1t Is time for the town Of Lau-
rens to undertake something grand.
Because we have succeeded in
gaining excellent railroad connec-
lions, it will not necessarily follow
that our town will become the cat
lanta of South Carolina"
These roads place US in a position
to make our town whatever we
desire. If, as sensible business
men and property owners, we can
be content to allow advantages to
pass ~unhceded; If we labor under
the delusion that the growth Of our
town Is assured without efforts on
our part, then we must not be sur
prised to see ever cross roads sta
tions loom up and become formi-
dable rivals.
Our location entities us to large
trade, but it is not the position, but
the men that make a town.
The poet tells us: "Fling away
ambition" yet
"Without that,
Tho world would be n thickly settled
mud"
He who enters upon the voyage
Of life, believing that the tide will
watt him on to greatness, is apt to be
discouraged when the calm comes
and HIS true manhood is put to the
test.
Life Is not q dream, but n
reality; and in these days of sharp
competition and rapid advancement
the aggressive spirit of thu age de-
mands stability Of character, and a
flxed purpose oachieve something,
as prerequisites to C Ambl-
tIon need not lead M to look with
scorn npon our lot nor to seek some
other field Of labor, but it should
make US feel, that in whatever avo-
tion destiny has placed us, there
Is an eminence to be gained.

THE INAUGURATION EVENT,

On the 4th inst, amongst the utmost good
order, without guardsman about his per-
son, with feeling of as perfect safety as any
civilian in his rural home, the President
elect OF the American Republic will, in the
presence of many thousands, have ad-
ministered to him the oath of Office OF Chief
Executive, for four years of Nation OF
$4,000, 00o people. This entirely peaceable
installation of the new Chief MAGISTRATE is
the more striking since it celebrates, also,
the retirement from power OF a party which
has dominated public affairs for twenty four
years and the sscendenoy of its rival through
all these years. What an admirable system
government, and what well poised people
ours, that political revolution such as this
should have been accomplished with.

the stoppsge of wheel in the yast
machinery of government. 1t is a scene for
Nations to look upon. Another country
tban ours, with PARTY feeling running sc
high and party vote 80 nearly equal, might
have had turmoil and bloodshed. There
were eyil-minded men in the defeated party
who. with their motto of "claim every
thing" would have precipitated the country
into trouble could they thereby have carried
their ends. But behind these was the sturdy
citizenry of thirty eight States shaking its
honest head and saying, Claim what is the
right-claim no more The press OF the
lard, Republican Save few unprincpled
ard rabid sheets as well as Democratic,
echoed in 10 uncertain tones the voice of its
yeoman clientage: "Claim what is the right
claim no more" The filibusters, seeing they
could not dupe the honest masses of even
their own party, retired shooting popguns as
they fell back. Gradually the country has
been warming up to the Inauguration day.
Thousands of Republicans have passed from
silent acquiescence into cheerful acceptance
of the result. And Wednesday will witness
multitude gathered within the capital city
from every section of the Union, Republic
cars and Democrats inspired by national
pride, wishing for the new occupant of the
White House four years of healthful and
successful administration.
