CcNc GRESHAM MC!.AuRiN. - The Aiken
1ri,cs his changed its editorial management,
ut not i 5 mode of trying TO misrcpresent
Congre ysman McLaurin. That paper, TO.
,-cti.er with n few others, for some reason
would like to get McLaurin out o. the re-
form ranks, and VIC can see no other reason
than the far of the senatorial contest that
will me up when Senator lrhys term
expires. Inc lUOpie throughout tHc Statc
have watched with deep interest the faith
full services McLaurin has rendered in the
lower branch tf the national Legislature,
and it is making the Aiken Times tremb!c
lest its idol Scnator lrby will be retired,
and the eloquent representative of the Sixth
d strict called To take his place. We do not
know whether Mr.. McLaurin has any amDi-
ton or desire to go to the Senate, but we do
know that were the people TO place him
there they would have no cause TO regret it.
The Aiken Times says that "the Manning
Times is trying in vain to stir up boom
for McLaur;n. What nonsense, Why should
we be trying to stir up boom for mau
who by his works has proven himself 10 Uc
what The PEOPLE ask of n publc servant.
McLaurin needs no booming from news
papers; the people are his boomers nnd ihcy
will continue to boom him regardless of the
slurs from men and papers that have "a>eS
to grind" If the papers now slurring at
McItaurin will truthfuily show where he has
been untrue to ii $ constituents the people
will investigate the matter and call him to
account, but they vii! not regard him un-
faithful for not being willing to sncczc when
ether people take snuff They dii not send
him to Congress to do that, ard they are
proud of him because he has the brain and
manhooi to speak out in meeting. .Nnn1y
