VIII discuss the best methods of teach
ing n those who are in charge are
we'll known educators and great bene-
fit will be experienced by those who at
tend. Laurens may seem dormant in
some things but she ''sure" is awake in
the educational line and the other coun-
ties OF. our State would find it to be a
good thing to initiate Laurens in this
line.-Honea Path Chronicle.
No indeed brother, there IS no such
thing as ''seo an" Laurens is an up-to-
date city, dont-cher-know. Laurens is
moving steadily on and will be the
Piedmont gem before she halts. Every
town IN the State had fifteen years the
go on her, and ten years back, her popu-
lation was under 800; now she kicks the
beam with $500 and there will be no
hating or growing weary. Stand to
the "manor born" brother.
Gen. John b. Gordon, of Georgia,
publishes q letter-that he declines be-
ing again a candidate for the United
States Senate for Georgia. Gordon
was q great soldier. He was u hero
OF q heroic age. He will live in his
tory. 1t was pitiful, Oh twas p%itiful,
the sight Of such q hero, lowering his
standard, four years ago. He had out
lived the days of heroes and fallen into
those of the Watsons. Young as he was,
he had better shuffled off this mortal
coil with Toombs, Stevens and Hill. But
he goes now and worthy of his better
self. We only regret that his politi--
cal ending was not like that of Hamp-
ton.
A dispatch from Memphis reads:
"Ben Tillman is most out spoken. He
rays the free Silver people would not
ahSc Christ if he was nominate8 on
S9rm." This-S1Il not 90
81 this State know
20 we'll this pure and good man. With
the halo of the traditions of this great
State following him in distant fields,
Tillman, the blessed and the pure,
would not so soon cast off their re-
formation spell. No, No; The repor-
ter is under the baleful influence of
some Columbia Ring; hypnotism is at
the bottom of it, may hap.

The Atlanta Constitution publishes
a talk had by one Of it's reporters it'll
Gov, Evans as he passed Atlanta en-
route to Memphis. The interviewer
makes II Governor soy that he was
not "bucking" against any OF the
Courts in the United States as he has
been reported in the State papers.
But people in South Carolina will con.
clude that "~bucking" is the vernacular
of the native Georgian and not that
Of the cultivated Aiken Attorney.
The old cry was "ffty four forty OF
fight" The famed $40" urge an equaI
division Of candidates for the Constitu
tional Convention. This is the plan anG
only plan Of peace. 1t is not likely tt
be adopted in Laurens. The Conserva
tives know how to stay out of the pri
mary and maintain their manhood ant
se~lf-respect.
II right reason ruled in this State
the Fuller Ruling at Richmond would
have no tendency to check the return
of peace and harmony among the
white people.
