TERRELL'S BROTHER

"A
To the Editor Of The Journal:
In Monday evenings issue Of The Jour
nal Mr. Query. IN an attempted reply to
Mr.. Terreu's speech at Forsyth. and Mr..
HIli's caro- in Sundays Constitution. says.
among other things: II had received infor-
nation Saturday morning from friend
IN Atlanta through 4 letter. that the
Southern Railway company was having
a conference Friday IN that city for some
purpose with some q Mr.. Terrells other
political friends, and must presume that
this great change in Mr.. Terrell must be
the result OF directions as TO his future
course received from this conference"
This statement Is as untrue as Mr. Guer-
rvs PRESUMPTION Is violent. There Is
but one purpose Mr.. Query can have In
inserting IN his card the above untruthful
sentence. and that IS 20 prejudlce the can
didacy Of Mr. Terrell and give strength 20
his unfcunded and unauthorized statement
that 3Ir. Terrell represents certain corpo-
rate interests in his candidacy for gov
eruor. Either 'tseneral' Query has reck-
lessly or maliciously made a statement
that he nor his friend IN Atlanta" have
taken any pains 70 investigate and sscer-
tain the truth. OF else he has wilfully and
wrongfuIly represented as having occurred
something that not only did not take
place last Friday. but never occurred In
Atlanta or anywheFe else. Such a charge

has not even the remotest semblance Of
the truth. Neither the Southern Railway
company nor any other railroad. nor any
Of their agents or representatives met in

OF his friends.
Verify. Mr. Query Is hard run when
the visions OF his horrible nightmares be-
come his waking thoughts. and in his

hohgoblins pursuing and threatening him
IN the hours Of the day.
In the absence OF my brother and Mr..

the most emphatic fashion possible and
challenge any denial OF them. or proof 10

TILLMAN REPUDIATED BY
SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS

ANDERSON, s. c., May THE County
Democratic convention met here Monday
for the purpose of reorganization. 1t was
a walk over for the advocates of a new
deal in the party and they used it to the
best advantage. While the convention
could not be said to be organized in SEN
ator McLaurin's favor, 1t was admittedly
firmly set in it's protest against the pres
ent policies and organization Of the par
ty Its seal of disaPproval was set upon
Senator Tillman's intermeddling with state
politics as evidenced by its almost unanf-
nous support OF State Senator Sullivan s
resolution to which he spoke with tell
ing effect and with gloves OF.
Following is the resolution as offered
by Mr.. Sullivan:
Resolved, That this convention is op-
posed to any change in the pledges now
required of candidates and voters in the
Democratic primaries, and that the dele
gates from this county to the State Dem
ocratic convention to be held this month
in Columbia are hereby instructed to op-
pose all such changes"
1t will be remembered that Senator Till
man in a speech at Manning last month
undertook to outline to the state -conven-
ton the pledge that should be required OF
candidates before allowing them to enter
the primaries, and It was in opposition TO
this suggestion that the county convention
put itself on record today.
The utteraRces OF Senator Sullivan were
cheered to the echo. especially those re-
lating to what he termed the ''bugaboos'
imperialism. consent of the governed, etc.
He dealt upon the necessity Of the party
meeting new issues in business-like way
and with progressive. commercial spirit.
In the organization, the old regime was
reversed and the Tillman adherents elm
mated from the control of the party
machinery.

NJ LAURIN'S PEOPLE
DENOUNCE HIS
RECORD
PEOPLE OF HIS OWN COUNTY DE.
CRY HIS VOTES IN SENATE,
AND LAUD THE SENIOR
SENATOR.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May THE coun-
ty Democratic convention at Senator NC
Laurin's home, yesterday passed a resolu-
ton commencing the course Of Senator
Tillman and denouncing the record made
by the junior senator. A special to The
Observer from Bennettsville. s. c., says:
The county Democratic convention was
held today in the courthouse and was at
tended by a representative delegation
from the different townships. Colonel c. s.
Mccall was elected permanent chairman
and Colonel T. C. Hamer permanent sec
rotary, and subsequently they were elect
ed county chairman and secretary. Hon.
w. d. Evans was elected a member Of
the state executive committee from this
county. The following delegates were
elected to represent Marlboro county In
the state convention, which meets in Co
lumbia May 21st: w. d. Evans, j. ID.
Drake, T. c. Hamer, Levi Ivey, c. p.
Hodges, j. B. Green, T. /. Rogers and r.
M. Pegues. The following resolution was
offered by T. I. Rogers and was adopted,
with only two dissenting votes:
Whereas, B. r. Tillman and ]. L. Nc
Laurin, the two senators from this state.
have during the past two or more years
taken opposite positions and voted diner
entity upon many questions of national
policy. each claiming he is backed in hts
views by the people of his state. we deem
it time and proper that this convention
should speak out and declare the policy
of the Democratic party Of this county
upon the issues so raised. Therefore, be It
Resolved. by the Democrats of Marl-
boro county, in convention assembled,
First that we endorse the position Of B.
r. Tillman on all issues raised by and be-
tween him and j. L. McLaurin as repre-
scented by their votes in the United States
senate; second. that the course of ]. L.
McLaurin in voting for the ship subsidy
and imperialistic policy Of the Republican
administration is declared to be un-Demo-
cratic and subversive Of the fundamental
principles of the American republic as ex-
pounded and enunciated by the founders
of the government"
The convention was very harmonious
Mr.. Rogers made a short but strong
speech in support OF his resolution. The
selection of Messrs Mccall and Hamer as

The Real Difficulty About Coal.

(New York Worldly
Every one could get enough coal for
the present If it were possible to distri-
butte it properly. but this is Impossible.
is the explanation OF the acute coal situa-
ton given out by the selling agents Of the
New York, Ontario, and Western rail-
road.
All the known facts agree with this ex-
PLANTATION. New York city consumes
100 coo tons of hard coal per day in mid
winter. About 1900 tons is the daily
total of receipts in a normal season..
Fully that amount. so the coal roads and
dealers say. is now coming H. But that
is %. 600 tons per day less than the con-.
sumption Last winter it was an ample
6ailv supply, because the mass OF
touseholders had their coal for the whole
winter slowed away in their cellars since
the previous summer. This year the pms
were empty in November.
Equal distribution would remedy al!
..e trouble. The dealers generally. we
believe have tried to make every con-
sumner share and share alike. Selfish con-
s,1nlers have bafTled them in many ways.
MANY such have gone to a succession OF
and got half ton from each. or in the
aggregate five tons. Ten other families
have to go without the half ton that
would keep their fires going as the penal
ty of one such selfish consumers action.
In q closely besieged city the common
stock of food is doled out in rationS ex-
actlv as little to each lnhahitant as he
needs Death is the penalty of even
