= The dogs in Central Borneo, it
seems, when wishing to cross q river,
have considerable difficulty in doing
so. owing to the fact that alligators
find them very toothsome morsels.
They, therefore, collect OH the banks
and make a terrific noise by barking
and yelping as loudly as they can. The
alligators are attracted to the spot by
the poise, and the dogs. as soon as they
see that their bait is successful, set off
up the bank atop speed and cross
higher up. A Borneo traveller states
that he has watched this manoeuyre
times without number.

RnIes McLaurln Out of the Party.

COLUMBIA. S. c., July 25.-Tho State
Executive Committee late tonight
adopted ii resolution ruling Senator
McLaurin out of the Democratic party.
The action was totally unexpected.

luton, " hich was unexpectedly offered

which there had been much debate,

preaching election to fill the vacancy

Stokes, of the Seventh District. The
rules proposed in that resolution were
plainly Intended to cover tho Senate
rial election next year. The resolution
follows:
"Whereas, Tho Hon. John l.. Nc.
Laurin, Junior Senator elected to rep
resent the State Of South Carolina IN
the national Congress, has by his atiil-
lations and votes in that body, ignored
the national Democratic platform and
thereby misrepresentedh his State and his
Democratic constituency who elected
him. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense and
conviction of the Democratic State
Executive Committee that Senator
John L. McLaurin, from the standpoint
of honesty and self-respect, should
tender his unqualified resignation i'm
mediately."
The resolution was adopted by vote
of 25 to 8.
The first resolution, while offered to
cover the coming Congressional con-
test, was admittedly intended for the
Senatorial election next summer. Ii
required the candidates to indorse the
national platform and to support party
measures in Congress. Because of the
free silver plank in the platform there
was considerable opposition to this,
and as it appeared that it could not go
through, the one calling for McLau-
rims resignation was offered. It was
opposed chiefly by State Senator Ap-
pelt, of Manning. Senator Tiiiman
appeared as it's advocate, making a
cutting and strong speech in favor of
ruling McLalrin out of the party.

MEETING OF CHOWAN
BAPTIST ASSOCIATION

Rev L. Johnson, corresponding secre-
tary of the Baptist State convention, re-
turned yesterday from Reynoldson, Gates
county. where he went to attend the
Chowan Baptist Association in session
there. The Chowan is the largest asso-
citation in the State, having sixty churches
with something like ten thousand mem
bers The chief matter up for discussion
was the recommendation of President
John C. Scarborough that hereafter, IN
stead of leasing Chowan Baptist Female
College, the trustees run it, employ all
the faculty and conduct it. The recon-
mendation met the official approval or
the association. That college is owned
by the Chowan and West Chowan Asso-
Citations If the West Chowan Assocla-
ton also endorses the recommendation,
the change suggested will be made.
Eight hundred dollars was pledged for
