WITHIN THE TOWN.

The Perle Opera company played IN
the opera house last Wednesday night
to a small, but appreciative audience.
The music was fine, the comedians
were unusually good, and the special
ties were enjoyable. It was clean
show, we'll worth the price Of admis-
sion, and the only pity was that the
patronage was no better.
AT a meeting Of the town council,
last Thursday night, w. w. Lewis,
Esq, rendered his resignation as town
attorney. He had served year, and
thought he was entitled to turn the
work over to someone else. The coun-
ell accepted the resignation with much
regret, ami elected Mr.. Frank P. Nc
Cain as Mr.. Lewis's successor.

| ing, and an grafton Wednesday morn
ing by Rev. ]. c. Johnes.
Francis Roundtree, infant daughter
of Captain and Mrs. Robert T. Steph-
enson, died last Thursday morning at
about 10 o'clock of a complication OF
troubles incident to teething: The lit
tie sufferer had been Ill about two
weeks and wasted away steadily and
surely until the end came as stated.
The funeral took place yesterday morn
ing. Had the child lived until next
Monday, she would have been aged just
one year.
Captain J. R. Lindsay announces
that he Is again in the fire insurance
business with his office at the York
Cotton mills. The captain hardly needs
introduction in this line, for it Is pretty
we'll understood that he Is no novice,
having in times past conducted the
largest agency that has ever existed In
Yorkvilles He represents strong COM
panies, knows about every detail OF the
| business, and can give valuable tnfor-
nation to all who may be in need Of
| it. In his announcement elsewhere he
tells how he may be reached, either by
| phone or upon inquiry at the office OF
DR.. A. Y. Cartwright in Yorkville.
The trustees Of the Yorkville graded
school, including those elected Tuesday,
met on last Wednesday afternoon and

w. s. Hart as chairman, and the elec-
ton Of Mr.. Withers Adickes as secre-
tary and treasurer, vice Mr.. II. G.
Strauss, who had served in that capac-

to serve longer. After the organization
another meeting was held for the pur-
pose of considering the question Of con-
tinuing the operation Of the school.
Prof. B. L. Jones was reelected super
intendent without opposition; but the
matter Of filling the remaining posi-

been for the desperate struggle which
each made to get out first, both could
easily have escaped in safety. There
was no discussion as to the superior
right to life possessed by a married

ing, in short, except new and needless
proof that poor humanity, when con-
fronted by sudden and terrible peril,
sometimes fails to demonstrate its

cast his vote for the American people.
Here began a new era in American
history with changing political condi-
tions, and while most Of his colleagues
held to their policy of clogging the
wheels of progress, Senator McLaurin
boldly continued onward in his efforts
to conserve to the Democratic party
and nation, all that they had won
as the result Of a successful war;
Let us not forget that the Spanish
war was a Democratic war
But while he did great service to the
Democratic party and the country, Sem
ator McLaurin incurred the undying
hatred of the party associates whose
bossism he had detied.
Then and there his political death
was decreed, and the subsequent efforts
of Senator Jones to pledge him against
his honest convictions by means Of the
party caucus, was one of the first
stages of the plot that was Matched.
Senator Tillman's efforts to have him
rebuked by the South Carolina legisla-
ture was another step in the same di-
rection, and the sensational incident at
Gaffney was the desperate climax Of
this exceedingly selfish game.
To ascribe motives to other people Is
easy; but to prove them is impossible
except by inference. Every intelligent
man in South Crolina knows that as
the result of the upheaval that COM
menced along about 1890, the principles
of the Democratic party have been so
changed that neither Jefferson, Jack
son or Lincoln-whom Senator Tillman
calls a Democrat-would recognize
them were they alive today. Senator
Tillman said the other day that If to be
Bryan Democrat was Populism, then
he is a Populist. 1t is known that on
this basis the senator Is flirting with
the populists Of the Northwest for the
Democratic" nomination for the presi-
dency, and it Is we'll known by all who
think that even should these Populistic
principles win, the result would be dis
astrous to South Carolina and the
South, and here is the secret of the
great fight that is now on between Sem
ators Tillman and McLaurin.
Senator McLaurin Is in the arena for
the restoration Of true Democracy on
a basis Of principles that look to the
upbuilding Of the agricultural, CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests Of the
South, and Senator Tillman is working
to further strengthen the Populistic
theories that are promising him
Eight in the West"
Elsewhere in this issue, is Senator
Tillman's manifesto, setting forth his
excuses for being willing to subject the
state Of South Carolina to the demorai-
zation Of a campaign which has no use
at this time except to further his own
personal political schemes. There Is al
so published the views Of Senator
Jones, in support Of Senator Tillman,
and against Senator McLaurin, and as
in the light of all that has been said
and done up to this time, these do not
seem to require any further comment
or explanation at the present, they are
left to the careful consideration Of
those of our readers who care TO try to
study out the situation for themselves.

COLUMBIA, May Ex-Governor Nc
Sweeney has declined to accept the res
ignations of Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin on the ground that the people
do not want political turmoil and ex-
citement during an off-year, and that
1t would be wrong to tear the state up
without good cause, which does not ex-
ist. To be exact, the governor writes
Tillman and McLaurin in part as fol-
lows:

serious consideration of the effects up

AND Senator Tillman, like spoilt
child, tells the people of South Carolina
that unless they do as he says he wont
play. We had not thought Of 1t SER

of South Carolina got along very well
before the great Benjamin made his
appearance on the scene, and we have
an idea that it would continue to worry
along even If it should now be deprived
of his services.

Tillman whether he is loyal to the
plank of the Democratic platform that
declares against government by injunc-
ton, and If so, why it is he permitted
the injunction provision in his dispen-

plank, we would like to know why he
should condemn anyone else for repu-
dating any other plank.
