McLAURlN'S LATEST MOVE.
Rumor Has It that He Will ! axe UP
His Residence In Washington.

Rumor Has It that He Will ! axe UP
His Residence In Washington.
Information has reached Columbia,
S. c., from an authoritative source that
Senator McLaurin has formed a law
partnership with Messrs. Frank l..
and ]. G. Welles and Claude Bennett
of Washington, D. C.
This news is looked on in Columbia
as confirming rumors previously circu-
lated to the effect that Senator Nc
Laurin would take up his permanent
residence in that city. 1t is expected
that his family will shortly move to
the capital, although no direct intma-
ton to this effect has been received.
Politicians in Columbia and those
we'll acquainted with McLaurin believe
that this move means the practical
abandonment by him Of his political
career in South Carolina. Following
the dramatic scenes Of the last few
days in the United States senate, the
news has unusual significance. Inter
est throughout the state has been ex-
cited by this new development In the
senatorial controversy, and McLaurin's
refusal to be drawn into a second ere
Notwithstanding duel" is given a
fresh Interpretation from the news Of
the formation Of the law partnership.

B0ERS SLAUGHTER NATIVES.
Lord Kitchener, In report, Prefers So
rious Charges Against the
Struggling Burghers.

Lord Kitchener's promised state
ment specifying thirty-seven separate
instances in which natives have been
shot by Beers, and which involves the
loss of eighty-four lives, was isued by
the war Office in LYondon Wednesday
night.
In some of the cases mentioned the
blacks were shot after an informal
court-martial or upon being accused
of spying, but in numerous instances
Lord Kitchener indicates the natives
were shot in cold blood in order to hide
traces Of the movements of Boer COM
panies.
The period covered by Lord Kitchen
er's statement is over year.
A correspondent of The London
Standard, telegraphing from Brussels,
says that he hears that confidential ne
gotiations are imminent between Great
Britain and Holland, which are not un-
likely to result in an arrangement 1or
bringing Boer women and children to
Holland.
Lord kitchener, in a dispatch from
Standerton, Transvaal colony, dated

General Bruce Hamilton, after night

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE ENDS.
Electric Clock Proves an Enigma In
Observance of Oid-Time Custom.
Songs Were In Order.

The general assembly Of Georgia OF
1sO0-19O1 finally ceased to do business
at the state capitol in Atlanta Friday
night at 11:30 o'clock.
The usual closing scenes were en-
acted, and, when both branches OF the
legislature adjourned sine die, men
who had opposed each other upon the
floor in spirited debates during the
past two years clasped hands, at the
same time expressing regret that the
hour of parting had arrived.
In many respects the general assem-
bly, which thus passed into history was
somewhat a remarkable body of men.
During the past session some OF the
most important measures ever consid'
cred by any legislature were acted
upon.
While the clock ticked eff the MIA
utes of the closing hours of the session
a general love feast was held. The
president of the senate, speaker OF the
house and other prominent members
of both houses were remembered by
their appreciative colleagues in man
ner we'll calculated to warm the
cookies of their hearts" Handsome
gifts were presented and words OF
highest praise were bestowed upon
those who had worked hard during the
past two years as representatives OF
the people in the legislative halls.
The time-honored custom of turning
back the hands of the clocks was out
lawed this year because Of the fact
that electric timepieces were installed
in both branches Of the legislature and
there was no way of throttling them.
True, the faces of these clocks were
covered with papers, just for safety's
sake, but the precautio1 came to
naught, as adjournment was taken
fully half an hour before midnight.
After adjournment had been declar-
ed in the house many of the members
appeared reluctant to leave. Some OF
the representatives who wereknown to
possess good voices were called upon
for songs, and for half an hour the hall
rang with the melody of God Be With
You Till We Meet Again" "My Old
Kentucky Home" Home, Sweet
Home" and other tuneful airs. Mr..
Park, of Troup, who possessed splen'
did tenor voice, was prevailed upon to
lead the singing, while all the others
joined in the choruses with vim.
