E STATE CHAIRMAN EXPRESSES | HIMSELF ainst Effort to Rule McLaurin Out of Party.-Says Senator Tillman is tVlso. 3 State. Since the talk about Senator Mc- I urin's position commenced there 3 been no eDd of chat in political cles. Recently much has been , d about the State Executive Com:tee ruling Senator McLaurin out the Democratic party. In this ek's issue of the Abbeville Press 1 Banner State Chairman Jones is :ed if he has anything to do with h an effort and censuring him and ;icising such action on his part in e he has done so. Chis, yesterday, caused Col. Jones i ?ive the following statement for | jlicatioD: "An editorial in The S88 and Banner seems to demand t I make some reply in justifica1 of the State Democratic Execui Committee and myself. Tire State Democratic Executive nmittee is composed of 41 men? ludiDg Senator Tillman, and is ; of the fairest and squarest bodies nen I have ever had the pleasure >eing connected with.

I knnw nf nn 1 son now why the committee uld be called together until next j y, when the committee will meet ;all the State convention. Personally I have frequently said j as absolutely opposed to ruling ator McLaurin out of the Demotic party and primary, aDd that 3g my position I do not see bow I ; be in any way held responsible for effort or suggestion to rule Sena- ! McLaurin out of the primary. I aot, however, speak for the com- i tee, but parenthetically I may re- ; k, without any breach of confi- ! ce, that Senator Tillman also is ; r opposed to ruliDg Senator Mc- j irin out of the primary for he as i I QS T fVlintr tV->o ?? ~11 .

I lisle's talk to the students and j ?ral hundred other people Sunday I 1-. ' r\ 3'^, vXl.! : ^ 1CSO IVI A.I1V STB ~f&4 Solicits a St u j night received very close attention. His subject was "Heavenly Visions." ! 1 suggested by Paul's sayiDg: "Where- I t- a _ T l I upoD, JViug .a.gnppa, x was uui uio- j obedieDt to the heavenly vision| | With fine force and effect he followed j ! up this line of thought. He opened I -with a few questions such as these: Can a man disobey the heavenly vis | ion? Can the creature disobey the , Creatoi? If God says thou shalt | not, can you say I wili? Can the i finite struggle against the infinite j and hope to come oft* victorious? If ; Paul had disobeyed that heavenly I vision how much would he have lost? j i What would the world have lost : through his disobedience? Young i people see visions and the glory of i their lives depends on the following ; of the ways pointed out. Blinding j lights and stunning sounds are not | necessary to visions. Anything that : breaks in on the dull, common place j life and brings it up to a higher plane ( i is ft vision. Every protest against [ the low, the grovelling, the debased, 1 j is a vision from above. Visions flash 1 from every home where there is a I good mother anxiously caring for her j children. It is said of the mother of I Phillips Brooks that she never left * C home to attend a social function unQ til her youngest child had no need of her parental care. Visions are not * wanting in this day and time. The a difficulty is that men's eyes are blind- ^ ed so that they do not see them. The safety of a man's life depends on his * 8 obedience to the visions that comes to Lr bim. Thoughts, suggestions, warnings and encouragements come in 5 rapid succession. * ^ , h State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ) gg h Lucas County f a Frank ,T.

From 1744 to 1750 there were juite a large number of persona who ;ame over from Germany and settled n the section of the State now known is Lexington. It was during this Deriod that George Eleazer came rom the banks of the Khine and ound a home in the wilderness near i hat, now historic and prosperous, | lommunity know as Spring Hill. He oon after married an attractive young ady who resided near; but became , ,t a later period involved in a serious lifficulty with one of his neighbors j nd was so unfortunate as to take is life. Fearful as to results to him- i elf if he remained he quietly left the ome of his fair youDg bride and ought refuge in the wild counties of he west. His distressed wife and is son Simeon, who was born after : is departure, never heard of him gain. One hundred and forty years fter his flight a member of the famy here received a letter from a Mr. ileazer who Jived m Tennessee in- J uiring with reference to the family j istory. Investigation revealed the ruth that George Eleazer had maried a second time in his new home ear the present city of Knoxville, nd that he had prospered and left n influential family there. Simeon grew to manhood, passed afely through the War of Indepenence and being somewhat advanced 1 years, in 1793 married a Miss deckley, and in time by the exercise f thrift and industry which was so baracteristic of those early German sttlers, as their descendants as well >r that matter, acquired a handsome rcperty. He left behind him two dds and five daughters. George rnrried Mary Addy. Polly was marked to Mr. Rey. Katie to Jacob [not. Elizabeth to David Haltiwaner.

Greenwood Index. 1 It has been suggested that Senator Tillman has on foot a plan by | 1 which Senator McLaurin will be . ruled out of the Democratic primary j j next year. We do not presume to say that McLaurin ought or ought . not to be permitted to enter the primary but we do insist that Ben Tillman, after agreeing to go in the Dem- j ocratic primary with McLaurin, after j putting his Democracy on a level with I * that of McLaurin, is certainly not the j man tn faJViar annVi a rdan T'lirthfir- ! * ? - r j more, we believe the sentiment of the State is overwhelmingly against : such buehwhacking tactics as are being indulged in by thoee who are ! afraid of McLaurin. Tillman virtu- j ally admitted that something was j needed to stem the tide which is S flowing in McLaurin's direction and | even offered himself up as the only j one who could defeat the janior Sen- i ator. The people of South Carolina j want fair play. They want to hear j all sides. They are able to do tbeir j own thinking and to decide what j Democracy means. j We believe hundreds and thousands are in the State who begin tore- I alize that the Republicans have stolen j Democratic doctrines and, having j faith in the ultimate triumph of right j and the perpetuation of American Mt{w\A?Vl/tn UAKATTA iUo PnrnV>11_ JJl llJUipiCO, UC11CTC IUOU IUC cans do not know how to apply the 1 doctrines but that the old Democratic party should return to its principles ( and furnish a practical illustration of 1 the fact that only lions can wear lion's ! skins.

There seems no immedi- | ate prospects of a settlement. The , machinists want a nine hour day j instead of ten hours and an increase , of pay. The railroads in this State j have tried the experiment of putting j _ non-union machinists, mostly foreign- j ers, in their repair shops. So far the J experiment has failed. Wherever j the union men can get to the "scabs" j as the non-union men are called, they j very readily nersuade them to quit j work. It locks now a? if the macbin- j ists would win out.

Among the rare things which particularly please the Northern people are eighteen pineapple trees bearing fruit, eight cocoanut palms that reach almost to the ceiling, a great many green and ripe cocoanucs in clusters, a quantity of palmetto fibre and two magnificient yucca gloriosa trees. In addition there is a magnificent display of oranges, grape fruit, wine, etc. Just over the entrance to the space containing the exhibit, in rustic letters i9 the sentence ''Florida Fruits."

Just dow they ]ardly know what to do with the corn Dlanted before that last cold rain in \pril. On clay or sandy soils the and was compact fn euch a manner hat it was impossible for the corn to jet out of the ground. Then it soon )ecame so hard that no sort of harow would break the crust. The ;orn that did make its way out of the jround was very small and week, saving no vitality We believe the jest thing to do in such cases ip to jlant over when the ground is in good !ondition If may also be well to Drfak Ihrough tbp middles. The ;otton seed planted before the rain jave lost their germinating power and nany farmers are planting agair. The :eed planted since the rain will givG i good stand When the rains are ight and not too frequent it is not difficult to cultivate crops, but heavy rains and continued wet weather in May and June will produce conditions that require the best thought and wisest plans. Another Granite Quarry. 3olambia Evening Record. Another granite quarry has been opened up over in Lexington opposite the city. This makes four or 6ve of the kind near Columbia, and they all seem to be doing a good business. It is said that there is a considerable demand for granite in Jacksonville and local quarry men have gotten some contiacts. But there is a greater demand for brick. It is said that local brickmakers could not bid on any contracts offered them, owiDg to j the large local demand. A Sprained Ankle Quickly Cured.

Press reports indicate that it is a general condition, not only in this State but in other Southern States as well. ? - - - . mi Farm labor is bard to get. mere does not seem to be much trouble to get tbe negroes who are still in the country to work, but the real difficulty lies in the fact that there are ! eo few negroes to hire. Day laborers ' . o.. nber 13tf HHHilSHWWinHUBMaBBBBBnBMBMiHH' have almost disappeared f?oin the farms. The re.nted farms are relatively smaller in size than fotxnerly and the tenants of these were ye^rs ago the day laborers so useful in the { times of cultivation and baive-t Now, at the beginning of the year almost every farmer has to engage a "wages hand" and the rest cf his I farm is rented cut or worked on shares. The other laborers in the country soon leave for the towns or hire themselves out on railroad work or at saw mills and the congruence is, that when the critical time ectaaea, aa at the present time, and the graee j is rampant over the farms, the extra labor needed is not to be obtained. It is impossible to get relief new, whatever remedy may be suggested. But it would be well for the farmers to profit by the experience and provide against the same trouble next year. There seems little prospect of a return of the day laborers to ihe country. The chance of a livelihood is too slim when other lines of work i can be found. The farmers will have to guard against the evil by provid ing themselves with plenty of .labor, for the crop they intend to plr?nt, at the beginning of the year. An ob- ! jection immediately presents itself in the form of the great cost such a plan would entail. A great number of small farmers would find it utterly impossible to pay out any more than they already do for labor. This, of course, is only the case where the usual routine, corn and cotton culti- j vatioD, is followed. A remedy for l' - ?- a? !l_ A mis is, aivereity 01 crops, ^vriaugc your crops so that there will always be work for your hired man to do. Don't wait for the "grassy1' season to rush labor under high pressure. Arrange the farm so that there will be need of a full head of steam all the time, and the "scarcity of labor" bugaboo will disappear like a fog before the sun. Wanted.

Q rf June 1 7 1 QH1 ?? CUOCOj u< V 5 A I Essay on Masonry. A Virginia boy was asked to write an essay on Masonry, and here ii what he wrote: "KiDg Solomon was a man who lived so many years in the country that he was the whole push. He was an awfully wise man, and one day two women came to him, each holdng to the leg of a baby and nearly * pulling it in two, claiming it. And King Solomon wasn't feeling good, ind he said: "Why couldn't the brat lave been born twins and stop this mother?" And then he called for bis nachete and was going to Weylerize he poor innocent little baby, and jive each woman a piece of it, when he real mother of the baby said: n l _ -i * t ? 9 w J stop, ooiomon, s*ay my Dana, juec be old bag bave it. If I can't have i whole babv I wont bave aDy.' Then Solomon told her to take the baby tnd go borne and wa*h its face, for le knew it was bers. He told the >tb#-r w-omaD to cba*e he'self.

It is thought that the Brooklaod >afe bh wers, whose deed was told of n The State of yesterday, are behind ;be bars. It was stated yesterday :bat two strarge white men had been oafing about the town the day before the attempted robbery, and had pre tended to be desirous of renting a place cf business, and search for these fellows began at once. Yesterday morning one of them, Joseph Preston, so he gives his name, was captured in Brookland and is in confinement there. The other fellow, who gives his name as Earry Hill, and says he hails from Jacksonville, was arrested near the JBlanding street depot here late yesterday afternoon by Special Officers Strickland and Thackam. He has been locked up here. Hill denies that he ever saw Preston, but Brookland people who have seen him identified him as the man who was with Preston in Brookland the day of the attempted robbery. Neither of the men have any thing to say about the case. "For Old Ben Every Time." Abbeville Medium. Last Monday we met a man in this city from Greenwood county who told us that he had not heard of the McLaurin and Tillman resignations. He said he'd not been reading the papers lately and was a little behind. When he heard the news he immediately said he was "for Old Ben every time." He was willing tc go into a campaign at once and said there was no necessity of putting off the fight until next year. The citizens of the town of Greenwood are the ones who are keeping up the McLaurin racket down there. The people outside of the town don't seem to have heard the news jet.
