GOOD STEALIN ENDS Last Monday Was the Aaniversary of Hampton's Triumph and Chamber lain's Downfall-United States Troops Removed From the State House on April 10, 1877. Monday was the anniversary of the emancipation of the State of South Carolina from the rule of negroes and carpet-baggers. Thirty-four years ago Monday D. H. Chamberlain, the radical governor, formally re linquished the control of the execu tive office to Wade Hampton. The United States troops were removed from the State house after five months' occupancy, and white rule was supreme. Reconstruction days, the premiere days of good stealing, were at an end. The following fronm The State will be read with interest: Wade Hampton was elected gov ernor of South Carolina on Novem ber 7, 1876. D. H. Chamberlain, ths radical candidate, refused to give up the office. A detachment of the United States soldiers were placed ini the State house to protect him. Hampton and the other Democratic State officers installed themselves in the old,Carolina hall, destroyed oy, fire two years ago; and refused to recognize the Chamberl-dn regimc. In March, 1877, 1Iampton and Chamberlain both went to Washing ton to lay their respective claims to the office of governor of South Caro lina before President Hayes and his cabinet. Hampton's claims were re' ognized. On April 2, 1877, President Ha-es instructed the secretary of war to or der the troops, quartered in the State house under Gen. Rugers, to remove to their camp. "It ends the strug gle," said Chamberlain, "and makes Hampton practically governor." After the order was issued, Gov., Hampton wired to W. D. Simpson in Columbia: "Everything is satisfac torily and hbnorably settled. I ex pect our people to preserve absolute peace and quiet. My word is pledged for them. I rely on them." His reliance was not misplaced. The men who had put him in office in Novem ber did nbt make even a demonstra tion. Hampton left Washington on April 5. 1877, for Columbia.- He was met in Charlotte by a delegation of some 60 citizens. On April 7, Hampton, "the liberator," reached his capital. A magnificent celebration was ar ranged to welcome him to Columbia. Two batteries of artillery fired salutes every minute after his train rolled into the old depot at the end of Blanding street. The street, "half way to High street," was massed with people and vehicles. A procession was formed at the depot, Gov. Hampton and the State officials leading in car riages and followed by numerous military companies, the old Columbia volunteer fire companies and other org~nagtions. The proession went up Blanding stret and down~ Main to Carolina hall, where Gov. Hampton delivered an address. The next two days were une'urnt ful. but on April 10 Goy. Hampton wrote as follows to Chamberlain: "State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. "Columbia, S. C., April 10. 1877. "Sir: Having learned that you now propose to turn over to me the executive chamber with the record and papers belonging to the executive office, now in your possession.

R CO., NEW YORK. GOOD MAN GONE CLEVELAND MOURNS DEATH OF TOM L. JOHNSON. e Was One Millionaire Who De voted His Wealth and Talents t the Public. Cleveland. Ohio, mourns the deata of her noblest citizen, one who was loved by all. He was a millionaire, but a devoted friend of the common people. Tom L. Johnson was a no ble man. His body laid in state at the city hall in Cleveland and was visited by thousands of people who knew and loved him. Scores of telegrams expressing condolence and paying tribute to the worth of Mr. Johnson were sent from prominent men in all parts of country including Gov. Judson Har mon, Wim. J. Bryan, Senator Burton, Senator Atlee Pomerene, Mayor Wm. L. Gaynor of New York, 'Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo, and nearly every congressman from Ohio. Gov. Harmon said: "A more hon est man that Johnson never nyea. Mr. Bryan: "No man in the past generation did more affective .work for the people than Tom L. Johnson." Mayor Gaynor: "The country at large has lost one of its greatest a great man who fought for gev government." During his last illness Mr. Jghn son was requested to write his au tograph in the birthday book of Miss Louise Graham. a friend of the fam ily. Commenting on the paragraph selected, Mr. Johnson's secretary re marked on its appropriate sentiment. Mr. Johnson said he "hoped he would be so" and signed his name to the following quotation: "His face was a thanksgiving for his past life and a love letter to all mankind." 'When Arthur Fuller, the chauf feur for Mr. Johnson, visited the pa tient Sunday afternoon, he remark ed that his employer was still smil ing. "Yes, Arthur, I'm dying, but I still have my smile, and I am going to die- smilling" replied the former mayor. moving the United States soldiers from the State house, went into ef et on April 10, 1877. 34 years ago yesterday. Twenty men, under the command of Lieut. Haynes of Com pany B. Second regiment, were oin duty there guarding the radical gov ernor and State officials. The detach ment was ordered to remove to its camp at noon. "All was done so suddenly," writes the lamented Carlyle McKinley of the evacuation of the State house, "that the clock could be heara .itr K ing after the doors were closed. The bell strikes slowly at best, ana it re quired little suggestion to evolve the comparison of a funeral knell. Twelve strokes sounded, and 12 long, weary, wretched years of carpet-bag misrule were tolled off one by one, and con signed to the tomb of the past for ever, never to know a resurrection." Before surrendering the office he had held by force since November. 1876, Chamberlain made a bitter ad dres to the radical State officials in which he accused Hayes and his cab inet of deserting the very men who were responsible for his election to the presidency of the United ncates. At 11 o'clock. on April 11, 1877, Chamberlain left the State house, never to return. According to their agreement. Go. Hampton sent his private secre tary, the late Maj. Wade Hampton Manning. to- meet C. J. Bab'bitt, Chamberlain's ptate secretaiy, at the executive office at noon on April 11, 1911. when the great seal of South Carolina and the keys of the office were turned over to Maj. Man ning. Hampton was thus formally installed in office. The Columbia Phoenix. published by the late Julian P. Shelby. issued a one-page extra on april 10. 1877, to chronicle the evacuation of th~e State house by the United States troops. The leading editorma mn tne ..nra, entitled "Out at Last," is given in full below: Promptly, while the bell was striking 12. the troops marched out the east door of the State house and wended their way toward the bar racks in the eastern part of the cit y. Gov. Hampton had stationed persons at the various entrances to the State house square to request people not to pass in. consequently scarcely any one was to be seen inside, and but few were standing around outside to witness the departure. No hurrahinjg or any demonstration of any kind BRYAN LOVD Seems to Have the Inside Track When It Comes to Popularity. STILL DRAW THE CROWD Possible Timber for the Presidency Three of the Leaders to be Seen in Washington-Bryan, Harmon and Clark-Either One of Them Would Fill the Bill. A special to The State from Wash ington says since congress began its extra session on April 4 Democrats have had an opportunity to take a look at three of the men who art mentioned as probable candidates foi the presidency when the next nomi nating convention is held-William J. Bryan, Judson Harmon and Cham) Clark. They have been looked over w'th a scrutinizin-g eye-one that looks for the winning horse-and while n can not be said that either of these three mientioned has shown any de cided advatage over the others there are u-:mistakable signs that point t0 Mr. Bryan's great popularity, what eve: his enemies may say to the con.Y inL -he house on the day congress assem"led for its extra session work, the r-eception accorded Bryan and Harrion was not noticeably differem unle-:. it was the act that morE persons seemed to shake hands with Bryan than with the great Ohiar This may have been due to the larger acquaintance of Mr. Bryan and tc the fact also that on three different occasions he had been on the course and in that way naturally knew and was familiar with more of the noust Democrats than his distinguished friend from Ohio. Be that as it may, however, the fact that Mr. Bryan was in the capi tal draw around hin wherever ht went a tremendous crowd. Ever those who are opposed to the polit! cal policies of Mr. =fyan have be-i forced to admit that his reception iE Washington, at the capital, around the hotels and clubs, and at private residences and entertainments where he appeared, was nothing short oi marvelous considering the fact that he has been the candidate u. r Democrats for president three timeE and three times has suffered defeat. Both Judson Harmon and Wood row Wilson draw crowds when they come to Washington, not only be cause of the fact that they are nov in the public eye as presidential tim ber but because of their personality and the friends each of them has, Their greetings here are sincere and genuine and one who comes in con tact with them as they move fron point to point can not fail to observe how the very grasp of their hands in dicates their party fervor and loyalty But with Mr. Bryan it is possible that neither Harmon nor Wilson car approach him in the way the peoplE -rich and poor alike-politician and plain man-crowd to hear what hE has to say. Last Sunday he was scheduled to speak at a number of the Washington churches on relie ious topics. Everywhere he appeared crowds fought their way to gain en trance, and it was necessary in some cases for policemen to beat the peo pIe back, so desirous were they 0: getting to a place where they could hear what Mr. Bryan had to say. In front of the churches the crowd! packed the streets to such an extent that it was necessary to send officer! through the crowds to make room for pedestrians. Not satisfied with their failure tc hear Mr. Bryan .speak many of these people so insisted on his talking tc the overflow crowd outside the church doors, and this the great Nebraskar willingly did. Such a man ifestation of admire tion may mean something or it may not, but it certainly shows that, how ever -Mr. Bryan may be held in thE minds of those opposed to him po litically, he draws- tremendous crowds whenever he appears in public in Washington, second only in size to the crowds that go to see and hear a president of the United States. After the Tigers The governor has issued a pro clamation to all sheriffs ana theji deputies, magistrates and their con stables, rural police, city and town officers of the State to enforce the whiskey laws.

Seven years at hard labor in State's prison was the sentence meted out to each of four leaders of a black hand band in the common pleas court at Newark, N. 3., Monday. A fifth pris oner. a wealthy Italian, was sen tenced to a three-year term. They were convicted of drugging and rob bing two men. ly as possible for a movement to be made. About five months ago the troops took possession of the StatE house at the dead hour of nigut mu. the purpose of assisting in the per petration of that outrageous fraudl which has fastened an illegal presi dent upon the country and also tc uphold an illegal government in this State. They have done their work well, though Mr. Hayes, after finding himself seated in the presidential hair, sees be can not longer stem he tide of public opinion which is setting with such overwhelming force against the frauds and crimes which !ae been perpetrated under protec tion of the military, and therefore or ders the troops removed from th% State house, thus knocking the only prop from under the Chamberlain government on which it could rely, and lets it tumble to the ground. Gov. Chamberlain. after a most de termined struggle, thus found him self swinging in the air. with nothing to support his unjiust cause, and made a virtue of necessity by dictating, after issuing the false and mnalignant document which we publish in anothi er column. Thus ends this memo rable contest, and now that right and just has prevailed, and Gov.

Wicker, President of Asso ciation, Issues Call to Workers in South Carolina. Thos. E. Wicker. president of the Rural Free Delivery Carriers' Asso ciation of South Carolina, has Issued an address to the carriers of this State, urging increased interest in the organization. Mr. Wicker, in his address, says: "Brother Rural Carriers of South Carolina: Below you will find a list of rural carriers whom I have ap pointed several organizers for their resDective counties. See if your name is on the list, and if it is, then go to work with a vim for your county association; if it is not, then write your county organizer at once and tell him your services are at his comu mand. "In several counties I have made no appointments because I dian . know who would be willing and in tersted enough to undertake .he work. I should be glad to have the names of hustlers from those coun ties, so that the list of orgauizers could be made complete. The ap pointment of special organizers doesn't mean that State and CoUUL. officers may become less active in their efforts to secure members. "The State convention at Newberry last July was the largest and best in the history of the association. The question now is, Will it be excelled by the convention at Florence nex1 July? What does Florence say aboul it? What does Burch say about it? What lo we all say about it? Our presence in goodly numbers will make it a success; our absence will make it a failure. "Now let us all get busy in the in terest of our county conventions or the 30th of May. Remember the na tioual dues, as fixed at Little Rock last year, are 75 cents and State dues 25 cents. Your county dues, if any are what you choose to make them "Let us all join the association foi the good of the service and for our own good. If by getting together in conventions and exchanging ideas, we are benefited, then, of course, th< service will be benefited to the same extent. The carrier who refuses or neglects to join the association, iso lates himself and pockets his salary at the end of the month. This is the sum total of his interest in the rura mail.service. The carrier who joins the association .manifests by that very act, a desire to learn, througa itm association as a medium, the wishes of the department officials in the con duct of the service. He is wide awake and more efficient than nis isolated brother, because he is ii touch with the department and in sympathy with those who are trying to improve the service. "There may be some among ub unu think that the recent salary increast was not as large as it should have been. From our viewpoint perhap! -it was not; but from the viewpoin1 of the government it was solely question of economy. We must noi forget that our branch of the service is young and, in some respects, im perfect, therefore, looking at it in thi! light, let us who are in the field co operate with our superiors at head -quarters, to the end that the imper fections in the service may i -e elim inmated and that we may become more efficient and deserving. When these things have been accomplished ther< need be no doubt that our compensa tion will be as generous as we coulc wish. Uncle Sam is not stingy, but. as every good business man should be, he is conservative. "In closing, let me again urgE upon you the importance of youi presence at Florence, July 3, 4 and -three days.

THEY WANT MORE New Orleans Cotton Exchange Denounces Bagging Trust. ROBBING THE FARMERS The Exchange Demands Relief for the South, and Would Check Ra t pacity, Which Would Increase the Duty and Thus Plunder the Cotton Growers of Millions. That the cotton bagging and the trust, not satisfied with robbing the American cotton planter of one mil lion dollars annually through unjust tariff placed upon bagging and ties under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, are planing to increase their levy 1 on the cotton crop to $2,000,000 an nually, is declared in resolutions ad opted Monday by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. The resolutions appeal to Congress to place bagging and ties on the free list and urge the enactment of the necessary legislation at the present extra session of Congress. President W. B. Thompson, of the Cotton Ex change, in a letter which he address ed to each member of Congress, tells of the great importance to the S6uth of this alleged tariff steal. He says in part: "The cotton crbp of the South yields an average of about 12,000, 000 bales. Of this total approximate ly five-eights, or 7,500,000 bales, rep resenting an average money value of over $500,000,900 are exported and exchanged for foreign gold. The mere statement of these facts attests the importance of the cotton prod'ic ing industry, emphasizes the obliga tion, which the country at large owes the producer of this crop and estab lishes his right to at least just treat ment at the hands of the general law making power. "Under the present tariff law, the duty on steel cotton ties amounts to 2.7 cents per bale, or $324,000 on a crop of 12.000,000 bales. This tariff is prohibitive, as is znown by the fact that no steel ties are imported. Therefore the government has no share in this impost which consti tutes simply and solely tribute levied upon the cotton farmer for the ben efit of the cotton tie trust. "The duty on jute bagging imposed by the present tariff law amounts to 5% cents per bale or $630,000, on a crop of 12,000,000 bales. This tar .ff is to a large extent prohibitive In asmuch as it yields only about $100, 000 in revenues to the government. The balance of about $435,000 con stitutes a tribute paid by the cotton farmer to the bagging trust. "But the bagging trust Is not sat Isfied with its share of this impost. It desires to raise the duty to a figure which will not only prevent the gov ernment from receiving any revenne therfrom, but will enable the trust to take from the farmer four times as much as it has been able to take heretofore. "This trust has recently m'aae a technical test case based upon a ques tion of chemical analysis, and hab secured a ruling thereon from the board of general appraisers in New York, which will change the duty on imported bagging from the presen rate, which amounts to about 5 1-4 cents per bale, to an ad valorem duty, which will amount to about 21 cents per bale. This means an increase from $630,000 on the crop to prac tically $2,500,000,. all of which the trust will collect from the farmer without any division with the govern inent. "Thus under the Payne-Ad.rich law as heretofore interpreted, the cottor producer has borna the bur den of a $950,000 yearly tax on bag eing and ties and if the chemical in terpretation holds, he will hereafter 'be mulcted in the yearly sum of $2, S00,000 for his baling materials, all of which goes. into the treasuries of the bagging and tie trusts. "From this it will appear that not only the proposed outrage, but the present tax on bagging and ties is in adequate and wrong; and because the Western farmer has, and has had for more than 15 years, his binder twines on the free list, the tax upon the Southern farmer stands condemnen on the additional discrimination." SOON FOLLOWED Hl. Wife Died Two Hours After Her Hus band Passed Away. En route to her home in Union, S. C., to make arrangements for tnt burial of her husband, at whose bed side in a Spartanburg hospital she had remained until death came at 7 o'clock 'Monday evening, Mrs. M. Y. Dunlop died very suddenly as the train .was nearing her destination. Her death came within two hours at ter that of her husband. The hus band was carried to Spartanburg for an operation, which was performed Monday afternon, death ensuing a short while afterward. The wife, three sons and daughter were at the bedside when the end came. The sons remained in Spartanburg to ac company the body in Union, while the grief-stricken wife and daughter went home to prepare for the funeral. They left Spartanburg at 8 o'clock. All the children are grown. SHOWING UP THE STEAL. Every Box of Lemons Tells of the Tariff Robbery. Practically every box of lemons brought into the United States from Eoreign po'rts now carries to its con suners a message protesting against he hi'gh rate in the Payne-Aldrich tariff on lemons. Beginning this week, the New York fruit importers union stationed men with stensils on all the piers where shjpments of lem ons arrive, and they will paint on each box a pithy protest against the tariff rate. "If lemons were free this box would cost you $1.26 less."' Others are: "The tariff is squeez it me" "Revise the tariff and get me h eaper." "Iff the tariff squeezes me muchi more I wont come here," and "the tariff is making us sour on the Unit-< TIEIR BLUFF CALIED EYPOCRICY OF INSURGENT RE PUBLICANS EXPOSED. Eitchen, of North Carolina, Cornerb Them and Pulls Off Their Mask of Deceit. The opening arguments for and gainst the Canadian Reciprocity bil vas made in the house Saturday, in wo striking speeches. Claude Kit hin of North Carorna, one of tiie.. eading Democratic speakers, ad Iressed the house for three hours in avor of the measure, arraining the lepublican argument of protection or the farmer, and characteriing it LS "humbug." Following him, Asher C. Hinds, 4aine, for 16 years the parliamen ary clerk of the house, made his first peech as a member of the body, and tlligned himself in opposition to the reaty in an address devoted to the ;upport of protection for the farmers >f the nation. The riciprocity treaty, ie said, threatened national prosper ty in threatening to take away from he farming communities the protec ion to their products, necessary to heir continued prosperity and devel pment. It was a day full of interesting de elopments and incidents. Mr. Kit hin, skillful in repartee, drew fre luent interruptions from the Repub lican side, and kept the house in a -urmoil. He paced up and down he main aisle of the house, arraign ing the leaders of the Republican side, who have fought for the protec tive principle, paying particular at ,ntion to Representative Dalzell, Pa. He pictured President Taft as :oming to the Democrats on bended knees 'o solicit their support. The success of the president's de sire for reciprocity with Canada de pended. upon the Democrats, he said. "Oh, my friends," said Mr. hit -hin, "how the viccissitudes of Amer ican politics humiliate the pride of ven a president. We were impossi ble obstructionists, and we utterly failed in anything that was sensi ble; and yet before thar great pou. tical utterance is cold upon his lips, the desperate necessity of a discredit ed administration sent this president on bended knees begging .before this Democratic majority." Interruptions from insurgent Re publican members injected much in teresting debate into the EIltchin speech. He was asked if he would vote for free lumber, free sugar, less protection on cotton goods, and like reductions of the tar:. "I will vote for free lumber," said Mr. LaFollette, Wash., whom Kit chin had characterized as represent ing the lumber interests, "if you will vote for free sugar." "All right," said Mr. Kitchin, "I'll ote for both of them." "Will you vote to put all trur con trolled articles on the free list?" de manded Mr. Lenroot of Wisconsin. "Yes," said Mr. *Kitchin, "and with in four or five days we will bring in a free list bill that will give you all that opportunity." 'Mr. Kitchin expressed pleasure at seeing the insurgents "aaic-us jronnd the fires with the disting uished stand-patters of protection, singing hosannahs and hallelujahs to he farmer." * SHOT WHILE HELD.

A YOUNG MAN'S PARTY New Jersey's Governor Speaks Before National League of Democritic Clubs Jefferson Day.-"Democracy is an Energy of Life Dwelling in the Rank and File." Urging the Democratic party t) state its creed in the concrete and define clearly the especial forms of privilege it declares against in a gen eral campaign "for the rights of the people," Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in an address to the National League of Democratic Clubs at Indianapolis, Ind., Friday night set forth the objects of the party as he believed they exist and should be stated. Governor Wilson said in part: "We are fond of speaking of our selves as the party of Jefferson and Jackson, not because we are a party of old men, reminiscent of thing gone by and in love with what has been, but because we are a party touched with the ideals which made these men great, whose names we recall with such reverence.and en thusiasm, because the breath of ou, party's life Is its utter faith in tlu prinieples of Democracy. It is its devotion to the rights of the people of whatever class or degress at against all claims all selfish vested in terests which seek control instead oi freely serving the life and develop ment of the nation.

"These things are embodied in Jef ferson,- the thoughtful, phisosophica. penetrating thinker for mankind, and In the rugged Jackson, who seemec to cut his way toward the right b3 rough instinct and the mere energ, of an honest, indomitable nature; ani so we see embodied in them the twC sides of Democracy, its thoughtful ness, its vision of hope, its confi dence in the progress and liberatior of mankind, and linked with thesi its force as of the common people, it. abounding energy outside as well as within the field of cultivated thou-ght "Democracy is not a mere theor: of government. It is an energy oj life dwelling in the rank and file, in terpreted once .and again by -gres1 leaders, but not 'confined to their p:i vate cult and understanding.

We must state our creed i! the concrete, not In the abstract. On: -hughts run back of course, to the great Declaration of Independenc which Jefferson .gave us. but we can not stop with .that.
