CAUGHT TARTARS.

Congressman Talbert and McLau-
rim gave Congressman Pearson of
North Carolina a good dressing
down" in the House last week and
showed up Congressman Barrett of
Massachusetts, for as perfect a speci.
men of human donkey as ever
strayed into Congress, where not a
few get. Undaunted by the fact that
the Senators who heard Tillman's
speech had not the temerity to at
tempt to reply to him, Mr.. Pearson
made pigmy assault upon Farmer
Zen" in an arena where he knew he
was safe from the dreaded pitchfork.
But he caught tartar, or rather a
pair of them, when he least expected
It, for both Talbert and McLaurin
came to the defense of Tillman and
of their native State, upon which Mr..
Pearson with contemplate malice
sought to cast aspersions. He
sneered at the part the two Carolinas
played in the civil war in vile at
tempt to curry favor with the North
ern Republicans. But he orershot
his mark there, for "manly men"
among the Northern Republicans
felt only supreme contempt for the
sycophant who professed shame for
the history of his own State, bisto-
ry which they respect and honor

PLEADING BISHOPS.

They Ask the Rulers OF Four Nations TO
Interfere In Behalf Of Armenia.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Sixty-two bish-
ops of the Protestant Episcopal church
in this country. who, week ago, petit
toned President Cleveland to take some
forceful action that would lead 10 a ces-
sation of the massacre of Christians in
Armenia, have sent petitions to the
archbishop Of Canterbury, head of the
Anglican church, and to the various
ministers Of foreign affairs, to the car,
the president Of France, and the empe-
rors Of Germany and Austria.
In their letter to the Archbish Of Can
terbury, the bishops declare that cru
sade supported by Christians the world
over would be truly warranted, and
and plead that the great church of Eng
land, through its episcopate should take
action.
The great powers, they pray in the
name Of Christianity, to come to the
aid of their prosecuted brethren who
are suffering from persecution worse
than the Roman emperors ever Pepe-
trated, worse than the martyrs OF the
early church endured.
"Our differences of doctrine, "shey
say" are as nothing in the presence Of
a crisis like this. All we, who profess
and call ourselves Christians, must seek
the rescue of hundreds of thousands of
our fellow Christians from death, or
what is worse than death. It is not a
question Of policy but Of Christianity,
and even Of common humanity. For
Christ's sake save our brothers from
death and rescue Christian commu-
nifty from extinction"

TO PREVENT THE FIGHT.
Governor Culberson VIII Direct In Person
the Movements of the Militia.

Governor Culberson VIII Direct In Person
the Movements of the Militia.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Relative to
the Fitzsimmons- Maher fight, Attorney
General Harmon said:
IF they fight Oh any territory Of the
United States we will follow them to
the ends of the earth if necessary to
bring them to justice. :"
Opinion here is that Governor Cul
berson will certainly prevent the fight
on Texas territory and no doubt has in
auence enough with Mexican authori-
ties to prevent its taking place in Mex
leo. 1t is understood that Governor
Culberson has gone to the frontier to
direct in person the movements Of mill
tia, II necessary, to prevent the battle
taxing place on Texas territory. Texas
undoubtedly will assume jurisdiction of
the disputed territory for the time be-
ing. If it is definitely known where the
fights to come, off the authorities in that
jurisdiction can arrest the principals
before breach Of the peace takes place.
Mr.. Romero, the Mexican minister
here, said that it was his understanding
that the Mexican state authorities
would certainly prevent the mill from
taking place on Mexican soil.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Wilham II.
Grain, representative from the Eleventh
district Of Texas and member of that
body since the Forty-ninth congress,
died at his home here at a. N.
William Il. Grain Of Cuero, Tex, was
born at Galveston, Nov. Is. 1SiS. He
graduated at st. Francis Xavier's col

and received the degree Of A. NJ. several
years afterwards. He studied law in
the Office Of Stockdale and Proctor at
Indianola, Tex, and was admitted to
practice in February, 1871. He prac-
ticed law since that time.
In 1878 he was elected as the Demo
cratic candidate for district attorney Of
the Twenty-third judicial district Of
Texas and was elected a state senator
on the Democratic ticket in February,
1876. He has occupied seat in the
past six congresses, beginning with the
Forty ninth and being successively re-
elected to the Fiftieth Ffty-6rst, Fifty
second, Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth
CONGRESSES.

Sugar Coming From Egypt.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l1.-About H.
800 tons of sugar are now ahoat on the
way to this port from Alexandria. Egypt.
These cargoes are on board British
tramp steamers, and are due here about
March 1. The importation in large
quantities of Egyptian sugar is a new
thing made necessary through the ap-
prenensions that the Cuban crops, by
reason Of the war, will be very poor.
In addition to this large quantity, con-
siderable sugar is being shipped from
Hamburg in British steamships and
from Honolulu in American clipper
ships.

The making OF two additional
judicial circuits is still under con-
sideration by the General Assembly,
and we understand a majority of the
committee are willing to report the
scheme favorably. If they should,
the house should defeat the measure
by large majority, The Reformers
cannot afford to vote to increase
Offices, because they are pledged a.
gainst that very thing. If the meas
ure is adopted the people will show
their resentment by voting against
every man that had finger in the
pie. We give this warning and the
members of the General Assembly
had better give heed to it if they
value their influence at home.

eral reputation for character las been
as black as midnight. We will not
use harsh language towards this
creature after the denunciations we
have already administered, for it
would be adding further punishment
to q helpless victim. Willoughby
can't reply to what be terms ''the
blackguardism and want of refine
ment in Appelt's letter." and says: 81

and associations UNFIT me to compete
with this hireling." "What pity to
have the robes of one so sanity and
not be able to prevent their getting
besmirched when in contact with
fellowmen," but as Willoughby's rails

and his conscience so bright, easy
and clear, perhaps he will tell us If
there is any ground for the rumors

His communication displays the
cheek OF hardened criminal, in fact,
bis cheek is as hard as the iron front
to his hotel which he never paid
for, and with any one but a profess
sional swindler. his professions OF
purity, would bring about a blush as red
as the blood OF John McKepzie's bull
that Willoughby robbed him of. On
this man posing with such a lily-whlte
character, may say in the public
prints that he is proud of his history;
we certainly do not begrudge him OF
the pride he may content himself
with, but his citizens in Flor
ence and elsewhere will keep their
eyes open and avoid him in the fu-
ture as if he had stamped upon his

cause we can not make fitting an

When the people read what took
place in the halls of Congress last
week between Pearson of North Car
olina and Talbert and McLaurin OF
this State we do not think that the
efforts of some of McLaurin's enc
mics to break his influence with the
people will count for much. These
place-hunters will have to seek some
other cry than "disloyalty" to shake
the confidence the people have in Nc
Laurin. It was McLaurin who
threw himself in the breech in the
exciting campaign meetings at Flor
ence, kingstree, Marion and other
points, and when the leader of the
Reform movement was assailed in the
halls o: Congress, McLaurin again
came forward and gave the assailant
to understand in language which
rang throughout the length and
breadth of this land $50 far shalt thou
go, but no farther.
Whst can McLaurin's enemies say
now after the Pearson episodes Will
they continue to promulgate their
slanderous falsehoods? 1t must be
borne in mind that McLsurin's de-
fence of Tillmau was at time when
he had everything to lose and moth
ing to gain, because his seat is being
contested by republican before a
republican house and the man whom
he rebuked so severely is republican
also. This is what we call true cour-
age and the people of South Carolina
cannot fail to appreciate it. Very few
men would undertake such heroic
deed under the circumstances and it
plainly shows that McLaurin is not
in Congress to simply draw his salary,
but that he is there ready and will
ing to protect the interests of the
people OF his State at any cost.
When Tillman needs man to help
him fight his battles, he knows that
in John L. McLaurin there is none
true and more able, and none that he
is more willing to trust. McLaurin
has never waited to see what effect
Tillman's work would have, but has
always shown by his works lis will
ingness to aid him in anything which
would rebound to the credit of the
people; at the sametime, whenever he
considered 1illman wrong, he had
the manhood and courage to speak
his opinion, regardless of conse-
ouences. Can the same be said OF
others who are constantly snarling at
McLaurins The past has proven
that as soon as one of these meet
with disappointment he goes right
over into the camp of Tillman's enc
mics and becomes the bitterest of
the bitter. With Ben Tillman in the
Senate and John l. McLaurin in the
house South Carolina can always
feel that she has defenders second
to none in the Union.

At the regular meeting of Damon
Lodge. 10. Is Knights Of Pythias, on
last Thursday night, Bro. Joseph
Sprott, Jr., was elected N. of +.
Now brothers, it will be SO handy to
stop in at the bank and pay your
dues. 1t is altogether wrong for
mem bers to wait for the NJ. of Z. to
call on them for the amount they
owe. Bro. Sprott has plenty to do
without running after members who
are in arrears, and it is earnestly de-
sired that each member of Damon
Lodge will keep his account bal
anced.
The knights of Pythias is not only
the grandest, but the largest and
most popular organization extant,
the membership in the United States
and Canada numbering about five
hundred thousand. The principles
of F. c.. B. on which the order is
founded can never die, but will go on
gathering strength day by day until
the end of time.
"God bless our knightly band
Firm may it ever stand,
Through storm and night:
When the wild tempest rave,

Do Thou our order save
BY Thy great might.
For this our prayers ascend

God guard our rights;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Viewing with watchful eye,
TO Thee aloud we cry:
God save the knightsn'
Now, brothers, while our Order is
forging ahead throughout the Su-
preme as well as our Grand domain,
let US not be idle.
There are widows and orphans in
our own jurisdiction who need our
every care, besides other duties
which we are called upon almost
daily to perform, and all this can only
be accomplished by the united efforts
of our members. The first requisite
towards building up a lodge is to at
tend the meetings. 1t is duty you
owe to yourself and to the officers
and members of your Castle Hall.
1t is easy enough to remember that
we meet every first and third Thurs
dav nights.
Brother Davis. our newly elected
G.. c.. came from Columbia last Thurs
day night to attend to his duties at
Castle Hall, and l can assure him
that every brother present appreci-
ated it. He makes a fine presiding |
officer, and if there is not a marked |
improvement in Pythianism in our
midst during 1896, it will not be for
want of enthusiasm and hard work
on the part of our Chancellor Com
mander.

er c.. B. Geiger will take good care of
all the staff" that goes into his
hands. Bro. 4. c.. Plowden will see
that no one passes the |. q. unless
.:clothed and in his right mind.
There will be some applications to
consider at our next meeting, besides
other business of Importance, and it
is hoped that each member will re-
member the date third Thursday
and come out.
