Widespread Discussion.

unusual discussion in the English

not a little apprehension as to the

that the transfer is connected with
the probable passage by the United

Wants Money Refunded.

An interesting question has been
brought up by the application of the
town of Newberry, backed by the gov
ernor's Endorsement, for refund from
the state board of health of 81, 500 ex-
pended by the town in fighting small
pox. DR.. James Evans, secretary Of
the board of health, will refer the
question to the board at it's next meet
ing. but he is opposed to paying this
claim. The city of Columbia expended
about 5000 in this way and number
Of other towns considerable sums.
They have made no claim. The state
board has fund for fighting such dis
eases, but the contention has always
been that this was for the rural dis
tricts exclusively and that the towns
were expected to take care of them
selves.

Hampton's Friends Indignant.
A Charleston dispatch says: Senator
McLaurin's move in offering General

Pension Money Held Up.

A Columbia special says: The pay
ment of pensions to confederate SOL
diers and widows has been held up
until the supreme court can pass on
the puzzling questions.
The legislature, at its last session,
raised the appropriation from $780,
900 to S150,O00, but the comptroller
general and the treasurer both found
flaws in the act and were unwilling to
pay out the extra $4,000. The comp
troller expressed himself willing to
issue warrants for pensions based on
the 100000 appropriation. The
amounts that have been asked for by
the pension board are all based on the
$150,O00. Here the officials who are
responsible for the money baked and
asked the attorney general to get a ju-
dicial decision. The matter has been
taken before the supreme court and
the points will be presented this
week. All the pension money will be
tied up until a decision is rendered.

Appeals For Protection From Mob.
NJ. Petermap, farmer living near
Monck's Corner, in Berkeley county,
visited Charleston few days ago to
seek aid from Governor McSweeney
against ku-klux band which, he says,
has been making his life miserable.
Peterman's house has been fred on

one hundred bullets punctured the
walls, but none of his family were
wounded. Warnings were sent Peter
man that he would be killed if he did
not leave, and terrified at last he fed.
leaving his property at the mercy of
the mob. Peterman told Governor
McSweeney, who happened to be in
Charleston, that the sheriff of his
county refused him protection. Gov
ernor McSweeney instructed Sheriff
Martin to hunt down the desperadoes.

Senator McLaurin Angry.

senator McLaurln IS 1n0lSnant tnat
his advocacy of General Hampton for
the Columbia postmastership should
have been declared by the local press
to be an effort to buy the old gen.
eral. He said the matter was first
presented to him by a close friend of
General Hampton A. B. Williams, a
cousin of the Seaboard's president and
editor of Richmond paper. He was
assured by Mr.. Williams that the Of
fee would be acceptable to the gen.
eral at this time and that he would not
object to having it come through Nc
Laurin. The tender was made acc ord
ingly.
Senator McLaurin says he has the
written Acknowledgements of General
Hampton for his efforts in keeping him
in the Office of railroad commissioner
after his own term expired. He de-
clared he would not be drawn into a
controversy, saying the papers which
are his opponents are using bush
whacking methods. He promises on
May 22d to make his position clear to
the people of the state.
-.
Bryan On McLaurin.
In statement made at Lincoln Will
liam J. Bryan takes Senator McLaurin
to task for what he declares is his po-
litical flop. At the same time Mr..
BRYAN admits hat Senator McLaurin's
action makes ;, beginning of move
ment in the south which will have all
influence upon the politics of the ma
ton. he says:
''It is not likely that Mr.. McLaurin
will be the leader of the movement,
because he is handicapped by the fact
that he is using his official position to
misrepresent the views and interests
of his constituents, but some leader
will arise to give direction and force
to the aristocracy and plutoeratic ele-
ment for which Mr.. McLaurin speaks.
There is such an element in every
community, and now that the race
question no longer unihies the white
people of the southern states, 1t will
doubtless manifest itself.
"Senator Tillman has already taken
up the gage of battle thrown down by
Senator McLaurin, and will doubtless
be able to marshal considerable ma
jority in the state, but the same infiu-
ences are at work in other states,
where there is greater danger OF their
success.
"The Democratic sentiment Is
strong enough to resist and overcome
the McLaurin movement, but those
who believe that the man is more i'm
portant than the dollar will have tc
bestir themselves.
It seems to have proved that finer
tea can be grown in the United States
| than in the East, but little good will
the news do with the American tea
selling for a dollar pound.

Public Statement Given Out.

A Jacksonville special says: The
body of Harry Bonnethau, real es-
tate delesr, was recovered Monday
from the st. Johns river. Mr.. Bon
nethau's widow and son are supposed
to be in New York city. The bodies
of two negroes we're also recovered.
All are victims of the disastrous fire.
There are many rumors OF further
loss Of life, but owing to the depart
ure of thousands of people from the
city, it will be impossible for several
days to verify the reports unless the
bodies are found.
Mayor Bowden issued request that
all sight.seers remain away from Jack
sonville. It is feared the vast army OF
idle negroes may cause some trouble,
and it is believed that ali those who
will not go to work at 81 day and
rations will be deported.
