A bright old woman in the house

A few days after this meeting,
Luther Smith made an appointment

eater of South Carolina would say
worse thing about negroes and
abolitionists, than Luther Smith.
The town house was we'll filled,
with probably full as many republi-
cans as democrats present. Luther
made very bitter and aggressive
speech, which seemed to amuse the
republicans but embarrassed the
democrats, for they were not In SYM
pathy with such talk. He closed MS
speech by challenging anyone In the
audience to answer him.
/ After a few moments, Capt.
Charles Treworgy, rose and said, "A
very severe fire squall has passed

hurt nobody but the democratic
party. II Mr.. Smith will make that
kind of a speech in every school dis
trict, believe 1t will give the re-
publicans a majority of forty votes

This little speech was followed by

president by the republican party.
The cheers were long and loud, the
democrats cheering as enthusiastic
cally as republicans.
The republicans felt that the
meeting was a help to them, while
the speech of Capt. Treworgy and
the cheering of the democrats for
Fremont and Jessie, discouraged
Luther. He made no more speeches
but sulked. This relieved the demo-
Gratis, who believed his leadership
would be no help to their party.
