STRAW
HATS.

w E have STRAW HATs-yeS' lots
of them-just any sort and style and
at any price you are looking for. We
have Straw Hats for the little fellows,
the bigger fellows, the older fellows
and the old gentlemen. Then, too, we
have an elegant line Of Hats in wool or
felt, in both crush and stiff hats.
Then, too, we forgot to mention it, we
still have hats for the ladies. Perhaps
you know that already-most every
body does know it-because everybody
almost, who has bought any millinery
this spring, has bought it from our
place. We wonder why? Do you? 1t
IL easy to answer that. It's because
our Millinery is NEW; our Styles are
minute; our prices-well, all
the ladies who have been here, say
they are the lowest ever offered in
Yorkville. That's why we are doing
the Millinery business of the county.
Good goods and Low Prices always did
sell goods. That's the way we do it.

WISE PEOPLE.

wv ISE people protect themselves
w against loss by fire by insuring
their Homes, their Furniture, their
places Of business; in fact anything
that is liable to be destroyed by fire,
and the list includes everything of
which wood forms a part, or that Is
near wood, with the possible excep-
ton of brick and stone, because these
are about all that is usually left after
a fire, and they have been damaged
from a commercial standpoint. 1t Is
my business to sell insurance and to
sell the kind that insures. Eleven
years experience has taught me ex-
actly how to write it to protect every
interest Of the insured. I represent
OLD, STRONG and TIME TESTED
companies. 1 would be pleased to write
your insurance. I have no other busi-
ness than Insurance. and therefore de-
vote all my time and attention to IT..

those I met, was Senator Jones. We
had a pleasant little conversation, dur
ing which Senator Jones asked me
whether 1 cared to be invited to eau
Gus on the ship subsidy bill, about
which there had been numerous eau
cuses. He explained as to how he felt
a delicacy in asking me about 1t, and
when told him that on account Of my
| irreconcilable views on the subject,
| thought it better not to embarrass my
associates or myself by attending these
J conferences. Senator Jones replied
that he respected my attitude and
that he thought I was entirely right.
| That was about all that occurred, and
I thought no more about the matter.
Returning to the hospital, I did
not go to the Capitol again for several
days afterward. Mrs. McLaurin was
still very i'll, and I was still giving her
my entire time and attention, to the
exclusion of politics. Joe Bailey, of
Texas, met me, and after an exchange
of greeting, made remark to this eff
feet:
"'Say, McLaurin, you are entirely
wrong about that caucus. I think you
are making a mistake I had no idea
to what he referred. except that posi-
bly, it might have been something that
had occurred in one Of our various con-
ferences on various questions, and
still not feeling inclined to talk politics,
I merely dismissed the subject with,
Think so, Joe?' and passed on. I had
a similar talk with Anse McLaurin, Of
Mississippi: but neither incident made
much impression upon me until after
ward.
"Three or four days later, I got
an opportunity to review the accu-
mulated newspapers and I ran up
on that Washington dispatch to
the Atlanta Constitution. and all the
big whirlwind that had been raised
about it. The whole thing began to
dawn upon me for the first time, and
sent out that denial that appeared In
the Columbia Record"
Senator McLaurin talked quite inter-
estingly about numerous other things
and told the story Of how the govern
ment exhibit was secured for the
Charleston exposition. He had been
Interested in the matter by Mr.. Bird,
of Charleston, and he disclaimed hav-
ing done anything at all for political
effect He remarked that he would
leave Charlotte next morning to carry
the exposition down to Charleston"
During the day, Senator McLaurin
remarked that it was his purpose to
make several speeches in different
parts of South Carolina during the
summer, and he suggested that unless
something should turn up in the mean
time to prevent, he would come to
Yorkville on the first Monday in June.
He was assured that there are a good
many people in this section who would
like to hear him on whatever subject
he cared to talk about, and about the
last thing he said to the reporter was.
You can depend upon it, that 1t is my
intention to come. have every rea-
son to feel especially grateful to the
people Of York county, and I want to
give them an opportunity to judge me
in accordance with my own testimony,
rather than from the standpoint Of the
newspapers"

McLAURIN IN CHARLOTTE.

There were quite q number Of South
Carolinians in Charlotte last Thursday.
Some were present as guests at re-
ception given by the Manufacturers
club, and others were there because Of
curiosity on account of the expected
launching Of a new party as heralded
by many newspapers throughout the
country. A representative Of THE
ENQUIRER was among the newspaper
men who we%e present because Of the
interesting natal event referred to,
and along with others put in the day
keeping his eyes open looking for things
and his ears open listening for sounds
But, as might have been expected, it
turned out to be useless trip. Except
to those who had been especially invi-
ted to attend the banquet Of the manu-
facturers, there was nothing Of espe-
cial interest outside glimpse of the ia
nous Minister WI, and social chat
with Senator McLaurin at his room In
the Buford hotel.
According to the arrangements of
the committee of the Manufacturers
club. Senator McLaurin had been book
ed for a drive over the city in COM
pany with the Chinese minister and
others, with a view to taking in the
various points of interest. Learning.
however, of the presence in the city of

distances to see him, the senator man.

turned to his room, where. for
two hours or more, he held an in
formal reception. The doors were open
to whoever saw proper to enter, and
the representative Of THE ENQUIRER
was one of the newspaper men who re-
mained throughout the morning.
The senator made himself as enter
tanning as possible, relating interesting
anecdotes and funny jokes, and refer
ring to politics only in answer to ques-
tions and observations by his guests.
The story of the proposed new Re-
publican party he referred to contemp-
tuouSly as an absurd canard, and
suggested that the best disposition of
that would be in the speech that he
had prepared for delivery in the even
ing. Some one asked the senator
whether or not it was true that he had
requested Senator Jones to strike his
name from the Democratic caucus roll

senator, with great positiveneSs. land
