There was once a dispute as to
whether cotton or corn was the real
American king. While the dispute can
hardly be said to have been one of the
entered prominently into that conflict.
In later years there has been less dis
cussion of the matter and 1t has been
pretty well agreed that they should
jointly occupy the throne. King Cot
ton is getting more and more power
full and important with passing years
and consequently increased prosperity
is coming to the South, and also to the
cotton manufacturing section of the
North. There are seldom failures or
rumors of failures of the cotton crop.
Not only is there a great home market
to be supplied, but there is a great and

cotton exported more than in any
previous year. but the total value of
cotton and it's products exported aver
aged a full million dollars for every
day OF the year. This is more than the
value of any other single export. more

Mclaurin vs.. Tillman.

Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
has written a vigorous reply to the
state Democratic executive committee
which. on July 25th. adopted resOlu-
tions condemning his policy and call
ing for his resignation 1t is caustic
and pointed. and will give the pitch
fork statesman fresh cause to air his
favorite oaths. Senator McLaurin
says:
Personally, / am indifferent to your
action because nobody has made you
my master or censor. and l regard
what you have done as merely express
ing the malice and the fears of one in
dividuaI. Senator Il. II. Tillman. But
for this always evil and indecent in
huence, ordinary respect for the
prophecies would probably have pre-
vented the four of you who are my
declared competitors for the seat now
have the honor to occupy from at
tempting to use the power intrusted to
you by your party to remove rival
form from your path.
Il shall ask the people to decide
between the man who has tried to help
cotton factories. open highways of
commerce and to so commend the
Democratic party as to command for it
the confidence and respect of the bust
ness and laboring elements North and
South. and the man whose conduct
and record have been to sink the party
to disrepute and impotence. I shall
cl- 70 uhethay thav nrpfar
the Senator who has tried to retain for
South Carolina the honor and dignity
won by long line of illustrious sons
and glorious deeds or the Senator
who has postured as buffoOn and bully
and who proclaimed on the floor of the
Senate that he represented con-
stituency of ballot box suffers and
murderors who wanted their share of
the stealage.
Il desire to proclaim to the world
that YOU do not represent the intelli-
gcncc. the Democracy of the people of
South Carolina, and to you and Sena-
ator Tillman that he has never been
my master and shall never be: that he
shall not escape the vengeance that
must surely fail upon him when the
people have been made to understand
his motives, his methods. his debased
character and his shameful record.
To that grand conservator of free gov
eminent, the reserved patriotism and
common sense of the people. / make
appeal. against partisan intolerance
and tyranny"
Were this appeal made to New
England constituency there would be
no doubt as to the outcome: but. I'M
fortunately. it is directed to the in
habitants of IL state where the gem
ciai average of intelligence is vastly
lever. Tillman himself would be an
impossibility in a New England COM
munity. not because we are wholly
lacking i'm men of his type. but because
We have never made a practice Of Sc
lecting for public and representative
positions.
McLaurin is vastly the superior OF
Tillman in culture, breadth of view
native refinement and intellectual
grasp. His defeat in the contest he is
now waging would be national
calamity for it would mean his re-
placement with another Tillman.
The intelligent and patriotic citi.
Zens Of all parties will. therefore, unit,
in the earnest hope that. in the con
test which he is now waging he ma,
prove victor.
