Thursday, May 30, 1901. ?i>i.ir?iv i\n Tin.viv Since the last issue of this paper events Pof the sensational kind have transpired in South Carolina politics. Senators Tillman and McLaurin have tendered their resignations to the governor, and ? ? therels to be a campaign between them this fall for the long term in the Senate. This action was brought about as a result of the speaking at Gaffnev last Saturday. t Wednesday of last week Senator McLaurin made a s]>eech in Greenville, by appointment and at the invitation of the most promiuent business men of that city. In that speech he outlined his policy and advanced arguments which are simply unanswerable. We hope to publish the speech in full in the form of a W' supplement, so that our readers can read it for themselves, therefore we shall not comment on it here. McLaurin had also been invited to speak at Gaffnev on Saturday and had accepted. This invitation was also extended by business men. After, this invitation had been extended to McLaurin, Tillman gets himself invited to speak the same day?thereby in an officious and cheeky manner injecting him I sen into a meeting wnere ne was not wanted and interfered in a matter with - which he had nothing to do. Let it be borne in mind that he was invited by a different committee from that which invited Senator McLaurin. However, McLaurin consented to a joint debate with Tillman, as he was not afraid to meet . him, or any other man, in a discussion. The meeting was duly held and McLaurin spoke first, making a strong, logical speech on the issues he represents. Tilltman followed ripping and ranting around as usual, making no argument against the views presented by McLaurin but indulging in the harangue of a demagogue. McLaurin replied and poured hot shot into Tillman. The result of the meeting was that immediately after it was over Tillman*sent a proposition to McLaurin for them both to resign. After some changes, a paper was signed by each of them and mailed to the governor, tendering their resignations to take effect September 15th. This means that there will be a race for the U. S. Senate between John L. McLaurin and B. R. Tillman, the campaign to take place during the months of Octo-. ber and November, unless some action shall be taken before that time to free us from the excitement of a useless political campaign. As it stands now the seats of both senators will be vacant after SeptomKor Thic trill nef>?xcifitp a nrini#rr for both places. Tillman and McLaurin Sfe. will undoubtedly make the race for the long term, and there are several candidates already spoken of for the short ? term. It seems certain now that the candidates for the place will be: Latimer, Wilie Jones, Geo. Johnstone, M. B. McSweeney, G. Duncan Bellinger, D. S. Henderson, and possibly others. When the entries are all in we will announce our preference of candidates. jsj&y % In the race between McLaurin and Tillman, this newspaper will earnestly support McLaurin. We were both raised in the same town and have known him all our life. We know him to be honest in every way and true to his people and his State. We have always supported him heretofore, and our support of him in this campaign will be no new thing for us. We regret that we are to have a campaign this year. There is absolutely no use for it, and it was brought about by Tillman's egotism in going to Gaffney, and meddling. He said in his speech there: "If vou elect McLaurin I will take it as notice that you do not want me." He made a bluff at McLaurin ahoat resigningand McLaurin called it^ We think both men made a mistaj^H^resigning, and hope that the mattf^vill be- settled in some way withoa^naving a primary "this year: We'ifre to have one next year anyway, and we think the people should have a rest. If Tillman was so anxious to fight McLaurin, he should have tendered his resignation to take effect next year, and run in the primary next summer. There was no need for McLaurin to re* . 1^. sign, as he has to run again next year an)'way. The incident has convinced us of a few things, however: 1. That the so-called "McLaurin movement" is very strong all over the State. Ben Tillman doesn't fight spooks. 2. That Tillman thinks he is the strong est man in the State, and the only one that can beat McLaurin. 3. That the idea of a primary this year is to prevent as far as possible the dis-' semination among the people of the views held by McLaurin. 4. Tillman sees ahead the downfall of himself unless he can kill this movement in its infancy, and that is why he has thrown himself into the breach. 5. That Tillman and other old-line politicians t>elieve the only way to defeat McLaurin is to have the tight on him made this year, and that thev actuallv want the extra primary. Senator Tillman says if McLaurin is a Democrat he is not. What kind of Democrat is the senior Senator ? A few years ago he threatened to leave the Demo- J cratic party and talked a good deal al>out: seeing "light in the West." lie also abused Grover Cleveland, who was at that time president and naturally the recognized head of the party. Will Senator Tillman please inform us if he was a ?.... Democrat then; if not, what was he? If a Democrat then, what is he now? Wliat kind of a Democrat was he then and J what kind of a Democrat is he now? When is a Populist a Democrat, and 'a** when is a Democrat a Populist ? Can a ! Wt - man be a Democrat and Populist at the W V;.- same time? As Mr. Tillman lias set himself up as an>^ample of "Democracy" in South Carolina, we make bold to ask these questions.v We confess to not being posted on such matters, but if Gov. McSweency lias the right to refuse to accept the resignations of Senators Tillman and MeLaurin, he should do so. It is wrong to plunge ; our people into the turmoil and excitement of a political campaign this year. A large majority of the voters don't want it. and there should be some way to stop such a piece of foolishness. When MeLaurin went back to his home at Bennettsville, from the Galfney meeting, a large crowd of the best citizens of his home town went down to his house and called him up out of bed to assure him of their support in his race against Tillman. This shows the confidence the I men who have known McLaurin intimate[ ly all his life have in hint. We have not heard that Tillman had any welcome gathering of his people when be got back home. McLaurin and Tillman have set an example which should be followed by all aspirants for Senatorial honors. Evenman who holds a political position should resign it when he enters the race for the Senate. For instance, McSweeney should resigu as governor; Latimer as congressman ; Jones as State chairman; Bellinger as attorney general; Henderson as State Senator front Aikeu county. All these should give up their present positions if the}- run for U. S. Senator. Wanted it to Stop Her Talk. I A woman fainted in town yesterday. She came in with her husband to see the circus?any circus is "the" circus, you know. Under the acres and acres of canvas?every circus spreads "acres of can vas," you know?she became suddenly ill, whether at sight of the roaring lion or sound of moaning whang-doodle, was not discovered, but, becoming ill, the good woman promptly fainted. A cab was called hurriedly, and the husband placed his wife in the cab, they 1 were driven hurriedly to the office of a physician. The physician felt of the wife's pulse, tested her heart action, and ' then, placing a febrile thermometer in her mouth, he bade her close her mouth and keep it shut, she having recovered her senses. The wife did as she was bidden, and the doctor looked steadily at his watch, his finger on her pulse, and counted; the seconds run into a minute, two minutes? .three! And then the husband asked eagerly and anxiously: "Say, doc, what'll yer take fer that 1 thing?" pointing to the thermometer. "Why?" demanded the physician. " 'Cause hits the first time I ever knowed 'er to hoi' 'er tongue that long."

Before he solved ! the enigma of love-lock he had married [ five sisters.!?in reasonable lapses of conj secutiveness. After one wife had been [ lost and appropriately mourned he espoused another, and he kept liis courting within a narrow circle of his own rela I tives, for he rather liked the family. The antiquated father of these girls was | almost deaf, and when the governor went I to this octogenarian to ask for his surviving daughter the following conversation ensued: S "I want Lizzie!" j "Eh?" "I want you to letmehaveEliz-a-beth!" "Oh, you want Lizzie, do you. AY hat for?" "For my wife!" "For life?" "I want?to?marry?her!" "Oh, yes! Just so. I hear you, boy." "I'm precious glad you do!" niuJ^erelT the governor. "Well," slowly responded the veteran, "you {needn't holler so that the whole neighborhood knows itf Yes; you can have her. Yotrre got 'em all now, my lad; but-foTgoodness' sake, if anything happens to that 'ere poor misguided gal, don't come and ask me for the old woman !" : Jackson solemnly promised that he never would.?Tit-Bits.

One of the Southern Bishops enjoys telling the following story on his own daughter. Strongly imbued with her father's doctrine. she had yrown Ul> a strict Episcopalian, and had never at- 1 tended a revival or camp meeting in her life, although, as her younger brother re- : marked, "The woods were full of them." When she was about sixteen she went ' to visit an old friend of her mother's, in New York, and her hostess, after much persuasion, prevailed on her to go to hear Tom Harrison, the famous boy evangelist. "But, Mrs. Burnett," she had finally i objected, "suppose he would speak to me, I'd be so frightened I shouldn't know what to say." , "Why, Virginia," her hostess had re- i plied, "the church will In1 so crowded ' that nothing is more unlikely than he ! should single out either one of us." But the girls fear's were realized. As the great preacher left the pulpit and passed down the aisle, exhorting first ^ this one, then that one, he paused at the , pew where the Bishop's daughter was seated. "My dear child," he said earnestly, "are 1 you a Christian ?" . 1 "N?no, sir," she replied/Tm an Episcopalian." With a twinkle in his his eye the evangelist passed on without another word.

Frank Ingrain, a negro, was tried in the criminal court at Opelika, Ala., for horse stealing, says the Anniston Hot Blast. When placed on the stand he told the following story, in an interesting, straightforward manner: He said he was passing the stable where the horse in question was, and seeing the open gate he thought he would shut it. He decided there was no use to close the gate if there was no stock inside, so he looked to see. Seeing the horse there, he started off to fasten the gate, and stumbled against a bridle lying on the up and discovered that the horse was following him, and the bridle caught on the horse's head, and being one that closed with a snap, it fastened. Realizing that no one would believe that the bridle would fasten itself, he decided he would fasten the gate, climb the fence and flee, this he did, and the horse jumped the eight foot fenca and pursued him. He fled in terror, and the horse ran him nearly a quarter of a mile. Seeing that the horse was gaining on him, he got to one side of the road and squatted partly down to let the horse pass without seeing him. The horse ran between his legs and caught him up on its back and carried him on. despite his efforts to get off. When seven or eight miles from the stable, he says, the horse became conjured, *nd told him that he was going to throw liiin off, which was done. That was the last he saw of the horse. lie told the story in dead earnestness, while the court ollieers stood with bated breath and gaping mouth, and listened with awe at the weird story. The jury, having no case against the horse for kidnapping the negro, promptly convicted the negro for the strange ride. "It is with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction ihat I recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Druggist A. W. Sawtelle, of Hartford, Conn. "A lady customer, seeing the remedy exposed for sale ou my show case, said to me: 'I really believe that medicine saved my life the past summer while at the shore,'and she became so enthusiastic over its merits that I at once made up my mind to recommend it in the future. Recently a gentleman came into my store so overcome with colic pains that he sank at once to (lie floor. I gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the ilose and in fifteen minutes he left my store smilingly informing me that he felt as well as ever." Sold by Bamberg rnarmaey. Taken at His Own Word. A recent tour of a rather well-known lecturer included a certain small town in New England. The lecturer was waited on by the chairman of the committee in charge of the alfair, with a request that he tell him what to say in introducing the speaker to the audience. 'Tell them any old thing you please," was the characteristic reply. "Say, if roll like, that I'm the most distinguished man itt the country." The committeeman was a man without humor. "Ladies and gentiemen," he begaii, "I have the honor to introduce to you Mr. . of New York. I don't know him. I never saw liini before and I know nothing about him, but he tells me he is the most distinguished man in the United States."
