Elevators in churches could be used
for two purposes: First. to increase the
value of Il gallery. Where a church has
a gallery this is generally the neglected
and unpopular part An elevator might
easily raise pew rents sufficiently to
make it a very profitable investment.

The Contest Deepens.

At last the great fight for the free
dom of political thought in South Car
olina is on, and it is exactly along the
lines that have been anticipated by
those who have been watching devel-
opments since the day John L. McLau-
rim defied the party bosses in behalf of
his constituents and the best interests
of the United States, and voted for the
ratification of the treaty Of peace with
Spain.
The peace treaty, it will be remem-
bered, was made party question by
the leaders Of the Democratic party,
not on the ground of patriotic service
to the American people, but purely for
the purpose of obstructing the plans Of
the Republican party. There being no
immediate danger in sight, Senator
McLaurin had, for the sake Of har-
mony, Joined in the move; but sudden
ly there developed a new war that
threatened disastrous complications,
and the junior senator, moved by a
high sense of duty, asserted his inde-
pendence Of his fellow partizans and

THE APPOINTMENT OFF.

Senator John l.. McLaurin is not to
be in Yorkville next Monday in ac-
cordance with the original announce
ment, and the meeting appointed for
that time may be considered off.
So far as THE ENQUIRER knows there
has been no direct communication from
the senator on account Of the appoint
ment since he left Gaffney, and in the
absence Of further advice what he said
then Is to be taken as governing the
appointment.
Although the developments at Gaff-
ney would not necessarily interfere
with an appointment like this, it Is rea-
sonable to assume that on account Of
the new and remarkable situation there
brought about, the plans of Senator
McLaurin have been considerably
changed; but that he will soon appear
before the voters Of York county, either
in joint debate, or in a calm, dispas-
sionate discussion of the vital issues
he represents, it Is to be taken as a
matter OF course.
The anxiety Of the senator, however.
to talk to the people Is very great. He
has no particular desire to discuss per-
sonalities and will not do so unless
forced by his opponent. 1T makes no
difference what I think Of Senator Till
man or what he thinks Of me-" he
claims; "but the question which con-
Germs the people is, which one Of us
represents issues that promise the
greatest advancement Of the public

.. ..cLaurin Mt Home.

The following Bennettsville special
to the Charlotte Observer, tells Of the
reception of Senator McLaurin after
his arrival from Gaffney: Two hum
dred and fifty of the citizens Of Ben
nettsville, Senator McLaurin's home,
marched to the senator's residence,
called him from his bed, and the object
Of the visit was announced by T. w.
Boucher, ESQ.,, in a beautiful speech.
The senator stood on his front porch
and in pathetic and patriotic strains Of
eloquence spoke of his unbounded ap-
probation Of this evidence Of the en-
dorsement Of his home people. The
senator said that he was in the fight
to stay, and that there were signs Of
lodging by Tillman; but that he inten-
ded to hold him to the agreement. The
senator said that he only wanted Till
man in this race, and that he would
give the people a clean. decent, high
toned campaign, or If Tillman prefer
red he could throw as much mud as
Mr.. Tillman wanted. Senator McLau-
rim said that the senate was too small
for both Tillman and himself. and that
he wanted to meet Senator Tillman in
every county in South Carolina. Such
men as Captain P. L. Breeder, G. E.
Exum, H. w. Carroll and many such
prominent business men, led the crowd
Bennettsville will be almost solid for
McLaurin. and the citizens, through
Mr.. Boucher, pledged Senator McLau-
rim their support.

May 26, Mr.. John Parks, aged rs years.
The deceased had been confined to his

disease was superinduced by measles.
He was a native Of York county and

AT present South Carolina virtually
has no choice in the settlement OF pub
lie questions, as the vote Of one sena-
tor kills the other-Wm. j. Bryan.
What drivel to come from man who
has twice been the Democratic candid
ate for president Of the United States.
1t was because South Carolina had two
representatives in the United States
senate instead of only one, that she
was enabled to secure to this nation
Porto Rico and the Philippines islands,
and at the same brilliant stroke, place
the United States in her rightful posi-
ton as the foremost commercial power
of the world. Still more, the vote that
accomplished all this was made with
the approval Of Mr.. Bryan, and 1t Is
because of this vote that Senator Till
man is now claiming that "If McLau-
rim is Democrat am not!"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-06-01

SENATOR John T. Morgan, of Ala
bama, has the reputation Of being one
of the ablest and most patriotic states
men in America. Of all the men living
today, he has the right to be called the
Father of Democracy" He was with
McLaurin in every vote that the sena-
tor cast against the party bosses.
Only few months ago he was before
the Democratic primaries for re-elec-
ton, and there was bitter fight
against him on the ground that he was
a Republican. It was said at the time
that the big trans continental railroad
lines spent big money in their efforts
to defeat him because of his efforts In
behalf of the Nicaragua canal. His
opponents denounced him as Repub-
lican, and the candidate who sought
his office was a man who had been
elected governor by Democratic votes.
Senator Morgan carried every county
in the state. The opinion, therefore,
that such a man as this entertains of
John L. McLaurin as a statesman and
Democrat, ought to be of especial
weight. 1t is published in another COL
umn as given in an interview with the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Record-Herald.

"IF McLaurin is to be allowed to
change his politics five times in ten
years, it looks as If he should accord
Teller the right to change once in 80
years." spitefully declared Senator
Tillman at Gaffney. But the fact Is
that neither McLaurin or Teller have
changed at all. Both stand where
they have always stood; the former for
free speech and free thought in South
Carolina, and the latter for the politi-
cal equality of the Negro.
