We know of no better way of ans
wering Senator McLaurin's Republi-
can views than to quote Senator Nc
Laurin's Democratic views. In a
speech in the senate delivered in JAN
uary, 1899, he said: imperialism
means that we must beat our pruning
hooks into spears and be ready to wa
ter distant lands and stain distant
seas with never ceasing torrent of
American blood. It means never
ending strife with the nations of the
world" Again a colonial policy
means entanglements with foreign ma
TONS Again, hitherto our flag
wherever it has foated has meant free
dom and self government, battle only
for peace. But when raised over
conquered territories held as colonies,
it will mean tyranny and misrule, bat
tie for the sake of plunder. Again,
Gin commercial point of view | be-
lieve the Importance of the Philippines

s'to become a colonizingf power we
must abandon our Republican institu-
tions or be paralyzed by them. !"
Again, "the hand Of God may have
been in the war with Spain but l do
not feel that it is in obedience to the
divine will that we are pursuing ca

HOUND sTEALER CAPTURED.
Clarendon Convict in the Tolls Again.

Manning, May 21.-John Louis, a
negro changing convict, was captured
and returned to the gang yesterday by
former Guard Beauregard Harvin.
About ten days ago Louis made his
escape, and untying the bloodhounds,
carried them off with him. It was
feared that he would kill the dogs, but
they were recovered within few miles
of Sumter, while the negro got away.
He was making his way across the
Santee when discovered and captured.

Sumter, S. G.. May 81, 1901.

Sumter, S. G. May 27, 1901.
AS committee appointed by Game
cock Lodge, No. II, Knights of Pyth-
las, to draft resolutions commemorate
i've of our greatly esteemed brother,
A. D. Moses, we have taken the lib
erty of making a departure from the
sterotyped form of resolutions of re-
spect, feeling that in so doing we shall
best conform to the desires of our Ia
meDted brother.
Brother Moses, or as he was best
known by his friends, the Colonel,
has left place in our lodge that we
can never fill. We shall find some one
perhaps who will make as an efficient
Outer Guard. but we cannot find one
who can fill the vacant space in our
hearts affections. Never again shall
we hear that prompt response in the
old familiar voice, 1.-THE Outer Gurd
reports for instructions, never again
shall we see that beloved brother as
he presents himself to receive the
reprimand'' from the chair, never
again shall we hear that peal of laugh
ter that always came after the other
mirth had subsidized and which evoked
more glee than the original witticism.
We shall always remember his last re-
quest. "Please have me marked pres
ent, I'm too sick to report. !" Uncon-
sciously he was giving utterance to the
motto of his life, Whatever thy
hands fnnd to do, do it with all thy
might" He died working. His last
act was one of service, though scarce
ly able to drag himself to his place OF
duty. A man of sterling worth and
fixed integrity, it is pleasant for US to
feel that we have been so intimately
associated with him, and his devotion
should be an inspiration to every
member of this lodge.
We shall miss you, Colonel, miss
you greatly, but we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who
never makes mistake and when at
our meetings the Keeper of Records
and Seal shall call for the Outer
Guard, our hearts will respond: Alb
sent, but accounted for. -

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, May 2s.-The temperature
averaged nearly normal during the
week ending Monday May 81, and rang
ed between a mazimumsof 95 at Green
wood on the 25th and a minimum of
53 at Greenyille on the 21st. There
was deficiency in sunshine.
Excessive rains over the entire State
characterized the beginning of the
week, and general rains prevailed at
it's close. The amounts for the week
ranged from nearly two to nearly ten
inches, the former in the southeastern
counties and the latter in SpaEtanburg
and York, Counties, with an average
rainfall of A.68 inches for the State.
Bottoms were flooded and the crops
that were on them were destroyed !;
hillsides and tesraced lands we're bad
.ly1 damaged, eroded and quilted, and
the young cotton and corn washed up.
The Broad and Great Pee Dee Rivers
in. places rose higher than for many
years. But aside from the physical
injury to lands and crops by the exces-
siYe; rains, the moisture was needed,
and all crops were greatly benefited.
Hail occurred at many points, but
only in portions of Abbeville, Edge
field, Saluda, Sumter and Williams
burg Counties did it seriously dam
age crops. The ground was too wet to
plow during the greater part of the
week, and fields are becoming grassy.
Cotton is now quite generally up to
good stands, and chopping out is be-
ing prosecuted wherever this work has
not been finished, but cultivation is
needed. The rains caused a marked
improvement where the stands were
not destroyed, and poor stands are
now confined to early cotton that was
not replanted. In Oconee stands are
dying. Sea island cotton looks better.
but blight has appeared on it,
Corn on uplands has healthy color,
is growing, and stands are fairly good,
but practically all bottom land corn
was destroyed and must be replanted.
Bud worms are doing damage in
places.
Tobacco looks we'll in a few localities
only, and its general condition is
poor. More is being set out, as the
ground is now in good condition for
growth.
Wheat continues very promising, ez-
cept that rust has developed in New
berry, Oconee and Union Counties; !;
some wheat will soon be ripe enough
to harvest. Oats were benefited by
the rains, bnt much bottom land oats
was totally destroyed, and some Of
rank growth was lodged. Oats are
fast ripening, and some have already
been harvested. Spring sown oats are
poor.
Minor crops, truck, pastures, fruits,
gardens and berries were all greatly
benefited by the rains, and although
late look promising, except melons,
which are poor. Apples and peaches
are dropping, and prospective yields
are thereby greatly reduced. All crops
now need sunshine and cultivation.

Senator McLaurin having announc-
sd his platform Of political principles
and having made an elaborate defense,
partaking largely of the nature OF an
excuse, of his congressional record, we
know Just about as much as we did
before concerning his proper place IN
the politics of this State. He says he
is a democrat, but all of his declara-
tions go to prove that he is in sympa-
Thy with and a supporter of republi-
can policies. Either McIauSin is
republican or the republican policy is
democratic and the democratic party
Is something else. If the democratic
party remodels itself so as to conform
TO Mr.. McLaurin's ideas it will be
REPUBLICAN in all but name. Mr.. Nc
Laurin's position is a most remarka-
bic one, all things considered, and ne
must have a very peculiarsand oblique
way of looking. at things to be able
to maintain the honest belief that he
is simon pure democrat while assert
ing his entire independence OF party
platforms and principles.

simatea willingness to disregard
precedent and accept the Republican
nomination for third term. McKin
lev, as candidate for third term,
would be the easiest man to defeat
that the republicans could put up, for
shis bold disregard of democratic prec-

The Atlantic Coast Line has taken
hold of the passenger depot PROPOSE
tion in earnest now, and Sumter will
have before the end of the year. even
better depot facilities than was ex-
pected OF hoped for by the most san
pmne. The depot will be large, hand
some, comfortable, well furnished and
conviensIy located. No official state
ment in reference to the cost Of the
depot has been made, but We are in
formed that the amount to be expend-
ed on the depot and the yard will be
In excess Of fifty thousand dollars.
We do not regard this estimate as ex-
cessive for the. Two lots purchased for
depot site cost the company $500
s. 500 for Mrs. Brands lot, she re-
tanning thezresideace and other build
ings, which win be removed, and 81.
500 for Capt. RIA Brands lot in the
rear Of Mrs. Brands.
The plans have been made not only
for a depot that win be amply large to
meet. the requirements of the presents
but the prospective growth of the city
and the consequent increase in the
passenger business has been taken
into consideration, and the station
viii be built TO meet the needs OF the
future.
The oHicials of the Atlantic Coast
Line recognize the Importance OF
Sumter and have been endeaVoring for
several years to arrange to give US
passenger station that would be in
keeping with the business originating
here and would afford passengers am
pie acconmodations for their comfort
and convenience.

FATHER OF GOLF DOGS.
A Smart Canine That Is Trained to
Rescue Balls That Fall Into
Ponds.

The golf dog is quite the latest
thing in CANNES, likewise in golf, and
for the information of those tardy
ones who have not heard Of the breed,
II is said that il is development of a
cross between a Scotch collie and a
retriever, with a little sooner
thrown in, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
The father of his race lives at st.
Andrews, in Scotland, and looks like a
wire-haired fox terrier, somewhat
shop-worn about the body, but with a
highly intelligent conntenance and a
logged determination to enforce his
charge of 4 bone round. His name is
Micky, but this should not be held
against him, for it is presumed that
the time-honored custom of naming
the dog without consulting him was
followed in this case.
Mieky is not a new cognomen to the
locality of St. Andrews, but it is said
That there was no member of that
name on the rolls of the royal and
ancient so they concluded to try it
on the dog.
MickN Is not a player, although he
IS az Times an active participant. He
mas swinging gait and can keep his
eye on the ball in spite of any CONVEX
sailon that may be going on at the
time This is saying good deal, as
Mlcky's services are only required
when some dntfer tops into the pond
and the conversation at such times is
not always entirely pacific.
When scratch man comes to the
tee, Micky retires to the woods or
does some scratching on his own ac-
count. But let a duffer show his face
near the pond and Micky is all atten-
ton. This power of discrimination
has made Micky very popular with
the scratch players. As the buffers are
under obligations to him, he gets along
pretty well on the whole.
AS before mentioned, when dnffer
gets up to the tee, Micky watches his
antics with critical eve, and when he
whaeks the sphere follows the guilty
with his eagle eye untilit dips over the
hill. Then, the golfer enjoying high
er elevation of perspective, A1icky
watches the golfer, and if there is a
faint splash from the pond and a
clondburst or fit of apoplexy from
the golfer, Micky HES him to the pond.
plunges in boldly, brings out the ball
and drops it mot nearer the hole
from which the unfortunate duffer
plays three.
Some of the dogs may be imported
to this country and in a couple of sea-
sons we shall probably have class on
the bench for Micky's descendants.
They would be useful here on some
courses, for then the ponds wouldn't
have to be drained SO often.
