TELL IT all, LARRY.

To use the term in its common
ironical sense, Larry CAN'T is good
one" Larry came out last week in
bis paper with a two-column broad
sideer against Senator Tillman, the
State Dispensary, Tra1ler and things
in general. He intimates that Sena-
tor Tillman has been the recipient OF
rebates, that during the Traxler ad-
ministration several hundred dollars
per car load was paid for liquor more
than is now paid, Notwithstanding
liquor was cheaper then than it Is
now.
He estimates that during the last
year OF the lraxler regime not a cent
was turned over to the State in re-
bates amounting to over $4,000.
Larry also charges that what is known
as cologne spirits, cheap preparation,
was palmed off on the public as pure
corn whiskey, under the name Chem
ically pure" and that there has been
general mismanagement and many
leaks. He says he has the names Of
some parties who can testify when
the time comes, and will make some
startling revelations.
The funniest thing that strikes US
in all these revelations, Larry, is that
you have waited so long to make
your startling statements, and that
about two years ago you were right
in Columbia in the forefront of the
fight, fairly whooping up things Did
you know these things then? Did
you know or believe then that Sena-
tor Tillman was receiving rebates:
Did You know then that too much
was being paid for whiskey, and that
all that cheap cologne spirits was
being palmed off on the public for
Chemically pure stuff .? You
ought to have known all these things,
if you didn't, as you were then ON
the inside and had ample opportunity
OF tasting some of the stuff and tell
ing whether or not it was cologne
spirits. And if you kneG these
things, why have you waited so long
to give the people the benefit Of your
information? They take to the infor-
nation, right away, however, and
want you to give them al you know.
Bring out your witnesses. whose
names you withhold, and let them be
sworn and put upon the stand 10
testify. Throw on all the light YOU
have and let the penetrating rays OF
investigation ventilate this
Dispensary business. 1t might pos,
sibly need some ventilation more
than it has eve, yet received, net
withstanding the little ray of light
that penetrated the sample room a
few weeks ago, and as you know a
good deal about the Dispensary in
past years that the public has never
yet had the benefit OF, you are the
man to tell all you know.

"Silver Dick" Bland says: "The
money question will be q more in-
tense issue in 1900 than in the last
campaign. The people will begin to
realize more than ever that they need
bimetallism. They know it now, and
l believe an election to-day would
result in victory for the Democratic
Presidential candidate. Any man
who voted against Mr.. Bryan is not a
Democrat. It makes no difference
how many Jeffersorian cradles he
was rocked in, if he failed to stand
by the Chicago platform he is not a
Democrat. There is no compromise
to be made with the boilers. There
is no disposition to prevent them
from coming back into the party, but
they should understand that in order
to be Democrats again they must do
the coming back themselves. I see
no more reason for compromising
with Palmer and Buckner than with
the man who voted for Mckinley.
The principle is the same"

Oar two wars do not longer create
much interest in the newspapers.
Greece has been thoroughly thrashed
and is now ready for peace upon the
best terms she can secure, and Tur-
key wants all from the poor little
kingdom that the stronger powers
will allow her to take. In Cuba the
insurgents have not been whipped
entirely and perhaps never will be,
but battles are scarce and generally
non-productive of great fatal results.
The native Cuban is tough and
hard fighter, something like Francis
Marion's men were, and his best
work is gotten in when he is Going
the bushwhacking act. The rebellion
may be practically put down, but the
Cuban will not be whipped. The
way to whip a Cuban is to kill him,
and see that that act is well per-
formed before leaving him.

Queen Victoria was born in 1919,
and is therefore rs years old. On
the goth of June she will celebrate
the 60th year of her reign, already
the longest Of any of England's pre-
vious rulers. England's possessions
extend to almost all climes, and on
that occasion there will be represen-
tatives from all her principal posses
sions in London to do her honor.
The trim and quick stepping English
man will walk by the side Of the dark
Completed Indian, and the Austria
lian, the Canadian and the South
African will trudge along in the Lon
don streets, all showing their love for
the good old lady.

The chief of police in Charleston
created quite stir last week by in
terfering with hypnotist, who was
giving an exhibition. The professor
put young man to sleep and said be
was going to exhibit him in a King
street window in a sleeping state for
forty-eight hours and Chief Golden
said that it would not only be dan
gerous to the young man, but if ne
were put on exhibition in street
window the crowds that would col
lect around him would block the
streets and become nuisance. When
the young man was brought out OF
the opera house in dead sleep, the
police interfered and riot was mar
rowly averted. The whole crew were
taken to the station house, but subse-
quently it seems that the professor
came out on top and kept his young
man asleep anyhow.

PEE DEE WANTS ALL.

The Pee Dee section of the Sixth
District, it seems, would like to con-
troll the Congressional place indeh
nitelv. Ii we are not mistaken it was
an understanding in certain Con-
gressional convention several years
ago that if the Clarendon delegation
would give way, that as a matter OF
right and justice, in addition to the
we'll known fitness and abilities
OF the gentleman which Clarendon
then put forward, she would be re-
cognized the next time. Clarendon
has never had a representative IN
Congress, Notwithstanding she has
had men thoroughly qualified and
equipped, and on one or two occa-
sions presented the names Of
her citizens, but never would en-
ter a scramble upon geographical
grounds, Congressman George ".
Dargan, who served this district for
several terms, was from Darlington, a
Pee Dee county. Congressman
Stackhouse was a Marion man, anoth-
er Pee Dee county, and while Con-
gresham McLaurin was such a rep
resentative as that the people OF the
whole State should be glad to do him
honor, yet to carry out our argument
Marlboro is credited with him. We
have no complaint to make against
Marlboro. She has done her State
honor in producing such man, but
the following clipping from the Sell
lers correspondent, OF the "News and
Courier" would seem that the Pee
Dee section is full of aspiring men:
Sellers, Marion County, May 2a.-Spec-
lai: The race for the vacant seat IN the
House OF Senator McLaurin' S Is going to be
mighty interesting, especially for the
people OF Marion County. Already two OF
ier '.tayorite sons have been announced
as ce.tain to be in the race. Comptroller
General James Norton and Solicitor John
son have numerous friends and relatives
in this county who will stick to them to
the bitter end, aud now comes another
Richmond in the field il the person Of the
Hon. j T. Ellerbe, who DO doubt will make
it lively for Messrs. Norton and Johnson.
Mr. Elerbe IS a brother Of Governor FL
lerbe. He is fine speaker, well educated,
aggressive, and Is sangulne OF success. De
is farmer, pure and simple, and holds
10 Office. He says he will have to make his
tight in the open, having no bombrroof
in the shape OF an office to fail back on IN
case OF defeat. as the case with all OF his
present competitors.
Ii Can't. D. W. McLaurin decides to en-.
ter the ace Marion Will have four candl-
dates in the teld, and how are ''the boys
going 10 decide among 50 many OF their
personal and political friends"
And in addition to these, Railroad
Commissioner W. D. Evans, it is said
would like to get better place than
the Railroad Commissionership by
going to Congress. He also is from
Marlboro, Pee Dee county. There
are other high offices that are being
filed by distinguished gentlemen
from this section, but We are making
no complaint against these. We are
simply speaking OF the vacant Con-
gresslonal place. 1t seems that our
friends of the Pee Dee are not at all
bashful about asking for what they
want anG if Clarendon ever expects to
set anything she had better make
her wants known also.

The collision which occurred at the
South Carolina College a few days
ago, an account of which will be
found on our first page, was dis
graceful affair. There is blame some
where, and it seems to narrow down
upon General Watts. II the college
campus was large enough for the
parade of the troops without inter-
ference with the ball game that was
going on among the students, then
General Watts had no right to order
such manoeuvers as would disturb
them. And then it will he remem-
bered that the permission for the pa
rade OF troops was granted for anoth-
er day, while the permission for the
use of the grounds for a ball game
was for this particular occasion. w
think the matter should be investi-
gated, and it matters not who come
mits mistake, let him wear the
blame.

work Monday afternoon and made
the following presentment:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,

To the Hon. d. y. TOWNSEND, Pre-
siding Judge, Spring Term OF
Court, 1897:
The grand jury, empaneled at the
first Of the year, beg leave to make
this, their second presentment:
We have passed upon all bills OF
Indictment handed US by the Solici-
tor and have made returns upon
same.
We have not many matters to pre-
sent, but would like to call the atten-
ton of the proper authorities to the
unpleasant condition of the ante
rooms to the court house, and re-
commend that they receive more
constant and proper attention.
Our attention has been called to
the fact that in one or two sections
the constant use Of log carts have
damaged bridges so badly as to rem
der them almost impossible. We
have conferred with the County Su-
pervisor and be tells us he will see
his township boards and enforce the
proper remedies.
We have not as yet examined into
the financial condition of our County
or the books Of the various County
offices, but as stated in our former
presentment, we have appointed a
special committee to attend TO this
part Of our work ard report to US at
the fall term of the court, and IN
order that they may do their work
thoroughly and properly we would
request your honor to appoint Mr.. ).
H. Lesesne, whom we consider COM
petent, to assist them in their eI-
aminations. This work will be done
some time soon, when We will also
look into and make a thorough in
vestigation OF the reports of
the County Treasurer and
County Superintendent OF Educa-
ton. handed us at this term.

The business of the court was
rushed through rapidly, much to the
delight of the jurors, who would
rather be at home looking after their
crops, and also much to che advan-
tage of the County from a hnaLcial
point of view. This was one OF the
shortest and least expensive terms
of court that the County has had IN
a long time. The jurors were dis
missed and the sessions court ad-
journed size die at noon Tuesday.
There were no civil cases tried at
this term of the court and short
while was spent Tuesday afternoon
taking out orders.
Judge Townsend and the lawyers
met in the court house this morning
at seven o'clock and wound up all OF
the business of this term, adjournlng
the common pleas sine die.
