weakling, retaliated by striking his
assailant on the head with an umbrel.
la. Friends and bystanders intes'
fered at this juncture and separated
the cOmbatants.
All the candidates for the United
States senate were here and all had
spoken except Latimer. 1t was near
the hour for dinner, and the crowd
was dispensing to gather again in the
afternoon when Latimer called to the
crowd that he wished them to hear
him repel the attacks Of the five law
yers who had been jumping on him, as
the afternoon was to be given to the
candidates for congress.
Hemphill protested against the as
sertion and added that Latimer
should not infringe on the time Of
congressional candidates. AT this
Latimer declared that Hemphill cared
nothing for the congressman.
"You know that is false!" cried
Hemphill, facing Latimer.
Latimer landed a terrible blow on
Hemphill's face. Hemphill struck out,
but was pulled back from behind. He
then swung an umbrella over Lati-
mers head. The crowd then rushed
in. and Latimer was pinioned from
behind and Hemphill was dragged to
the floor
AS each appears to be satisfied with
the punishment inflicted and as their
honor and courage have been vindicat-
ed, the incident is supposed to be
closed
Cherokee county seems to be nat

he was a liar, a drunkard, a black
guard and a gambler,
In the afternoon the candidates for
congress were heard and no further
trouble was preciDitated, although the
contest is becoming exceedingly warm,
especially in the race for United States
senate.

HENDsONYILLE, s. C.. 81

HENDSONNILLE, ,. u, sept. z, 1870
Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SrR:-Some years ago operated float
ing w-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malalial
influences. I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
ber there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic and ] determined to give the
medicine trial ! procured it, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnsons Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r, LASSITER.
