there are wide Emergencies of opin-

matter having been settled with
honor to our arms these questions
will come to the front and press
for solution. Mr.. Mckinley rep
resents in his personality
everything that the Democracy of
the country hos opposed and
fought against during the whole
of its life. He represents the
extreme school of high protection
to the manufacturing interests of
the country. He is the embodiment
of the Republican ideas of
Capitalization. He stands for
the monied and corporate interests
of the country as against the
people. These are living and
burning questions that must be
settled and will engage the atten-
:tion of the country until they are
settled and settled right, while the
war is already past and will be
more of dead past in 1900 than

and earnestly dissent from Senator
McLaurin's proposition to disband
the Democracy in view of Nc
Kinley's war record, for that is
what the proposition means.
DISARMAMENT and surrender is the
logic of it. We do not believe
the Democracy of the State and of
the country are ready f,r this, and
we opine that the next national
Democratic convention will be as
far from disbanding and surrende-
ing as any convention that has
ever met, and it will bu most likely
to take up the fight on the money
question where it laid it down in
1896. That was a bad break of
the Senator's and we must protest
against it. We cannot and will
not disband and surrender.

A. Cotton Convention.

President Wilborn, of the Cotton
Growers Association, has sked
for a convention of cotton growers
to be held in Columbia on the 20th
of September. Mr.. Wilborn and
those associated in the work feel
that the time is now ripe for action,
and, moreover, that something
car be done, consequently the call,
which is as follows:
To the Cotton Growers of South
Carolina: I have been requested to
call meeting of the cotton grow
ers to meet in Columbia, S. c., on
Tuesday, Sept. 20, 1898.
It is requested that every county
in the State send delegation to
this convention. The county Or
ganization in each county is re-
quested to meet and send dele
gates; where it is impracticable to
call q mass meeting the comfy
presidents are requested to see 10
it that delegation comes to the
State Convention. Where there is
no organization those interested
arc most earnestly requested to

The total losses on the Ameri-
can side in the recent war with
Spain including the army and ma
Wy, are as follows: Rilled, 279;
wounded, 1923. The losses of q
single division in either army at
Seven Pines, Gettysburg, Gaines
Mill, Second Manassas, Freder-
icksburg or Franklin, Tenn, or
any other great battle of the civil
war, exceeded the entire loss on
land and sea in the recent con-
hict. Anderson's brigade at Sev-
en- Plnes lost more than one-half
of the number stated above in
that battle alone. Jenkins Pal
metto Sharp Shooters lost 245
killed and wounded at Seven
Pines, and thirty days afterwards
at Frazier's Farm this regiment
entered the fight with 375 officers
and men, of whom 254 were killed
and wounded. Santiago and Ri

McMahan's Speech at Columbia.
Columbia, S. G.

Sixteen years ago, I left my
country home in Fairfield to en-
ter the college here. My mother
and my sisters came with me, that
I might not be removed from the
sweet and purifying Christian in
fuences which only the home cir
Gle affords, and which are essen
tial to the best education. I shall
ever be thankful to the Providence
that directed my life, and | trust
that I have been enabled to devel-
op a character and q manhood
that may be of service TO my
State. Since then, I have had two
homes, for my rural tastes could
not be eradicated, and at every
spare time I return to the scenes
of my childhood-the associations
that inspire patriotism and fur
nish the motive of statesman
ship.
Having passed from the COM
mon country school to the college,
I know how imperfectis the edu-
cation within the reach of the
average boy and girl in South Car
olina. You know the value of ed
ucation. We see men whose
sphere in life would be very diff
ferent if they had had education
al advantages. The individual or
the State that lacks education
equal to the best must take low
er position. Again, I have seen
families move from the farm to
the town for better schools for the
children. Columbia has become
"a Mecca of education, and coun-
try districts have been wasted OF
some of the best of their people.
Yet ours is an agricultural State
and in the future, as in the past,
South Carolina's greatness, if it
be not ended, must consist in the
noble manhood and womanho bod

A writer in the United States
Service Magazine points out that
the United States Government
has expended more than ten
thousand millions of dollars in
war. According to the same au-
thority England has spent in the
same time only about one-eighth
as much, while she has extended
her sovereignty all around the
world and confirmed her authority
over between three hundred and
four hundred million people. "The
figures" says the New York Tri-
bune, twill no doubt surprise a
good many persons, but there is
no reason to imagine that they are
far out of the way" And we are
just setting out on our career OF
Imperialism.

SENATOR McLAURIN'S POSI-.
TION.
(1reer's Record.

' I1ONs
Greer's Record.
We agree with the editor of The
Greenvllle Mountainoer that
Senator McLaurin mads a grand
mistake in his recent utterances
relative to President Mckinley
Mr.. McLaurin evidently forgets
that with all of McKinley's tact
and ability in the management Of
the war, he is immutably commit,
ed with his party to the gold
standard and high tariff, both
antagonistic to the Democratic
platform which Mi. McLaurin
processes to indorse. Besides
Mckinley it was who has appointed
negroes to importan offices in the
South. Yet our junior senator
advises Democrats to withdraw all
opposition ! to Mckinley and
unanimously support him. Mr.
McLaurin is evidently talking
withoutthinking, or has left the
DemucragIc party.

in the ears of his old Pee Dee con-

right, but because he was not long

Anderson Peoples Advocate.
Senator McLaurin has given
utterance to the opinion thai
"President Mckinley is the most
popular man with the masses
since the days of Andrew Jackson
and that he ought to be reelected
by acclamation." This is a very
strange utterance coming from q

Our well known townsman Mr.. Geo.
T. Light has in his bedroom a gas burn
er the pipe of which has recently seemed
to be INSTRUCTED by accumulation of gas
tar. Going there a few nights ago, he
turned this burner on, thinking perhaps
the gas would gradually force its way
through the obstruction, and then sat
down and read by a burner in the ad-
joining room, intending to turn off the
one in his bed chamber before retir-
ing. He unintentionallY neglected to do
this, however, and during the night
awoke under a sense of the presence OF
gas, and found that it had gradually
forced its way through the ~obstructing
gas tar and was escaping rapidly into his
room. The discovery was fortunately
made in the nick of time otherwise our
genial fellow-citizen would next morning
have been found locked in his room, as,
phyxicated, the gas turned on, and as
clear a case of suicide made out as cir.
cumstantial evidence could attest,
when such, in fact, was farthest from
his thoughts.
