death was no surprise as hope

grand children survive him. He
was one of thirteen brothers and
sisters and his family connec-

thing and the North producing
nothing.
George Johnstone was the
next speaker introduced. He
said that you cannot legislate
property into a country, but
you may legislate it out. A di-
rect question to Mr. Rhett elic-
tied the reply that he was in
favor of tariff for revenue only,
but favored protection for home
products. He thought if Mr.
Smith was doing so much for
the country he should remain
where he was. His speech was

Col Lumpkin was introduced
and made a fine hit by replying
to some of the jokes told on
him He spoke of our great
country and paid a high CON-
pliment to Southern woman
hood. He then spoke of his
prohibition platform and was
heartily applauded.

drainage and immigration, and
said he thoughtLumpkin should
be in the State Legislature.

and rested his claim for support
on the record he has already
made, affirming that no man
could do much during the first
few years. He claims that he
has three times changed the
vote of Congress and has put
$4,000 year into the rural
mail service.
PA Hodges favors appropri-
ations fer the openings of water
and railways and experimental
farms. He does not think Mr.
Ellerbe's plea for a long term is
sound.

vigorous speech Including a lit

resting his claims for support
on facts that he will be brought

GOOD SPEECHES MADE and GOOD
FEELING PREVAILED.

For more than three hours

men and solicitors addressed
the voters of Williamsburg last
Monday. There were twelve
candidates to speak and the
time allowed was twenty min
utes for the Senators and If
teen for the lesser lights.
Among the former the best OF
feeling seemed to prevail and,as
one candidate remarked, it was
the clash of minds differing in
their conception of their coun-
try's needs.
RG Rhett was the first speak
er. His reference to the heroes
of 100 years ago and their des-
cendants who battled for their
country in the War of Secession
and later on did valiant service
in the Red Skirt ranks in rs,
evoked much applause. Mr.
Rhett based his claim for con-
fidence on his record as mayor
6of Charleston. And also for
his fight against railroad dis
elimination and the results of the
demands he made for better ser.
vice. He spoke OF the fine pros
poets Democracy has for VIC
tory under Bryan and favored
legislation broad enough for
all the people. He said that
the present currency system
was against the South as it
causes $l1O to be sent out for
every $1oO brought in. His
speech was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause.
ED Smith was next introduc-
ed and was received with pro-
longed applause. He plunged
at once into his subject by char
acterizing as folly the"tine spun
theories of tariff and currency
legislation. Our only hope was
to demand our own price for
what the world hasn't got and
must have,he said. His speech
was several times interpersed
with applause, and the closing
lremark that he expected to wit
mess the killing out of the
Southern boil weevil and the
complete determination of the
Northern bear was heartily ap-
plauded.
John Gary Evans was then
presented and said he would
not indulge in eloquence about
Iformer times. He wished to in
list the heroes of the present.

UNCLE SAM LOOKS
FOR 800 DEsERTERS

Judging from the number of photo
graphs and descriptions of deserters
from the army received by the U 5.
Marshal during the past two months
it would appear that Uncle Sam is
losing his brave defenders at rate
sufficient to leave Only the officers at
about the end of two years. Since the
first of October, Marshal Hendry has
been notified of the desertion of four
hundred and ninety-two of the boys IN
blue. for the return of each of whom
the government has fifty dollars wait
ing for the one who gets him. The
facts are not as bad as they seem,
however, and the government has no
idea that all or any of these five hun
dred oath jumpers are to be found in
Hawaii
The law at present in force against
army assertions was passed in 1895, but
it has never been put into general effect
until the present time. Desertion has
always been a punishable offense, Of
course, but never before has the War
Department taken such wholesale step
towards hunting down deserters as dur
ing the past two months, flooding the

Marshal Hendry is of the opinion that
this is being done now because of pend
ing legislation on the army, probably
a new enlistment law raising the
strength of the army. Before such q
law comes into operation, he thinks, the
government wants to clean up the dead
wood in the present army.
