Eleven gentlemen of Greenyille,

Eleven gentlemen Of Greenville,
manufacturers, merchants bankers and
preachers in that city invite Senator
McLaurin to ''address" in that city
"the public from my (hisj standpoint
on certain national issues now before
the people" The Senator answers that
1t gives him pleasure to comply with

he Will crate. Our readers will readily
recognize the sweet kindness of the
Senator in ~consenting to oblige these
innocent gentlemen, laboring under
blind ignorance of the Senators views
on national Issues and Ills argu-
ments in support of them. Their In
terost in the public" too, is espec-
tally to be commended. These be the
Requesters seeking light upon them

WI Ting Fang, Chinese minister at
the Court Of ST. Mckinley, was an in
vited guest at the Pow Wow at Char
lotte, on last Thursday. lie spoke
wisely as he always does, and is in uni
versal demand as an entertaining plat

safe, But she has good intellectual
material in her wide borders, unless

the potato, they have the rye they
have strychnire.
They are financially up to snuff in
Horny. Chesterfield and williamsburg
They work the school law SO that viii
lialnSburg gets $2,0S7, Horny S2,777 and
Chesterfield $3.50 OF the Dispensary
Fund. Many of the counties get none
and Laurens $1,000. The first named
counties might dispense with the small
matter of the arithmetic.

less it is made out OF him and his en-
GOrSers.
