Mr.. Bryan on Senator McLa,Irln.

The remarks of Mr.. Bryan on the Nc.
l.aurin movement in South Carolina and
the South, are interesting; but they
would he moro SO if they would go into
a discussion of that Charlotte speech in
stead of resting content with suggestions
about aristocracy and plutocracy. The
South may havo been ar:istocratic at one
time but it is now the most democratic
portion of the Union, and as to being
plntocratic, tho charge is certainly un-
just. Our people arc merely trying to
secure such comforts and pleasures and
convcniences as are to bo had as the re-
suit of honest industry, intelligently
directed. They have no prejudice against
the wealth that is properly acquired, and
we do not think that even Mr.. Bryan can
arouse much feeling among tho more in
telligent of them along this line.
Again, tho last campaign demonstrated
pretty clearly that Mr.. Bryan has but
little sympathy with tho main purpose
of the Southern people to rid themselves
of tho last danger of negro political
domination or Influence. In the last
campaign the Rep leans tried most
persistently to bring the great commonor
out on tho Justice o. the North Carolina
effort to got rid of the negro vote; but at
that time Mr.. Bryan was too shrewd to
allow himself to bo trapped into any OK
preston of opinion on tho subject. Wo
would be glad to know how he stands on
this matter, and then we will know bet
tor how to take him with regard to other
questions of less Importance Yorkvillc

NO NEGROES, SAYS McLAURIN.
Federal offices in South Carolina for Whites
0nly-An Order has Been Issued.

Charleston, May 5.-An order has been
quietly issued to Republican Office
holders in Charleston to got rid of the
negro attendants and clerks. 1t is under
stood that Senator McLaurin, who has
tho oilcc-giving power just at this time,
gave the order, and it will doubtless be
obeyed At tho customhouse and in
Marshal MeltOn's Office negroes arc hold
ing prominent positions, and their pres
ence has not been pleasing to people
who have been forced to do business
Purvs, who was Adjutant General of
South Carolina under tho notorious
Republican rule, is one of the right
hand men in Marshal Mclton's Office and
has been there for years. ITo has been
unpopular, and like other negroes will
have to go. The new party movement
will have no sympathy with tho negro,
and he will not figure in tho organiza.
ton hereafter. For this reason it is
desired to get rid of all tho blacks now
in Office.
At his home in Bcnnettsvillo to-day
Senator McLaurin gave out an interview
in which he declared that it was not his
purpose to drag General Wade Hampton
into the white Republican party move
mcnt by the offer of federal position.
lie says ho was approached by personal
friend of General Hampton who re-
qucstcd him to endorse tho general for
postmaster at Columbia. The friend
thought General Hampton would appro-
ciatc the favor at this time, and Mr..
McLanrin says he promised his support
should a vacancy occur. Senator Nc
Laurn declared that his act was not n
political move, but was prompted by
sympathy and a high regard for the
welfare of tho old soldier.

MIR. Grady Ballenger has fine field Of
wheat on the public road leading to
Seneca. He is hustling young man
and manages his fathers farm much bet
ter than great many older mon do

Mr.. J. J. Bailcngor returned from Ian

brought these mules to his son to work
on tho farm.
Rev. Joseph T. Dendy and wife, Of

Miss Kate. daughter of Mr.. l.. D.
Stribling, of McRae, Ga, is visiting her
aunt, Mrs. II. B. Wyly, and was out at
church Sunday, to the delight of her
many friends.
Mrs. Lou Neville is on her annual visit
to her relatives at this place. Though
almost helpless, she wears the same
bright face that made her so lovablo in
her younger days. Surely she carries as
much sunshine in her soul as any woman
living, and no one can como in contact
with her without feeling it.
Mrs. Virginia Burns Brown, of Hart
we'll, Ga, visited her grandmother, Mrs.
+. f. lughs, and other relatives hero a
few days ago.
Col Gus Shanklin and Charles Ballcn-
ger, of Clemson College, were with

ther kiln to-day week. Richland has
started on a boom. Ono largo brick

The young people had dance ut the
academy hall last Friday evening. We

Mr.. Thompson Mcdonald lost his thir-
teen-y -year-old baby daughter Sunday was
q week ago. Bessie was lost in tho
neighborhood of Poplar Springs church,
and Mr.. Lem Powell found her, but ro-
fuses to give her up. We suppose. the
law would have compelled him to do so
had not Rev. j. M. Sanders como to his
relief and mado it legal for him to keep
her.
Mcssrs. Editors, tho bloom of tYouth"
has faded from our brow and we are
getting old and gray-headcd. The young
gentlemen no longer call to SEQ us, but
wish to SEQ Miss Polly Ann, and, when
wc modestly inquired of our wife why
she permitted young men to call Polly
Ann Miss, and not only this, but call on
her, she politely informed mo the child
was in her twentieth year. And not
only that, but we have son in his

jAcKsonvILLE's CALAMITY.
Ono Hundred and Forty Eight Squares Destroyed
by Fire Last Friday.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 4.-Jackson-
yille's great fire, which begun yesterday.
has burned itself out. One hundred and
forty eight blocks of beautiful city
have been laid waste. The loss will not
be known even approximately for a
week, but 1t Is believed it will amount
to about ten million dollars.
There are many rumors afloat Of loss
of life, but rs every undertaken in the
city was burned out it is impossible to
obtain an official report. One story.
which is persistently reiterated, is to the
effect that party of mon and women
drivon to tho docks by the fire were COM
pelled to jump into the water, and that
several of thom were drowned.
negro woman, named Hogan, was
burned in hor house and her charred
remains were buried by friends this
afternoon. The burned district is thir-
teen blocks wide and two miles long,
and extends from the st. Johns river,
whore it burned ten docks to tho water 8
edge, to Catherine street on tho east,
Orange on tho north and Davis to the
west; this immense area was swept as
clear as floor.
Tho city is under martial law and all
of tho available State militia is on duty
in tho streets of Jacksonville. Some
order is being brought out of the con-
fusion Jacksonville is facing tho emor-
gcncy calmly and has organized for
relief work.
TEN THOUSAND HOMELESS PEOPLE.
Ten thousand people are homeless,
and many of them left on afternoon and

Augustine over 1000 people, who hope
to receive temporary shelter from tie
Government.
A committee was appointed at meet

| Governors of various States to send all
tents they can spare to Jacksonville. 1t
will DO weeks before anything like per-
mancnt shelter can be provided for the
homeless thousands, and Jacksonville

Tho relief fund raised by tho citizens
of Jacksonville at q meeting this after
noon amounts to $4,000 This was
augmented tonight by telegram from
the Armour Company, at Chicago,
instructing Mayor Bowdon to draw foi
$1,000. Other subscriptions are boine
received from many places. The city OF
Jacksonville has not yet made an official
appeal for aid. There seems to bo some
objection to this, but it is based mainly
on tho assertion by many leading citizens
that Jacksonville and Florida can meet
the emergency and care for it's own.

Monument to Henry Timrod.

The monument tc Henry Timrod was
unveiled in Charleston last Wednesday
afternoon before largo assemblage. It
consists of a bronze bust in heroic size,
and panels by Valentine, of Virginia, on
a granite pedestal and base, and is a
notable triumph of the sculptor's art.
The fund was raised by the sale of an
edition of 1000 copies of Timrod' s
poems, prepared and sold by the Timrod
Memorial Association, of which Hon. w.
A. Courtcnay, an old friend of the poet,
was the organizer and leading spirit
The main features of tho ceremonies
were scholarly address by Prof Thos.
Della Tore on "South Cardinals Debt
to Henry Timrod," and spirited origi.
nal poem recitcd by Henry Austin, of
New York.
Capt Courtcnay and the monument, edi-
torally says:
"In Charleston the unveiling of the
bronze bust Of the poet Timrod marked
ono more thing that William A. Courte-
nay has done for letters and history in
this State. No man in our day and gen
Grafton has shown a deeper, sncerer and
truer love for South Carolina than "tho
Mayor" as wo still like to call him. He
has helped with every means in his
reach to keep alive the history of tho
State, has by his own high character and
attainments made himself a part Of
South Carolina's history, and above all
has accomplished all that he has cndeav-
ored modcstly and in manner to make
him an inspiration and model to the
rising generation. Timrod died almost
unrccognized and under severe stress of
circumstances. 1t was the hand of our
old Charleston Mayor who directed the
placing of the bronze bust to his memory
in the city Of his birth.''
