Intellectual Bully
and a Moral Pigmy.
Senator McLaurin Expresses
His, Views of Tillman.
Special to The State
Charleston. April 20 -Senator Mc
Laurin came bick at Senator Tillman
this af:eroo50 io a hot interview, de
fending bis course io the senate aod
explaining bis vote on i:he ramification
af the Paris treaty and also his fleem?
ing plagiarism of the Rsv Van D> fee's
sermon. He refuses to meet Senator
Tillaao on the stamp
.The interview speaks for itself at.d is
as follows ;
.*I have only this to say in reference
tc Senator Tillman's interview So far ,
a? bis personal attack on me is concern
ed, the public prints are not the place
to reply I neircervcoart nor desire his
friendship or good opioion. Nor do I
propose for the benefit of some one else
te be drawn into a controversy with
him ? am ready to do my own fighting
?od wan? otber people to do the same."
#9oeeroiog his vote on the Paris
treaty, Senator McLaurin said :
.'I did intend to vote with the major
ity of the Democrats against the ratifi
cation of the treaty, for reason's purely
af party consideration. I neve: said
anything to Senator Tillman or any one
else to give bim the righi to truthfully
say that 1 was "bitterly opposed5' to its
ratification. It is and bas been intense
ly unpleasant for me to differ from so
oany of my party associates. I had
just beec through a campaign full of
hitternes3 and desired if possible to
avoid further differences. The appeal
was made to rae to defeat the treat? and
secure the tactical advantage of defeat
icg the administration and forcing them
te eal! an extra session. It is a pretty
low plane of action, bat for the ?ake of
peaee and to avoid jost what has coeur
ted since, concluded to vote for the
rejection of the treaty l t was with this
idea that I went home Saturday night.
Sunday afternoon, sitting in my dining
room, I heard a oewsboj calling extras
sud sent out and got one I saw that
the natives had opened fire on our
troops and when I read the acennot
sade up my mind at once tbat the
treaty should he ratified so as to fix the
?tatos of the United Stales in a foreign
war already on. It made the people firing
on ocr troops rebels.and cot as intruders
The SO days lacking before an extra
session oouid be called might be pro?
ductive of untold barm. I have never
seeB the day since when I was not
glad that i did have the strength to
vote as I thooght right. I did so freely
and with no promise or pledge from any
san
"Immediately it was pabiished to the
world that I bad beeo promised Judge
Sioontoo's place A more infamously
false and cruel slander was never per?
petrated.
"There hasn't been a time ic five i
years when I haveort wishrd fha: ? I
c:a!d decentl? and honorably set out cf
public Iiis. Wheo President McKioley
.fferr-d me the place i?tendea for a
^?oocrar on the Philippine commi^si^n
I declined and told him tliat I never
wanted anything: for myself a? his
Bauds, but thar. if through me oe could
help South Caroona I wanted him to do
lt. Th'8 is ail ? ever desire or expect,
?nd if I did not faei that I was helping
and could help my Sta:e nothing on
earth conld induce me to sobrsit one
hour langer to t<ech vituperation and
abuse
"It is no new role," continued the
aeoator, "for Senator Tillman He
began bis career by abusing and slan?
dering better men I have oaugbt bu*
contempt for an tntelleciual bully and
shameless prereoder masquerading as a
statesmar, a moral pigmy posing as the
champion of honesty "
Concerning the charge of plagiarism
McLxurio said :
.'So far as plagiarising Dr Van
dyke's sermon is concerned, it was
largely due to accident I was much
struck with its beauly of thought ard
dicion ? bad a borrowed copr and
dictated from 'v three or foar sentences
to nay stenographer, and in th^ on^ioal,
whicb any ooe can see. are the word

?ext train and never paw the speech
again ac til it was io pri^t My secre
?try did not cotice it, aod had di*tn
hated several 'housand before my attcn
tion was called to it."
Io conclusion Senator Mclaurin
aiade this caustic comment :
"I sincerely regret the mortification
to the sensitive, deiicale and r* fined
Balure of my creates Honors are
easy, however, f.?r I -so a^surr- him
that I have fzperiencd ? rn i 1 a r pans*

GREAT STORM
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Fifty Thousand Men Made Idle
by the Flood-Railroads
Blocked With Snow.
Pittsburg, Pa , April 21 -The
most widespread and destructive
storm, from a material point of view,
has passed It has left a zone of ruin
2?0 miles in diameter It was
unusual in that it possessed so many
different features Cities TO miles
from Pittsburg were tied up by one
of the worst enow storms ever known
While the snowfall was from 18 inches
to three feet deep, which ie not extra
ordinary, the snow was so wet that
it clung in weighty masses to 6hade
and fruit trees and electric wires and
poles, bearing them to the earth. It
settled on steam and 6treet railroads
like wet sand, stopping all traffic and
making pedestrianism a feat for only
the most hardy The fall was so
heavy and spontaneous in some
places that the residen'.s declare it
seemed like the bursting of a snow
cloud
Neariy every town on the Ohio
river between Pittsburg and Wheel
ing is in darkness tonight Electric
light plants or their wires are damag?
ed and th* gas in the mains generally
turned off. in previous fioods this
precaution was not taken and the re
suit was explosions with loss of life
and property
A remarkable feature of the storm
is that but few fatalities attributable
to this cause have been reported. A
railroader, caught in a wreck caused
by a landslide, and the death of an
old woman from shock are the
onlv ones known so far.
The money loss is just as difficult
to foot up It may reach ?3,000,
000 The railroads think they have
lost $1,000 OOO The loss of wages
to the army of workers in manufac
turing plants up and down the rivers
will amount to $500,000 and the re?
pairs to plants will be a large sum

The Dams May Not Withstand
the Present Flood.
Hagood, April 20 -The heaviest
ram of the season fell her? yesterday.
It started about 6 o'clock in the no om
iog and continued ail day At times
it poured in torrents Lanas have
been badly washed and much damage
done to crops which have just been
planted All streams are out of their
banks and some anxiety is felt for the
di ks? on the State farm They stood
the last two freshets, which wete
higher ones, but if the river goes any
high this time ;hey may not stand.
Toe oat crop on the river bottoms is j
the finest the State has ever had and ;
it would be a grest loss if the dams ;
were to break and this crop be de- :
8troyed
Cotton planting is well under way
but the heavy rain yesterday put a
6top to it and it Vvill be a week or
ten days before the lands will be in
condition for planting to begin again
The weather still continuos unusually
cool for this season of the year and
uirstil there is a change no seed that
has been planted can germinate.
The stock at the ?tate farm has
t>>en increased lately by the addition
of 16 brood mares and a fine jack.
The jack ia the finest of the kind that
was ever seen in this section of coun?
try Hereafter the penitentiary will
endeavor to raise what mules they
will need on the farms This new
enterprise will be closely watched by
our farmers and it is thought it will
prove successful
Dr M S. King recently bought
the residence of the late Dr S H.
Sanders at Hagood and mored in with
his family last night.
Is the Stock Law a Failure ?
Tho March weather that has been
prevalent 6ince the beginning of this
month has much retarded the work j
cn the farms. The heavy rains fol- j
lowed by the colds winds have hin- j
dared ail kinds of work, and the j
planting of corn and cotton is very j
much behind in this section, although |
the farmers have been making every
day count when they could do so
? ride of twenty five mile? through
the upper section of the county has
been a revelation to us in some re?
spects, as it has been two or three
years since we had the privilege of
going in that direction One thing
which surprised us is that the country
is fast becoming denuded of forest
trees, and where great stretches of
woods existed a few years ago not a
stick of timber ?8 to be seen The
lander are open for cultivation, and
it is perceptible that cotton is tbe
cause of 80 much clearing being done.
The resuit of this state of thing?
must necessarily produce an arid
condition in this country, which
betokonR more frequent and greater
droughts than we have ever known
before. Tree planting is an unknown
policy in South Carolina, and the
restoration of tbs forests is in the
distant future
Twenty five years ago the stock
law was inaugurated in this State,
and one of the reasons for its enact?
ment, which some of us urged with
much persistence, was to compel the
preservation of the forests as a means
cf retaining the moisture and prevent
ing drougts The theory is all right, j
but the practice since that time has
otterly destroyed the maio purpose of
the law
Morp land has been cleared in
Greenville county since the stock
law went into effect than for 50 years
prior to its enactment, and the clear?
ing has been done mainly on account
cf the fact that the farmers no longer
need rail timber of any consequence,
which caused the forests to be kept
intact on every farm Possibly a
mistake was made when the etock
iaw was passed, and most assuredly
many farmers have made grievous
mistakes in cutting down their tim?
ber to euch an estent that the mois?
ture' produced by nature throueh
large bodies of timbered land has
been virtually destroyed.
it seems to be evident that the
cause of this destruction of timber
is traceable io the creze for growing
cotton Lands can be rented to
plant cotton when they wouid lie idle
otherwise, and this temptation bas
induced many farmers to cut down
their woods Grain and grasses are
ihe natural products of the soil in
this couDty, especially in the upper
portion, but tri riding along the
3uncombe road and the White Horse
road in returning to the city, we
were impressed with the fact that the
grain crop is much less than last
year, and that the cotton acreage
will b.i increased from 10 to -0 per
cent on a majority of tbe farms.
IVheat, oats and barley present a
good appearance, and without disas
ter the farmer who ha8 acted wisely
in this respect is likely to reap good
harvests while the cottontot is going
to toil ail the summer and take what
he can get fur his crop next fail.
Fifteen miiiiou bales at 5 cents a
pound will yield $225,000.000 and
ten million bales at 8 cents will yield
?400.000,000 The average cotton
grower prefers to take his chances on
tbe 5 cents a pound -Greenville

A LONDON CRIMINAL.
THE FOG THIEF AND HOW HE PLIES
HIS PECULIAR TRADE.
Ife Oppralrs Boldly Both In the City
and on tho Thaiues-Carrie? Off His
riundpr From Vans anti Cs bu
Shrouded I? the Dense Gloom.
Thousands of thieves long for fog
with a great longing. Incredible as it
may seem, property won h tens of thou?
sands of pounds is every year stolen
from vans and lorries alone iu London
streets. Quite nine-tenths of this prop?
erty disappears during fogs.
The leaders of the fog thief gangs
usually have some little capital to
start with. One of them affects to he
a car;age contractor on a small seale.
He takes very quiet premises that have
a high boarding round and that are
not overlooked, if he has plenty of
cellarage, ail the better. He has at
least one smart trap and horse and
two and sometimes three rogues to go
with iL
It is during the late foggy afternoons
and early evenings of winter that the
hauls are made. Streets with ware?
houses-and not shops that are lighted
brilliantly and early-on each side and
that are often congested with traffic
are mostly chosen. The small and
smart though dingy and inconspicuous
looking trap plunges into the thick of
the traffic. It soon. In the gloom and
murk, places Itself immediately behind
a van or lorry piled with packages of
various kinds.
The men in the quick trap are all on
the alert. One of them, a man chosen
for his immense physical strength, goes
to the head of the pony on some pre?
text. He soon has a package down
from the van in front. He is provided
with sharp cutting instruments, and he
has a powerful piece of strap with a
hook at one end. If there is a boy sit?
ting behind the van, the men In the
trap contrive to get him down by di?
verting his attention. Even with a
view to distracting the possible atten?
tion of carters, the thieves generally
get up an altercation, or "barney,"
among themselves or with others. They
are men of colossal impudence and
powers of abuse, and all attention be?
comes riveted upon them. In one case
not far from Farringdon street last De?
cember they carried off one parcel -of
furs worth ?700, the van boy being
temporarily blinded, as alleged, by a
lad with the thieves blowing some
snuff into his face from a pea shooter
and then disappearing.
One of the most notorious of these
fog thieves was a lithe young fellow
who crept along the back of a pony to
its head, American jockey fashion, and
hooked what he could from out of the
van In front.
The great hauls of these men are
when they follow cabs and private car?
riages from a railway station. In such
cases they generally use two traps and
horses. A cab is marked that has ap?
parently valuable luggage on the top.
This is followed till some dark street
is reached where the way is narrow or
congested: then the driver of one of
the traps, that has a very swift pony
harnessed to it. deliberately drives
across the head of the cab or carriage
horse.
Of course there is an angry alterca?
tion, and while tl:is is going cn the
thieves cv. the other trap have got into
the immediate rear of the luggage la?
den vehicle. One of the thieves goes
along his horse's back and lifts the lug
;a?e down.
One of the hauls effected last winter
in this war was worth ?S.000 and was
the property of Mr. de Silva, an Argen?
tina millionaire. Thc robbery took place
not far from St. Pancras' church just
before the shops were lighted up.
As the summer sun brings forth
myriads of living creatures, so does a
Thames fog bring out upon the dark
ano apparently deserted river a vast
horde of thieves. At least a dozen of
the wharf and lighter owners complain
of losing from their respective wharves
as much as from one to six hundred
pounds' worth of coal alone every year.
The reader can learn at any river?
side house frequented by tugboat men
that there are scores, literally scores, of
tugs on the river that have never
bought a pennyworth of coal for great
numbers of years. The Thames police
would tell that same reader that men
have retired on competences who have
been reported to hare made their whole
fortune out of coal stolen with im?
punity on the river.
The police are helpless over the vast
expanse' of river and in the labyrinth
ine backwashes. IT they raid one of
the pirate boats in the gloom and dark
ness, the spoil is turned <>i:t to the
bottom of the river in a tr.ee. If this
sort of tiling can he dene to such an
extent with a commodity !;!<e cia!, it
may be imagined what befalls other
valuable property on wharves or in
lighters.
The fraudulent picker up of the
river blesses the fog. The pieker up
is a man who notices (hat certain
barges with valuable cargoes are moor?
ed in inch way that, if they broke
loose, ther would entail vast expense.
The pieker up sees that these [?arges
do break loose That nan of ?os work
he dees in dead secret. And men. mak?
ing plenty of noise about it at this
stage, be rescues from danger the
very barges thai he has set adrift and
