Congressman McLaurin is a
bright young man from South
Carolina. He went In with the
Tillman tide and was elected at
torney general of the State. He
has served several yearsin con-
gress. During the present session
he has made the most notable
speech that has yet been deliver
ed. Ostensibly he was arguing
for protection to Southern articles,
if We are to have taraff law. His
remarks, however, were all in
laudation of the South and the
wonderful advantages presented
by this section for comfortable
living. He gave statistics and a
great deal Of valuable information
which seems to have made a lodg-
ment in the nothern and western
mind, for the speech is having
the widest sort of publicity. 1t
was really a great speech for the
south and had no politics in it.
Such speeches will produce ten
fold the good for this section than
will come from three or four day
speeches on Spain's inhumanity
and Epgland's obstinacy.

1t is stated that Congressman
McLaurin's speech, which has
been the occasion of so much re
mark in political circles, will be
answered by Congressman Stan
yarne Wilson. The latter is quot,
ed as saying, in substance, that
Mr.. McLaurin's expressions have
been of assistance TO the Repabli-
cans, and that they have embar-
rassed the Democrats. We believe
that Mr. McLaurin could be re
turned to Congress from any dis
trict in the State on the proposi,
iion he has submitted.-Rock Hill
Herald.

ssThere is a tide in the affairs O,

"There is a tide in the affairs of
men, which taken at the flood
leads on to greatness" 1t looks
to the Sun as if McLaurin took
that tide. He has followed his
first speech which was a great
speech with d most clever adver-
,tisement of the South. Had he
made any other kind of speech
it might have fallen fiat; but the
second speech fits it to the first
and follows as much as a prompt
collection supplements a fine
sermon.
Our own belief is that when the
people of New England find that
the South is getting her share
of governmental benefits they will
come trooping down, and f6t our
part we shall be glad to see them
for in a short time they become
just as devoted to the South as
we are.-ECharleston Sun.

The preliminary arrangements
are being actively pushed looking
to the organization OF new COUNTIES
with court houses at Williamson
Honea Path and Mccormick. In
this matter there is some interest,
rivalry, for it is certain that both
Williamson and Honea Path can.
not get new counties, and it is
doubtful if Abbeville has the ter.
ritory to spare that will be neces
sary for both Honea Path and Nc
Cormick counties. Somebody is
likely to be disappointed

One of the best laws passed by
the last legislature is that one
which prohibits school trustees
from employing teachers that ale
closely related to any of them.
This does away with the job
hunting feature that brings about
the creation Of many new and
useless school district, and does
away with a vicious practice ip
many of the wealthier and older
districts. The public cannot be
imposed on by the trustee any
longer in order for the trustee to
provide a job for "my son or
daughter. r.n--Yorkville Yeoman.

There is going TO be a big rush of
travel TO Alaska when the season

There will be at least 80. 600 people who
will make the trip, aud the crowd
may reach twice that number.

as far as the klondike; many will not
get beyond Portland. In rush, such
as this will be, there will always he
persons who start out without sufii-

The railroads will take care of the
crowds without any trouble. All the

the trip will be made as comfortable as
possible. understand that there will
be enough steamers to carry the crowds
promptly"
