THE SYMPATHY RACKET.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
There is lot of chatter going on
about the "unfairness" and the 'usur-
nation" of the State committees action
in calling for the resignation OF Sena-
tor McLaurin. 1t will be conceded, we
think, that any Democrat of South
Carolina no matter how humble, would
have the right to write letter to his
local paper and call on the senator to
resign on the ground that he had failed
to fulfill the trust committed to him by
his party. Such letter might not, and
doubtless would not cause McLaurin to
resign; but the right of constituent
to thus express his opinion and his
wishes cannot be contested. If, then, an
unofficial member of the party has this
right, with what face can it be denied
to majority of the Democratic execu-
tive committee of the State, body
specially charged with the duty of safe
guarding the interests of the party,
body in which resides, between State
conventions, the supreme authority pit
the Democratic organization in South
Carolina? This is an obvious purpose
to work the sympathy racket in be-

The Republicans understand that the
average Southern Democrat who joins
their party when they are in control OF
the Federal patronage-(non join at
other times)-is after piece o. pie. The
publication that few Democrats are
seeking to gobble up the pie has alarmed
some of the "mossy backs" The Graham
Tribune tells such Democrats that they

Northampton county has an ideal sys-
tenn OF collecting taxes. A collector is
appointed for each township of the coun-
ty. Since the plan has been adopted the
insolvent lists and sales of land for taxes
have grown smaller each year until now
they amount to very little-to nothing in
some townships. The only loser by the
plan is the county paper 1t gets no
revenue from advertising land for sale
for taxes.

Before Cuba was free it bought nearly

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

After single day of buoyancy, the stock
market again yesterday declined and that so
heavily much more than TO offset the gains
made on Tuesday. There at the opening
appearance of strength. but 1t was deceptive
and temporary, and then liquidation set in
throughout the list. There little no
change in the crop situation. The drouth in
Kansas showed no sign OF breaking. and the
outlook for the corn crop by much the
more discouraging. There rainfall,
either in Iowa. where the cornflelds begin
ming to leel the need OF moisture; but a sprinkle
was reported in Nebraska and the Dakotas. and
there rather heavy rain In the Southwest.
The state OF the weather I'm the West, with the
resulting uncertainty to the harvests. was
the principal bearish influence of the day. Some
strength was impaired TO the market by the
announcement that the rate in the West
would be averted and that the Atchison would
to-day withdraw its proposed lower freight
tariff, and the belief was general that at to-
days conference the labor troubles of the United
States Steel Corporation would be satisfactorily
adjusted. Money was easy, ranging between 6
and per cent and closing at the latter figure;
but apprehension to the course Of the money
market during the next few weeks. combined
with uneasiness over the crop prospects TO de-
press stock values and induce liquidation.
was announced. which had a disturbing effect,
as with the announcement coupled the init
nation that further shipments might be made
Here and there in the list there was a definite
reason for yesterdays decline, IN the case OF
Louisville and Nashville, the most confident pre-
dictions of an increase in the dividend rate of
which company had been put FORTH but in gen.
eral the extreme weakness couli be explained
only in part by the crop uncertainty, and seemed
TO reflect rather pessmsm than any particularly
unfavorable news and TO point to the belief OF a
continuance of liquidation for some time to
come, trend which even sudden improvement
in the Western crop situation may not be able
TO arrest The grangers were naturally suffer-

New Workers FeastiDg on Oysters

New York. Oct 24.-The resi-
dents of the nelghborhood of Tween
ty.sixth Street and Second Avenue,
Borough of Brooklyn, are feasting
on Southern oysters which came
from Texas ON the Bottom of the
steamship Roma. Their existence
was unknown until she was put in
to dry dock for survey last Satur-
day, previous to being overhauled
by the Ross Iron Works. Then,
it is claimed several hundred BUSH
els of oysters were found to have
fastened themselves on the bottom
of the steamship from the keel TO
the water mark, at least 1000 being
of mature size and edible, as the
men about the dock found to their
satisfaction. Yesterday the bottom
of the dry deck was strewn with
oyster shells and a number of res
taurant keepers of the neighnrhood
took away baskets full 81 them.
