It, wna idle fur Republicans to
deny that this administration is
unfriendly to the rich corporations,
in view of the donations it
is now openly accepting from
them. The McKinley excursion
train will cost not a cent less than
;$50,<)0() ? probably considerably
more?and it is being accepted as
n gift by Mr. McKinley and his
fellow travelers. Yet, officers in
the Philippines are being tried by
court-martial for exacting bribes
pf a few thousand dollars from
army contractors. There is not
even a pretend* that any person in
the McKinlxy trajn is paying a j
rent, for tlje trip. Tlio Pullman
monopoly furnishes the ears anil
each railroad over which it passea
furnishes the motive power and
the eatables, drinkables, etc., during
its transit over its lines, and
the hijl of far*' iu as good as that
furniKhi'f) by the most expensive
hotels. No man of ordinary intelligence
believes tlpft corpprptions
ijive away money without
exacting its return in favors of
some surf. Mr. McKinley knew
that w)|ep he accepted this donation
that he incurred an obligation
to thtf donors which would sooner
or later have to he met, ami the
intelligent people of this country
know it. too, and will doubtless
express their opinion of the transaction
at the polls, when their
next opportunity comes.

to the jail to see Itnym md Stevens,

that he was not Iteese. hut I did

notorious outlaw that was hadlv

to the window at the other end of

make terms with me to "identify"
him as Reese, and allow hiin to
escape, and he oll'ered me money
to do this, lie claimed to have
seen me in the West, and certainly
knew of several of my exploits
when I was with the express company,
and worked in the Western
Status and territories, lie.did not
look at all like l{eese, and if we
could hayo gotten these p> ople ;
out I here to have sent us a desei j p- i
lion of Stevens instead of a eopy
of my Reese circular, we believe
that I could have told from a I
i shadow of that man on the ground
'in the sunshine that lie was not !
lieese. Here is a partial dosiirip- ,

The two men looked nothing
alike. Stevens was held on several
charges in the I'. S. court
that the district attorney said
would give him more than a life j
sentence in the aggregate, mid he
hoped to profit by the lleese accident
by making his escap'. and

Some action will have to he taken,
as the matter will come op in tit*fi
nite shape. The veterans* camp at
Laurens has adopted the following
resolutions:
Whereas, for several years one
or more ex-(.'onfederate soldiers of
our county have been driven l?y
inlirmities of old a^e and by dcslitulion
to seek shelter in tin* home

soldiers in that institution at this
time, ail i, whereas, similar conditions
exist, as we are informed and

Stale, and whereas the duty and
feasibility ?f establishino homer-:
for the homeless and helpless veteran
soldiers of tlie war between
the States lias lono since been
demonstrated by many Statt s
North and South, therefore re
solved,
First, That while distinctly disclaiming
any intention of n lieu- ,
tion upon those whose misfortune
lias made objicis of public charily, i

and the hazird of which is so en- |
existent with life itself, we i\ el
that it id a relleetion np< 11 the
patriotism and manhood of this
country that old soldiers who for
four years stood as a wnil between j
their country and it* enemies I
should, in their old ulcc and intir- |
mity, and for their few remaining
yeais, l>c forced to seek shelter in
the poor house, where under our
laws they are ever denied the
sai red rij_rht of the ballot.
Second, Wo appeal to other
camps of I nitial Confederate \ eterans
