August 5th. 1901.
TO the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, State of South Carolina:
Gentlemen: The official notice of the
action of a majority of your committee
on July 25th, was received by me on
August 1st, five days after it had been
announced in the newspapers. Thls
published announcement was the first
notice I had that any action affecting
me was to be taken by your committee.
I am now officially informed that
majority of your committee condemns
my course in the senate, demands my
resignation and undertakes to eXpel
me from the Democratic party. Twen-
ty-one men have attempted to usurp
the powers of the 10000 Democratic
voters of South Carolina. and as an in
cident, in meeting called for another
purpose, have hastily endeavored to DO
what can be done only by solemn pro-
ceedings of impeachment. expressly
provided for in the constitution of the
United States.
Responsible Only to the People.

orders from any source but them. and
shall in due course appeal 10 them for
Judgment on my course as senator,
end my character as Slan and a DEM
ocrat.
Personally l am Indifferent to your
action because nobody has made you
nv master or censor. and 1 regard what
YOU have done as merely expressing
the malice and the fears of one indiTld-
ual, Senator 3. r. Tillman. But for
this always evil and indecent influence.

Action Unfair. Absurd and tndem"-
cratic.
AS Z: citizen and Democrat OF South
Carolina. am mortified by your action.

is to deny that opportunity.

Political AssnSSins.

1t is no cause for wonder that Senator
Tillman should seek to make political
assassins of you to avoid open and fair
fight. He has climbed to power by ven-
omous abuse of many of the purest
men in the state who opposed him, for
which he has always carefully shirked
personal responsibility. and on the po-
litical lives and fortunes of those who
befriended him while he needed friends.
Norris. Tindal and Donaldson, men rep
,esenting earnest purpose and the in
terests of the farmers of the state, and
therefore strong, were used by him to
promote his own interests and then
thrust aside. Irby. Shell and Farley
died despising him because Of his
treachery to them and to the people.
/ am now in his way, and because he
has failed to strike me down he incites
you to attempt to Strangle me. and at
the same time to destroy white pri-
mary. to his advocacy of which he owed
much of the best of his early following.
Party principles are fixed and to the
principles of the Democratic party 1
have been uniformly faithful. Party
policies are determined from time to
time by party elections and conven-
tionS. and no man nor body of men has
the power to say between those cleo
tions. what policies shall be the tests of
party loyalty. Senator Tillman is as
suming the prerogative of supreme boss
and dictator to say who shall or shall
not be regarded as a Democrat next
year | do not concede any such power
to him nor TO you. He, nor all of your
committee together, has the power to
exclude from candidacy nor the polls at
the Democratic primary the humblest
citizen of South Carolina who declares
himself to be Democrat and pledges
himself to support the party nominees

CORN GOES ON DECLINING.

Kansas City has been the center of the
corn crop scare and prices there have
been kept high with sort of Septem-
Der corner On last Wednesday Septem-
Der corn was 6415c IN that market
Thursday the price dropped one cent
and on Friday it lost three cents more,
while on Saturday it closed at 5S14c a
decline of six and quarter cents. The
Chicago market closed at 5515c for the
September option and cash corn was
57l9c for No. yellow while the Deem
Der option broke to 56Ac. The opinion
Is gaining ground in the cash trade
that corn is too high in spite of the
Government report of a condition of
5l.7 per cent, on September ]. The corn
bulls are making frantic efforts TO show
that the crop will be less than half the
normal size, and SOME estimates are be-
ing put out of less than billion bush

WHEELER'S BREAK.

Hon. Chas. Wheeler, member of Con
gress from this District, is reported as
saying in his speech at Maysville that
there is not Republican in Kentucky
who has not given aid and protection to
the assassin of William Goebel. Wheel
er Is brilliant young fellow, and some
times gwen to extreme utterances TO
emphasize his oratory, but we are 10th
to believe that he said anything as ex-
treme as this. There are hundreds of
good and honorable Republicans in Ken
lucky who would be as far from aiding
assassination as any others. Such ex-
IRENE utterances are wrong, untrue.
and calculated TO injure not only the
man who utters them but more unfor-
tunately the party.

The decline in the price of corn as we
near the marketing of che new crop is
not unexpected. In fact it occurs near
ly every season. This time it may be
permanent, but we all know that there
Is an immense shortage in the Ameri-

loom up.
During the past week frost has dam

In the western and central sections of

MAMMOTH TURBINES.
Six New Ones For the Niagara Fall
Power Company.

Six New Ones For the Niagara Falls
Power Company.
A new feature of much interest has
been added to the delights Pan-Ameri-
can crowds will have when they visit
Niagara Falls to view the scenic and
industrial attractions there In that
favored spot there is already developed
more power than is used in many Of
the large cities, but to this developed
force must be added 10000 horsepower
that is To be developed by means of
six new turbines and six new gener-
ators, the contracts for which have
been awarded. These new turbines
are to be installed in the new wheel
pit now in course of construction. The
design of the new turbines will differ
materially from the design of those
now in use in the present wheel pit
This change is significant of the fact
that the Niagara Falls Power com
pany intends that the installation in
its new plant shall be up to the highest
cNdtC VI DciANNtiph hhbN IL III tlilS olcll-
ing year of the century. 1t is this
knowledge that at Niagara the most
modern. the most perfect working pow
er development in the world, may be
seen that will inspire visitors TO the
Exposition to go there and look upon
the wonders that man has wrought.
Each of the six new turbines will
have a capacity of 5000 horsepower,
and each will be connected to and
drive n 5000 horsepower generator.
The turbines now in use were designed
by Picard. Pictet & Co. Of Geneva,
Switzerland, while the new turbines
are TO be built after designs prepared
by fischer. Wyss & Co. of Zurich,
Switzerland, the plans Of which com
pany were accepted in a competition.
The turbines in the old pit each have
two wheels. while the new turbines
are each to have but single wheel.
With these new turbines in place
in the wheel pit, the output capacity
of the Niagara Falls Power company
will be $4,000 horsepower There will
be space in the new pit for five addi-
tional turbines, each of 5000 horse
power capacity, and with these in
place the total output of the two pits
will be 10000 horsepower.
