BALTIMORE, June 8.
Hon. w. T. G. Bates, State Treasurer,
Columbia, s. C.
DEAR SlR.-I understand that some
question has arisen as to the propriety OF
YOU having accepted compensation from
the syndicate which purchased South
Carolina bonds in 1893, and we think it
only fair to state that under the rigorous
terms imposed by your then governor,
the Hon. Ben r. Tillman, it would have
been exceedingly difficult for syndicate
to have carried out the terms OF purchase
without the constant presence IN Colum-
bia Of some competent and trustworthy
person charged with the duty of perform
ing the variousa acts of necessary clerical
labor which were inceSsantly required. 1t
was not convenient for this company. as
the agent of the syndicate, to have such
representative continually on the spot,
and you were asked to act, and the COM
pensation paid you was only fair, and said
payment came from the syndicate alone,
and in nowise, even remotely, affected
the interests of your State nor the inter-
est of the most insignificant of your tax
payers. The payment for your services
was made upon the violation and by the
sanction of the executive committee OF the
syndicate, it was entirely proper and the
engagement Of yourself in such capacity
really proved to be a safeguard to your
people, because. in the execution OF the
clerical duties which the syndicate re-
auired you invariably manifested an un-
alterable zeal for the protection Of the in
terests of your State, and in the exercise
Of this quality, we think, you often i'm
posed upon the syndicate conditions
which would have been quite unnecessary
in the conduct of any matters pertaining
to private business. These conditions,
however, were accepted in cordial spir-
it, because we thought we recognized in
you an officer whose crowning ambition
appeared to be directed only in the chan
mel of exercising every scruple ofprudencee
in the conservation Of the duties involved
by his official capacity.
Yours respectfully,
ROBERT G. DAVIDSON,
President.

of picnic to be held at the springs on the

the party who gave the notice does not

ON TO RICHMOND.

At meeting of representatives OF Camp
Micah Jenkins. held in the Office OF
Judge McCorkle on yesterday, to make
arrangements with reference to the trip
to Richmond, it was decided to choose
the Southern route.
Veterans who 60 from this point, are to
leave on the morning of June %, at 8
O'Clock, by way of the Chester and Le-
noir for Gastonia, and there take train
on the Southern railway for their destina-
ton. The fare for the round trip is to be
$3.50. Tickets will be good until July 10,
and those who desire to do 30, may re-
turn on any train previous to thai time.
The rate from Yorkville over the Sea-
board Air Line will be 6.43, and quite
number of people in different parts of the
county will no doubt find it more con-
venient to 60 by this route than by the
Southern.

OUT OF REPAIR.

Mr.. James Cansler, the we'll known
campaigner, was in Yorkville last Mon
day on business.
Mr.. Cansler's physical condition is quite
distressing. One of his legs has been q
source of pain for years. Now the other
is about fail. Just why, he does not know
but thinks that it is due to overtaxing.
"I used to plow all day." he said, in
conversation, "but can't do it now. I
can only 60 until about dinnertime, and
during the afternoon lie up and howl
and groan. Sometimes, I can hoe little
but not much after have been plowing
all the morning"
Asked as to whether or not he would be
in the race this summer, Mr.. Cansler said
that he did not know yet; it depended
altogether on whether or not there is any
improvement in the condition Of his leg.
Just now. Mr.. Cansler is in very bad
way.

REVOLUTION OR FIAsCo.-The silver
movement now rampant in the Demo
cratic party is either a revolution or q
fasco. If it is u revolution it will
sweep the country if it is a iasco
there are yet five months in which il
can shatter itself into fragments
against a golden wall.
If the Republicans were going to de-
clare for a gold standard, the outlook
might be different, but they are not
AS a matter of fact the platform will
be even more friendly to silver than
the declaration made at the Ohio con-
vention. This, in conjunction with
the tariff issue, will keep many States
from going over into what would
otherwise be long list of silver States
The Easthrn States will have to &C.
cept this platform, because, while il
may not be what they want, it will be
infinitely better from their point o
view than the Democratic free silver
platform and candidate will afford. In
addition to this, the Republicans will
have campaign fund Of S20,00O,0 900
if they need it, to send out speakers
and distribute literature and organize
in every doubtful State. The Demo
Gratis will have only such money as
may be contributed by the mine owner:
of the West. They will get nothing
from the moneyed interests in the
East, which have contributed large
sums in the past, notably in the cam
paign which resulted in the election o.
President Cleveland four years ago.
If the silver movement is not deep
set, liable to bend and waver during
the five long months that yet inter
vene before the election, or if it suffer!
reaction, the chances are with tht
Republicans. If it is a tidal wave
nothing can stand before it. A decision
as to it's real character is just now {

Water In the Standpipe.
The Importance ofkeeping the stand
pipe at Yorkville full of water is obvious.
Should fire come along and find only a
small quantity of water available, the
situation, so far as practical results are
concerned, would be the same as if the
town was altogether lacking in the splen-
did fire facilities Of which it is possessed.
Many Of the people who rent water seem
to think that they have full right to use
or abuse their privileges as they see fit,
and for the town to keep the standpipe
full under such conditions, is we'll nigh
impossible. There are already in force
sufficient ordinances for the complete
regulation of the matter, and the situation
undoubtedly needs attention.

- The Negro question at St. Loui' is
growing more and more vexed. Some
weeks ago Thos. P. Miller, proprietor

tract with local Republican club to
entertain certain number of dele

to pay Miller was $4,000. When the
difficulty of accommodating the Ne.

get around it by sending the Negroes
to the St. James. The 81. James re.
fused to take them. Intead the pro.
prietor rescinded his contract and told
the club that, if it saw fit, it could sue.
AS a reason for his action, he said that
should he attempt to entertain the Ne
gro delegates in his regular dining
room, all of his help would quit and
the reputation of his hotel would be
ruined. Some of the Negroes have
gone to the homes of well-to-do-mem.

BLACKSBURG BUDGET.

Destructive StOrm-Tne mOdel farm OF mr.
VIII. Bird-The Camp Will Be Repre-
sented at Richmond-Mr. Gould Has
Bad Luck-Big Success With Bees.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAcKsBURa, June 11.-Quite severe
storm of wind and rain passed over our
section on Tuesday afternoon about
o'clock. In some localities it was accom-
panied by fall of hail. A few trees and
fences were blown down, as was also corn
and the small grain that had not been har-
vested. No other damage was done that
I have heard of.
The crops are all in excellent condition
and are growing finely. Evidence OF
improved methods Of improving and cul-
tivating the soil are visible in every sec.
ton of our township but I was especially
impressed few days ago in passing, with
the appearance Of Mr.. VIM. A. Birds
farm, near here, which, for diversified
crops, clean, neat, thorough culture, the
apparent improvement in the condition
of the soil, and the promising appearance
of the crop upon it, will compare favorable
with any farm in the county. There are
other farmers in this township that are
not a whit behind Mr.. Bird and his farm
all of which have diversified crops and
raise an abundance of all the necessaries
of life, making cotton surplus.
A good Ihany of our old soldiers intend
to 90 to Richmond to the grand reunion
of Confederate Veterans, and the prospect
is that Scamp Hart" Of our town and
section will be well represented. Messrs
B. J. Gold and w. Anderson have beer
appointed delegates and 9. M. Moore
and E. H. Bridges, alternates, to the bus
mess meeting of the association.
Mr.. Gold, who Is adjutant of our camp
has been very energetic in working the
matter up, and from him have obtained
the following facts: The cost OF the
round trip to Richmond and return will
be 1886. For 81. 90 additional steamboat
trip from Richmond to Norfolk and For
tress Monroe; and for so cents more,
round trip to Petersburg, will be furnish
ed the veterans. Every veteran should
take this advantage ofa trip that he may
never have the opportunity Of taking
again. ;
Unfortunately for Mr.. Gold, after all OF
his enthusiasm and work in the matter,
he has been chosen as juror for the ap'
preaching term of court, and it really
looks as if the fates were against his car
rying out most cherished desire but
hope some arrangement can be effected
by which the court will be adjourned one
week, thus enabling all OF the veterans
who wish to, to attend the reunion.

BATES EXPLAINS.

How the State Treasurer Was Connected
With the Bond Deal.
State Treasurer Bates, on Tuesday
gave out statement of his connection
with the State bond deal. 1t is pub
lished in the daily papers of Thursday
as follows:
eyes, it is true that I received from
the syndicate the sum of $2,O31.25
This was for acting as their represent
ative in making settlements with their
subscribers, collecting and remitting
their premiums and attending to their
express account.
"For instance: There were subscri'
bers in Charleston for 100000 of the
new issue which the syndicate had
contracted to deliver in Charleston
These were to be paid for mostly in
Brown Consols, but the holders of the
Consols naturally would require the
syndicate to deliver to them the new
issue of bonds before they would part
with the possession of their Consols.
"Two courses were therefore open tc
the syndicate. One was to pay the
State treasurer s2,000,O0O in cash, re-
ceive the new bonds and then ex'
change them with the Charleston sub
scribers. The other was to secure
some representative here in Columbis
whom the Charleston bondholders
were willing to entrust with theil
bonds, and exchange them for bonds
of the new issue. 1 suggested to the
syndicate the employment of a Colum
bia banker as their representative, bul
they preferred that 1 should do The
work, and, at the urgent request o
the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee
company, the agent of the syndicate
on or about the 21st of March, 1898
I consented to act for them as the
bondholders in Charleston and else
where were willing to place theil
bonds in my hands for exchange.
"The public will understand tha
there is q vast difference between
first, my accepting money as consld
GRAFTON for making contract for the
sale of State bonds and, second, my
accepting compensation rendered bN
the syndicate for extra services as thel
representative long after the contrac
had been made.
"The first would have been offered
of course, and accepted prior to tn
contract and would have deserved
severe criticism. The second wa
rendered long after the contract hat
been made and was for extra service
that could not have been expected O
required to render as State treasurer
The work necessitated the keeping o
special, difficult and extensive &C
count and involved much responsible
ty and trouble. A good portion of tn
amount received went to pay for ex
IRA and special clerical work.
~ am sure a reasonable public viii
agree that the work did was unofficia
and did not conflict with my duties a
State treasurer. Nor will I be expect
ed to render responsible and valuabl
services for syndicate ofwealthy cap
ita]ists without some reasonable com
pensation, especially as the compensa
ton was not paid by the State.
"Outside of the $2,301.25, / didn'
