THE PEOPLE WILL REWARD MERIT.

It is remarkable, the persistency
Messrs. Irby and Evans display in
charging John L. McLaurin with be-
ing on the verge OF Republicanism.
They so from stump to stump en-
deavoring to poison the minds of the
people against McLaurin by declar-
ing him Republican. If John Nc
Laurin has Republican tendencies,
then Bailey, of Texas, the chosen
leader of the Democracy in the lower
branch of Congress is a Republican
also: McLaurin and Bailey advocate
the self same ideas. If McLaurin is
Republican, SO are Senators Bacon
and Clay, also Senators Pettus and
Morgan and numbers of other life
long Democrats, and representatives
OF rock-ribbed Democratic States.
McLaurin belongs to that school of
Democrats who have progressive
ideas; they regard legislation some
thing to bring practical benefits and
not moulder of sentiment. If by
realizing existing conditions they can
do something which will Offset the
discriminative tariff: they regard it
more beneficial to their constituents
than to hug unto their bosoms a
pretty sentiment. The Democratic
party has been for many, many years
hugging unto its bosom free trade.
Have we not been defeated upon that
that issue time and again. What are
the conditions confronting US today?
The government has adopted high
protective policy and the bill that has
become law is a distinctly sectional

In one OF his speeches recently
John Gary Evans came very near
slipping his trolly" when he said
that Irby could have returned to the
Senate, if he had behaved himself
when there. Had Evans truthfully
answered Irby's question What do
you mean by that?" Irby would have
broken his engagement with the
syndicate then and there, and had
attached the troupe's baggage for
back salary. Irby is too old barn
stormer to permit amateurs at this
late day to cast any reflections upon
BIN to irjure him with the manage
ment. He would make grand bluff
and "bust" up the whole fix before
he would allow John Evans to 60
over the country giving the reasons
why Irby could not get back to the
Senate. Evans surely let his tongue
slip and forgot that he had made
friends (?) with Irby, even if it was
under contract.

Mayfeld's attempt to prove "du-
plicity" on the part of the Governor
was truly case of ''the mountain
labored aud brought forth mouse.
When he made the charge he relied
upon the Governor standing on his
dignity by declining to notice him,
and when the Governor did notice
him, it took several days before May
field could recover his equilibrium
sufficiently to rehash his original
charge without offering anything new
in the way of proof. What Mayheld
does offer as proof is an old musty
chestnut so devoid OF meat that even
the worms have deserted it.

We heartily agree with the Spar
tanburg Herald" that the constables
convicted of manslaughter at the
Spartanburg court should not be
permitted to hold their commissions.
True, the case against them is on ap-
peal, but nevertheless, whether justly
so or not, they have been found
guilty of the serious charge against
them and from the moment of that
verdict they should have been put
on the suspended list. II the 'Her-
AIDS" account of the recent
raid by the constables is
true, every man engaged in that raid
should be discharged and indicted;
the constabulary must be made to
know that their commissions are not
a license to violate law and that in
the discharge of their duties the State
expects them to be gentlemen and
not toughs. We are glad the Gov
ernor has ordered an Investigation
into the conduct of the constables at
Spartanburg, and if the allegations
are true, we feel satisfied that Gov
ernor Ellerbe will not tolerate such
men on the force.

Candidate S. G. Mayield thinks
himself smart and is constantly in
venting some smart trick to attract
the voters. His latest was to tender
his resignation as Senator from Barn
we'll County; by doing SO, he makes
a big play to the political grand
stand, but the boys on the bleaching
boards have caught on to his curves.
Mr.. Mayfeld was Senator from Barn
we'll when the new County of Bam-
berg was formed. His residence be-
ing in Bamberg ne was made Senator
from the new County and he still
holds that commission. Therefore,
his resigning the commission as Sen
ator from Barnwell was compulsory,
as he could not represent two Coan-
ties. Mayield would be doing the
graceful act by rendering every COM
mission he holds.

The Monetary Commissioners ap-
pointed by President Mckinley, and
who are now travelling in Europe
visited the Rothschilds, and the news
papers are ridiculing them consider
ably about it. One paper aptly puts
it thus: 1T was a fine joke, that visit
of our Monetary Commission to
Baron Rothschild in London, to get
his advice on bimetallism. It was
about the same thing as if the Chris
tian Endeavorers should take a trip
to Sheol to consult the Father OF
Lies about the best way OF extending
righteousness on earth. Don't our
Monetary Commissioners know that
the Rotschild's put up the whole job
of demonetization?"

The State Alliance at its annual
session held in Columbia last week
adopted resolutions which sustain
the contention of Messrs Evans and
Wilborn, Railroad Commissioners, in
the matter of rates on fertilizers and
other commodities. They also repu-
dated the present editorial manage
ment of the "Cotton Plant" which
has, by sharp scheming, been con-
verted into an organ to advance the

The editor Of the Dorchester "Dem-

by Candidate John Gary Evans that
McLaurin read the proof of an edi-
torial which appeared in his paper.
Ex-Governor Evans need not try to
create false impressions, expecting to
60 along without being called down.
McLaurin may feel that such things
are too small for him to notice and
be drawn away from the important
issues, but he has friends all over the
State that will not allow him to be
put in false position without show

Ii Candidate Mayfeld has one
scintilla of decency left, he will resign
from Governor Ellerbe's staff, as the
relations between the governor and
himself can never again be of a ma
ture to make Mr.. Mayfeld welcome
member of Governor Ellerbe's official
family. One thing is sure, the Gov
ernor will not permit any coniden-
tial relations to exist between them.

Ever since Governor Ellerbe de-

there is painful silence on the sub

with it.

PROOF OF THE PUDDING.

Kansas, probably, after all, Is feeling
the impulse of improving conditions
more sensibly than any other western
state. Her own people are not only
realizing the change which has come
over all their interests and affairs, but
the peoples of other states in speaking
of hopeful signs, Of advancing values
and growing confidence, concede that
Kansas leads all the western states
which have wheeled in ON the returning
track. The commercial business OF the
towns and cities of the state has increaS-
ed from fifty TO one hundred per cent
within year. Land values are advanc-
ing in almost every county. Prices of
every description have advanced and
are holding firm or promising greater
advances and in spite of the fact of the
liquidation of debts and the wiping out
Of boom mortgages there is more
money in the state than there was a
year ago-millions more The proof of
the pudding is to be found In the sur
plus monies now in bank. On the first
of July of this year the state and pri-
vate banks of Kansas had ON deposit
eighteen millions of dollars On the first
of November they had twenty one and
one-half millions, an increase in three
months of three and a half millions.
The national banks Of the state at the
same time had little over nineteen
millions on deposit, an increase of two
millions, making a total increase in de-
posts in three months of five and a
half millions of dollars. This is not all.
A year ago the total deposits of the
state amounted, in round numbers, in
all banks, to thirty millions. At the
same time this year they amount in
round numbers to forty millions. These
figures are not Republican campaign
lies; they are from the sworn state
ments of the national banks and the re-
port of John Breidenthal, Populist bank
commissioner.
