A CONSPIRACY IN DETROIT.

One of the saddest stories that has
come to us in a long time halls from
Detroit which is somewhere close to
Canada, though probably situated in the
United States, and it is to the effect
that the railroads have determined to
have Senator Tillman defeated for the
United States Senate. 1t reads power
fully like the truth. The railroads have
always been terribly down on the Sena-
tor. Everybody remembers how they
have beguiled him to ride free on their
trains all over this country. from Ore
gon to Texas to Maine to Michigan and
back again and again SO that they
might have a chance to hurt him in a
wreck. There is no other reason on
the face of the earth why these wicked
corporations should have stuffed his
pockets with railroad passes.
Besides, it is natural that the rail
ways should wish to defeat the senator
because the senator has been so hard
on them. Why, is he not in charge of
the Railway Rate Legislation bill and

A NEGRO CONVICT

tured in Columbia.

The publication in The State a f9w
days ago of the arrest by the Columbia
police of a negro who gave his name as
John Blake" from Fountain Inn, Lau-
rens county, resulted in placing a con-
Wet back on the Laurens county chain
gang from which Blakely, alias Blake,
escaped two months ago. Deputy Sher-
if A. r. Sullivan had reasons to believe
that the fellow was the escape wanted
and after communicating with Chief
DAILY, Deputy Sullivan arranged with
Chief of Police w. S. Bagwell, VINO
knew John Blakely to go down and
bring the prisoner back to Laurens if
he proved to be the man wanted. Chief
Bagwell returned with Blakely We'd
nesday night and he was sent back to
the gang Thursday.
If the Columbia police had made closer
examination the fact that Blakely was
an escape from some changing would
have been revealed for he was still
wearing the shackle that he carried
away from Laurens in February. This
discovery was made by Chief Bagwel
between Columbia and Laurens.
Blakely was convicted of larceny a,
the January term of court last year ant
sent to the county changing for q
months. He had stolen a fine bicycle
from DIR. T. w. L.. Bailey of Clinton ii
the fall of 1904. Bicycles seem to be
Blakely's hobby but he does not ride
much until he is run in. Offering t.
sell a wheel at a price that gave rise t.
suspicion caused his arrest in Columbia
AS a convict he was one of the

counted for his escape from the gang,

that by the grace of Senator Nelson Al
drich, of Rhode Island, whose son mar
ried the daughter of John ID. Rockefel-
Ter and who owns a bunch or part of a
bunch of railroads himself? Aldrich
turned the bill over to him to spite
Roosevelt, SO they said. Yes, so they
said.
Moreover, if a conspiracy should be
formed by the railroads to defeat Sena-
tor Tillman the news of it would nat
urally leak out in Detroit. Why, when
the railroads combine to defeat that
friend of the people, Senator LaFollette
who lives in the neighborhood of De-
troit, doesn't the news leak out in Co
lumbia first? You know that, intelli-
gent reader. You a slip up to Green

EXCELLENT LEGISLATORS.

We wonder where one of our esteemed
contemporaries picked up the notion
that the Biennial Appeal" editorial
printed last week was antagonistic TO
the gentlemen, or all, now in the
general assembly from this county. We
always hesitate to pronounce eulogies
on the living and so we did not mention
them along with the great. men of
former generations but we challenge
anybody to discover a line or a syllable
in that strictly moral grind" limiting
or in%sinuating that u present Solons
are not quite as great as any set of
Solons that the sun ever shone on.
Here and now we wish to record our
selves as having an uncommonly high
opinion of these gentlemen, as indeed,
we have of all gentlemen, especially
gentlemen of u own county who are
sent to the legislature, and we can't
guess why anybody dreamed hat we
were chunking at them. Surely, surely
the notion has not originated in the
mind of a contemporary that our legis-
lators are not so great and that so
thinking itself, it unconsciously attri-
buted the saying to us? We hereby set
ourselves up as the champions of our
Legislators against critics. We have an
excellent set of legislators.
