EPEOPLE'S JO VOL ti-NO. 17. PICKENS. S. 6., THURSDAY, MAY 2, 19. ONE DOLLAR A YEA POIITICS IN THIS STATIv. McYaurin's Position as it Appears to an Outsider. Mr. W. E. Curtis, corresponient of the Chicago Record-Herald, who wajs recently in Charleston and othr parts of South Carolina studying the politi cal situation developed by Senator Mc Laurin, writes to his paper from Co lubniia his impressions of the case. le says: " The politics of South Carohina are in what may be called an interesting situation, but to appreciate the signi ficance one must take into considera tion a few events in history. Before the war South Carolina was ruled by what is familiarly known as the "plan tation aristocracy," a close and exclu sive clan which was aulocratic and in dependent. After the war came what is known as tile "carpet-bag'l period, when former soldiers and camp fol lowerp of the Union army organized the newly enfranchisedi negroes into a Republican party and controlled the oiles and the finances of the Stae. These were overthrown by force-a political revolution. Senator Tillman says, " We bhot 'Um, we scared 'ei, we cheated 'ei, and we drove 'eiii away from the polls." Then the ex soldier came into power, the "Confed crate brigadier." Nobody could get an oice or exercise any influence un less lie had served in the Southern army, and if lie had left a leg or an arm upon the battlefield or carlried the marks of the conflict on his person his influence and position was advanced. During the rule of the "Confederate brigadier'' the Farmers' Alliance was -organized and Senator Tillman emerg ed from obscurity to become the politi cal dictator of the State. lie has been an absolute monarch. His will has been law, and the great voung mass of the Democrats have stood by him and obeyed his orders in a most re iatkable manner. Neither Bryan in Nebraska, nor Croker in New York, ) t nor Gorman in Maryland, nor Ilanna in Ohio has ever had so complete and unquestioned authority as Tillman. The old aristocracy, the commercial clement, tile manufacturers and other people of means have been opposed to Tillman and his Populistic ;o'ey, but he has preferred their opposition to their support because it has strenigth aned him with the "woolly hat" ele ment in the country, as lie rural vo ters are termed. But this opposition 1 has never organized. It has realired t that it was in a hopelass minority and i that resistaIc3 to Tillman was useless. The Republican party is practically t extinct. The negroes no longer vote i and the whute Republicans. are so few I in numbers that they are only able to C fill the Federal oflices. They have V maintained a nominal organization for I' the sake of sectiing recognition at 8 Presidential conventions and in the dis- a tribution of patronage, and have not 1 encouraged anyone to join their party because of fear the new comers mght r seek oflice. I This was the situation in South Car- I olina last winter when Senator Mc. 8 Laurin, a young nan of good family, excellent character, unq lestioned in tegrity, but limited ability, took an independent stand in national legisla- C tion and gave his hearty support to the I policy of the Republican administra- 1 tion. It was not a new thing for Mc- r Laurin. EHe was in the habit of voting ~ with the Republicans now and then c and against his own party on the tariff ~ and~ currency qjuestions, bo0th ini the 11 house of Represeiitatives and ini the ( Senate, but had never gone so far be- t fore, and had sup~ported1 Bryani both in 1896 and 1900. McLaurin comes from I the southeastern part, of the Slate, where his family are planters, well-to- 1 do people of Scotch-Irish ancestry. It, is saidt that he was originally intended -for the ministry, but dIriftedi into the a law, was electedi to the L:egislattiure, apl- I pointedl Attornecy General of the State, I was sent to Congrsss to fill an tin exp~ired ternm and formally elected at< the next campjaignl. lie pleasedl the people and gainedl Tillman's confidlence< so that when -there was a vacancy mn the United States Senate McLaurin was appointed to fill it and b~ecame a: i candidate when the election occurred. Tillman prieferred ,Johin Gary Evans for his colleague in the Senate, but as the fight was between two of 'his fol lowers lhe kept his hands off. The more respectable element of the State, the business community, the professional men and oti'ers who were interested in the result supplortedi Mchaurin be cause they conisidlered him the better man of the two, in character, ability and in all other respects. McLaurin - had been on both sid1es, however, more or less. H~e had failed to sustain Till man several times, and although no pledges were exactedl from or offered him dutring the campulaigln of 1897 lhe knew, and T'iliman knew, and the anti Tiliman element in the State kniew, that lie desired or exp~ected to lead or at least to become a figurehead for the latter faction. In other words, he was taken up by the anti-Tillmani clement to break Tillman, and Tillmnan's sup-) porters called im i contecmptuously, " Curly..Headed Johnny." .When Mcbauirin got iinto the Seiiate lie and Tillman had very little to (10 with each other. They were merely friendly, and each watched the other with suispicion. McLaurin was in fre qiuent consul tation with representatives of the Manufacturers' Association and1( other organizations that ignored Till mani, and was looked uipon as their representative. Whenever legislation vital to the Republican Intecrests or strongly desired by the administration was punidinig McLaurini habitually votedl with the President's party, which catis ed some comment. It was understood by the Republican leaders that his vote could be deponded upon when ever it was needed, and as a matter of reciprocity the President and the members of the Cabinet accepted his recommendations in appointments to oflice and other olicial matters in South Carolina. Last spring Mr. McLaurin notified Senator Jones, of Arkansas, that he should not attend the Denocratic can cus any longer, because he was not in sympathy with his party upon soliC of the primcipal issues pending, and to avoid embarrassment to himself as well as them preferred to remain away. When the commotion occasioned by this announcement was at its height he made a speech at Charlotte, N. C., be fore the Manufacturers' Association, in which lie defined his position. Mr. McLaurin's announcements and the circumstances attending them cre ited a great sensation in South Caro lina, although they were not unex pected. Taken with the fact that sev -ral young and active men who had fornierly been Diemocrats were ap ?ointed to Federal olices upon his re .omiiendation, it was properly assumi 3d that lie intended to revive or at east re-establish the Republican party ii the State. This lie denies, although nany of his lieutenants have ineau iously admitted it. It would be in ossible, h)wevcr, for Mr. McLaurin ust now to burn his bridges behind im an(id declare himself a Republican, >ccause he could not then be a candi late for re-election to the United States 5enatc. It is the custom here, where there is mnly one party, to hold Dcmocratic oriniaries and vote for all the candi lates to ollice. This is a sort of pre iminary election. Any man w%'huo vants to be Governor or Senator or ,onvressmian or hold any other gift of lie Democratic party has his name laced upon the ticket, and in August It Democrats are allowed to vote f-jr heir choice. The Diemocratic ticket t the ensuing election is made up of lie candidates receiving tihe highest, umber of votes at the primaries, and lie State Legislature unaniinously atifics the choice of the party for a Jnited States Senator so expressed. L'herefore, if Mr. McLaurin should ormnally withdraw from the Demo ratio party he could, not be a candi ate for re-election to the United tates Senate at the primaries, and no no would vote for him in the Legis iture. Hence lie will be compelled L remain nominally a member of that arty until the election is over. The Tillmanites or regulars propose o read him out, of the party andi make impossible for hini to be a candidate y adopting a resolution at the State onventioi providing that every man rho goes before the people at the pri aries shall pledge his faith to the upport of the platform, and then make platform denouncing expansion aud dvocating free trade, free coinage at ixteen to one and other Populistic rinciples, which it is notorious that [cLaurn does not believe ini. This iould be a good thing for several ra ons, although it imuight be rather pain ul for McLaurin. It would bring the 3sue squarely before the people and make a light on the principles and not ni the main. It is believed, too, that [cLaurin would be much stronger if e forces this issue than if lie tries to eturn to the Senate by the back door. Ic admits that lie favors p)rotectioni, xpansion, a single gold standard, subt idies and other Republican dloctrinies, nd, if lie asks all the p~eople of South ~arolina who agree with him to cast heir votes for the candlidates for the acgislature who arc pledged to support Limf for the United States benate, the cal sentiment of South Carolina will Tbch other candidates .for the Senate rill be Representative Latimer of the icventh district, who is supphosedl to ave TIillmaii's supplort, and D~aniel S.

Before closing this article, I wish to i ay a few words about Southern Piies id ud(1 Piiiehurst, two typical Yanukee fi owiis, that have been built by North- i ri meii ats winter resorts.

The fever of speCculaition ~ ittacked all classes, from United States Senaators to mnessenge r boys. There vas ia good dleal (doing inl theC bucket shop1) inl Washingtoii, ats well ats ini Watll Street, last week. The WVestern Seinator mentioned is iot, considered a speculator by any imeanls. IIe is regarded ii the United States Senate as a "Ilohman"' of that body. It will be recalled that lRe plresentative Ilcolmani, of liudiana, wats locked upon as the watch-dog of the Treasury. This Western Senator is a mnemiber of the approprlutions comi imittecc of the upper Ilouise. ie never loses sight of irbc fact that the country andh the treasury should be prIotected eithler inl committee cr ini debate. It, seems, therefore, rathier 0(dd that, this Senator, who is so anxious to keep dlowni governmentl applroplriations, lost, $75,000 Oin 0one deal ini a Washington btucket,-shop. 1i, is said thait, attracted by the spectacle of lapidly increasing prices, lie had goiie into the umarket,, dlealing on margins in the ollice of a Washlington bucket-shop, anid luad made(1 an exellent dleal, as he coni 8idleredl it, of *100,000O.

Wheni the crash cameui, ani 1-'astern Senuator end~eavoredl to "' miargiin" the Southwestern Seniator's deall, but as the amount was so great he wats uni able to do so. There was something like $200,000 involved. Thei~ per'sonail loss to the Senator froni the South west, who, as is well known, onmly draws $5,000 a year, madhe for him at one time the most extratvagant, deal ini his life. To-day lie is sorry; so is the Eastecrn Senator, who c Iedevored to carry his bucket-shiop transaction. It is st~ated in Washington, it, might 1)e addedl, that in governmnt depairtmients imainy pools had formed, inito which each member ,mut. from $25 to $100 for es. Senator Tillman makes the charge hiimself. Mr. Curtis, after quoting from the attack made by Tillman, and McLau rin's reply thereto, concludes: It will thus be seen that the two 8enators from South Carolina are still oil speaking tornis, and if the cam paign begins by an exchange of this sort of compliments, how will it end ? OF INTE-REST TO FARMERS. Methods Used at the Experimen tal Farm at Southern Pines, N. C. Having had an .occasion to make a business trip to North Carolina, I em braced the opportunity to visit South ern Pines an d mado a thorough exam ination of the work being done at the Experimental Fa-m of the North Caro. lina State Ilorticultural Society. The farm is situatel iear the city of South ern Pimes, in Moore county, North Carolina, sonC sixty-six miles south west from ialeighi, on the Seaboard Air Line. This location was selected principally on account of the line 1 Climate and soil, both most favorable A for experiments. The soil has proved I to be well adapted to the growth of t graIpes, peacles and other fruits, and I within a few years the region around I Southern Pites has become quite an t important fruit growing district. The I land is level and uniform, and tius t well suited for the cxtensive scheme of ( lield experiments conducted by the I society. The area of -the farm is sixty- I live acres, with the addition of the V vegetable department, consisting of lifteen acres. All the work from the 1 tlearing of the lantl, down to the pre- t sent time, has been very exact and -1horough. The principal object is to letermine by series of actual expelri nents on the farm, the best quantities I id relative proportions for using tihe arious fertilizing substances in o1der t A) produce the largest crops at the least u .xpense. No commercial brand of fertilizer is a ised, but fertilizing ingredients are t mniployed i various combinations. l'he work that has been done and s .ider contemlplation is so vast, th at it :an be well said, and is said, to be the I nost extensive and scientific experi- c nental farin i the world. Two series i )f investigations arc iov being con- e lucted, one devoted to vegetables and I leld crops, and the other to fruits. t l'he series devote(l to pears (Keifer) o vere set out in 1896, eighteen trees to 1 he plot of one-tenth acre. As an t lust ration to show the vigorous growth A the different plots, as the results of o he different combinations of fertilizer t I., n'"rcolient, ,.iagi yc u art- in I).... it the top of a flight of stairs, looking a lown it the bottom step, the top step epresculs the plot fertilized with a -omplete fertilizer, nitrogen, 1)110- I horie acid and potash, with a liberal t juantity, the bottom step denotes the i1 ilat unfertihized, nothing but the natu .al ft rtility of the soil, the intervening iteps, those plots that havc rcccived ertilizers of various comnbinitions and y inoun' s. This illustration well an swers for the appearance of the series 3 vithl peaclies, apples and plums. Thie series of plots devoted to grapes were let out inl 1895, one-twentieth of an tcte to each plot. HIIere some extra t inc work has been (lone, not only uhowmig the effect of dliferett for ms of ~ ilant food andl in ifferet-nt quatitmtties, ~ ut the different, ways of pruning and I 'ormu of ti aining the vine. The vines arc hiow cut back to the groundl in order to try a new method >f tr-aining. One featur-e of the work lotne at, the fairm is that clippings of oneos and other wood growth of trees with specimens of fruit, andt vegetables n-c sent, to the laboratory for analysis. Ser-ies of experimlents have been made with strawberrties and redl raspberr-ies, but the soil (10es not, seem to be well idapted to these fruits, there-foi-e, they have b)ecu abandoned, but will be re iumedl again with irrignation. Ser-ies of experiments are being made with Austin's Impr-oved and Lucretia dlew bcrr-ics andl futll ser-ics of blackberr-ics. iiE v IOFETAnHLE- DEPARiENT1. in this dlepartiment, exper-imnents wecre not fully under wvay att the time of my visit,. Series of experiments will 1)e made this season with aspai-a gus, corn, Spanish peaniuts, artichokes and sweet potatoes. Of sweet p)otatoes therec was gi-ownl on one measured acre (;30 bushels of matrketable potatoes at, the fiarm last season. i'The society is now contemplating puttting in ani irri gatioti planit andl bring the water in iron pipes from a distance of over a mtile, storimg it, in a reservoir, holding over one hiudred thiousandl gallons; when the plant is finished they will experiment with dliferent ways of irrigation. Thie object, of these exp~eri ment that have been made and those that, are being made, is to show the comparative fertilizing p~ower of dlif ferenit forms of plant food, also the comparative effect, of lime and green mantiring, or in other words, the plow inig undler of leguminous crops t~o fuirnish nitrogen and humus to the soil. Special attecntion is being~ paid to the studly of different, methods of resisting and treiating the attacks of ftungtis dis eases andl of insect pests. All the frunit trees on the farm hiive been treated with hydrocyanic acid gas for scale insects, which method has prov ed effective, but exp~ensive. The fruit andl vegetable growers thi-oughout, the United States ought to profit largely froni the resultsa of these experiments and work at the Experimental Farm. The results of these scientific ext periments should show to the farmer the most proper and economical way for chemical inrtilizar-a to be nan.Lnand All BILL ARP'S IDEA OF ROASI Pitt.
