FOR FIGHTING TRUSTS.
Gov. Saycrs of Texas Writes to
Gov. McSweeney.

Gov. Jos. d. Sayers of Texas
has written Gov. McSwccney as
follows:
Dear Sir: After much rcflec.
ton, | have concluded that it
would not he improper for me to
suggest that conference of the
governors and attorneys general
OF the several States and tcrrito-
rlcs be held TO consider the effect.
which the formation of trusts is
having upon the country, and if
possible, to agree upon Il character
OF Legislation that will not only
force those now existing into dis,
olution, but will also prevent
their further creation. | am
firmly of the opinion that if as
many as twenty States can he in.
duced to adopt uniform policy
in reference to this generally ad.
mitted evil, and will enforce such
policy with frmness, impartiality
and vigor, relief will surely and
quickly follow. 1t cannot be
doubted that in this matter State
action is necessary and that uni
formitY in the enactment and en-
forcement of legislation lndispen-
sable. | have, therefore, to re-
spectfully suggest to your excel
lency and to the attorney general
of your State, that conference
of the governors and attorneys
general of such States and Ter
ritories as may see proper to at
tend, be held at St. Louis, on
Wednesday, the Goth day of Sep
tembcr, 1899, for the purpose of
taking such action as may be
deemed proper respecting the
subject matter of this comunica
tion. An early reply, advising
me of your views and intentions,
is requested.

MCLAURIN TO McSWEENEY
The Junior Senator Sends the
Governor a Sensible Letter.

Amongst the numerous letters
OF congratulation, etc, received
by Governor McSweeney, on his
accession to the Office of chief
executive, the following from
Senator McLaurin, dated Bcn>
nettsviIIe, June 5, is one Of the
most striking:
Governor. NJ. b. McSweencv.
My Dear Sir: While your ac.
cesslon to the gubernatoriaI y office
has been the result of the sad
and untincly death Of our mutual
friend, Governor EIIerbe, yet |
hasten to extend to you my con.
gratuIatiOns. One who is placed
in this high position without bit
terness of feeling and the strup-
gle incident t) the attainment of
it, and who is not em 5arrassed by
any political promises or obliga-
tions, is free to discharge the re-
sponsiblo duties of the office with
an eye single to the public good
and without the exhibition of a
particle of party feeling.
feel that your good judgment
will take advantage of your op-
portunity and make your admin
istration a blessing to the people
of South Carolina. Governor
Ellerbe did much to harmonic
differences among political fac
tions in the state, and | feel that
the completion of the work has
been entrusted 20 safe hands.
There is need now for statesman
ship at the helm, and it is fortunate
for the state that if Governor
Ellerbe must die that one so
worth is to be his successor. |
have no doubt that you will bring
to the discharge Of the high obi,
cations of the Office that ability
and earnestncss of purpose neces-
sary, and that you will receive
and deserve the pIaudit, "Well
done, good and faithful servant. ="
Allow me to congratulate you and
to offer any aid | can at any time.
\ ours very sincerely,
John l.. McLaurin.

TRUST THE COURTS.
Prompt and satisfactory Dispo>
sition Of an ASsaultcr.

BaXley, Ga, June s.-Within
one hour after being placed upon
trial here today for an assault
upon Mrs, Vicey Edgerton, the
negro, Will AbIeS, was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged. The
hanging will be in AppIing coun
ty, on June 3Oth, the earliest
date the law allows after sentence
is passed.
Many people believe the charge
delivered by Judge Bennett to
the grand Jury saved this county
the stain Of Iynching. Armed
men sat IN the court house today,
waiting for the train to arrive
from Brunswick, when they in
tended to take the rapist off and
hang him, yet when Judge Ben
nett 5 charge was delivered, they
wept under its influence, and stood
silently by as the prisoner, whose
life they demanded, was marched
past for trial. Three eminent
counsel, led by Judge Parker,
conducted the defense.
Mrs. Edgerton testified positive
ly and repeatedly that Ables &C,
complished his purpose after re-
peated struggles and threats of
death, and the prisoner practically
confessed his crime. When Mrs
Edgerton was told of the death
sentence, she said she was glad of
it, and wished it could be a thou.

COLUMBIA GETS THE GUN.
Gov. McSweeney's Action About
the Santiago Relic.

II was stated a few days ago
that Gov. McSweency was in
favor of having the cannon capt
ured ut Santiago, which the United
States government proposed to
give to this State, placed in Co
lumbia. 1t was also stated that
he did not have the funds avaiIa
bile to pay the freight on the gur
and for the mounting of it, but
was willing to order it brought
here if Columbia would stand the
small necessary expense. Gester
day afternoon, desiring to reply
to the war department imedIately,
Gov. McSweeney asked several
Columbians if they thought the
council or the citizens would
stand the expense, he being will
ing to subscribe himself. Being
assured that there would scarcely
be any question bout the matter
the governor Immediately ordered
the gun shipped to him here. -

An exchange is responsible for
tins, says the Anderson InteIli-
gcnccr:
'Third note. Every editor has
received them. The postmaster
sends them to the editor. The
postmaster is not blamed. For in
stance, there was II man 10y the
name of we'll, say Tim Short, who
sent us three notices to stop his
paper; he did not want it any
longer. We wondered what was
the matter. Upon investigating
our subscription book we found
Tim was 81. SO short. He never
paid Il cent, and yet he stopped
his paper as matter of economy
to us. A few evenings ago we
stepped into church and Tim :
melodiOus voice rang out so loud
and clear in that old soul-stlrrine
song, Jesus Paid it An He
might have been mistaken; but
his earnestness impressed US. The
next day we sent him a receipt in
full, begging his pardon for not
knowing that he had made an as
signment of his liabilities to the
Lord"
