He CoNCURS But DAMNS.

Inasmuch as the parties to the
discussion we herewith repro
duce, are well known to our
readers, we believe it will be
read with interest. It will be
remembered that at last session
of the State Democratic Commit
tee, a resolution was adopted by
a vote of q to 5 denouncing Sen
ator McLaurin, and asking for
his resignation. Hon. ". D.
Mavfeld of Columbia was re-
ported as having said that twelve
of those voting for the resolu.
tions, regretted their action, and
Hon. D. H. Magill of Greenwood,
sent out circular letter Of in
ouiry, to ascertain if Mayheld' S
statement was correct. A number
of replies came, and among them
was that of Col. R. D. Lee of
Sumter, and which, together
with some inquiries from US, his
letter purporting to be a reply
to our inquiries, and our answer,
ali of which was published in the
News and Courier. The Columbia
STATE did not publish our IN
ouiries although the letter was
sent in the same mail which car
Tinc the one TO the News and
Courier. The following is the
discussion:
I'd. LEE, OF SUMTER.
7 beg to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of a copy Of your circular
letter addressed to the State
Democratic executive committee.
In reply I have to say that III
my opinion Senator McLaurin
bv his course in congress has
not been faithful to the trust re-
posed in him by the Democratic
party of South Carolina. Ac-
cordingly long before the meet
inc of the committee I had free
ly expressed the opinion that he
ought to resign. The resolu-
tions introduced at the meeting,
whilst unexpected to me were
voted for without hesitation. l
thought thenI was right and am
of the same opinion still. Hav-
ing no regrets for my action, l
have expressed none. Yours
respectfully,
r. D. LEE.

EDITOR APPELT TO COL. LEE.

To the Editor of The News
and Courier: In reading the
replies to the Hon. D. II. Ma
gill's letter to the members OF
the State Democratic committee,
who do not ''regret their part
in the performance" I was i'm
pressed with the letter Of Col.
r. D. Lee, of Sumter, whose
opinion is that "Senator Nc
Laurin by his course in Congress
has not been faithful to the trust
reposed in him by the Democrat
ic party of South Carolina
An opinion from such a source
is worthy Of more than casual
consideration, and as I am seek
ING light on the perplexing ques-
ton as to what constitutes 10y
atty to Democracy I would like
Colonel Lee to answer, through
your columns, the following
questions:
l. Do you, or do you not, ap-
prove of Senator McLaurin's
vote on the ratification of the
Paris treaty:
2. Do you, or do you not, ap-
prove Of Senator McLaurin's
vote on the army bill?
3. Do you, or do you not, ap-
prove of Senator McLaurin's
votes and position on the ques-
ton of expansion?
I. Are you a Democrat if you
approve of the ratification of the
Paris treaty, the army bill and
expansion?
5. Is the question of ship or
railroad subsidies party prin,
ciple?
s. Do you regard the conver,
sation had with me the night OF
the committee meeting after ad-
journment, private?
My object in asking the above
questions is to disabuse my
mind of any wrong impression
made in a conversation between
Col. Lee and myself. If, how
ever, he regards that converse,
ton private I will not expect
him to make public answer.
LOUIS APPELT.
Manning, August 81.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1901-09-04

tered, is soundly Democratic.
Hence a tariff levied for the
purposes of revenue only and
not for protection is time honor
ed Democratic doctrine.
The ship subsidy legislation
proposes to donate millions of
this money Of the people exact
ted from them under the forms
of taxation, to the enrichment
of private individuals who own
ships or may be thereby induced
to build the same. This is not
only not Democratic, but is per
nicious legislation. And yet L
understand that Senator Nc
Laurin advocates the same.
Again, to acquire control of
Federal patronage through the
favoritism of a Republican Ad-
ministration and dispense the
same amongst members of the
Democratic party is an act of
disloyalty to party organization.
And yet I have understood that
Senator McLaurin has done this
thing.
Expansion of American trade
and commerce by legitimate
methods is Democratic and
praiseworthy. Even territorial
expansion, whereby contiguous
territory is acquired for homes
for the people with the consent
of it's owners and not against the
opposition of it's inhabitants, as
in the Louisiana purchase, ad-
vocated by Mr.. Jefferson, is en-
tirely Democratic. But a career
of imperialism, whereby millions
of foreign people inhabiting dis
tant lands, where, that ''all just
powers of Government by force
and against their will, is a viola
ton of the ancient Democratic
doctrine promulgated by Mr., JET
ferson in the Declaration Of In
dependence and elsewhere that
"all just powers of Government
are derived from the consent of
the governed" Yet Senator
McLaurin is said to favor that
policy.
The ratification of the treaty
of Paris was advocated by Mr..
William Jennings Bryan, at that
time the. acknowledged leader of
the Democratic party, and was
voted for by any number OF
Democratic Senators. I have
never criticised adversely Sena-
tor McLaurin's vote on that
question. -
The doctrine announced by
Mr.. Jefferson that large stand
ing armies in times of peace is a
menace to the liberty Of the
citizen, is sound and Democratic.
He wrote when the population
of America was but a few mill
ions, but the principle is still
unimpaired. The application of
that doctrine to the army bill,
whereby an army of 10000 may
in time of actual hostilities be
increased to 100000, and for a
short term of service, is not
'clear,. Especially where our
population IS now $4,000, 1000 and
the American people have en-
joyed for more than a century a
Republican form of government.
I have never questioned Mr..
McLaurin's personal integrity,
but have simply differed with
him in political opinion. I be-
lieve I have in substance, at
least, answered Mr.. Appelt's
inquiries.

TO the Editor of The News

Iasked Colonel Lee, "Is the
question of ship or railroad sub
rsidies a party principles?" This
question he proposes to answer
by stating his opposition to ship
subsidy legislation. He does
not answer my question at all,
but he goes off on an old thread
bare argument, or rather asser'
ton of politicians that all such
measures are ''steals," and in.
tended for the enrichment Of
private individuals. An argu,
ment one can hear in any store
lot on a public day, from people
who have never had an oppor.
tunity to investigate the ques'
ton and really are totally igno.
rant of the effects and intention
of such legislation. But, parrot
like, they repeat the windy as
sertion of some favorite politi.
clan, who possibly is as well in
formed as they are. 1t is not
argument one would expect from
a profound lawyer, such as my
friend is, and am surprised that
he is so careless of his reputa'
ton as to permit such an argu'
ment to go out from him. Col
opel Lees opposition to it seems
to be based upon the ground that
Senator McLaurin advocates, as
business principle, giving aid
and encouragement to the Amer
lean merchant marine. to enable
our freight-carriers to compete
with the subsidized ships of En-.
gland and Germany, and, as
Senator Tillman has denounced
such legislation as Republican
ISM" of course anything Nc
Laurin favors is not Democratic.
I did not ask my friend his
opinion about Federal ofice-hol-
ding, but he takes occasion to
make a "bugbear" ont of Senator
McLaurin's having obtained q
Federal appointment for a Dem
crat in south Carolina. If that
is an indication of disloyalty to

This school was afterward trans
ferred TO Newberry G. H. and be-
came the fourishipg and widely
known Newberry College. After the
war the buildings were occupied by
United States soldiers, who abused
them to such al extent as to render
them totally unfit to be used for
the purposes for which they were
designed, and the Seminary went
with the College to Walhalla, from
thence it was carried to Salem, Va, =,
and then back to Newberry, and
from thence to Mt. Pleasant where
it is now located.
The Lutheraus have long been
much the strongest numerically and
financially of all the religious denom-
nations in the county. The churches
are numerous and the membership
active and progressive. If the
names of any of the older churches
are omitted the writer can only plead
that the information has not yet been
acquired It is not intended to in
clude in these papers the more recent
organizations. The origin and pro-
gress of the older churches of the
other denominations will probably
appear at some subsequent time.

So far as the records show Rev.
Lewis Hochheimer was the second
minister who labored here; aud the
first Lutheran minister. The Rev.
J. n. Martin was between the Bcosd
and Saluda rivers as early as 1857
and was the first minister to reside
there.

incorporated in the State and among
them, the following in Lexington
