- Private John Allen, of Mississippi, has
stated McKinley's position on the finan-
cial question with remarkable aptness.
While member of the house, Mckinley,
like most of the blatant gold advocates of
today, made clear record in favor Of
free silver. About year ago, he said, or
at least he is reported to have said, that he
would not accept nomination on free
silver platform. Since that time he has
kept his mouth shut. These facts have
led the Mississippi humorist to remark
that "Mr. Mckinley can accept nomina-
ton on either platform with less inconsis-
tency than any other living candidate"

The Pee Dee Advocate nominates Hon.
John L. McLaurin as candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Senator
Irby. If patriotism, brains, ability and
craftsmanship are the qualifications the
people of the State desire in United
States senator, they need hardly continue
their search beyond Mr.. McLaurin. AS
to whether he can get the support of the
politicians is very doubtful; but among
the thoughtful, disinterested seekers after
the welfare of the State, we verify believe
that he has more friends than any other
man who has been suggested in connec-
ticn with this high Office.

THOMAS TAKES WATER.

Mr.. o. E. Thomas, president Ct the
State Pharmaceutical association, has been
forced to acknowledge his error in rescind-
ing the drug license of Mr.. John May, of
Yorkville, and to restore Mr.. Mays name
to the roll of pharmacists Of South Caro-
lima. On Tuesday last, Messrs. Hart &
Hart received the following in answer to
their letter of the 18th instant:
Messrs. Hart q Hart, Yorkville, 8. c.:
Gentlemen: Your letter of the 18th
instant to hand, and for your information
beg to say that the construction of the law
as cited viz: THAT the conviction ofa drug
gist under any section Of the dispensary
law authorized the board OF pharmacy to
withdraw his certificate) was one which /
was Informed of by the Chief Detective
(Newbold) was held by the presiding
Judge in this case. Before his interview
with me, it was my own opinion that only
for violation of section Is could any action
be taken by the. board.
Again, the order sent me by the clerk Of
the court(which he has since rescinded) did
not state under what section Mr.. May had
been convicted but directed me to carry
out section Is. The error and the res
possibility rests entirely with the clerk of
the court in issuing the order to me.
After conference with the attorney
general, have re-instated Mr.. John May
on the roll of pharmacists of South Caro-
lima. and rescinded my order revoking his
license, and you, as his attorneys, will so
inform him.
Respectfully,
o. E. THOMAS, President.
In the above letter, it appears that Pres
ident Thomas endeavors to fix the re-
sponsibility for the whole matter upon
the clerk of court. 1t will be noticed also
that Judge Witherspoon, who sometime
ago said that he had nothing to do with it,
has been dropped. The reporter called
upon the clerk of the court on Tuesday
for his explanation. Upon reading the
letter, Clerk Wylie said that President
Thomas was still in error. 81 have issued
no order in the case Of any kind and
therefore, had nothing to 'rescind.' Mr..
Newbold asked me for a certified copy of
Mr.. Mays sentence, and gave it to him.
When the matter came up and it develop
ed that probably some mistake had been
made, 1 thought that possibly the mistake
had been mine, and / wrote to President
Thomas asking him to return the certiti-
cate had signed. I wanted to see that it
was correct. You will note that President
Thomas says that I did not say under
what section Mr.. May was convicted, and
l am sure that I made no order OF any |
kind in the case."
Until something further develops, it will
be seen that President Thomas is con-
the clerks certificate with an
"order"-first Judge Witherspoon's "or-
DER" but now the clerks ''order." AS a
matter of fact, the certificate is not entitled
to cut any figure in the case. Any indivi-
dual has right to demand of the clerk

Citadel Cadets WON.

The Citadel cadets won the first
prize of 5000 in the cadet drill at Sa-
vannah, Ga, last week. 1t was the
original intention of the managers OF
the drill to have only one prize OF
81 900. There were but two compet-
ing cadet battalions, and one of them
was from Georgia. 1t was foregoDe
conclusion that the citadel cadets
would clean up everything in sight,
and so to save something for the Geor-
gia company, it was decided to divide
the 81, 900 into two prizes of 5000 and
$4OO respectively.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1896.

The Piedmont Headlight has suggest
ed Secretary of State Tompkins as the
proper man for the craftsmanship of the
State executive committee. The Head
light is commonly regarded as Senator
Irby's organ, and Mr.. Tompkins was for
several years private secretary to Govern
or Tillman. There is reason to believe
that the suggestion will meet with the
of both of the senators.

where its members see a chance to win
