Declare Thecy Were Not, Allsled-in Answ,er to a Letter from Mr. AlrkIll They Stand 1by TIteir Actlon. [Tho State, 21st.] The State Democratic executive committee has boon polled on the matter of the rosolutions adopted re questing Sonator McLaurin's resig nation, and it is very clear that none of the members were "misled' in the matter or have regrets at the way they voted. The following circular just sent out by M r. D. 11. Eagill tells the story of the poll of the committee. On the 9th of August 1 issued and sent to each member of the State Democratic executive committee, who voted for the resolution condemning Senator McLaurin, the following cir cular letter referring to an interview with W. ). Mayfield, published in The State: "It is charged in the public prints that 12 of the executive committee who voted for the resolutions con (oinming Senator McLaurin, 'had boon heard to express regret for their part in the performance, the day after the meeting, and claimed as an ex cuse for their conduct that they had been misled.' "Will you be pleased to inform me, by return mail, if you have express. ed any such regret? "Have you over stated that you wore misled in the matter? To this letter I have received the following answers from the members of the committee: JOHN (I. RICIA1I)S OF KJIiSJHAW. "I have your conmmunication of August the 9th in which you call my attention to the charge in the public prints, that 12 of the StateDamocratic executive committee, who voted for the resolution condemning McLaurin, "had been heard to express regret for their part in the performance the (lay after the meeting, and claimed as an excuse for thoir conduct that they had boon misled." And in which you also ask me the questions: 'Will you be pleased to inform me by re turn mail if you have expressed any such regret.' 'have you over stated that you were misled in the matter?' In reply I will say that I have never regretted my 'part in the per formance, and was not 'misled,' nor have I over made such a statement to any one. I introduced the resolution after mature deliberation and went to Co lumbia to attend the meeting of the cemmittee with the firm determination to take such action. 'There wvas no at tempt on the part of any one to mis lead. 1 submitted the resolution to several members of the committee and to ether prominent Democrats who were not members before the meeting and it was with the practi cally unanimous-endorsement of these South Carolina Demoorats that the resolution was adopted. It was not thought for a moment that Senator McLjaurin would resign for wve know that the same lack of of self respect has caused him to re tain his seat in the United States ate with a full knowledge of the at he was not in sympathy *with the national democ th the people who gave Lssion, would cause him tion that commit ution was fore with the request of the committoo as expressed in the resolution and en tored the primary I hat would have boon ordered immediately, the rights of the people would have remained inviolate, and the opportunity given them ti record their will a year ear lier under prosent conditions. So we soo that the charge is untrue and made with an evident attempt to de ceive. Rospectfully J. G. Richards, Jr. THOS I. 1. E'CIIIN OF FAIRIELLD. Have boon away from homo for sov oral days, and on my return find yours of the 9th. In reply would say I have never had nor expressed any regret for tho way I voted on the "McLaurin reso lutions" and under the same circum stances would vote the sante way now. I have never stated that 1 was mis ld in the matter because I was not. Furthermore, 1 was not "coerced or tricked" in the matter. I voted do liberatoly and with my eyes opon. I said then that I did not think it was the right time to take action in the matter, hut if brought squarely up would certainly vote for the reso lution. Yours very respectfully, Thos. II. Kotchin. W. W. W'I.LIAMfa, OY AIKEN. Your circular letter of August 9th duly received. From my personal knowledge of the personnel of the State commit tee, I am surprised that such reports should attract attention, neverthe less, I will answer your inquiries in inverted order. As I am and have boon for a long time thoroughly con vinced of McLaurin's disloyalty to the democratic party, I simply did my duty as I saw it; the only regret I have is that lhe did not see lit to accept the advice of the committee and vacate. Thanking you for your activity in behalf of the committee. Yours respectfully, W. W. Williams. W. ). EVANS OF MARLBORO. In replying to your circular letter of 9th inst., say that I was not mis led in voting for the resolution of censure of Senator McLaurin, and feel and have expressed no regret at any "part in the performance." Yours respectfully, W. D. Evans. W. 0. TATUI, OF ORANOEIIUURO. Yours of 9th to hand, in wvhich you ask If 1 had been heard to ex press regret at my part of the perfor mance at the State executive commit tee meeting on the 25th of July in re spect to the resolution condemning Hon. John L. McLaurin. I certain ly made no such statement, to the contrary I have always held that we were simply doing our duty to the party that had placed us on the watch tower to look out for dan~ger. Respectfully, WN. 0. Tatum. U. A. M'DERIMOTT, oF HoRRY. Yours of August 9th, stating it was charged in the public prints that 12 of the members of the State Dem ocratic executive committee had ex pressed regret at casting their vote on the McLaurin resolution. I will also state I was not misled and don't see how any member of the commit tee could have boon misled, as the resolution was road twice. Yours respetfully, J. A. McDermott. D. J.

Tillmnan, inst. not boliove in full action of execu tivo committoe, although sustaiing the resolution bocauso a change had been refused. I condomn Sonator Mlclaurin's actious in the United States senato but have nothing against, the man nor do 1 believe the committeo had it right to condemn his actions which I fully sustained. I have never said I have boon "mis ld" nor will I allow ono to so state, ly actions have always boon and will always bo indopendont. Yours very truly, Thos. Martin. T. Y. WNIl1.IAM1, oF LANCASTE It. I am in reeipt of your inquiry of the 9th inst. I have neither experi eucod nor expressed regret for hav ing voted for the resolution adopted by the oXecutiVo committee condomn1 ing the courso of Senator McLaurin and expressing the opinion that ho should resign; nor was I in any way misled by the resolution. I lost the little faith I had in the senator when he voted for the Paris treaty, and was one of those who favored and voted for the resolition condemning his course in the sonate introduced in the house by Mr. McMaster of LRichland at last session of the Log. islaturo. No. I am not one of the 12 who expressed regrets to Mr. May liold. Yours very truly, T. Y. Williams. 1). ii. TIRAXLEUT, Ot' FLORENCE. Your circular letter received, ask. ng if I "had expressed myself as eing misled and regretted voting 'or the resolution against Mr. 1Me Laurin." I bog to say I do not ro ,ret voting for the resoluti^r., noith 'r have 1 expressed myself in such a nannor. But I did say on several )ccasions that I saw no good to come >ut of resolutions at this particular :imo. As the executive committee, f I understand it correctly, was mlled only to arrange a primary in ,ho seventh district. But as wiser loads thought difTeront and intro. luced the resolution I could not do )therwise than vote for them. Very respectiully, D. H. Traxler. 'T. J. CUNNINGHAM, OF CHESTER. Your favor of the 9th received. I iavo to say in reply that I gave my .earty endorsement of the resolu ions, before they were presented, mnd have had no regrets for voting ior thom. I was not misled and vould have given my endorsement o stronger resolutions condomning IcLaurin's p)olitical course. Very respectfully, ' J. Cunningham. A. WV. JONEs, 0' ABJBEvILLE.

LEE, OF sUMTERC. I bog to acknowledge the receipt fa copy of your circular letter ad Iressed to the State Dem'ocratic 1xecutivo committee. In reply I mav to say that in my opinion Sen itor McLaurin by his course in con trss has not been faithful to the ,rust reposed in him b)y the Demo. ratic party of South Carolina. Ac 3ordigly long before the meeting of ;he committee I had freely expressed hoe opinion that ho ought to resign. the resolutions introduced at the meeting, -whilst unexpected to me vere voted for without hesitation. I hought then I was right and am of he same opinion st,ill. Having no regrets for my action. I have ex pressed none. Yours respectfully, R. D. Leo.

[St. Louis Globe-Democrat.] Columbus, Mo, August 15.-The question of tube)rculosis among cat tle hos dleveloped into a matter of very lively discussion, judging from the inquiries received here at tihe Missouri experiment station. D). F. Lucky, State veterinarian, gives his views on tile sub1jelct as follows: "The examinati on of bre-ed1ing and dairy herds in difforent parts of this State during the p)ast year has re vealed the prosoOnce of t uberculonis to seome extent. It bas beeon tho roughly demnonat irted that the is ease is contagious from one animald to another, and evid-enco points to the fact that many cawes of tubieren losis in the human famnily are due to the use of tuberculosis milk and meat. The (hanger of the monetaryI loss by the infection of valuable hords of cattle and1 the pr-obability of the transmission to the human famn ily makes this disease one of piarai mount import-anco to tihe peol of Missouri at the p)r-ernt time. aIn the sprimg of 11900, v.ith a view to stopping the further inltroduiction of tuberculois among our berds, the Missouri State board of egr-icultureo adopted certain guaarntine regulat Lions restricting the shipment. of cat tie from I ih E1'atern States into Missouri.
