Congressman McLaurin has again
placed himself on record in the tariff
discussion. His last speech was a
wonderful exhibition of the resources
of South Carolina. As an advertise
ment the speech will do incalculable
good, because capitalists connt help
but be impressed with the showing
Mr.. McLaurin makes for his State.
There is one thing which the enemies
of McLaurin will not attempt to say
and that is, be is neglectful OF the
interests of his people. There is no
man in Congress who is more devoted
to the trust reposed in him than Nc
Laurin, which is shown by his con-
slant efforts in their behalf.

BUILD A FACTORY.

South Carolina is now numbered
among the cotton manufacturing
States, and in few years she will
be among the foremost in this great
industry. The tariff discussion in
Congress has brought to light that
this State is considered a strong COM
petitor with the manufacturing States
OF the East. Then why do not our
home people put their capital to-
gether and bring to US a mill within
the reach of our farmers whereby the
Gotten grown in this community can
be manufactured instead of having
the raw material shipped abroad.
if the business men of this county,
whether. they be merchants, profes-
sional men or farmers, would come to-
gether there would soon be in our
midst the humming of spindles as is
the case in the up country. If we
had a factory in this county every
man who raises cotton would feel its
benefit in the increased price they
would receive for the product. We
would like to see some enterprlslng
citizen take this matter in hand and
work it with determination to sue
ceed. 4 few years ago if some one
had suggested a knitting factory, at
once he would have been discouraged, !,
but let it be said in honor of Mr.. ".
Scott Haryin that he did not wait,
and with that nerve which makes the
successful business man he invested
his money, and the result has proven
boon to this town. There are now,
from the industry started by Mr.. Har-
win, not less than fifty people receiv-
ing employment and in short time
double the number will be employed.
Now, if others would follow in the
footsteps of our enterprising friend,
Manning would soon spread out, the
town would soon be filed in with
people from, elsewhere and property
would take q Jump.

In an interview with Senator Till
man recently, Postmaster-General
Gary gave him to understand that
terms of postmasters which are fixed
by law would remain undisturbed
until the term has been completed,
but fourth-class Offices which are
filed at the pleasure of the Postmas-
ter-General do not come under the
rule and that he will appoint Repub-
licans to these places as soon as suit
table applicants present themselves.
All the Offices in this county are
fourth-class.

In last weeks issue we took occa-
sion to express our opinion of Con
gresham Stokes for taking issue with
our Representative without coming
out in the open and delivering his
speech in McLaurin's presence we
made our comment without saying
what Stokes said, therefore, IN a
spirit of fairness, we reproduce bis
speech and give our readers an op-
portunity Of seeing the other side
Stokes clings to the old traditions
lust like some fanatics cling to any
other antiquated ideas and without
taking into consideration that co2dl-
tions change they continue to carry
the rock in one end Of the mill sack

During the winter of 1898, F. NJ. Martin,
Of Long Reach, West Va, contracted q
severe cold which left him cough. In
speaking of how he cured it be says: u
used several kinds of cough syrup but
found no relief until bought bottle OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which re-
lieved me almost instantly, and in short
time brought about complete cure" When
troubled with a cough or cold use this
remedy and you will not find it necessary
to try several kinds before you get relief.

years and Constantly grown in favor and

The sNews and Courier" Green
vile "News" and the Charleston
stPost" have been laboring very in
dustriously to make the people be-
fieve that Governor Ellerbe has been
guilty of deception, or to put it more
forceful, lying. The Governor has
made full, complete and convincing
statement as to his connection with
the Metropolitan police, and Mayor
Smythe has made his official report
to the City Council. These two dis
tinguished gentlemen differ as to
what took place between them and
the newspapers above referred to
have taken advantage Of that differ
euce 10 endeavor to place Governor
Ellerbe in an unenviable position. In
our humble opinion the Governor is
about as we'll known to the people as
either or all Of the newspapers and
we believe they will prefer believing
Governor Ellerbe's statement. It
may suit the purposes of a certain
class of politicians and newspapers to
keep up friction, and in this Metro
politan police matter it looks as if ii
is about the only bone that they can
gnaw upon. If they only knew what
the people were thinking about them,
we believe change of subject would
come quick.
We have no doubt that Mayo,
Smythe is honestly mistaken in bis
understanding of what took place IN
the executive chamber and we be-
lieve the Governor gives him credit
for being honest. The newspapers
however, would have it ''that there is
lie out" and the Mayor did not tel
it. All the same, the metropolitan
police is still on guard and very
likely TO be for some time to come.
