STRAIT.! a* i m He Accuses McLaiurin of Writing j it the Neal Letter. t v To the People of South Carolina ;!:u Since manifestos, addresses arid ! a' exposes are in order in South P Carolina, I have decided to have I ds a word to say. Tims-tar player in I t lie recent pel forma nee has been J< writing Iks own plav, eriticising" T and damning ;,li others while C-' painting hi own p i; in gjowi.ig ' *v colors without r"gard to truth or '' tho interests of any save himself. I Nv I have decided it to be my duty to keep quiet no longer while hel:1' is all ?wed to exph ;f tiirns If ami v1 his action-, through the leading! newspapers of our state. I shall I si confine myselt to a statement o f:i? ts? that ran he fully substantia ' hi ted bv tlie entire del'gation in'oi congress, and, 111 fact, all w h?> M? have had an opportunity from ' the inside to observe closely the 1' trend of matters during the lied ! ai six years. The peon!.' of South 1 *= Carolina have rijdit to know ct what is now and what has been It going on behind the curtain. '1 And when they have learned all 1"' the facts they will nr.: oe slow to! it make up t h or minds. l> The a idress recently l-stn-d ' % n Mr. W. A.

Miss Mtntna, who is jiiite ill with pneumonia. $ i the meeting opened, McLaurin j ] cntioned that Koester, then ed , inn The Register, and Bowden, v<? prominent South Carolinians, ten in Washington, ought to be Imitted to our councils. Irbvh id McLaurin were not then on', lod terms on account of a scan-', il involving McLaurin, of which . will not speak here because it is t 10 nauseating, and thov began to uarrel, Irhv declaring that he!' mini not have anything to do j1 ith a I'npnlisi, and before ativting was done, or the purpose for hich we had been brought to 1 tlier was mentioned. McLaurin agerlv left the room, saying "he: mild stand by his friends.'" Matters having assumed thij lape, Latimer, Talbert and my lf, who were members of the tniBe, also left, and there was not ae word said about running John arv Kvans for governor. Mcaurin has become so notorious imself for holding conferences ad planning political deals, and ( bv nature such a triekster and ' inspirator, that I presume In* I jels called upon to charge such lings to other-.

His fawning around the' resident last minimer. and the) eclaration that "McKinlev was lie most | opular president since anco 11) and outfit to lie reanimated by acclamation,'' is another art.
