is the opinion OF many the writer
has talked 70 since the meeting.
The real interest Of the campaign
was manifest in the contest for con-
gress. Clarendon has a candidate in
the race. Mr. J. II. Lesesne. and he
is opposing one OF the most popular
men in the district. Clarendon is not
unfriend!y to Mr.. Lesare, not II all:
George has many warm friends in
this county, and the people as Il
whole are proud TO find him with his
health almost restored: no people in
the district We're more anxious than
the people Of Clarendon when they
heard Of his extreme illness, and now
that he is able to be himself again,
they are proud OF it. The adage blood
is thicker than water. plays its part
in this campaign Mr.. Lesesne is Il
Clarendon man and reSa rdless OF how
much they esteem our congressman.
our home man is entitled TO first
consideration, and therefore. Nr.
Lesesne will, in all probability carry
this county by large majority.
The reception given 70 Mr.. Lesare

endou people; they DO not counter

always ready to give him glad and
sincere welcome. and would give TO
him their votes TOO. were the condi.
tious different. as is is. when Mr.. LIE.
sare was introduced he was Sener-
ously applauded and given the most
respectful attention, and several
times during his speech there were
signs Of approval. When he finished
the audience gave him a good ap-
plause.
Mr.. LeSesne closed the meeting.
When lie came forward the audience
broke forth into great deircnstra-
ton which lasted for several minutes.
1t was indeed q fine manifestation OF
confidence aad approval OF favor
i,e SON Mr. Lesesne, throughout
his remarks. was cheered so much
that the interruptions interfered with
his making 3 connected speech.
Whether Lesesne wins or loses he
cannot forget the loyal reception
given to him by the people Of home
county.
Both OF Ciarendon'S candidates
have every reason to be grateful for
the kind demonstration given TO
them by their own people. The can
didates put forward by this county
are men the count: fee! proud Of.
men who are worthy OF the support
OF the good citizenship OF the State
and district, and men who when en-
trusted with public charge will do
their duty.

had representatives on the ground,
