|NThe resolution providing for the
submission to popular vote of the ques'
ton of amending the constitution OF
the state, so as to provide for biennial
sessions of the legislature instead of
annual sessions as now, has been kill
ed by the senate. On the first reading
that body passed the resolution by a
vote of 26 to II, and on the second
reading the result was 26 to 13-1 less
than the necessary two-thirds. We
have been watching this resolution
with good deal Of interest, and are
somewhat disappointed at the outcome.
The principal argument against the
resolution was that made by Senator
Graydon. He claimed that there was
no demand for biennial sessions except
by the press, which does not voice the
sentiment of the people, and that an
nual sessions are necessary to keep up
with the procession of progress. Sen
ator Blakeney had already stated that
81 states now follow the biennial ses-
sions system, and this seems to have
been pretty strong argument that
the resolution was rather on the pro-
gressive order. The same senator also
stated that if the people shall make
the change, the saving to them would
be between forty and sixty thousand
dollars year, and that also would be
quite an item. He might also have
mentioned in his argument the relief
that would be secured from the bien-
nial decentralization incident to the
selection of representatives. But then,
none of these things furnish proof of
Senator Graydon's contention that the
demand for biennial sessions comes
only from the newspapers. This is a
matter that can best be settled by sub
mission of the question to a popular
vote, where the people may decide for
themselves. 1t is quite possible that
the senator may be right in his opin-
lou; but we are unwilling to accept
that possibility as fact until there
has been an actual test.

RRYAN AND THE PEOPLE.

Below are some facts about Mr.. Bry'
ans career that will interest many
They are from a Washington special
to the Raleigh Post:
"In fact, his trip through New Eng
land and the middle states has been
one continuous ovation. In rock-rib'
bed Vermont and Massachusetts, be
spoke to audiences the like OF which
have not been seen in years. The en-
thusiasm evoked is wonder and a
dread to the Republican politicians
who are beginning dimly to realize the
wonderful hold Bryan has upon the
affections of the common people. He
is likened to Clay in this respect, who
in his day was the popular idol. Then,
however, the country was sparsely
populated now it contains five times
the number of people it did then. Nc
man in the history of this country ever
addressed face to face so many people
as Bryan has. No man ever shook
the hand of so many people. 1t is
entirely safe to say that no man in the
history of the world ever spoke to as
many people as Bryan has in any era
of the worlds history.
"a conservative estimate places the
number at 100000 in the last three
wears, and these addresses have been
made in every state in the union. At

INTO THE FREE STATE.
Lord Roberts Has His Campaign Well Un-
der Way.

Lord Roberts Has His Campaign wen On-
der Way.
The British army, for the first time
since the war began, is inside the Boer
frontier, says dispatch of Thursday.
Lord Roberts, with at least 10000 in
fantry, 1000 cavalry and $50 guns,
has turned the Magersfontein lines be-
fore which the British forces have been
encamped for 10 weeks and, with half
of his corps, be is already operating on
Free Stale territory.
A battle has not yet been fought ;
but large tactical advantages have
been gained. The relief of Kimberly
is within measurable reach, and the
way to Bloemfontein is appreciably
easier.
The dispatches of Lord Roberts
sketch three days work. The forward
movement began on Sunday, when
Colonel Hanney set out with brigade
of mounted infantry for Ramah, on the
Reit, eight miles from Jacobsdal, one
of the Boer supply bases.
On Monday General French, with
the cavalry division, seized the cross
ing of the Reit river at Dekits drift,
south of Jacobsdal and Is miles east
of Honey Nest kloof. He skirmished
with the Beers and cleared the way
for 10000 infantry who followed
across.
General French has now fixed him
self on General Cronje's main line OF
communications with Bloemfontein,
and 10000 infantry, with 70 guns, are
being pushed up to support him there.
Lord Roberts dispatches, wired from
inside the Free State and on the Reit
river, left him Wednesday morning.
His advance had not been opposed by
the Beers in force. Their patrols mel
ted away as the Beers moved forward.
The Boer army is likely to be felt in a
day or two and q battle is consequent
ly imminent.
AS to what forces General Cronje
has now at his disposal and as to where
he purposes making stand against
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-02-17

the invaders, no one here connected
with the war office knows anything.
The data for conceptions are wholly
wanting.
The forces Immediately at the dis
posal of Lord Roberts are placed at
$4,000 in general way. The Incl.
dents at Rensburg have been seen out
of all proportion. Merely skeleton
lines were maintained there while
troops were being secretly and rapidly
concentrated on the Modder river.
The facility with which 10000 men
have already been sent beyond the rail
terminus shows that Lord Kitchener
has been fully successful in organizing
transport. He is now supposed to be
down the line, sending forward more
troops and getting together more trans,
ports. About FIVE miles off OK and
mule wagon trains are estimated for
each division, so that Lord Kitchener,
who is reputed to have more skill than
a circus manager in managing field
transport, has immense labors in hand.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-02-17

1t is we'll to remember that in fore
casting the probable size of the cotton
crop. we must take into consideration
not only the acreage but the "mule-
age" Heretofore, both of these ele
ments have been taken for granted. 1t
was assumed that after the planter had
decided upon his acreage, the muleage
would follow as matter of course.
But not so this year. The acreage is
here all right enough the same as it
has been but this year the muleage
promises to be factor that will enter
largely into the matter of "baleage."
That mules were scarcer to begin with
this year than usual, there is no doubt,
and the South African war is con-
tinuiug to contribute to this scarcity
on a scale that will necessarily show
up later on. A Fort Worth, Texas,
dispatch of Wednesday says that up
to that date, 1000 mules have neen
shipped from that city to South Africa,
and it is estimated that not less than
1000 have been shipped from Texas
since the beginning Of the war. This
is only to be taken as a suggestion
of the number shipped from other
states. Then, with reduction of the
muleage, it naturally follows that there
must be a reduction in acreage, and
the reduction of the acreage will mean
decrease in the baleage, which ought
to mean an increase of the "priceage." "
Seriously, we think that the prospects
are good for better prices next fall
but still we are not inclined to change
the advice that we have heretofore

- Three years ago the opponents to
Mr.. Bryan based their hopes of his de-
feat principally on the fact that he was
a new man and the precedent that nc
presidential candidate who ventured
on the stump had ever been elected
Since then Mr.. Bryan has directly ad'
dressed at least a majority of the
voters of the United States, an achieve
ment which, four years ago, no one
would have ever dreamed to be
within the power of one man to ac'
complish. There is not the slightest
doubt now that Mr.. Bryan is stronger
at this time than he was four years
ago. 1t is generally conceded on all
hands that he will get the Democratic
nomination next summer almost unan'
imously, and in view of all the clrcum'
stances it is not impossible that be
will be elected.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-02-17

intervals of a year or so he has ad-
dressed the same people once or twice
frequently, and yet the people never
seem to tire of him. And well they
may not. He always has something
new to say or dresses up his old ideas
in new form. His every speech con-
tains epigrams that can be remember
ed, thoughts that impress; and though
he breaches silver, as the minister does
the gospel, he seems to put new life
into it in every effort. Od-time poll.
ticians here marvel at his originality
and force and they marvel more at the
fervor he has so recently created in
the east. Grant and Sherman and
Hancock, all war heroes, crowned with
the laurels of victory, made tours OF
New England. They were accorded
many receptions, but no one recalls
that factories closed, shoolhouses were
shut up, business suspended TO hear
them talk or to tender them recep-
,ions. Yet this is what occurred in
several towns in Massachusetts and
New Jersey when Bryan spoke on
trusts, silver and imperialism. 1t is
this that alarms the Republicans.
With the press of the country and the
two news associations practically solid
against Bryan and the Chicago plat
form, the evidence of the peoples de.
votion is one of the marvels of this age
where the nrpss il sO Dotent in mould
ing public sentiment.
"As Bryan has explained many
times, it is necessary for him and 9TH
ers who stand by the Chicago platform,
to talk to the people face to face, be-
cause the large newspapers of the
country and the press associations will
not give the Democrats fair report.
In nearly every report sent broadcast
of his utterances, Misrepresentation
are purposely made. So be talks to
the people direct"

THE PHILIPPINES COMMISSION.
President Mckinley Has Not Yet Selected
tho Members.

President Mckinley Has Not Yet Selected
tho Members.
The Washington correspondent of
The Atlanta Constitution, writing to
his paper under date last of Tuesday,
sends the following with reference TO
the new Philippines commission:
President Mckinley will appoint
one southern man upon his new Phil
ippine com mission; but he has not yet
determined who that man is to be. 1t
does not seem likely, however, that he
will be either Senator McLaurin, of
South Carolina; Senator Sullivan of
Mississippi; or Senator Pritchard OF
North Carolina, whose names have
been most prominently mentioned in
connection with the place. 1t was at
first stated that Senator McLaurin
could have the position if he desired
it; but those who talked with the pres
ident today incline to the belief that
be would prefer to take some man out
side of congress providing the right
man could be found. The fact is that
until all questions growing out of the
Philippines situation are settled, the
president prefers to have those men
who are regarded as expansionists
remain in congress where their voice
may be needed.
While both Senator Sullivan and
Senator Pritchard are quoted by the
newspapers as having strongly urged
the appointment of Senator McLaurin,
it is generally believed that both of
these gentlemen would themselves like
the appointment. There seems no
chance for Senator Pritchard, under
any circumstances, for the presidents
idea in going to the south will be to
get q Democrat. Senator McLaurin
returned from New York this after
noon. He said he had given the sub
ject no thought, having been away
since the matter was first broached.
He is not a candidate but believes the
south should have representation on
the commission and will urged this
upon the president.

lenberger has decided that no one who
lives away from the route involved
can give such guarantee. Accordingly
a general notice was published today
announcing that no star route con-
tracts will be awarded in the future
except to contractors who live on or
adjacent to the routes. This is not to
apply, however, to contractors who
intend TO move near the route or to the
relettipg of route made necessary by
a failure under an existing contract.

TO REMOVE RECEIVERS.

The preliminary proceedings in the
case of the Commercial and Farmers
bank have not yet been concluded.
Before Judge Gage, at Chester, to-
day, a motion will be argued looking
to the removal of Mr.. D. Hutchison as
temporary receiver and the appoint
ment to the position of some other
individual to be designated by the
petitioners.
At the same time and place, there
will be motion to remove Mr.. r. Lee
Kerr as receiver of the assets of the
Rock Hill Cotton Factory company.
The proceedings, of course, are ex
parte, and the allegations are of a ma
ture that are hardly proper for publi-
cation until after they have been es-
tablished.

- There is much violent opposition
to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty even by
statesmen and newspapers in favor o.
the construction of the Nicaragua
canal. The principal contention is
based upon the right of the United
States to build, fortify, and own the
canal regardless of the wishes of Great
Britain or any other power. 1t seems
to be quite probable that the Hay
Pauncefote treaty will be defeated in
the senate.

WHY MACRUM RESIGNED.
United States Consul at Pretoria Makes a
Statement.

Statement.
Shortly after the breaking out OF
the South African war, Charles E.
Macrum, the United States consul at
Pretoria, rendered his resignation, and
it will be remembered that Adebert
Hay, a son of the secretary of state,
was Immediately dispatched as his sue
cessor. All along there has been con-
siderable speculation as to the proba-
BILE reason for Macrum's resignation ;
but it was not until last Wednesday,
when the ex.consul issued a signed
statement, that the facts became
known. His statement was as follows :
"The situation in Pretoria was such
that, first, as an official could not re-
main there while my government at
home Was apparently III the dark as to
The exact conditions in South Africa.
Secondly, as a man and citizen Of the
United States, I could not remain in
Pretoria, sacrificing my own self-res'
pect and that of the people of Pretoria
while the government at home contin'
ued to leave me in the position of q
British consul and not an American
consul. I want to say right here that
there was not one single request made
of me through the department Of state
looking to the care of British interests
in Pretoria which I did not fulfill and
report upon according to my orders.
On the other hand, American interests
in South Africa were in that condition
which demanded that the department
of state should be cognizant of them.
~ issued the statement received
from the state department that Amer
leans must remain neutral. In the
face of this, Americans were contin-
ually going to the front and taking up
arms in the cause of the Beers. l
could not help but know that many OF
these were citizens of the United States.
I also knew that many of them in Ut
ter despair at the apparent attitude of
our own government were taking the
oath of allegiance to the Transvaal
republic. When affairs had reached
that state my vice consul, Mr.. Van
Amerigen, closed up his business, took
the oath of allegiance to the republic,
and went to the front as burgher, |
thought the time had come when l
should make report of these condl-
tions."
