Donaldsons Irby and Evans FOR United
States SENATOR

COLUMBIA, June l4.-The announce
ment that Col. M. L. Donaldson, OF
Greanviile, has entered the Senatorial
race was not altogether unexpected. His
friends have been talking about entering
his pame for some time past. and at the
meeting of the State executive committee,
whom the boiling question was taken up,
he was opposed TO the idea Of boiling. and
the suggestion wes then made that he
enter the senatorial race. Mr.. Donaldson
was one of the original candidates for the
place now filed by Senator Irby, and in
1890 received Alliance support for the
Senatorial election. This places 10 the
field three active candidates, Governor
Evans, Senator Irby and Col, Donaldson.
There is newspaper talk to the effect that
Col, Keitt, of Newberry, will make the
race and there is not yet an end tn the
talk of Congressman McLaurin entering
the race.
Col. Donaldson Is hardly likely to have
the support or even the encouragement of
Senator Tillman. In May, 1898, there was
c spirited open correspondence between
Senator Tillman and Mr.. Donaldson about
the blacklistipg of Mr.. Donaldson by
Governor Tlllman. In Mr.. Donaldson's
letter he says: "Perhsps Governor Till
man has yet to learn that 10 stab @ mans
character. whether openly, as Joab did
Amasa's person, or under cover Of sup
posed secrecy in a blacklist to the Presi-
dent, means death to the victim" In
that letter Col. Donaldson said "As to
the Reform movement I am ready to
compare records with him as to loyalty.
consistency aud length of service In the
Alliance cause, with which / have been
identified from Its infancy in this State.
I have worked in its almost every depart
ment. II There Is brother in the Order
who is willing to charge me with the be-
trayal of q trust or treachery to the
brotherhood, I am prepared to answer for
nv Stewardship" ETC., etc.
all Of the candidates in the field thus
far are Reformera, and they are likely to
have q lively scrimmage among them
selves for this, the biggest of all plums.
Governor Evans was expected to return
to the city this afternoon from his busi-
ness trip TO new York, but 1t was stated
that he would not be in Colu bia before
Thursday as he would go to E.uck Hill
before coming here. He is expected to
be In Eock Hill on Tuesday.

slow in coming out. The list of sspiranss

- Can a saloon enjoin the building Of q
church? Is q question puzzling the peo-
pie of Madrid, Boone County, Iowa. B.
Arie owns q saloon in that town operated
under the mulct law, which forbids sa-
Icons within three hundred feet of any
church or school. Lately the erection OF
8 Methodist Episcopal Church has been
commenced within three hundred feet Of
the saloon, and Arie claims that either
the saloon or church must be outside that
limit. AS the saloon was there first, the
claim is made that the same law that
prescribes the rule for the saloon operates
az a bar to a Church being erected within
saloon territory, and threatens Injunction
proceedings. The Courts will settle the
matter in some shape. either through the
proposed injunction or proceedings to
close ths SALOON after tho Church "a built.

Speaking Of cotton manufacturing in
the south, R. II. Edmonds, editor Of the
Manufacturers Record, says: "It would
require in the South an investment of
over 81, 0Oo, 600, 900 Of capital to build and
equip mills enough to consume all the
cotton the South now raises, and if the
South could manufacture at home all the
cotton which its cotton fields turn out,
the product would be worth to this sec.
ton about 8, 200, 600, 900 ayear, instead of
selling for an average of $500, ooo,o 900 a
year, as itnow does"
