"Democrat" Scores mcLaurin and Praises Tillman. or: The action of our senators in in the most r mp ing the same is d to some considerations at e hands of their constituency, and it might also be -well to re view their officiil course there and their political conduct as well since they have been the accred ited representatives of the State of South Carolina. Senator McLaurin was elected to the United States senate to succeed the late Joseph H. Earle I as a Democrat and by the Demo cratic party and under an implied oath, at least, to faithfully adhere to the platform, priucples and creed of the party which had honored him with the highest office in its gift; but regardless of his obligation to thie party that had entrusted the great office, to gether with its emoluments to hisJ keeping, he barely reaches the!

The infamny that cleaves to the name of Benedict Arnold ~is also in delibly written upon the fore head of John L. McLaurin. * Ordinarily a change of mind can be justified, but for such a 1u11af Cretin VEEK.

What horrible >ffenlce have these poor helpless Lnd friendless Filipinos commit ed to justify this brutal war of stermination and subjugation? .bsolutely none! Acting solely ipon the defensive and actuated y the lofty and patriotic inclina ion characteristic of any free eople they have dared to feebly rotest against the invasion of heir sacred homes by a foreign Lnd alien army. MLaurin next orders his name tricken from the Democratic ~aucus roll and thereby severs s connection with the Demo 'ratic party, if he had not indeed lone so before. McKinley and lanna then call McLaurin up Lnd as a reward for his treachery d conversion to republicanism, r a partial reward therefor, give i a Republican patronage bag or South Carolina, and it is said he promise of a barrel later on 'or the upbuilding of McLaurin sm and Republicanism, which is iynonmous. After all this positive proof, md dozens of other instances, still more damning against the unior senator, he has the auda ios effronterv to stand before a affney audienice and still pro aim hi emocracy; he eulogizes McKinley and his administration; he supports the Republican pol cy and platform, and this plat Form is as widely different from the Democratic platform as day hand he denounces u W. J. Bryan, the late Democratic nominee for the Presidency. He declares the platform as made and promulgated by the national t Democratic party and the policy a heresy and contains everything that is meau and obnoxious to civilization, progress and ad vancement. Yet after all of his eulogies he expresses admiration for and affliation with the Repub lican party, and his denunciation, slanders and falsehoods against the Democratic party and its faithful leaders, he still has the brazen audacity to say he is yet a Democrat. Does McLaurin not make a most ridiculous spectacle of himself by trying to palm off such deception and hypocrac upon the intelligence of South Carolina, conspiring with the enemy to disrupt the party he claims to belong to and express' 'ng loyalty to the same while trying to destroy it. Imagine a man leaving his family circle and going to his bitterest enemy and conspiring with him to break up his own home and then return home and declare lie is still true and faithful to that home, and his only motive was to perpetuate the happiness and prosperity there. But we will not have far. to go to find the root of his de ception. He knows the word Republican implies corruption, and is abhorred and detested by. almost the entire white popula tion of the State, and his only hope is to fly false colors and it possible deceive the illiterate voter. Mr. McLaurin's record shows that honor, principle and loyalty to party play no part in; his campaigns. It is the office he wants and the cost is imma terial. This is clearly shown by his conduct at Gaffney and since, tion at the point of Tillman's pitchfork he began to impose conditions and qualifi at the offi e rV U sad rm Tr him anthat he had intended to voluntarily resign. But when Tillman closed in upon him with the glittering points of the pitch foik on one side and a yawning precipice on the other, he unwill ingly accepted the inevitable, but almost immediately he began to hedge and continued to do so until McSweeney opened a crack 'for him to get out, and then he shot through like greased light ning, and the only wonder is that he did not kill himself in getting out of Tillman's pen in such in decent haste. However, after his escape he managed to contain himself long enough to thank the Governor for his patriotism in letting him out. Such deception, hypocracy, treachery and contemptible eforts to deceive the people is absolute ly without a parallel in the polit i'al history of South Carolina. Contrast the able and dignified record of B. R. Tillman who has faithfully represented his party and State, whose power, influence and accomplishments that will more than equal that of all the senators and representatives we have sent to the national con 'gress since the war put together. He has ably and with powerful effect combatted Republican ex penditures, thefts, outrages and robberies. He has boldly ex posed Republican corruption without mercy, and put them to flight by the force of his power ful arraignment. He has driven the armor plate thieves from their base and thereby saved millions to the American people. In order to relieve the State of the dis grace of McLaurinism and re pubcanism, he offers to sacrifice his office with its emoluments aggregating $33,000 and entail upon himself the burden of a State canvass at an additional cost of $500 more. What could demonstrate more closely his de votion and loyalty to the grand old Democratic party with its honored traditions than this sin gle act alone? When the impar tial history of South Carolina is written Tiliman will adorn its pages as one of the greatest men the State has ever produced, while McLaurin must go to ob livion in disgrace.Deor.

Editor: I beg prmission o write a short letter to my airfield friends through the olumns of your paper. I have ound it almost impossible to ulfill my promises of corres >ondence by individual letter, so seek to do so in this way. There are. many things strange Lnd interesting to "Eastern peo >le" about which I could write nuch but I will confine myself to My a few this time and perhaps ;ive you more in the future. The character of the soil, rocks, ossil shells, etc., show plainly to bhe observer. that this country was at some period of the earth s history covered by the sea, and that at a subsequent* time it was 'pushed up" so to speak, by some great upheaval of nature until now it stands far above the rest of the North American continent. The altitude here at Santa Fe is 7000 feet, just 300 feet above the highest mountain peak east of the Mississippi river, with mountains all around which run up, some of them to 14 thousand feet. On account of this great altitude as a living place one who comes here from the east experiences often a good deal of difficulty at first with embarassed heart and lung action. This ity is the oldest in the United States. It first existed as an Indian pueblo previous to the advent of the exploring Span iards. It is situated on Santa Fe Creek which supplies watei to the people and to the ever dry and thirsty soil. The population is in th3 neigh borhood of 8 thousand of whicl bout eight ninths are natives o1 and the other nintl r American th aslan # . - t u dice, you hear more Spanish tenr English and one often finds him self in an embarrasing position unless he is familiar with the language. The streets are gene rally very narrow and crooked without sidewalks. The houscs are almost wholly of adobe, mate into large bricks from the native dirt and straw and dried in the sun. This kind of building ma terial must have forced itself on the native mind through neces sity, for timber is extremely rare and only to be found in the moun tains where there is plenty of water. The "dobe" brick is not so firm and strong as the common burnt brick, and consequently will not stand much pressure or rain, so the houses are only one story high and built flat on the ground. The floors are of dirt, which are often scoured with a cloth and water, which gives them a nice appearance when dry and also makes them hard. The roof is also of dirt a foot or more thick, almost flat, just enough depressed on one side to cause the water to run off. On these roofs grow grass, weeds, and shrubs, and I have seen vegeta hles planted safe out of the reach of sheep and goats. The walls are plastered without and within. The inside is frequently white washed with lime. On a whole these houses are extremely com fortable, warm in winter and cool in summer. Most of these houses are built around a small square afier the old Spanish cus tom, like an inner court, or in the Spanish placita, which is diminu tive of plaza. The placita is a delightful place with the doors of each room open ing into it and completely ob scured from the public gaze and from the wind, where the Senoras and Senoritas sit crouched on the ground with head and shoulders covered with that indispensable article of dress, the Mantilla (pro nounced Mahn-tee-yah) a n d smoke the inevitable cigarette. The monotony of the town is broken by an open square in its centre, called the plaza or park, which is filled with trees, grass, flowers, feuntains and benches, where hundreds congregate every day to converse and enjoy them. selves. A military band gives open air concerts in the plaza two or three times a week. 1 often think what a Godsend it Rock Hill Bug --BEFORE Ca.n get you a good mule "Ben," the short-horn bull, summer.

They hae a cathedral, an Indian surl, a male and female college and convent, be sides three or four churches. One church deserves especial mention, namely, the old San Miguel Church, which was built in 1550, and is the oldest in America. The old governor's palal, stands as another monument. It was erected in 1598, nine years Previous to the settlement of Jamestown. It is the most im portanrt structure in the west from age and historically. Whether under rule of Spanish, Pueblo, Mexican or American it has been the seat of authority and power. With it have been associated such historical char acters as Onat., Vincente de Salivar, De Yargos, Lieut. Pike, Gov. Perez, Gov. Armnijo, Capt. Cooke, Gen. Kearney, Kit Carson and Gen. Lew Wallace. Gen. Lew Wallace while gov ernor of New Mexico in 1879-80 completed his famous novel Ben Hur in one of the rooms of the palace. I ic.sert an extract from a let ter to a gentleman of this place: Crawfordsville, Ind., May 6, 1900. Mr. Dear Sir:- * * When in the city of Santa Fe my habit was to shout myself after night in the bed-room back of the exec utive office proper and write until after 12 o'clock. The sixth, seventh and eighth books were the result and the room has ever since been associated in my mind with the crucifixion. * * * Very Respectfully, Lew Wallace. It would be unjust in closing not to make mention of the most comical, patient, useful and com mon animal to be seen in this country, which is none other than the burro. He drinks water only about twice a week and eats very little, seems satisfied with a meal made on an old newspaper and a rag. He has had a hand in almost every enterprise where transpor tation was required. He is par excellence the paek aniinal. In Santa Fe his chief business is to pack in wood for sale by his Mexican driver, who beats him about through the streets seek rgies, Harness, &c., BUYING. if you lose one. will be kept at my stable this ! season.
