A CowardIy Turn.
The Macon Telegraph SAYS:

The M"ron Telegraph saws:
In" Telegraph has not approv
ed Senator McLaurln's course in
~"mc important PARTICULARS, hut
it does not hesitate to say that
this drastic rem .dy for the stamp.
ing out of McLaurinlsm in South
Carolina is a cowardly and brutal
mistake.
TO say that not man is a demo-
crat who does not indorse the
Kansas City platform is to say
that Tillman was not democrat
until the adoption of tho Chicago
platform in 1895. He foamed at
the mouth from every stump in
South Carolina in opposition to
Hampton, Butler and others who
stood ON the democratic platform
in those days. He held aIoft the
platform of Ocala and trampled
the democratic creed under his
feet.
Tlllman is flannel mouthed
demagogus of the of the most
pronounced type, and the pitch
fork with which he would now
impale McLaurin would have
destroyed his own existence six
years ago.

"Tha duties of the cammittee

"The duties of the cammittee
arc purely ministerial. Snch high
banded action As they took was
totally outside the pule of their
authority.
"However, now that they have
resolved all of this, we want them
TO specif, something. Lot the
chairman or any one else on the
committee state Just whom and
where McLnurin has shown him
self TO he other than Demo-
crat. If thew will look up the
records at Washington they will
soc where Tillman has advocated
more measures proposed by the
Republicans than has McLaurin.
The records show that, Just let
the committee do that all by itself
without any b"ssing or debating
at Tillrnan's hands.
"hy opinion is that the effect
of this will he decidedly in Nc.
Laurin's favor. The resolutions
emit keep him ont "f the primary,
but they can do Il lot 20 put him
through the primary.
1.-The only thing that will pre-
vent Mr.. McLsnrin from running
in the primary is for the conven-
tion to make the radical move of
changing the oath This the con
ven,i"n will hardly da unless it
subserves itself to Tillman' s boss
ing, thing which do no: an
ticipatc.
That action of the committee
shows that the 'b"ss' has changed
his tactics. At Gaffnsy Tillmnn
said: 'fll fight to keep McLAu-
rim in the primary and now he
is fighting to keep him out.
Mr.. Mnyfield was asked as to
the charge made by Senator Till
man at the meeting the other
night about "McLaurin's buying
up the newspaper" and he said !:
The assertion that Mr.. McLa,-
rim Is bnving up any newspaper
is a lie. -

no money, was dynamited and
wrecked. The attempt at robbery
was made after the two mail cars
had been detached from the train
and run a quarter of mile ahead.
The failure of the robbers to maxi @
a rich haul was due to the fact
that the express car, which con
tanned the trains treasure. was IN
an unusual place. 1t was the third
car in the train. After wreckino

Some OF our young people who
attended DIR. Bays lecture at New
Hope last Friday night ran a
very practical joke on Squire Il.
w. Secrest Several couples
drove up in the yard and made
tho impression that runaway
scrape was on hand. The Squire
was already in bed, but responded
cheerfully, as he always does, to
the call, telling them to hitch out
in the yard anywhere it suited
and come in. He hurried in to
make ready for tho ceremony.
About the Iimc the boys thought
everything was reaey and in wait
ing they shouted good night to
the Squire and drove away to the
lecture, leaving him to his own
thoughts and reflections. He can
get even with those boys, however,
by charging them a double fee
when they do come in earnest.
