BUCKLEY FOUND THE WAY
How He Ended War With the Hazard of
..Jim,, O,Brien,s Hat

How He Ended War With the Hazard of
Jim O'Brien's Hat.
Chris Buckley, who is ont of politics,
again proved himself Solomon Wednes-
day night by the way he settled that fierce
Dundon-Goecken primary row in the
Thirty-second District with Jim O OBrien's
hat.
The two factions had defied all efforts Of
the primary committee, and James H.
O'Brien in particular, TO fix mp a com
promise ticket Tor the primary, that Demo-
cratic harmony might prevail and the
Buckley wing of the party be blessed.
On Tuesday night when the factions
met for third attempt TO select even
election officers the war was so fierce that
Arbitrator O'Brien gave up in despair
On Wednesday night they were to meet
for another attempt to obey the orders to
agree on something. II was so evident
that there would be no agreement that it
was found necessary to accept the last re-
sort and appeal to the King
Before 8 O'Clock Buckley, his nephew
and chief lieutenant, Billy Harrison, and
james II. O'Brien rolled up to the Third
street meetlng-place, opposite South Park,
The Dundon and Goecken factions
could get as far az agreeing TO take twelve
delegates each to the new general com
mittee, but they stuck on the odd man
which would give factional majority
Even Buckley, the master of concilia-
tion and compromise, could do nothing
and in disgust he had himself led down 10
the carriage. But Dundon rushed out and
with pleading got Buckley to try once
more and be went back.
Finally he got Dundon and Goecken and
their friends to agree 10 a gamble. They
were 10 put dn equal number of names
into a hat, and Buckley should draw one
That name should go into the ticket as the
twenty fifth, and each side should stand
by the result whatever 1t was. Three
Goecken names and three DundOn names
finally went into 0'Briens hat and were
shaken up.
The sightless boss benignantly put forth
his hand as Billy Harrison moved the hat
under tie white fingers. and out came a
slip.
The name on it was "John Sullivan" ;"
He was a Goecken man. and Goecken was
Jubllant.
The war was settled, and unless it
breaks out in a new place before to-
night there will be one ticker and out
ward harmony at the primary.
The peace that was effected in the
1h!rty-tifth between Colonel john o Byrne
and Larry Dolan and their friends lasted
ABOUT SIX hours, and now it seems fore
gone conclusion that there will be hot
iactona! contest and two tickets in that
ulstFlct tomorrow night. The factions are
80 Dliter hat they propose now to have
separate ballot-boXes and separate eiee-
IONS. In that case each side is expected
10 poil about 5000 votes, and then more
trouble Will follow.

MILLING IN MINIATURE.
A Model of Ten-Stamp ouartz-NIilI
With All the Appurtenances.

a curio has been presented 10 the State
Mining Bureau which will possess great
interest for all who are curious about gold
mines. 1t is q miniature of the ten stamp
quartz-mlll at the Rising Sun mine in
Placer County. Though the scale is only
an inch to the foot every detail has been
introduced, so that the mill will possess
considerable educational value
The hosting works, engine rooms,
stamp-mill, concentrators, carpenter-shop
and blacksmith-shop are all in their proper
places. Cars, men and the various tools
and appliances are put in so that the OBJ
server can follow every step in the extract
ing of the gold from the quartz.
The model is a little over II feet in
length. the original being 145 feet long
1t was made by N. }. Young, the builder
Of the mill. It became the property of j.
q. Davis, who has presented it 10 the Min
ing Bureau.

No New Circuits.

The bill before the General AS
sembly to create two additional cir
cults meets with our unqualified dis
approval. Our representatives were
elected upon platform promising
a curtailment OF Offices and expenses
of running the government whereby
the people would have equally as
good facilities with lower taxes.
Making two new circuits means two
new judges and two new. solicitors,
and it smacks of fixing the political
beds ior some workers to lay on. If
there is no other way to pay for
political services rendered than to tax
the people for it, in the name of rea-
son let those who have been benefited
by the work go into their pockets
aud raise the funds. Thespeople are
taxed enough now and when they
have to pay the increased tax to foot
the bill for the constitutional conven-
|tion they will not feel kindly towards
those who are endeavoring to force
them tc contribute towards their
support by the creation of new Of
fees. AS a matter of business z
principle we are opposed to the
creating of these new circuits. be-
cause the people are already tax
:burdened, and as a matter of politics
we t blink the Reformers would be
committing political suicide if they
allow the measure to pass. Just
think Of it, here we have just came
OUT OF very expensive constitutional
convention, made up of both factions,
neither faction knows to-day how the
other stands. The Resormers pledg-
ed to reducing expenses and Offices
| and taxes, pitch right in, the first
thing and create new Offices, thereby
making more expenses and higher
taxes: The Conservatives of course
will use it as a slogan and we say
that armed with such a truthful in
strument the Reform faction will be
badly crippled if not aunihilated.

The railroad commission have sue
ceeded in convincing the railroads
that the rates on fertilizers must
come down and that the roads must
obey the law. The commission de-
serves great credit for this work be-
cause it will save our farmers a great
deal of money. The case bid fair to
be ng-contested one in the State
and United States Courts, but not
withstanding this the majority OF the
commission held their ground and
won without a fight. The railroads
seeing that threatened legal war
would not make the commission re-
cede, they themselves receded.

Card from Willoughby.

We make it rule never to attack
q man in the columns of our paper
without allowing him the privilege
of our columns to reply. Our readers
will remember the comment we made
ON the conduct of Mr. Willoughby ID
his charges brought against Colonel
Neal,.and Mr.. Willoughby replied to
the same In the Columbia Register
as follows.

when he allowed himself bled and
imposed upon by a man whose only
interest in him shows by his conduct
to have been purely mercenary. II
would be absurd for US to attempt to
defend McLaurin from this charge
coming as it does from a man whom
we have proven to be the vilest Of
groveling creatures
We dismiss Willoughby's charge oi
our being a "sycophant" by again
reminding him Of his telegram and
letter to McLaurin endorsing the
"SIy Dear Applet" letter which would
cause the people with one accord to
call him to be governor" and quote
the following from Dryden:
"A Sycophant will everything admire
Each verse. each sentence, sets his soul

Ni,louehby Answered.

The Columbia Register of the 21st
inst. published a. communication
signed T. G. Willoughby which may
have been written by him, but a
doubt has arisen as to that point
on account of its Platonic or
ClaWonic appearance; however
It matters not whether he
had a pal or not, we will treat what
ehas to say as though we believed
hiul to be the writer, for it is an Off
spring he car boast of fathering.
The communication referred to
purports to be a reply ITO the attack
of the Manning Times" in the Neal
sPenitenitary scandal matter. This
man Wil!oughby (Villiany would be
a more appropriate name) begins his
epistle with lie when he says 81
have only a slight acquaintance with
this man Appelt, and what little I
know of his history was gathered
from the press in his figuring in the
United States Court upon q criminal
charge" Long before the writer
was called upon to answer to the
criminal charge in the United States
Court old Willoughby had become
an acquaintance. We were members
ofthe same conventions and often
met each other on the train while
travelling to and from Columbia, and
when the writer was charged with
opening q letter belonging to anoth,
er r and abstracting therefrom check
for sl:25 this same Willoughby vol
untailry came to US on the train and
expressed his indignation at the out
rage heaped upon US by few enc
mics In this conversation he as
sured us that no one believed there
was a word of truth in the charge
and that instead of doing an injury
as our enemies would like, it would
result in doing US good. So it will be
seen that this man is not only slick
toncued liar but, he is one OF those
disnicable things known to the world
as a hypocrite. Willoughby knew
the purpose of the charge against US;
he also knew that grand jury re-
fused to find true bill, he also
knew that anybody with a grain OF
sense could not believe that a man
with ordinary Intelligence would steal
s1.25 check and send it by return
mail to the maker of the check call
inc his attention to the fact that the
concern the check was made payable
70, had gone out Of business.
Willoughby says: 81 am not, nor
have 7 ever been, a candidate for
superintendent of the penitentiary."
In our editorial we did intimate that
Willoughby was desirous OF getting
Colonel Meals place; we threw out
this hint because We believe be is
prompted by personal motives and
seu-acerandizement; as to his ever
being candidate We have only cur
rent rumor to 90 by. It was COM
mon talk that Willoughby was can

The. blind tigers of Charleston will
now have to shut up their .lairs, as
the city has been placed: under a
metropolitan police, a.. thing that
should have been done long, ago" 1t
will now be seen whether or not the

themselves. Chief Martin will now
be able to show what he can do, be-
cause he has a backing heretofore
withheld from him. The best thing
for Charleston to do now is to quietly
submit to the inevitable and join
hands with the law of the land for
it's honest enforcement. O'Reily an d

There is one candidate for Govern
or fully announced and he is William
H. Ellerbe, of Marion. Mr.. Ellerbe
has host of friends in Clarendon
and he will make a strong candidate
in these parts. His conduct at the
convention which nominated the
present Governor pleased everybody,
because it showed him to be a man
who would not jump over the fence
to make faces after meeting with de-
feat. There will be others in the
field, is the present indication, and
before we decide who we will sup
port we will wait and see who will
enter the race and on what line the
race will be run. We feel kindly to-
wards General Elerbe, as he has a
magnificent public record and it is
about time that this portion Of the
State was getting some of the. high
honors so lavishly given elsewhere.

We were surprised to read from
the correspondent at Manning to the
Columbia Register the following:
The management of the th.r,estor,
Sumter and Northern Railroad, owned by
Captain Thomas Wilson, is denounced by
the people Of the Summerton and ST. Paul
section. and they propose to appeal to the
Legislature now in session for redress.
The road runs through on6 of the most
progressive sections of Clarendon County.
The people desire that. the charter be re-
pealed 80:
There are few people along the
line Of this railroad who have petit
toned to have the road put into the
hands of a receiver, and in this petit
tion they claim to be sufferers from
the roads management. The ma
jority of the shippers on the road
have signed a contemplation in
which they speak in the highest
terms of the present management.
The matter was examined into by
the proper committeeman they very
properly referred it to the railroad
commission. The latter petition
we have seen and it is signed by
nearly all of the substantial; farmers
and merchants along the route where
complaint has been made, which
shows that the people of the Sum
merton and st. Paul section are not
denouncing the roads management,
but the denouncing business is con-
fined to a few persons, and these
have very little business with the
road. Capt. Thomas Wilson has
spent lots Of time and money in the
building up of the Summerton and
St Paul sections, and we are sure il
the people there, had any reason to
complain and they had laid their
complaint before him he would
have received their complaints with
proper consideration. :;
