The earthquake was es pecially severe In the Piedmont sec tion, although It was felt In other parts of the State in a leaser degree At Gaffney chimneys were caused to topple and at Union chimneys fell. At Greenville the shock proved se vere enough to cause vases to crash from mantels.

In the December number of the Hearst magarlne a letter from Sena tor J. L. McLaurln to John D. Arch bold, the active business manager of tho Standard Oil Company, was published. This letter is followed by the public action in the January num ber of several letters that passed be tween McLaurln, Archbold and others Some of these letters speak of tht campaign in this Slate made by Sen ator Mcl^aurln in bis effo'rt to eatab- llsn the commercial Democracy, which brought on a rupture between SenatorTlllman and nimself am. which resulted finally In the retire ment of McLaurln. From these let ters It will be seen that Senator Mc Laurln In his tight against Senator Tillman was backed by the Standard Oil Company, which waa anxious to have Senator Tillman defeated. In introducing the letters Hears; says "In the last chapter we beheld Senator McLauhln. a Democrat, writ ing Mr Archhold and conveying cer tain Information regarding Mr Roosevelts expressions of hostility toward the Standard Oil Company This Information was not sent be -au»e of McLaurln • Democratic bos tiltty to Mr Roosevelt, a Republican The reader will »ee from a Utte, published later In this article .ha Mcl^aurm personally liked Roosevelt Senator McLaurin s warning to Mr Archbold was therefore merely an irt of non partisan *erotlon to th« Standard OH Company to enable Mr Archbold intelligently to consider tbi :,*st Interests of the Standard Ot ompany In the Impending election Senator McLaurln was out of office t’ the time, but he remembered pas' 'x'ors and hsd al Ixely sens* of favors to come " ha- all the favor* were that ffen ator McLaurln had received from th* Standard (ill ('ompany we cannot tell bu» what some of them are we car '*•!! ’> M l.aur:n's own correspon 1»-nre In the first letter to be pro duct-d in this series Mr Archbolc* merely acknowledges the courteout all of Senator Me' aur'.n Apparent '> t. o mutual y advantageous assoc la Dons ba! as yet developed betweer 'hege two gentlemen Senator Me Laur n had [-erhaj-e beard from fei lo.v s-UH’o r s of Mr. Archbold’s be root,lent ,*.;spo«!tion and natural!' wanted 'o establish agreeable rela tp'ns with so noted a ['olltica! phil antroplat Senator McLaurln tia<' announced him coming by the follow tig lefer. but through a mlsnudei Islanding had mlaaed Mr. Arrhbold Februrary 1 3.1900 My dear sir 1 1 am very sorry Indeed to havt i nr.sBcd your call on Saturday.

Archbold Hon .1 L. McLaurln, Washington, D. C. Commenting on the above letter Hearst says "there Is no mention In the letter of any requirements on the part of Senator McLaurln, but Mr Arrhbold seems to realize that Sens tor McLaurln did not call upon him merely for the purpose of inquiring about his health So although no re Ms health. So that although no re quirements are mentioned the letter of Mr Archhold is so friendly tho* If Senator MODfTkirin has any re quirement*. he will be deprived of any hesitation about expressing them at an early date. And surely enough In the next letter of the series we find that Senator McLaurln has had re quirements all along, and Is moving tc bring them to Mr Archbold’* at- 'ention through a common friend. Mr Cras'v Mr. Grastv know* benevo lent Uncle Archbold's establishment where embarrassed politicians can pnwn their Independence and receive such accomodations as are requ'red. He knowa hhw eager Uncle Archbold 1* to do buslnes* with anv good polit ical risk and he was vydlling therefore to present Senator McLaurln’s caae to Unde Archbold, which he did on February 10. On Febuary 19 after the call of Senator McLaurln Mr. Archbold answered Mr. Crafty as fol lows- February 19. 190®. Mr Thos P. Grasty, Baltimore, Md.

Very truly yours, Jno. D. Archbold. "Mr. Archbold "will be glad to see Senator McLaurln here any day," and Mr. Archbold continues "no doubt we can arrange the nyxtter to hit satisfaction." Thus we see that not withstanding Senator McLaurln's social call and }(r. Archbold'a elab orately polite letter In return, there was something to be arranged to Sipator McLaurln’* "aatlsfactlon." Encouraged by Mr. Archbold’s will- Ingness to "arrange the matter," Senator McLaurln promptly tele graphed Mr. Archbold. The letter to Mr. Uraaty which waa written on February 19th. waa undoubtly receiv ed by Mr. Grasty a day or two later and then forwarded to Senator Mc Laurln. who too eager to wait for the mails promptly telegraphed Mr. Arch bold at No. 26 Broadway. Mr. Arcu- bold telegraph’s the Senator In return and welcomes the Senator with in< encouraging phrase, "glad to see you any day next week except Saturday.” Feb. 23, 1900. Hon. Jno. L.

[Var Mr Archbold I have pushed the fight so vigor oualy that they called on Tillman, met him at Gaffney and beat him at his ov n j-ame. I called his bluff, am' now the fight Is for two seat* In the S^na'e Instead of one. I can hea* Tillman If properly and generously Burporled. There 1* no time to loosi however. I enclose an account of both meetings for your information With kindest regards, 1 am sincerely yours, Jno. L. McLaurln. "Senator Mel.aurln has pushed his fight vigorously and is reporting pro trees to tho Standard Oil Company Tillman has been called upon to rep resent the people, as usual. McT.au- rin report* that he has met Tillman at Gaffney and "called his bluff” “And,” continues Mel.aurln, "now the fight Is for two seats In the Sen ate instead of one.” There I* an op portunity for the Standard Oil Com pany to get Tillman out of the Senate with his old-fashioned Idea* about the rights of the people and his an archistic hostility to tho control of government by criminal corpora tions. The Standard Oil Company will, of course, be Interested In de feating Tillman and In gaining “two seats in the Senate Instead of one," and Senator McLaurln proceeds to explain how It can be done. "There are conditions which must be met. There are necessities which must be recognized. ‘I can beat TlD- man,’ says Senator Mf'I,aur1n, ‘If properly and generously suoported McLaurln will pnt up the fight if the Standard Oil Company will put up the money.

He Has Decided to Accept the Chair manship of the Important Commit tee on Appropriation*. A Charleston dispatch say it ta re ported in a special from Washington that Senator Tillman has decided to take the chairmanship of the appro priations committee in preference to ti e naval committee or the commerce committee, because the appropria tion work will be leas onerous for him. If he does this, there will be coualderable disappointment in this State, since It was hoped that ht would assume the head of the power- lul naval body. The special from Washington la at follows: "Senator John Walter Smith, of Maryland, will be chairman of thi Senate naval affairs committee when the upper branch of Congress la re organized. according to the preaen- Democratic program. "Thl* fact developed wnen party aders became convinced that Sen ater Tillman of South Carolina, now^ ih« ranking Democrat on the com lull tee, had decided to take the chair -nanshlp of the committee on appro priatlons. "Since It became known definitel y 'hat the Democrats would organize the next Senate, Senator Smith hav been ambitious to head the naval ai fairs committee. "Senator Tillman, however, ha loid friend* that he did not fee strong enough to meet file duties o 'he naval committee. Having f I nice between two or even threr n ortant chairmanships, the South •rn r has decided to taks that of th« pp:"prlaMons committee leaving th> xurn free to name Senator Bmltl or the more exacting position.

Very truly yours, Jno. D. Archbold Hon. J. C. Sibley, Franklin, Pa. The fact that Senator" Tillman was upon the popular side made him a fit subject for Mr. Archbold’s vitup eration, and again we have an exam nle of Mr. Archbold’a disposition, so d pical of all men of hia class, to at- t.lbule unworthy motives to all those that oppose him and to applaud the purposes of all those that agree with b'n "Tillman Is ao rank .* dema- rogue" in Mr. Archbold’s opinion be cause he Insiats upon representing the people of his State Instead of be coming a subservient tool of the Standard Oil Company. On the other hand Mr. Archibold expresses his "great admiration” for Senator McLaurin’s “wise and cour ageous course,” because Senator Me- I.aurln had called for Standard Oil support and put hhneelf under obli gations to the Standard Oil inter ests.
