A lawyer said: .I heard able lawyers
say today that the case before the su-
preme court to test the validity of the
constitutional amendment could not be
brought until after July 1902, when the
amendment goes into effect. Even then
a case could not arise until an election
was held in the fall and unless some
one disfranchised by the amendment
brought suit. First 1t would have to be
brought in the superior court. It would
take six months to get the case before
the supreme court, and January l, 1905

Some other lawyers, one of them from
another part of the state and of the
highest rank in the profession said:

after We had gotten a favorable
opinion from the cabinet, based upon
certain contingencies that are still to
be provided for, we went on to New
York, and saw Mr.. Williams, Of the
Seaboard, and the authorities Of the
Southern, who treated US very nicely.
They agreed that they would, between
them move the exhibit from Buffalo
to Charleston and take it back to
Washington without cost, and that left
as the principal remaining requirement
to be provided for, a suitable building
in which to house the exhibit. This, I
feel confident, will be arranged. The
plan, as I understand 1t, Is to erect a
building Of staff-a reproduction Of
the White House, as far as practical

GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT AT CHARLESTON.
Senator McLaurin Tells How the Plum Wa,
Secured.

Surrounded by a number Of South
Carolina callers at his room in the Bu-
ford hotel, in Charlotte, last Thurs
day, Senator McLaurin told the story
of how the arrangement to secure the
transfer Of the government exhibit
from Buffalo to Charleston was
brought about. 1t is fair to say that
the senator was not talking for publ
cation, or that he had any reason to
suppose that the story would be pub
lished. Some one of his callers brought
the matter up, and he related his con-
nection with it for their entertainment.
The story as here reported is from
memory.
1.-The first man to suggest the idea to
me-" said the SENATOR was Mr.. VIM.
NJ. Bird. Of Charleston. a personal
friend. and gentleman of whom am
very fond. really did not have any
reason to hope that anything could be
done; but T decided that it would be
no harm to try. So I went up to see
the president about it. The president
appeared to be very much interested.
I called his attention to the liberal
provision that had been made for the
Buffalo exhibit, and the five millions
that had been appropriated for st.
Louis, and how, when Charleston had
asked for paltry s25O,O0O, she was cut
off without anything. The president
agreed that such treatment was
shameful, and we were warranted in
feeling that we were hardly a part Of
the country. He promised to lay the
matter before the cabinet and see
what could be done. This was about
the shape matters were in when the
Washington correspondent Of The
News and Courier sent his paper a
long story to the effect that the ex-
hibit had been secured, and pretty soon
I was deluged with kilograms and let
ters, all treating the subject as If 1t
were a settled fact, some containing
CONGRATULATIONS and others making all
kinds of suggestions. I was In for 1t,
and although the work was not yet
done, I saw that it had to be, or the
position in which I had been placed
would certainly become very embar-
RAISING. I telegraphed to Congress-
man Elliott and Director General
Averill, asking them both to come to
Washington"
why did you not send for Lati-
mer?" somebody suggested. Senator
McLaurin smiled Pleasantly and con-
tinued with his story:

BUTLER ENDORSES McLAURlN.
Had He Been In the Senate Would Have Voted
Generally the Same Way.

Generally the Same Way.
In an interview with the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Atlanta Dali
ly News, last Monday, ex-senator M.
c. Butler said:
IF had been in the senate should
have voted just as McLaurin did, with
the exception perhaps Of his vote for
the ship subsidy bill. South Carolina
subsidized every railroad built in the
state by subscribing to the capital
stock of the companies up to the
breaking out Of the war. If am not
mistaken this course was pursued in
behalf of every railroad without excep-
ton.
"It will be insisted perhaps that
there is a difference in principle be-
tween such action by a state and by
the Federal government. The Federal
government certainly subsidized to the
extent of millions and hundreds Of mil
lions the Union Pacific railroad, un-
doubtedly by the vote and help Of good
Democrats, however that may be, 1t
does not come very gracefully from
some Democrats and some so-called
Democrats to question McLaurin's s
democracy and undertake to read him
out of the party for voting as he did
when they, within two weeks there
after, wheeled around and voted with
apparent gusto for a railroad subsidy
which was not wanted by the post
master general, and was therefore
said at the time, by the consistent
Democrats, to be simple gratuity from
the treasury"
General Butler does not fear the cry
Of imperialism and says that constitu-
tional government is in more danger
from demagogueism, socialism, anarch-
ism and such heresies and fallacies.
Said he:
What the south needs now more
than ever in it's history, is broad, lib
eral craftsmanship, which suggests
more than mere obstruction and oppo-
sition, conforming in all respects to
constitutional limitations; but getting
in line with the progress and develop
ment of the age. We are just emerg-
ing from the paralyzing effects Of re-
construction with all it's horrors and
crimes, and should turn our face to
the front and contribute to the state
and national power on all legitimate
lines. I believe McLaurin and many
other young men of the South are in
harmony with this course, and there
fore, his course has my approval. The
democracy, in my judgment. made a
fatal blunder when it permitted the
Republicans to appropriate to their
own use the questions growing out of
the Spanish war. The Democrats did
as much to bring about that war as
the Republicans, and should have
claimed their share of its results and
consequences. For myself, I am re-
joiced that the crust of our national
isolation has been broken and that we
can take our proper place among the
nations of the EARTH"

4 painful silence followed these
words. for no one offered to speak.
The men exchanged significant
glance among themselves. then looked
at Sim in serious thoughtfulncss. To
them his threat signitied more. much
more. than he suspected. 1t impressed
itself so indeliblj' en- their minds that
they never forgot it. and on an after
occasion they recalled it with sicken-
ing dread that made them shudder.
