In fact 1t is said that Senators Of
both political parties have united in
recommending him.
The only obstacle to Sonntor Nc
Lnarin accepting place on the com
mission is that he would have to ra
sign from tho senate. He has two,
years to serve Of hia present term
and South Carolina people think
that he is reasonably sure Of re- cleo
ton. On the other hand the senator
is q firm believer in President Mo
kinley's expansion policy, and there
fore being somewhat out Of line upon
this question with the other demo-
Gratis in the senate, may prefer to 60
upon the Philippine commission,
where his services scould be utilized
to the advantage of the country.
The senator believes too that within
the next two years the country will be
nearly unanimous in support of Pres
ident McKinley's foreign policy
Already there is beginning to be somo
speculation as to who would succeed
Senator McLaurin in the United
States senate, if he should resign.
The Legislature being in session, his
successor would be chosen by the
present body. 1t was stated Thurs

to have his name quoted, that Gov

"NO Place Like Home"

II hate this litter low-roofed house,
This hill-bound valley home;
l long to- see the glorious world,
And md new scenes to roam!
"rhe sun just rises here. and sets,
The days are all the same;
There's nothing grand to do or see
And every thing is ta,ile."
Years passed. The boy Of restless heart
Had wandered far and wide,
Had tossed upon the ocean wave,
And climbed the Jungfrau's side;
Had journeyed from the Golden Gate
TO storicd Eastern lands,
And pitched his tent where Afric's
stream
Roll down their golden sands;"
Had glided through the Grand Canal
Meath soft Venetian skies,
And in strange northern lands had seen
the sun at midnight rise.
Through many cities grand and great
In wonder he had trod,
And on historic battle fields.
His feet had pressed the sod
He roamed through galleries OF art,
Aud palaces Of kings,
Aud filled his memory with store
OF rare and wontlrous things.
And then lie came to that small vale,
Content no more to roam,
And said: "There's not in all the world,
SO sweet place as Hone!"
