MR.. A. C. JONES.
of Newberry now, but raised in
Union county, was glad to be
again among the sturdy de-
mocracy of Union county, and to
revel in sacred memories. He
spoke forcefully in favor of immi-
grafton, good schools and good
roads, paying incidentally a trib-
ute to the Confederate soldiers
and referring to his own record
in '76. He claims to be the in
stigator of the movement which
resulted in the Brice law, and
that he is the only original pro-
hibitionist in the race. He says
Mr.: Bruson is mo good and a
traitor to Democracy" that he
can't get the dispensary out of
his own county, Sumter. "The
dispensary law" he said, sis
the most iniquitous law ever
forced on a free people," He
has never voted for the dispen-
sary, does not stand for high
license, but endorses the Brice
act. Mr.. Jones makes things
and himself warm when he
speaks.
MR.. R. 1. MANNING,
of Sumter, next Entertained the

of the farmers cotton ware.
house. He is in favor of good
roads, education. He favors

poses county dispensaries; says
the issue is state dispensary OF
prohibition. Of course if pro-
hibition is wanted he will en-
force that law. He stands for
the Observation-Disclosures bill,
which provides restrictions for a

speaker, never loses his temper,
and pleases the crowd.
