The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1895-04-23

XChauncey Depew, a learned railroad
gentleman, politician, poss-prandial
orator and New York gentleman at
large speculates that Hampton and
Butler may knock for admission into
the Republican household. Specuia-
ton don't cost anything and 1t is pure
innocence and exuberance OF the milk
of human kindness in DR.. Depew.
Hampton belonged to q race of fight
ers who landed in this country some
hundreds OF years backand stoutly bat
tied with the sayages for this goodly
land. HIS great uncles and aunts were
butchered in ~Spartanburg and are
there buried. In every war in which
this country has been engaged his faith,
ers were foremost for the honor of the
State. The Same may be truly said of
the Buffers. OF the sixty thousand
men the State sent to the front in the
sixties. these were recognized as the
brayest OF the brave and made their
honored leaders. They have always
fought with equal bravery in the ranks
of the democracy. They will die
democrats. 1t is true that q genera
tion has como in this State that knows
them not, but q generation will come
that will cherish their bones and to
high character and achievement the
lives of Hampton and Butler will be
the inspiration along with the story of
the lives Of Marion, Sumpter and Jas
per.

Douglas & Obear, Washington law
yers, recently of this State, are instit-
uting in the federal Courts proceedings
to test the validity of the States Reg
istration laws. Judge Golf, of the
Federal Court of Appeals has granted
a temporary injunction restraining the
Supervisor of Richland County from
exercising his office. 1t is presumed
that the Attorney General of this State
will represent Grcen, the Supervisor.
If the injunction is made permanent by
COTS order, on q hearing at an early
day, the case will be appealed to the
Federal Supreme Court and there an
end. AS we have said before and now
reiterate, the twelve labors of poor
Hercules were holiday jobs to the task
of the Attorney General of this State.
Hercules had broad shoulders like At
lasthe fellow represented as holding up
the little planeton which We are cutting
up high jinks.
Americans abroad had q dinner the
other evening at London. Minister Bay
ard presided and made o sensible speech
Eustis, our minister TO France, spoke
like a tall fellow in true provincial
style, rs a mar full Of himself and Of
something better. Now we may listen
to hear it remarked that he is taken
from too far South.
Murray, Treasurer of Aiken Coun-
ty, vas short in his accounts ST., 900.
On his trial for e~mbezzloment the Jury
concluded that he did not intend to
steal, IA beguiled of the money by
ihH lilCliuo, dlo aCCOfUlISl WHO
washed him with q verdict of not
guilty. Who appointed that fellow
to office? by the way; and who were
his friends?

Gov. Evans expresses himself in the
lightest terms OF the lawyers concerned
in procuring the Gotf injunction. But
this do esn't G with the report of the
employment Of council to help Barber,
ct al.

And now it is said Gov. Evans will
appoint Gen. McCrady as assistant
counsel to assist in defending our
registration laws before the Federal
Courts. And then an appropriation.

Honest people in North Carolina. a
populist so calls himself. He would lie
to call himself q democrat. Truth is
the parent Of all virtues.
