POPULIST CAMPMEET1NO.
A Large Gathering at Montezuma
Three Days Last Week.
3Iontezuma, July 11.—(Special.)—This
has been a lively week in Montezuma.
Tbe Populist campmeeting, embracing
the 5th. 2th and 10th, drew large
crowds to town, people coming from
long distances to hear tbelr leaders.
While the Intention and purposes of
the meeting were for the people to
camp In tents and wagons, remaining
several days to hear the various
yet there was very little camping done,
only a few coming* la covered wagons
and no tents erected. Yet It was an en
joyable occasion to them. It was
something new and novel at least In
this country, but, as stated, the pro
gramme could not be carried out on
account of the bad weather and few
tenters.
On Wednesday Cola. Peek and Wim
berly addressed the people from the
band stand In the center of the town,
the weather being ao bad tho crowd
could not go to the place In the swamp
selected for the tenting and where a
platform had been erected for tho
speakers to make their addresses. All
the speeches were conservative except
Wimberly’s, which was distasteful to
his own party.
On Thursday Judge Bines addressed
a crowd of about S.Olni people on the
ground. He said the Populists were
not going to return to the Democratic
party just because they had "stole
their silver plank." but there were
other things In their platform that
were Just as Important as the sliver
plank, such as tho government owner
ship of railroads, reform In the ballot,
etc. Upon the latter ho placod great
stress, claiming the Democratic party
was defeated In ’M but got In by fraud
of the returning boab(l. Taken all In
all. It was a conservative speech, and
the Impression made was that he was
more liberal than the majority of his
followers.
On Thursday Col. Thornton of Co
lumbus and a colored speaker ad
dressed the colored nnd white people
In mass.
TAR AND FEATHERS.
A Negro Qian nnd White Woman Cre
ated n Sensation In Mnyosvllle, S. C.
Blayesvlllc, S. C., July 11,—(Special.)—
This quiet nnd moral little city Is In
the midst of a sensation just now, ns the
rcaalt of an attempted administration of
tar nnd fenthere to a colored school
teacher named Baley. The affair hns
been kept very quiet because some of
the most prominent men In the town were
the prDnc movers In It.
Tho story, briefly told. Is tills: In the
enriy spring Bsley went up North on a
collecting tour in tho Interest of his
school; that Is, ho gave that aa the ob
ject of Ills leaving. When ho returned
month ago he had with him a rather
prepossessing looking white woman, who,
so ho clnlmpd, had come to teach sten
ography In Ills school.
■Last week the good citizens of the town
began to look upon the new-oome woman
with disfavor nnd openly resented her
conduct In the place. Raley was waited
upon by n parly of the most prominent
young men in the place and advised that
unless the objectionable party wns re
moved in twenty-four hours a coat of tur
and feathers would be administered liotli
of them, with the additional promise of
being conveyed out of town on n rail.
A well known man here bestirred him
self In behalf of the negro teacher and
his white assistant, nnd when thin wns
found out lie wns promised the snme
treatment or worse. It developed, how
ever, that he wns only acting lit the in
terest of peneo, nnd this part of the
threatened scnndnl dhl not mntcrlnllze.
Tho mayor of the town interested him
self In getting the offensive woman out
of town, nnd three hours before her time
of grace wns out, hurried her out of the
community In a buggy.
The wdmnu wns from Boston. Your
correspondent did not succeed In learn
ing her. name.
(Baley has adjourned his school and de
parted hence. H. J. W.
