Mr: r jaw ftArffiUL TILLMAII AI1D M'LAUBIH RESIGII THIS ACTION THE RESULT OP A DE BATE IN GAFFNET, 8. C. MclAurin Says Tillman Made a Bluff and He Called Him The Two Now Before the People of South Carolina tor Vindi cation. Columbia,S. C, May 25. Today .at Gaffney, there was a spirited debate between United States Senators B. R. Tillman and John L. McLaurin. As a denouement, both of them have put their resignations in the hands of Gov ernor McSweeney. They have resign ed with the understanding that they are to go before the people in a joint canvass and the sentiment of the peo ple is to be expressed in a vote in a Democratic primary to be held in No vember. The arrangement is sensational, for Tiljman was last summer elected for six years and McLaurin has yet two years. The result of the issue means that if Tillman is sustained, McLaurlh's seat will be vacant; if McLaurin is successful he will succeed to Tillman's long term. McLaurin has been Invited to Gaff ney, and friends of Tillman asked him to come.too. McLaurin accused Tillman of attacking him when Tillman is In a bomb-proof. The latter declared that he would resign and meet McLaurin on the stump. McLaurin agreed to the proposition. Senator Tillman later submitted a written proposition, which was accepted by Senator McLaurin, ex cept that the latter wanted the cam paign to be held in October and in No vember, instead of v this summer. Mc- Laurin stated - that this was suggested on acount of his poor .health. There were several proposals submitted be tweeen the two. Senator McLaurin wanted the race to be confined to Sen ator Tillman and himself. The latter declared that he could not dictate to the State Democratic Committee when the primary should held, or how many candidates there should be. ' The resignations as finally forwarded to Governor McSweeny, were accom panied by conditions. It reads: Sir: We hereby tender our resigna tions as senators for the state of South Carolina in the United States to take effect November 15th, next. Yours re spectfully, etc. ... Under the election methods in this 'state the State Pemratic Excutive Committet; will arrange a, campaign and the ttmdldWte jll speak in each of h forty counties of thfe state. At the ftr&iary election the candidate will be votet for. directly. The. campaign wi.N be pitched a year earlier, than ex pected, bur there are half a dozen can didates in th field. Each wfust7specify for whJcU terjfr he is a candaii. SENATOR. TILLMAN TLK3, Charlotte. & C Mjtf WAapeeiai to the Observer fro Cjftff&w S. C, says: senator immau oecu ou the train after the resignation had been signed and was asked what wduld, in a word, be the effect of the resignation. He replied: "It will mean that we are to have either two Republican senators or two Democrats." "Well.will you and Senator McLaurin enter the primary before the people for re-election ?" "I tan going before the people and there will be a number of candidates. I don't know what McLaurin will do, but I presume if his health will permit,that he will also run." "Vvi'.I you both run for the terra which you have just vacated. "Ho can run for either one. There is no restriction about that. The re signation is unconditional and he might as well run for my seat as his own." "Are you entirely confident of being reelected to ihe term which you have just given up?" "I see no reason why I ghould have fear as to the result. I have nothing personally against McLaurin. I merely want be people to decide the matter and vindicate me." STATEMENT FROM M'LAURIN. Atlanta. Ga., May 25. A special to the Constitution from Gaffney, S. C, says: Senator McLaurin, when asked about the resignation, sajd: "Tillman made a bluff and I called him, AllI desire is a free, fair and I open fight, on tne issues upon wnicn we differ. earnestly hope that all others will keep, out of our race and run for .the other senatorship, so that Tillman and I may meet as man to man and fight it out."

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN STATESVILLE COURT. One of the Jurors Spends the Night With the Law Agent of the Southern Affi davits From .Several Statesville People Read. For some time the case in the States ville court against the Southern Rail way, for the killing of young Ben Long at the University Station, last year, has been without special interest. Saturday, however, a sensation was created by the abrupt ending of the trial, on the charge that the jury had been tampered with. The story is told by the Statesville correspondent of the Charlotte Observer: Statesville, May 25. Mr. Piatt D. Walker concluded his speech in the Long case this morning at 10 o'clock, when Mr. Bason addressed the court. The judge intimated that he should charge the jury to find the first issue, that the deceased was killed by the negligence of defendant, as alleged in the complaint. Yes, in favor of the plaintiff, and the second issue, Was de ceased guilty of contributory negli gence, No. The judge intimated the evening before that he would so in struct the jury also, and after hearing Capt. Price and Col. Henderson.counsel for the defendant, an adjournment was taken until after dinner. At the convening of the court the judge stated from the bench that he had been informed by the plaintiff that one of the jurors, J. H. Brown, nad spent the night with J. A. Gorham, the law agent of the Southern Railwayed that this being admitted by the de fendant, as there was appearance of fraud, whether there was fraud or not, he would withdraw a juror and make a mistrial of the case.which was done. Whereupon, Mr. C. B. Watson, senior counsel for the plaintiff, moved for a rule to be served upon L. C. Caldwell, one of the counsel for the defendant ; J. A Gorham; the law agent of the Sou thern Railway, Company; J. Hl'Brbwn the juror; B. C. Deaton, another juror, ' and Ry A. Ramsey, to show cause why, they should not be attached for con tempt of court for tampering with the jury. He then read the affidavits of John. F. Bowles, a citizen of States ville; Geo. B. Nicholson, attorney at law; R. 13 Aramfield, clerk of Hotel Ire- - in x m ' 4fa&i-"np villa- T.ATkn P.lflVA a riHTi Af Srifds. f ueii; vj. o. lumun, a citizen oi states ville: J. A."

Bos hanier and R. V. Brawley. Upon the reading of the afladayts his honor issued the rule and signed the notice on the said L. C. Caldwell, J. A. Gorham, J. H. Brown, B. C. Deaton and R. A. Ramsey, to appear before him on Monday morning at 9 o'clock to show cause why they should not be at tached for contempt as above stated, and recognized Ramsey, Crorham, Dea ton and Brown in the sum of $1000 for tehir appearance on Monday morning. There was no denial of the fact that Gorham and Juror Brown had spent the night together in the same room in the third story of Hotel Iredell and that the lights were put out m the room immediately upon their entering it, and they remained ther all night together. The abrupt ending of the present trial created a sensation here. It was as though a volcano has burst when the matter was brought before the court and the afl&davits read.
