Managers of the election will do well to call attention to the voters that they must vote for three representatives: should the managers come across a ticker containing only one or two namecs for representatives, that ticket as far as representatives is concerned must not be counted.

The (()unty camt tipaign meeting w 'a: not large at Pa-ksville nor Summerton but when the campaigners reaches Manning they were greeted- with t crowd estimated at about 400 persons Mr. W. C. Chandler was chosen to pre side, and he called the meeting to ordei in the court house. After bome of the candidates for minor offices had spoker Mr. Galluchat made a protest agains carrying out the program as arrani -d. because the larger part of the eci came to hear the issues discussed wh> would be done by the legislative candi dates, and inasmuch as the candidate: for legislative honors had been at pre vious meetings put last. he wanted the order reversed. He also intimated that the arrangement was fixed by the hand of a politician, having in mind the man aigenment (%f the purrai at S1innerton the day before. The progrian however. had been preparcd by Messrs. Chan dier. Lesesne. Wcls and Bowman. and when Mir. Galluchat resumed his seat dr. Lesesne explained the matter and Mir. Galluehat's motion to reverse the order was lost. The court house was crowded and the heat was intense: among the audience were several la dlies. The heat and crowded condition became unbearable, when a motion was made that the speakers be heard out of doors which was adopted without a vote. All of the candidates for the various -ourt housel ofices made their usual speeches and promises, and Mr. E. D. Hodge, candidate for sheriff, promised, if elected, that if he received notice of escaped convicts running at large in this county he would not send, but go in person and capture them before some ood citizen was murdered or his prop ?rty robbed or burned. Mr. W. J. Turbeville spoke but a few ainutes, declaring himself in favor of :he dispensary, common schools and all measures which would have a tendency :o build up the country and decrease :axes. He referred his hearers to his ome people and his work in his own communitv: that he was to orator, but 2e professed to be a man wit!. practical >usiness sense and if elected he would endeavor to make the people a working -epresentative. Hon. G. R. Jones, on account of the llness of his son in Tennessee, was not )resent. Rev. T. B. Owen, declared for urohi ition as a principle. He claimed that 1e has always been a Prohibitionist 'pure and simple." He admitted the ispensary was better than any other ystem to sell liquor, and that between ispensary and license, he favored the ormer. Mr. Owen said when the dis )ensary law was first enacted it was in ended as a step towards prohibition. Lnd now that the "baby" was eight -ears old, it was time that another step >e taken. He did not stop to consider thether or not it was expedient to have rohibition, or whether it would be racticable, that with him the question s, IS IT RIGHT- Mr. Owen preached a lice moral theory. but we doubt ex meedingly if his audience was captured >y his sermon. Mr. M. C. Galluchat made probably he best speech of the campaign: his deas were well connected and his oints strong. so much so that we have een requested to make a full synopsis f his speech, which in part was as fol ows: --I am a candidate for the Legislat ire and several years ago when a can lidate for the same position I told the >eople some things, which they would Lot heed at the time, but they now real ze what I said then was true, and hings have since happened as I predict d. In those days s-our confidence in cer ain politicians w'as a thick veil over -our eves and vou could not see. but hat veil, by recent events has been ifted and nlow the truth shines out. There is an issue in this campaign and is for v-ou to determine which side ou are o'n. The question is, 'Whether re shall retain the dispensary as it is. ,r eliminate ther-efrom the sale of iquor as a beverage ''Our opponents call themselves Pro ibitionists. but they are not, they are Prohibition-Dispensaryites:' their par y platform makes them so, and they annot shift their position without de eiving the people. You have been earing ptrohibitionm discussed by the lethodist and Baptist clergymen of our ~ommunit~y for weeks. ever since the iominatio'n of C'ol. Hoyt, and until ~verv argument in favor of prohibition s famniliar: they have been preaching he principles of prohibition, but none >f them have attempted to show where he platform of the Prohibition party is >rohibition or can bring about prohibi ion. Now we ar-e allowed only twenty ninutes to present our side, to show hat in the Prohibition platform the incere Prohibitionists. those who want >rohibition, not for politics, but as a -eligious principle, will not get what :hey are praying for, nor is it intended v those engineering this so-called pro 'ibition movement that they shall have ,vhat they ar-e praying for. " The Hoyt platform, and mar-k you, :he Prohibitionists are solemnly pledg d to stand upon it, demands that the 3eneral Assembly shall author-ize the state to sell alcoholic liquors for sac ramental purposes. Search the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you ill find no authority for the use of alcoholic liquors' for- such a purpose. ou will see there that -God layeth the eams of his chambers in the heavens, rom whence the springs flowv among :he hills into the valleys and water the ierbs, that wine may- be made to glad len the heart of man." -Jothamn. the old rabbi, in the far >ti days of the judges, startled the Tewislh world by speaking of wine cheering God' so well as man, but Samuel endorsed it when he wrote his book containing the acts of these judges. We are forbidden to use the red wine.' the -new wine,' the 'mixed ine' and the wine that -moveth itself., because until nature has done its wor-k by fer-mentation it is not in the condi ti'on that God would have us use it. and to mix it is to pirepare a decoction of our- own manufacture. Where is the hurch that would dare use mixed wines foi- sacramental put-posesy 'Who ath wounds without cauise? Who hath redness of eyes? They that go to seek mixed wvines.' When -the unconscious water- sawv its God and blushed' at Cana, theec was no- mnore of a miracle per formed than when 'wine was p~ut into the g-ape.' so you see the use of wine is nt forblidden or- limited to any purpose. Noah was drunk. but asleep: righteous Lot was drunk, but asleep: and until an Aabian discovered what he thought was the -Philosophier's stone'-the ar-t of separating everything periciious fom ever-ything useful in the fcer mented juices of vegetable substances. and presenting to the wvorld as a result the condensation of all evils in the shape of alcohol-no delir-ium ti-mnus. or smecide and murder- occasioned there b. was ever- heard of or i-ecor-ded. Thait poison thus discover-ed is conceded to be man's vilest foe. deadliest enemy. Its effect is altogether- different from that of God-made wine, though both may make one drunk. Alcohol de -anges the mind, fires the brain and sends the dagger- to the heai-t of inno enee and the true Prohibitionist will demand that it be wip~ed f-omn the face of the earth: that the manufacture and sale of -alcoholic liquors' for any and all purposes5(i, be prohibited. Now whiat do these Priohibitionists say? -We de mand that alcoholic liquors be sold for medicinal, mechanical and sacramnenta purposes only.' They do not demanc Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. R.- P.

Their platform was framed by fifty-four persons who belong to their faction of a political party. tc .ether with a few disappointed politi cians of another faction. not to carry on a g rand religious principle, but for po lit'ial uposes. .\lr. Haynes of Lex ington. evidently a sincere Prohibition ist, fought it on the ground that it was too much permeated with alcoholic liquor. but unfortunately he was in the minority-the politicians were in con trol, and Mr. Featherstone refused to I go before the people on that platform. 'There was no James H. Carlisle or Wallace Duncan in that convention to frame a true prohibition platform, but because the platform adopted was labeled -Prohibition,' the ministry without a sober second thought adopted it. Those of us who have watched the lnovelents of politicians can see the trap which was set to capture the preachers, and how they unconsciously walked into it. and how they 1>ecame hoodwinked into innocently election eering for politicians out of a job. and hence it is.that Senator Tillman said to Bishop Duncan: Error is wrought from want of thought. As well as want of heart.' "Now, what I have asked on every stump in this county, and what I now ask is for the advocates of prohibition here. to show us how they propose to prohibit the sale of liquor through the dispensaries, as a beverage? They say by requiring a doctors certificate-a poor man whose wife is sick and who has only money enough to pay ' for the liquor will have to do without. and suf fer. or lie. Besides if he will lie to the dispenser, he will lie to the doctor, you encourage and offer induce nents for lying. which will perneate the witness stand. and the jury boxi and thereby become a menace to life, liberty, and property. They say you will keep the negro from getting it. No you wont, when the negro finds his employer can get it and he can't. he will go down into the swamps and make it himself, and while you are away from home at court as a juror, your families are left to the mercy of these wretches who are crazed on "tusic liquor." They say they will make it a misdemeanor to lie to get it. Yes: "catching before hang ing" but if they did. about one-half of the people who.drink would be on the chaingang. The idea: Connecting church with State in a Republic. "Here it is in a nut-shell: When I take my motherless child on my arm, and walk down the aisle of my church on God's holy sabbath-day with my heart prepared to receive the gospel, poor sinful man that I am. point me to the cross: not to the ballot box: teach me how to pray; not how to vote: show me the evils of intemperance and drunk enness, but not the preachers choice of candidates in a political primary elec tion. "The dispensary is fixed here by your legislature and the supreme courts of the State and United States; before we destroy it let them show us something better: or at least how they will stop the sale of liquor as a beverage and this they cannot do. They do not attempt to do so." Captain Bradham was not in good voice but he advocated the "prohibi tion-dispensary" idea, the selling of the State farms. biennial sessions. laid much stress on the small amount paid to pensioners. and contended that the dispensary profits will not be given to the public schools. He :aid he wanted to go to the legislature to do something for the people who had done so much for him. Dr. I. M. Woods spoke of his exper ience in the legislature and that his previous service was of value to him, that the delegation with which he served had started a policy of reducing taxation and that he thought he shouldl be sent back to complete the work started. He was an advocate of the disensarv because he t'egarded it a more practical temperance measure than so-called prohibition. He invited the people to look at his record, and promised them if returned to give them his best service. He voted for 8100,000 appropriation for free schools. Maj. H. B. Richardson was the last speake'r. and he started out by asking that the justice be done him to correct a mistake which had been made in the report of his speech at Packsville and published in The Farmer. He was made to a ppear in that paper as straddling on the liq uor question, and he did not want to be placed in such a position. Major Richairdson then defined his position. which wvas a clear cut argument in favor of the dispensary, a position he has held the past two years to our own knowledge. He showed that the legis lature did for the confederate pen sioners, just what the pensioners through their committee asked for, and in that matter, not being a veteran him self he was content to follow true and tried soldiers of the confederacy. He hurriedly explained the amended dis pensary law, his position on the public schools. he voted for the $100,000 ar propriation for the public schools and asked for an endorsement. Major Richardson speech was a good one, but he had to talk rapidly as the crowd was about tired out having listened to so many speeches.
