The annual product of currants in

There are hints from Paris of the

The outcry against the brutality of

his patriotic stand he had been coE-
suited on certain occasion. A wiser
man. truer patriot, and more kindly
Christian gentleman never occupied
the White House than Mr.. Mckinley.
The appointments recommended by
him were good ones, for the best inter
est Of the State. He had no nepheWs
commissioned in The United States
army; no son drawing large salary
travelling this tateatthe governments
expense, manipulating political affairs
for him.
The only way the "bosses" could de-
feat him would be to have him ruled
out Of the Democratic primary, and he
dared them to refuse the white men of
the State an opportunity to express
themselves on these great questions.
Mr.. MCLaurin declared expansion
was the bedrock Of Democracy. He
poo poohed imperialism. Bryan had
as much chance winning on thatlssue
as a Split-foot bullfrOg of kicking all
the water out of Lake Michigan. He
defended his position on the ship sub
sides, declaring Southern Senators
subsidized the Southern fast mails;
every town in South Carolina had sub
sidized one or more railroads or cotton
factories. Mr., Sewell, who was MIR.
Bryan's political partner IN 1896, was
an advocate Of subsidies. He de-
clared he would not be turned from his
course, conscious of the absolute un-
selhshness Of his purpose, because
some political wolves were bowling on
his track.
Senator McLaurin spoke TO a large
and representative audience and
was frequently applauded, particularly
when attacking Tillman's bOs ism, de

To the active outdoor life and the
honest toll that were his daily por-

of 81. Step by step he rose IN the
service and in the esteem of the great
Hudson Bay company until he became
one of its most important factors.
He has been a member of the
house of commons, and he did not re-
tire from political life until his
seventy-ffth year, when he was ap-
pointed high commissioner for Can
ada. His services to his native and
to his adopted country had been so
valuable that in 1856 the queen con-
ferred upon Donald Smith the order
of knighthood, and in the next year
he was still further hOnored by her
majesty, who made him Baron Strath-
coma and Mount Rayol, of Glencoe in
Argyll, and of Montreal in Canada.
