The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1895-06-18

condition. Tnee niust Dc an end, and
soon, of people bothering about the
rest Of mankind. Self preservation
n selfishness fortunately end the
bother. AT Richmond the Chief JUS
tice of the U. S., with one other gem
tleman clothed in Ermine overruled
Goff's decision, and set the Registration
laws Of South Carolina squarely on their
pins. This is we'll; it is in line with our
predictions; we have always been in fa-
vor OF States Rights; we only weakened
when socialism became rampant in
South Carolina and Calhounism was
kicked into the middle of the next
township. When wheat and corn and
potatoes were proposed to be made the
basis of q circulating medium, and
when the State wen into the Bar
Room business, we felt weak in the
knees and concluded that our education
lac been most wofully neglected.
Samps Pope, an aged, venerable and
sanctified R%eformer, one who we had
seen for four years cheek by jowl with
Ttllman, up to the eyes in Republican,
ism, rushed into the U. S. Courts to
have our Registration laws declared un-
constitutional. Only in Equity cases is
an injunction allowable; that used to be
b law; but we concluded that in these
strange times when the Governor of
the State is Chief Tapster and hands
around the X x x we might be old
fashioned and out of date. No Con-
~servatives in Laurens will care a silver,
having been ~disfranchised so long,
(practlcally) how the thing goes. The
conservatives, long for, pray for a
and want harmony among all our peo-
pie and If peace and harmony prevail
are willing to let the world wag. They
congratulate Gen. McCrady of Char
lesion, a conservative of conservatives
who made the argument for the State,
and are perfectly jubilant over the op-
.p%ortunity to pay their part of his fees.
And let her roll, If you please. They
deserve peace in the future, in Lau-
rens But they wilS not be fooled into
any more primaries, don't you know,
except upon q guarantee Of an equal
division of delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention. This is not hoped
for, counted on o! expected in Lau-
rens. To come down aat-footad to the
matter in hand, the Court at Rich
mond, held that the Court had no ju-
risdiction of political matters. And
there an end. We are inclined to
think hat Chief Justice Fuller was
right.
Senator Tillman returns from Mem
phis much sitter in the back and will
not help to carry out the division of
delegates arrangement, He is not op-
posed to it however. He is inc he
isn't, so to speak, and there is no telling
where he is at exactly. He is justified
In preaching the bargains for several
reasons: one that the ants rejoiced
owe COTS decision; and another,
Charleston honored Hampton lately,
a third that the Conservative Press
have been independent, don't you see.
The fact is, the antis are q faithless
set as he sees them and he is justified
In playing false likewise. Just as one
falling into company with thieves NAV
turn rogue. Governor Evans has also
been carrolled by aconvenient reporter
since he returned from Memphis and
the yells and huzzas Of the mob out
there still resound in his ears. He
thinks the Reformers can win against
all odds, tho world, the flesh and the
Devil and he wants to fight somebody.
No peace, no compromise. The lamb
has mudded the waters far down the
stream but the wolf drinks his blood
and gnaws his bones all the same.
The ruling in the registration case
at Richmond is the first symptom Of
sound sense shown in affairs Of South
Carolina In six years. III it were the
beginning OF the end of nonsense, not
to say barbarian, 'twere q consumma-
tion devoutly to be wished.

$4,000.
