A CLOAK WANTED.

No one can believe that Senator
McLaurin and his coterie were all
such depraved fools as to imagine that
they could purchase Gen. Hampton's s
political support with the appointment
of postmaster at Columbia, but we do
believe that they hoped to succeed in
inducing him to accept the appoint
ment on the specious, covert, sneak
ing plea that those who rendered it,
acting for Mckinley, :" loved, honored,
revered, respected, etc. him and that
it would not mean OF imply anything
political. They knew full we'll that if
they could induce Gen. Hampton to
accept an appointment from McKin-
ley, through the agency of Senator
McLaurin, no matter what representa-
tions they should make to him to OBJ
tain his acceptance, the task Of secur-
ing converts to republicanism and Office
holding would be comparatively easy.
The acceptance of local appointive
Office from Republican president at
this time, when it is of common report
that such are being used to purchase
political support to the end that Re
publican party may be built up in the
South, would have served as cloak
and an excuse for many weak vessels
who look longingly toward the flesh
pots and would gladly, with half an
excuse, sever old ties and go over to
the powers that be for consideration.
No better excuse could have been de-
sired than to be able to say that Gen.
Wade Hampton had accepted an Office
on the recommendation of Senator
McLaurin, and this Senator McLau-
rim and his political advisors were
quick TO realize, hence the careful
plan and the cautious carrying out of
the scheme to entangle Gen. Hampton.
But sturdy honesty and high-minded
devotion to principle were superior to
sthe best laid plans Of political scheners
and Gen. Hampton with word brush
ed aside the sophIstgy and hypocrisy
in which the tender was enwrapped
and laid bare the repulsive plot IN all
its hideousness. He was not to be de-
ceived, nor Hoodwinked, and he could
not be deceived into serving as false
leader of the people who trust him. re
spect him and sincerely honor him a:
much for what he is as man an6
gentleman as for what he has done IL

peace.

Columbia, S. c., May IA, 1901.
During the week ending Monday,
May 13, the temperature was lower
than during the previous week, but
averaged slightly above the normal.
The maximum for the week was 81
degrees at Allendale and Blackville
on the 9Th and 7th, respectively, and
the minimum was so degrees at Green
vile on the 11th.
Beginning on the 9Th and contfnu-
ing to the close of the week, there
were numerous light showers over the
entire State, ranging from mere
trace to over an inch of rainfall, but
nowhere was there enough rain for the
needs of crops that in places are suf-
fering for want of moisture. The
ground is hard and cloddy in places,
and in sections there rs not enough
moisture to germinate recently plant
ed seeds. The drought is especially
severe IN Charleston County, where
truck yields have been materially
diminished. Hail fell at many points,
but only IN portions of Bamberg and
BarnwelT counties to all injurious
extent, and there in places cotton and
melons were totally destroyed and will
have to be- -eplanted.
Cotton planting and re9lanting is
finished, and most of the replanted IS
coming UP to good stands. The first
paintings, where not replanted, has
poor stands but some of it continues
to come UP. Cut worms injured
stands in Marlboro County. Chop

over the eastern counties. A general
Improvement IN the condition of cot
ton is noted.
Corn has improved in color, although
stands are still unsatisfactory. The
plants are rrnssasonably small, but re-
Gently have begun to grow Cultlva-
ton is now general, and about all has
been planted, except on bottoms where
the work is underway. Replanting
continues in places.
Tobacco traasplanting is; practically
finished, and the young plants are
growing nicely, Rice has,come up to
good stands, and lands. where dry
enough, are being prepared for June
paintings. Melons have poor stands,
i'm sections where the crop is raised on
a large commercial scale, but late
paintings are coming up better. Cane
IS also in an unsatisfactory condition.
Wheat continues to looa we'll and is
fully headed, but oats have deterlo-
rated. have short straw, and are suffer
inc for rain. Colorado beetles are
numerous on white potatoes IN the
southeastern counties potatoes are be-

counties the fruit prospects continue
promising. All crops are from two TO
