REPUBLICANS ARE WORRIED.
Look to Tillnian to Defend Their
Pie Counter Against McLaurin.

Pie Counter Against McLaurin.
News and Courier, Tuesday.
Local Republicans, who are not In
sympathy with the movement being
engineered by Senator McLaurin, are
still gloating quietly over the reported
call down of the junior senator. The
story was printed in The News and
Courier several days ago that the old
line Republicans had made kick to
the national committee about the rapid
disappearance Of the Federal patron
age. The kickers pointed out that the
only thing which had kept the party
together in the past was the pap, and
with the loss of this to Senator Nc
Laurin's Democratic friends, the goose
would be cooked, SO far as the G. o. P.
was concerned. The committee
Thought the point was we'll taken and
let it be known that the brakes would
have to be applied to the whirlwind
movement Of McLaurin. He will be
allowed to fill certain offices, but the
proper share of the Federal pie distri-
button will fall to the Republicans.
a we'll known Republican of high
standing, said last night that more
states would be smashed between now
and December than Senator McLaurin
would be able to make up. He said
that the men who are now slated for
the best offices are not at all certain
of landing. According to his version
there are two opposing influences at
Washington, both directed against the
McLaurin movement. One side, of
course, Is headed by Senator Tillman,
and the other is made up of Republi-
cans who are not inclined to look with
favor on the loss of the best jobs by
their friends. This mixed state Of af-
fairs will make it interesting when the
South Carolina appointments are call
ed up for confirmation. Many of the
South Carolina Republicans have a
very powerful backing with the powers
that gather in Washington when con-
gress assemblies, and these friends are
going to demand certain facts before
agreeing to vote IN confirmation Of nell
ter-skelter appointments. At least this
is the idea of the older Republicans
here and they are free in the opinion
that the McLaurin slate smashing will
be so terrible that his movement will
be whipped into smithereens.
In the recent appointments, however,
Senator McLaurin showed that he was
the power that ruled. All the men who
were put into office got there by the
grace Of McLaurin, but the thing was
sprung so suddenly that the old party
did not have time to see what it all
meant. Postmaster Nichols, of Green
Vile. who was removed, will make
fight to hold the place. He Is
originally from Maine and intluen-
tial friends, who have a national
Importance, assisted in having him
appointed to the postoffice. These
same friends are anxious to have him
kept in. 1t is said here that former
Speaker Thomas 3. Reed made a per-
sonal appeal for Mr.. Nichols and Mr..

house, which anybody who wants to be
fair in their criticisms can see. In sub
stance they are about from memory
as follows: Sykes Massey and his wife
were seen coming out Of their house
scuffling over a gun. He got possess
sion of the gun in the yard and struck
her over the head several times. Some
thing was said to him about killing
his wife, he replied with an oath that
he did not care. Her clothes were on
fire. He brought water and helped tc
put it out or threw it on her. Who
started the fight does not appear and
who - ." gun first does not appear
in C testimony, in my recollection.
Giving the benefit of doubt as to who
started the fight and as to who first
got the gun in the fight, it is case OF
manslaughter. Besides, ten years Is
the life Of an ordinary convict. 1t Is
my experience that the hardest thing
to do is to convict a person oe murder
without a recommendation Of mercy,
which means life Imprisonment. I am
conscious that no one has any more
earnest desire to enforce the law to the
letter than myself" would not have

at the end Of last season was no larger

cold Of winter, however, better than
the beet usually does. and this year put
out eight additional tops, making nine
in all, and grew to it's present size.

Gaffney Ledger, July %: On Sunday,
Rev. w. S. B. Ford had to go to Buff
falo to offlciate at the funeral service
Of Miss Ella Morgan. On his way
home he stopped at the hospitable
home Of Mr.. r. E. Porter for dinner.
While there Mr.. W. C. Durham and
Miss Mettie Outlaw appeared before
him and requested that they be made
man and wife. Mr.. Ford obligingly
performed the ceremony, which was
witnessed by few friends Of the con-
tracing parties. The monazite in
dustry In this community Is once more
on the boom. Mr.. ]. A. Carroll shipped
a carload of $4,000 pounds one day last
week, making the second car that has
been shipped this month. Friday and
Saturday he bought more than $500
worth of the sand from two farmers.
There is every indication that the mon
azite industry will be worth infinitely
more than the cotton crop Of more than
one planter in Cherokee county this
year. Machinery for the monazite sep
arator factory has been ordered and Is
expected to arrive early in next montn
and will be put in operation as soon
as it can be placed in position. Con-
tractor L. Baker has the contract to
erect the building and is expecting to
go right to work on it. When the
new plant gets started it means that
there will be shipped from Gaffney
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 worth
Of monazite a month.
