|hsta Industrial Convention.

fefsState, and Industrial Con-
will be held at Augusta on the
2th of this month. The object is,
hounced, to encourage desirable
Migrants and capital to come South.
/. Tillman has appointed q delega-
bn to represent this State and it is
bderstood the Southern Governors
pill attend; 1t Is also understood that
&Bhe railroads are interested and great
Expectations of something practical
Lore entertained. The idea Of bringing
4 capital to the South to develop manu-
features and new industries as well as
the mineral resources acknowledgements
; is in the right, direction. To assert
that q sparsely populated country must
be a poor country is but to lay down q
truism. AS poverty is not to be de-
sired any more than riches, and it is
I well to get the just fruits of our labors,
in filing up waste places with q thrifty
population we enhance our existing
|brHIues-and create and develop new
ones. While we feel o natural interest
'in seeing our own section develop and
grow in fact as we'll as name to be the
Great South, naturally it would delight
u soul to see old Laurens on u grand
boom, increasing in population and in
dustries, singing q new song along her
bounding streams, wealth and intelli-
gence multiplying in every township
and all the evidences of an advanced
civilization in all her wide borders.
We cannot anticipate the plans and
measures that the convention will
adopt looking to the contamination Of
our hopes. 1t is reasonable that plans
will be adopted to widely advertise the
natural advantages of our section and
-mQre especially will inducements be
provided to attract to our fair fields
and valleys the new corners so earn
estly desired. But something practical
must be devised. 1t is not enough to
send out word pictures Of our prolific
soil and salubrious cline. We have
tried that experiment fully. No sec
tion has been more literally advertised
as to natural than South Car
olina. The history Of the State teens
with volumes from her earliest times
declaring her delightful cline and pro-
life soil. We do hope for something
from this new movement. In the
meanwhile we believe that from the
extreme borders Of our county her
intelligent population will lend
ready cooperation toward making any
reasonable scheme q success. 1t may
become necessary to form immigration
and Industrial societies in every county
in the State for cooperation and in
such case, the property holders
throughout L%aurens will readily join
hearts and hands.

Coxey was invited to dine at the
swell Glover Club of Philadelphia. He
was arrayed in a regulation swallow
tail coatand the latest fashionable fads.
The big dogs OF the club refused to sit
at table with him and he was enticed
away. So 1t would seem that the
dress does moi make the man.

There are registration laws in this

franchised, but you may want to vote
this fall and will have @ hard fight to

: The old mans pardon was eventually
begged. When the Alliance Catechism
was presented to Gov. Tillman he an
swered on the 18th of April, hat if
selected Senator he would consult his
conscience and vote accordingly. This
being unsatisfactory, after consulting
with himself until the 18th of May
he answers like a little man that
he will obey orders and vote for the
Alliance demands. So with all his
backbone he has found his master.
But the brave Governor dies very
tests; "except that l doubt the wisdom
or practicability of the Government
owning and running all railroads, tel
segraph and telephone lines" \ n X
E"The one essential point on which L
differ with the Alliance is the lending
of money to the people," So the Gov
,ernor gives us the play Of Hamlet
with the Prince left out.
Pat met Mike and invited him to
breakfast on bafe and p~raties; Mike
accepting said he was about to invite
Pat to the same repast barring the
bafe.
The probabilities are however that
the Governors answers will be held
suf1icient-being as how it is Tillman.
The small fry will have to swallow the
bait, hook and all.
Little boats must keep heal shore
Larger crafts may venture more"
