MANNING, S. c.:
WEDNESDAY, JAN. Is, 1896.

1t is indeed gratifying to US to
read the editorial in the Marion Star
commencing the course OF our friend,
Congressman John L. McLaurin, and
we reproduce this editorial because
It has been. rumored in this section
that AIcIaurin was s'dead duck" IN
Marion. The people of Marion as
we'll as the people Of the entire sixth
district have listened to the various
reports against McLaurin eminatlng
from jealous politicians, and it has
caused them to watch their repre-
sentative the closer, but the more
firmly are they convinced that his su-
perior is not in the Stale and his
equal would be hard to find. They
know that no truer representative OF
the people sits upon the floor of the
national Congress, and they know
that in John McLaurin the people
who sent him have every reason to
feel proud.
It is not only the Marion Star that
speaks highly of our Congressman,
but every newspaper in the State
not controlled by some jealous poll
sician, and his name and fame have
extended beyond the borders OF the
United States.
The following is what the Star
says:
McLAURIS's PROMOTION.
Hon. John L. McLaurin seems to have
made quite favorable impression and to
have achieved a real triumph in Congress
A position on the Wavs and Means Com
mittee is one very much to be coveted. and
Indicates that the man who succeeds IN
winning such an appointment. even though
he be minority member, has achieved for
him distinction of which he may justly
feel proud.
We publish elsewhere in this issne an
historical review Of South Carolina's repre-
sentation on that responsible committee,
from the time when it was first created. one
hundred Years ago From the date of the
appointment of Representative Smith, from
the PipcEney district in 1874, to the re-
tiremeut of Fran is w Pickens in lS41, q
period Of II years, the names Of South Car
olina members were prominent or this I'M
portant committee.
Among the members Of the Ways and
Means Committee for the last century Will
be found the names of Messrs. Mott, Viii
Hams, Mitchell, NcDnfie, Rhett, PickenS,
and last. but not least, the name OF Hon.
Jno. l.. McLaurin, who will serve the 9Th
District during the Ftty-fourth Congress.
Well may Congressman McLaurln feel
complimented at his public recognition,
and his admiring constituency elated at
his-recent promotion, when they realize
the fact that he is the only South Carroll
nian who has held seat on this all-impor-
tant committee within the last half Il CEN
tury.

Of Of the Treasury showed at that time s346,-

ing, at which figure it has been given
since.
This gold reserve fund is mentioned for
first time in the statutes in the banking
Act of 1882. in the following words:
"The Secretary of the Treasury shall sus-
pend the issue of such gold certificate
whenever the amount of gold coin and gold
bullion in the Treasury reserved for the
redemption of United States notes falls be-
low 500. 100000"
Mr. Speaker, have been careful to quote
all the Acts or parts of Acts upoa the statute
books which in any way relate to the gold
reserve or the further issue ofinteresl-bear-
ing bonds, in order to disclose the mar
row foundati IN upon which this idle hoard
of gold is held or additional bonds issned
to further burden the people. The fact is,
Mr.. Speaker, there is no authority Of law
for either and the time has come when
the people Of this country should under
stand the real situation. In my opinion,
the country is net suffering from laws
which Lave passed Congress, some of which
admit are wholly bad, but are being d s.

these laws We may enact laws ever so
carefully, but DO one can determine their

the last few days had been growing
warmer and warmer, and they were now
near the twentieth parallel of north lati-
tude, and about on the sixty sixth me-
ridian west from Greenwich. Since
passing between Hatteras and the Ber-
mudas they had had fair weather. with
light airs between the south and east
But today there had been no breeze
whatever, and the heat had been op-
pressive. The surface of the sea looked
oily, and lay quite fiat, without any per-
ceptible heave or swell Masses of drift
weed were passed occasionally, strung
out in long lengths, as if drawn by in
visible currents. Sometimes a cocoanut or
an orange would float past, silent heralds
of the islands near at hand. The course
the steamer was steering was taking her
toward the group of little islands be-
tween the greater and lesser Antilles, of
which ST Thomas is one. 1t was there
that they were to make their first land
ing.
The officer had pointed toward the
southwest, or a few points off the star

markable there; but Valentine, who was
familiar with the sea, at once fixed his
eyes upon small dark cloud, low down
on the water. the popularity CT which
was that it changed its shape with great
rapidity, and without any apparent
cause. One moment it looked like

larger and larger until it presented the
aspect of a pointed foolscap Then the
cap suddenly inverted itself, and stood
on its apex: then the foolscap divided
down the center, and took the form of
huge bird with wings pointed upwards.
"That is rather odd.' muttered Valen-

Valentine, without noticing Percy re-
mark.
In fact the captain emerged from his
cabin and mounted the bridge; he cast a
glance at the cloud and then gave some
orders in low tone. They were fol-
lowed by an immediate activity on the
part of the watch on deck. The sailors
moved rapidly about, and seemed to be
occupied in slowing under matches or
otherwise making fast various barrels,
cases and other loose obiects-that had

TO tXTERM|NATE THE SCAB
II ii. Nelson, Deputy state Inspector
Reports the Obnoxious DisS aSe
Under Control.
How IT. Was Brought to This Sec
tion-OnIy Il Few FlOcks of
Sheer Are Affected.

II. II. Nelson returned Thursday from
q trip through Choteau and Teton coun-
ties, where he has been looking after re
ported cases of scab among the tlocks of
sheep in various localities To TRIH
UNE reporter he said that in nearly all
the cases he was called on to investigate
he found that no trace of the dreaded
disease existed. Flock owners are natur
ally little nervous and ready to think
some of their sheep showed symptoms OF
the disease which they knew existed in
the vicinity as soon as they noticed Il
sheep scratching itself. Mr.. Nelson says
there is no scab in Teton county, and he
hardly thinks there is case in Valley
county. In Choteau county he found 1t
to exist in just three hocka, belonging to
John Patterson, George Patterson and
Records & O'Nell respectively. Prompt
steps have been taken in these cases 10
stamp out the disease. The recent
cold snap and enow has come
very fortunately to aid IN the
work of cxterminating the microbes
which Turk in little tags Of wool dropped
| by the sheep on The ranges. Cold de
etroya the microbes in these locks Of
wool and prevents the spread of the dis
ease TO other sheep which lie down on
them or come in contact with them
| Then tho owners of ilpCks where the dis
ease exists have their tanks and dip all
ready to use on the sheep the very first
warm day that comes, SO that tho disease
viii be tbrottled at once John Patterson
has already dipped his sheep and Others
will DO so at once.
In Cascade county there is but one
case Of scab known, that is in the band
Of the Tom Chamberlain Sheep company
These sheep have been dipped three
times and the disease is probably exter
minated.
In Fergus county there is so far but
one case known, that is in the flock of
Mr.. pirrie, and in this case, too
prompt measures to prevent it's spread
were taken.
In every case of scab found its origin
was traced to the same source. Some
time ago John Fleming shipped about
IL bucks to Fort Benton which came
from Wyoming. When they got to Fort
Benton it was discovered that they vert
affected with the disease of scab, ant
they were dipped at Fort Benton. Thos'
animals which were sent out over the
country Immediately after they were
dipped proved to be clean and all right
but those which were allowed to rcmaii
in the pens they formerly occupied a
Fort Benton evidently became once
more infected and communicated tho
disease to The flocks with which the,
were allowed to run.
Mr.. Nelson, who has large interests il
sheep in the various sections where tht
disease was reported to exist, was com
missioned by Gov. richards to follow
the matter up and see that all due pre-
cautions were taken to prevent it's spreHC
and stamp out the disease. henow feel
satisfied that this has been accomplished
and that within few weeks there vii
not be another case Of scab in this sec
ton Of the state.
