The Senatorial Primary. i
Columbia, May 28.?Senator McLaurin 1
has written the following letter to Col. 1
Wilie Jones, Chairman of the Democratic <
State executive committee, in which he (
protests against holding a primary in
August, and suggesting that the joint 1
resignation be not accepted until after
the primary, so that certain matters may ]
be looked after, which include the ,
Charleston Exposition. Another reason
seems to be to eliminate all contestants 1
except Tillman and McLaurin. The i
letter follows: ]
Dear Col. Jones: I note in to-day's j
paper that you speak of the campaign be- ,
tween myself and Senator Tillman beginning
about August 1. This is.entirely out i
of the question so far as I am concerned.
I made it a point to date the resignation
September 15, because I knew that it was 1
absolutely impossible for me to canvass s
the State until the weather became cooler. ]
I resigned in good faith to submit this
question to the voters of South Carolina.
I want fair treatment and an opportuni- "
ty to present my case to the people. Sen- *
ator Tillman intruded himself into this
tight. I anj xeadvJiQ. fight to a. finish, but ?
want no "draw" or "fouling." wly sug- "
gestiou would be, as Congress does not 1
meet until December 4th, that the com- t
mittee request Governor McSweeney to j
withhold action until the result of the t
primary is announced, and then appoint
the man receiving the highest number of
votes. Let the Legislature elect my sue- 1
cesser, as it is only for a short time, or let v
you gentlemen who desire to contest ar- j
range your canvass entirely apart from
mine and Tillman's.
I would also suggest that you permit (
he and I to arrange the schedule for our t
. Tt n,r> /lacira t/\ nnndnM ?
UlCttlllgd. It 1^ 111 J UVOI1W WV VVMUMVV V*
clean, decent canvass, free from personalities,
if permitted to do so; but I am
ready to take what comes. I wish it dis- i
tinctly understood, however, that I can- (
not entertain the idea of canvassing in
August, and that one man at a time is all
I care to tight. I had enough of the four *
to one business in 1897. I appeal to you
as man apd chairman of the party for
fair play.
The reason I suggest withholding action
on our resignations until after the
primary is that there are many postoftice 1
and other matters of interest to the State, j
among which I might mention the
Charleston Exposition, which demand ,
the attention of a Senator. To take j
away from the State this protection tor
even six weeks may cause trouble. I do ,
not care personally, however, what is
done about this, but think it my duty to (
mention it. Yours respectfully,
John L. McLaukin. i
what chairman jones says.
Col. Jones had not received Senator '
McLaurin's letter this afternoon, but was
shown a published copy. Until he does
receive the letter there will be no official
reply, of course. Col. Jones, however, i
had the following to say generally in reply
: "So far as the time is concerned,
that will have to be fixed by the committee.
I merely suggested August be the
usual time, when farmers have laid by
their crops and have time to attend the
meetings. Senator McLaurin may rest
assured that the executive committee of
the Democratic party, of which I have
the honor to be chairman, will give him
* ' ? I? rI^ 1> A
ausoiuiciy imr iruiuucuu x no oUS6ii-tion
that the Governor hold the resignations
at the request of the committee is a
matter for the whole committee to decide.
The question as to tilling the long term
or short term is a matter for the committee
to act on, and one which will be only
recommendatory. Any suggestion to the
Legislature would not be binding. Personally
I believe a campaign for the long
term Senators this year and another lor
the short term next year would involve a
double expense, which can be easily settled
to the satisfaction of the voters of
the State by one election. When both
positions have been resigned by the incumbents
it will certainly be less expensive
to till both places at once.
' As to whether the committee will allow
the suggestion of Senator McLaurin,
that he and Senator Tillman be permitted
to arrange the schedule to suit themselves,
is a question for the committee to
decide, hut that has never been done."

Idle Tales of Idle Fishermen.
Oi.ait, May 22.?Your scribe had the
pleasure of spending a half day with a
couple of friends in the pleasing occupation
of fishing and general social conversation,
during which they (both old time
fishermen of no mean repute) gave me a
j history of some of their best days of piscatorial
sport, all of which is fully vouched
for by these gentlemen, and being gentlemen
of veracity in ordinary everyday
matters, I reproduce some of their greatest
exploits for the benefits of other lovers
of the sport. Among the talcs told by
Mr. F., whose home is near the old mill
(Dowling's), are the following, viz: At
one time lie caught 120 red horse weighing
from 24 to 4 lbs. Think of it! At an
- ' i . ? r
average 01 <5 ids. we nave ouu pounus <>i
fish. At another time he with two friends
caught with gigs three boat loads of trout.
He vouches for the fact that the boats
were loaded all that they would carry.
Of the large ones caught by this gentleman
were a trout weighing 111 pounds, a mud
weighing pounds, and a jack weighing
0 pounds. Mr. \\\, who perhaps
knows more about fish and how to catch
them than any other man in this section,
says he and two or three others, each
man with a boat, paddling up and down
Saltkehatehie, caught 121) jack?and that
without hooks, lines, gigs or any kind of
utackle" whatever, the jack simply jumping
in the boats. He added that they
were forced to stand in the boats to prevent
the fish from putting out their eyes
and otherwise injuring them by jumping
against their faces. Hi*/ largest fish
caught were as follows: A trout weighing
1H pounds, a mud weighing 8.1
pounds, and a jack weighing 4.1 pounds.
Mr. W. also spoke of taking 1)3 large red
horse out of a home-made bag net at one
time, and although a strong man, he was
forced to leave them until he could go
borne for a wagon to haul them away.
These and many other similar stories
served to pass the time pleasantly in the
intervals between times of taking of? fish
Hid putting bait on our hooks, and right
now, Mr. Editor, we extend to you an
invitation to come and enjoy a day or
two with us, in this, the best of sport. If
frou will come we will endeavor to initiate
fou into the mysteries and pleasures of
>uch a day, provided you are not already
'up" in the art of fishing.
The long continued heavy rains of the
Hast few days have placet! our farmers far
behind with their work. Having been
'orced to plant the bulk of the cotton
;rop over, makes it late, and the rains beng
so heavy till plowing was and still is
mpracticable, thus giving grass and
weeds free rein aud an elegant oppor,unity
to do their work. Iteally, we see
n 9ur travels many fields that are .prac.ically
ruined from this cause, but the
'man behind the hoe" (and plow too) in
;his section is a plucky fellow, and with
;he return of favorable weather he will
narshall his forces against those of
'General Green" and make a game fight,
uid if defeat is inevitable, he will at least
lie hard.
Our little town, while a little quiet just
how, is still forging along the pathway of
progress very nicely. Her energetic, progressive
citizens don't know what it is to
jo backwards. There are several neat
cottages being erected which will add a
jreat deal to the looks of our village.
The oat crop is unusually fine, and
Harvesting will go forward as soon as the
weather will permit. It is indeed fortulate
that this crop is good for stock food
is scarcer than any time in many years.
Vlelons are looking very promising,
iimicrh Hire the seasons thev are behind.

A cough is not a disease but a symptom.
Consumption and bronchitis, which are
the most dangerous and fatal diseases,
have for their tirst indication a persistent .
cough, and if properly treated as soon
as this cough appears are easily cured.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has proven
wonderfully successful, and gained its
wide reputation and extensive sale by
its success in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not beneficial it
will not cost you a cent. For sale by

plenty of time is given to build it. Our orders
were placed last October for May 1st,
shipment. When you look at these jobs
they may look just like other buggies, but
they arc better. Plenty of time has been
given for everything. This is of more importance
than you can imagine. They will
lie as dry as a bone and ready for business
when the flowers bloom. Yes, the styles are
right, selected by our experienced buyer. I !
Visit us at our repository and let us talk it
over with you, and bring the ladies along.
They may not be a judge of quality, but
they do know something about style. We
will appreciate a visit anyway, and will
promise not to bother you about buying unIicss
we think you are interested. Will have J
