MIR. Mclaurin spoke Of how he had

that ut times he might have said what
he did not want to say. He tried to

not care. Then Mclaurin took up the
matter Of resignation which is re'a.cl

! his fork and the use Of it. Tillman
kept his mouth shut as he prcmised
to do it would be the first time he had
ever done so,and then he spoke of how
he mixed up In the last gubernatiorinl
| race and how he had got into u mess
! with the preachers. Senator MrLaur. II
| then elaborated the idea cf expansion,
pretty much as at Gleenville, and took
| up the Chinese and eastern que stion.
! He gave graphic picture OF the Chin
csc Situation; how Mckinley got into
the situation aud how it now stood.
i and that the trade In China was Just
! In It's infancy and he could net see why
1f China's business was wOrthle IS Till
man had said this government should
spill blood II necessary to develop and
encourage trade inChina and maintain
the integrity OF CA.nl Mckinley,
whom he sneers at, settled 1t without
the loss Of any blood, He spoke CT tho
expansion sermons Of DR.. j. Walter
Daniel and DR.. Kllgo. Then Mr Me-
IIaurin took up the subsidy proposition
and argued 1t at length. He dealt
with 1t from a local standpoint. He ar
gned that Grcenville had grown to be
the great city that it was through sub
sidy to railroads, cotton mills, oye"a
house, etc, and SO it was in Gallney
and many other places. He gave Hg-
voted to railroads and what they had
done and argued that the ship suhsily
was along the same line. The fact OF
the matter is tho people can't set
along without subsidies if they want
to move ahead. Mel ,aurin finally
urged his right to lis views and that
there was no sense O. reason in coll
stanty string up prejudice and feel
ing as II did no one any good. He went
over the situation and was applaud: n
in concluding.
Senator Tilman asked for five MIMI
tes more which was granted him with
the consent OF McLaurin. Tillman said.
