TO ACCEPT THE
SENATOR'S RESERVATIONS
McSweeney Says Canvass Between TilIman and
McLaurin Would Work Injury to the Material
Interests of the State.
lBy the Associated Press.l

Columbia, S. c., May 31.-Governor
McSweeney today acting, he said, in
accordance with the wishes of the peo-
pie who did not wish a primary with
it's incident strife and unrest. refused
to accept the designations of Senators
Tillman and McLaurin. These resigna-
tions were made at a political meeting
in Gaffney, May 25th, and were mailed
the Governor that night. He received
them the following morning when about
to leave for Chickamauga to partici-
pate in the unveiling of a monument
to South Carolina's dead The Cover
nor returned here early this morning
and announced his decision shortly af-
ter noon.
He wrote a communication to the
Senators in which he first said that he
returned their designations for fur
ther consideration, as their action
might have been taken in the heat of
debate and without full consideration
Of the affects upon the people. In the
closing paragraphs of his letters how
ever, the Governor unequiyocally de
clines to accept" the designations. His
reasons may be put in a few words.
A canvass between them would result
in bitterness, stir up the people just
at a period when they are trying to get
together for the material progress of
the State and would be campaign Of
personalities instead Of education. Next
year there will be ample opportunity
for a full discussion. Holding these
views, the Governor says his duty is
plain.

way daunted by the capture of eleven or
his guns by General Darlington six weeks
ago. The garrison of Vladfontein, appar-
emily largely composed of yeomanry. had
one hundred and seventy -four men put out
of action. That their assailants came to
close quarters and suffered heavily is
shown by the number of dead left on
the field The dispatch from Lord Kitch-
ener, dated Pretoria, May 3Oth is as fol-
lows:
General Dixon's force at Vladfontein
was attacked yesterday by Delareys
forces and there was severe fighting. The
