"McLaurin Papers,"

In our remarks about "McLaurin papers,
we meant only that these newspapers were
tolerant or favored the political issues which
are raised by McLaurin. McLaurn, as the
Green wood Index suggests. only got on a
platform which these newspapers favored.
We never for once thought that any editor
would follow any politician. From our own
view point. the Press and Banner sustains the
principles the personality-of McIaurin.
We do not differ materially from the Index
IN politics rs announced By that paper In the
article which we copy. 1.-THE followers OF the
twice-beaten Bryan SO will it they can secure
a Republican victory in 1901. And II their
purpose was to perpetuate Republican rule
we DO not see how they could more certainly
procure the result than by following Mr..
Bryan, whose former supporters are leaving
him daily. Bryan and his followers made a
mistake when they assumed that party fealty
warranted the majority In running rough
shod over the consciences and convictions OF
large and powerful minority. They continue
to make a mistake in their effort TO bring
about a schism, which, II successful would
certainly make campaign useless IN 30 far
there might be hope for Democratic success.
Instead of trying to heal the differences
and instead OF trying to strengthen the party,
the little two.for-a-quarter politicians are
seeking to make the differences permanent.
and lasting. the effect OF which would be to
bring Republican victory.
When sensible men, capable OF reasoning,
do 90 foolish thing as to assume 10 be the
Democratic party, and then to presume to
ostracise gentlemen who are just as good,
Just az patriotic and just as able as them.
selves, it takes no prophet to foretell the con-
sequences. And they will rest upon the
heads OF those who are responsible.

SALE OF OIL MILLS.
The Good Fortune That Come Last
Waek n Mr.. j. Allen smith.

Mr.J. Allen Smith, President Of the Able.

The Athens Mill was sold outright. Mr..
Smith being the soe owner, the price realiz-
ee The Se HbbeyiIIe II Cotton Seed OIL Mill brought
$50, 500, II all the shares were included:
MIR. Smith owned about seven .eighths OF tne
stock His shares we're sold aosolutely; ouI
condition was made that the trust would pay
a pro rota amount for the other shares In case
the holders desired 10 sell. All the holoers'
with q single exception, had given notice yes

Stock in the mill had been Issued to the
amount of $4,000. The mill was put In opera
tion some ten or twelve years ago, put rom
circumstances the investment ann mas of ete tne
original shareholders parted with their
stock at figures much below par. Mr.. Smith
having faith in the ultimate success OF the
mill, bought the shares which were sold.
in the purchase and sale, Mr.. Smith made
large profits on both the Abbeville stock and
the Athens mill. He does not state what
were his profits in the purchase and sale OF
the two properties, but outsiders estimate ate
this way. II the Athens mill cost him $4,000
and be realized $4,000 there were $4,000 OF
II his holdings OF $4,000 Of stock in the
Abbeville OIL Mill cost him an average OF
thirty.five cents on the dollar, or say SlO0OO,
be must have made $4,000 In that transac'
ton.
Mr.. Smith does not give these figures, but
they are our estimates from hearsay on the
streets At any rate Mr.. Smith met with bet
ter luck last week. than went TO any mans
door In this town. He not only realized
handsome estate In money, but be 10 relleV-

Mr.. Smith is to be congratulated, ana Inc
community has reason TO be pleased. The
original cost OF the mill has been returned 10
the community. The same amount OF foreign
capital has come, and the local money ls
ready for other and further Investment In
building up the town.
It is said on the streets that. after paying
outstanding claims against the property, Inc
shareholders will receive sum q little less
than par for their stock.
Mr. Harden. superintendent and book-
keeper; Mr.. Carl Wosmansky, the machinist;
and Mr.. Thos. Carlisle, the watohman, IL IL
understood, will retain their positions under
the new management.
It is possible, however, that the new owners
may remove the machinery, and consolidate
1t with other machinery elsewhere 30 as 10
make larger mill, and thus reduce the num-
ber of officers.

that the old and expensive power plant viii
be removed. when new and economical

date boilers and engines.

Questions.

Mr.. w. T. Bradley Of this city raised the
question recently II 1t was correct to say :
"She Is master of the English language" All
sorts of answers we're given. and then he was
asked If he would say edltress and postmis'
treas. He answered thst he would, and then
he was asked II he would say purcharess,
teacneress, writeress? When he became con-
fused and looked like he wished that he had
raised no questions, some one came to his re-
lief by saying there is such a thing
AZ a female college. Greatly relieved he said.
"Yes OF course there is."
A little further on he became disgusted, and
apparently lost interest in asking or an
swering perplexing questions.
Note-This newspaper would say that 1t is
perfectly correct to say: "She Is master OF
the English language"
1t is not correct to say editress. postmistress,
purcharess, teacheress or wrteress7
We would say that 1t is not correct to say
female college. We have colleges for women
but, correctly speaking, college, is OF the
neuter gender.

HOW TO TELL DELFT.
Differences Between Real and 1mi-
tstion Are Marked.


Color is the most important consider
alton in deciding whether or not alleg-
ed delft Is genuine. Blue delft must
not be too blue to be real. The natural
color of the ware is pure white. Its
texture Is of a hardness greatly resem-
bling porcelain. The only thing In delft
that Is legltlmately blue is the design
or figures. These are Of deep indigo
tint, the production Of which Is one OF
the secrets Of Holland.
For more than two centuries potters
all over the world have striven to 1mi-
tate delft and have failed. The latest
attempts have been made in Bonn, Ger
many. Real delft is as different from
the Bonn product as silk is from satin.
In the first place Bonn delftware is
soft and not unlike majolica. A slight
chip in the glaze reveals Its claylike
texture. Then, too, the ware itself 1s
blue, which Is an objectionable fault
The coloring of the design seems to
have spread over it's entire surface.
Divergences in portraits and pictures
are one of the distinguishing marks OF
real delft. 1t is all painted by hand.
No machine ever comes in contact with
it. Bonn delft is in a striking contrast.
Absolute uniformity is obtained by the
use Of stencils and machine made out
lines.
Contrary to the belief of some COL
lectors, there is no intrinsic merit In old
delft The kind that comes from the
potterics today Is quite as fine and
more beautiful in design than its prede-
ceSSOr.

Then add six whole cloves and six
whole peppers, one-half cupful Of vine
gar and eight crisp gingersnaps, laid
on top Of the meat. Cover tightly and
cook until tender. When done, remove
the meat, strain the gravy and pour

Congregations to Ora, in Laurens
County - Pretty Tribute TO His

Worth.
Rev. B. II. Grier and family leave tomor-
row, Thursday, for their new home in Ora, in
the pastorate OF the Associate Reformed
church. Mr.. Grier has been living in York.
vile since 1894. having preached his first ser.
mon on the first Sunday OF that year, and has
Yorkville and Tirzah. When he came 10
Yorkville, the church bad so members, and
the number has since grown to 81. TirZah,
which then had u members now has 70, after
having given of quite number to Rock
Hill, Yorkville and other places. The Sun
day schools at both Yorkville and Tirzah
have grown very considerably. During Mr..
increased their contributions to missionary
enterprises; but have made no appreciable
increase In the salary allowed to pastor. The
church at Ora has about 80 members and will
take all OF Mr.. Grler's time. During his stay
In Yorkville, Mr.. Grier has won the highest
respect and esteem Of all the people with
whom he has come In con tact. 1t is general
ly conceded that he has discharged his duty
regard less OF personal consequences, and the
entire com unity ieels that his life has been
faithful expon ent OF the religion which he
processes; 81 He & has been strong foe to intem-
temperance growing out OF the abuse of in
toxicatlng liquors, and although 1t cannot
ialrly oe said that he has ever been extreme
or ianatlcal, ne has pursued his fight steadily,
consistently and without compromise. The
only dlspensary that has ever heen located In
the county as now constituted, was that at
TirZah, In the midst OF one OF Mr.. Grier's con.
gregatlons. Observing the pernicious effects
upon the community, Mr.. Grier made 1t his
especial business to marshal all possible In.
huences to rid the ueighborhood OF the evil,
ana 70 h1m more than TO any other one indi-
vidual belongs the credit for the removal OF
the Tirzah dispensary. The results that fol-
lowed fully proved the wisdom of his efforts.
and he has since had much cause TO congrat.
ulate himself on the work performed. Mr..
Grier and family will be accompanied to
their new home by the best wishes OF many
people In this community, and the mem berl
will, for long time. feel that in the removal
OF himself and his most excellent wife, q
severe loss has been sustained.-Yorkvi Vile
