The Committees Action.

The South Carolina State executive
committee has resolved that Senator, J.
L. McLaurin, from the standpoint of hon
esty and self-respect, should tender his
unqualified resignation Immediately"
This action, with Senator Tillman,
McLaurin's bitter opponent, on the COM
mittee and urging and advocating same,
was to be expected.
Unfortunately, however, for the sake of
the peace and harmony of South Carolina,
the State executive committee is not the
one to pass on this question. McLaurin
was elected by the people Of South Caro-
lima in the primary, and he will make his
fight for vindication before the people.
The Herald does not understand that
the South Carolina State executive COM
mittec has ruled McLaurin out OF the
primary. They have asked him to resign.
1t is hardly possible that McLaurin will
be so accommodating as to please his bit
ter political enemies.
Whether McLaurin is right or wrong
from the standpoint of South Carolina
State politics, under the system of South
Carolina, it will be for the people to de-
eide, in primary, if possible, or if this is
denied McLaurin by the element opposed
to him, then by the people at the polls in
fight for the Legislature that elects.
TO an outsider it looks like the State
committee will jeopardize the present
white primary system in South Carolina
by taking partisan and personal position
that would deny the United States Sena-
tor an opportunity to 60 before the people
who elected him and who arc entitled to
have him render them Ill account of his
stewardship.
Tillman and the State committee have
already preiudiced the case and they are
not the best or safest arbitcrs of the peo-
pie or the democracy in these times.
Further developments i'll South Caro-
lima will be watched with general interest
throughout the country.--Augusta Herald

Court Proceedings.

When we went to press last Thursday
morning the case of }. f. Kennedy,
charged with murder, was being tried.
This was the killing of negro which "c-
Cured ut GOvan Il short time ago. The
jury found him not guilty.
Thursday afternoon the Judge Scntenc-
ell }. B. and {. r. Jones, who had been
found guilty of manSlauShtcr and recon-
mended to mercy. He sentenced }. B.
Jones to serve ten years IN the penlten-
tiary at hard labor, while &. K. Jones re-
ceived sentence of seven years IN the
penitentiary at hard labor. 1t will be re-
membered that c. r. Jones did not do the
shooting, ,-but was present when Norman
was killed by his brother.
The next case tried was that against J.
Crum Smoak and Marion Smoak, Jr., this
being the case growing out of the trouble
at Midway on the day of the primary
election last year, in which Crum Smoak
shot and wounded J. NJ. Bessinger, and
was himself hit with stick by Bessin ger.
The case was tried at the April term and
resulted in L mistrial. This time the jury
found verdict of not guilty after 1 few
minutes deliberation.
This ended the criminal business, and
the Jury was dismissed Friday at noon.
The afternoon session of the court was
confined to granting orders, etc, and
court adjourned Friday afternoon, Judge
Aldrich returning to Aiken on the even

The State Democratic executive com
mittee has passed resolution requesting
Senator John L. McLaurin to resign,
''from the standpoint of honesty and self
respect" This action is not causing any
of McLaurin's friends to lose any sleep,
still we regret that the resolution was
adopted As far as it affects McLaurin,
that's al right. 1t will help rather than
injure him. Every one condemns the
committee, even those who are opposed
to the Junior Senator. We have not yet
heard one of our citizens express himself
but who said the committee did wrong.
But we are afraid it will only stir up
bitterness among our people. This move
ment is larger than McLaurin many of
the best and truest sons of South Carolina
favor these ideas, and they demand the
right to favor them inside the Democratic
party. They want fair play, and We had
hoped that these questions would come
up for discussion On their merits and that
there would be no attempt to becloud the
issue. The position of the committee, as
foreshadowed by the resolution adopted,
is not calculated to bring about calm,
dispassionate settlement of political
affairs.

Condemns McLaurin.

The State Democratic executive COM
mittee met in Columbia last Thursday
night to arrange for Il primary in the
seventh congressional district to nominate
q successor to the late J. W. Stokes. Be-
fore doing this, however, the committee
took a whack at Senator John L. Nc
Laurin. A resolution requiring an iron
clad pledge from congressional candidates
was first introduced, but this did not seem
to suit the committee The following
resolution condeming Senator McLaurin
was finally passed, after a heated discuss,
ion. Senator Tillman was present and
spoke in favor of the resolution:
Whereas, the Hon. John L. McLaurin,
Junior United States Senator, elected to
represent the State of South Carolina in
the national congress, has, by his atfilia-
tions and votes in that body, ignored the
national Democratic platform and thereby
misrepresented his State and the Demo-
cratic constituency who elected him ;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense and con-
victions of the State Democratic cXecu-
tive committee that Senator }. l.. Nc
Lauriu, from the standpoint of honesty
and self-respect, should tender his unQual-
iied resignation Immediately.

The Committee Replies.

EDITOR THE BAMBEKG HERALD Please
give us space i'll your columns for few
more words In the article of Mr.. J. a.
Chassereau, July Goth, we find these
words: "Strange it seems that while did
not attack any committee, they should put
themselves between Mr. Mckissick and
myself. have nothing to do with them,
as no charge has been made
1t appears that Mr.. Chassercau wants;
to place the committee in the awkward
position of interfering where it had no
business. Let us see whether he attacked
the committee or not. The followin" i
a statement of several citizens
We, the undersigned, hereby testify
that Mr. J. A. Chassereau accused the
Methodist committee, which met on the
Goth June, of holding a caucus to have
the artesian well placed near the Metho-
dist parsonage in order to enhance the
value of its property, and he furthermore
said he would not believe otherwise till it
had been proven to him.
J. NJ. Dannelly, S. W. Copeland, A. c..
Reynolds, J. D. Padgett, l. ". Carter. J.
d. Quattlebaum.
Again:
We, the undersigned, hereby testify
that We heard Mr. ]. A. ChssSereau state
that three of the committee speaking Of
the committee which met at the Methodist
parsonage on June 20th) asked him to use
his influence to have the artesian well
placed near the parsonage.
A. G. Reynolds, j. d. Padgett, |. w.
Carter, J. D. Quattlebaum.
Now, take these statements IN cOnnec-
tion with Mr.. Chassereaus words in his
article of July Sth, where he says, Il have
ALWAYS known rottennesS characterized
politics, but when it happens that L
church, to enhance the value OF its private
property at the public expense, resorts to
unjust means, it is time for it to go out of
business" and what do they mean: Let
the public be the judge. We were the
only representative body of the Methodist
church that met at that place on that day,
and it is but logical conclusion that Mr..
Chassereau'S attack was aimed at that
committee. If he intended his attack for
IN individual member of the Methodist
church, he should have so aimed it, and
not have given the church broadside
shot as he did.
As for coming in between Mr.. Chasse-
reau and Brother McKissick, we had no
sach intention, for we are aware that Bro.
McKissick is fully able to take care Of
himself We felt it our duty to deny the
charge brought against the Methodist
church, and we continue to deny, it and
defy the proof.
