SarBngion |tara. WADOY THOMPSON, Editor. Thursday, Sept. 28, 1893. SENATOR J. L, M. IRBY. Senator Irby is suffering the penalty, not of greatness for he has no claims to that, but of holding a position too great for him. He is a United States Senator, but he is not conduct ing himself in a manner consist ent with the dignity of his high office. A great deal is expected of a United States Senator and when one fails to attain the standard set for him, his shortcomings are published to the world. Senator Irby was guilty of disgraceful behavior in Columbia last week and, on account of his high position, the charges against him, of be ing “drunk and disorderly” and of “carrying concealed weap ons” have been sent to every cor ner in South Carolina and have, in fact, been spread over the United States. This is the pen alty he suffers for holding an office too elevated for a man of his calibre, but unfortunately he does not suffer alone—South Carolina has to bear the greater share of the ignomy and shame. Irby is the person who was deemed worthy to supplant the the noble Wade Hampton, yet he appears in Columbia in an excessively drunken condi- tion, flourishing his pistol on the streets like a ruffian. Thus does the junior United States Senator from South Carolina deport himself! It should bring the blush of shame to every Carolinian that one of the State’s representatives in the highest council of the nation should act the drunkard and the bully upon the public streets. We trust that the good name of the State shall be snared the repeti tion of so mortifying an episode. What is the matter with the Senator anyhow? Why has he resumed bis old habit of imbib ing too freely? We wonder if Jim Tillman is the cause of it? Everybody remembers how completely Tillman silenced the Senator, after exposing the lat ter’s double dealing in the VC’raddock” matter, by threat ening to wash in public some more of his (the Senator’s) dir ty linen and adding that he had plenty-of soap with which to do K. Does Tillman know some more bad things on Irby, as he alleges, and does Irby fear that Tillman will “peach” on him? Knowing that Tillman has him in his power, does he seek solace in drink? Some say that the Senator has gone back to his old habits because he tinds that he has no influence in the Senate, but we do not believe that this can be the reason. The Senator has has at least enough sense to have known all this time that where brains, statesmanship and dignity count for so much, as they do in the United States Senate, he would be at a decid ed discount. THE TOWN AND THE ALLIANCE. It is a matter of general regret that the recent negotiations be tween the town and alliance failed, not that there is really any great advantage to be de rived from the sworn weighers; but because in a matter of bus iness ii is best for all parties to be satisfied. However, no one is to be blamed for the failure The town council was perfectly willing to provide for the sworn weighers, but it could not pre vent other people weighing cot ton, for this would be illegal. Every fair minded man will readily see that the council was right in refusing to do an il legal act. Besides, there does not seem to be any great de mand on the part of the farmers for sworn weighers. They are very well satisfied with the present system, and why should *they not be? They know that they are dealt fairly with and that to have only sworn weigh ers would be of no material advantage to them. Since there 'seems to be so little desire on the part of the majority of the farmers for the]weighers, we do not see why the alliance should insist so strenuously upon hav ing them. A cotton yard would be of as great advantage to the town as it would to the farmers, for it would reduce insurance rates, but we think the council was right in declining to enforce the use of one as the buyers had already rented other lots. It would not be in good faith to them. At the beginning of next season, before any other arrangements are made, this matter may be easily and amicably settled. DEATHS NEAR LAMAR. The Reaper Viaii* the Home* of Two Well Known Families. Mr. Reuben J. Windham died at his residence near Lamar on Sunday. His death was very sudden. About four o’clock in the afternoon he was stricken with paralysis. He never re covered speech, but died about eleven o’clock that night. Mr. Windham was about forty five years old and he leaves a wife and a large family. He was well known and had many friends who regret his unexpect ed death. His remains were in terred in Zion cemetery with Masonic ceremonies on Monday afternoon. Another death occurred last week in the Lamar section. Mr. Ed Tolson, a young man about nineteen years old, died at his father’s residence in Florence county just across the line on Saturday night. His father is Mr. George Tolson, who is well and favorably known in Dar lington. The deceased gave promise of a useful life and his untimely demise causes genuine sorrow. His remains were in terred in St Paul cemetery on Sunday,afternoon. STATE NEWS. Gathered from Our Exchanges and Put in Paragraphs. Furman University has been opened to lady students. Several parties have been ar rested in Columbia for selling rice beer and have been bound over for court. From a portion of Orange burg county comes the report that the country is covered with countless number of frogs. Hugh Rutledge, the little son of Col. Henry Rutledge, of Charleston, was run over and killed uy a train at Saluda, N. C., last week. J. H. Brown, white, attended a negro camp meeting in Pick ens county last week while drunk. He became engaged in a quarrel with a negro and was killed. The United States revenue officers on Friday seized a lot of beer in Charleston which had been shipped there as “pepper sauce” over the Clyde steam ship line from New York. Ben Terrell, of Texas, the famous alliance lecturer, will shortly come to South Carolina on a lecturing 'tour. There is much speculation as to the ob ject of the visit, many thinking it to be for the purpose of or ganizing the Third party in this State. A colored woman was caught in the machinery of a gin at Nichols, Marion county, last week and was crushed to death. She had her baby in her arms and seeing that death awaited her she with great presence of mind threw the child off, thus saving it. The United States revenue officers seized eight barrels of whiskey in the State dispensary last week, because they had old stamps upon them. The liquor was sold to the dispensary bv J. F. Jenkins, of Grovewood, N. C., and steps have been tak en to have him arrested for deal ing in illicit liquor. On the 23rd dajr of October the State authorities will appear before the United States Su preme Court to endeavor to have Constable Swan released on habeas corpus. Swan was recently adjudged in contempt of court by Judge Simon ton for seizing liquor in custody of the South Carolina railroad MISSC. 0. MARTIN’S mHML — FOB — Young Ladies and Children, EnKlioh.
