The citizens of Dillon are inviting
the Citizens of Dillon County to
turn out en- masse on August the
End. and give the State Campaign
party d rousinS reception. This
will be the first regular state cam
paign meeting to be held in Dillon
county and Dillon county wants to
do herself proud on this occasion
In the campaign party are several
mighty good stump speakers and
1t will be worth your while to drive
several miles to hear them. Outside
Of the race for attorney general
there is not M 8: ginger in the
campaign, but ;andidates are
giving some L good, solid
talk to the p,' ID the melting
here on next 4 will no doubt
be instructive 81. II as entertain
ing. The candies; Les for attorney
general are adding some zest to the
meetings by their spirited debates
over the way cases were conducted
against the dispensary grafters
Both candidates are good spea kers
and what each says about the
other is not without an element of
interest. although the charges pre-
ferred by Mr.. Lyons opponent, B.
B. Evans, seem to be lacking some
what in foundation of fact. The
only candidate for governor who is
bit personal is Mr.. Duncan who
says the rich grafters" in Colum-
bia are manipulating state politics
and that the dispensary grafters
are not til. only ones who should
be wearing stripes. The voters do
not seem to be taking Mr.. Duncan
very seriously. but il what he says
is true the State OF South Carolina
is in bad way and ii it is not true
the gentlemen at whom he is di-
recting his charges are badly SLAM
dered men
But anyway il will be worth your
while TO come out on the 2nd. and
hear what each candidate has TO
say. You can size up" the stu
uation better after you have heard
Ind seen tbs different men who
want TO look after the States af-,
fairs az Columbia.
