L. McLaurin, upon | his return to Columbia after ,a siay { of several days in the Pee Dee section of the state. The senator paid his respects to the Manning circular which has been issued, quoting an editorial 'in which Mr. McLaurin is referred to as a "political demagogue.'' "So far as being a 'demagogue' is concerned/' he says, "the class of people wno are supporting Manning call any one a demagogue who disagrees with them.*' ^Vthile viewing the circular with amusement, ne again canea auenuou to Manning's record as a "creature of the corporations," and the injury which he felt would be done the state by his re-election, which, however, he did not now consider possible. "The daily newspapers," he said, "started out to prevent information frcm getting to the public as to the compaign, and might have succeeded had The Charleston American not been started ; nd broke this up. We often j hear of 'the subsidized press,' but! most certainly in South. Carolina it nj wonderful with v.hat unanimity the! c'aily papers have backed Manning." j When asked what he thought of political conditions generally, Senator McLaurin said: Changing. "Well, there has been some change in the relative positions of (Manning end Cooper since I gave out a public statement on August 5th. I said 'ihen that Cooper would not receive - i more han vf',000 votes. There nas been a steady drift during that time from Manning to Cooper, and I now believe that Cooper will receive aiDout as many votes as Manning. I notice today a statement from the Cooper headquarters, in which Mr. Cooper's xranager gives Blease 48,000 votes, Cooper 45,000, land Manning 38,000. I fcave gone over with some care the various counties iu the state, ana i dc not see how any one can figure Blease less than 60,000 votes. Of the other 70,000, I should figure that Manning and Cooper have idbout an equal number, witfi. Manning on the lose and Cooper on the gain. The steady increase in Blease's strength, however, which is coming from both j Manning and COoper, leaves little, 3 VA *-? ~? flvot U'ill UOUUl ill li.I V t UliiiU tliU L> ' ?> J make up the five or six thousand | votes necessary to go in on the firs: ballot. "The campaign meetings through the Pee-Dee were a distinct frost for Manning and Blease showed far more ) strength than I had anticipated, i "A very amusing thing occurred a day or two ago. A circular is beinj got out in answer to the letter which I wrote from Richmond. This cam> paign circular attacks me as ta 'po j litical demagogue,' and announces Manning's support of the state warehouse system. The manner in which I got hold of one of these documents is laughable, though probably prophetic. The printer in Columbia, who is doing the work gave one of them (probably the first off the press,) to his carrier boy and told him to take | it to the governor's office. Instead ' of going up to the capitol, the T>oy carried it round to Blease's office, aiid it was sent down to me. When asl:ed about it, the carrier said: "Why, they tol, me to take it to de Ouv'nor's of -3 7 Irnrwir nn. flll'VTlOr DUfc UC6) ?t-UU i. uuu v uivn uv v. - -? Sir. Blease." As I say, this is prophetic. :i ii ~ *AU lire Wrongs "So far as being a 'demagogue is concerned, tlie class of people supfc porting L\!r. Manning call any man a j demagogue who disagrees with tneiu. I am doing what I conceive to be for, m the best interests of the people of' | South Carolina. I have reached a:> l age where I have no political ambiS tion, and where my chief desire is 1 to round out my work and retire to V private life. I believe that the election P of Manning w;,\ destroy the stat* I "* srehouse system and give the corr-cI rations a sway in this state which I th^y 'h^ve never tnjoyed before. 1 I believe that if the truth were known, i there is a distinct understanding now with the insurance trust that the state is to concede their demands if Manning is re-elected.

Carlton, of Allendale, South Carolina, was working in Virginia and joined their National Guard, the 1st regiment of infantry from that State. He was with "his regiment when they were ordered to the border and at "Whitmire, where his ssctlcn stepped for a sliort time in South.

He ' * * A1 nn/i j Wired JQ13 major Ol UltJ anu<tuuu ana | the latter telegraphed him back to join the regiment in Atlanta and to use the telegram for transportation. He went to Atlanta as per instructions from the major's telegram, but j found tTie Virginians had gone. | Private Carlton remained in Atlanta two days without funds and without anything to eat and then made his way back to his home at Allendale | intending to join the Virginia troops : from there. In Allendale he wa . arrested by the chief of police as \ deserter and taken to the South Caro ] lina mobilization grounds at Camp Styx and turned over to the soldier^ there. "All's Well," Etc. The /Virginian wus brought on out to the border by the South Carolina troops and he /got very "chummy" with the men, those being detailed to guard him becoming his best friends He is of gentlemanly demeanor and his attitude was that of making the best of the unfortunate situation. The matter was reported to the army of ficials and tne Virginia comimuuci and Private Carlton had copies of the telegrams he had sent to his company cfter getting left in South Carolina to "back up his statements. The explanations were finally made through the proi>er channels and Private Carlton has been instructed to rejoin hib command at Brownsville without tri*l He is now all right and will probably leave for Brownsville in a few days. Meanwhile he has the privilege of th-camp and is not confined in the guard tent, where he was kept until it w.is I established t'vr.t his account of how he come to leave his regiment was correct. i Mr. Carlton was born and reared at Allendale and his wife is living there I now. I i Col. Allison Holds School, j Lieut. Col. .T. B. Allison, of the 2d, j instructs the non-commissioned offij cers of the regiment twice a week and makes talts to the commiccioned officers every day. His talks have been so far largely ulong the lines o? camp preparation. He is untiring in his efforts and Col. Springs said this {morning that the regiment was for tunate in getting such a -. plendid omcer ,-and he spoke of the invaruabU. ! assistance he had already been to both * | the officers and men of the 2d. Col. ; Allison is thoroughly familiar with j the National Guard and he is in a i position to bo of a great value to the ! regiment. He is a most efficient officer and is ready day or night to render such assistance or give such information as is wanted. The good results of his instructions are already appearing and the regiment, it Is believed, will accomplish so much more in a shorter space of time as a result o* the experience and training which <"V>1 Allison has enjoyed and the in structions which he is giving daUv to the commissioned and non-comn issioned officers. Gnarding Horses and Mules. The Palmetto regiments have been riven the duty of guarding the b^; ctrral of the Government near Fort Fiiss, where over S.OOO horses are i J collected for the use of the troops ! An officer of th' g uard and twentyj frur privates are necessary to guard j the corral. The South Carolinians j relieved the Michigan militiamen who | had been performing this duty. It is a sight to see the tremendous I number of horses and mules which i are being collected here by the Gov ! ernment. Yesterday a trainload I i horses came in from St. Louis anil they were good animnls. too. They were taken to the corral, guarded by the Palmetto men. The 2d is expecting Major J. S!hapter Caldwell, formerly assistant .Adjutant General, to arrive in a few days and assume his duties as first lieutenant of Company G, the Columbia Light Infantry commanded! b> Capt. Wingard. Tt is thought thai Capt. W. |YI Carter, who will com ! rrand the Governor's r^ards, will reach the border before many days. Hfke to Mountains. The Union Company, under Ca-pt. J. Frost Walker, and the Cheraw comity, -under C\pt. Gillespie, vent for a hike in the mountains on Friday. The Hartsville company, under Capt Craig, and the Camden company, under Capt. McLeod, took a hike in tho mountains on Thursday. Lieut. W. C- Wallace, of Camden, vrho has been adjutant for Major Von Treskow, of the 3d battalion of th?j 1st regiment, has been detailed as assistant brigade adjutant. Lieut.

He came to Sty* i ar. first sergeant of the Camden com pany and was promoted to lieutenant i-.nd assigned as adjutant to Majo~ VonTreskow, and has now been dotuiled as assistant brigade adjutant under Col. W. K. Wright, commanding the brigade. Lieu^. H. H. Birchmore, of the Camden company, has been detailed as adjutant to M.ijor /VonTreskow. "Yanks" Very Sociable. ! Several of the privates from the 8th ; Pennsylvania came over to the Camden company street the other night and gave some boxing exhibition.3. Some of the Camden boys took on th-3 Keystone State men, but were not able to do very mucb. with them. The officers of the 3d h-.ittalion of the 1st were entertained at supper the other night by the officers of Company C of the 8th. Pennsylvania. There are eight short men in the i i Camden company, which form what | is known as the "runt" squad ana | j they all occupy the S!;.me tent. This! I was the onlv ^auad which had started! flower garden around their tent and had built a rook protection raised to some feet around the side of the tent. When the big rain swept over the crmp on Thursday night the "runt s uad found their tent flooded, tfci wall making a nice pond. All of their | decorations and flower garden wero washed away and they had to bale the rater out of the tent. This squj.d i"> composed of Corp!. swt P.

F. Arthur, whom he hadn'i : seen in nine years. Mr. Arthur is a member of the 6th Pennsylvania and holds a sergeancy. in that regiment. He brought Capt. McLeod some ice water and it is needless to say tha*. the meeting was a pleasant one for both of the gallant soldiers. Ser^t. Arthur served seven years in the regular army and was working in Penns: lvania when the President calls J for the National Guard. He could noi ! resist the impulse, but joined the com! pany in the town in which he was and i came on to the border. 2d's Canteen Open. j The 2d regiment finished their canj teen and opened it for business on | Friday morning.

KEBUKES HUGHES FOR HIS TACTICS Lepnblioan Candidate's Waring Bloody Shirt Will Get Him Nothing. The State. Washington, Aug. 19.?Senator B. R Tillman, in ia speech in the senate today, severely rebuked 'Charles Evans Hughes, candidate for the presidency on the Republican ticket, for waving "the bloody shirt" of sectionalism throughout the country in his efforts to get hira:elf into the White House. (After expressing the sentiment thi* he had believed, "with the T7ar Between the States gone these 50 years, there had comd a broa i peace between r.he people, it had remained for Mr. Hughes again to stir the fires of the '60s. -Senator Tillman said: "I read in one of our newspapers yesterday of a 'one man pamde' up Pen* sylvanii ave-ue?a lone Union veteran, -uiheralded and alone, marching in celebration of his own enlistment in the Civil war. While I accord full credit to him for the patriotism thrtt prompted him to respond to tha colors then, and can understand anv excuse the vanity even of such an expression of it today, I could not hut be reminded of that other lone figure that has gone parading and shouting about the country, a veteran of neither side in any flay, waving the banner of 'sectionalism' before the people who are trying to forget; if, indeed, they have not already forgotten.
