course in voting with the Republicans
when in his judgment the interests of
his state and of the entire South de-
manded it.
The two things, it is hardly neces-
sary to point out, go together. 1t was
an evidence of pluck to make such a
record and it will evince pluck to de-
fend it. Mr.. McLaurin may lose the
fight. The probability is that he Will.
But he will perform a public service
in making it, and he will be very in
teresting figure while it continues. He
is no interloper, but South Carolinian
by birth and rearing, southern in all of
his sympathies, and so able man
that he had reached the Senate,
through several subordinate offices OF
He speaks well, and in debate at home,
with his course in the Senate as the
topic, he ought to make it lively for
his critics.
Partisanship is strong everywhere,
but it IS fierce in the South. Every
thing political is one way in that quar-
ter. In South Carolina Republicanism
is not only tabooed, but sometimes shot
out of men, although whenever the Re-
publicans in Congress revise the tariff
on protection lines the Democrats of
the South seek and obtain q saving
duty on rice, and share in thl laid on
cotton goods. STILL what thes endure
from people of the North and West
they will not tolerate among them
selves. 1t was in n country tavern
down there that the local member of
Congress excused himself from being
absent from Washington at an impor-
tant time of the session by stating that
he was paired. "Well," replied the vii
lage oracle, Il hope you had too much
decency to pair with any of them Re
publicans."
Mr.. McLaurin's offense consists OF
his having voted for the ratification of
the Paris treaty, and of speaking in
favor of the ship subsidy bill Support
Of the treaty was an act of the highest
pdtlloIlSll. anu IL lle Aluerlcdu DleT-
chant marine is ever re-established and
fulfills its mission, no section of the
Union will profit more than the South
and no state of the South more than
South Carolina. What then, is all this
pother about? Why should not Mr..
young man, and anxious
to see the South young and powerful
lgain-vote and speak in accordance
with his opinions? Because such n
course brought him in touch with the
Republicans on those two propositions?
Mr.. Lamar once offended the Demo-
Gratis of Mississippi by refusing to vote
IN the Senate for cheap money: But
his is one of the proudest names today
in the history of that state. He had, as
Mr.. McLaurin has. the courage of his
convictions. On large questions he
was large man.

A queer sentence closes the inscrip-
tion on tombstone in churchyard
In Leigh, England. After announcing
the name and other particulars of the
lady there buried, these words follow:
"A virtuous woman is 5s, to her hus-
band" The explanation is that space
prevented "a crown" being cut in full,
and the stonecutter argued that a
crown equals 5s.

GOVERNOR is FIRM
ADHEREs TO HIS POSITION RELA-
TIVE TO col. WILLY.
CALLED ON BY OFFICERS.
THEIR VISIT OF Personal, NOT
OFFICIAL, NATURE.

Governor Took the Ground That the
Colonel should Have Adhered to
the Letter of His Instructions at
the Time of the SyIvnnia Trouble.
Governor said 1t Would Be De-
cidedIy UnmiIitary for Officers to
Protest Against His Decision-CoI.
Gordon and Maj. Williamson Call
ed on the GOvernOr-They Are
Hopeful of an Adjustment of the
Matter.
officers and men of the First Regiment,
Infantry, were alike regretful when they
saw the story in the Morning News of
yesterday of the request of Col IT. S.
Wylly, Jr., of the regiment to be placed
upon the roll of retired officers in the
state service. If there can be no adjust
ment of the difference of opinion between
the Governor and Col. Wylly relative to
the rock upon which they split, the mat
ter of the item of expense incurred in
dealing with the trouble at Sylvania last
month, the Application of the latter will
stand.
Gov. Gambler said yesterday that he is
assured of his position, and that he knew
that he should not have approved the
item of s2270 for the special train that
was held in waiting by the Central Rail-
road at Col. WHY'S order. There was
nothing in the orders sent Col. Wylly, he
said, that could be contrued as instruc-
tions to have a train so held, and he
takes the ground that the commanding
officer of the regiment should have adher-
ed strictly to the letter of his instructions.
1T is reported, Governor" he was told,
that certain commanding officers will
cali on you to see if you will not possibly
effect some understanding through which
Col. Wylly may be induced to reconsider
his action, as his entire command and
the officers generally in the city would be
sorry to lose him from the service"
That" replied the Governor, "if they
appeared to present a protest would be
decidedly unmilitary."
Last night Lieut.. Col G. A. Gordon of
the First Infantry. and Maj. w. w. Will
hanson, commanding the Savannah Vol
unteer Guards called upon the Governor
at the De Soto. spending nearly an hour
with him in conference about the matter.
The officers did not call as officers, Col.
Gordon said, but merely to talk the mat
ter over with the Governor. Their visit
was purely personal their official char
acters having been, for the time being,
discarded.
The officers were hopeful of the result
of their conference. They are very anx-
ious that there may be an adjustment. and
in this desire military men generally will
share. 10 -4 ~

WHAT SAVED THE FARMERS.
Some Peculiar Features of Meteoro-
logical Disturbances.

The recent storm and coincident cold
wave that caused the Georgia farmers
so much uneasiness, and which, in its
further course northward was RESPONSE
BILE for so much destruction in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio. was most curious and
in many respects unusual one to persons
interested in meteorology.
The storm had its inception in. Texas
on the nth, was over Southern Mississ-
sippi on the following day, and on the
18th in Georgia; thence it Travelled slowly
northeastward, being over West North
Carolina on the 20th. On the 2lst il was
in Eastern Pennsylvania, on the following
day in Southern Ohio, and yesterday
morning, having made a complete loop,
was again in North Georgia.
1t is the making of this loop, and re-
turning by its former path. that consti-
tutes the unusual feature of the storm,
and this was brought about by rather I'M
usal weather conditions. The normal path
of storms such as this one is, northeast
and this If not obstructed probably would
have followed this course and vanished
out to sea somewhere off Nova Scotia.
But in this case the storm encountered
bank of heavy air over the northeastern
portion of the country which checked its
progress, as it was able neither to pene-
trate nor pass. 1t was the energy engen-
dered by this opposition that caused the
widespread destruction of property. The
storm. much of its energy expended. then
followed the path of least resistance,
curbed southwark and Travelled to Geor-
gia, where, yesterday morning, it was
reported as being practically spent.
1t was the supposition encountered that
proved the salvation of the Georgia truck
and peach growers, for had the storm
followed a normal course clear weather
would have prevailed over Georgia, and,
at the then temperature, resultant frost.
The storm being checked, cloudy weather
was experienced. with the result that
there was no frost.
Nagaries of storms somewhat similar to
that of the last one have at different
times been reported to the Weather Bu-
reau and to the Photographic Bureau.
Mr.. H. B. Boyer, local forecast official,
recalls case that happened in October,
1884, when d hurricane, born in the mid
Gulf and travelling northeasteward was
so delayed by the heavy air then prevail
ing off the Mississippi and Louisiana
coasts that a Mallory liner. out from
Galveston which encountered the storm
in the Gulf afterward was caught by the
same hurricane of undiminished energy
off the Atlantic coast between Charleston
and Savannah, the ship having Travelled
a thousand miles or more between the
two encounters. -g~-
