M ANNING, S. C.:
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15, 1896.
It is indeed gratifying to us to
read the editorial in the Marion Star
commending the course of our friend,
Congressman John L. McLaurin, and
we reproduce this editorial because
it has been rumored in this section
that McLaurin was a "dead duck" in
Marion. The people of Marion as
well as the people of the entire sixth
district have listened to the various
reports against McLaurin eminating
from jealous politicians, and it has
caused them to watch their repre
sentative the closer, but the more
firmly are they convinced that his su
perior is not in the State and his
equal would be hard to find. They
know that no truer representative of
the people sits upon the floor of the
national Congress, and they know
that in John McLaurin the people
who sent him have every reason to
feel proud.
It is not only the Marion Star that
speaks highly of our Congres-man,
but every newspaper in the State
not controlled by some jealous poli
tician, and his name and fame have
extended beyond the borders of the
United States.
The following is what the Star
says:
McLXAURIN S PROMOTION.
Hon. John L. McLaurin seeins to have
made quite a favorable impression and to
have achieved a real triumph in Congress.
A position on the Wars and Means Com
mittee is one very much to be coveted, and
indicates that the man who succeeds in
winning such an appointment. even though
he be a minority member, has achieved for
him a distinction of which he may justly
feel proud.
We publish elsewhere in this isue an
historical review of South Carolina's repre
sentation on that responsible committee,
from the time when it was first created, one
hundred years ago. From the date of the
appointment of Representative Smith, from
the Pinckney district, in -1794. to the re
tirernent of Fran is W. Pickens in 1841. a
period of 47 -years, the name-< of South Car
olina membe-rs were prominent on this im-.
*portant committee.
*Among the members of the Ways and
Means Committee for the last century will
be found the names of Miessrs. Nott, Wil
and last. but not least, the name of Hon.
Jno. L. McLaurin, who will serve the 6th
District during the Fif ty-fourth Congress.
Well may Congressman McLaurin reel
complimented at his public recognition,
and his admiring constituency elated at
hisrecent promotion, when they realize
the fact that he is the only South Caroli
rian who has held a seat on this all-impor
tant committee within the last half a cen
tury.
Old T. C. Willoughby, of Flor
ence, one of the penitentiary direc
tors, is niaking war on Colonel Neal,
the superintendent of the institution,
Willoughby charges extravagance
and hints at corruption. This is not
a surprise to those who know Wil
loughby, for it is his very nature to
kick when he is not allowed to run
things according to his own idea. The
other directors of the penitentiary
compliment Colonel Neal upon the
excellence of the institution's man
agement. We suspect Willoughby's
comoplai nt is brought about from a
desire to be Neal's successor, and if
he only knew it, he stands about as
mch chance for it as a man in
Pennsylvania.
We have had a chance to watch
Mr. Willoughby's course from the
time he lived in Williamsburg county
to the present; his whole course
has been one of contention and snarl
ing at those above him. He pre
teuded great friendship for Mc
Lauiin and when he asceitained that
MicLaurim: was a man who would not
be led by the nose with Wil
oughby or any other nman at the oth
er end of the string, lhe became ore
of McLauriu's bitterest enemies and
no slander was too great for him to
promulgate.
Willoughby's onslaught on Neal
will have no weight in this section
and especially among those who have
an intimate knowledge of the man
and his methods, but as he has made
charges of a public nature we art
satisied that no man in the State
would be more willing for an investi
gation than Colonel Neal.
The Legislature now in session
will have lots of hard work to do,
and it wvill take them a much longer
time to properiy do the work than
eretofore, for the reason that laws
must he made to fit the new Consti
tution. We expect for some aspir
ants for political honors to try to
poison the minds of the people with
the length and expense of the present
session, but the people will not be
fooled. Every man with a particle
of intelligence knows the' present
session will be an extraordinrary one,
and the members, be they as econom
ical :ts ihey vsiil, must necessarily in
cr a considerable expense-a much
greater expense t han for ordinary ses
sions. In our judgment it will be
much better, and' economy in the end
for the General Assemly to remain
i session three months an~d do their
work thoroughls, than to hurry
through and get the work done in a
helter-selter manno~r. There i< no
doubt about it, thiat this year will
bring forth a br,,e cr-op of candi
dates. Every one- o them will have
some special comrplaiut to ring in the
ears of the flei. hut let them come
and the p~eople will be able to sift
ot the chaf
Watch the men who join the "white
man's Republican party" and you
will find them to be ex-bar-keepers
and politicians repudiated beyond
re:lemption among their own people.
Tbey will "cut no ice" in State poli
ties and if the Republican party is
true to those that have always been its
loyal supporters, these white place
hunters will be sadly disappointed.
1* 4-0-1-4
Every man suggested so far for the
presidency in both the Republican
and Democratic parties is in favor
of the gold standard, and it begins
to look now as though a third party,
will be forced, in order to get a can
didate representing the views of a
large percentage of the laboring peo
ple. The next campaign bids fair to
become a struggle between the masses
and the classes. The masses want re
lief from oppressive legislation and
the classes want more legislation to
keep the masses in subjection.
Recently a few white men in the
city of Columbia became impatient at
having to stay out in th political
cold, determined to organize them
selves into a political club and to
knock at the doors of the Republican
party for admission These men
come out of that faction which boasted
of their pure Democracy; they claim
ed to be the "only Democrats in the
State," and those belonging to the
Reform movement or faction were
imposters. If we remember cor
rectlv some of the former leaders of
the Democracy of this State attempt
ed to have this class of men recogni
zed by the head of the National Com
mittee. They have at last shaken ofi
their disguise and now they are
where they ought to be, flat footed
in the Republican party. Now when
that party gets fully entrenched in
power it is to be hoped that these
latter day saints will bot be allowed
to crowd the colored Republicans out
of the way of reaching the plums.
Governor Evan's message which he
sent to the General Assembly yester
day is a splendid document, showing
a careful study of the various mat
ters to be acted upon. He makes a
nuner of valuable suggestions and
makes a careful review of the State
government. The only part of the
message that will create unfavorable
comment even from political oppon
ents is that portion which alludes tc
the carrying of our election laws intc
the United States courts by certain
individuals. Possibly it would have
been better in a State document tc
have left out personal allusions, but
we do not see how the governor could
have done so without creating a miss
ing link in the government
review chain. Governor Evans
does iot fail to express his
contempt for Judge Goff; in
fact he plainly shows that he feels
it his "duty, mingled with inclina
tion" to do so. The governor pays a
just and merited tribute to the attor
ney general and the gentlemen who
rendered such valuable assistance to
the State when her very institutions
were about to be destroyed to gratify
personal spleen. It is a good sound
message and we will publish it in full
next week.

INDIANS WIED.
Yellow Dog Faced Woman ecomnes5 the
Bride of Run First.
B'RMNGH-M, Ala., Jain- 1d-.- Run
First and Yellow Dog Faced Woman,
two of the Indians who were in the In
dian 'village at the Atlanta exposition
under Colonel Jordan, and who have
been in Birmingham for the past week,
were married in one of the rooms of the
Metropolitan hotel. Dr. L. S. Handley,
the pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church, officiated.
None of the other Indians of the band
were witnesses to the marriage cere
monies, but the couple allowed a numn
ber of ladies and gentlemen, members
of Dr. Handley's church, to remaim in
the room.
*Walter McKinzey, the halfbreed,
who is the interpreter, was used im the
ceremony. After the miarriag~e took
place the couple went to the Metropoli
tan hotel and took a dinner totother. A
large crowd of inouisitive pe. ple
watched around the h? tcs, and when
te couple came from the r-oomi where
the ceremonies took plae, a number of
them shook hands with the gre:om,
who seemed somewhat embar-rassedI.
Yellow Dog Faced Woman was a widl
ow. Her first husband was killedl in
the battle of Wounded Knee several
years ago. She has two children, one
of thenm Little Wound and the oth
er Silas, both of whom are with the
party. She is 34 years of age and the
most modest one in the whole lot. The
groom is 32 years of age. The other
Indians in thc band took no interest at
11I in the movement. As is known, the
ndians are Sioux and are from the
Rosebud agency.
DIED IN THE DEBRIS.
A Florida Desperado Sacrificed Ilis Life
Rather Than Surrender.
NEw3IdsSVIILE, Fla., Jan. 14.
Chased by a posse, Harry Jordan, a ne
gro desperado, wanted for murderously
assaulting Dr. J. N. Cloud, took refuge
in an unoccupied house near Alachua.
The negro barricaded the doors and
swore he would kill the fir-st man who
attempted to enter, The posse poured
in volley after volley, riddling the house
with bullets, but not injuring Jordan,
who returned the fire with his Winches
Finally, the posse resolved to set fire to
the house, thinking the flames would
d-ive the negao out, when he would be
easily captured. The torch was applied
in seve-'ral places and soon the house was
envloed in flames. The negro, how
ever, made no effort to escape. He sta
tioned himself in the center of the burn
ing building and fired his Winchester
in a vain effort to kill some of his pur
suers. The desperado's rifle continued
to r-ack until the roof fell in and lie
was burled by blazing debUris.
Jordan was known as a bad negro,
having killed, it is said, three men. He
frequently boasted that no white man

INTERESTING READING TO MEM
BERS AND OTHERS.
There was a call meeting of Da
mon Lodge No. 13 K. of P. on Thurs
day night last, for the purpose of in
stalling the newly elected officers.
Brother F. M. Spann, D. D. G. C.,
came down on the evening train and
did the work. It was a large and en
thusiastic meeting and Damon Lodge
enters upon the new year with bright
prospects.
Right here we wish to start the
ball in motion to build a castle hall
of our own and quit paying rent.
Smaller lodges than ours are build
ing their own "homes;" why not we?
Brothers let us hear from you on the
subject.
The next regular convention of Da
mon Lodge K. of P. will take place
to-morrow night. Come out, broth
ers, and encourage our new officers
in the discharge of their arduous but
pleasant duties-pleasant only when
encouraged by your presence.
A Pythian Knight should certainly
be ashamed to say, "I haven't been
to a lodge meeting in two months."
A thousand dollars In our treasury
would be of no use, whatever, with
out the co-operation of the members.
Let's work more and eat less oysters.
BEFORE THE HIGHEST TRIBUNAL.
A new arrival at the gates of pearl
knocks for admission.
[St. Peter to Outer Guard]: Who
comes there?
Outer Guard-A newspaper man
from Belleville, Illinois.
[To the Keeper of Records]-What
is written in the golden book ?
Keeper of Records-Worldly pos
sessions, none. A truly good and
honest man who loved his neighbor
as himself; and practiced friendship,
charity and benevolence. A kind
husband and loving father. He suf
fered much with patient resignation;
murmured not at the will of heaven,
nor did he curse God. A beautiful
record worthy of the highest reward.
[To the Outer Guard]-Admit him.
Outer Guard-I cannot, most high
and mighty prince.
St. Peter-Thou canst not! Why?
Outer Guard,-Alas! He was a
Knight of Pythias.
St. Peter-And who has dared de
nounce this man of many virtues?
Outer Guard-Your successor on
earth, most august lord.
St. Peter-Indeed! Then he has
certainly transcended his authority,
for my beloved Master taught no
grander principles than this man has
practiced. Admit him, I repeat, and
guide him hither that he may receive
the insignia of beatitude.
[To candidate as he invests him
with robe and crown]-Enter, my be
loved son, into thine eternal reward;
for, verily, thou hast lived according
to the book of law and in conformity
with the spirit of the Redeemer.
How deeply it doth grieve me to
turn away from these portals the
thousands of longing but misguided
souls who have been taught to be
lieve that to follow- a certain creed
will gain them admittance here. We
judge no man by his creed, but by
his acts alone; for beneath a sancti
monious exterior there but too often
lurks a soul dead to all humane and
generous impulses, whose profession
of faith but tends to worldly gain.
Such cannot enter here, no matter
what they may profees. Only those
whose names are inscribed within
the golden1 book, and whose actions
while on earth entitle them to admis
sion, can be recognized.
I welcome thee to thy happy home.
Go forth and mingle with the blessed
forevermore.-Knight.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BUILD
UP AN INTEREST IN A SUBOR
DINATE LODGE?
The lodge should have
Officers who are prompt and effi
cient.
Officers who study to know their
duties.
Officers who know the difference
between a presiding officer and a
"kicker."
Officers who thoroughly under
stand the difference between "put
ting a motion" and discussing a ques
tion.
Officers who understand parlia
mentary law.
Officers who make a study of the
Supreme and Grand Lodge laws.
Officers who make a study of the
laws for government of subordinate
lodges.
Officers who can give intelligent
answers to questions asked concern
ing the business of the lodge, or of
business before the lodge.
Officers who have committed the
portions of the ritualistic work per
taining to the duties of their office.
Officers who can deliver the lec
tures, charges, obligations, &c., with
out having to read them from the
book.
Officers who can "communicate the
work" in such manner as will im
press the carndidate with its beauty
and extent that he will never for
gt it.
Officers who will see that every
member can "make the signs" cor
retly, and that they are capable of
testing strangers without instructing
them.
Officers who will teach their broth
ers that the signs, grips, passwords,
&c., are for use in the lodge room on
ly, except when testing strangers
who arc compelled of necessity to
make themselves known as members.
Officers who are cool, courteous and
polite under the most aggravating
circumstances.
Officers who can allay animosities
and bickerings between members
who by "soft words" can "turn away
wrath."
Officers wvho can push the business
along.
In the foregoing there are many
"tings to remember." If made the
rule of action they will bless the doer
and receiver alike.-Knight.
SIFTINGS.
Greet the stranger found in your
lodge-room with cordiality and fra
ternal welcome.
There is but one rule of life that
will meet all- conditions at all times,
and that is the Golden Rule.
Sympathy is a strong bond of
union; it unites heart to heart and
soul to soul. Without it our order
would not exist.
To be a K. of P. requires no sacri
fice of individual opinion on religion
and politics. The principles of the
order are immortal.
As you would wish to be treated
when visiting the home of an ac
quaintance, so treat the stranger
brother who visits you r lodge.
That which is the greater contains
the less. Th'le atom should niot at
tempt to control the mass. The or
der is greater than the individual
member.
Professions should be reinforced by
acts. One without the other is like
ashes-dead: and the louder the r
fessions the larger the pile left for
the sc-avenger.
Who lives the principles and duties
taught by the order need fear
neither death or hell. "Inasmnuchl as
ye have done it un~to one of the least
of these my brethren, ye have dlone
it ntn me."

McLAURIN, BY REQUEST, EX
TENDS HIS REMARKS ON
THE BOND ISSUE.
He Clearly Shows the Lack of
Authority and Demonstrates
tie Injury that is Being
Done to the People Now
Suffering from Vi
cious Legisla
tion.
Washington, Jan. S.--When the bond bill
was under disenssion in the House, the
time for debate was limited. Congress
man McLaurin atta.ked the measure vig
orouslv in the ten minutes allotted to bim.
His remarks attracte'i general attention,
and many of the Congressmen who thought
like he dil asked him to farther develop his
speech for pnblication in the Congressional
R--cord. This he has done. In addition
to Lis remarks as already published in The
T[is, the itecord contains the fol
lowing:
Mr. Speaker, for fear my position upon
thi-; alleed gold restrve fund may be mis
un derstood I desire to say like many other
usnrpations of the Treasury Department
its legality remained unchallenged until
sonewhrat rrcantly. During a debate in
the senatet in 1s9J the tollowing statement
was ina-le by Senatot Sherman, the origina
tor of this fund:
-It is certaio from that day to this every
officer charged wito the responsibility has
treated that as a fund set apart for this pur
pose, and the man who, in violation of that
statute, as Secretary of the Treasury, should
rednee the gold balance for the redemption
of United States notes below $100,000,000
would be impeachable for high crime and
misdem eanor."
The Senator referred to the 'ime when
this fund was ei-iated, but was very careful
not to mention the precise statute which
provided for it. Sanat -r Cockrell refused
is consent to Ser:ator Sherman's statement
and empbatically dleclared:
"There is not one particle of law upon
the statute b.;oks of the United States direct
ing or rrqiiring the Treasury Department
to hold S100,000,000 of goid for the redemp
tion of Unit?'l States notes or, as we call
them, legal tenders."
Senator ingalls also doeared at the savie
time:
"The ehdin t:.at this $10'000,(00 in the
Treasury ie uccessary to ruaintain the
credit of this nation, that it ever was pledg
ed to be depo..ted there as a matr o f.Litb
or of publc honor, is a tiction. it i' a
dreai "
This .lebate was co-ntinued at some
length and the follow:ng Iacts were es'ab
lished: First, that no authority save ca
price of the Secretary of the Treasury
coud be found f.r acenmuleting this vacst
idle res-rve; and scond, no law could be
discovered that 1.erinittud its being pad
out in the manner adopts-d. Frow that
date until the present no one has been able
to find a h of l:w providling for tuis re

Under this Act Senator Sherman, then
Secretary of the Treasury, sold SU'>,500U,000
of 4 ande 4 1-2 per cent. buoah for gold,and
estbihed this so-called reserve fund.
rh object of this fund was to re deem sod
retire the United States notes or green backs
from the anmount then outstandhng, $375,
771,570, downi to $300,000,000. '1his was
to be done gradually as additional bank
currency was issued to the ban is In 1876
there vwas retired $5,U99,296. In 1b77 tL-ee
was also retired $ij,jU7,UJ52. During 1.578,
and up to the passage of the bill forb.idding
teir further destruettoni, there was ret:red
$3,t3,316, or a total of $29,090,561.
In the mleantime the people grew' uneasy
over the destructae-O of :hese legal tender.,
and the deimnetizati::n of silver, aunt as a
re-sult of this agitation the Act of 3May 31,
1878, was pcssedI. It reads:
-1e it enactod by the Senate and IIOuse

By this Act the canceling and retireing
fgreenbacks was stopped, and the books
of the Treansury showed at that time $346,

This gold reserve funid is mentioned for
first time in the statutes in the banking'
Act of 1882. in the followicg words:
"Te Secretary of the Treasury shall sus
pend the issue of such gold certificates
whenever the amount of gold coin and gold
bullion in the Treasury reserved for the
redemption of United States notes falls be
low $100,000,000."
Mr. Speaker, I have been careful to q-mote
all the Acts or parts of Acts upon the statnte
books which in any way relate to the gold
reserve or the further issue of interest-bear
ig bond-', in order to disclose the nar
row foundati rn upon which this idle hoard
of gold is held or additional bonds issued
to further burden thme people. The fact is,
r. Speaeor, there is no authorityv of law
for either. and the time has come when
th people of this country should under
stnd the real sit uction. In my opinion,
t country is nl t suffering from laws
which have pass~ed C'onginres, some of which
I dmit are wholly lad, but are being d s
rr~ ed by De partiment ruling made upon
tese iws. We nay enae-t laws ever 5o
carefully, but nio one (-an deterumine their
final opratiton to.til they have run the
an tet of the- DVartmir.nts. For this rea
son I an opp:.5e.1 to granting atmv increase
of discretionary pcower to any an'd all pub
li officials.
.!r N- tsker, h::aing mer~tuone1 the fact
ta' the last issue of bonds ws for go!d
bulion, I desire- to give that portion of the
ctra-t be-twe-n See-r.tary ('ar'isle and the
alin money lendier. It ires as follows:
''Now, therefore, the said pa ties of the
seeond part hereby agree to atll and deliver
ttti.- United SnaesC 3.50.000( ounces of
tatar ,..d ,.Oin of the Unt ed~ State at
Vie rate of $17,894,41 per ounce, payable in
United States 4 per cent. thirty-year cou
pon or registered bonds, said bonds to be
dated February 1, 1895, and payable at the
pleasure of the United States after thirty
years from date."
This idea of buying coin at bullion rst s
is no doubt dictated by some ulterior pur
pose that will come t the surface sonie day
to plague and plunder the people.
Mr. Speaker, gold bullion is a commodity,
and, under any construction of law, Secre
tary Carlisle could have issued bonds as
legally for so many outnc-s of pork, beef,
wheat, or cotton. It is time such fiagrant
violations of the plain statutes ceased by
those whom we trust with important posi
tions, for if they will not obey the law how
can obedience to the law be demanded of
their subordinates?
Mr. Speaker, the provisions of this bill
as first presented would, under the rulings
of the Secretary of the Treasury, have re
tired and canceled every dollar of United
States notes or greenbacks. This was no
doubtthe intention of its originators; but,
fearing exposure and defeat, an amend
ment declaring against such action was
added. These greenbacks have been doing
service for more than a third of a century,
and never, until the present administration
permitted them to be used as the tools of
alien money lenders in raiding the national
Treasury, have they given rise to any con
plaint. These greenbacks costs the govern
ment but a trifle, and burden the people
with no interest. If the Secretary of the
Treasury were to establish an American
financial policy, and in doing so obey the
plain letter of the laws, all objections ti the
continued use of this "form of currency
woulh vanish. These United States notes
during their long existence have saved the
peopleof the nation moie than $700.00,
000 in interest, and are at the present time
the favorite currency of the people. In my
opinion they should not be retired, but
permitted to continue their work of faci
itating business.
I am opposed to the issue of the proposed
certiticates of indebtedness, since they
bear interest and cannot be usQd in the
ehannels of trade. Instead, let silver cer
tificate., against this vast borde of idle sil
ver in the Treasury b is.sued. Such certi
ticates would bear no interest, become no
burden to the people, and would readily
become ab-;orbed in the exchanges of the
country. They would increase the volume
of currency and to tLbat extent assist th.
people in their almost hopeless struggle
against general bankruptcy. The people
do not want another bond issue. They
know what it means and fear the result.
They know it means harder work, less
comfort of life, and lower prices for the
fruits of their bard toil. They are in
financial distress n-iw and ask for relief
from their present burdens instead of be
ing loaded down with more.
This relief must eomte, and in my opin
ion quickly, or great danger threatens this
contry.
Mr. Speaiker. where is the. end? Selling
bonds does not replenish the Treasury un
der its present administration. The jug
glory of these financial deals is apparent
and Lhe rapacity of those profiting by them
seems to have no limit. It is estimuated
that the total value of all the property in
the Uaited States is about SG->,000,000,OO.
At least foity-five billion of this has already
been app:-opriated through bond dealing
and stock watering by :he capitalistic class.
At the present rate it will not be long be
fore they will have the other twenty bil
lion, and the entire property ot this
ountry will be represented by paper
securities, upon which interest and divi
dends must be paid by worke-rs to drone
capitalists.
The producer and man who works with
his hands pays for everything. He is the
mudsill, Ind without his toil stocks, bonds,
and factories become valueless.
If these bonds are to be continually
issued, and the public and private debt of
this country increased at the rate that Las
obtained for the past two years, our entire
wealth within ten years will be represent
ed by interest-bearing senrities, and the
seat of our government transferred from
Washington to Wall and Lombard streets.
The people will no longer rule, but will be
come the mere serlb of a bondholding class,
"who toil not, tLeither do they spin."~
Wages under such conditions will be the
pittance necessary to sustain life, while the
wealth created -will go to swell the hoard of
those already monstrously- rich. The pic
ture is not overdrawn, and unless our peo
pe are aroused to a comnprehension of this
iniquitous system no one can foretell the
calamities which await us in the future.
The masses believe that finance is the
paramount issue, an d no amount oif decep
tion or sham battles over the tariff is going
to deter them from a settl-ment of this
question before all others. For the last
thirty years the people have been dividled
on the questioni of tariff andl marshialed
into two host~le camrps, while tihe money
owners have fastened npon us a financial
policy which has brought the country to
te verge of bank~ruptcy.
I want these bond dealers to push thiri
schemes to the uttermost limit as rapiiiy
as possible, for the sooner then will the
end come. When rilers become mad with
power, their fall is near.
Napob-on, in'.oxicated with success,
iought to rule the world, but he died on a
speck of rock in muid-ocean, far from the
scenes of his success and glory.
Hadl he been satistied with a reasonable
amount of power, Europe would not have

Helena never heard the heart-broken sigh

History teach s the lesson that centrali
zation of wealth and power may, like the
tower of flibel, stand for a while, but tihe

as just:ce decentraliz5s the othe'r.

.r. Speaker, I am opposed to the forth

we are making progress, whether we wish
to or not, toward the use of silver as
money.
Mr. Speaker, in my judgmient, the people
nf this country want free coinage of silver.
There is not a State in the Union that
would not record its vote overwhelmingly
for free coinage if its people were permitted
to vote on that proposition alone. The
wishes of the people may be hindered, but
the time is not far distant when the mem
bers of this Chamber will be only too glad
to register their votes in favor of such a
ileasure.
The mioner of the Constitution, which
since the foundiation of the Government
has been accepted by the people until it
was clandestinely taken from them, must
be restored. Fo'r one, I shill bend my
