boiling out of the ground at an alarm
ing rate. and when Mr.. Rawls digged
down to investigate the trouble on
Monday, discovered break of full nine
inches in length. The break appeared
to be fresh and new. There was no

to substitute for the defective one and
Mr.. Rawls temporarily repaired the
damage by clampinga strip Of lead over

possible and substituted for the one
that IS broken.

THE BRUTALITY OF Ex-senator Till
man, not long since, made a character
istically brutal criticism Of Senator
McLaurin, referring to sickness in the
latter's family in manner which
showed a great want Of any delicacy of
feeling. In this he was joined by sew
eral newspapers in the state. Senator
McLaurin at that time was at the bed
side of his step-father, Mr.. Mowry, in
New York. Mr.. Mowry died last
Sunday morning. 1t really seems that
politics has reached a miserably low
plane when a man cannot attend
members of his family who are sick
without capital being made Of it.
When Senator McLaurin's little daugh-
ter was exceedingly Ill with typhoid
fever this was done, and likewise
when his wife was sick. 1t would
seem that political persecution could
go no further. According to his
enemies, Mr.. McLaurin Is vulnerable
enough along other lines, without a re-
sort to such methods as this. South
Carolinians have never endorsed such
warfare, and they will resent it at the
proper time.-Sumter Herald.

THE attempted assassination Of the
president last Friday found the legal
reserves in the New York banks at a
dangerously low ebb with conditions
bordering pretty nearly on panic. The
news Of the shooting came just as the
exchanges were closing for the day, and
there was but little opportunity for
serious fluctuations in the market be-
fore bushes was over. Recognizing the
seriousness of the situation, the leading
financial interests Of the city held a
meeting and perfected arrangements
whereby it was assured that money
could be had by all who could offer
good security. and this helped to boil
ster up the situation. The more favor
able news from the president Saturday
and Sunday and Monday still further
helped things along. and it is now be-
lieved that no panic can possibly occur.

not be discussed here. If he were a
Democrat, however, We Of South Caro-
line would feel that he had a right to
demand of the people Of all other Sec
tions to consider him in the light Of his
personal character and public acts as
president of the common country; and
since he Is not a Democrat, but Re-
publican, it is only right and proper
that Democrats should accord the same
measure that they would demand.
We regret the dastardly blow that
has been struck at the president; we
regret it because Of our horror at the
idea that such a spirit as Is here man.
ifested could be born and nurtured In
this country, and we regret 1t because
Of the horrible personal suffering and
danger that has been brought to
great, pure American who Is entitled to
the personal love and esteem Of his sew
enty millions of fellow citizens.

Anarchistic societies throughout the
country have been holding meetings
during the past few days since the
shooting of the president. The Pater-
son, New Jersey, society, and the Chi
cago society, both held meetings on
Friday night. The Chicago society re-
mained in session until late hour in
the morning. various members making
speeches in German and frequently u.s.
ing the name of President Mckinley.
The Paterson anarchists generally ex-
press satisfaction at the deed of Czol-
gosz; but deny that they had any pre-
vious knowledge of it. The Chicago
anarchists treat the circumstance in the
same manner. All. of course. know
that to admit completely would be dam
gerous to their persons. a posse Of cit
liens bore down upon a meeting Of an
archists in Kansas. Saturday. wounded
several and started the whole outfit on
the move.

DEATH OF SENATOR MCLAURIN's STEP
EATHER.-W. S. Mowry, of Eaglewood,
N. j., died on Sunday morning. He Is
the step-father of Senator McLaurin,
and his death had been hourly expected
for two weeks. Senator McLaurin's s
mother is a daughter of Colonel T. c..
Weatherly. and married Mr.. p. B. Nc
Laurin, who died in 1864, leaving three
children, of whom the senator was the
eldest. In 1867, Mrs. McLaurin married
Mr. w. S. Mowry, then Of Charleston.
In 1873 Mr.. Mowry moved north and
became a member of the stock and cot
ton exchange. The very large fortune
which he had made in Charleston, un-
der his skillful management, rapidly
increased and is now estimated at five
or six million dollars. There are five
children by the second marriage, three
boys and two girls. The senator, by
reason of attending the Anderson meet
ing, could not get back in time for the
funeral.-Greenville News, 4th instant

STATE HITS BACK.

The Columbia State of yesterday,
among other things, has the following
to say about the resolutions passed by
the mass meeting held in Yorkville on
Monday:
Information reaches us that a small
meeting was held in Yorkville yes
terday which passed resolutions ex-
pressing sympathy for President Nc
Kinley and condemning The States
editorial in which, while denouncing
the crime, expressing sympathy for it's
victim and paying tribute to the per-
sonality Of the president, this news
paper said that it could not reserve the
adverse opinions it had expressed as to
the policy Of his administration. We
are willing to bet something that a
McLaurin emissary was at the bottom
Of this Yorkville declaration. Two Nc
Laurin touters elsewhere have adopted
similar policy Of Misrepresentation
and denunciation, and a scheme is be-
ing engineered here with apparently
the same motive Of making a political
point against this anti -McLaurin
journal.
On the theory that "all is fair in
politics." some people may lend them
selves to this scheme, begotten Of
malice and political desperation. Those
who approve a betrayal of the Democ-
racy Of South Carolina into the hands
of the Washington administration and
who resent The States antagonism to
the imperialistic idea, may be able to
persuade themselves that condemna-
tion Of The State will justify them and
help McLaurin. This newspaper, how
ever. Is serene in the assurance that
those who are not it's enemies will not
lend themselves to the so despicable
policy. What we said cannot be mis-
interpreted by intelligent and fair.
minded men, and such men will not
pervert either the words or the spirit
of the article.

ELSEWHERE is reproduced so much of
the Columbia States editorial of yes
terday as may be properly taken as
bearing upon the resolution adopted by
the MISS meeting in Yorkville on Mon
day. a casual reading of the edito-
rial leads to the inference that The
States original remarks were merely
intended as political buncombe to coun-
teract the sympathy it had reason to
fear would be developed as the result
Of the terrible misfortune that had be-
fallen the president. Had the meet
ing looked at the editorial in question
in this light, there is little reason to be-
lieve that it would have dignified such
utterances with notice: but the wording
of the editorial was such as to preclude
such view, and hence the very proper
action that was taken.

suggestion Of Major Hart and said
resolution condemning the editorial in
the Columbia State should be added.
He felt sure that such a resolution
would express the sentiment Of ma
jority Of the community. Mr. w. R.
Carroll suggested that Major Hart's
remarks be endorsed as the sentiment
Of the meeting. Mr.. B. N. Moore was
Of opinion that the meeting should con-
fine itself to the object of the call. Rev.
w. G. Neville thought the resolutions
should be separated, as also did Mr.. F.
P. Mccain, while Messrs. G. H. O'Leary
and John R. Hart thought they should
go together.
The main contention up to this time
was whether the resolution in condem-
nation Of the editorial in the Columbia
State be considered in connection with
the other resolutions or separately.
Some held to one view and some to the
other, but 1t was finally decided that
the resolutions be considered separate
ly, whereupon the paper that was al
ly adopted by rising vote. After it
had been disposed of the following. Of
fered by Major Hart and seconded by
Dr. r. A. Bratton, Mr.. w. r. Carroll
and others, was taken under considera-
tion:
Resolved, That this meeting con-
demns an editorial in the Columbia
State Of September 7th in its remarks
upon this deplorable tragedy.
Mr.. G. w. s. Hart said that there Is
nothing in The State editorial that is
not true. and he was not afraid to say
so. He would say, however, that the
editorial was uncalled for at this time
and that 1t was cowardly.
Senator Brice insisted that the edito-
rial was true in every particular The
State had said that Mckinley is a pure
man; that Is true. It said that he
made good president; that Is true, I
believe. It must be remembered, how
ever, that the Objectionable portion
does not discuss Mckinley, the man;
but Mckinley. the president. Mr.. Con-
zales is newspaper man and has a
right to free expression Of his views.
These being his honest views. we have
no right to condemn them.
DR.. R. A. Bratton insisted that he Is
as good a Democrat as anybody; but
the views and sentiments expressed in
that editorial are untrue and ought to
be condemned.
Major Jas. F. Hart said: when he
charges that this stricken and dying
man was criminal with more blood on
his hands than the assassin himself I
ask this this meeting to condemn it."
[Applause].
The chairman put the question, and
the resolution was adopted by vote of
16 to 4. Several declined to vote on the
ground that they had not read the edi-
torial in question, and others refrained
from other reasons satisfactory to
themselves.
It was resolved that the original res
olutions be sent to Secretary Cortelyou,
and that copy of the other resolution
be forwarded to the editor Of the Co.
lumbia State.

Blackwell's island: go out into the So

: THE STRICKEN PRESIDENT.

<Xhe first news Of the attempted as
sassination Of President Mckinley that
reached Yorkville last Friday afternoon
came from Mr.. S. D. Patrick, Of McCon-
nellsville, who was seeking to learn
over the telephone whether or not the
shocking story was true.
It was some little time before tel
ephonic connection could be secured
with Charlotte; but as soon as this was
done, The Observer people confirmed
the horrible story and gave additional
details. Later Congressman Finley
managed to get an authentic telegram,
in which the condition Of the president
was correctly described at that time,
and which held out some hope that the
situation was not quite so desperate as
there had been reason to fear.
The effect Of the shocking news upon
the people Of Yorkville and vicinity was
profound. Almost without exception
all classes looked upon the deed as an
irreparable public calamity. Most peo-
pie forgot all about politics for the time
being, and there was very general
feeling that the death Of the president
would result in widespread personal be-
reavement.
There was an unusual demand for
the daily papers that arrived on Satur-
day morning, and inasmuch as none
were available except to subscribers, as
much as 25 cents copy was freely Of
fered for the Columbia State or any
other paper containing a full account
Of the tragedy.
The interest displayed was not al
together a matter Of idle curiosity
about details. During Saturday, THE
ENQUIRER displayed a number Of tel
egraphic bulletins giving the latest in
formation about the presidents con-
dition, and these were watched by the
public with genuine concern, which will
probably show no sign Of abatement
so long as the life Of the president may
continue In danger.
The mass meeting held in the court
house Monday, especially the attend
ance upon 1t, was an unusual thing for
Yorkville. Often such meetings are
called and abandoned for lack of at
tendance. Sometimes they are held
with less than a dozen people, and the
fact that 80 or 40 people came out at
such short notice, gives some idea Of
the genuine concern that Is felt by the
people.
But 1t Is not only In YorkVtlle that
the people have been showing their in
terest and concern. Since last friday,
when the first news was received, The
ENoUIRER's phone has been ringing al
most constantly with requests for in
formation from all parts Of the county,
and in every instance all the news at
hand has been cheerfully furnished.
For the telegraphic bulletins that
have been posted in front Of THE EN-
ouIRER office, the public Is under obli-
cations to Mr.. August Kohn, manager
Of The News and Courier's Columbia
bureau.

CONDITION eF THE PRESIDENT.
All Symptoms Continue Favorable to
Recovery.

All Symptoms Continue Favorable to
Recovery.
While the president cannot be con-
sidered absolutely out Of danger until
this wednesday, evening at o'clock
five full days after the shooting, there
is now every reason to hope that he Is
on the way to sure recovery.
The information in the papers of yes
terday (Tuesday) morning, was to the
effect that there had been no signs of
fever indicating unfavorable symptoms,
and that during Monday the president
had moved himself in bed without as
sistance. The doctors were unwilling
yesterday to give their professional
opinion that the president was out of
danger; but it was their personal opin-
ion that the outlook is exceedingly
hopeful.
UP to noon yesterday, according to
telegraphic advices, there had been no
unfavorable change.

Lancaster Ledger, Saturday: There Is
some excitement in the Primus section
over the fact that a very large bear was
seen by Mr.. J. D. Hinson near his home
last Tuesday evening. He followed it
some little distance into the woods and
fired several shots from his pistol at 1t,
to which 1t paid no attention. 1t was
going in kind of fox trot and did not
quicken its gait. Mr.. Hinson and some
of his neighbors tried to track it to its
hiding place the next morning, but soon
lost the track in the woods.
