The Testimony All In.

The State Executive Committee met
in Columbia on Thursday night, NOM
inally to arrange Il primary for the cleo
tiOn of Congressman OF the 7th Dis
trict in the place Of the late Congress
man Stokes. This was done and the
Primary occurs about Sept. 10Th. The
committee consists Of forty members,
one Of each county, and Senator Till
man ex.oilcio he being the States
representative on the National commit
tee, and OF the committee he may be
described as Magma pars fuit-trans-
lated, he being the greater part Of it.
Two sets Of resolutions were intro.
duced, one to require Il Congressman
to stand by the National Democratic
platform OF 1900, the caucus, and Il sub
sHtute, demanding the resignation
forthwith Of Senator McLaurin. This
passed overwhelmingly, 2 to 5, only
2G counties being represented. There
was much debate, somewhat crude in
tone, the body no. likely to take rank
with the seven wise men OF Greece or
their accomplishments to take rank
with the seven wonders of the world.
The minority were of opinion that the
committee had no right to pass the
resolution. But why not? 1t is only
after all an expression OF opinion and
goes far to establish the patent fact
that McLaurin smisreprescnting those
who sent him to the Senate. The com
mittee acted wisely, if there was some
loose talk. Senator Tillman was lit
tie bit savage on McLaurin, perhaps
too much so to do good for the cause he
espOuses. The Senator is older now
and has been around and about and
should &c moro prudent. The differ
encc between men lies in whether one
controls his passions or his passions
him. Bnt the committee did not blum
der. With the evidence of dissatisfac-
tion now pervading the Democratic
ranks in this State as to McLaurin's 5
course, if McDuilie, Hayne or Lowndes,
stood in his shoes the Governor would
have his resignation by wire in an
hour,

Rev. B. II. Grier.

Rev. b. Fl. Grier and family leave
tomorrow, Thursday, for their new
homo in Ora, in Laurens county, where
MIR. Grier assumes the paStOrate of the
Associate Reformed church. Mr..
Grier has been living in Yorkvillc
since 1894, havi0g preached his first
sermon on the first Sunday Of that
year, and has since had charge OF the
a. r. =. churches at Yorkville and
Tirzah. When he came to Yorkvillc,
the church had go members, and the
number has since grown to 81. TirZah,
which then had II members now has
20, after having given on quite num-
Der to Rock Hill, Iorkville and other
places. The Sunday Schools at both
Yorkvillc and Tirzah have grown very
considerably During Mr.. Grier's pas
torate both churches have largely in
creased their contributions to mission
ary enterprises: but have made no an
preciable increase in the salary allowed
to pastor. The church at Ora has
about 80 members and will take a, OF
Mr.. Grier'S time. During his stay i'm
Iorkvilic, Mr.. GriCr has won the high
est respect and esteem of all the peo-
pie with whom he has come in contact.
1t is generally conceded that he has
discharged his duty regardless of per-
Soh"I Consequences anu tnc clltlrC COM
munity feels that his life has been a
faithful exponent of the religion which
he processes. He has been strong
foe TO intemperance OF every kind
especially to the intemperance grow
ing out of the abuse OF Intoxicating
liquors, and although it cannot fairly
be said that he has ever been cXtrcmc
or fanatical, he has pursued his fight
steadily, consistently and without com
promise. The only disrensary that
has ever been located in tlle county as
now CONSTITUTED, was that at Tirzah, in
the midst OF one Of Mr.. Griers congre-
cations. Observing the pernicious cf-
fccts upon the community, Mr.. Grier
made it his especial business to mar
shall al possible influences to rid the
neighborhood of the evil, and to him
more than TO any other one individual
belongs the credit for the removal Of
the Tirzah dispensary. The results
that followed fully proved the wisdom
OF his efforts, and he has since had
much cause to congratulate himself on
the work performed. Mr.. Grier and
family will be accompanied to their
new home by the best wishes of many
people in this community, and the mem
bers OF the Yorkville and Tirzah con-
grcgations will, for long time, feel
that in the removal of himself and his
most excellent wife, a severe loss has
been sustained. Yorkville Enquirer

Gen. Gomez is faring badly on his

Palma. In the Puerto Principe prov
ince his meetings have been broken
up, he has been greeted with shouts
of traitor" and stones have been
thrown at him. Gen. Gomez is mount
ed on the same horse he used during
the war and is accompanied by a band
and a number of veterans. The Maso
feeling is running strong in Puerto
Principe. The Nancion says Gomez
is paid by the government to stump
the country. He is met with that &C
cusation on every hand. Maso's fol

their candidates and the feeling in

The employees of the Bourne mills in
Tiyerton, r. l., received Tuesday their
25th consecutive semi-annual profit
sharing dividend, and the announce
ment that the directors had voted TO
continue the plan for another year.
They were also advised that by a spec
ial vote of the directors the limit Of
possible participation of profits by the
employees had been doubled, so that
now the amount may be mot less than
6 per cent, nor more than 20 per cent
of the amount paid to the stockhold
ers. Since the inception of the profit
sharing plan, in 1888, the dividends
have averaged 3.24 per cent semi
annually. When payment was started
it was hoped that the dividends would
equal savings bank rates. It appears
that the dividends paid to the EN-
ployes have averaged more than 6(
per cent greater than savings hanl
rates."

To Prevent Cruelty to Animals.

In view of the many appeals for help
received by the Burlington Humane So
ciety from towns so to 100 miles away,
and of the time and expense involved in
making Investigations at a, distance, ii is
thought best to give in the fewest and
plainest words possible, the course to be
pursued by any person who would see
both justice and mercy done. 1t does not
seem TO be generally known that every
town has within it all the powers, and all
the officers, necessary to enforce the laws
respecting cruelty.
/. Have a friendly talk with the often
der Show him the folly of his course,
the injury he does to himself well as
to the animal. This failing, tell him of
the legal PENALTIES to which he renders
himself liable.
q If advice and warning are of no use,
make complaint to your town grand juror
or constable (or TO sheriff, deputy sher-
if. police officer or agent of some HUI
name society or to the states attorney
of your county, and furnish him with
such evidence as will go to establish the
charge of cruelty. 1t is the duty or any
one or these officers to entertain com
plant made to him and investigate the
same. and to make formal complaint be-
fore a Justice of the peace Cor city judge
or the county COURT in case the facts APP

g. Have the courage of your principles

to give effect to the merciful intent OF
the statutes which forbid cruelty.
4. Remember that anonymous COM
plants forwarded by mail are entitled to
very slight attention, and especially when
they come from a distance
S. Remember, too, that 1t costs both
time and money for any Humane society
to investigate and prosecute case at a
distance; and don't expect few people
in another and perhaps a distant town
to pay all the bills for correcting abuses

A Story Like David Harum."

Zone of the best stories that know"
said the fat man in the chair by the
window "is on the well-known and
highly estimable Portland man, Joe
Sawyer, in the days of auld lang syne
"One day, so the story goes, a
stranger dropped into Joe's livery
stable in Portland and asked for a nice
hitch to be used by him around Port
land for the next few days. No one
recognized the man, and it was but
natural that there should be some
objections and some preliminary. 1t
so happened that the man was an old
resident of Portland, and that he was
a man of large wealth, who was back
into the old home again to see the
scenes of his youth. But no one knew
this, and the talk finally sifted down
to the proposition that the stranger
made in reply to Sawyer's remark that
as he didn't know him he would have
to have some sort of guaranty.

Five hundred dollars"

Joe was agreeable, and he put the
money into his safe, and the man
drove off with the team. They saw
him around town with the team all of
the week, sometimes off for two or
three days, and again back in the
stable for the night. Finally the
stranger came in after eight or ten
days and delivered up the team for
good. 1t was found to be in the same
condition. and so Joe went along to
the safe and took out the five hundred
dollars and passed it over.
The stranger put it into his pocket
buttoned his coat, said one or two
pleasant things about the horse, and
went out.
He hadn't gone far before Joe re
membered something-he hadn't go
any pay for the hire of the hitch. Call

"See here" said Joe, ''you haven
