The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. A TtRT?VTT,T.T<\ ?_ ^-Published every Wednesday' at 82 a year In advance. Wednesday, June 19, 1901. Ih Wilie JoncM n Party to Thin? It is evident that Tillman Is badly scared as to the political future. Instead of meeting the people face to face and showing the justice of his contention, does he prefere, with closed doors and in secret session to make tbe Democratic State Executive Committee a tool to accomplish by trick that which he may be unable to do by appeals to the common sense of the people. The effort to take an undue advantage of MolAurin is a small matter. It is of very little concern whether he Is in the race or not. The wrong which is intended primarily against him Is really an injustice to the great mass of the people. Any interference with the freedom of speech, and any effort to prevent tbe people from a full expression o! their wishes at the ballot is bosslsm. pure and simple. As the leader of a great movement ten years ago, Mr. Tillman was a hero. Now, as a schemer, in trying to hoodwink the people, by depriving them of their rights, he assumes the role of a boss. When Mr. Tillman started out on his crusade he was a farmer, wishing only to-secure the rights of the people. He sucoeeded to a wonderful degree and became a hero?the Idol of the great mass of the people?whose word was law with them. But a period often years in the highest offices within the gilt of the people, and his absolute ownership, or guardianship of their rights, seemed to have turned bis bead, and It would appear, wben his power is waning that be would hold by strategy that which he cannot maintain In an open and frank appeal to the people. In this la6t movement of Mr. Tillman against the rights and liberties of the people, be seems to have disregarded a number ol bis old and staunch friends by assembling around blm a new lot of followers, who might assist him in his sleight of hand performance behind closed doors. In the following dispatch, which was sen! out from Columbia, it will be noticed tbat It Is sought to associate Col. Wllie Jones wilb tbe triok. Mr. Tillman recognizes tbe respectability and tbe esteem In wblob tbe cbalruian of tbe committee Is beld by tbe people. If, therefore, Mr. Tillman and bis associates, could seoure tbe co-operation of ( such a man as Col. Jones, tbey would have gained a strong point In tbelr favor. But Col. Jones bas a good reputation. He Is popular wltb tbe people. HIb oonnlvance at Mr. Tillman's plans against tbeir rights and liberties is something tbat a gentleman of Colonel Jones's standing could not afford. Col. JoneB Is a deservedly popular man. He has kept himself aloof from tbe dark lantern methods of the politician, and be could not Join a nefarious schema against tne rights of tbe people, without compromising his own , self respect and forfeiting tbe good will of those who have so Justly honored him. Columbia, June 17.?Senator Tillman's friends think be bas quietly fixed tbe cards for Senator McLaurln to draw a blank next summer without even haying a chance to win. Instead of rnling McLaurln out of the party, a method that would raise a rumpus In the state, and might cause serious trouble tbe Junior senator Is to be made to rule himself out. Tillman was opposed to the executive committee ruling out McLaurln, on the ground that It would give blm an advantage before tbe people. He oould declare himself a democrat and nay Tillman was afraid to allow the people bear him; afraid to allow them to be tbe Judge. It has therefore, been planned to let the oonvention, tbat meets next May to organize party machinery, make a new prlmary that can be taken by all candidates except McLaurln. Tbla oatb, heretofore, bas been designed to cover tbe stale matters only, tbe candidate pledging himself to abide tbe result of a primary and support the new ones. For MoLaurin's benefit it will be amended so as to pledge tbe support of the national demrvrot S n nlof fnrm In all 11 a nlan Lra ontr nniDlcHcr. lng tbe platform us tbe mouthpiece of tbe party and pledging: j?1bo to abide by tbe caucus votes. McLaurln havicg declared so strongly against both tbese, Tillman supporters declare be oannot take tbe oatb, and unless be does be cannot participate in tbe primary or be voted for except at a general election. Tbe plan leaked out after Senator Tillman and Colonel WUle Jones, Chairman of tbe state executive committee, spent a couple of day6 together. MoLaurln's course, under tbese circumstances, bas not yet been defined, but It is already taken by bis friends as evident tbat tbe organization is afraid of MoLaurln's strength. Governor M.B.McSweeney was asked today whether be indorsed this scheme of ruling out McLaurln. He would not commit himself, saying tbat be was not a member of tbe commltee and did not care to get tangled up In tbe matter. He would say, bowever, that ' unless a man would standby tbe platform and be governed by a caucus, be could not claim to be In tbe party. State Chairman Jones said he did not think tbe present executive commltee would take any action about McLaurln. Tbe conven uon ana new oommltee will be Id control long before the campaign is opened for next year. "Nothing will be done now," he Raid, "unless AlcLaurln goes to cutting up too much Id the state tills summer. Then any five members of the committee can have It called together and take what action they may see lit." Has the Honest Farmer of Ten Yearn Ago. Turned Political Trickster T "Senator Tillman's friends think be has quietly fixed the cards for Senator McLaurln to draw a blank next summer, without even having a chance to win." If yoo can, think of General Hampton, or any other of South Carolina's honored leaders making expression like that. The-trlck is not so mnch against McLaurln as it is an effort to cheat the people of their right at the ballot box. Senator Tillman, as the farmer who had no desire for office, was Indeed a hero. He talked to the people face to faoe, bfit since he has had offloe, he seems to have changed his tactics. Wire-pulling, bosslsm, secret sessions of the Democratic committee, and JobB on the people, were some of the cries of honest Ben Tillman, but Senator Tillman is relying upon tbe ability of quietly, or secretly, fixing tbe cards so that the suffrage of tbe people may be defeated. The trick may possibly succeed, but we do not believe It. The Exeoutive Committee may try a boss Job on their confiding constituents, but we do not believe they will willingly Incur tbe contempt of all fair dealing men. < Oversight. Last week in noting some of the McLaurln newspapers we Inadvertantly omitted several worthy papers, and among them the Yorkville Enquirer, which is king of all the papers 1 with which we are acquainted. It is nicely printed. It is ably edited. It Is honest and fair. The support of the Enquirer 1b a tower of strength to any cause. Tbe mere fact that ( the Enquirer supports or approves a cause Is enough to convince Its readers that there is virtue in it. The Enquirer is one of tbe most 1 outspoken supporter of the real Democracy i of the State. ' Tbe Cotton Mill. Work on the addition to tbe cotton mill is I searing completion. Tbe bouse was finished j some time ago, ana many nation nave smct; been busy placing tbe machines for service. < Tbey are now about ready, and tbe new I wheels will begin to tarn at once. Every- I tbing Is reported as going smoothly, and men ( and machines fere going without Jar or interruption. On tbe streets some transfers of shares In tbe capital stock bave been made lately, the lowest price that we bave beard being SO cents. When the new machinery iB < put in motion, and when the China trade is well opened up, friends of the mill think tbe tbe stock will go booming.

The greatest Southern statesman Is conceded the country over to be John T. Morgan of Alabama. It was this intellectual giant and great exponent of Democratic principles who, while making hit light In the United States Senate for measures, regardless of wblcli party Introduced them, brought down upon nls head the bitterest of opposition. The politicians raised the cry of treachery and the newspapers joined the chase to hound Morgan down, that through prejudice, abuse, misrepresentation and vlllldcatlon they could bring about bis downfall with the people. Morgan remained at his post In Wash* inijton without a word while the politicians were enjoying their conspiracy against dim unobstructed. When the primaries came ofl Governor Johnson took the field against Morgan and notwithstanding Johnson had all 01 the court house officials together with hundreds of appointees, and nearly all of the newspapers to help him, and besides, for months the people had their minds ailed with charges of "Republicanism" against Morgan, the result was that Johnson failed to carry a single oounty in the State not excepting bis 1 Knma flrtnntr ci r H \f m>rvan nrno vai uwiuo vuuub/t OUU iuuijjou vrc?o 1CIU1 UOU IU the United States Senate a stroDger man with the people than ever belore. Here la what he saysabout John L.MoLaurln, with reference to iheTlllinan-McLaurtn controversy: "Both men are good Democrats. 1 have no reason to doubt either man, and I consider Senator McLaurin one of the ablest men in the Senate. He Is young, he is modest; but i he Is very able. I cannot think of one instance where McLaurin has bad his Democracy challenged. One may vote for or i against subsidies?but all Democrats in the Senate vote for a subsidy at one time or i another and in one way or another?and still be a true Democrat. I consider the man progressive who faces each aud every public i question as it comes up and tries to solve it tor himself. Yet, we have our stereotyped ] Democrats.

I think there are many such j Democrats in this country today, and we shall not misjudge them. Therefore, no one can say that this man is not a good Democrat, or that man is not because be may vote for or againRt some bill In the United States Senate, or in the lower house which may appear to 1 Involve directly tne Democratic or Republl- ] can principles. "I voted for the treaty of Paris not because , Mr. Bryan was on band working for it; but ' because I thought it my duty ; J talked and i argued against the ship subsidy bill because 1 thought it outrageous and an imposition; but as I spoke against It the Cotton Growers' i association of the south passed a resolution favoring It. That shows there Is a diversity of vlewson this question In the south as well as in the north. I do not think that Senator McLaurln's Democraoy can be safely chalIGD "when I read this morning of the two Senators, I thought It peculiar that two men of experience such aa they are should deliberately invite political suicide, and Just to see who will be there first at the resurrection rhe outcome may be different than either ^ne thinks.

The avowed effort to control the Executive Committee In behalf or Tillman and against McLfiurlu seems to be the first act for ten years which would seemingly have the tendency to Impair public confidence In tbe party officers. If these men who were elected or chosen, to represent the interests of tbe whole Democratic party would hold themselves above suspicion, it seems that a man like Wille Jones should correct any Imputation that the State Democratic Committee would give countenance to tbe ''fixing of cards" fpr or sgainst anybody. They should resent any effort to Induce them to assume responsibility for disreputable or dishonest tricks. The people ought to have confidence in the honesty and integrity of the party officers. Can this be maintained, if such talk of "fixing cards" is to go unrebuked ? Should tbe Committee give their ear to factional issues, or should they act for tbe whole people? No charge of corruption has ever been made against any party officer, and we hope tbe same high stands may continue. Open and unblushing talk of "fixing cards1' by trusted officers is something new In South South Carolina politics. -4 ? It Mr. Tillman and Col. Jones could fix up an affidavit requiring McLaurln to make oath that bis grandmother never bad the measles, they might very properly crowd tbe junior Senator out of the race. Does the proposed effort on the part of McLaurln's enemies to rule him out of the race deserve or merit the respect of a decent free negro ? ? Is there an honest man In South Carolina who wants to take a sneaky advantage of McLaurln ? If so, let him submit his plan to the State Democratlo Executive Commute, where the effort will fail. ? * > ? DESTRUCTIVE RAINS, Great Private and Public Loss. The rains last week did great damage to the terming lands. In places gullies were cut aod in other places the lop soil was carried away. In addition to the Iocs incurred by landowners, the County lost much In bridges. Supervisor Nickles makes a very conservative e?timate of the losses sustained by this County : On Rocky RiverTruss bridge from Antrevllle to Iva, built last year, washed down stream a mile. Trust* oriuge ai nam djui, icei luu^t washed off the benches, and lodged In bottom, near by. New bridge at Price's mill, Id course of construction. All piers were finished. One span of 10S feet was finished, except cover and weatherboarding. Not having been completed one end of tbe span bad not been bolted to the pier. Two of the piers were nearly demolished. The span was washed down stream about a hundred yards. Material to finish tbe bridge was ou tbe ground, nearly all of which was carried away. The rook abuttmenis?32 feet on one side and 12 oo the other side?were washed laway. This bridge was being built by tbe Supervisor, and tbe damage Is estimated at 8700. Next below Price's mill Is tbe Iron bridge at Iiowndesvllle. The approaches?280 feetwas washed down stream irom 25 to SO yards. Supervisor Nlckles thinks this bridge will be ready for crossing by the middle of next week. At Young mill, the approaches were wrecked and washed away. The truss was not damaged. Swearlngln's mill bridge, was damaged? one span being washed away. On Saluda River? At bridge at Mattox mill, sixty feet of the approaches on the Abbeville side were washed away. On Broadmoutb? Tbe truss bridge was damaged. Tbe abultments were washed out. UQ rumey ^reea? Two bridges were damaged. Name of creek not knownBridge at Cllnkacalea mill was damaged. Several other creek and gulley bridges were washed away. Supervisor Nickles thinks that $.'$,000 may cover the damages, but he Is not quite sure that the damages may not exceed that sura.
