SINGING "TIT-WILLOW"

These are wise commentaries on the senatorial
campaign from The Columbia State:
What dreary grind it has been for the can
didatesI They have criss-crossed the state from
mountains to sea and from the North Carolina line
to the banks of the Savannah. At most points they
have been met by handfuls of uninterested people,
who have heard-if they have listened-the same
charges and the same refutations. No variety; no
spite; no interest. Daily have newspaper readers
glanced over the reports of the meetings curious to
see if something new had been brought out or IT,
at any point flint had hit steel. Not spark at nine
out of ten meetings"
The commentaries apply to the speeches OF the
candidates for representative. o
Why are not the speeches interesting? Tllmans S,
Orr's, Youmanss speeches were interesting. We
often quote, after forty-odd years. sayings of Cap
tain Tilman.
North Carolinan told US that General MAT
Ransom, United States senator, could hold an audi
ence of thousands two hours and half without
once descending to tell joke Tillman seldom told
joke, but he quoted from the great literature OF
England and applied it with tremendous dramatic
effect Lawrence Orr could drive point through a
six-nch skull and make it think. "Tom" Watson
could stir the masses. .... ...

published life of George McDuffie by DR.. E. L.
