Considerable interest attached to
the meeting here today. Utterances
OF John T. Duncan are Bitterly resented
in Clarendon. Several partisan vot-
ers directly in front of the stage or
dered Mr.. Duncan to sit down and to
hush as he was introduced. Mr.. Dun

a noisy reception. Between 200 and
300 persons left with the former gov

Opposing Ring Rule
Candidates for congress in the
First district also spoke here today.
w. Turner Logan, incumbent, is be-
ing opposed by L.. S. Hutto OF Dor
chester and j. b. Morrison OF Nc
Clellanville, and the contest is spirit

being closely drawn between the ru-

people could give except the office of
governor. Clarendon had been the
mother Of number OF governors. He
declined to surrender his right and
