Tho President and Cabinet.
'amily Pills arc the best.

Washington, September 20.-It
was stated on excellent authority to-
day that all members of the Cabinet
have accepted the re.appointmcnt
rendered by President Roosevelt.
The manner in which the President
made the tender rendered it impossi-
bic for the members Of the Cabinet
to take any other course, as they al
ready are in the positions and cannot
decline, but must resign their places
if they desire to leave the Cabinet.
Another feature of the relations Of
the new President with the last Adj
ministration became known to-day,
to the effect that Mr.. Roosevelt has
been fully advised and has approved
of the negotiations in progress rcla-
tive to the proposed Istbmian Canal
treaty with England.

wALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA. SEPT. 25, 1901.
What tho South Needs.

A speech of Mr.. John b. Glove
land, of Spartanburg, S. G., as to the
needs of the South contain some
wholesome information for Southern
readers. Mr.. Cleveland is a South
ern Democrat, but like McLaurin, he
is not one of the Bourbons who learn
nothing and forget nothing.
Cotton manufacturing offers great
future for tho South. The great
trouble is to find markets in which
to sell the manufactured goods. The
raw material is grown in the South,
and Mr. Cleveland says that it can be
manufactured as cheaply there as
anywhere else. But new markets
are not available, principally for lack
of direct steamship lines. Argentina
buys S16,000,000 worth of cotton
goods in q year of the kind manufac-
turcd in the South, but the United
States supplies only 100000 worth
to that country. The raw material
is transported from the South to
Europe, there manufactured into cot
ton goods and then sent to Argentina.
If a Southern manufacturer wants to
send his goods to Argentina he has
to ship them by way of Europe.
There are several direct lines of steam
ships from Europe to Argentina, but
not one from tho United States.
Hundreds of thousands Of tons of
coal arc sent from England to Argen-
tina every year which could be ship
ped just as cheaply from the United
States, excepting for lack Of ocean
transportation. If the government
would give the necessary aid Ameri-
can steamship lines would be estab-
lishcd to South America, and the
United States could supply both the
coal and cotton goods now sent there
from Europe. Some of those vessels
could sail with cargoes from South
America to Europe, and then bring
cargoes from Europe to the United
States, though coffee, rubber and
other South American products would
supply cargoes to large extent for
vessels returning direct to the United
States. But without steamships we
can never get that trade. Europe will
contiue to supply the cotton manufac-
lures and the coal to Argentina,
Brazil and other South American
countries which could better be sup
piled by this country.-Philadclphia

Senator McLaurin and the Anarchists.

Senator MoLaurin had the follow.
ing to say, few days ago, to the
Washington correspondent Of the
Charleston News and Courier with
reference to anarchy:
owe have a great country and we
should not only drive every anar-
chist out, but we should create a
healthful public sentiment which
will render it impossible for any
speaker or writer to disseminate
these dangerous doctrines. We
should 60 further and secure some
international cooperation. The
welfare of civilized society is SO
nearly identified now that it will no
longer do to seek to rid ourselves of
the most heinous class by dumping
them upon some one else.
"The great nations of the world
should establish penal colony, un-
der joint control, and then segre,
gate all these criminals whore they
can do no harm. We do this for
those who have that dread disease
leprosy. Does not the good of 80
ciety more demand that these moral
lepers be so treated2 ! Isuppose that
bill will be introduced at the next
session of Congress defining anarchy
and providing an adequate punish
ment,"

McLaurin and Mckinley.

Baltimore, Md, September 90
In letter to the Manufacturers Re-
cord, Of this city, United States Sc
nator John l.. McLaurin, of South
Carolina, tells of an interview he had
with President Mckinley during the
early days of the Spanish war:
"The President" says Senator
McLaurin, ''spoke beautifully and
tenderly of the Southern people and
of how he intended to use the power
and influence of his great Office to
reunite our country.
81 can recall the words, but who
can paint the earnestness and elo-
qucnce as, raising one hand on high,
he said Senator, by the help of
God I propose to be the President
of the whole country, the South az
much as the North, and before the
end of my term the South will un-
derstand this
"No wonder, as a true Southern
man, | loved and trusted President
Mckinley. | stood by him in the
Senate and elsewhere, and l thank
God that / did.
"Patriotic in purpose and puro in
heart, his noble soul is now with Him
whom the hate of man nailed to the
cross. Like Lincoln, who saved the
country, Mckinley, who reunited it,
dies a martyr to envy and hato."

A Close Guesser Wins $4,000.
[Grccnvillo Nows, September IL.

[Grconvillo News, September III
Col. j. Thomas Austin, of this city,
is the winner Of the first prize
S2,OO0-in the Atlanta Constitution
cotton crop contest.
The guess was made upon the total
cotton crop for the season of 1900
1901. Secretary Testers annual re-
port, which was issued in full Sep
tcmber 4th, puts the cotton crop at
1O,3S3,422, while Mr.. Austin guessed
10,383,416 difference Of only six
bales. Mr.. Austin's guess was num-
Der 9l,608 and was fled on May 30th,
together with 81 for subscription
to The Weekly Constitution which
gave him the privilege OF making a
guess.
The last issue Of The Weekly Con-
stitution prints Col. Austin's picture
together with a fac-simile of the let
ter containing his guess. Mr.. Aus
tin was in specially good humor
yesterday and his friends were con.
graduating him on all sides for his
good fortune.
Col. Austin is probably one of the
best known men in this county, hav-
ing been born and reared i'm Green
vile county. He has lived in Green
vile city for the past eight or ten
years. Shortly after coming to
Grccnvillc he was elected to tho
House of Representatives in 1874,
which position he held until 1880.
In 1886 he was elected to the State
Senate. In 1892 Col. Austin's friends
elected him to the position of Register
of Mesne Conveyance and he held
this position creditably for four years.
While holding this Office he was
elected to represent Grcenvllc coun-
ty in tho Constitutional Convention
in 1895. He was again elected to the
House of Representatives in 1900,
having polled the largest vote of five
candidates. He is chairman of the
County Democratic Executive Com
mittce and has been for three years.
