Political Chaos.

Politically the white prople Of South Caro-
lima are all Democrats, there being several
divisions which might be aligned as follows:
/. Tillman Democrats.
.. Cleveland or Gold Standard Democrats.
3. McLaurin or Expansion Democrats.
4. Iudependant-Go-AsY ou-Please Demo-
Gratis.
5. Mckinley Democrats.
6. Orthodox True-Blu Jeffersonian Demo
Gratis.
I. A considerable lot Of Miscellaneous or
Unclassified Democrats.
We believe this is substantially the situa-
ton at present.
But, even II we have misconceived the par
ticulars 1t is perfectly certain that the dog
matte or inconslderate rule Of the TillmaD
or Populistic faction. and their total disre-
gard for the convictions or prejudtces Of a
large minority faction, has brought demorali.
zation and division, as above indicated.
Order must be brought out of chaos.
McLaurinlwill have a large following, and
and 1t is equally certain that he will have
strong opposition. But whether the people
approve his course in Congress, or disapprove
1t, 1t Is perfectly certain that we are on the
eve OF political revolution in South Caro-
lin. AS Tillman led in 1890, so McLaurin may
lead in 1909. Hampton held perfect sway for
twelve or fourteen years. Tillman has had
the State in the hollow of his hand for about
the same length OF time.
Naturally, the people tire of wearing any
mans collar.
While Tillman has not the hold on his fol
lowers that he once had, yet it is not to be
denied that he has strong hold on the peo
pie.
McLaurin may never have as great person
al influence as Hampton and Tillman bad
yet the principles which he represents are
living issues, and will sooner or later, meet
the approval of the people.
1t looks, too as ff Tillman would hurry mat
tiers up by making the mistake that Hamp'
ton made at the waning Of his influence,
namely: In proposing TO interfere with the
people in their choice for Senator.

Good thoughts are blessed gusts, and

and much sought after. Like rose

Out of the hardest experiences OF
struggle and sacrifice we get the quail
ties that are the brightest ornaments of
our character and the noblest elements
of out strength.
The treasures we hold now with

Ex-senator Butler.

II will be seen that Elk Senator NJ. G. Butler
fully endorses the action OF Senator McLau
rim in Congress.
When 1t is seen that the ablest and most en-.
terprising citizens OF the State, are in sympa'
thy with McLaurin, 1t is a little strange that
even the thickest headed citizen does moi
realize that there is difference Of opinion In
South Carolina.
Those tomtit politicians who can furnish
evlder CO OF doing nothing to advance the
best Interests of the country. assume to be
able to criticise men, any one OF whom has
done more for the development Of the State
than the whole crew of their assailants.

one of the honored Presidents of the college.
Mr.. Hayne McDill OF Abbeville had the max
