ascribed by correspondents were
frost late in March in places dry

The State pensioners are patienl
and long-sufering. but they are
growing weary of waiting for the
pittance promised tben. August Let
is now fixed as the earliest date for
the payment of pensions.
Congressman Stokes has introduced
bill IN Congress that is very good
object lesson. 1t shows that public
officials are not underpaid, aud that
cut ofs.thirty per cent. would work
no hardships. The bill will be de-
feated most certainly, but it is one Of
those measures that serve purpose
by causing the people to consider the
vast sums expended in running the
government.
Gov. Ellerbe considers that bis ap.
proyal of the finding Of the Court Of
Inquiry sufficient reprimaud for Ad-
jusaot General Watts. Perhaps so,
but why was not his approval of the
fudiDg sufficient punishment for the
priyates, who were much less culpable
than thao Watts :? 1t looks very much
like Gov. Eilerbe hid behind the con-
stution and made flesh Of one and
fowl of the other. As conmander.lD-
chief he had full right and authority
to reprimand bis staff officer, the Ad.
jutaDt and Inspector General, and. il
there was cause. to suspend him from
duty until the charges can be iovesti-
gated and passed upon by the Legisla-
ture Gov. Ellerbe made vesy weak
report on the finding of the Courr OF
Inquiry and bis explanation is weaker
still. He fell short Of his duty in the
premises as to Gen Watts. or be ex-
ceeded i. 10 his recommendations as to
the privates. We are disappointed 10
Gov Ellerbe.
The row between Editor Crews of
the Cotton Plant, the alliance organ,
and the publishing committee, which
has charge of that organ, is symp-
tom of the disafection that exists in
the Reform ranks The row is the
outgrowth of the jealousy that Nc
Laurin's rapid increase in popularity
has excited in other Reform leaders.
The Edge6eld Laurens combination
has heretofore dominated the Reform
organization, and the ascenadncy OF
McLanrin and Ellerbe threatens to
depr i've these erstwhile bosses of all
power. Ex-senator Irby's hand rs
very evident, and it is more than
probable that John Gary Evans is
also pulling Crews toward to attack
McLaurin and Ellerbe. The charge
that McLaurin and Ellerbe have
sold out the Reform party and have
entered into a conspiracy with the
most bitter and implacarle straight
outs to disrupt and destroy that or
ganization is hi; upon as the easiest
aud surest method of alternating their
reform supporters Crews and Larry
CAN'T are posing as the only true
and vigilant sentlnels on the Reform
ramparts, but they cannot conceal
Irby's hand All their charges
against McLaurin, Ellerbe and other
public men who have endeavpred to
r
allay, rather than perpetuate fac
tional bitterness, are inspired by
those who hope to profit by the
defeat and retirement from Office OF
these officials While Crews and
CAN'T are charging others with con
spiracy they seem to forget that
there are thousands of people in
South Carolina with gumption
enough to see that the only well
developed conspiracy is that of which
Irby is the head and in which they
are participating
