JULY 8, 1D01. Col. Jones' Reply to Senator Appelt. Chairman Jones, of the Stnto Democratic executive committee, has given out the following statement in reply to an editorial writ ten by Senator Appelt and published in the Manning Times: "In justice to Senator Tillman ! I feel it incum!>ent upon me to i answer an editorial which ap- I peared in the Manning Times on j .lune 20, 1901. Senator Appelt. the editor of that paper, is mistaken when he makes the impression in his editorial that Senator Tillman told me that he wished the governor to refuse to accept the resignations of Senator McLaurin and himself. Senator Ap)>elt surely misunderstood me. Senator Tillman told me just to the contrary; that lie did not wish Ihe governor to refuse to accept the resignations. I said to the governor that I thought that it was best that the resignations should not be accepted. Whether that personal suggestion to him ,.. was wise or not the future wjll tell. 'I said also to Senator Appelt that I thought it would bo better for the governor not to accept the , . ^resignations, and t,hat is my entire connection' with tlie matter. 44 I A _!i -1 _ II - LI I 1-ttllIIUl 811 81111 H 11(1 R1IOW oen' 1 ntnr Tillman to be put iu fnUe> ponit ion, before the people, through me, because lie certainly ;tlflid that he wished the governor to accept the resignations at once and -lie expected and wished them to be accepted. ... He was positive on that point." Bryan Warns tha Faithful. f ' V In last week's Commoner Mr. Bryan issues a note of alarm to his followers-ih the following man ner:. "tio not aflow a man to lie placed upon any committee, precinct, county, State or national, .unless lie is a believer in the KanC^ty-platform.1 if a man op' 'posed to the Kansas City platform is sent as a delegate to any convention, he should lie bound by instructions and should lmve usso?1-'* eiatcd with him *a sriffkWmit majority who are sound on the plat ( lorip, if b niRQ objects to |ii)stfuc> 1 ; ' tioife leave Him at h'o'mefnlcj"Democratic delegate will object to an expression froqi, the voters whpin he seeks to represent. "The reorganizing element seck. ? ing to see lire control of the party(, does not openly proclaim its hostility to the Kansas City platform, i r t' nor does it'propose a platform for the consideration of the voters. Its plan of operation is to put forward candidates fof. the party organization who are not in harmony with the principles or purposes of the party. They work under cover of a desire for liar- I in my, but it is the harmony which * lite burglars desire when he hopes that the members of the family i will not awake until the valuables j< are removed from the house. The ; i Democratic party has made its re- j cent campaigns, beginning with almost without money, and yet the party has polled a larger i vote than it ever polled when it ; had a large campaign fund. "If the men who deserted the party in lN9ti or in l'.KX) are put at) the head of the party before they ' K've evidence of change of heart they will drive more voters away front the party than they will bring to it." ? ?

Fort Mill business men nre generally ill favor of Mr. McLaurin and endorse liis views as to the necessity of a vigorous foreign policy and the oyieiiing of markets abroad for American-mude goods. There is a growing sentiment | in this direction all over South Caro- { lina. The Observer's position in favor t of this policy is pleasing to the people i of this place.?Fort Mill special to Charlottee Observer. The above item was, no donbt, j aent The Observer by one of our j very few McLnurin ndmirers. j McLaurin may have a few friends in Fort Mill, but, when it comes to applying the term "general" to our business men who favor the junior senator's policy, the "apocialist" who sent this "special" is off, way off, in his "specially" of 1 writing McLaurin "specials." Then, too, it seem strange, when The Observer's nositinii in this matter is bo "pleasing to the peo- ' pie of thin place," that that paper iw read by Icbs than twenty citivseris of Fort Mill.

After leaving the Cabi- 1 net Secretary Wilson said: - 1 "i told mv associates what we i are doing.

Evs?g?tlst Pickett tfiike* StHoun Charges.?The News Calls ua the Citizens to Run the Preacher Out of the Town. Spartanburg Journal, 27th. The strongest and most pointed lan gnnge that any preacher or public speaker has ever used in Greenville (Tom Leach and Senator Tllmun not excepted) was used by the Rev. L. L. Pickett under his canvass last night, says the Greenville News today. Mr. Pickett, in his discourse, took occasion to uncover and lay bare some of the alleged sins spoken of a few nights ago, claiming the Bible as his authority for so doing. Ho jumped on Groeuvillo and her "phanisaical hypocrites" with l?oth feet and gloves off. Church mouthers were not spared in what lie had to say. He scored the men for midnight muuruding, drunkenness, their love for gambling tables, dens of infamy and vice, stating that if the noon day sun could shine upou wliat was going on in the midnight hours, and everybody could see their sins as they are, that there would hardly be a man here but would leave. "It has been said," said the evangelist, "that Greenville is just miles from Spartanburg but I want to tell you that she is on the hot side of | S]Kirtauburg. I'll tell you there is | more men in Greenville tonight who ! are nearer hell than they think. Referring to what has been said about the women Mr. Piekott said that he wanted to reiterate his stutmont, and i he did so in about the following lanI gunge: "I'll tell you that there are ! women all over this land, and Greeu! ville women are no acceptioit, who are born of hatred, adult ivy and vice, who ; murder from one to half doy.cn of their I children long before they see the light of this world; they are on the road to hell and I'll tell you that they have I got to stand before the judgement; if ' there sins be uncove eel and you could I know who they are tiiey would put you | to shame. Tnoy are enough to put any ; angel in heaven in mourning. Commenting on the above The News luiHii (loal)lo leaded editorial and calls on the jH'ople of Greenville to run Mr. j Pickett out of town. Following is the | editorial in part: If the decent white men of this cone | munity have any manhood in them, if j they have any respect for the virtue | of their wives and daughters, they will j not let the stm go to rest tonight with Evangelist ..Pickett in the same town | with them. If Mayor Williams and Chief Police Kennedy have any sense of duty to t his ^municipality tjiey will drive this unfortunate caeaf ure front Greenville wit hiu uu hour after they read this paper what lies lie has uttered against the meu and i women of this oily. Read what he ret urns us for oar trouble on his behalf and yours. Of al* horrible, stomach-turning calamities, he he has uttered against Greenville women the. most liorible. There may be r?x?n; for such men as Pickett in the great, overgrown cities whore vice is cloaked and where it fes. ters in the slums; but in a city of this size, where we all know each other and wo live us one hig family there can bo no excuse for such vile, foul, indecent i ravings There were scores of young men and women in that tent last night ami for | the first time they heard of crimes so hideous that it was a sin against God and good mothers to utter their very names. Pickett has turned his "revival" tent into a cesspool. It is a stench in our nostrils and the man or woman who enters it again ought to bo treated as the creature of most unclean habits. Just read what this foul-mouthod man had to say last night! He is no preacher of anything Christ taught. He is hardly human. Drive him out; the air is rank with the poisonous odor of foul weeds while he breaths under these skies. His breath will suffocate pure women and young girls. It will intoxicate and make mad decent white men. White Men Turns Yellow. ( rent consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Ijoxington, Ky.f when they saw he was turning yellow. His skill slowly changed color, also his eves, and lie suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jnumlicu. He was treated by the best doctors, but Wit hour benefit.
