New Zion Letter.
Specia! to The 1INEs:

Special to The lines:
l think The TIMES editor has
taken the right stand in regard to
the completion Of the State house.
I think that inasmuch as the people
of Clarendon county have placed the
editor of The TIMES in an important
position in regard to the levying OF
taxes they will be gratifed at the
position he has taken. The taxpay-
ers Of this State are already burdened
with taxes, and to raise the State
levy at this time would be more than
the people would stand. At any rate
the people should have an opportu-
nifty of saying whether or not the
levy should be raised, and I venture
the assertion that no candidate will
come out and advocate an increase
in the tax levy if he has any idea OF
being elected.
There are many people in this
county who would like to see the
State house completed il they were
able just now to stand an increase in
the levy, but at this time they are
too poor. The building has answered
every purpose for many years and
will answer for many more, so when
it is proposed to raise the levy to
complete it, let the people have say
so, is the wish Of A. F.

had copious showers during the three

Cotton is better than for several
years past. Corn is doing we'll, but
would probably have made more
with more rain. Tobacco is being
cured in all the barns around here,
and large quantity may be expected
on the market shortly. l believe our

hope is not without reason.

Editor TIE TIMgs:
Permit me, through your medium,
to express my gratitude to NY peo-
Pile, the people Of Summerton and
surrounding country, the best people
in the world They elected me prin-
cipal of the Graded School, thus
showing their appreciation Of me
and their confidence in me, no mat
ter what the mistakes Of my past life
have have been; for this token of es-
TEEN l am profoundly thankful. l
believe that we ought to let each
other know in this life that we are
appreciated. This being the great
est compliment Of my life, it was q
pressure indeed to accept the posi-
tion. While / decline to accept the
position with the best of motives and
reasons, l am renewed in zeal by this
action of my people to press with
vigor onward and upward and to
become worthy of their confidence
and esteem.
While writing, let me thank those
who showered every kindness and
attention to my son Fred, who met
with a painful and almost fatal ac-
cident at Pamela on Friday, 21st, and
to the old and young, the boys and
girls at Summerton, who are now
paying him every attention, l am
grateful. Through the mercy OF a
kind Providence and skilful physi-
clan, he will soon be himself again"
With a heart overfowing with
gratitude,
Yours truly,

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there IS at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that IS catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure IS the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being q constitutional disease, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
CT the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work

curative powers that they offer one hundred

Those newspapers editors in this
State who are persistiug in their in
timations that Senator McLaurln
made deal with Presiden. Mckinley
to vote for the peace treaty IN return
for Judge Si.nmonton's official shoes,
know full we'll that they have no
foundations for their miserable asser-
tons, and it is only part OF the con-
cocted program which was conceived
long before the peace treaty was be-
fore congress, for the qualification Of
a sore-headed, defeated Congressman
whose district WAS very weakly repre-
sented while he was in Congress. The
idea of charging John McLaurin with
being republican is absurd, and
why is the charge made? Because
McLaurin in his judgement saw TT
to break away from certain self ap-
pointed party leaders and assert his
own manhood. He voted for the
peace treaty after tue American flag
WAS fired upon by foreigners, because
by rejecting the treaty it WAS virtu-
ally acknowledging that Dewey had
no business in Manila bay. William
Jennings Bryan, the chosen leader OF
the Democratic party, and who viii
be the party's nominee next year If
be lives, advised and urged the demo
Gratis in Congress to rstify the peace
treaty. We read the declarations OF
newspapers that declare McLaurin
republican, and at the same time they
hold up Bryan as symbol of Democ-
rscy, and we are amazed at their in
consistency. If McLaurin by voting
for the peace treaty is a Republican,
then Bryan who advised his adherents
to vote for the treaty must also be 8
Republican and therefore should not
have place at the head Of the Demo-
cratic ticket. But where do these
editors get their idea that voting for
the peace treaty is treachsry to De-
mocracy? The declarations OF a par
ty are made in its platform, and the
Democratic party has not as yet made
any declarations, one way or another.
1t might as well be said that because
Hoar of Massachusetts,, and Edmunds
of Vermont, both distinguished and
lifelong Republicans, have made
speeches against McKinley's war pol
icy that they are Democrats, we hear
no such charge as that, but because
McLaurin has seen fit to. differ with
Ben Tillman on purely question Of
American policy, when no party feal-
ty is involved, be is at once stigma
tized Republican. Take McLaurin's
record in Congress and see how faith
fully his votes have been cast when q
question involving the Democratic
platform came up. No, McLaurin is
not Republican, nor was his vote
cast for Simonton's judicial robe, and
before his term shall have expired the
people of South Carolina who are
doubling him now, will see that even
if mistaken, he has been an honest
and faithful Senator, doing what he
could for his people.
