Questions for Col. Jones.

A friend in writing to the Press and Ban
ner asks these questions of Col. Willie Jones ::
How can Willie Jones explain voting in the
executive committee for q resolution calling
on McLaurin TO resign, when, after McLaurin
resigned, subsequent to the Gaffney meeting,
he advised the Governor TO refuse to accept
the resignation?
Was It not in bad taste for him to vote on
q resolution against the man be will have to
defeat II he gets 10 the Senate?
or course 1t is not expected that this news
paper could answer either Of these questions.
1t must have been, however, from a change Of
heart. 1t Is hardly probable that he voted for
the resolutions at Tillman's demand. We
believe that there are men who will 80 COM
pletely subordinate their own opinions to
those Of Tillman, that they will obey any
order or command, or requisition he may
make. but he certainly does not exercise such
power over any man OF Col. Joness ability
and Intelligence. Col. Jones's intelligence
qualities him for q leader, and he could not
therefore be blind follower.
The second question as to Col. Jones voting
against the man he had 10 defeat If he gets to
the Senate, seems to place the Colonel in as
bad q light as Tillman has placed himself be-
fore the people. Senator Tillman seems to
think that he Is the Democratic party and
that adouble duty has been imposed upon him,
namely: To represent the State In the United
States Senate, and to name and elect a success
sor to MoLaurin.
We just cannot explain Col. Jones vote
against his competitor, unless 1t be that he
has Withdrawn from the race. We can hardly
think that he is a candidate for United States
Senator after voting ss he did.

McLaurin Newspaper Fully as Fair
AS the Tillman Newspapers.

The Greenville Noun taineer remarks upon
the fact that the McLaurin papers have not
copied what General Hampton said Of Nc.
Laurin. Speaking for this newspaper, we
have attached no importance to his utterance.
No man who ever held public position has
ever made more bIunders in his speeches, or
has been more often misquoted. We do not
know II he has been properly quoted this
time five are not in error, General Hamp.
ton made some interesting remarks about
Tillman some ten years ago. We do not recol.
lect to having seen any OF the Tillman papers
lately reproducing his remarks about Till
man.
This newspaper believes 1t unjust and cruel
to thrust General Hampton's name before
the public as q partizan. Everybody respects
General Hampton for his services In rs, and
now when he is old he should not be the sub.
ject of partizan criticism.
He has been retired to privata life. and
should be allowed to live in peace snd in the
enjoyment OF the goodwill OF all the people Of
whatever shade of political belief
We notice, too, that the Tlllman newspa-
pers have not been falling over each other
to publish the comments Of Alabama's dis
tinguished Senator as to >McLaurin. The
McLaurin newspapers will be found to be
fully as fair as the Tlllman newspapers.
While on this subject, we shall take great
pleasure in noting the action Of the Tillman
papers in copying McLaurin's reply to the
Executive Committee.

Our people will be very sorry TO hear OF the
extreme illness OF Mrs. Mamie Lawson LinR,

Encouraged to hope for happy termination
of her illness. But for several days laleIy
last Monday MIR. Link was summoned by
telegraph to her bedside.
Mrs Link is one OF the best. and one OF the
cheeriest an we'll as one OF the most uselul
women OF the city. In her life.work, she has
been entirely unseltlsh, and her untlring
energy has made her a most useful mem per
of society, She has been ever ready, Wild
cheerful speech to spread sunshine Wnere
gloom existed, and with generous hand she
AS worker for the church she was tlreless,
and her refined taste made her one TO whom
ali looked as a leader and az guide In every.
thing that pertained to the beautiful and the
AS member OF the Long Cane Society she
was always foremost In good gifts and good
works. Her devotion TO the care and adorn-
ment of Goods acre. WAS excelled by no one
in all this section OF the country. Her now.
ers and her good deeds shed g. fragrance and
a light even on the paths that lead to the
grave. "
AS lover OF flowers, her taste and her judg-
ment of the prettiest work Of Nature was uner.
ring. In her love OF flowers she exemplified
the life and character OF our Saviour who
likened himself TO the rose OF Sharon and the
lily Of the valley.
