We confess to not being posted on
such matters, but if Gov. McSwccncy has
the right to refuse to accept the rcsigna-
tions of Senators Tillman and McLaurin,
he should do so. 1t is wrong to plunge
our people into the turmoil and excite
ment of political campaign this year.
4 large majority of the voters don't want
it, and there should be some way to stop
such a piece of foolishnesS

McLaurin and Tillman have set an eN-
ample which should be followed by ali
aspirants for Senatorial honors. Every
man who holds political position should
resign it when he enters the race for the
Senate. For instance, McSweeney should
resign as governor; Latimcr as congress
man Jones as State chairman; Bellinger
as attorney general; Henderson as State
Senator from Aiken county. All these
should give up their present positions II
they run for L. S. Senator.

The Champion Horse Liar.

Frank Ingram, a negro, was tried In
the criminal court at Opelika, Ala, for
horse stealing, says the Admission Hot
Blast. When placed on the stand he told
the following story, in an interesting,
straightforward manner:
He said he was passing the stable
where the horse in question was, and see
ing the open gate he thought he would
shut it. He decided there was no use to
close the gate if there was no stock inside,
so he looked to see. Seeing the horse there,
he started off to fasten the gate, and
stumbled against bride lying on the
-sr,eaneeA: He njek ed it up and discovered
that the horse was following him, and the
bride caught on the horses head, and be-
ing one that closed with snap, it
fastened
Realizing that no one would believe
that the bride would fasten itself, he de-
cided he would fasten the gate, climb the
fence and flee, this he did, and the horse
jumped the eight foot fence and pursued
him. He fled in terror, and the horse ran
him nearly a quarter of mile. Seeing
that the horse was gaining on him, he got
to one side of the road and squatted part
ly down to let the horse pass without
seeing him. The horse ran between his
legs and caught him up on its back and
carried him on. despite his efforts to get
off
When seven or eight miles from the
stable, he says, the horse became conJured,
and told him that he was going to throw
him off, which was done. That was the
last he saw of the horse.
He told the story in dead earnestness,
while the court officers stood with bated
breath and gaping mouth, and listened
with awe at the weird story. The jury,
having no case against the horse for kid
mapping the negro, promptly convicted
the negro for the strange ride.

When McLaurin went back to his
home at Bennettsville, from the Gatfney
meeting, a large crowd of the best citizens
of his home town went down to his house
and called him up out of bed to assure
him of their support in his race against
Tillman. This shows the confidence the
men who have known McLaurin intimate
ly all his life have in him. We have not
heard that Tillman had any welcome
gathering of his people when he got back
home.

McLAURIN AND TILLMAN.

Since the last issue of this paper events
of the sensational kind have transpired
in South Carolina politics. Senators
Tillman and McLaurin have rendered
their designations to the governor, and
there"is to be campaign between them
this fall for the long term in the Senate.
This action was brought about as re-
suit of the speaking at Gaffney last Sat
urday.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-05-30

This means that there will be race
for the q. s. Senate between John L. Nc
Laurin and B. r. Tillman, the campaign
to take place during the months of Octo-
Der and November, unless some action
shah be taken before that time to free US
from the excitement of a useless political
campaign. As it stands now the seats of
both senators will be vacant after Sep
tember. This will necessitate primary
for both places. Tillman and McLaurin
will undoubtedly make the race for the
long term, and there are several candi-
dates already spoken of for the short
term. 1t seems certain now that the can
6idates for the place will be: Latimer,
Willie Jones, Geo. Johnstone, NJ. B. Nc
Sweeney, G. Duncan Bellinger, D. s.
Henderson, and possibly others.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-05-30

Wednesday of last week Senator Nc
Laurin made speech in Greenville, by
appointment and at the invitation of the
most prominent business men of that
city. In that speech he outlined his pol
icy and advanced arguments which are
simply unanswerable. We hope to pub
lish the speech in full in the form of a
supplement, so that our readers can read
it for themselves, therefore We shall not
comment on it here. McLaurin had also
been invited to speak at Gaffney on Sat-
urday and had accepted. This invitation
was also extended by business men. After
this invitation had been extended to Nc
Laurin, Tillman gets himself invited to
speak the same day-thereby in an Off
cious and cheeky manner injecting him
self into a meeting where he was not
wanted and interfered in matter with
which he had nothing to do. Let it be
borne in mind that he was invited by
different committee from that which in
vited Senator McLaurin. However, Nc
Laurin consented to joint debate with
Tillman, as he was not afraid to meet
him, or any other man, in discussion.
The meeting was duly held and McLau-
rim spoke first, making strong, logical
speech on the issues he represents. Till
man followed ripping and ranting around
as usual, making no argument against
the views presented by McLaurin but in
dulging in the harangue of demagogue.
McLaurin replied and poured hot shot
into Tillman. The result of the meeting
was that Immediately after it was over
Tillman sent a proposition to McLaurin
for them both to resign. After some
changes, paper was signed by each of
them and mailed to the governor, tender
ing their designations to take effect Sep
tember 18th.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-05-30

The incident has convinced us of a few
things, however:
1. That the so-called "McLaurin move
ment" is very strong all over the State.
Ben Tillman doesn't fight spooks.
9. That Tillman thinks he is the strong
est man in the State, and the only one
that can beat McLaurin.
5. That the idea of a primary this year
is to prevent as far as possible the dis
semination among the people of the views
held by McLaurin.
4. TiEman sees ahead the downfall of
himself unless he can kill this movement
in its infancy, and that is why he has
thrown himself into the breach.
5. That Tillman and other old-line
politicians believe the only way to defeat
McLaurin is to have the fight on him
made this year, and that they actually
want the extra primary.

State. We have always supported him
heretofore, and our support of him in this
campaign will be no new thing for US.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-05-30

We regret that we are to have cam
paign this year. There is absolutely no
use for it, and it was brought about by
Tillman's egotism in going to Gaffney,
and meddling. He said in his speech
there: "If you elect McLaurin will
take it as notice that you do not Want me"
He made bluff at McLaurin ahsut resign

to fight McLaurin, he should have ten

There was no need for McLaurin to re.
sign, as he has to run again next year
anyway.

LIBERALS IN A BAD WAY.

hell-eannerman's Opportunity.


NEW YORK, June 22.-The CORE
spondent in London Of the Tribune
thinks that Sir Henry CampbeII-Ban-
nerman's position in the present con-
dition Of the Liberal party Is unenvi-
able. but not absolutely impossible.
His retention Of the leadership IS
necessary in order to prevent the
break up Of the Liberal party. Mr..
Asquith and Mr.. Henry Fowler are
further removed from Mr.. Morley, Mr..
Lloyd-George. Mr.. Labouchere and
Mr.. Massingham than they are from
the Tory side. and the recent events
by which factional spirit has been en-
FILTERED make Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman a heayen-sent compromise
leader. The exhibition OF Liberal dis
union occurs when the ministry itself
is convicted Of political incapacity.
The Radical split Is regarded in some
quarters in England as the most acute
crisis known in parliamentary life
since the memorable rupture Of the
Liberal party on the home rule bin.
The collision between the imperialists
and the antI-imperiaIists had long ago
been foreseen. and Il Is believed that
nothing could have averted Il except
the termination Of the var in South
