He then went for the governors
course in reprimanding and dis
missing privates and not repri-
nsending Gen. Watts. A repri
mand was to abuse and cuss out.
Ellerbe's course he said was
"harsh, undemocratic and un-
warranted" (Applause.) If the
contract with Gonzales is carried
out he said,this great friend of the
people will ran the State and in
10 years every factory would
have negro labor. Negro labor
was already used in Charleston
and he understood was to be used
in Columbia. He was opposed to
getting negro labor in mills, as
this was suited to farm labor.
While IN the Senate he only
made two speeches as he saw no
use for talking. He always voted
for his people, ,and when he fought
the sugar deferential he held the
balance of power md could have
gotten fortune for his vote
When he voted for the people he
got no credit or newspaper pulfs.
He said he was sometimes
afraid to go about the hotels as
some one might get in trouble for
saying things about his farmer
like appearance.
McLaurin ought to have been
beaten for writing that squedunk
letter and he understood that
McLaurin and Gonzales thought
of running independent tickets
against the nominees for the Con
stitutional convention. General
Butler had McLaurin's blacklist
removed and he wanted to know
what Gen eral Butler was to get
for this and he wanted to know
where McLaurin then stood and
who he now favors and if he was
for Tillman's re- election, as that
was an issue, and he wanted Nc
Laurin asked how he stood as to
Tillman.
Mr.. McLaUrin said if he were
such a remarkable man as to be a
Populist, Republican and Demo
crat and could arrange so many
deals he would not think of run
nlng for senator, but would aim
higher. This was the first time
he had ever been sassed by a
corpse, he said in connection with
a Joke.
The talk about his being i'm
combination was entirely to throw
people off of the scent of the
combinations against him. He
complimented Irby's political
shrewdness. As to there being
any combination against McIver.
he and Mr.. w. ID. Evans did as
much as anyone to elect McIver
and as TO lrby's hurrahing about
defeating grand old men ,he would
remind him that Irby defeated
Wade Hampton, who had done
much for the State. He voted for
lrby as a party man and his only
regret was that Irby did not use
his ability and brains to fill the
place as he had hoped he would.

wanted such things equalized.
There was never proposed any in

He was not protectionist, as he

his sharp-nosed Madonna landscape

whose ''Annunciation'' in the Museum
of st. Marks shows a virgin, thin to
the extreme of gauntness, receiving her
tender message in a round-arched
Roman loggia. Art critics may see the
beauty of these angular productions;
ordinary observers. with the instinct Of
reverence seeking fit types of its Ideals
simply cannot.
