The Orangeburg Times and Demo
crat severely censures Senator McLau'
rim because "he seems 10 have strong
pull with Dollar Mark Hanna, and as
a natural consequence, he is in high
favor with President Mckinley, who
is owned body and soul by the great
boodler." The Democrat is also sore,
ly grieved because Rev. A. j. S. Thom,
as, editor of The Baptist Courier, re-
ceived the appointment of census su'
pervisor for this district. His only
objection to Mr.. Thomas was that
Senator McLauriu favored his appoint.
ment. The editor thus closes: "He
is traitor to his people who honored
him with seat in the United States
senate. But the day of reckoning is
coming"
Such unwarranted statements as the
above tend to make disloyal citizens
The teaching Of such doctrines give
rise to more lawlessuess and riots IN
our state than all other causes combln-
ed. Because Senator McLaurin is
friendly with the administration and is
on speaking terms with leading Repub'
licans, he is branded a traitor. If be Is
traitor, so are Tillman, Congressman
Wilson, Congressman Stokes and the
whole crowd. We like Congressman
Stokes because he has strong pull in
the postotfice department; we like Con
gresham Wilson because he "stands
in with Uncle Sam" and generally
secures from a Republican administra-
ton what be wants for bis district.
Senator 1illman has grown much wiser
and broader since he has associated in
a most friendly way with leading Re
publican senators and heads OF de
partments. They are to be commend
ed for their policy and conduct which
are altogether honorable. What they
do in their way for their constituents,
Senator McLaurin does in his way
We suggest to the editor who penned
that article to take off the head of bis
paper and call it "Behind The Times

What Was Done at the Annual Meeting
Last Week.
The annual convention of the Ma.
tional Farmers Alliance Was held in
Columbia a few days ago. The at.
tendance was small and the proceed
ings in detail were devoid of general
interest. Mr.. J. C. Wilborn was re-
elected president. In his annual ad.
dress he suggested that the following
demands be urged upon congress:
1st. Free delivery of mail in the
rural districts, and that the service be
placed on the same permanent footing
as the delivery of mail in the cities,
and that the appropriation therefor be
commensurate with the benefits and
demands for the service.
I'd. Providing for postal savings
banks.
Sd. Submit an amendment to the
constitution providing for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
4th. Enacsing pure food laws.
5th. Providing for the extension OF
the markets for farm products, max
ing it the duty of United States con-
suls to aid in the extension of markets
for farm products as for manufactured
articles.
9Th. The enactment of an antitrust
law, clearly defining what acts on the
part of any corporation would be
against public policy.
7th. The speedy construction of the
Nicaragua canal by the United States.

We want THE ENQUIRER to 60 as a
visitor to every home
in York county. With the assistance of
intelligent and trustworthy friends in the
different localities, we know it can be
gotten into many homes to which it is not
now going. This assistance is OF much
value to us, and it is our purpose TO pay
for it most literally, in proportion to the
service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of certain subscriber
last year, is no reason why he should
nave any claim upon that subscriber this
year. Because one individual may al
ready be at work in a given neighbor,,
hood, is no reason why another should
not also canvass in that neighbOrh0od.
Every clubmaker is entitled to get sub
scribers whenever and wherever he or
she may be able to get them, and upon
compliance with the conditions herein
stated, have them counted.

THIRTY THOUSAND VICTIMS IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
(By Telegraph To Virglnian- Pilot.)


(By Telegraph to virglnian- Pilot)
Washington. Dec. 26.--An appended
report to General MacArthur's review
of the civil affairs OF the Philippines
for the past fiscal year. gives some
rather startling facts regarding the in
PRODUCTION and prevalence of ieprosy In
the islands.
According to the statements of the
franciscan fathers, says Major Guy L..
Eide, the writer Of the report there are
no less than $4,000 lepers In the archi-
pelago, the major portion of these be-
Ing in the Viscayas.
HOW INTRODUCED.
Leprosy was introduced in 1893 when
the Emperor OF Japan sent a ship with
$50 lepers on board to the Philippines
as a present to be cared for by the
Catholic priests. Thus the seed was
planted, and as no practical methods
were ever adopted to eradicate the dis
ease, or prevent it's spread, it has taken
nrm root. and spread into it's present
formidable phase.
SEARCH FOR THE VICTIMS.
"A house-to-h house inspection inaugu-
rated last January found more than
hundred lepers concealed In dwell
inss. These were sent to San Lazaro
hospital in Manila, but many others
escaped into the surrounding country.
"A commission is now engaged in the
work of selecting suitable island, or
islands for the purpose of isolating all
the iepers in the archipelago.

THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY.
REVIEW OF MILL CONSTRUCTION
FOR PAST YEAR.

FOR PAST YEAR.
G3y Telegraph TO Virginlan- Pilot.)
Boston. Mass, Dec. 26.-The Ameri-
can Wool and Cotton Reporter, in its
issue tomorrow. Will review the textile
mill construction in the present year,
saying that returns for the last six
months do not show up as large as in
the first six months OF the year. The
depression that was felt in the manu-
featuring business during the summer
and fall months acted as n damper to
the rush to build mills. particularly
cotton mills. that WAS noticed the first
half of the year when all records in
mill building were broken. During the
first half of the year the number OF
new mills entered upon was 307 and
during the last six months the number
was pa. loss of over rs per cent. over
the first half.
OF the 224 mills projected 144 are de-
voted to the manufacture of cotton, IA
TO WOODEN. 81 to knit goods. 16 to mis-
cellaneous purposes, such as silk and
linen manufacturing and for bleaching
and dyeing. During the year 531 mills
have passed under the review of the
Reporter, an increase OF 269 over the 299
recorded for the year 1898. This, shows
the fact that the United States is be-
cN'N''iS wy 'hi SSSb PlOOuNCL I'll lCAliiS
fabrics in the world.
Very noticeable is the great Increase
In the number of mills making finer
goods. and especially in cotton manu-
featuring business partially caused by
the situation in China cutting out the
demand from that country.
The number of knitting mills con-
structed during the past six months
is the largest on record. Nearly all
OF these mills are devoted to cotton
hosiery and underwear.
Compilation of returns on new enter
prises show that Georgia leads with 43
mills, North Carolina comes second
with Al, although the latter has always
been in the lead In the construction of
new mills. 1t being the largest cotton
manufacturing State in the South
