A NEWSPAPER IN JEFFEWSON.
Jefferson is to have an uptodate
newspaper, which means thai
iresh impetus is to be given to
the development ot that already
rapidly growing town. A company,
compose 1 f?f progressive
citizens of Chesterfield county,
lias purchased the Carolina.Citizen,
which has been published for
the past two or three years in
Cheraw by Mr. J. T. Meehan,
and will remove 'he entire plant
to Jeffeisou. Mr. Meehan will
continue as editor ot the Citizen
He will of course move to J idler
son.
The promoters of the Jeffersoi
newspaper enterprise are to b<
congratulated upon the wisdom
shown in the selection of an
editor. Mr. Meehan, who ia i
native of Lancaster county, w?
believe, is a vigorous, forceful
writer and has ihe courage of his
convictions. He also has excellent
ideas as to how a newspapei
should be c-mducted.
THE DEMO UATIt CLllbS AND THE
LIUUUII 'lt'bS I ION.
As previously -1:i ?*tl ill these
columns, tho Don; cra'ic clubwill
inept mi Mto '2Stii instant t<
el< ct delegates t<? tho count \
cot" vontion, which moots tin
tir t Monday in Mav. K tch < !nl]
will select a member ol the connty
executive commit toe. The
state convention. will bo held o?:
the Ifith of Mav. Lancis'er is
entitled t< six delegates in that
convention and they will ^bc
accordingly elected ny the connty
convention on M iy 7 li.
The VorkviHe K iquirer says
that it has good reason to believe
that the dispensary lorees
in York ccuntv have "plans
well under way lor ilie capture
ot Ihe precinct club meetings
and of flie county convention,"
mid it therefore advise* "the
un'i dispensary people" to
" taud !or their rights now."
We he-.ir ol no similar move
Tin nt in I/.uic isior county, which
like York voted out the dispensiry
last, year. So f ?r as we have
been able to learn the friends of
the dispensary in this county are
quietly acquiescing in the verdict
of the people rendered at
the polls the 3rd of laH October
If any plans are being laid with
the view of dis orbing present
conditions, we 1 ave not heard o
them. Not even Senator Ti.!maii's
manifesto created so much
as a tipple on the surface, judging
by the silence with which it
was generally received. Our poo
pie are evidently thinking ab<>u'
something else just now and
have neither the time nor
the inclination to become
wrought up over the liquor
question, especially so soon alter
t he excitement and agitition
ot last fall. It seems to he getter
ally recognized that prohibition,
which the people hy an overwhelming
majority voted lor,
should be given u fair and impartial
trial.
But all Democrats, regardles*
ot their views on the liquor question,
should attend their club
meetings?not for the purpose
of trying to control the organi7?Hnne
in f lm <>l snv nur.
ticular mode of handling the
whiskey problem?but because
it is a duty they owe ihe party
to attend and to see to it that
capable, honest and loyal members
only are elected to the var
ious offices and chosen as dele
urates to the county convention.
THE SOUTHEIIN'S BIG PLANS.
The Yorkvillo Era quotes an
, official of the Southern Itailwav
as recently saying in Yorkville
that "the Southern is under con
tract, vvi'h the government to
^ deliver 400 cars of coal daily at
the naval station in Charleston,
beginning the first of next year,
and this wiil mean that at least
t 25 trains will pass through here
, in each direction."
According to the same author*
( ity "the road told Three C's) is
t being completed through the
, mountains of North Carolina inI
to Tennessee and will connect
at Johnson City with roads to
coal Ileitis ot Virginia and Ten
nessee and with the Southern's
Cincinnaiiconnections. Through
passenger trains from Cincinnati
to Charleston via this route will
: then he put into service. The
work of bui'ding the connecting
link from Marion to Johnson
i City is heing rapidly pushed and
, all contractors are said to he nil
tl? r an agreement to have their
, work completed by Sept. 1. The
, entire roadbed of 111 #? t? 1?1 Three
j C's will be overhauled and heav\
steel raiis put down, and ill
places l he i oadbt d changed "
These improvements however,
'it appears, are conditioned upon
a decision favorable to t lie Soul h
i orn in the famous merger suit.
Wonder if that railroad man
said anything about building a

Committeeman Lyon on
Senator Tillman, and the
Latter's Reply.
Mr. .J. Kra-dor L\oi', of the
dispensary investigating committee,
in a liy letter to a
Columbia lawyer, makes some
sensational references to Senator
Tillman, evidently smarting
' under what i'dlman bad to^say
| about the centmittee in his recent
manifesto. Referring to the
j delay in the investigation. Mr.
j Lyon says :
"We are trying to get the
lac's in regar 1 to several suspicious
matters which we think
| should b investigated. Among
ihem is Hie statement, as L recall
it, ot Senator Tillman that
lie returned certain rebates to a
distillery. We wish lo find the
credits on the b< oks of the dts
tillery, showing the amount ol
reb ites which Senator Tillman
s?id he return*d as a gift for the
gratitude he fe t to the liqu?>r
eoncero credit ng the State ol
South Carotin >. Besides this
there has come t > inv ears a ru
tuor. the source ol which i dti
not now recall, but which 1
think should be looked into,
that Senator Ti.liiian, when tiovenor,
was preset.ted with a piano
by a liquor concern. it may he
that receipts may he shown to
the teha'is which may hav?
been returned, and f??r pivmenl
of this piano which ma\ have
been received. : s was rumor. <1

viewed Sunday whi'e on lis waj
from Washington to Olennon
College, on the subject of Mr.
Lyon's letter, by a representative
ot the Columbia State, the re.
port of the interview appearing
in Monday's issuo of that paper
front which the following is re
published :
After reading the letter, Sen
ator Tillntan was indignant anc
grew more so as he talked.
"1 am surprised," lie said
"that a gentleman such as J
thought Mr. Lvon to be wouh
go in the papers in such a sneaking
way as this. Even the ltann
ol a lawyer to whom he wrote ii
not given, hut whether he au
thorized its publicity or not,
assume it to he authentic.
"1 have not attacked the in
vesligating committee: 1 onb
warned it in a friendly spirit
And why? Either the $700,(JIM
worth of claims against the Stat
board are valid and binding o
they are not. I say they are not
because the whiskey was bough
contrary to law and tlie State ii
not legally bound for payment.
"What ?bout the piano,'* Sei:
at or Tillman was asked.
"Well," he replied, I liav
heard it said if you throw a rod
in the dark and a dog howls yot
may swt ar he is hit.
"I have not nought to disciedi
the investigating committee,'
the senator continued, but ti
warn it, and when Mr Lyon
without provoca ion, makes pub
lie iis dirty and cowardly insin
un ions that a whi-key firm gav<
me a piano, i' is pretty clear t<
my mind that let howls becaus*
he is hit. Ii was easy enougl
j for him to have found out ?1
about the piano. Mr. Malone

I* n< i itr ^ In vilw\n? l?ii Ii
M .1 ?*? ** ii v/ ill HU owiw II (im
wln? |> i d lor it and ho know:
wliou it was bought.
I note also Mr. Iaoii's pretax
for delay is that lie may look 111
to the records o' the Mill Creel
1 >isti 1 int* company to see whelh
er there are any credits."
' Mr. Lyon heard inv tesii
tnony in Coluinhia and he riiowi
1 said nothing about returning
anv money, for 1 never received
liny," said Senator Tillman. -11
the books do not show that any
money was over paid 'hey cer
tiiin 1 y do not show that any whoever
returned.
4,I want to reiterate and em
phasi/.e, in the most positive
way my beltel that the investi
gati 11 j* committee. charged with
Huc.h a ({real resD' nsihilitv.
should do its duly by deciding
at once what is lawf ul to he d? n
about these whiskey cluim*; the
more lawyers I hey write to or

It occurs to us that Mr. Lyon
