BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS
ACT
Resolution AS to nll PracticIng without
Llcenses-HOw tho Board
Will Proceed.
The State, 25th inst. !

J.
The Stfte Board Of Medical Tx
amlners has completed the work of
its annual session hore and the NOM
bers have gone to their homes. Be.
fore adjourning, however, the board
considered fully the matter of the
failure of South Carolina Medical
college graduates in this years class
to appear for examination, and acted
according to tho forecast recently
gived. Here is tho text Of tho reso
luton that was unanimously adopted
by the board:
AS tho law relating to tho practice
of medicine in South Carolina is be.
ing frequently ignored and violated,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we appeal to the
legally qualified physicians of tho
State and to it's intelligent citizons to
report all such violations to tho board.
The governor has assured the board
that if any case ID brought to the at.
tention Of a magistrate and that mag
istrate fails to make q thorough 1nvcs
tlgation OF the case he will have such
magistrate removed. Therefore, we
will esteem it a favor to have any
such violations reported to the board,
OF members thereof and the names of
any person furnishing such informa-
ton will not be known to any ono
but the member of the board to whom
the report is made.

the Gaffney meeting certainly was
fully up to the Greonville meeting
Not venom, nor invective, no class
prejudice will tell in the future, but
facts, arguments and oratory must
be the storehouses from which cam
paign leaders must draw.
AS will be seen from the report
published Tillman made it plain that
there would be no ruling McLaurin
! out of the primary. He also made
it plain that he WAS dead against
AlcLaurin and will have to run him
out or back some other candidate.
Senator McLaurin has plenty of
ammunition. He had enough at
Gaffney to stand weeks seige and
it was good hot stuff. If ship sub
sidy, expansion and protection are
not the legitimate heretage of the
Democratic party then history is all
wrong and the voters of South Caro-
lima will know moro of Democratic
history two years from now than
thoy ever dreamed existed.
The Gaffney meeting will bo an
epoch making period IN the politics
Of South Carolina.
WHAT SENATOR M'LAUR1N SAYS.
Gaffney, S. G., May 25.-Senator
Tillman and Senator McLaurin were
seen after the days Incidents wero
over and asked for their views on
the situation.
In reply to request for state
ment from him, as to the double SON
atorial resignation, McLaurin said:
"Tillman made bluff today and I
called. I put him in position whore
ho either had to resign and go into
senatorial race with mo or confess
he was bluffing and was afraid to
risk his political scalp, though will
ing to knife mo in campaign in
which he was not candidate and
had nothing to stake. All dosire is
a free, fair and open. fight with Till
man on the issues upon which we
differ.
II earnestly hope that all others
will keep out Of our race and run for
the other senatorship, $50 that Till
man and | may meet as man to man
and fight it out.
"Ho said he was unwilling to bull
doze mo into joint debate with him
if l was afraid to meet him and
hope he will not show himself afraid
to meet mo IN tho senatorial race. Il
hope he will not get any of his strik-
ers into the race to dodge behind but
will meet mo IN it alone"

bluff at me and did not think I'd call

cere in your prosition wire me in q
letter to Col. Jones requesting him
to call the executive committee and
arrange for the primary or, if you
prefer, let us place our designations
in the hands Of The governor uncon-
ditionally to take effect September
18th.
"I have the honor to be yours re-
spectfully,
John Lowndes McLaurin."
In answer to this Senator TillmRn
made the following amendment:
"Golfney, S. G., May %, 1901.
"His Excellency, Gov. NJ. B. Nc.
Sweeney, Columbia, S. G.
Strive hereby tender our resig-
nations as senators for the State of
South Carolina in the United States
senate to take effect September 18th
next. "Yours respectfully,
"B. r.. Tillman, U. S. S., John l..
McLaurin, U S. S."
This lettor of resignation was &C
copied and signed by Senator Nc
Laurin while he was at the residence
of Col. A. N. Wood, and was signed
in the presence of lawyer j. q. OTIS,
and Major John II. Earle.
The two senators have now re-
signed and South Carolina is now
confronted with tbs election of two
United States senator's.
Few friends of these two distin-
guished mon expected when Tillman
and MoIaurin met in tho quiet little
town of Gaffney that these resigna-
tions would follow.
Many politicians are assembled
here and tho concensus of opinion is
that if "Latimer, Pretender" or as
McLaurin calls him "The Man from
Mexico" desires the job he has got
to come out ana resign also.
The fold is open and it is the ques-
ton over here as TO who is to be in
the field and many former Tillman-
ties are setting way up on the fence
how they will drop, they say, is ac-
| oording to who comes out.
