell
dom equalled and never surpassed.
On the whole it was an ideal meeting,
if such an expression is permissible
in reference to politics. Some of the
candidates who were not present at
the meeting held at Saluda Court
House came over from Columbia on
the midnight train and put in some
very effective work during the morn
ing hours.
After long and tedious wait for
the train scheduled to arrive little
after 10 o'clock, the itenerant party
of campaigners turned up tired, hun
cry and dusty about the dinner
hour and the meeting was immedi-
ately called to order by acting chair
man, G. NJ. Efrd, who without any
preliminary remarks with the ex-
ception of the single announcement
that owing to the lateness of the
hour the time would necessarially
have to be limited to five minutes tc
each candidate with the exception o1
! those for the GoVernorship, who
would be given fifteen minutes ir
which to tell the dear people theil
peculiar fitness to discharge the
duties of the Office to which they
aspired.
The first part of the meeting wa
held in the court house, which has (
seating capacity of about five hun
| dred and the room was filed to over
flowing with men, women and chill
dren, who gave the candidates tn

of numbers and the most orderly in
behavior of any held so far during
this campaign.
A committe of citizens met the
candidates at the train and escorted
them to comfortable homes which had
been assigned them where they
could battle and refresh themselves
before the battle of words began.
Mr.. Martin, candidate for Superin-
tendent of Education was the first
candidate to address the audience.
He covered much ground in his five
minutes talk and charged the State
Board, of which Mr.. McMahan was
a prominent and Influential member
with having entailed a hardship upon
the parents of scholars of the public
schools in the matter of the adoption
of the text books.
He was followed by Superintend-
ent McMahan in a defense of the
Board and explained his position with
reference thereto.
The candidates for Comptroller
General were next heard and Mr.. n.
". Brooker, made his bow. He
claimed Lexington as being his native
county. The five brothers responded
to the call of their country, and went
to the front, three of whom never re-
turned having yielded their young
lives a sacrifice on their countrys
altar. He was satisfied that there
was gross Irregularities in the admin
istration of this Office and he had ex-
posed them and would continue to do
so until they were corrected. he
praised the Confederate soldier for
his endurance and patriotism during
the war and his pluck and perseVer-
ance since in his efforts to rebuild his
fallen fortunes.
He was followed in very effective
and convincing remarks from Hon.
W. H. Sharpe, who declared that he
had left his competitors behind in me
race for this Office and invited the
boys over to see him at his Office when
they visited Columbia. He said that
Mr.. BROKER pretended to be such
friend to the Confederate soldier and
yet at the same time he went over the
State advocating the building of
home in which these worthy heroes
must spend their last days as paupers
in the poor house. He claimed to
be the first Lexingtonian who had
ever canvassed the State seeking the
suffrage of the people for a public
Office.
Messrs. Jones and Walker, both of
whom hold clerical positions in this
office, made interesting business talks
in which they sought to impress the
people with their fitness to perform
the intricate duties of this exacting
Office. They claimed that while it
was but natural that MIR. Sharpe
would get the larger portion of Lex
ington's vote they denied the claim
that he would get them all.
Mr.. Jennings, our State Treasurer,
having no opposition for reelection
was given one minute in which to let
the people see what he looked like.
He thanked the people for the sup
port they had given him two years
ago.
The candidates for the military
department then had their inning
and Col. Frost of Richland, candidate
for Adiudant and Inspector General
was introduced. He told of his boyish
love for military life and his early am
bition to graduate captain of his class
He entered the Citadel Academy,
and by close application to his books
and SOLITARY duties succeeded in
reaching the goal of his boyhood
dream. He was the first person con-

this State when the American.Span-
ish war broke out. Has had expert
ence in the Office, and if elected
would do his utmost to improve this
arm of the public service.
Candidate Patrick, then gave the
military salute and gave very inter-
esting five minutes talk, in which be
told in a concise manner his expert
ences in military affairs and his pc
culiar fitness for the Office of Adju-
tant and Inspector General. He like
his predecessor, made a very favor
able impression.
Col. Boyd, who is also seeking the
Office of Adjutant and Inspector Gen.
eral then addressed the voters and
his straightforward talk took we'll
with his hearers and his SOLITARY
bearing and past record, made him
friends.
The candidates for Railroad Com
missioner were then given an oppor-
tunity to sing their little song and
Col. W. Boyd Evans, presented his
claims in clear and earnest manner,
giving eogent reasons why he should
receive the support of his fellow citi-
zens. He made vigorous attack on
rates and showed how they discrim-
mated against the commercial inter-
ests of South Carolina towns in favor
of thooe of other states.
Candidate Jepson then took hold
of the throttle and turned on the
steam. He is an experienced railroad
man and practical engineer therefore
fully competent to give exact justice
to the railroads and to the people.
Mr.. Kinard was then given an op-
portunity to tell the people what he
proposed to do in case be was elected
Railroad Commissioner. The planks
in his platform were sound.
Candidate Mobley said he wanted
to be the Railroad Commissioner and
believed that he possessed all the
necessary qualities to make a good
and efficient one.
The present encumbent, MIR. Will
born, was seeking reelection. He
gave an account of bis stewardship
and claimed that he had saved the
producers of cotton and other com.
modities large sums of money by the
reduction of freight rates.
MIR. Wolling gave bis ideas how
the railroads should be controlled,
he made a fine speech, which was
we'll received.
The burden of the song of Mr..
"Cansler of Tirzah,' was the denun-
citation of officers who used free rail-
road passes. He received the flowers
and applause.
Mr.. B. L. Csughman was the last
candidate for this Office to speak. he
told of the hard fight he had to have
passed the Jim Crow car law, and
asserted that he was offered lu-
crative position if he would desist but
he was true to his conviction and
his people and would remain 80 in
whatever position he might occupy.
At the conclusion Of this speech,
the chairman announced that as
there was large number of voters
on the outside of the building who
desired to hear the speaking but were
unable to do 80 or account of lack of
room, the meeting would be adjourn
ed to the shade under the trees in
front of the Kaminer Hotel.
Col. Talbert was the first speaker
among candidates for Office Of COVER
nor. Time today was only Is
minutes, and Col. Talbert at once ad-
dressed himself to the issues as pre-
viously discussed. While be was
speaking of the Gispensary voice
