Columbia was depopulated. It wa
like a Sunday holiday From nearl
every business house the proprietor
and all the clerks who could be spal

faithful guard left to keep open tn
doors and to watch for fires. At man,

that the imperial county of the blue

Get Early start
Early this morning a big crowd had
gathered at the depot, some of them
having come in the night before They
boarded the early train, fearing they
would be unable to crowd onto the
special. In this delegation, which
packed five cars, were about fifty per-
sons from Marshall county, who had
spent the night here, and several hun
bred from down the roads. Fifty Co
lumbians boarded this early train.
But it was at $3.50 that the major
lity of the delegates left. When the
train pulled in from Giles county it
contained two coaches of enthusiastic
Democrats, Nashville bound Anoth-
er coach was dropped off from the
Lewisburg train, and was filed with
doughty Marshall CONTAINS, every
|one of whom wore silk badges on
which were inscribed tHiggins." They
were going along to root for the pop
ular judge, their neighbor, one of
those so fortunate as to incur the
disfavor of the "circle of sovereign.

Around the depot there was a
seething mass of humanity. Strong
men fought and scrambled in their |
mad rush to board the special, COM
pietely filling three special coaches |
and the four regular coaches. The
train, when it pulled out, contained 10 /
coaches, three specials from Column
bia, two specials from Giles county, Il
one special from Marshall county and /
the four regular coaches.
