The McLaurins at Greenvtlle.

Greenville News, Sunday: Since the
action of the Democratic executive
committee, Senator McLaurin has been
asked by representatives of newspapers
for an expression Of his views concern
ing the action of the committee. SEN
ator McLaurin and family left Ben
nettsville on account OF a NUMBER OF
cases of typhoid fever In that town
One of his daughters was sick before
leaving. Bennettsville, and since coming
to Greenyille the sickness has develop
ed into typhoid fever. Mrs. McLaurin
and the sick child are at the home or
DR.. A. ]. S. Thomas. a relative or MRS.
McLaurin. Mr.. McLaurin and his 9TH
er children are on Paris mountain
The senator comes to the city every
day to be with his wife and child. His
entire time and thought are given to
his suffering daughter and he ignores
political matters, declining to discuss
political conditions even with his most
intimate friends. Consequently he can
not give out any matter for publica-
ton.
After Texas Oil.
Columbia special to the Greenville
News: It Is reported in the city that a
party is being formed here to go TO
Beaumont, Texas. and look over the oil
field to see if there may not oe a
chance to make a little investment. II
could not be learned who will consti-
tute the party, though several. gentle
men. who have friends in the oil re-
zion. have been in correspondence with
them. 1t is hardly likely that Senator
Tillman is getting up the party Tor ne
has already invested some of his mon
ey in oil fields and it is said that his
investment is paying handsomely. he
would hardly put anybody else on a
good thing as long as he could make
something out Of it for himself. hence
the report that he will head the party
should it go is quite improbable.

ine's issue of the Greenville Daily

Knows No BOss.
News and Courier, Saturday: Mr.. N.
3. Dial, of Laurens. who was mem
committee which had the exciting
meeting in Columbia Thursday night,
was in Charleston yesterday. He came
here on private business. Mr.. Dial was
one Of the five members of the COM
mittee who voted against the resolution
asking Senator McLaurin to resign.
and he said he did this because he
failed to see how such resolution
could do any good. He did not think
Senator McLaurin would notice the
resolution and he believed it was SIM
ply bullying scheme headed by sena-
tor Tillman. Mr.. Dial said the resolu-
ton had been prepared before the
meeting of the committee. and from the
way Senator Tillman talked 1t was evil
dent that Tillman was only desirous OF
having McLaurin out of the party anu
out of the way.
