"'According to the South Carolina
census bulletin, there are thirty^
four towns and cities in the State
, that have a larger population than

During the past ten days the

little progress macadamizing the
public roal between the home of
Mr. Chns. Hrahuin and the store of
Mr. W. E. dritfin, in 1 his township,
owing to tie prevalence of grippe
among the convicts. It was stated
Saturday morning that more than
half the convicts were unable to
work last veek.
A correspondent writing to The
Times abo*t prohibition says:
"Legal prohibition is a theory
and not a condition. Theoretically
it is all light, but as a condition it
in a failure, and has never 'existed
anywhere in any country where
men of Adam's race do con^re^ate.
Kansas wis held up to us in the
last State campaign as one of the
l^odlieat countries, whose prohibition
hud done its perfect work. We
were told that they used their jails
there to storo corn in instead of
criminals. 1 have been

The Confederate Cabinet Met Heie.
Fort Mill enjoys the distinction
of laini* one of the towns
in which :i meeting of the Con fed orute
cabinet was held durinjr the
Inst days of the war -about ths 1st
of May. 1 And i: is i laimed
by tunny that this was the hu t rcjj- 1

other informal conferences wore
held afti rwards in this State and

along the public road to Fort Mill
Before night they arrived at tin*
hospitable home of Col. A. B.
Springs, in the northern pari of
this township, where Messrs. Davis.
Benjamin, Breckinridge and Calvin
Johnson, secretary to Mr. Davis,
sj -til the night. It is said
that President Davis, wliili'ni the
11?n11 of Col. Springs, greatly enjoyed
a "nine of marbles with Col.
Springs' vomiLT sous. 'J'wo of 111?
cabinet oflicers, Messrs. Tretiholin
ami Kenyan, did not spend the
nii^ht with Col. Springs. hut eame
t wo tn iles fa rt her sout h. t > t he in a usion
of Mr. Win. K. White, by
whom they were entertained.
Next mornimr the quests of Mr.
White, after j^ettino ready to eontitiue
their journey, awaited the
]'residential party. I'pon the arrival
of the latter, it was proposed
to hold a eabinet meeting. The
doors of the \\ hite mansion were
thrown open and the distinguished
party invited to enter, but the day
beinu; warm it was decided to hold
the meeting in the shade ?fstately
trees in the yard. Here Mr. Trenliolin
tended his resignation on aecount
of ill health. His resignation
was accented. and (Ion I.'. m
gaii was appointed to (ill the vacancy.
At the cabinet meeting President
Davis seemed to I>i* equable ami
composed. Me had spoken int'liarlotto,
ami hoped soon to have a
more formidable army. I'ut Mr.
Breckinridge was not so sanguine.
The day before the mooting of
the cabinet in this place, a detach-,
uient of Stoncnnui's cavalry cam*
ill a itd burned tile railroad bridge
acroes Catawba river near here.
Consequently the Presidential purty
was forced to ford the river.
Then Mr. Trenholm took the river
road toward Columbia, while the
others went southwesterly by Abbeville.
Along with the Presidential party
was a body guard of-about d.OOO
cavalry, commanded by (Jen. I VrgUSOlt.

I'lke Scores McLaurln.
Kditor 'fimes: It is a matter of
no surprise to me and many other
meii in South Carolina to learn that
John L. McLaurin has landed in
the Uemihlb-n 11 !??? (? -I .. 1
1 ?y jowl with Mark Huntm. It is
now ancient history, but *01110 <>f
us still remember how a certain
journal in York county of ohl time
Republican bins threw ilirtv llin^s
at this writer, Dr. Strait ami other
men of independent thought in
York county and t he Fifth ( 'on^iessional
district for opposing Mr
Lauriii's nomination for 1'nited
States Senator. Some of us know
Johnnie, knew his antecedents,
knew him as a political trickster,
and had lost all confidence in his
honesty and reliability. 1 am not
at all disappointed in him, and lie
occupies the same position in my
estimation that lie did then, and
lias done exactly what I txpeeled
him to do.
When Dr. Strait charged him at
Yorkville with disloyalty to the
Democratic party and his preposition
to Talbert, Strait and Jaitimer
to cjo over to the l'opulist
party, he denied it,and to the everlasting
shaino of his henchmen
they howh d Strait down. When
i.?
SU W TIIUT I llOl'e Wits M COllHpiruey
to prevent free apeeeh his
reply was,"You can howl niedown
here, luit I won't bo howled down
tomorrow in Lancaster, and I will
prove what I say."' The contern
platioii of the Lancaster meeting
mid his own guilty conscience,
caused a sudden rush of hlnod to
.MoLaurin's head arid he fainted
mid went no moie into the campaign,
and why? 1'eeause lie had

must do something to be^et sympathy.
for lie knew there were
others Inyiun for liim besides Dr.
Stiiiii.uml it was a very smart trick
to feinn a bad ease of sickness and
Hot out of the eanip iinii- A smart
political coon like -Johnnie will always
survive such a case of sickness
as he took at that time.
Our present Connressman lent
all I;;-' influence to MeLnurin. and
that accounts for the larne vote he
not in Voik county. Besides, lie
had The State newspaper at Columbia
and nearly all the county
papers in the Fifth district, to.
netlur with the whole Slat.- admiuistratioii.
to boost him. And 1
don't suppose there ever was a politician
in South Carolina who so
successfully threw sand in the eyes
of tin- people as did MeLausin.
When t lie Senatorial hee henna
to bu/.'/. ill li s bonnet (Jen lorln
died iitnl gave Flh rhet lie opport uniiy
to make anient political I>1 u 1 rder
I?y appointing him to till
Marie's place. Then lie was 110:11itiated
in the primary which folfowed.
And it is the tirst time in
tin- history of the Stale that a man
so highly honored and Pasted hy
the people lias opci:l\ am. shamefully
let rayed them and trampled
honor and loyalty to the principles
of South Carolina Democracy beneath
his feet as a tilt hy rug. No
man except one from whose bosom
has tied all the elements of true
manhood and every principle of
honor, could or would betray his
party and pt ople as John 11. McLnurin
has betrayed the Democratic
party of South Carolina

alter the opening of the Senate
this morning Mr. Tillman created
a scene on the subject of
a private pension bill which had
been just passed il- declaimed
against discrimination between
Northern and Son!hern p< nsioiiers:
said that he had been for years ? 11
denvoring to have a Dill passed increasing
tll? pension of a oneu
nued soldier of the Mexican war,
and exclaimed in his usual passionate
style: "I swear by the Almighty
(Jod that I will never let another
pension bill get through if I can
obstruct it until this old man gets
his pension."
