Surprised at Editor Sims.

Editors Conrier: In reading TIM
kEowEE COURIER of last week | was
surprised to note the position the
OrangcburG Times and Democrat has
recently taken i'm its ccnsurc of our Sen
ator, John l.. McLaurin, and, being loca-
tod as am, in the capital of our coun-
try, where we can both see and hear the
events of the nations doinGs, it is cx-
cecdingly tircsomc to read extracts from
Il newspaper of the Times and Demo-
Gratis standing in South Carolina jour
nalism, such bclittling paragraph rs it
recently published. We quote the article :
"ScnatOr McI.aurin seems to have a
strong pull with Dollar Mark Hanna,
ami as natural consequence he is in
high favor with President Mckinley,
who is owned body and soul by the great
'hoodlcr." And in conclusion suggests
that 'ho Is Il traitor to his people, and
that the day OF reckoning is coming"
1t is evident that the writer Of the
above has had no experience whatever
in national politics, and he most surely
picthrcS the President Of our great Re-
public as a jack Of the first water. II is
true that Senator McLaurin, rs well the
senior Senator from our State, is on
friendly terms with the President, and
the State at large should congratulate
llScli upon this fact alone. Favors are
often accorded Representatives. Of diner
cnt faith than that Of the administration
amt it is through such friendship rs that
which the Times and Democrat speaks
OF that many a bill and resolution finds
itself made into law.
ne kcprcSI SIntatyCS from our State have
all done their dnty, and no one has been
more Jealous in furthcring the interests
OF his native state than the Junior Scna-
Tor from south Caroiua. Let all such
''buGgy' stories rs the one referred to
ABOVE nc forever erased from intelligent
journalism, AMI instead let us lend an
assisting hand to those who have bv tho
people 8 choico been sent to represent
them. We quite agree with the able
editor of the Carolina Spartan, the
Times and Democrat should take off the
mead OF il$ paper and place in lieu thorc-
of "l'chind the Times and Antocrat."

Prospect of settlement.

CHICAGO, November 11.-There is
every probability that the long stand
ing differences between the board of
trade and the Western Union and Pos
tai Telegraph companies will be settled
tomorrow at a conference to be held
in the offices of President Warren, of
the Board of Trade.
The most important feature of the
stand of the telegraph companies are
the determination not to abandon the
local field to the Cleveland Telegraph
Company and the demand that the
Board of Trade shall designate what
firms should be placed under the head
of bucket shops and shall be prepared
to defend any action that may be
brought if the telegraph companies re-
fuse to transmit quotations to such
houses.

So far as the Filipinos are concerned
no noticeable change in the situation
has ensued, nor is any likely to occur
in the immediate future.
They are for the greater part non
committal. News of the outcome will
slowly work its way through the coun-
try to the armed insurgents, where the
assurance of the leaders that Mr.. Bryan

overcome.
Last weeks scouting resulted in sew
eral minor engagements with what
the official reports describe as small

CUBANS AT SANTIAGO

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November
11.-Col Whiteside received to-day or
ders from the War Department fixing
November 18th as the date for closing
the department of Santiago de Cuba.
This date will be fortnight earlier
than he had expected, and there is con-
siderable uneasiness among the officers,
whom are not certain how the change
will affect them personally. The gener-
al opinion, however, is that there will
be few changes beyond calling Santi-
ago district hereafter instead of de-
partment headquarters.
Gen. Wood is expected to arrive here
next Tuesday. The Cubans severely
criticize the War Departments action.
Thy .have always been jealous Of Ha-
vana; and now they say that the Amer
leans, following Spanish customs, are
robbing Santiago for the benefit of Ha-
vana.

moved surreptitiously, and when the
French ensign was discovered floating
alone over the government building a
crowd of Englishmen gathered to pull It
down. The French Canadians defended
their flag and a hand-to-hand conflict fol-
lowed. The authorities stopped the fight
by pulling down the offending flag The

For the fight.
When the easements wildly rattle
In the wintTy outside battle.
With a dismal, lonely sound,
Through the night.
When each thin white snow-whirl flying
Onward.4whirling lifts,
Like great ghosts; then quickly dying
On the ground in drifts.
There's no spot such welcomes hold,
Safe from bitter. biting cold.
Like the hearth fire as il CLEANS:

Rage-old Winter though the flowers died
There Is summer by the fireside.
For its light Is stolen beams
From the sun.
What entertainments in its leaping.
Then the heart grows glad.
Till the long. black shadows creeping.
Make the bosom sad.

And a sigh.

Now returns from DAYS that persisted
But to vanish. higher-higner-

HUNDREDS OF INDIANS
In Alaska Dying of Starvation Be-
cause Whites Have Killed GANG.

N%s-SN " AfAASS AhssFG AAAiIG0 DHutes
TACOMA, Washn. November 11.-Mrs
James Smith, just returned from Coon
Inlet, Alaska, says that fully half of the
thousand Indians in that section, COM
prising five tribes, are slowly dying of
starvation. The influx of white prospec-
tors has resulted in the killing of much
game, with the result that the Indians are
deprived of flesh for food and fur for
clothing. They dried salmon last summer
but not enough to last through the sea-
son, and winter finds four hundred to six
hundred of them without enough food to
last until December.
Mrs. Smith, who is a wealthy miners
wife, divided her stock of provisions with
the destitute Indians and now appeals for
further aid. Most of these Indians belong
to the Russian church, but it is powerless
to help them. Unless provisions shall be
sent by steamer at once she says hundreds
will surely die. While living at Grays
Harbor eight years ago, Mrs. Smith-then
Mrs. Martha White-swam into the surf
and rescued three shipwrecked sailors
from drowning, for which Congress voted
her a medal
