THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

The county campaign continues to
progress smoothly In accordance with
the programme and without develop
ing especial interest, except as to the
attitude Of some of the candidates on
the dispensary question.
The Fort Mill meeting last Friday
was held in the Confederate Park, and
except for Mr.. w. H. Stewart, would
have passed off very smoothly. Mr.
Stewart, however, made determined
effort to disconcert all Of the ant-dis-
pensary candidates, and devoted him
self particularly to DR.. Saye.
During his discussion Of the dispen-
sary question, DR.. Saye referred to the
state machine as being In the nature
of big trust, maintained in restraint
of trade, and Mr.. Stewart wanted To
know of Dr. Saye whether in his opin-
ion the action of the York county
medical association with reference To
examination fees in the case Of appli-
cants for insurance was not also In
the same line. DR.. Saye replied that
the Old Line insurance companies mad
formed a trust for the purpose OF com
pelling the reduction Of the fees; that
the fees charged were not excessive
and 1t was necessary for the members
of the medical association to stand to-
gether for the purpose OF defending
themselves. He was not present when
the medical association took action;
but It's action has his endorsement. He
did not think the two cases at all SIM
liar.
Our correspondent at that place gives
a full and comprehensive account OF
the meeting at Rock Hill.
Althoujyh there was quite large
number of visitors in Glover during
the time that the county campaign
meeting was being held in the High
School building on Monday, hardly
more than seventy-five persons In ad-
dition to the candidates were present.
at any one time. The meeting was
presided over by Capt. w. b. smith
with his characteristic fairness and
impartiality, thus guaranteeing every
candidate full opportunity to state MS
position on every question. Aside
from a few words from Messrs Shurley
and McMackin relative to their candi-
dacy for county superintendent or edu-
cation, no other candidates except the
legislative, spoke. All the candidates
for the house of representatives were
present and each made practically the
same speech as he has at previous
meetings The same set Of questions
as submitted at Rock Hill on Saturday
were submitted at Glover and the re-
plies of all were practically the same
as at Rock Hill, except that all four OF
the conference candidates, Messrs'
Epps, Glasscock, Neil and Slaughter,
stated unequivocally that they were
opposed to repeating the Brice law, OPP
posed to re-opening dispensaries In
any of the counties from which they
had been excluded under the law unless
done according to the provisions OF
that law, and were unconditionally In
favor Of local government. Eacn
of the candidates named stated that
they were opposed to doing away with
the state dispensary, and on this point
alone they differed materially from the
positions Of the other five candidates.
The homes of the people of Glover
were thrown open to the candidates ana
each one was assigned to some citl-
zen at the dinner hour, the assignments
being announced from the rostum oy
the chairman.
Today's meeting was held at Betha-
ny, and tomorrow the candidates Will
he at Hickory Grove.
