Columbia, July 35.?Special: The Democratic Stale executive committee to-night, after a bard fight, passed tbe following resolution, calling on Senator McLaarln to resign at ODce: Wberms. tbe Hon. John L. McLaarln, United f. States Senator, elected to represent tbe State of Sootb Caroliua In tbe National Congress, bas by bis affiliations and votes in tbat body V , ignored tbe Democratic national platform and thereby misrepresented tbe State and bis Democratic constituency who elected bim: Therefore, be it Resolved, Tbat it Is tbe sense and conviction of tbe Democratic State executive committee tbat Senator J. L. McLauric. from tbe standpoint of honesty and selfrespect, should 4 tender bis unqualified resignation immediately. It was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. The actlOD, being tnat ol men who largely attend State conventions, may mean tbat similar views will be adopted by tbe next State Convention. Tbe rriends of McL*ur:n bad a hard time and of the five who voted to kill the resolution some took occasion to say they did so simply because they did not believe it was tbe time or place to ask for Senator McLaurin's resignation. Senator Tillman was, naturally, tbe moving spirit behind tbe resolutions condemning IP JlCi^aurm hou iokiuk lur uis mixusuuu. The Slate committee called the primary to fill the place of Congressman Stokes for Sep tember 10, bat the calling ot tbe primary and tbe arrangements for tbe canvass were entirely overshadowed by tbe McLanrln Incident. Tbe Richards resolution condemning Senator McLanrln, and asking for bis resignation, was passed by tbe following vote: To kill tbe lesolation : Loais Appelt, A. J. A. Perrltt. N. B. Dral, A. G.

Bleaae, W. O. Tatum, R. D. Lee, J. C. Wllborn Mr. J. Perry Glenn was execused from voting and said: "I did not vote for tbe resolution to ask Senator McLaurln to resign bis seat in tbe United States Senate Tor tbe reason that tbe constitution of the party was fixed by tbe people and tbe people will decide tbe matter in the next primary." Senator Tillman was severe in his denunciation of McLanrln. The committee refused to table the resolution, 21 to 5, and adopted it by the same The resolution asking for McLaarln'R resignation was offered by Richards, and was a substitute for that of Magil), and tbe Magiii resolution was dropped, Ricbards's having been adopted. PROCEEDINGS IX DETAIL. Arrangements Hade for the Seventh District Primary. Columbia, July 25.?Special: The State Democratic committee was called to order by Chairman Wilis Jones, who slated the purpose of tbe meeting, which was to provide lor a primary to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Congressman Stokes. Hk> 4 A BOMB IN THE CAMP. erI^' After this matter was settled then came the sensation of the evening. It was a bomb thrown Into tbe camp of Commercial Democracy and was aimed at it. Mr. Magill proKgC; posed the following: "Be it resolved. That, in addition to taking; the regularly prescribed oath to abide tbe result of the primary, all candidates for Congress In tbe special primary pledge themselves to support and advocate at members ol V^UUKICDO MiC ttuu UUC11IUU3 Ui IUC Democratic parly as promulgated Id the national and State platforms until the same Bball have be?n regularly changed by a convention of the party. "Resolved further. That the candidates pledge themselves to support the action ol BjiEi the Demooratlf! caucus." Mr. Appelt said he saw no occasion now for SS.-, a change of the pledge. The constitution tlxSS& ed the pledge. At the lastState Convention he K \ wanted an amendment to the pledge so as to ?; \ require an obligation to the State and nationiv" \ al platforms. The pledge was now snlScient r \ and the committee has no right to make any tr.- \ change. He had no objection to the resolu?}." , ^ Hon; his flght would be entirely in the parly S '? \ and he could not be forced out of the Demofr1-, \ cratlc party. \ Mr. Magill said this was a day of advance\ merit. No objection could be made to the Vesolutlons by aoy good Democrat, and the constitution allowed the party to look to the b?st Interests of the "policy" of this party. The man who refuses to tase the proposed oath has no right to run in the coming primary for Congress. There was nothing in the oonstllutlon in conflict with the resoln liOD. \ jfe Mr. Agppelt said that the constitution can noi be changed and be did not tblnk tbe oath ought ta be ohanged or could be amended by tbe committee. Mr. DlaH opposed tbe resolution on tbe ground that he did not believe in tieing up a Congressman or binding him to dead issues : Mr. SmltbV opposed the Magill resolution on tbe ground that as It was an unexpired term be sboulcfvtake the same oath Dr. Stokes itook. v Mr. Williams, of Aiken, wanted strict adberence to the pkmy platform. If the platform is wrong it caji only be changed In tbe convention. \ Mr. Lafltte, of Danmark, said there were true and tried Democrats in this State who would stand here and proclaim that they would not swallow 16 toil. All should be allowed to go before tbe people and let tbem judge. We are all wbitts people. If he had the Congressman's Job in bis pocket be would take It out throw it down and stamp upon it, befoie be blmseir would sVxllow 16 to 1, H he were a gold standard lAemocrat and believed In tbat policy as agalust free silver. Mr. Tatum said he was from\he ith district and favored tbe resolution. Any man opposed to 16 to 1 would never see the lnat.iA ni the halls of Congress from that district. Mr. Appelt wanted to know wf?y not put voters on the same exclusion basis;, bi, Mr. Tatum said If a man w&nted t6 vote the Republican ticket he could dolt in\anotber Rfe- way. \ Mr. Perrlt wanted to know If the committee oould recall -Senator McLaurin, for Instance. Mr. Maglll had no such Idea. They cou'd only act in the light of experience, and jhat was why he wanted this resolution, "5rhe State Convention was far away yet, and tbe>xe were dangerous ennuics lurking in ttoe camp \ Mr. Kitchen said If these resolutions were intended to bit McLaurin why not come out and say so? Be men and come out. He did not believe In tying our Congressman. When the Issue comes up he would vote for It. He opposed the resolution because of Its one sided character. Mr. Perritt opposed the resolutions because I they were simply additional verbiage. If a man wanted tu be a traitor be would do so In ;-V \ spite of oaths. It looked as If tbere was a 8U8plcjon that some candidate tn tbe 7th district would be a traitor. He saw no reason (or this. If tbe resolution Is Intended for another purpose tbey should make tbe lBsue squarely. Mr. Richards said that while he intended to vote for the reFolutlon he thought tbe resolution indirect and, therefore, offered tbe lol. , lowing: z? ' asti-m'lalein resolution. "Whereas, the Hon.

Mr. Richards said he was aware that the i Legislature had failed to pass such a resolu- <* ! tion, unwisely Introduced at that time. He H thought that motion was a reflection upon i the distiuqulehed Senior Senator from South Carolina. He said he and his people feU that ^ McLanrin was trailing the Democratic flag in I the dust and he was man enough to say so. PF Mr. Appelt moved to lay both resoiutsons upon the table. | Senator Tillman said he hoped no one 1 would attempt "to gag us here." Gi I Mr. Appelt disclaimed any such Intention. SENATOR TILLMAN'S SPEECH. { Senator Tillman said that in the debate at V1 : Gaflney a circumstance had arisen that led to I I Lie ICUUCi Ul LUC iciitumiuun ui .utununu and himself and all knew what followed, j "Now, we are either Democrats here In thin M i room or we are not. We are the representatives of the Democracy. Had MoLaurln, had this man, cast his vote in the United States ri< : Senate In accordance with the will and de? I sire of the people of this State? Who will M dare stand up here and say that he has done of i so? But I know something about It. He has i voted on important matters with the Re ! publican party since ine treaty with Spain Si ; was ratified by his vote. Is this what you call Democracy and Is that what yon call a ta Democrat? I have remained quietly in my seat and seen him confer time and again a? with Republicans. Now we are engineers w! 1 and we are in charge of the Democratic train, ! and we must guide It safely into ihe Demo- at 1 cratic station. The emergency has arisen su j and we must act here and now see the train : safely through. We must protect the party ds I Interest from treachery.'' ! Senator Appelt interrupted here to ask wl 1 Senator Tillman If he thought the committee M had any right to amend the pledge provided j is the Constitution. CI : Senator Tillman said: "I am not discussing H that pledge resolution. I am discussing the Important substitute which has just been offered and which carries the discussion Into a b* wider field. I want tosay here and now that i McLaurln's Iriends have two means of redress. Ai I This year when things started out we were lb told that we were going to have peace and 1 harmony for one summer at least. But'peace sti | and harmony' won't come when there are I sneaks and thieves and traitors going around Tt j and hiring Hessians and distributing gold and j buying np newspapers. I am fully aware of C'1 ; what I am saying and I know whereof I er ' SDeak." ' er I Mr. Appelt: "SenatorTillman, I can't un- of derstand what you mean. I know nothing of ] all this. I am a friend of Senator McLaurlu ln | and I am here to say so." br j Senator Tillman, turning upon Mr. Appelt: j i "I knew tbat you belonged to him heart and Tl i soul." J I Mr. Appelt very plainly declared that he ** [ had always been a very warm personal friend da j and supporter of Mr. McLaurin, and that he w, j had been equally as warm a supporter ot J j Senator Tillman, and had supported him bs ln I loyally as anyone else, and h? did not care to wj I impugn Senator Tillman's motives or have J ' the Senator impugn his. th Senator Tillman remarked that Mr. Appelt Ai 1 must have thought that the cap Tit him, for J I be had sal<f nothing concerning him. Referr- ln, ' Ine again to McLaurin's proprietorship of < Mr. Appelt, Senator Tillman said : "Ob, it is : understood that you have been 'My Dear Ap- J I pelt'to him for many years." to I Mr. Appelt: "Yes, to both you as well as to lh, McLaurin." J There was more cross-firing between Till- vl man and Appelt, and Tillman continued: "But the issue Is not as to men; Instead it Is ! one of Republicanism, and Republicanism of ] the most damnable kind." He said tbat if yc j McLaurin bad come squarely out he would at j have bad some respect tor him. Even now, ta claiming to be a Democrat, he goes to Cbar M lotte and abuses Democrats by the very R< name. Even the Republican papers of the M country said that the doctrines that he advo- so cated were pure Republican doctrines. His ui ineiiuo arc up auu uuwu iuc cubic u j- 4 jing these doctrines. McLaurln is bound to wi the Democratic party by bis pledge; bound to 16 to 1 or bust, and all that it yon will, ne What I want now is for you to pass this reso- be lutlon and let all Democrats go lorth labelled, M so that they may be known to all." J Senator Tillman here referred Indirectly to In remarks made earlier by Mr. Lafltte, having w understood him to say that he bad repudiated tbe 16 to 1 plan. Mr. Lafltte explained that be had been misunderstood and explained himself fully on the point. He disclaimed that he repudl- of ated Bryan Democracy, and asserted thai what be had said was preceded by a ?tate- i ment that If he were a sound money Demo- ' crat he would do so and so. ii Senator Tillman then said that a man sent to Congress by the Democratic party should < ' not misrepresent the party. Another redress for McLaurin would be for him and all bis ,h" friends to use all their effortB, legitimate and K illegitimate, to secure the election of Com- j merclal Democrats to the next State Conven- ?u tlon. It was for the people to be heard, and he B tied his faith to tbe people. If the Convetion, >n perchance, could not be kept true to Democ- fri racy, then the people themselves could speak at the polls in November and rectify the wrong. Mr. Dial^sald that this committee, he 1 and Senator MoLaurln would pay no at ten al , tlon to It: so what was the use to waste time? Wj Senator Tillman: "Certainly, we do not ey expect him to do so." P' MryBlease said he favored one-half of the resolution, but the other he did not: J" Mr. Gunter: "Let's see if that resolution M can be cut in half." (Laughter.) Mr. Blease said that be was willing to con- CC deran the course of Senator McLaurin in the 811 State, but was not willing to vote for the resoutlou requesting his resignation, as the com- of mittee had no right to do so as he viewed It. th He moved to strike out the words asking for w McLaurln's resignation. Mr. Cunningham moved to table this proposition and this was done; only three seemed I to vote for the division of the resolution. ec i Mr. Appelt renewed bis motion to table the ly 1 whole Richards resolution. di Dr. Smith seconed the resolution. fe , Senator Tillman demanded a yea and nay vote upon the question, as he wanted to settle the whole matter. The vote resulted 21 to 5 against tabling the gu resolution, and the Richards resolution was ^ then adopted without further protest by a ^ viva voce vote. rn This wound up the business of the meeting tll and an adjournment was voted.

''Revival of Till, man Tactic*". 'cl ' Greenville, July 2G?special: The action of tfc the Democratic committee asking Senator ' McLaurin to resign has been the absorbing subject for discussion to-day. J The Senator is on the top of Paris Mountain ai enjoying the cool mountain air, and, so far as H( cau be learned, Is giving no attention to the V> 1 matter. During the day a large number of dj citizens were asked their opinion regarding the action of the commitee, and it seemed D) ; almost unanimous that the leading men of Jt 1 the city considered the action ai exceeding ' the authority of the commitee, and many of 0. 1 the most astute politicians express the opln.. ion that the commitee simply obeyed the or- ??, \ders of Senator Tillman. I oeverai woo Dave Heretofore opposed Mc- 0| I r.aurln In his present political position assert I tLat It was persecution, a revival of the Till| ma-n tactics, the TUlman-Irby aDd Shell I methods of 1890, and that they would now support McLaurln. One lODg headed politic] Ian. who Is taking no active part In politics I at thl&tlme. said that the whole thing was a Tl Bcheme'., of Tillman to get McLaurln off the track, that the senior Senator was afraid of McLaurlfc* and prefers to kill him by com- * . mltee method than by discussion on the so stump, ana so it goes. r Tillman gets the credit of manipulating the al executive comroltee and making the commltee do his work. So far as Greenville iR ! concerned the .ictlon of the committee is de- ce | nounced as high-handed and without authority, and will do him (MoLaurin) more good ; j than harm. , Hi Send your shlrU. collars and cuffs to C. i*.

Mwrhlne WrllM on the Action of tbe Klnle Demorrnllr Commit* toe, Hermitage, Lowndesville. S. C., July 29th. 1901. E.litor Press and Banner, Abbeville, S. C. : I I>earSir: Toe scientist* have found oui thatttbe sidereal system established by the Creator of the 1'nlverse Is governed by the laws of attraction an<t gravitation. They have also discovered that the stars are divided lu'o groups or constellations, each one of them under the superior influence of a jtnain star or sun of some description which attracts the minor stars and around which the latter gravitate. The constellation knowD In Sooth Carolina as-the State Democratic Executive Committee" was in session on the 35th of this month and from certain resolutions passed by that body, every South Carolinian Is apt to judge with his naked eye that B. R. Tillman is always the main star. His power of attraction has not diminished, and his satellites are still gravitating around him as before. The sky of South Carolina is undisturbed, as oi yore. B. R. Tlllmau dictates. So the junior Senator Is excommunicated. The Pope and his Vicars have pronounced the sentence, amen! This act of the Slate Democratic Executive Committee may bring forth gome Luther or Calviu who wilt demonstrate that the committee has exceeded Its powers and who will reinstate the Democratic faith upon its true and primitive basis. But let us suppose that McLaurln submits to the resolution of the committee, to vindicate himself and to clear away all the doubts and distrusts which the resolution of the committee has Insinuated as to his character and his conduct. He will be bound to rue for re-election. The South Carolinians may see in the resotlon of the committee a mere persecution; they are neither slaves nor unjust people, and as the voters have sometime ways of their own, they may give McLaurln a vote of confidence, and he may be re-elected. What may happen then, may be nothing short of a total eclipse of the sun of South Carolina and of his satellites. SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE DARK. Surely the gentlemen of the committee must be very certain of the victory, otherwise they would have hesitated to expose their Stale to such a late and to pat upon the shoulders of their constituents unnecessary additional taxes, to say nothing of the trouble of a somewhat untimely compaign. In the North one may be Democrat the other Republican and both enjoy equally the friendship of their fellow-countrymen. In the South It is very dlflerent: Here Democrat means patrou of the white man. r? ,Kn nnH ivcpuuiiuau UJCBU9 pniiuu WI vut uvfctv, nuu R8 such traitor to bis own race. To tbe present time tbe South has been Democrat by necessity and in self-dense, because tbe North is Republican, and it may be said truly that under said conditions tbe Southerners have cared very little about politics in general and about the Democratic platforms in particular. If tbe committee In ruling McLaurln out of tbe Democratic parly succeeds la tbrowlng him in the ranks of tbe Republican party they have won, because tbe soie fact of being a republican here means the enemlty of tbe white voters. But the dilemna is not "Demoorat or Republican." Between tbe two propositions there is a considerable margin; tbere is room for various shades of Democracy, tbere la also room for a new name and a new banner under which the progressive men of the South can enlist themselves without fearing to be called tbe enemies of their race. Since, ana as a consequence 01 me ?phqibu war, questions of supreme Importance have risen lor the South ; meantime the North (or Republicans.) seem to be disposed to leave to the South the solution of the negro problem, hence something like a new era, an era of political liberty seems to be dawning for the Southerners who will therefore soon be in the obligation to quit their neutral attitude and be called to enter the political arena. Who can predict which will be their banner? The southern progressists may see their ranks filled with Democrats who do notshare the views of the State Democratic Executive Committee and with those wno, though not admitting the Democratic or Republican doctrines or platforms altogether think that there is more than one way to work for the development and the grandeur ol their country, aud who want to enjoy the privilege and the liberty of expressing their opinions without being obliged to kneel belore a dictator or a body of dictators. Tnis McLaurin incident may be but a passing cloud; it may also bring unexpected consequences. Yours truly, E. C. Meschlne. For Sale?Seven shares in Farmers' Bank, Abbeville. Address.
