Haskell called attention to the fact' that, we were on 'ground made sacred by th- blood of our Revolutionary- fore-fathers. Col. Boyd, op posing Mr. Haskell for th offlc of adjutant . general, gave' a review of his military career. Mr. O. L, Walk er, 1 of Greenville. na Gen.: A. W. Jones, of Abbeville, discussed the all Important question of "the- assessment of taxes, v State Treasurer IU II. Jennings thanked th people of Ker shaw for- their unanimous support By the time the candidates for rail- road, commissioner began to saK. the crowd, had Increased to about 400. Mr. Cansler claims that Col. Wharton is ashamed of his own record because his cards do not state that he la run ning, for re-election. . Mr. Sellers says that, as CoU. Wharton Is continually on tha defensive, It Is -evident he Is si ready beaten. Mr; Sullivan is run ning on hts business record and will serve the whole State If elected. Mr. Summersett' says his experience of 21 years In .railroad work will Insure satisfactory work from him as rail road commissioner.; .Col. .Wharton defends the - honest acts of the com mission as an honorable man, but he does pot fear defeat.. EDWARDS USES MUCK-RAKE. - About 11 o'clock the candidates fur Governor began with Mr. Edwards, who used the .muck-raks on the rail roads, and - courts. Mr. A. C. . Jenes, said Mr. .Manning. would not be in this race If It were -not for th aid he expected to get through Tillman's Influence. Mr. Manning: -"Tou have no right to say that. Mr. Jones." Mr. Jone: "Well, I believe it." Mr. Manning: "You should not say so." Mr. Manning waa received with loud cheers and cries of "Hurrah for Manning." Mr. Manning answered th criticisms of Mr. McMahan in regard to th Brice act as follows: Mr. Manning has always felt that. should the dispensary law in a county be flagrantly violated, .there should be a chance for the people to get rid of a nuisance, but the B rice act, as It stands, seems to him to 'have been unsatisfactory because of the small electorate participating. Se he would advise that the matter be made a party measure, the ' Democratic pri mary rules being so amended as to require a primary to be held before a regular Brice Jaw election, and the Brlce act being so altered as to re quire that a majority of the qualified elector In a county - bo required' to participate In th regular election in order for said election to be valid and final. Mr. Manning states that he formulated his plsn as given above. SHOULD BE A PARTY MEASURE. Mr. J. J. McMahan says that while Mr. Manning Is a high-toned man. yet he feels Mr. Manning would be handicapped In the reform of the dis pensary If elected Governor because of the support It Is generally believed he la getttng from the dispensary officials, Mr. Tatum and others, to whom he would be beholden.- Mr. McMahatv It .elected, would be under ooiigauoo to no rings, oiiques, com bines or politicians and could do his duty fearlessly. Ha himself suggest ed that voting out 'the- dispensary might be mad a party measure, but he feels Mr. Manning's suggestion as to primary plan would be nullified by an act requiring a majority of quali fied electors to participate In the gen eral election following a dispensary primary. Mr. . McMahan had never heard of any general- election In which the law required a majority of th electorate to participate. Mr. Manning arose at this and pointed out that. In voting certain bond is sues, the law required a majority of the qualified elector to participate. The crowd warmed up very much to Mr. McMahan' position and cheered him so loudly as to Interrupt him. Col. Sloan said, at Chesterfield, that he had pulled 20 acres of land out of his pocket to give Columbia Col lege but to-day he stated he had not actually gotten the land out of his pocket, but bad presented it to Columbia College. A STAR IN A DREAM. Col Martin T. Ansel believes that county prohibition can be enforced. because it will have the moral senti ment of th community bark of It. Mr. Bless la -highly amused at Mr. Ansel's claim that Greenville la a prohibition coonty and ventures that more liquor Is sold by the blind pigs and Illicit distilleries of that county than by the dispensaries of Kershaw county. Ha claims that Messra. Sloan and Manning have seen, in a dream, a star marked "Stat Dlspen- sary," leadintf to the Executive Man sion and each has said: ."Henceforth I consecrate my all to thee. Ben Tlll man's Slat dispensary." Mr. Brun- son arraigned Mr. Jones for running as a prohibitionist with a dispensary plank and a high license plank In hi platform. Mr. Jones, who' had pre viously refused to gtv tlm to Mr. Edwards, arose at this and 'Insisted on being-given time, claiming to bo, misrepresented 'and aaylng Mr. Brun son had mad a mlsststement of facts. Th chslr ruled Mr, Jones out of order snd ha reluctantly took .. his seat. Mr. Brunson brushed "this little Incident lightly aside and' went'- on with his argument ' Messrs.

The surface influences were In favor of creating the long expected weakness, as a great vol ume or August netlces -ere put In early circulation at New York, while the official weather map snowed showery and cloudy conditions, such as Is claim ed to be needed to arrsat crop Injury after the continuous rains, but the ef fect of the tenders on August was of short duration, after developing com parative weakness, a quick recovery of the loss followed their stoppage by the more prominent spot houses inere, and calpers who wero short immediately en deavored to cover on a dull market, stimulating the list thorounout Meanwhile, the character of the crop news Is somewhat less favorable and wtille It must be conceded that com plaints are by no means as numerous 4 they usually are at this season, there apparently exists a rear that further reports ot deterioration will ronow in ine event climatic conditions during next , month are not of the mude-to-oroer vari ety, und this fact taken in conjunction with the customury n-rvousnes in evi dence as the date of the bureau publi- . cnticn approaches, gtves rise to the be lief tiutt furtner e.Torts to ellmlnute short commitments may rreuit in a tem porary recovery, flhould this develop we would again recommend selling as w are rapidly nearlng the time when the welglit of actual cotton muet be daily encountered, and we question if the speculative or trade demiind will be of sufficient volume to nullify Its uiualiy depressing Influence. The weakness of July here to-day l directly trareuble to the llquUlntlon of siimller longs who hnve beet, espectlng ensatioiiul developments In thnt posi tion, but who were forced to sell rather than accept tenders which are certain to be made on Monday next.

To-day was notice day on Aiifrust contracts, and tenders of about DO.ttuu bales developed unexpect ed weakness not only here, but also In new Orleans, where the July corner crumbled away. New crop positions were affected only temporarily by the weak ness in the summer montns. New low levels, however, were established for all months, but the ctose shows a rally of R to 10 points from the bottom. Th-re is always an anxious period netween the date on which the replies are jnalled to the Inquiries from the Department of Agriculture, and the day of Issue of the bureau report a space of nine days In tills instance, bulls are evidently mak ing a strong effort to create apprehenxliin umong shorts by circulating predictions of a huUlah bureau report. It was difficult, however, to And any nupport for such prediction-. All the ad vice, at hand Indicate that the crop sit uation In th central and western belt shows an Improvement over last month more thsn sufficient to overcome the full ing off In the Atlantic district. Wa can find nothing In the crop outlook to cause any rear that tne yield wit) not be suf ficient tn meet the requirements, while on the other hand, recent developments In Kurope point to a reduced consump tion during the coming seanon.

"What la tho significance of the picture which forms the cover of the current Issue of Collier's?" asked a lady of a reporter yesterday. The picture Is tho likeness of a handsome young woman absorbed In "learning her fortune" from a pack of playing cards. Spread out on th table In front of her are tho ace, the three, four, live and nlno-spot of hearts and the ace and six-spot of spades. The king of hearts is on the top of the pack snd the pensive young woman Is just drawing the ace of clubs from the bottom of the pack. The picture Is entitled "Rouge et Nolr." Tho Observer man, not being an expert at telling fortune by card, waa unable to anstPer the question.
