Columbia special Of March 6, to
the Greenville News: John L. Nc
Laurin, Of Bennettsville, made the
definite announcement this morning
that he was a candidate for governor
to succeed Governor Cole L. Blease 1t
has been understood for some months
that Mr.. McLaurin would make the
race but this morning was the nrst
time he authorized the definite an
nouncement that he would be can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for governor to be elected at the COM
ing primaries. Securing the Demo-
cratic nomination Is equivalent to
election. The political career Of the
gentleman from Marlboro is one
which hardly has an equal in the po-
litical annals of the nation. In the
prime Of young manhood when the
Tillman wave swept over the state in
1890, Mr.. McLaurin was one OF the
principal lieutenants Of Capt. b. K:
Tillman and stood high in the ranks OF
the "reformers." He was regarded
with political honors. AS member OF
the general assembly he took part In
shaping legislation under Governor
Tillman. He was then elected attor-
ney general and from there went TO
congress to represent the sixth dis
trict. He was oppointed by Governor
Ellerbe to fill the vacancy in the Unit
ed States senate made vacant by the
death of Senator Earle, and at the pri-
maries Won the nomination and was
elected for the full term, becoming the
colleague of his old time leader, Sena-
tor B. R. Tillman. How Senator NC
Laurin and Senator Tillman drifted
apart because of the espousing of the
So called commercial Democracy by
NnT tn final l.
nation of their troubles with person
al encounter on the floor Of the United
States senate is recalled in South Car
olina. The death of Senator j. 3. Green
left a vacancy in the state senate from
Marlboro county in 1912 and Senator
McLaurin was chosen to fill out the
uneXpired term. He soon took lead
ing part in legislation and through the
session of 1913 and the one which
closed last night he occupied promi-
nent places. One of his best known
measures was the proposition to form
state warehouse system for storing
and grading cotton and this was pass
ed by the senate with a provision for
a referendum to be held at the next
general election but the house killed
the bill. The day the senate decided to
refer the warehouse bill to the people
Senator McLaurin said his colleagues
had forced him into the race for gov
ernor. The announcement Of Senator
McIaurin makes ten avowed candi-
dates in the race for governor, the
others being Railroad Commissioner
John G. Richards, Solicitor R. A.
Cooper, Representative w. c. Irby Jr,
former Representative L. ]. Browning,
Professor John G. Clinkscales, Mr..
Charles Carol Simms, Speaker M. L.

A Dallas newspaper prints a state
ment to the effect that there are not
enough good cotton seed in the state OF
Texas to plant this years cotton crop
Col ]. w. Allison, a prominent seed
crusher Of Dallas, is quoted as attri-
buting the trouble to the incessan'
rains that fell during the picking sea-
son, and as describing the situation as
quite serious. 1t is said that condi-
tions are almost if not quite as bad in
Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. A
great many leading cotton planters in
Texas think that unless the agricul-
tural department is able to locate seed
the Texas crop Of this year is going tc
be short.

While the attitude Of that Gaffney
alderman who has resigned rather
than yield to the pressure brought by
friends to do things that he does not
consider for the best interest Of the
city is commendable, it would seem
that it would be better for him to hold
on to his job. Every public official is
subjected to pressure to do things that
he ought not to do, and too many of
them yield. What Gaffney wants and
what every other town that would
progress along proper lines wants, is
officials who are strong enough to
withstand pressure at the hands of
their friends, as we'll as pressure at
the hands Of their enemies. The busi-
ness Of a public official is to discharge
his duty to his constituency as a
whole, regardless Of the likes and dis
likes of those who seek only achieve
ment Of their own interests.

Various opinions have been express
ed as to the effect Of the governors
veto Of the provision Of the appropria-
ton act for borrowing money upon
which to run the government after the
ordinary funds run out next August
Some seem to believe that things will
naturally dry up after August, and
others think that there is plenty OF
authority outside Of the bill on which
to borrow all the money that may be
needed. 1t is not unreasonable to as
sumo, however, that since the matter
involves very important consequences
to the governor, he knew what he was
doing or thought he did. Maybe II
will be just as we'll to wait till the
time comes and see how it will al
turn out.

system Of marking, whether by letters

selves in favor of the letter system. A
number Of other problems were dis

High School Boys be Kept in School,?
Various ways were suggested and per.

seemed convinced that 1t was next to
impossible to have the boys go to
school until graduation.

Another Coxey march on Washing.
ton has been commenced, this time
from San Francisco. A crowd Of mer
left that city few days ago and reach
ed Sacramento, on Saturday. After
reaching Sacramento the marchers
numbering about $500 in all, fell ou,
among themselves and went into sepa-
rate camps. They made demand or
Governor Johnson for transportation
through the state The governor re.
fused transportation, but offered them
work, which they did not appear tc
want. The National Guard companies
stationed in San Francisco, were put
on notice to be in readiness If called
upon, and arrangement were made tc
suppress disorder. The opinion Of Gov
ernor Johnson is that there is no nee6
for any demonstration on the part OF
the unemployed, as throughout the en-.
tire country everybody who wants tc
work can get all they can do. There
has been considerable agitation in New
York during the past few weeks
among the so-called unemployed
who are insisting on sleeping il
churches because they claim they are
unable to sleep elsewhere. The author
tiles regard the demonstrations as
purely artificial and are not willing tc
recognize them seriously; but on the
contrary are arresting the disturbers
Many of the agitators are found tc
have more or less money on their per-
sons. On being arrested a few days
ago one man was found to have
about 5000 in cash in his pocket. There
is very good reason for believing that
most Of the demonstration has beer
stirred up for political purposes by
people who would try to make il ap-
pear that the Wilson administration
has been a failure in that it has
thrown thousands out of work and
been productive of hard times gener-
ally.

Newspaper Men and Confidence

Newspaper Men and Confidence
Judge Hand, Of the Federal court OF
New York, has a white elephant on
his hands and is making frantic ef-
forts to get rid Of 1t. Recently the
shipping news reporter Of the New
York Tribune obtained a piece Of news
that the courts thought no one had the
right to give him and he and the city
editor were summoned to tell where
they got the news. With the typical
loyalty Of news gatherers they refused
to tell and were held in contempt Of
court, but this did not get the desired
information from them. They claimed
that the evidence might incriminate
them.
Then President Wilson came to the
rescue and offered them pardons for
anything they might have done, but
like "Jones's niggers" they had heads
had no power to pardon them for Of
fenses OF which they had not been
convicted. Judge Hand argued with
them that he had and cited cases in
point, but as they were the judge and
jury in that case. they turned down
the Judge and the president, decided
that the latter had no power Of pardon
under the circumstances and still re-
fused to tell where they got their in
formation. Thereupon the judge fined
them $500 each, but said they would
have opportunity to purge themselves
Of contempt by answering the ques-
tions before another grand jury.
The reputation these men have made
Is worth much more than one thous-
and dollars to the Tribune. The re-
porters and city editor will be able to
gather news from men who do not
wish to be known in connection with
1t. No one will fear that he may be
punished through their breach Of con-
fidence.
The case Of these two men is not un-
usual The average reputable newspa-
per man, especially If working for a
reputable newspaper will take punish
ment himself rather than violate
confidence and a case like this will
give the public so much confidence In
him that his value as news-gatherer
will be vastly increased.-Florida

Mr.. r. B. Babbington Of Gastonia, is
trying to establish an institution fol
the care Of crippled and diseased or
phans. He calls attention to the fact
that many Of the regular orphan asy-
lums are not prepared to handle cases
of this kind, and thinks that there
should be a specially endowed institu-
ton for such children. 1t is a noble
idea that Mr.. Babbington has in mind
and we predict that If he can get II
presented to the people he will do what
he is trying to do.
