Fake NJ oney Orders.

A man giving the name of John E.
Ford, and claiming to be from Ohio,
was arrested at Wilmington, Del,
Wednesday night, after he had passed
an alleged fraudulent money order on
William r. Mearns, Market street
merchant, in payment for hat. To.
day he was turned over to the Federal
authorizes. In Ford's possession was
found set of rubber stamps like those
used in the postoffices for filling out
money orders. The order that was
passed on Mearns was dated Belmore,
Ohio, and a number of other blank
money orders were found on him.
Ford, it is said has confessed that he
was member of gang that had been
operating with these money orders
throughout the country. The authori,
ties learned tonight that the postottice
al Belmore, Ohio, was robbed OF a
book containing 100000 in blank
money orders. and it is supposed that
the members Of the gang flied out
these ordrs and worked them off
in various cities. Secret service
detectives from Washington are
at work on the case. 1t is said that
another arrest of the leading member
of the gang has bsen made, but the
authorities refuse to tell who he is or
where he was arrested.

Most Excellent Advice.

Let every man and woman profess.

God to pay their debts as speedily as
possible. If they cannot pay at present,
see that definite settlement is made.
There is a lack of faithfulness along
these lines. Certainly the Golden
Rule should be the controlling prin-

word of exortation; be as straight as a
perfect Southern pine in your fnan-

scrupulously honest. The above is

the summit, and the second was only

EVANS SCORES TILLMAN.
He Says the Senator'S Tariff Views Are
Wrong.

Ex Governor John Gary Evans was
in Columbia Wednesday and he ap-
peared to be in good spirits. He didn't
look as though he had lost any sleep
ever the result of the recent primary
election, aud when asked as to an ex.
preston of opinion about the general
result, he said:
II entered this race reluctantly az
ter being assured by my friends that
The chances for winning were remote,
but I decided, after hearing Mr.. Nc
Laurin's speech at Sumter, and upon
the defiance of my enemies, to, make a
fight, not on any factional or sectional
lines, but upon the platform of the
Democratic party, and to fight for
those principles which have always
been dear to every South Carolinian,
and upon which alone rest our pros
perity. have been much gratified
by the manner in which my speeches
have been received throughout the
State, and have received the COM
mendation of many of my bitterest
political enemies.
1.-The great majority Of the people
OF South Carolina believe in the pria-
ciples advocated by me aud are op'
posed to the attitude OF both Tillman
and McLaurin in the United States
Senate. Under the lash of the conser-
vative press, their followers have
voted without regard to principles, be-
ing actuated more by desire, as they
termed it, to destroy factionalism in
local politics. An inspection of the
vote shows that not Is per cent. of the
farmers of the State have voted, and
not half of The Democratic vote of the
State. The cause Of this was the dis
gust on the part CT the reformers with
the present State administration and
| its deals and chickering's with men
who have always been their enemies.
Added to this, was Senator Tillmar s
advocacy OF McLaurin's tariff views
and his assertion that McLaurin was
with him" and the defeat OF the Ole
meant the Reputation of the other.
Naturally, our friends were at sea, and
they remained at home, refusing to
vote against their honest conv Iclions,
but at the same time fearing that an
injury may be done Senator Tillman,
who has posed as reform leader, but
has never led in crisis.
II had expected an honest and hon.
orable fight, but I regret to say that
such was not the case. During the
last four days of the campaign. Sian.
dereous circulars were issued to poison
the minds OF the people without Civ.
ing us chance to reply. The sick
ness of my chief opponent while he
lay in bed writing manifestos and en-,
dorsing circulars containing personal
attacks on me, but more of this here
after.
Il have no regrets to make for the
campaign, and 70 apologies to offer.
shall continue the fight along the
same lines and shall not sulk, but
take my defeat philosophically, as
have an abiding faith that the neol lie
| OF the state will yet see the injustice
which has been done the Democratic
party by endorsing a man who has
lrepudiated the underlying principles
! of the party platform.
Governor Evans left the city in the
afternoon for Aiken, his formerh home,
where he intends to practice law.

and obligingly took up his abode with

HIS PATRIOTIC WORDS.
McLaurin Writes a Letter in Which He
Inter prets tho Vote.


Inter prets tho Vote.
Senator John L. McLaurin has writ
ten the following letter to the Consti,
tuition:
I'm response to your request I will
say that I am, of course, deeply CRATE
full to the people of South Carolina
for this marked evidence of their con-
fdence and esteem. No man could
have this feeling more sincerely than
I. The result is particularly crafty.
ing in view of the chars cter of the
fight that has been made upon me and
of the serious illness which has pre-.
vented my participating in the cam
paigning during the past three weeks.
1t is needless for me to add that in
my future service in the Senate, as in
my six years of service in the lower
house of congress, my entire energies
shall be devoted to the welfare of my
State, for God knows every throb OF
my heart has been for South Carolina
ana for that which believe to be the
good of her people.
"As to the meaning of my endorse
ment at the hands of the people can
say that during this campaign my ap.
peal has been to the intelligence, the
honor and the reason of the people.
While my opponents have appealed to
everything in human nature that is
low and base and mean, the result
shows that there is more intelligence,
virtue and honesty in South Carolina
than there is OF ignorance and preju'
dice.
It IS, too, an Endorsement by the
people of the State Of the Democratic
principle of tariff for revenue. The
efforts on the part of my opponents to
misrepresent my position on the tariff
question may have been successful in
some individual instances, but for the
most part the people have understood
that my stand has been squarely upon
the Democratic platform and that my
votes in trying to amend the Dingley
bill we're cast in defense of the people
whom L represent and to compel the
Republican party to place the South
IS nearly as possible upon an equal
footing with the balance of the coun'
try. They have indorsed my record
in SO voting, as I knew they would,
for the principle which inspired those
votes was the trus Democratic princi
pie of equality.
"With regard to internal sffairs in
South Carolina regard the result oil
this primary as meaning pre.eminent
ly the end of factional feeling in the
State. A new political era has dawn
ed on the State. Up to this time fol
the past six years the elections, State
county, municipal, from county coro.
ner up, have only been a question az
to the man who could shout the loud
est for the reform faction and for Till
man. I do not mean to. say anything
against Senator Tiilman or to impugn
the motives of the men who have beer
calling for reform, but believe the
time has come when something else
is required of public men and aspi
rants for Office generally. The decis
ion of the people from this time for
ward is going to be based on the abil
ity and the character of the man an6
the doctrine and principles he advo
Gates. That is one meaning of the re-
suit of this primary and so far as
South Carolina is concerned it is by
no means the least.
