Friday, May 31 . - 190 The sentiment is being ver; generally expressed that it woul< be well to leave both McLauri and Tillman at home. it is announced that Mr. Fes therston, who ran for governor i '98, will be a candidate for th senate. Gov. McSweeney wi also be in the race. The general verdict seems t be that the public will regret tb resignations of Senators McLai rin and Tillman more than eith of them before it is over. Governor McSweeney now h: a great opportunity if he will bi rise to -t, viz., the appointmei of disinterested parties to su ceed McLaurin and Tillman. The monument to the Soul Carolina dead at Chickamaun was unveiled Monday. Gen. C. Walker and Governor McSween both made addresses on that c casion. With so many officers elect in the primaries, and with the coming regularly every two yea it is a great misfortune for t State to have an extra prima this year. If a debate between McLaul and Tillman should suggest t educational influences that ma seem to think such a debate v have, why could it not be h< next year, as well as this? C tainly it will not be educatio enough to pay for the cost of extra primary. Col. Wilie Jones, the chairn of the State Democratic Execut Committee, when he heard of i resignation of McLaurin m Tillman, stated that the prim to nominate their success would probably be held in Augi This brought a kick from I Laurin, who wished it behl ~W~fl~W~e committee to cide the time when the prima is to be held, On the outside pages of t issue we present matter t: should be of the greatest intei to every boy and girl contemp] in~g the standing of any of competitive examinations t summer, and it should be p served for future exr~minatic We had intended presenting t as a supplement but for want type we were compelled to pi lieb it on the outside, thus cutt down the number of our n4 columns. It does not seem that th< telephone polls are going to used soon. They are a perf nuisance where they are. TI are obstructing the drain on side of Congress street to si an extent that in a little wl they will cause a great wash they also interfere greatly w persons wishing to drive up that side. They have alrea stayed there long enough building purposes and they r become a nuisance. The tc council should have them and similar obstructions removed, then pass a law requiring a bui ing permit for parties wishing do any building of any kindl. this way they would protect town against many unsightly structions. AN EDITORIAL OUTING. Wednesday afternoon the wri joined Mr. Rt. Y. Turner foi bicycle ride to his home. J before reaching there therei dismounting to get a full view the fine wheat field of Mr. Dot' This is a beaatiful sight for ii the flne& t field of wheat the wri has had the privilege of see this year. On this same fi last year Mr. Doty made a yi of 33 bushels to the acre. will hardly get that much t year, though he says that. whole wheat crop will avert better than it did last ye When one sees what a fine ci Mr. Doty is making on this fil year by year it justifies i statement the writer once het of Mr. Doty, viz., that he is After the wheat field, Mr. Turner's garden was fully viewed. About one-third of an acre of onions in a continuous combat to crowd each other out of the drill is first seen. Mr. Turner said that he had planted these four inches apart in the drill so that they would meet in the row and this they are doing yet, though off of this small patch he has al ready sold about $25 worth, and even with the decreased price he should be able to sell more than he has already sold. Ye cotton tots, just think of it; one-third of an acre yielding at the rate of $150 per acre and that in one-haf of a year. A patch of cabbage of about the same size is next taken in, and judging from their fine ap pearance it does not appear that I they have lacked fertilization, work, or water. From this fine lot of cabbage Mr. Turner has been cutting about 200 pounds 0 every day for the past eight or e ten days and were it not for the old sta!ks one would not imagine ,r that they had been interfered with in the slightest. So far Winnsboro has been Mr. s Turner's only market for the it products from his garden, and t fortunate indeed is it that the -people thus have an opportunity of getting their vegetables so fresh. Later vegetables will be I supplied in season. a After a stroll over an oat field [. of which Mr. Turner is very fond, y the bee yard (the apiary) of Mr. c- Gantt was next visited. The writer felt very much at home in this place though he had never d visited it before. At home he is se always among the bees, for from s, the time he was six years old he e has spent many a day from early ry morn till dewey eve in their midst, and he could count the stings he - has received from them by the he thousands. In fact he had nol been long in this yard till on( y tried on the back of his head t( 11 see whether he was still thor r- oughly inQculated with a sufficieni ra quantity of formic acid as to pre an vent the injected poison fron taking effect. - And he stood the test. But with all the stings the: ian have given him he still feels i ive great debt of gratitude to thes< bhe busy little bees, for to theL botl Ind he and three of his brothers an< ry sisters are indebted very largel; rs for the funds for their colleg t. education and from them stil funs f it .Mr. Gantt o I- most of which are appar ry ently in good condition. Thes< are nicely located in a little grov< that is well suited for the pur his pose. A look into several of th< Lat hives showed that this had beei est a fine honey season. In additioi at- to the very fine honey he is get Ihe ting in his one-pound sections iis Mr. Gantt is getting up a displa; re- for the Charleston exposition s. Every old glass jar and all kind his of glass ware including the ol< of Palmetto bottle are being brough ib- into service for getting up thi ng collection. The writer has n< ws hesitancy in saying that in thi effort he is succeeding admirably for it has never been his privi se lege to see any finer specimens c be hoiaey. Mr. Gantt finds read; ect sale for his honey right here il Ley the home market.. The hone; ne this year has been gathered ver; ich largely from the blackberry an< ile is unusually well flavored. nd It is encouraging to see thes ith small industries taken up by th on people of this section. In true: dy farming and in bees there is goo< for money for enterprising citizen OW who will takee the time to buil< n up a trade. But the writer want all to see another industry added ti nd the above, viz., the raising c d poultry. But about this som k- oIther time. I' - ':r.

'ILLMAN-EXPLAINS IS RESIGNA TiON. - le Appeals to theY rs- of south Carolina to Vindlca his Course. Special to The tate. Trenton, S. C.; May 28.-Sena or Tillman furnished the press he following address this after aoon: To the Democratic voters of the State. Fellow Citizens; Ai extraor dinary and unparalleled situation ha's unexpectedly arisen in the State, and -as I am. mainly re sponsible for this., I .feel that a proper respect for' you, re.quires an explaiation of my actions and motives. Eleven years ago by a very large rote you elected me go.v ernor of tfie Stati,. and two years afterwards I was reelected by an overwhelming majority. . Ii '94 I was sent as your representative in I the congress of the United States as one of the. senators from South Carolina. After six years' service in that body I was last year chosen without op Ps tion to be' fy own successor. I was sworn-in on 'March 4th, last for the six years term'ending in 1907. The ink has hardly be come dry upon my oath of office and yet I' have tendered my resig nation to take effect September 15th next. My colleague has also tendered his resignation to take effect the same date, and thus there will be two vacancies to be filled by appointment of the governor until the legislature can elect our- successors in January next. I - desire to announce my candidacy to succeed myself and shall ask you to vindicate m action by your votes in' the pri. mary, which will be ordered by the State Democratic committee. This is an off year in politics an. but for the conditions which hat come-about my action in precipi tating a politiel campaign, an< primary election would be inex cusable. A brief review of recen political events will be necessar; to give that explanation. My col Ll 6eague, Jno. L. McLaurin, wa eleeted to the senate at a primar: held in '97 to succeed the la mented Earle. He was.. eleotem as a Democrat -standi'gu pon tb Chicago platform of 1896.\ Earl in '99 Senator McLaurin e company with his .Dem rati a colleagues. in the senate, ai~i since voted for and adv/c" ainntofhis pub ances and 'acts. Not ing-that a new State last May laid down -ples and policies =of and a new national con 1Kansas City in July ann the principles of Democrat now understood thronxgizout t13 union, your junior senator h acted though he were entirely it -dependent of the -people: 'wh elected him and has felt uder n obligations to obey . their :wiehe or do their will as their repre sentative. When congress at journed last March he and hi sympathizers in the State bega at once an. active propaganda< his new - doctrines, which L claimed were Democratic, bi I which all -true- Democrats muE know are only Republicanism i i disguise andl very thinly die i guised at that. He made a speec at Charlotte, April 16th, in whic the Democratic party is sneere at and assailed. He made anothe speech at Greenville last wee Sfilingot and developing his ne theories, and took pains to ind. cate this perfecet accord with M: McKinley in all his policies. 1] had appointments' .alre'ady ai ranged to make spe~eche~s at a least three other places-Gaffne' Yorkville and Spartanbiirg-an had begun an active ~canvass f reelection, fifteen months befoi the regular campaign, which woul choose his successor, iin tl: Democratic primary of 190 would open. I. J'v as natural thu these gentlemen who proposed t a cntest for his seat should be ur1 willing to prematurely annon their candidacy and take the fiel against' him.: *He 'had the diP a pensing of federal patronag placed at his' disposal by the 1R publican president, and .he ha unlimited moriey furnished by hi Republican allies, -or McKinle a Democratic folloyrers in Sout Carolina and his purpose was t go up and down the. State unoi posed. and unanswered to organiz his new.political machine. Thi was the situation up to the Gaf ney meeting and I was confronte, .with the question of. what wa Smy duty under the circumstances Recollect that I am a member c the national Democratic commit tee,.as your representative; I wa on the committee on platform 1i both of the last national conven tions and.helped frame the decla rations of principle and policy upon which we went to battle, and I was chairman of the com mittee on platform in your last State convention.. Remember too that both at Charlotte and At Greenville, directly andindirectly, [ had been. assailed by Mr. Mc Laurin and you will. understand why I was anxious to meet my colleague at Gaffney, - and whl - invited- by a- large number of citi zens of Cherokee coun I wil lingly accepted. The result of that meeting is now well -known. Mr. McLaurin was unexpectedly brought face. to . face with the question of resignation and ap peal to the people whose confi dence he had abused and whose trust he had betrayed. He tried to dodge the thrust, by charging that I was attempting to dictate and boss the people and inter fere in a race . with which I had no concern and was safely es conced in my. seat for six years and lhad nothing to lose, but could well anord to. lay down a code of moral ethics, for anothcr which I was .unwilling to follow myself. I saw the opportunity to preeipitate a battle at once rather than wait fifteen months and I offered.to resign if.he would, and the result you know. I acted from impulse it is true, but I have always acted upon impulse and as a public man I can affirm with the sacredness of an oath that all of my impulses -have been to serve the best int'erests of the people who have h6ored me. I had every opportunity.:to weigh the consequences of my action and to et out of it without dig credit,tut I felt then and still feel that my duty was to force the fighting and rid- the party of all traitors. The situation as I understand it, is this. The peo ple who are interested in having two senators at Washington to d . their will and stand by theii t principles will have in oppor r tunity of being honestly and hon .oably represented. This ha, a not been the case during the las two yease, and as Mr. McLauriJ remains in the senate it could no L be the case. B As to the burdens of the con F test The citizens of a give county will lose but two Idays, t ;bring about . this much desire } esult, one dayr to attend the caix Saign -ameetin'g andi the other t ho seek; ought with a complications what r.. -Vters will'. not be in fluenced in this contest by th e desite to elect local favorites ani s thus swapping will be prevented Theissues will be clear cut.

I have served them t ( the best of my ability with zes -and honesty since I have bee e their servant and shall continu to do so, if they ccntinue to hono d and trust me. When I canno s truthfully say that I represen the majority. of the people c I South Carolina and vote an< o speak as they desire, I becoms -"as sounding brass anid a tink~ e ling cymbal." And prefer th srtrmnt of private life to th derddelev-ation of a high po sition obtained by deceit an< s Iheld against the wishes of th people.
