THE EEPT-' Ttiurlow . ' v. rter IS".? I'O'rl A '\NAGFR WKDNKSDAY .11I.Y 7, 1897. The intimation of Mr Irby in nn interview, published elsewhere, that the editor of The State had dictated to the present Governor tlie appointment of Mr McLanrin as U S Senator is thus denounced by Editor Gonzales: "The intimation which Mr Irby makes is wholly untrue. The editor oi The State has not dictated nor attempted to dictate to Governor Ellerbe who should be senator. The suggestion is as absurd as il is false." Irby's Scheme. Irby lovos Keform now, bill "Hose" Crews, his henchman, used to charge that he combiner with the ant is to secure his election to tin4 constitutional convention and conspired with them foi the downfall of the licforin movement. True, "Hose" could well dispute with Larty the right and title to the palm of supremacy in lying which their mutual friend, John Irby. once bestowed upon (iantt. but it is probable that lu> o:imo nearer tolling tlio truth tlion than ho usually does. 11* Irby thinks ho can fool the people of South Carolina into thinking the election of himself or one of his creatures to the Cnitcd States senate is necessary to save the Reform movement, he is going to waste a lot of time, money and energy by entering the senatorial campaign. When the movement is reduced to such dire straits, the decent Reformers will conclude that it is not worth saving.? Co lumbia Record. r ji ' A l)ie Record Smashed. Greenville News, July 4. In the "Twentieth Century1 * has appeared an article with .fudge Simonton as a text. Neve** before were in so brief a space so many absurd lies gathered together. The Charleston Cost u?s in this State to call attention to them and to expose them. To people who know anything of .lodge Simonton, they need no contradiction, hut The News regrets to say that several South Carolina newspapers have reproduced the shameful and libelous article without denouncing it an<l without putting their readers on guard against its manifold falsehoods. Among other lies is one thai Judge Simonton is a speculator it the New York exchanges. Anoth er is that ho is worth betweei half a million and a million do! lnrs. A third is that he is ; friend of the attorney of tin "Whiskrv Ring.'1 The plair object of the conscienceless liai who penned the article was e?i dent!v to create the opinion thai Judge Simonton is improperly in tin rood iit his decisions, hut great a- this lie was. he was unfortunately a still greater fool; so thai the absurdity of his whole misrepresentation is not concealed. W hv. the idiot even declares that Senator Tillman was at one time a Judge. Decent newspapers which have re pro* I need the article will doubt Icss call attention to the falsehoods with which it is saturated, so that they may not deceive any reader. England and Australia are the only islands which exceed Cuba in natural resources. When not wasted by war Cuba produces,1 with a large share of her soil untouched, #100,000,000 worth of sugar and tobacco annually besides the products of orchards and forests, rivers and mountain mines.
