Some Pungent Political Points and
Newsy Paragraphs fr1m the "Elm
City"
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1893-07-11
Farley N Irby.

The sensation Of the day is
the letter of Adjutant and Inspec-
tor General Farley denouncing u.
IS. Senator Irby.
The charges are of q most seri-
Gus misunderstanding upon Col.
Irby's personal honor as & gentle
man as well a%denouncing him as a
political failure.
IL is sufficient for the ADvER-
User to advise a suspension OF
judgment until the Senator states
his defence. 1t is unfair as well
as foolish for Tillmanite or Anti to
attempt to arrive atany conclusion
as to the merits Of the case until it
has been fully presented from every
possible standpoint.
So far as tho Ants are concerned
the dispute is of the smallest mat
ter imaginable anyhow and 1t is
not worth their while TO become
disturbed or excited about the re-
suit.
or course, 1t is ridiculously funny
to sensible people IN the outside
that two citizens, both eminent and
honored as "reformers," should be
caught in the wallow of a personal
controversy.

Tho Value OF O Military Training.


TO get the best possibilities for beauty
out Of training we must have all round
influences for good. Among these I
would place first military training for
youths. I say military rather than
gymnastic o turn verein exercise, be-
cause sound drill includes something of
these and adds the moral influence of
discipline.
In my opinion it would be for the
benefit Of the country, the family and
the individual If every mothers son
were obliged to pass q certain amount
of military service before he could vote.
The military training is the only one
nowadays which teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion Of the value
Of obedience. No training makes men
80 effective for every day use or leaves
them 80 alert, prompt and full Of re-
source. The adoption of military edu-
cation in earnest would leaI to the ad-
justment Of serious questions, physical
and national.
The merely useless mechanical part Of
drill which is mainly for parade pur-
poses would have to be dropped, and
useless schooling would have to be
thrown out.
A child taught to obey in the first
place and efficiently guided in study can
master the courses Of our schools in half
the time now spent. This by tie way.
The great POINT about military training
is that 1t enforces exercise for o pur-
pose, not merely for thesake Of exercise.

1t is hardly a rumor now but a
certainty that Mr.. Blount has re-
signed his position as Minister at
Honolulu.
The President is reported as
looking around for some efficient
man to send TO his place. We would
like the President to turn his at
tention In this direction and select
the Hon. John T.. Bacon of this
city. Mr.. Bacon has had an I'M
usually large diplomatic expert
ence both at st. Petersburg and
in South America. He speaks
French and Spanish and is thor
oughly conversant with Internal
ional law. Mr.. Bacon now has full
and f%attering endorsements from
the first men In our State and Ma
ton.
The appointment would be a
good one for Mr.. Bacon, it's true,
but it would also be a good one for
this country, and the position
would be filled, we feel sure, with
dignity and ability.-Colum6ia

How the South Has Stood the
Crisis.

Chattanooga, July 3.-An analysis
of the statistics of the business
failures in the United States for
the first six months of this year by
the Tradesman discloses the fact
that Southern States have with
stood the financial crisis better than
any other section of the country.
The Trademarks figures show that
while the total number of failures
in the United States was 16 Is per
cent greater for the first half of
1893 than the corresponding period
of 1892, in the Southern states the
increase was only one and three
fOurths of one per cent. The assets
of embarrassed firms In the same
period for the whole of the United
States increased 260 per cent.
whereas in the South the increase
was only 100 per cent. The liabil-
tiles for the whole country in
creased 200 per cent over the same
period of last year, and for the
South the increase was 100 per
cent.

obituary..

BLESSED are the dead that die in
the Lord.p They rest from their
labors and their works do follow
them.n
Mrs. Mary Jane Murff, wife of
Minos Murffof Beaverton, Laurens
county, died OF the Goth June, 1893.
She was q daughter of the late
John and Mary Knight, and was
born February 18th, 1929, and on
December 10th, 1874 she was mar
ried to Minos Murff and spent her
life in the community in which
She had been born and raised. She
was the mother of 10 children, 8 of
whom are still living and these to-
gether with the husband and
father are left to mourn their loss.
To her death came as q thief in the
night. In her usual health she
had returned from home from a
neighhorly visit, when she was
suddenly attacked and died in "a
few minutes from heart failure.
She had been a member of the
Baptist church at Poplar Springs,
for about 40 years. Her piety was
! not of the impulsiye, demonstra-
tive kind which would take king
dom of heaven by force, but her
religious convictions were deep
and her faith was grounded in
Christ, moving her to the constant
performance of those duties that
came within the sphere of wife,
mother, neighbor and friend.
Kindness marked her actions and
words. She has bequeathed to her
children an Inheritance rather to
be chosen than great riches, a good
name. In compliance with her re-
quest she was buried at Poplar
Springs. A large number of rela-
tives and friends attending gave
touching tokens of the high esteem
in which she was held in sobs and
tears and floral offerings. Rev. a.
G. Stepp, who had been her pastor
for % years at one time, performed
the funeral service.
Those that sleep in Jesus will
God bring with him. And we shall
meet beyond the river, meet to
part no more, in the sweet bye and
bye. FRIEND.

The Herald remarks that "the
ADVERTISER and its faction are
only in favor of prohi ,ition when
they think that, perhaps there is
some chance of making political
capital out of It,"
The Herald has no right to say
this. 1t is in a position to know
that the. ADVERTISER is ~squarely
opposed to prohibition.
The ADVERTISER believes the
dispensary law the worst form of
whiskey regulation because it in
vades individual rights and makes
the State a party Ito a venal COM
promise with vice." Therefore we
are ready for the time to accept an
attempt at prohibition as the lesser
of the two plumbers in legislation,
but what we favor is a return to
the old system.
When at the last State primary
the vote was taken directly on the
question of prohibition and no pro-
hibition and the former idea pre-
vailed, then the ADVERTISER hav-
ing participated in the election put
aside its preferences and Joined in
the demand for a p%rohibitory law,
believing that the verdict of the
people merited respect and that the
prohibition experiment should be
tried in order to determine the is
sue one way or another.
When the Legislature ignored
the will of the democrats of the
State SO expressed did the Herald
refrain from condemning it's I'M
faithfulness because IL was a Till
manitish body?

II, as the Herald asserts, "the AID
vERTIsER and It's faction are only
In favor of prohibition when they
think that, perhaps, there is some
chance of making political capital
out of It," why did not they seize
the opportunity to endorse prohib-
ition in the last campaign, when
the sentiment of the county was
1915 to $40 In its favor,-the trend
of which they could not but have
fOreseen before the primary?

Dreams OF Authors.

Who would imagine that the actual
sleeping dream Of an author could DO
used as literary material-part Of his
mental stock In trade? But this has
been 30.
They are Of little use for consecutive
narrative, although I have been told
that Mrs. Southworth derived the plots
OF some of her stories from suggestions
Of her dreams. AS q rule dreams fur
nish only situations or impressions which
are likely to be both subtle and intense.
Who does not remember some haunting
melody Of his dreams whose sweetness
moved him to tears, some glimmering
landscape, some strange and weird Jour
neying or faces that suddenly appeared
and as suddenly vanished in this quaint
borderland of the mind2
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" came, 1t is
said, from Mr.. S~tevenson's dream people,
and the intensity Of the impression pro-
duced by this fantastic creation would
suggest such an origin. But no moral
eense exists in the irresponsible region
of sleep, SO that the graver and deeper
lesson which the thoughtful reader must
draw from Mr.. Stevenson's pages must
have been evolved In his waking mo
ments.-Kate Fields Washington.

Who will fill the shoes of Capt.
G. w. Shell in Congress? There
is Colonel Stanyarne Wilson, smart
young Tillmanite, good speaker,
speaks loud, voted for Hampton
against Irby and author of the
magnanimous railroad bill. Then
there is General Hugh Farley, who
possesses a genius for anecdotes
and is well acquainted with the
genealogy of the cotton tail family,
besides being the deservedly ceIe-
brated author of a scheme whereby
the warlike militia force of South
Carolina may some day become a

Two Opinions About the
Dispensary.


Says us. Senator Irby in the
Piedmont Headtight:
"Our dispensary law is the best
prohibition bill ever passed, and
every discerning man knows It,
too. III it fails, It does not mean
prohibition, but a return to bar
rooms. The fight against IL Is pure
ly political. AS Is we'll known, the
State has gone to an expense of
about 100000 to prepare for this
business, and the Ants now think
that If they a prevent the vari-
GUS counties from establishing dis
pensaries, and thus entail a heavy
loss on the Taxpayers, that they
can use 1t as a bludgeon to fight
Tillman with"
Says State Senator Fuller in an
other column:
at IS Idle and vain to say that
politics lie at the bottom of the OPP
position to the dispensary. The
prohibition sentiment of the State
entertained by people of all fac
lions represents the opposition to
the ~dispensary..

air is Cool and Bracing,

out the entire territory 1900 feet in
altitude above sea-leyel, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent

en- without fear of distressful conse-

Returning Prosperity.

Mr.. David A. Wells, in converse
ton in Washington recently, express
ed his firm belief in speedy return
of prosperity. Owing to the failure
of Congress to take prompt action
upon the repeal BILL he said, the
country got in bad way, Business
men deferred buying their winter
stocks and money was boarded. Mr..
Wells declared that change is al
ready perceptible. Mills are start.
ing up all over New England and
merchants are in the markets buying
goods, and money bids fair to be
plentiful. He is of opinion that the
new tariff law should go into effect
not later than next July, so as TO
give the people time to judge of its
effects before the election. In Mr..
Wells Judgment the result of the re-
cent election did not indicate that
the people are dissatisfied with the
reform programme OF the democratic
party. Mr.. Wells is a profound stu
dent of the science of political econ
omy and a man of ripe Judgment.
The situation at this time seems en-
tirely to justify him in his ex yecta-
ton of speedy return of business
prosperity.

If there ever was time when the
so called populist party should have
exhibited its strength it was at the
November election. In the long de-
bate on the silver question in the
Senate it was the burden of the sill
yer speeches that the whole popula-
ton was ready to rise up for silver
and that in the South especially the
democratic party would be destroy cd
by the repeal of the Sherman bill.
When the election came the pcpu-
lists were scarcely noticed in the re-
turns and in most places only fgur
ed, or were entitled to figure, as
scattering" In Virginia the
populists and the republicans
combined were showed under
by $4,000 democratic majority.
In Ohio and Iowa the populist vote
was also ridiculously small in com
parison with the noise the party
made in the Senate and on the
