JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 4.-The fire

being futile. The river is being search

HAS NO USE FOR M'LAURIN
General Wade Hampton Would Not
Accept the Place.

Accept the Place.
COLUMBIA, S. O.. May 4 4-Senator Nc
Laurin's boldest stroke was made when
he rendered General Wade Hampton
the Columbia postmastership. Senator
McLaurin seems to have the South Gar
olina federal Offices at his disposal, and
Is causing CONSERVATION in the ranks of
the old line Republicans, as we'll as
causing concern to many Democrats.
A close friend of McLaurin called on
General Wade Hampton and asked him
to accept the office, which is soon to be
made firstClass. The general was re-
quested not to mention the matter, and
i5 was only when assured that the fact
the tender having been made was
known that he said when urged for a
statement:
Il would not accept anything in the
world from that source"
Then, after pause, the old general
said, with added emphasis:
1.-The people of South Carolina should
know by this time cannot be bought.
General Hampton is understood to
have no unkindly feeling for the presi-
dent, who, he believes, would have retain
ed him in Office on the railroad commits
sion if he could have consulted his own
wishes, but McLaurin seconded the
nomination of Irby for the generals S
seat in the senate after having declared
he would not follow the reformers to
the extremity of unseating Hampton.
The general remembers that with some
bitterness, and McLaurin now occupies
his seat in the senate.

Patriot Can Get Anything He May

For Sale.
CHARLESTON, May 4-Extraordinary
inducements are being offered to Gen.
eral Wade Hampton, the first Demo
cratic governor of South Carolina after
the negro rulers and Republicans were
driven out IN 1876, to accept a federal
position and become associated with the
white Republican party movement
Senator MoLaurin, who is the moving
spirit in the new party organization,
has made the open boast that he can Sc
cure any Office in the state for General
Hampton if the latter will accept.
While bitterly opposed to everything
that Tillman represents, General Hamp-
ton is equally bitter on McLaurin and
despises and condemns McLaurin' s
movement. His name has been used by
the McLaurin followers to make capital
for the white Republicans, as the win
ming over of Hampton, the greatest
Democrat i'll South Carolina, would
mean big things for the new organiza-
ton.
Friends of General Hampton declare.
however, that he would not touch an

smoke. Many of the finest public and
private buildings were destroyed, in
