PEOPLE OF different countries are
actuated by different motives and the
old saying that it takes all kinds OF peo'
pie to make a world Is daily verified.
In Cumberland. Nd, last week the
people OF that city rejected PROPOSE
tion made by Mr.. Carnegie for public
library on the ground that their taxes
would be increased 10 order to main
tain 1t. In London on Saturday the
Beview of the Week, commenting on
Mr.. Carnegie's munifcence to Scot
lands universities, said:
I'VE trust in Scottish pride 10 rise in Its
wrath against this invasion Of the almighty
dollar. Imagine the Duke of Hamilton,
Cameron Of Lichiel or Macdonald Of the
Isles allowing bis heir to get an education at
the cost OF an American ironmonger. We
shall next hear OF some Chicago porkpacker
proposing to buy mp Oxford and Cambridge
and debating terms Of admission"
So it will be seen that fear of high
taxes and pride, sentiments as opposite
as the poles, may beget the same spirit.
The Dukes of Scotland, the Lords OF
the Isles and the chiefs OF Highland
clans proudly boast that they take
gifts from no man-pessant or mil
lionsire. The Cumberlanders are more
practical and less sentimental.

The meeting at Gafiney was arranged
for McLaurin by come of his friends
and others who wished to hear his
views on national questions. Senator
Tilluan was later invited by the county
executive committee to speak. In bis
speech Senator Tillman said II Nc
Laurin was democrat, he was not, and
the only decent thing for McLsurin to
do when he could not stand on the
platform on which he was elected, was
to resign. He said McLaurin had
stolen the sermon OF Rev. DR.. Van
Dyke, OF New York, and attacked Nc
Lsurin's political record ever since he
had been 10 the Senate. McLaurin
came back at Tillmsn and said Tillman
had accused him OF stealing q sermon;
II there was truth In the many charges
floating around South Carolina, Till.

things. Tillman was a nilly, but be
mad sized him up years ago and knew
how to meet him. McLaurin asked:
"Why does not Tillman offer to resign
If Pm electedp He says If Pm elected
the people will repudiate him. No;
you'll not find Benjamin rsslgnipg. He
is not that sort"
Tillmsn, who was sitting near, sprang
up and said: "I'll resign right now, II
you will, aud we'll go before the people
together"
Senator McLaurin said he was will
ing.
Tillman-"Draw up the papers and
We will resign right now"
Agreed" shouted McLaurin.
The Senators almost Immediately re-
tired from the stand and after some

mentioned above, their resignation to
take effect September Is.
Under the election methods in that

fenced several years ago
The remaining companies of the regi-
ment will leave the Armory Saturday

tect Robbery Excused.

Besides the trial of Patrolman Nevin
and Chanceman Valentine, but little busi-
ness occupied the Police Board last night

cinct, was charged with neglect of duty in
falling to discover a burglary which had
been committed in the home of Robert h
Wobcke. at No. 92 Clifford place. on the
right of July 10. Some one entered the
house about 10 o'clock and stole about sl5o
worth of silver.
Duffy went on the post at midnight and
failed to discover that an entrance hao
been effected through rear window and
that a rear door was open. Captain Nc
Kaig therefore made charges against
him.
Duffy showed that the light in the vicin-
ity was not sufficiently strong for him to
see that a hole had been bored in the
top of the easement of the window, and
Mr. Wobcke explained that in order to
see the window and door it would be nee
essary for the officer to get up on,
porch The Board found Duffy not guilty
and dismissed the case.
Charges of selling his warrant without
permission We're preferred against j. H.
Palmer a patrolman, but as doctor $
certificate was shown stating that Pal
mer was sick in bed the case was laid
over.
Patrolman John Mcclure and Sergeant
Michael Walsh were granted ten and fif-
teen days leave respectively in addition
to their regular vacation terms.
