the subsidy bill furnishes a key to
future Republican success in the
South. All sorts of plans have for
years been devised, they say, for
giving the Republican party, status
in tho South, for breaking up the
Democratic solidity of that section.
Most of these attempts have failed,
but it is believed that Mr.. McI.au-
rims course doubtless shows the way
in which it may finally come about.
"Here is South Carolina Demo
crat who votes with the Republicans
at all critical junctures, and so is,
for practical legislative purposes, as
good Republican as those in the
chamber. lie voted to ratify the
treaty of peace with Spain; he voted
for the army bill, voting with Re-
publicans on every amendment and
with them on its final passage. lie
is protectionist, and an expan-
sionist, and is a Democrat prin-
cipally i'll name. This may be
regarded as a necessary concession
to the local prejudiccs Of his State.
Mr.. Tillman represents the free
trade, anti-imperialistic, non-patcr-
nal government theory of the older
residents of South Carolina, while
MIR. McLaurin looks for his support
to the new cotton mill interests Of
the Piedmont uplands."

"What is conscience" asked a
Sunday school teacher one day Of his
class. Several of the children
answered, some one thing and some
another, until a timid little child
spoke out "It is Jesus whispering
in our hearts" This perhaps is as
nearly a correct definition as could
be given. We all know that there
is something within our breasts
that approves when we do right and
chidcs us when we do wrong. This
voice is no rcspcctcr Of persons, but
speaks with kingly authority to all.

Running Store as Christ Would Conduct it.

The indianapolis, Ind, Dispatch,
Of February 9th says: r.. j. Norton,
a grocer of Marion, is running his
store Gas Christ would run it," and
bids fair to run all his competitors
out of business. He sells strictly for
cash, refuses to deliver any goods at
the houses of customers, displays
the cost mark on every article and
thus shows exactly what profit he
is making. He refuses to sell TO-.
bacco, cigars or any preparations
that have cider, brandy or other
liquor in them. lie carries on a
soup house for the poor with his
grocery business, and sells all goods
there at actual cost.

AFTER MCLAURIN's PLACE.


The Spartanburg Journal says
that Ex- Governor John Gary Evans
has not given up the hope of going
to the U. S. Senate and that he may
be candidate for Senator McLau-
rims seat. II says that he has dis
tinctly grown in the public estima-
ton since his retirement from politi-
cal life and will make formidable
candidate. During his residence in
Spartanburg he has made friends
with everybody with whom he has
como in contact, and in no class
more than among those who were
formerly his political enemies. Con-
gressman A. G. Latimer, of the third
district, is said to be grooming for
the race.
Governor McSwceney, say his
friends, will be candidate and will
beat them all. The Charleston and
Columbia vote, bound to him for the
same reasons that held it in the
gubernatorial election, they say, will
stick to him and with the vote that
he will get i'll the State at large will
bring him over the line a winner
Senator d. S. Henderson, OF
Aiken, is also credited with an am
bition to sit in the United States
Senate and with an intention to
become a candidate.

MCL.AuRIN's COURSE.

peoples intcrests-for the upbuild-
ing and advancement of their
material welfare-thc hue and cry
of politicians and moss-back news
papers will be Of no avail, and he
will be triumphantly returned, just
as Morgan was returned from Ala
bama.
Senator Morgan was progressive
and would not submit to be led by
party leaders, and he advocated
measures in the United States Sen
ate which brought upon him the
enmity of nearly every politician
and newspaper in Alabama. His
chances for reelection looked even
worse than McLaurin's do now, but
Morgan went before his people,
looked them into the face, told his
side of the story SO convincingly
that he swept the State of Alabama
like cyclone and threw his oppo.
nents into confusion and despair.
The attempt made in the General
Assembly last week to condemn
McLaurin proved failure, just as it
should have. The members were
sent to Columbia to make laws and
not politicians, and the effect Of the
failure is not at all gratifying to
those who engineered the scheme,
for it will cause the people to in
form themselves of the true situa-
ton.
When did the South have in the
Senate of the United States more
able, eloquent and sincere man than
l.. 9. @. Lamar? And he, by his
independent course, brought down
upon himself the wrath of the Mis-
sissippi politicians. He went before
the people and was vindcatcd, and
to the day Of his death he was a
national celebrity and Mississippi's
"favorite SON"
lloar, of Massachusetts, would
not submit to the leadership of his
party, and on very important qucs-
ton he fought his party bitterly.
With what result? Like Morgan,
of Alabama, and Lamar, of NIissis-
sippi, he was returned triumphantly.
Men of that stamp are guided by
conscientious conviction, without
regard to political future. If their
people repudiate them they look to
time for their vindication.
The masses like a manly man and
they abhor unfairness. Give them
a chance to be informed as to Nc
Laurin's true position and motives,
not take extracts here and there
from his speeches, and while they
may not then be convinced to his
views they will, at least, respect his
independence. If snap judgments
are persisted in, as was attempted
in the Legislature, the people will
suspect the foulncss of such tactics,
and even if they do not altogether
approve his views they will put their
foot down on persecution. They
will begin to wonder why AlcLaurin
has not the same right to his opin-
ions in advocating certain measures
as Senator T'illman had recently,
when he advocated the pcnsioning
of soldiers who deserted the Con-
fcdracy and went into the ranks of
the enemy.
Fair play demands that McLaurin
be treated dccently. If he is to be
beaten let it not be by cursing, but
by out-rcasoning him. TO adopt
such plan his enemies would have
to revolutonizc their entire methods.

THE GUBERNATORlAL BEE IS BUzzino.
Prospective Candidates for Governor and
Senator Forecasted by Editor AuIi.

Editor e. II. Aull, who from his
position as Governors private score
tary, is well calculated to know what
moves are being made on the politi-
cal chessboard, writes as follows of
prospective candidates:
The candidates for Senator Mo-
Laurin's seat are already announc-
ing. Congressman Latimer, it is
said, has positively announced that
he will be in the race, and it is also
said that he is Senator Tillman's
choice and will have his support.
Whether or not this will help his
cause very largely depends. There
was time not great many years
ago when such an announcement
meant almost certain success for any
office from Senator to Coroner, but
conditions have changed very much
IN this State in the recent past and
the people will not submit to any
thing that smacks of dictation from
any one, even Tillman himself.
Then State Senator d. S. Hen
derson, of Aiken, has stated posi-
lively that he would be in the race
for Senator McLaurin's toga. He
is strong man, good speaker, and
will make a very strong competitor
for the prize.
And it is not likely that Senator
McLaurin will himself show the
white feather, and on the issue which
will be raised by his entering, the
people have not yet been heard, but
it is generally conceded that at this
time the majority would be against
him.
But it is nearly two years before
the campaign and great changes
could take place in that time.
Then there are others who are
spoken of. Col. Willie Jones have
heard has announced his candidacy
for the place, and Governor McSwee-
ney has been mentioned, though
have not heard him say whether he
would or would not enter the race.
If he should enter a great many
people are Of the opinion that he
would be strong candidate.
a good deal has also been heard
here about the race for Governor
and several candidates are already
III training. 1t is announced from
Washington that Congressman w.
>. Talbert would like to round out
his political career through the
Governors office, and will certainly
be in the race.
1t was started here last week that
Lieutenant Governor Tillman would
like to step up higher and would try
his hand in the primaries next year
for the Governors office.
suppose Mr.. Gary and Mr.. Pat
tcrson will try it over again and
there is Mr.. Whitman who must not
be forgotten. And | suppose there
will be several others, for it is a long
time yet before the entries close.
Attorney General Bcllinger, it is
said, will be candidate for Governor.

Although there are exceptions to
all rules, in ninety-ninc cases out of
hundred, the business man who is
an advertiser is also a man who has
something to offer that is of especial
advantage to the public. He is a
man OF straight from the shoulder
methods, who does not fear his com
pctitors and who is looking for the
most intelligent class of custom from
people who read newspapers. Of
course there are people who try to
use the advertising columns of news
papers for purposes of deception p;
but for obvious reasons they are sell
dom successful. The very act Of
giving publicity to a business propo-
sition of any kind carries with it, in
considerable measure, a guarantee of
good faith.--Yorkvillc Enquirer.

POLITICAL HoppERs DowNED.

Among the crcditable things the
Legislature did do was the tabling
OF the resolutions condemning Nc
Laurin for his views. The effort of
the politicians in this matter was
properly squelchcd. 1t is not the
business of the Legislature to waste
time and the peoples money in
booming candidates for political jobs
or in trying to force dissatisfaction
among the people with one of their
trusted servants. There was very
little principle involved in the effort.
1t was chiefly an attempt to bclittlc
McLaurn to the advantage of other
prospective candidates for the
United States Senate. ood

The Rendinc Cure.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as a benefit to persons af-
fected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all.
eases of lung trouble it is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled byi
and emptied of air, for the exercise Isl
strengthening to the throat. lungs and
muscles of the chest.
Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being a curative act
can be a pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
it is recommended that an overdose Of
medicine be avoided. that the reading
be deliberate, without being allowed
to drag, that the enunciation be clear,
the body be held in an easy, %unstrain-
ed upright position. so that the chest
will have free play, and that the
breathing be natural and as deep as
possible without undue effort.

Professions Not overcrovvaed.

H wv oNSECFONSueO '
There is a dearth of thoroughly train
ed men in all professions. The more
eHactins the conditions the greater the
need. The thoroughly trained man
nowadays must be a college man. The.
universities are using every effort to-
train men along special lines for def
mite efficiency in something. The old
idea of college education as general
culture is passing away. The UNIVERSE
ty takes men as they are and makes
the most out of what they can do. A
maj today in America is foolish to be.
self made" when better means are at,
hand. 1t is equally foolish to choose a.
self taught nan as against other men!
who have worked with equal zest and.
force and with much better advan-l
tages.
Formerly a man of an executive turn.
a leader in business or politics, found
in a college education little that could,
help him. Now be finds everything.
In the future the college men will be-
the natural leaders in industrial and
political affairs. The reason is that the,
men born to lead cannot afford to stay
out of college.-Success.

Tex, who was arrested as an accom-
plice of DR.. Thomas O'Toole of this
city in attempting to defraud the
Modern Woodmen of America and
Royal Neighbor lodges out of $4,000
life insurance, the details of their plan
are exposed.
O'Toole was actually laid in the
grave by Mcguire in the presence of
D. H. Cox, a San Antonio barber, and
he crawled out under some brush in
one end of the grave while dirt was
being thrown in by Mcclure. Cox
did not see him get out. The men had
planned to have him there as a wit
ness, but upon warning of MCGUIRE he
kept some distance away from the
grave to prevent catching the small
pox, of which disease O'Toole was
said to have died.

Summer School.

The hot weather is hard on the stu
dents in the school. No one can do
justice entirely to their studies. Yet
even a %dusultory rambling over the
studies is better than to stay at home
and not improve. Why should one at.
tend the school at home? First it is a
saving OF expenses and be it said to the
shame % the county, that teachers are
not pald enough to warrant their going
away to school. Second, Every stud.
dent If they desire can go ahead and
improve themselves but they will
come too limit in time. There will be
a time when they must receive some
outside help. Then too those VINO can
sit down at home and study right on
when they are lot in attendance at
school are few and far between. The
good student in school, when he gets
out of the stimulus of the class room
feels that he is on the wide sea with
sails broken and he can go no further.
Third. Every teacher owes it to their
pupils to get ideas and methods from
other teachers. One learns to teach
as they are taught. The methods and
theories read in text books and maya
zines are plausible and good, but the
actual touch Of minds ina wide awake
class room is far better than auy
theory.
One of the drawbacks of our present
summer schools is the tendency of the
pupils to TAXI to many studies. None
can DO justice to over four good solid
studies and n drill. That will make
if they do justice to their work at least
twelve hours work, leaving four more
for meals and recreation and the re.
mainder for sleep and the day is pretty
we'll occupied. To take eight or more
studies is to cram on all, and in the
end come out no better than when
they began. One thing we'll done is
worth a dozen slightingly done.
The summer school is no fad. 1t is
a permanent thing in all the counties.
Every year it is growing in favor. The
expense to the teacher is much les
than a term away and the County
Superintendent should see that the
teachers employed are the equal of the
teachers in the Normal school. 1t does
not take such a great man to be the
equal and even their peer and the men
in school this year will hold up the
standard we'll.
The increase last week has been
quite satisfactory, yet a great many
more are expected in after the fourth
as all the schools had not yet closed,
when this one began. This year should
be the best OH record. as it will if the
teachers are a mind to make it so.
The following new students have
been enrolled this week:
