These newspapers charge that Mi Crenshaw Is seeking my aid to secure a Fe( eral appointment. I denounce the assertlo as an absolute falsehood, as I have nevt seen Mr. Crenshaw. The only letter that have ever received from him that has nc been published 1 now hold In my bandi This letter will touch the hearts of ever; father and mother in this broad land, make no apology for reading this patrioti gentleman's letter, it is so pathetic an hraotlioolKo unlrll nf? nnhlfl. fihlVRlriO SOU that It will absolutely stamp as false anj thing of a sordid nature in connection wit him. LETTER OK MR. CRENSHAW. State Cahitol, Office of Kallroad Commission 01 Georgia T. C. Crenshaw, Chairman. May 17.1901. Hon. John L. McLaurln, Bennettsville, 8. C My DearSIr : The publication of my lette to you of the 25th ult., endorsing your Char lotte speech, has helped upon me a storm o abuse and misrepresentation In this State This is to be regretted more on account of tbi dogmatic condition that it evidences, thai for any harm that it can bring upon me. Ii order that you may read and Ree lor yoursel how unjustly I have been assailed, simply fo having ihe courage to express my honest con vlctlous, I band you herewith clippings frotr several Georgia papers. I especially lnvlti your attention to the outrageous publlcattoiu In the Evening News' issue of the 15th iust. headlined "Capital Democrats Hot at Cren abaw." You will observe In this publication I am charged with ulterior motives; that J am seeking a Federal appointment, and ani counting on your support. Ienteitalned the views I expressed to you In my letter ions before I knew anything ?i? to what your line of policy in tbe United States Senate would be upon any question. I can produce per sonal letters showing that I wrote to frlen'ls In Ohio and New York ou tbe subject of Mr. Bryan and bis platform, in whicb I expressed myself more extremely than I did iu either of my letters to you. I have, on different occasions, in private conversations with friends, made statements similar to those oontained In my letters to you. I stand bv all 1 have written, regardless of what they may say, and there is no power on earth that can drive me from my position. If any man in America is to be allowed to write to say what he thinks of Mr. Bryan and bis absurd cry ol imperialism, without being branded as o traitor, I certainly ought to be granted thai privilege. FEARFUL ARRAIGNMENT OF BRYAN. , I am one ot those who believe Mr. Bryanby his unpatriotic utterances concerning tbf policy of our government in tbe suppressiJ of tbe Philippine insurrection, is IndlrecM responsible lor many lives that have bfl lost, and much of tbe blood tbat has b^| shed In those islands. General Lawton s^H "If I am killed, Mr. Bryan, by the encoui^H mejt he Is giving tbe Insurgents, will b^B sponsible lor my death." jttjK I had a son, in the full vigor of his y^H munhorwi. with a thorough military e^^H Hon, wbo, through the kindness of Prei^Hft McKlnley, was made senior captain 2Sth Volunteer Infantry, He was upon by all wbo knew him, and recq^^H by all hlK superior officers, from Gener^BH Arthur down, as one of the bravest cfln In the Phlllpplue army ; be was also by the Insurgents, probably as mucb^|&? other American officer, on account^DQS daring and successful scouting lutcHn that were thought to be Impregnab^HflN mountain of Cavlte. at the Barlo of MfiB In Batangas province, on the Island oflHSSj Is stained with bis blood and brains, now sleeps in a cold and silent grave,Hu young window to struggle through II^KmK out bis help, and four little cbildr^^^H raised to womanhood wltbout a fatb^KBS tectlon.

O^RnB of tbe news of his death, his com^^KH officer Immediately issued tbe follo\^^Hz& eral order: Ill lO UU CA?5^V*avi\/U VW tain Crenshaw's death, the regi^H^K suffered au Irreparable Josn. That encomium, bat in bis case it is dese^^BHnj beautiful tribute. Tbls same offloer Id writing to mHSBNE eral H. C. Corbln, Adjt. Gen. U.

C., May 21,1901. RAIN, WIND AND HAIL STORM. On last Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock, a most destructive ball storm, accompanied by torents of rain and high winds passed through this vicinity, extending many miles In different sections, and doing great damage to cropB and fruit, literally beating corn and cotton to pieces, blowing down, tearing and tangling up wbeat and oats In a fearful manner. Many large limbs and much fruit were blown from the trees, while in some instances we heard of large frying size chickens being killed. The ball stones ranged In size from a small marble to that of a hen egg, while much of It was flat, nearlng the size of a half dollar and from % to a % ol an inch In thickness, which were driven by the wind in great heaps along the fences and sidewalks, remaining for sometime upon the ground. This was the heaviest hall storm that has visited this section in many years, the damage of which cannot yet be fully estimated. Since writing the above, we learn that the storm was fearful alone Little River, In the direction of Troy and Bradley, where it destroyed the crops entirely, blowing down fences, houses, and uprooting large trees, leaving utter desolation in Its track. The down-pour of rain also did great damage, washing away crops and all growing vegetation, leaving the fields clean. COMING AND GOING.
