PEARL WANTS A S.MELTER.
Our Adjacent Mining District to

Lot Feltham, who has spent con-
siderable time this summer at
Pearl, where he has some excellent
says that the mine owners
in that vicinity are quite hopeful
that the Weiser smelter is going
to make it possible for the ores of
that district to be marketed at
profit. In the past ore of that dis
trict has been concentrated and
hauled to Boise and shipped to
Salt Lake. The transportation
charges have been SO high that
comparatively few Of the mines are
shipping. Those that DO have
concentrating machines, and re-
duce several tons to one. These
machines cost from five to twelve
thousand dollars each. The dis
trict produces what is known as
"wet" ore, and when smelted in
conjunction with the dry ore Of
the Seven Devils will aid mater
tally in its reduction. The Dewey
road will soon be completed from
Nampa to Emmett. The latter
place is but ten miles from Pearl
and the haul is a down hill one
Two dollars a ton will put the or,
on the cars at Emmett. If The
railroads will make low rate t.

from the railroads and the smelte

Agents of the Great Northen
and Northern Pacific in Wash
ington, Oregon and Montana are
contracting for shipment via Bill
ings and st. Paul to the metrop-
oils at prices 20 per cent higher
than a year ago. Commission men
and produce merchants from Chi
cago are also in the field, buying
up the available supply in anticip-
alton of a still greater rise in
prices and the opportunity to clear
up handsome profit. The large
eastern demand will advance the
prices of potatoes in the local
market, but as yet nothing like the
prices which prevail in Missouri
river territory has developed here.
Spokane commission merchants are
shipping every pound of the spuds
required to supply home consump-
ton, and in some instances no
attempt is being made to cater to
the local market. In southwestern
Missouri potatoes are retailing at
81 per bushel.

 Z "The Supreme Court of the United States, by a vote of to 4. has just decided that the possessions which come to us on account of the war with Spain are dependencies.

It is our duty to accept this decision and obey. hope in the fu- ture years, when our people are called upon to decorate the graves of our dead soldiers. that there will not be a divided opinion as to whether we are decorating the graves of those who died for the cause of humanity. and liberty. or of mereenaries fighting for the aggrandixement of their country and for this alone"

Charleston, s. C., May 3o.-SenatoR John L.. McLaurin issued an address to the people of the State from his home In Bennettsville today. He openn by saying that the recent address to the people by Senator TiIlman nakes 1t necessary that he should say some- thing in explanation of his motives and actions and that Had 1t not been for Senator Tillman's intrusion upon tho Gaffney meeting there would have been nb necessity for 1t. A joint debate was precipitated by bim contrary to my wishes and of the gentlemen who invited me-"
 He continues: T desire to announce my candidacy in opposition to the se- nior Senator for the unexpired lcng term and will discuss with him in a fair and reputable manner the na. tional issues Of the day and leave 1t to you to judge who can more honestly and honorabIy represent you in the United States Senate. In 1897 l. was elected to the Senate as a Democrat, and am still Democrat.
 The senior Senator charges that \ am a Republican and was organizing . Republican Party here, If he believed this charge why did he consent to run with me in Democratic primary? [ denounee the charge as an infamous falsehood.
 "He charges That the dispensing oe the public patronage has been placed at my disposal and unlimited money is furnished me, by Republicans to aid Tn nA es.Ts rs.<<~ 1 nounce this as malicious falsehood
 The People Will Judge.
 'The people shall judge of our de- mocracy md not the senior Senator. Tlfe senior Senator Is addicted to making reckless and false charges. against oth- CTS which he never substantiates. An honest man Is always chary in charg- ing others with dishonesty; the thief often cries stop thief He Is an arp- bilious boss and habitual disturber of the political peace and harmony of South Carolina
 Senator McLaurin closes as follows: Fellow citizens, there will never be anything like unity ar nuietnAe a..zss. 6 our people until he is, reiegated to pri- vate life His incendiary appeals to class hatred and prejudice such as he made at Gaffney to factory opera lives. and his dictatorial spirit. hts ut- terances win keep up dissensions and discord in the State. With the aid of the people, I will make a heroic ef- fort to break down bossism, with it's train of political evils. and invite all good citizens to assist me to inaugu- rate an era of free thought, free speech and independence of action in South Carolina. The senior Senator, in the quietude of farmers life in Edge field County, could be viewed as a pitchforkless pigmy and blessing to the State."
