morning last: st looks like McLau-
rim" and by Wednesday morning it
was McLaurin' Gov. Ellerbe did well
to end the agony by disposing Of the
spoils at once. 1t Is only left for us to
diagnose what we have got.
McIaurin has been Attorney Cen
eral Of the State, Is q member of the
present House Of Representatives, has
stood we'll in with the Reform move
ment, stands well in with the Republi-
can bosses at Washington, held a place
on a prominent committee by the fa-
voritism of Ear Reed and all in all is a
wary, alert and tricksy politician. He
. young, and ome from Marlboro on
our eastern shore, Probably nc has
as much ability as any man Of his fac
ton in the State. We should say that
his political code Is accommodating, all
things to all men and conditions. We
should have a hard time to place him
probably among the populists is his
natural location, among the socialists,
If they had a local habitation. 1t is
understood that he favored government
store houses and money and scrip to is
sue by the government as a national
currency. This was, as we understand,
his panacea for the ills tho country has
suffered by reason of stringency and
scarcity OF money. 1t is said that he
favors government ownership of rail
roads and telegraphs and other popu-
lar issues and nostrums that but a
short time ago had their day. Now,
these are "demandsn that have mover
been accepted into any code, however
N~apoleonic, recognized by the Demo-
cratic party socalled. Jefferson is Gre
dited with the authorship of tho well
known Virginia Resolutions, and to
those and the letters of Madison in the
collection under the title Federal
list, the old time democrat Is apt to
look when he hunts up a notion OF de-
mocracy. Sometimes Jackson is named
and his State papers and administra-
ton papers and measures as q deposit
of democratic doctrine, but we apollo
gize for naming him, for if there be
a name in American annals that
ought to sicken the Carolina gentle
men who SO %nippantly appeal to the
great Calhoun, it is Jackson
But as things now go, as the fashion
is with the present day political saints:
II am a Democrat or q "Jeffersonian
Democrat" Is enough to sanctify.
We will have to wait for fruits to
Judge the tree. We are not quarreling
with Gov. Ellerbe's selection-no-
doubt he did as well as he could, or
could be expected to do. In the mean
while, we can expect little from any of
our great men-any come to lead the
people out of the widlerness-any ap
pointed, elected, or self styled Moses.
Government that does the least harm
does the most good. What we want In
the Senate on the part of our repre-
sentatives is q hard fight against the
coming new edition of the Mckinley
Tariff. We have to trust and abide
Tillman and McLaurin and make the
most Of them. 1t will do no good to
distrust them at the outset.

MADDENS.

AT this writing we are having a
few refreshing showers, but the
farmers would be glad to have a
general rain. With few exceptions
there is generally a stand of cotton
and General Green is making his

crop also promises a fine yield
Wheat is also looking we'll.
Mr.. b. +. Terry has a very fine
field of wheat.
Mr.. j. A. Madden has a very fine
field of corn.
The health of Our community is
ordinary good. The humps and
WhOoping cough have visited sew
eral fanatics, but seems of
a light form and up to date we
hear Of no serious cases.
Mr.. Luther Martin after a very
long and painful illness of typhoid

There was a picnic at the close
OF the New Prospect Normal School
Prof. b. Y. Culbertson, Principal,
on Saturday, May I'D. In the
morning, Prof. Estees, Of Furman
University and Rev. Robert Adams,
OF Laurens addressed the audi
ence. MIR. Estes choose for his
subject: "School and its training."
Mr.. Adams spoke on the pathway
of life" That we were all travel
ling in the same direction, but each
one having his own individual path.
Both made very able and interest
ing discourses which was listened
to with great interest by a large
audience. The principal and pa
irons Of the school did everything
to make the occasion an enjoyable
one which was in every way a sue
cess. The afternoon was devoted
principally to the young people
in their useful way, sitning round
in buggies talking while ice cream
and lemonade were served in
abundance. A photographer was
present and at 4 o'clock the entire
school OF about one hundred pupils
was taken in a group.

h body of accomplished Caro-
linians held their annual session at the
graceful town of Newberry during last
week. They are q patriotic and en-
lightened gang. Ex-senator Walsh.
Editor Of the Augusta Chronicle de-
livered the annual address. His COM
pliments to Dawson, ex-Editor of the
News and Courier, were loudly APP
plauded by the Newberfy audience;
his illusions to Hampton as the greast-
est citizen the State has had, was
warmly %aprlauded by the spectators.
1t is not to be expected that every
body will remember in Wade Hampton
the man who opposed secession, then
when his State seeded made the great
est sacrifices, in the ensuing struggle
performed services shedding lustre up
on the citizenship OF the State and sig
nalizing the patriotism of the South;
few will remember with what patience
and wisdom he bore himself in 1857
redeeming his people and State against
odds unexampled in the ANNALS OF
this country. But there are here and
there noble mon and who will
appreciate the daring Of the Georgian
who ventured to praise Hampton, the
great citizen and soldier, in South
Carolina and did not forget Dawson, who
as a young talented Englishman, came
to the South, joined Fitz Lee and fought
1t out with us. We thank Walsh, the
Georgian, for his kind words for Fran
w. Dawson and Wade Hampton.
Senator McLaurin, under his APP
pointment, will serve until the I'd
Tuesday In January 1903, when the
General Assembly meets and will elect
the successor for tho remainder OF fudge
Earle's term-five years from the 4th
Of March 1893. 1t Is now conceded that
there will be a State primary after
the crops are laid by In which a big
crop OF candidates will likewise be
similarly disposed of.

The Usual Way.

The Columbia Militia was inspected,
and paraded, at Columbia, on Friday
evening last OH the grounds of the
South Carolina College. The College
boys at the same time we're playing
ball. The grounds about that great
city being circumscribed, there was
not room, a collision resulted and a
dirty riot. Casualties: One of the
college boys, McColl, scull crushed :;
Professor Means Davis, head laid open
to the scull for an inch and a half; n
policeman, head bruised, dressed by
city physician, and is out but not ON
duty; Maj. b.. b. Evans horse, cor
Adg't Gen. John Gary Watts staff hit
with a spent base ball.
We are reluctant to comment. With
out an investigation, the blame will be
hard to saddle. And with an investi-
CATION it will be harder. We shrewdly
suspect that the affair was %conseoucnt
upon the spirit Of vulgar official impor-
lance now prevalent in South Carolina.
1t is suggested as usual by the unso-
t~iphiscated, or sophisticated innocent,
That there be an Investigation to locate
the blame. We advise against it. Both
sides of the case will be proven. Never
mind the little matter of murder.

to give due credit to those partici-

Another number that was far
above the average at such like
gatherings was the opening duet

efficiently played by Lena Rosewarne

very tuneful, but executed with such

arrival he found things rather mixed
here. Besides the japanese trouble,
the smallpox, and the so-called quar-
antine OF number Of officials, he was
informed of the resignation of two
prominent officials. The vacancies
have to be filed before the 1st OF

men who will be acceptable to all
classes, competent to administer the
laws OF the country, and familiar
with the peculiarities and character

Suicide on Maui.

By the Claudine the sad news
reached us Of the suicide of Vim. Ii.
Daniels q we'll known and highly
respected citizen.
The details are very meager as
the news only reached the steamer
by telephone. We learned however
that the unfortunate man short
himself through the temple with a
revolver on Saturday afternoon at
Kailua, Hamakualoa, Maui, death
being instantaneous.
The deceased was about A years
old and was born ON Maui, son Of
the late Judge Daniels we'll l,known
old resident among the kamaainas.
After having received a good
education he went to work on plant
ations and ranches and was every
where esteemed as an energetic
young man full of enterprise and Of
temperate habits.
Together with w. H. Cummings,
the road supervisor OF Honolulu he
purchased the island Of Kahoolawe
which few years after was sold to
@. Sne yd-Kynnersley.
He was a member of the Legis-
lature during the sessions OF 1887
1888 Later on she became manager
of the Hawaiian Fruit and Taro Co.,
in Wailuku. He then opened a dry
goods store in Waikiki and took a
prominent part in the election OF
1890, when he was defeated as a
candidate for noble.
He was eventually appointed
district judge OF Wailuku position
which he held until the overturn OF
the Monarchy, when a renewal OF
his comm ssion was refused.
la 1895, during the so-called
rebellion the deceased was in. Ho-
nolulu on some legal business and
arrested without warrant or reason
and confined in Oahu Prison. He
was kept there over forty days and
then released without trial or any
reason being offered for his arrest
During his Imprisonment the
deceased, who naturally was Of an
easy going, ssnguine disposition be-
came vary morose and was hourly
brooding over the fate OF his wife and
his children with whom he had nc
means of communicating and whom
he knew to be virtually without
means of existence.
When released from Jail, he re-
turned to Maui where he received
employment as superintendent OF
the Haiku ditch from the manage
ment of Spreckelsville. Toget her
with his sons, also employed al
Spreckelsville, he started small
coffee plantation at Makawao,I (which
was prospering, Since his i'm
prisonment he was never the same
man again and his suicide must un
doubtedly have happened while his
mind was unbalanced.
The deceased leaves a widow and
large family. No further
particulars in regard to the sad even
can be received until tomorrow OF
the arrival of the Mauna Loa,
