confusion and Inconsistency I'm the mark

As an instance OF this and really an
evidence OF the promising and trading

OUR SENTIMENTS.

There are many throughout the
State, and especially in this Con-
gressional district, who are anxious
to see DR.. j. VIM. Stokes enter the
race for United States Senator to
succeed McLaurin. We know of no
man We would rather see in the
United States Senate than DR..
Stokes, but we doubt the wisdom of
urging him to make the race. He
has been working very hard and very
successfully in the lower House-in
fact so hard that the arduous duties
of the Office have greatly impaired
his health. It would be great tax
on his strength to canvass the whole
State. Besides we need him in the
House of Representatives and he
can GO back there almost without
canvassing his district.-Orangeburg
Patriot.
The above explains our position
exactly. We had thought time and
again to write sentiments similar to
the above, but have neglected to do
80.
Doctor Stokes has done splendid
services as a Representative, not
only for his Immediate constituency
but for the State at large and his
usefulness in his present position is
not by any means ended yet, and to
carry on and accomplish the work in
hand it is policy, no matter how
much We desire to have him 60 up
higher, for him to be retained where
he is. Tne interests of his constitu
ency demand that he yet awhile
wear the harness as member
of Congress, which so admirably
fits him, rather than the toga OF
a Senator. Oar people appreciate
his past services and recognize his
worth and merit and would support
him for any position within their
gift, but it is we'll to let we'll enough
alone.

As matter of instruction Mr.. W. F.
Clayton Of Florence, S. G., has asked
that Senator McLaurin differentiate
his views and the views held by lead
ing Republicans. Senator McLaurin
has replied in lengthy article, in
which he reviews the history of the
two great political parties since the
foundation of the American Republic
and from this review he proceeds to
deduct conclusions which are sound
and logical and entirely in harmony
with the traditions of the past.

KEEP THEM FROM THE POOR HOUSE

The proposition to establish a
Home" for disabled G )nfederate Vet
erans is again being agitated in the
newspapers. The proposition is to
ask the General Assembly at its Dext
session to establish such a Home.
We arc of the opinion that the pro
position should not be seriously en-
tertained for moment. The present
plan of pensioning them, while not
free from flaws and objections, is
infinitely preferable. The old SOL
diers are fast dying out and those
who still survive are mostly aged and
decreped and bowed down by the
weight of years. They have always
lived independently and used to the
comforts of home and the ministra-
tiops of loved ones, and it would be
unquestionably wrong to them to
drag them away from those whom
they have been associated in one
capacity or another for a lifetime
and condne them in "Home," in q
strange locality and among strangers,
whose entrance bears the inscription
of charity" in thought if not in let
ters, and where the freedom of action
is governed by red tape and head
keeper.
Benovolence and gratitude would
suggest that these old war worn vet
erans be left at home where their
dying moments can be cheered by
the familiar countenances of loved
ones, and the sunken lids from whose
eyes the light Of life has been ex-
tinguished, closed by loving and
sympathetic hands and whose forms
can rest beside those of father,
mother, brother, sister, wife or child.
The State should continue to con-
tribute to their support as literally
as she can, but do not deny the old
soldiers the privilege Of spending tie
balance of their days in the quietude
of home, be it ever so humble and to
pass over the river with the last adieu
received from loving lips.

The Democratic voters Of the State
should remember that the Democrs-

questioned: that his public and pri-

he is toting his own skillet and is
swinging to no mans coattail. A
vote for Jones means vote for hon.
esty, integrity and the welfare of the
whole State.

INVEST YOUR MONEY.

We have watched every sign OF
Improvement that has appeared for
the development cf the resources of
the town and county of Lexington
with great deal of interest, and
have given every effort tending to
this end cur warmest and most earn
est support both in and out Of season.
First this and then that enterprise
has been considered time and again,
while others have been as often sug-
gested through these columns.
Some one has said, perhaps with
more truth than poetry, that 'famil-
iarity breeds contempt" and perhaps
it is this constant and daily contact
with the natural resources of Lex
ington that so richly abound that
has created within US sense of con-
tempt for them. We have failed to
properly appreciate the gifts of ma
ture and We have permitted them to
lie so long in their undevelopad state
unimproved that we have often found
ourselves wondering if anything
good can come out of Lexington"
We never realized that We have had for
centuries under our very feet rich
and inexhaustible store of as fine
granite as there is in the State and
that with the outlay of small
amount of capital and large expen-
diture of enterprise and industry
could be turned into a commercial
commodity that would be a veritable
gold mine to those who saw their
opportunity and improved it until a
corporation recognized its value and
now have made an investment and
are taking steps to develop their
property. There are other large beds
of granite within easy access to trans
portation facilities easily of develop
ment that only needs men of push to
take hold of them and make them
pay.
There is big money in nearly every
foot of the red hills of Lexington.
The clay contains all the necessary
elements for the manufacture of q
first class brick, and it can readily
and very economically be put in
workable condition. The rapid des-
truction of our lumber interest by
the saw mills and the steady advance
in the price of this commodity clear
" indicate that the builders will have
to use other material or building will
have to cease. Naturally we turn to
brick as that material and there is a
great and increasing demand for it.
Then there is an opening for the
establishment of cotton seed oil
mill plant with bright promises for
handsome dividends to the investors.
Tue time is propitious for the organ
ization of such company SO that the
plant can be placed as to handle
the coming crop.
We have an abundance OF fruits,
berries and vegetables and canning
plant would be success.
Our forest abound in woods suita-
bic for the manufacture of them into
merchantable articles.
There are mauy other openings for
the investment Of money that will
give large returns, and it is also true
that there is lot of money laying
idle in this county, which isnow only
dead capital to its owners to work
wonders if properly invested.
