TILE SOUTH CARoLrNA COMEDY.

The Tillman- Nc La urin- insolvency cor
| respondence has some amusing features.
! It is evident now that there is not going
to be primary election in South Carolina
this year, and it is equally certain that
Senators Tillman and McLaurin are not
going to give up their seats in the Senate.
We were inclined to believe Gov. Nc
Sweeney was acting in harmony with
Senator Tillman in refusing to accept the
designations of the senators. but subse-
| quent developments seem to indicate that
he is simply acting in accordance VITA
his own judgment.
His letter to Senator Tillman, in reply
to the latters criticism of his action, in
refusing to accept the designations of the
senators, is calculated to increase what
ever strength he has with the people.
He tells Senator T.llman that he does
not think it is for the best interests of
the people to have a primary this sum-
mer, and that he is clothed with author
ity to say whether there shall be a pri-
mary or not. He also says that the state
constitution makes the Office Of senator
more nearly akin to a state Office than it
is in any other state. and that therefore
he is right in refusing to accept resig-
nation with a string attached to it, lie
tells the senator, however, that If he
wants to resign to send in his resigna-
ton, and that it will be accepted, but
that there will be no election to fill the
vacancy this summer-that he will fill the
vacancy by appointment.
Senator Tillmau isn't going to send in
any such resignation as that. He has too
high an appreciation of the place he
holds. If he should remain out of it for
a year he might not find it so easy a
matter to get it again. AS against Nc
Laurin he would no doubt be reelected,
but If the Governor should appoint a
popular Democrat, who would hold the
Office year, he might find the people
willing for him to remain at home.
There will no doubt be considerable
more spondence. Senator Tfllman
1t is probable that Senator McLaurin will
keep on writing letters for a while longer.
In his last letter he tries to make the
people of his state understand that he
is the simon-pure Jefferson1an Democrat
and that Mr.. Bryan and Senator Tillman
are Populists. He goes so far back for
authority for his claim that 1T is prob
able that most of the Democrats of South
Carolina will fail to follow him They will
prefer to accept the party's last official
utterance as the standard by which to
measure ones democracy.
No doubt the Democrats of South Caro-
lima are having some amusement out IF
the political situation in that state. That
is better than having a red-hot political
campaign in the midst of summer. Prob
ably even Senator Tlllmans admirers are
not sympathizing with him in the defeat
of his efforts to have summer cam
paign.

OUTLOOK FoR THE PEACH CROP.

A day or two ago we published a long
dispatch from Fort Valley, the center Of
the peach section of the state. In which
was given review of the prospects of
the peach crop. The crop, from present
INDICATIONS, will not be a large one, but
there is no doubt that the peaches will
be of a superior quality. They will be
large. and, 1t is believed, of fine flavor
The reason they will be large is that the
trees are not overloaded.
When the trees contain more peaches
than can mature properly, there is all
ways a large percentage of inferior fruit,
and there is temptation to mix the in
ferior with the best grade with the hope
that it will be accepted at the price COM
manded by the best fruit. 1t never IS
so accepted, and the consequence is that
fruit growers are disappointed.
Notwithstanding the increase in the
number of bearing trees the output of
the orchards will be smaller than it has
been in some other years. but it is ex-
pected that the crop will bring more
money than an exceptionally large crop
would, for two reasons. First because
the markets are not likely to be glutted
and, second. because the peaches will be
large fine and will present a very at
tractive appearance. In our dispatch there
were given some figures as to the number
OF carloads that would likely be shipped
from the state, but 1t is evident that es-
Inmates at this time cannot be relied upon.
The trees are pretty well filed now,
but there are indications that they will
lose very considerable part of their bur-
den during the present month. The
weather from now until the time for
picking the main part OF the crop ar
rives will have much to do with the size
of the croo.
The fruit industry OF the state has
reached very large proportions. and yet
there are those who believe that it is
only in dts infancy. There is an i'm
mense area that is well adapted to
peaches. plums and other fruits and II

value for peach growing was understood.
Land which ten years ago could be had
for SO and $3.50 per acre. cannot lie
bought now for less than $50. and in some
instances 500 per acre.
The peach industry is not thoroughly
systemized yet. II is only a question Of
a few years when there will be superb
facilities for drying peaches and for can
ming peaches. plums and other fruits in
all parts OF tho state where the fruits
can be grown with success. There are
canneries now in some localities. but
there yet remains much to be done in this
direction. Georgia is dlverslfying her in

Just to rest it. The other eye is on

took the patch off his eye. There is no
more reason why we should always use
both eyes at the same time than there
is why we should always use both hands
at the same time Some persons get
along very we'll with one hand, and even
better with one eye. Then why shouldn't

King EDWARD Mixed in His Dates

A certain carelessness about proper

borne out by a story going the rounds
about His Majesty, the King OF Great
Britain. relates Glasgow newspaper.
Some weeks ago he pointed out a picture
to one of the royal household, and Raid:
Il have promised to send that picture
to Moscow; see that 1t goes"
ITO Moscow Your Majesty" said the
gentleman addressed.

an exhibition, or something of that sort,
on there just now"

STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER

There is no room for misunderstanding
| the charge which Judge Falligant deliver
ed to the grand jury on Tuesday. 1t was
blow, straight from the shoulder, at GER
tain evils which have long irritated this
community. The Judge was particularly
! severe on liquor selling on Sundays, gamb-
ling and the bribing of voters. He gave
particular attention to policy gambling.
the most harmful of the different kinds of
public gambling with which this city is af-
1icted. Il is a species of gambling that
takes bread out of the mouths Of the
wives and children of the very poor--that
absorbs the earnings of the lowest class
of wage-workers. 1t is doubtful If it is
tolerated in any other city in the country
and the wonder is that il has been toler-
ated so long here.
While Judge Faligant did not make any
statement as to what punishment he
would mete out 10 violators of the law
against selling intoxicants on Sundays,
vote-buying and gambling there was no
MISLEADING his meaning. He has given
warnings enough against these classes of
offenders and he will now proceed to make
them understand that he intends that the
laws shan be respected. In doing this he
will have the approval of the great ma
jority of the community

lars are annually taken from the slender

the city or to the support of any enter
prise that helps to give employment to the
laboring classes. They have nothing at
stake in the city and are ready to leave it
whenever the authorities enforce the laws
so vigorously that it is no longer profit
able for them to remain.
OF all of the kinds of gambling com
plairred of policy gambling causes the most
irritation. 1t is carried on in many parts
of the city, and the policy writing is done
so openly that persons passing along the
main streets can see crowds of negroes at
the offices of the policy writer's in. the
lanes. This kind of gambling is so general
among the servant class that employers
hesitate to trust their servants with
money to go to market or to make pur-
chases at the stores. Strange as it may
seem, the policy writers are seldom mo-
Tested by the officers Of the law, although
If fakir should attempt to run a gam
bling game of any kind on the street he
would be arrested at once.
The grand jury may have some difficulty
in getting evidence on which to base in
dictments, but the indications are that it
will have assistance. With the feeling
there Is now in the community. and the
certainty that there will be no leniency in
dealing with offenders, it may be safely
assumed that the most fragrant phases OF
the evils complained of will be checked at
once and the evils themselves may even
tually be eradicated. One thing is certain,
and that is that the court and the law and
order people are In closer touch than ever
before. The court sees the need of more
vigorous efforts in the direction of reform
and the people are ready to assist.
