Encouraged by Mr.. Archbolds will
ingness to arrange the matter,
Senator AcLaurin promptly tele
sraphed Nr. Archbold. The letteI
TO Mr.. Grasty which was written or

ed by Nr. Grasty a day or two later
and then forwarded to Senator Nc

mails promptly telegraphed Mr.. Arch

day. Have delayed answering. hop

"Nr. Archbold is - e:aborately
polite as ever and explains his lrif-
ling delay ir answering Senator Nc
1.aurin's telegram. 1t is plain that MI.
Archbold is quite as anxious to ar
range the matter" to Senator Nc
Laurin's satisfaction" AZ Senator
McLaurin is to have the matter a.
ranged. The matter that Nr. Arch
bold was to arrange for Senator Nc
Laurin at this time was for the Stan
dard Oil Company to contribute WITH
its usual generosity toward Senator
AcLaurin's campaign for reelection.
We do not hear from AcLaurin again
until the seventh Of Nay, when he
writes Mr.. Archbold telling him OF
the progress Of events in South Car
GINA. Mr.. Archbold answers with
the following:
May sth. 1901.
Ny dear Senator:
have your kind favor OF the 7th
with the interesting enclosures, for
all OF which beg you to accept
thanks. We are intensely interested
in the courageous and praiseworthy
stand you have taken, and believe
that the general intelligence OF the
South, will support you in it. Indeed,
think it marks the beginning OF
a new era for the South.
For anything I know now I will BE-
here until about the middle OF June,
and will. Of course. be delighted to
see you il you call. I expect to go
away about the middle OF June for
a vacation Of a week or 80.
Very truly yours,
(Sigued) Jno. D. Archbold.
Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin,
Bennettsville, S. c.
Mr.. Archbold applauds Senator Nc
Laurin for the attitude which c1.GoT
ernor Evans had demanded wh'n
accused McLaurin Of ha mug the MOI
ey Of Mack Harvin jins::ng n LIS
pockets, and says I'VE are intensely
interested in the courageous ant
praiseworthy stand you have taken
Mr. Archbold as usual attempts to
for his adherents and pur-
poses the morality and mentality OF
the country, and assures Senator Nc
Laurin smugly that "the general in
telligence OF the South will support
him in it." Mr.. Archbold says
nothing about further campaign con-
tributions, but leaves an opportunity
for Senator McLaurin to express his
needs by saying, II will be here un-
til the middle Of June and will be
delighted to see you II you call"
Senator McLaurin did not call. but
he wrote the following letter.
United States Senate

Rennetsvllle, S. c..
Nay 20, 1902.
Dear Mr. Archbold:
have pushed the fight 90 visor-
ously that they called on Tillman..
met him at Gaffney and beat him At
his own game. I called his blun, and
now the light is for two seats IN the
Senate instead OF one. can beat
Tillmsn il properly and generously
supported. There is no time to loose
however. I enclose an account OF
both meetings for your information.
With kindest regards,
am sincerely yours.
Jno. L. NcLauriR.
Senator McLaurin has pushed his
fight vigorously and Is reporting pro-
sress to the Standard Oil Company.
rillman has been called upon to rep
resent the people, ss usual. McLau-
rim reports that he has met Tillman
at Garney and "called his bluf".
And" continues AcLaurin, NOW
he fight Is for TWO seats IN the Sen
ate instead o. one" There is an op-
nortunity for the Standard Oil Com.
pany to get Tillman out of the Senate
with his old-fashioned ideas about
the rights of the people and his an
archistic hostility to tho control OF
government by criminal corpora
lions. The Standard Oil Company
will, OF course, be interested in de-
feating Tillman and in gaining two
seats in the Senate instead Of one,
ard Senator McLaurin proceeds to
explain how it can be done.
There are conditions which must
be met. There are necessities which
must be recognized. I can beat TiIl-
ean.' SAYS Senator McLaurin, II
0roperl7 ana senerousl! supported.
McLaurin will put up the fight If the
Standard Oil Company will put up
he money. But the Standard Oil
"omo.nv must act generously and
promptly too, for, continues AcLau.
rim. there is no time to lose.'
