The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1896-02-18

to take his chances growing peas and
potatoes. Clemson is o State school,
organized not for farmers sons, but for
the youth of tho State who choose TO
pursue this noble ~ayocation. no matter
! whose sons they are and 1t should be
liberalfy supported by the State, and it
| will, we trust always share its lib
erality. A committee of n from
each county was appointed to visit the
South Carolina College, and DR.. Wolf
was appointed for Laurens. Mr..
Thomas had passed in a twinkling, bill
to turn 100000 Of D~ispensary profits
into the general treasury. This was
not a doubling Thomas, but q lively,
smart Thomas, pulling the Administra-
ton out of o deep hole. though he be
from Columbia and ten to one a mem
Der Of that famous Columbia Club, en-
dorsed for private use.
Finley and McCalla, respective
Senators OF York and Abbeville, have
developed benevolent dispositions to-
wards Charleston, demanding that q
bill pass for the inspection of meats
imported from abroad into cities Of
over 25,000 inhabitants. The Senator'S
from that city, Barnwell and Buist, it
transpired, were together on this Bill,
carnally agreeing, but when it comes
to "details" they are apart, but 1t did
not crop out on what points they split
blankets.
1t will be remembered that the
Legislature in 1894 refused to make an
appropriation for the Atlanta Exposi-
ton; Gov. Evans then underworld to
raise money bypublic appeal and failed
except in Charleston, in addition he
borrowed 100000 and sent o Mr..
Roche Of Charleston to Atlanta with O
State exhibition consisting of the dis
pensary. a grand collection Of fancy
liquors grown or manufactured in for
eign States. Now it is asked to appro-
pirate $4,000 to pay Gov. Evans and
though it is clearly unconstitutional it
is very probable that O handy Attorney
General will be found convenient to
torture the appropriation into the SOM
blance OF legality. We shall see. There
is trouble also over the fact that Win
throp College trustees involved the
State in twenty thousand dollars o.
debt and Clemson College $40, 900 and
all without authority of law. We are
good natured and forbear comment.-
Mr. War; made successful warfare on
the proposition to give the State Fair
$1,000. Mr.. War; foughtifed himself
with the argument that two of his
neighbors had been robbed at o State
fair, one of $l3 and the other of 1874. 90.
We are for War; on this issue. Our
~favorite hero, the immortal ''citizen"
of Anderson, struck into this debate
without gloves and hard knuckes. Here
is a taste, which shows the metal of
n Ajax, Ashley:
He was a citizen of South Carolina,
and was Al years Of age, but he had
never attended one of these fairs. He
was not much of o speaker, and did not
have q tongue to make a big noise and
accomplish nothing like his colleague,
Mr.. Watson. He wished to say further
oioL llS was uOU uISU vi Ou0 SlQ0 ana
then on the other as Mr.. Watson was:
Mr.. Watson jumped up aud exclaimd,
cts alie!"
Mr.. Ashley exclaimed "You're an
other" and proceeded with his speech.
Later o. he intimated that his 'friendn
would not go outside hat house and
say "you are q liar"
These champions subsequently apollo
gized to the House and to each other,
invoking the vanity and weakness of
the flesh. Comfy interviewed and
amity reigned.
The National Alliance at its meeting
In Washington struck from it's platform
the sub-treasury plank, the craze of a
few years ago. How many thousand
office holders got into the swim upon
this whim. Presently the ownership
OF railways and telegraphs by the gen.
eral government will go the way of the
flesh, and so of free silver; the proper
ty owners of the South will see the dan
ger of encouraging adventurous office
seekers with communistic tendencies
and a healthy Democracy rise upon the
ruin that they have wrought in their
train. Where are the newspapers that
four years ago so loudly and persistent
ly rent the air about this time for the
su~b-treasury, Thomas Watson and Mrs.
Leach?
w.
Gov. Tillman it is reported advises
this State to send simon-pure free sill
v~erites to the Chicago Convention,
chow about the editor Of the Spartan
burg Herald?) and If that Convention
fails to adopt a silver plank, with in
struction to bolt the Convention. So.
he should, as he would have no bust
ness in O Democratic Convention.
Head-level this time.
If you would always be healthy,
keep your blood pure with Hoods
Sarsaparllla, the One True Blood
Purifier.
