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.

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."

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

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

Progress In Agriculture.
At the Cabinet meeting in i
Washington Friday Secretary of |
Agriculture Wilson discussed some 1
of the recent work of his depart- <
inent in new tields. Ho has been
making roiiio interesting investigations
also in the Philippines
and believes that the soil of that <
territory is capable of producing 1
the highest grade of agricultural 1
products. After leaving the Cabi- 1
net Secretary Wilson said: - 1
"i told mv associates what we i
are doing. Now in tobacco: This |
country sells $.'{0,000,000 worth of i
tobacco,and buys $13,000,000 worth
of high-priced varieties. We have <
to pay $5,000,000 for Sumatra wrap- , i
pers. Now, our department is i
teaching the American people how i
to produce that in the United
States. We took the gold medal i j
at the Paris Exposition for the j
finest Sumatra tobacco. We have |
been paying $8,000,000 a year for ;
filler tobacco, mostly Cuban. We ,
are conducting experiments now (
hi this line of production, with the j
result that we hope to see most of ,
the filler tobacco produced in the
United States. ]

A OREENVlILLR sensation.
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. Then be wn?i

Stomach and Liver remedy, and lie
writes, "After taking two bottles I was

| Your letter came, but came t oo late,
For Heaven liad claimed it n own;
, Ah, sudden change! from prison burs
Unto the Great White Thifone!
And yet I think he would ha ve stayed
! For one more day of )jain
' Could he have rend those taidy words
. That you linve sent in vain.
Why did you wait fuir lady

His spirit had no peer.
I wish that you were by in j now,
As I druw the sheet asido,
To see how pure the look he wore
Awhile before he died.
1 Yet the sorrow that you gave him
Still had left its weary 1 race,
And a meek and saintly sadness
Dwells upon his {tullid fi ce.
"Her love" he said, "could Jbhange for me ,
The winter's cold to sprjing;"
' Ah. trust to thoughtless njiaiden's love,
Thou art a bitter thing!!
For when these valleys fair in May,
Once more with blooms! shall wave, (
The Northern violets slialjl blow
Above his humble gruyo.
Your dole of scanty words had been
But one more pang to blear;
Though, to the last, ho kilssed with love
This tress of your soft pair.
I did not put it where he) said.
For, when the angels dome.

Of falsehood in the tomb.
I've read the letter, and)I know
The wiles tliat you haye wrought <
To win that noble heart of his.
And gained it?fearful thought!?
What lavish wealth meif sometimes give
For a trifle, light and small!
What manly forms are often held
In Folly's flimsy thrall 1 ^

Than clasped in yovr embrace.
Tonight, your moms aye very gay,
With wit, ami wine; and song;
