without further delay.

We sincerely regret the death OF
VIM. G. MCGOWAN. On the threshold
Of young manhood and with a future
before him that was roscatc with the
promise OF usefulness to his State, it is
doubly sad that his young life should
have SO suddenly been cut Off.
His was a mind Of even poisc, and
broadened by culture, he was equipped
to serve his day and generation.
Liberal in his views, staunch in
maintaining the right, gentle and kind,
he was the style of man the State has
need Of 1t was only short time ago
when he was mentioned as u candidate
for Governor the coming campaign
that we took occasion to say that man
ly men, brOadmindcd men, such as was
w. G. MCGOWAN would be the kind Of
mer the voters would be seeking in the
next campaign.
In the midst of life we arc in death
and the hour and the day no man know =
understand that calls hence men whom,
viewed from u human standpoint, we
can i'll afford to spare, but it is Il provi-
dence that docth all things we'll, and
we can only bow in humble submission
to His will.
We desire to add our tribute to the
manliness and the worth of w. G. Nc
Gowan and beg to tender our sympathy
to tbpSn who were npnr and 1por to
him.

Hay AND COKN F0K srAKrANnunG

~
a striking illustration Of The imprac-
tical and improvidcnt character Of too
many ruralists in the South, not to call
them "farmcrs,' is afforded in the
statement Of ear Spartanburg corrc-
spondent, printed yesterday, that the
merchants Of the county arc "bringing
hay and corn by the carload from the
West"
AS good hay can be grown in Spar
tanburg County us in the West, and it
can be gro"m as chcapIy there Hs in
the West. i'robubly it can be grown
more chcaply in Spartanburg County
than in the parts Of the "Wcst" where
this hay comes from, rs land aud labor
arc cheaper and rain costs no more.
Yet the county is buying hay by -thc
carload, while many Of the ruralists in
the county are sitting up at night to
calculate their losses from growing five
caut cotton and to bcwnil the hard
timcS.-NcwS and C0uvicr.
What is true Of Spar,anburg is no
GDhut true Of every other county in
South Carolina, and the wonder is that
ii remains true in the face Of recent cX-
pcricnces. Why the farmers will con-
1ihuc to believe that it is cheaper to
buy corn and flour and hay and oats
than it is to raise them is something
we cannot understand, especially when
they have to raise cotton at five cents
to pay for them.
Cotton growers conventions cannot
help the situation as long rs individual
farmers keep up this practice.
We believe, however, that SO far as
this county is concerned there have
been more oats and wheat planted than
in several years, and the Indications arc
that there will be good, largo acreage
planted in corn. 1t is we'll. In fact, in
this kind of farming lies the only saliva
tion for the South Carolina farmer.

We are in receipt OF Il note from the
Hon. w. II. Thomas, of Charleston,
that our criticism of him in connection
with'thc advertising bill wnsun just, ,inas-
much rs he not only did not oppose the
bill, but voted for 1t. We thought Il
little strange that he should have donc
otherwise, and we gladly make the cor
rcction of his position and beg his par
don for the criticism. The fact Is we
forgot there was another Thomas in
the Legislature. But we now recall
there Is one from Richland-J. u.
Thomas-and we suppose ho is the gen
tlcman who saw no merit in the meas
ure. That was because he did not
know what he was talking about. But
our only purpose now is to sct right
tho Hon. w. II. Thomas, Of Charles
ton, who is a worry clever gentleman.

"SrAND TO THE RACKl"

But rs to how Mr.. Schumpert stands
on the issues that will be presented in
this campaign, we do not know. If
elected we believe he would use his
best endeavOrs to enforce any law the
legislative power Of the government
sees fit to enact, but before eXpres- -ing
preference between several very excel
lent gentlemen who will be in tho race,
we prefer to hear them further. Aside
from the issues that may be presented
we believe that Mr.. Schumpcrt pos
SesscS qualities and attachments that
should make him first in tho race
Spartanburg Herald.
Vol, but YOU have already expressed
preference. You are the org II Il
S;humpert package. lou edltorlully
suggested Mr.. Schumpcrt months ago.
You arc presume d to have bet n familiar
with his views before you brought his
name forward. You should stand to
the rack, fodder or no fodder.
The News is committed TO no man
Tor Governor but Schumpert is good
fellow. Why should his sporeH- enter
tain the thought Of possibly dcscrting
him?-Greenvillc News.
There are several original Schum-
to the rack, ard when the returns arc
in we expect to be standing at the rack
that has the fodder. II Schumpcrt is
not nominated on the first round he
will not be far from il. In fact, he will
be SO near that we shall expect the
next man just to withdraw and save
the trouble Of a second primary.
Schumpcrt has both brains and back
bone, and those arc the qualities the
people of South Carolina arc now look
ing for. in fact, it makes most excel
lent combination.
But it is entirely too soon to be talk
ing about these things. Wait until
we get our crop pitched and our liens
all fixed up and we see what is going to
be the outcome of the explosion OF tho
Maine and the war with Spain, and
then VIC will be ready to talk with you
about such tribes as South Carolina
politics. In the meantime, however,
we shall keep one eye on the situation
and try to keep posted us to passing
events in South Carolina politics.

A GREAT SYSTEM.
Speculation as to the Probable Action
Of the Union Pacific.

A telegram from Salt Lake says: The
conviction is gaining ground among
the railroad officials of this city that
the program laid out by the managers
Of the Union Pacific Railroad company
is more far-reaching than the officials.
while here, were willing to admit.
There is now no longer any doubt
but that the intention is to weld again
into practically one system not only
the Union Pacific and the Short Line,
but also the Oregon Railway and Navi-
cation company through the holdings
Of the Oregon Short Line, and thus
make n system from Omaha to Port
land. At the general Office Of the Short
Line they are only waiting for the &C.
ton OF the board at the forthcoming
meeting in Boston.
1t is strongly limited in some quar-
ters that there will be a general reor-
ganization Of the offices and that some
far-reaching changes will take place,
and only certain offices pertaining to
the operating of the system as 1t now
is will be left In this city. the others to
be removed to Omaha. In the mean
time all are waiting anxiously for the
meeting in the east, as no one knows
where the lightning will strike.

THEY DON'T POINT.

We haven't seen a single democrat
during the present campaign standing
around the street corner pointing with
pride" at anything his party has done
for the country in the recent past. They
haven't pointed with pride at their
late national administration under the
great and good Grover, with it's bond
sales, its Wilson bill and it's Coxey
armies.
They don't point with pride" to the
record of Johnnie Osborne in congress
during the past two years.
They don't point with pride" to their
achievements during the n time when
they had control of the state govern
ment. when Governor Osborne crawled
in at the window of the state house and
A.. l.. New and Cocktail Dodge raj the
legislature: of the United States sena-
tors they elected and the volume OF laws
they enacted-half as large as a patent
medicine almanac.
They don't even point with pride to
their government OF Albany county,
when they had control of its affairs in
1894.
1t is surprising how modest the dem
ocrats have grown of late and looks
suspicious. vii 1.-The Boomerang rise

Judge John w. Lacey. and on the stage

The speaker of the evening was Hon.
Webster Davis, assistant secretary Of

national issues, the tariff, finance and
territorial expansion. and created a
favorable impression. his address be-
ing witty, good natured and at times
eloquent. Mr.. Davis will speak tonight

Thurston of Nebraska will speak in
Cheyenne on Monday evening next.

A daring burglary occurred in Lar
annie last night. The front door of the
Durlaoher Clothing company's store
was opened and an iron cash box con-
tanning cash and checks to the amount
of $ll0 taken from the safe.
When John Cordiner, a clerk in the
establishment, arrived at the store this
morning, he found the front door part
ly open, and an investigation showed
that the slide-bolts which hold the
stationary half OF the double door were
not in their respective sockets and that
the bolt of the lock was outside of the
catch. The slide-bolt in the upper part
of the door is somewhat loose, and has
been known to slip down, and it is
supposed that the thief was aware Of
this fact and raised the lower bolt at
some previous time, trusting that the
action would not be discovered. This
scheme was made more feasible by the
fact that the stationary door sticks at
the bottom and requires quite a push
t force it open; but a trial this norm
ing showed that it IA no hard matter
to effect an entrance by forcing the
doors open even while locked. Man
ager Bauman locked up the store last
night and as Is his custom tried the
door, and it did not yield.
After getting into the store the thief
evidently went direct to the safe. open
ed it and with the aid OF a pocket knife
and a pair OF large shears, cut and
broke away the woodwork surround
ing the iron cash box and took the box
and its contents with him. Mr.. Bau-
man recollects closing the safe last
night, but says it is possible he did
not turn the combination lock SUI
ficiently to prevent the safe being
opened.
In the cash box were two checks for
s26 and $1O.35. respectively. and about
$74 in cash. AS far as is known. moth
ing else in the store was disturbed.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no
trace of the missing property had been
found, nor had the officers obtained
the slightest clue which would lead to
the apprehension of the robber. 1t is
probable that this affair, like many
others OF a similar nature which have
happened lately, will be allowed to
drop, and the thief will in all likeli-
hood go unpublished.

FIRST NATIONAL
CLOSED ITS DOORS IN 1893 BE-
CAUSE OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC PANIC.
But Did Not Stay Closed Long-Inves-
tigation by Comptroller Found the
Bank Solvent and 1t Soon Reopen
ed, Paying Every Creditor in Full,
Dollar for Observation-Disclosures

That journalistic maverick which
passes under the name Wyoming Citi-
zen" has called attention to the finan-
cial RECORD CT George E. Abbott and the
First National bank of Cheyenne. For
this the Citizen" is entitled to the
thanks OF Mr.. Abbott and the bank.
1t is true. as stated by the Citizen
that the First National bank for a time
closed it's doors in 1893. It will be re-
membered that all the banks of those
great financial centers, New York and
or the checks and drafts of the deposit
tors whose funds were held. In New
York and Chicago the banks did not
close their doors. The officers simply
stood behind their counters and refus-
ed to pay out any money, offering clear
ing house certificates instead. Thous-
ands Of banks besides all over the coun-
try closed their doors. What caused
that disaster? The people well remem-
Der. 1t was the election and Inaugural
ton of a democratic president, support
ed by a democratic congress-the put
ting in practice of those policies advo-
Gated by the democratic party.
But how did Mr.. Abbott and the First
National come out OF the stress Of 1893?
The bank was at once investigated by
the comptroller Of the currency and
found so thoroughly solvent that it was
told it could reopen it's doors whenever
it might choose to do so. 1t had simply
loaned to the people Of Wyoming a por-
ton Of the money received by its de-
positors, as it's duty was, and therefore
could not pay all Of its depositors in
money until some collections could be
made. That was the whole of it. In a
very brief time it made its collections
and paid every creditor in full. No de-
positors or other creditors ever lost a
dollar of money loaned to or deposited
with George E. Abbott or the First Ma
tional bank, and the bank is stronger
today than ever before.
How many thousands of dollars have
been lost by the creditors Of Luke Voor-
hees. 1t is no crime for Luke Voorhees,
to be poor. That is not the question.
What has he done with the property and
money OF other people entrusted to
him? Shall the State Of Wyoming en-
trust its money to the same hands that
have hopelessly lost so many thou
sands OF dollars entrusted to him by his
fellows?
There is another and broader ques-
ton still. Shall the votes Of Wyoming
be given to that party whose policies
brought the low prices and financial
disasters Of 1898, or shall they be given
to the republican party which has al
ready found a way to increase the price
of everything the people Of the state
have tt sell, and to give employment to
thousands OF the unemployed?-Chey-
enne Tribune.

ON A BOG.
Report to Supervising Architect From
Cheyenne.

Report to supervising Architect From
Cheyenne.
A special to the Salt Lake Tribune
from Washington says: Reports from
Cheyenne, Wyo.. to the supervising
architect of the treasury disclose the
fact hat the government building is
located on a bog. This fact was not
known when the site was purchased, as
the city engineer reported good soil
there. After the excavation for the
foundation was begun the bog was dis
covered. and it will be necessary to en-
pend a considerable sun to make the
foundation strong enough to hold the
building. Keefe & Bradley. the con-
tractors for the excavation and foun-
dalton. have been asked to submit a
bid for the extra work. It will probably
cost $40, 900 or more.
