The Abbeville Press and Banner.* BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., * WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1900. ESTABLISHED 184^8 THE ROBERTS CASE. Views or Both Side* lu tlie Matter of the I'lnb Hlifiimist. Washinjfton, Jan. 20.?The reports of th* special committee of investigation in the cas3 of Brighaai H. Roberts, of Utah, were I presented to the house to-day. The tnajurlty report, signed by Chairman Taylor aud six of bis associates Is a voluminous document and is accompanied by a summary of the law and facts. It gives the details of the hearings, the ample opportunities alfjrded to Mr. Roberts to present his case, his refusal to testify and the unanimous finding of facls, heretofore published. It proceed*: "Thecommittee is unanimous In its belief that Mr. Roberts ought not to remain a member of the bouse oi representatives. A mxjor ity are of the opinion that he ought not to be Eermltted to become a member; thnt the ouse has the right to exclude hiiu. A minority are of the opinion that the proper course of proceedure is to permit him to be sworn id anu meu "cci ?* n>u-ninuo vote under tbe constitutional provision providing for expulsion. "Your committee desire to assert with the utmost posltlveness at this point that not only is (be proposition of expulsion as applied to this case against precedent but that exclusion Is entirely in accord with principle, authority and legislative precedent, and not antagonistic to any legislative action which tbe house of representatives has ever taken. "For convenience we prenent herewith, before proceeding to exteuded argument in support of the committee's resolution, tbe following summary : "Upon upon facts stated the majority of tbe committee assert that the claimant ought not to be permitted to take a seat in tbe bouse of representatives and that the seal to which be was elected ought to be declared vacant. "Tbe minority on the other band, assert tbat be ought to be sworn in in order that f If happily two thirds vote therefor, he may be expelled. "Tbree distinct grounds for disqualification are asserted against Roberts "1. By reason of bis violation of the Edmunds law. "2. By reason of bis notorious and defiant violation of tbe law of tbe lv\nd, of tbe decisions of tbe supreme court, and of tbe proclamations of tbe presidents, holding blmsell above tbe law and not amenable to ft. "No government oould possibly exist In tbe lace oi such practices. He is In open war against tbe laws and Institutions of the country whose congress be seeks to enter. 8uob an Idea Is intolerable It Is npon tbe principle asserted in this ground that all cases or exclusion have been based. v "3. His election as representative'^ exonH nffanoioa vlnlollnn nf Ih'jfMrirlnr standing by wbiotT Utah" was ad naif as A After further argument* on the>eypHI the committee continues: vMM&l. "Tbe interesting proposition is ma&jrtbal tbe claimant be sworn in andVjS&jBLlncned oat. Upon tbe theory tbattrcpsxflml Is to permanently part company Wttn3HHbberls this is a dubious proceeding 8aoh.fW?n requires tbe vote or two-thirds of lMiMBbers We ask If such a vote is posaihlt^Kwbt in view of the following obaervitjU^^MF^ "Tbe expulsion clause of tbftjflHutatlon Is -- " 'Each house may determ^a|3j? rules ol ita proceedings, punish Its DMfHrB lor disorderly behaviors and. with ttte concurrence of two-tblrds, expel a member^:?

THE LITERARY CLUB. ; Excellent Enasy - Hospitable Entertnl Dine lit? Pleasant Evening. Last Friday night tbe Abbeville Literary Club met at tbe home o> Mr. R. M Haddnn, where a most pleasan t meeting was had. Mr J. M. warden was presiaent, aua Mr *j. u. Brown wae secretary, and a better president and a belter secretary the Club never had. The president presides at the meetings, but the secretary has much to do in (he meet logs \ and out ot the meetings. Under his administration no meeting was missed during last year. J. Fraser Lyon, Esq., read an essay on' the Boers and the war which they and the English are now waging, giving much In forma Hon in reference to a small and valorouB na Hon of people who are filling no large a place In the eyes of the peoples of the world. In the discussion It developed that there was considerable sympathy for the Boers, but we believe there was no enmity for the British. A majority were uoquailfledly in favor of England, without reference to the merit of the contest. The Club was handsomely entertained, and all eDjo.ved the good eheer Inside, notwithstanding the glooru outside which threatened rain. Mr A R.

He says tbelr oil mill has been running since tbe first of the month, but that nothing would help McCormlck more than a cotton mill. Tbe gold mine, ifitsbould develop rich again, would do that town little good, fn Mr. Stillwell's opinion, but a cotton mill would bring people and money to tbe place to stay, while the few miners would have little money to spend there and tbe gold would be taken away. McCormlck is In a good section of country, where wood is abundant and cheap, selling at one dollar a cord delivered. Tbe Charleston and Western Carolina and tbe Savannah Valley railroads make a Junction at McCormlck,giving ample facilities for transportation to tbe North ana to tbe Seaboard. A day of progress and substantial prosperity would d?wn on McCormlck if the suggestion of Mr. Stillwell could taKe root in that own, and there is no good reason why her eople should not look after tbelr Interest In his respect and to do something towards in IllDE in in meu wua uiuuey lu iuuvuruiiua, ad let thera see also that the town has faith n itself by making Investments to looking to be establishment of snob Industries within (8 domain. People must move themselves, f they would have their neighbors have hope if their doing any good, and, we repeat, McCormick can do belter than she has done If a few of her live citizens will put on some motive power to move her forward.
