WILL NOT BACK DOWN.
Senator McLaurin Demonstrates His
Views of National Pro-
gressiOn.

United States Senator McLaurin, of
South Carolina, does not finch under
fire. And few public men have been
exposed to fercer attacks than he has
experienced since he announced his
intention to forsake the Organized
democracy of the south, with it's in
tense Bourbonism, and come out for
progress and modern methods. He
has been abused as a traitor to his
party and his section, maligned, ridi-
culed and misrepresente in every way
Wednesday Senator McLaurin made
the first formal presentation of his
views on the national issues now oc-
cupying the attention of the people.
He spoke at Greenville, S. c., to a
large assemblage, including many
business men, lawyers and others. 1t
seems to have been an occasion of
more than ordinary interest, and the
speech was evidently regarded as one
certain to have most important re-
suits. Senator McLaurin spoke with
great frankness, and there was no
installing his meaning. In defining
his attitude toward the democratic
party he said:
81 say that any man, on domestic prob
lens, problems Of internal concern, should,
as far as possible, bow to the behests of his
party. If he cannot agree with his party on
questions of this kind he should, if possible,
find a party with which he is in accord.
assert, fellow citizens, however, that it is
almost a crime for any party to make great,
broad, nonpolitical American measures, in
vo1ving the political and commercial devel
Cpment Of the nation, the test of party
fealty. Issues essential to the maintenance
of the honor and prestige of the nation are
too vital to be relegated to the plane of par
tisan and sectional contention. Believing,
as l do that there are vital issues which,
growing out of changed industrial condi-
lions, are higher and broader than mere
party questions, I have, as your senator,
looking beyond the line marked by section
alism and partisanship, striven to promote
the material, political and commercial in
terests of our common country-for in so
doing I can best serve the interests of the
state of South Carolina
The senator by way of further expla-
nation told how, rather than create
trouble in democratic ranks, he had,
though differing from them as to the
wisdom of the course pursued, fallen
in line and followed the lead of ''Jones,
Tillman, Pettigrew and company" but
became tired of it, and finally forsook
them. Now he owes allegiance to no
democratic boss, and is supporting
only such policies as he believes will
promote the welfare of the country.
Logically, therefore, he is for expan-
sion, for protection, for subsidies to
American ships and for anything that
can advance the, commerce and pros
perity of the United States. He can
not be for them and remain a political
bourbon and Bryanite. And this is
sound and wholesome talk to south
ern people, who have, if possible, more
to secure through the maintenance of
these progressive policies than ther res
idents of any other part Of the coun-
try.-Troy Times.

A SUIT OF PAINT.
Primitive Apparel That Was Worn
When Mankind Was in Its
Infancy.

Writing "About Clothes" in ST. Mich
olas, George MacAdam sketches the
pedigree of the full dress of the present
day. Long, long ago, he says, when
mankind was still in it's babyhood, some
hairy lord of creation happened to glance
into quiet pool, and saw mirrored in
the water his own image. Comparing
himself with the birds and beasts, he
saw that he was plain and dingy; and
he became envious of the brilliant-hued
feathers of the birds, and the striped
and spotted furs of the beasts. One day
he discovered bed Of ocher. Sticking
his finger into this bright-colored dirt,
he saw that his finger became colored
like the dirt. No doubt he stared in
wonder for long while at his strangely
colored finger; and there gradually
crept into his simple mind an idea
which must have made him laugh for
joy.
"Ha, hal" he cried. 'Here's my
chance to give myself a new complex
ion-to make myself as bright and
gaudy as Mother Nature has made the
birds and the beasts
So he daubed himself from head to
foot with different-colored ochers until
he was bright and many-colored. This
covering Of ocher was the original an
cestor of the clothes which you and are
wearing at the present day.

cry out softly:

He rose and went to her.
"What is it, darling?" he asked, his
heart sinking.

put the letter into it's envelope and
held it down by her side. 'It really
doesn't amount to anything"

was still a shocked expression in her
face.

it was some artifce of Jeanne's Per-

his chair at the fire. His body felt as
heavy and lifeless as stone as he sat
down. She put her letter in her peck

"Will you not let me see your letter,
Blanche?" he found courage to ask.

it seemed to him that her mind was
far away.
"Wil you not tell me it's contents ?''
I'D really rather not, DEAR" she
said, and without another word she
turned from the room.
Unable to bear the suspense longer

Whether or not we believe in phre-

the face can the disposition be more &C.
curately read than from the lips, and es-
pecially the upper lip. Tho lower one
is less prophetic.

H. & Il. Beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Aug. 12.-Notwithstand-
ing Liverpool was indifferent, our mar
ket opened slightly higher, but de-
clined to on good rains in Texas,
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. Later, however. sensational re-
ports of crop damage in Texas occa-
stoned an advance of Z from the bot
tom. Near the close, though, the alb
sence of buyers caused easiness, and
prices closed practically unchanged
from Saturdays quotations. For sew
eral days past cables have reported an
improved demand from Manchester. 1t
seems this was predicted upon Chinese
inquiry which was stimulated by re-
ports regarding the increase of the
tariff, and there were some transact
tons where delivery could be promised
for September. There seems to be a
wide difference existing between yarns
and cloths. The former being generally
dull and the business executed is in
sufficient to hold values as low offers
frequently accepted making buyers eau
tious.
The continental trade advices con-
tinue discouraging. The New York
Herald, in to-day's issue, says:
Total estimated yield of Texas this
year on the present prospect points
lIOIH oBVOO,UUO 10 o,0UU,VUU DdleS' HS
yield will be about the average in
southern and eastern sections, but will
be below the average in Central Texas"
Traders have their attention riveted
on absence of rains now in Texas and
for the moment have lost sight of poor
trade and the favorable crop outlook in
all the other states. The four princi-
pal interior towns to-day received 1872
bales, against only n last year. 1t is
true that the bulk of same is old cot
ton, still 1t weighs on the market, and
as the new crop will soon begin to
move, it will require a decided in
creased spot demand to prevent a sag
ging tendency unless the crop in the
near future should meet with a serious
setback.

The Market Closes Fairly Active

New York, Aug. 1.-THE government
crop report had depressing effect on
railroad stocks at the opening and
some sharp declines were made, par
ticularly in Rock Island, Missouri Pa
cihc, Union Pacific and Atchison. The
selling continued pretty general

but fluctuations were unimportant un-
til near the close, when the shorts
bought all around and lifted the mar
ket substantially above Saturdays
closing price.
This movement was not sufficiently
explained, but there was a vague re-
port current that the steel strike was
settled. Large dealings were made in
the United States Steel stocks at the
opening at the first transaction in the
common, being 5000 shares at from AZ
to 421a. The fact that the strike order
was not obeyed in some districts
aroused a better feeling toward the
stock and it was in pretty fair de-
mand throughout the day. Final prices
for the common and preferred were
the best and indicated net gains, re-
spectively of rs and 2 points. Free
selling of Sugar attracted some atten-
ton, the price dropping four points. A
report was circulated that the presi-
dent of the company was seriously i'll
and professionals were also inclined to
put out short lines on the strength of
the forthcoming opposition plant. The
stock recovered points when the ill
ness of Mr.. Havemeyer was denied.
Peoples Gas showed no trace of its re-
cent liquidation and moved strongly
upwards. ending rs higher. Western
Union was unusually prominent in the
late dealings and improved materially.
The late upward movement in the
railroad list carried a number of stocks
UP from 1929 above the early low
prices with the improvement most
pronounced in Missouri Pacific, Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific, st. Paul and
Atchison. The closing was fairly &C
tive and strong.
