'nine Xwiei>oiei< rUULISIJKU Tl'KKDAY AND KKIDAY. HY Kn. II. DkCamp. I’AHDONN. Governor McSweeney is using the pardoning power pretty freely, though we do not dare to say, too freely. The Governor is a man of good sense and clear judgment, and ho has shown that he has the courage to act on his own judgment, and it is not likely that he would suffer himself to be unduly swayed from the path of duty by his sympathy with those whose crimes have brought distress upon themselves and others. We do say, however, that it is unfortunate and indicates inefficiency or negli gence in the courts, that with all their long drawn-out investigations and exasperating delays, so much material evidence is loft to be devel oped after the criminal has been con victed and sentenced. Chaffin who killed Grube in Green ville, and who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life im prisonment, has been pardoned after three years, service, on the ground of good conduct in the penitentiary and the discovery that Grube was a man who could use his right hand and his left with equal facility. It seems that Chaffin swore at the trial that Grube struck him with a stick held in his right hand, whereas it was proved by witnesses that Grube was . a left-hand man. Now, after three years it is discovered that Grube is an ambidextrous man, so Chaffin’s state ment is vindicated, or at least ren dered not improbable, and he is thought by judge, jury, solicitor, lawyers and friends to bo worthy of pardon. Well, so he may be, but his worthiness hangs by a very Blender thread. It is all right for the Governor to have the pardoning power; and it is all right for him to use it, when justice clearily demands it. There are times when owing to the limita tions of legal forms and the exac tions of legal technicalities, the courts cannot administer strict jus tice. There are other times when subsequent developments overwhelm- ingly prove the injustice of legaj decisions. Then the Governor is the final hope of injured innocence. Hut such times are rare, and the courts would bo a source of far greater terror to evil doers, if their decisions, as a rule, were to be con sidered final. THK OKUtCNVlLLK f'lKK. Greenville has had the most de structive fire in its history, and ac cording to the News, nothing but the stillness of the air saved the main business portion of the city from be ing consumed. It seems that the fire companies were poorly organized and equipped, and there were no adequate means at hand of success fully'contending with the Hames. No doubt Greenville after so sharp a visitation will now see to it that she will not be caught again so poorly prepared to contend with fire, and other towns should take warning. Common prudence suggests that all possible preparations be made before the fire comes, but it is a matter of observation that towns generally must suffer severely before they awake to the importance of making adequate provision for their safety. ' Wo have again and again urged ^ Gaffney to adopt decided and ade quate measures for contending with fire, but so far as we know there is utter indifference with regard to the whole subject. Some of these times a fire will break out and the town , will be in the condition of Greenville the other night; without a ladder long enough to reach a second story, with not even an ax at hand to break in a door, withjhose out of order, water in convenient, and everybody shouting to somebody else to bring something or to do something. Then if the wind should not be favorable the town will pay dearly for its past easy going indifference. KttH Jaiie Note* (Correspondence of The Ledcer.) Etta Jane, 8. C., June 20.—Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Holder and child ren, of Glendale, visited Mr. John M. Poster’s family last week. The rains have greatly retarded farm operations. In many places corn has been planted over three times and the land Is now ready for the fourth planting. Cotton hasn’t been chopped out yet. The cool nights and rains have kept it back and, for the time of year, the pros pects are rather gloomy. Wheat Is pronounced good. Oats are fair, with few exceptions. Mrs. Newton Burgess, of Sarratt’s, died very suddenly last Baturday night at her home. 8he was buried at Gilead church. The particulars of her death we are unable to give intelligently at this writing. Mrs. John Foster, whose Illness has frequently been mentioned in this ’ correspondence, is still very unwell. On last Habbath night J. L. Strain, N. P., married Mr. Adolphus Lanier and Miss Mary Woolbrlgbt. Court, as usual, came on In a very busy season.

The I’lcdge for Camlldates May Itv Amend ed Next Year. The Columbia correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution says that Sena tor McLaurin will bo barred from the Democratic primary next summer. Senator Tillman said, before the re cent resignations, that ho would op pose such action, but now says that while he does not think it wise it is a matter with which he has nothing to do, and it has been already deter mined upon. The State chairman of the party, Colonel Jones, was called on today and asked whether his com mittee contemplated excommunicat ing the junior Senator. "I cannot speak for the committee as a whole,” he said, "and I have not seen all the members recently, but so far as I can ascertain of the forty members only Stat° Senator Appelt is a McLaurin man. And it is ques tionable whether the committee will meet this year. If McLaurin gets to 'cutting up’ in tho State and action is deemed necessary, any five mem bers of the committee can force me to call a meeting.” Colonel Jones will be a candidate next year himself. He thinks Sena tor McLaurin is a f u!i fledged Repub lican. The action of ruling him out of the party is more likely to be taken by the new committee or the State convention. This committee will be chosen next April and the convention will meet about May 1st. "There is where the lirst fight will be,” said Chairman Jones. "Mc Laurin will no doubt attempt to get control of the county convention in which delegates will be selected and committeemen chosen.” The chairman felt certain that ac tion would be taken in one way or another that would prevent McLaurin going into the Democratic primary. If the convention does not forestall the new committee next May and de clare McLaurin a R-ipnblican it can add two or three lines to the oath the party constitution requires to be taken by all candidates that would bar him out. The addition of "and that I stand squarely upon the Kan sas City platform and will abide by Democratic caucuses,” will have the effect of eliminating the junior Sena tor. These oaths must be signed and put into the hands of the State chair man before the first meeting of the campaign. Those who do not so sub scribe cannot speak from the stand during the hours fixed for the meet ing, cannot have tickets with their names upon them displayed at the polling places and cannot have any ballots counted. It is pointed out that McLaurin would not take such an oath, but if he did, after declaring for independence of action, it would be disastrous to his inliuence. - This plan about the oath has been devised by those high in authority in the party and it is most likely to bo carried through. It will attain tho sagae end as reading McLaurin out of the party without gaining him so much sympathy. It is feared that to put him off from acMressing the people by a positive action, when he is willing to take the regulation oath that "I am a Democrat and will abide by the result of this primary and will not be a candidate at the general election of any other party or faction,” will give the appearance of persecution. Senator McLaurin says he dares them to read him out of the party, declaring that if free speech is cut off and the people are not permitted to hear him he will split the party wide open. But just what he will do in the matter of the oath has not been considered. In fact, the junior Senator is yet in ignorance of this latest scheme. Governor McSweeney, who will be among the candidates for Senator next year, and who was vice State chairman for one term, was asked for his views about the proposed barring out of Senator McLaurin. The Gov ernor was disposed to be non-com mittal. He was not now a member of the committee, he said, and could not properly indorse or condemn any proposed action. However, it was evident the Governor approved of a plan to keep McLaurin out of the primary, lie could not understand, be said, how McLaurin could take the oath as now provided. He was not in the party. His greatest blunder was in refusing to stay in and abide by the Democratic caucus. When he did not abide by the de cisions of that body he disregarded the ruling of the inner circle of the party and put himself on the outside. He could not properly claim to be a Democrat.

Coi.rMBfA, Juno 18 —The week Monday, June 17th, averaged only slightly cooler than usual, with a maximum of fH at Batesburg on the 11th, ami a minimum of 01 at Green ville ar.d Spartanburg on the lOtb. There vvaa a decided and harmful de ficiency in sunshine. General and heavy ruins prevailed from the 13*h to tho close of the week, with amounts varying from two to over “ix inches, und averaging 3 40 for the State, which is nearly equal to the normal June precipita tion. Bottoms were flooded, hillsides washed, bridges carried away and lands generally have become boggy, and were unfit for cultivation except from two to three days early in the week. All field crops have been in jured by this excessive moisture, want of proper cultivation and lack of sunshine, and fields have become foul with grass and weeds over the entire State. All cotton has not been chopped out. and many fields are lousy, and foul with grass, so that there are nu merous reports of abandoning them, while in some localities some already have been ploughed under and plant ed to corn. The plants continue small, and are yellow. In Marlboro county,and in the sou-island districtP, there is some improvement noted; elsewhere, general deterioration. On sandy lands the plants are dying to some extent from wetness. Corn has made slow growth, but on the uplands of the western half of the State retains its healthy color. Bot tom land corn was washed away, and will have to be replanted, Some for th« fourth time. ■ In the eastern sec tions, corn looks yellow, and it is tus- seling low, and has received perma nent injury, while over the whole State it is in need of work and sun shine. The heavy rains, and worms, in places, have damaged tobacco; and in Marlboro county only is any im provement noted. Caterpillars have made their appearance on rice in Colleton. In the Georgetown districts the freshets are only now subsiding, leaving the lands in poor condition for either cultivation or planting. In the lower districts, and on uplands, rice is excellent.
