low population that we bought from

no rights which We are bound to respect.
Congress may govern them as it pleases

The decision makes an end of the Re-

sets up in it's place government with
the same. powers as to colonies and i'm
perialism that inhere in an Empire. The
result of the decision is fraught with

he resigned and gave opportunity for the
with their views. When Senator McLau-
rim determined to vote with the Republi-
cans on the foreign policy, ship subsidies
and protection he ought promptly to have
rendered his resignation and given the
people an opportunity of approving or dis
approving. In this respect the English
system has an advantage over ours In
1890 when the country overwhelmingly
repudiated the Harrison admins tration,
the machinery of government ought from
that date to have been in the control of
the Democratic party. In 1894 when the
country Overwhelmingly repudiated the
Cleveland administration, the machinery
of government ought to have been in con-
troll of the Republican party. Instead
of this being so, both administrations re-
NAMED for more than two years in control
after they knew that the people wanted
them out of office and wanted a new
policy inaugurated.
1t is an anomaly for the same party
to have two men in the United States
Senate, one voting always against the
policy of his party. South Carolina should
send either two Democrats or two Re-
publicans, and while the conflict precipi-
tated will disturb quiet people in South
Carolina, it will clear the political atmos-
phere.
The Charleston News and Courier, re-
ferring to the issues raised by McLau-
rims Republican speeches, says:
These issues will naturally array the
great body Of Democratic voters in this
State against him, because they are DEM
ocratic issues, and either the voters will
preserve their allegiance to the party
with which they have always trained, or
they will go over to the Republican party
in a body, which is too much to expect
even in these record breaking times The
fact that all the Republican newspapers
in the country have applauded McLaurin' S
course in voting consistently for Republi-
can policies, and the fact that he is very
near the Republican Administration
would seem to leave no doubt as to the
quality of his Democracy and the ques-
tion which the voters will have to de-
eide is not whether McLaurin bluffed Till
man or Tillman bluffed McLaurin, but
whether South Carolina shall be repre-
scented by Republican Senators or Demo-
cratic Senators.
'"Tillman was reelected to the Senate
at the last session of the Legislature
for the long term and his offer TO re-
sign his seat shows that he has not
lost faith in the people of the State. 1t
was very bold thing for him to do and
a very safe thing, we believe. 1t is pos
sible that he might be defeated, but,
as things look now, the resignation of Nc
Laurin marks the close of his career as a
political force in this State"

ONE TREE BROUGHT 100000

some tree. He told the owner he would
pay as much as $50 for that tree. This
excited the owner. He did not sell but
sent for experts. The owner got $1,000
for the tree (curled walnut) as it stood.

York and veneered 1-6 to IL inch. The
sales were watched and estimated as best
that could be done and when all was dis
posed Of it turned out that the tree
brought near $50 900. The point is this:
We have no idea as to the value of our

THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR.
SHIP

The resignation of the two South Caro-
lima Senators has precipitated contest in
South Carolina that will not be to the lik-
ing of many Democrats in that Common
wealth. The Columbia State has a three
column editorial, reviewing the situation
that the sensational designations pre-
sents, closing with these words:
las for this newspaper. it confesses it
self wearied of making choice of evils. 1t
was as a choice of evils that it supported
McLaurin for Senator against John Gary
Evans, and it does not regret the selee-
tion it made, for McIaurin was the bet
ter man. 1t supported him because his
election would tend to break the power
of Tillman's bossism, which at that time
was ntolerable; but it did not expect
that McLaurin would undertake to smash
Tilmansm by making the Democracy of
South Carolina an appendange of the Re-
publican party. We want no more such
situations we want to support a man who
is worthy of support for his own sake
and the sake of the principles he holds
and not because of the dement's of his
competitors. This years contest will show
whether we have such material in South
Carolina-material not only good in itself
but politically available.
The State is evidently looking to see
new man of great ability and freedom
from extreme positions enter the contest
and defeat both Tillman and McLaurin.
1t says that if such a man should enter
the race. he would get larger vote than
hot in ha cnann6 npiTO T.
he would get the McLaurin vote and might
thereby defeat Tillman. That is what it
would like to see, but it frankly says
eve do not at this moment know If he
is to be had 1t has no doubt of McLau-
rims defeat, though it believes that Han

be relief to shut off year sooner

diction in encouragement OF McLaurln S

ready impaired the quiet OF the common
wealth by his inauguration OF a series
OF McKinleyite speeches, and his clac-
quers seemed to be determined to keep up
their racket without cessation until the
close of the primary campaign of 1902.
The squelching of McLaurinism year
ahead of time is certainly something to
be thankful for, though we hardly think it
worth an off-year campaign. The great
est relief, of course, will be to the editors
of South Carolina who but recently seemed
doomed to read in Northern papers an
nterminable quantity of rot on the sub
ject OF McLaurin's movement and its
prospects of success From this they
are saved, and on the political tomb

the defeat of Tillman, invinciple as he has
been for ten years in South Carolina pol

shown himself to be an ADLER man than
his supporters supposed and with his
pitchfork has served a good purpose in
the United States Senate. South Caro-
lima has sent more learned men to the
Senate, but in natural ability that makes
its impress Mr. Tillman has come to be
a national figure of influence and i'm
portance. But it is not so much be-
cause of his service in Congress as his
service in South Carolina that he has
made his impress. He has settled three
great problems in South Cardinal
l. The negro question. He carried out
the plan by which a constitutional amend
ment that has not been questioned has
given the Palmetto State freedom from
negro rule, fraud and violence. Senator
George was the pioneer in this work, but
Tillman improved upon the Mississippi
plan.
2. The liquor question. He is the father
of the dispensary system which as it is
carried on in South Carolina has been the
best solution yet found for the whiskey
problem Many good men, who were vio-
lently opposed to Tillman, believe that
the dispensary is the ultimate plan that
will prevail in regulating the traffic
3. The educational question. While he
was Governor there was established at
Clemson College, the home of John c.
Calhoun. a modern A. and M. College,
and the Winthrop College which cor
responds to our State Normal and Indus
trial College. He led in the establish
ment of these two institutions, and put

TRIED TO TAKE HER LIFE
Mamie Delaney Took Morphine Last Night and is in Precarious
 Condition

Mamie Delaney an inmate of a dis. reputable house kept by Callie Scott, or Hall Street. made an intellectual attempt at suicide last night.
 The woman was last seen by her com. panions about o'clock at which houI she retired to her room. At midnight those in the house heard heavy breathing in the room occupied by the girl, and upon opening tie door found her uncon. scious. Physicians were immediately summoned, who found that the woman had taken a large quantity of morphine, and was then in precarious condition Their efforts to revive her. however. were partially successful. and 1t is believed that she will recover.
 It is said that the Delaney woman is a member of a prominent Virginia family She came to Montgomery six months ago from Savannah. Ga
 It is understood that a brother of the wouidbe suicide arrived in the city several days ago for the purpose of persuadine his sister to return with him to Virginia, and 1t is believed this is the reason the girl attempted to take her life.
