The spartanburg ts. O Herald bucks at the anti-gravy platform of our Sena- tor Pettus, thus:
 Now Senator Pettus is a man for whom we have great admiration. but if 1t is his intention of running for the Vice-Presi- dency-all prominent Southern men a e candidates for Vice-President-and his much fear that he win not carry South Carolina, for South Carolina, since the earliest times, has been committed to the policy of eating gravy, and not only upon meats, but upon rice. hominy, and even bread.
 Some of our contemporaries evidently give too much latitude to the Senator's remarks. What he objects to Is the rich and highly seasoned preparations, mostly of French origin. which pass under the tions have a sound foundation. A mod | crate indulgence in meat, fowl or fish
 gravies, with only the addition of little
 flour and salt, never hurt any one with
 normal digestive powers. but some of the
 foreign sauces would ruin the digestive
 organs of an ostrich. But this was not
 what our Senator was talking about, and | The CudtCdnoOSd NeWb toucneS IL aDOut
 right when 1t says:
 l Senator Pettus, however, can remember | when the people out in the country had | gravy that was worth eating. That was | in the days of old when a farmer rarely ever cut q ham that had not hung in his smokehouse a year. One of those ' hams would produce a rich, red g avy | that would perfums the woods for a mile around. If a half dozen farmers had fried ham for supper in the same neigh | borhood, 1t was one continuous, everlast- | ing fragrant odor from the skillet. The | youngsters who are disputing with Sem | ator Pettus as to what gravy Is know | nothing of the subject. It is doubtful if | one of them ever had the pleasure of sit- | ting down at a table where gravy, like
 Senator Pettus enjoyed when a boy, was
 served. A boy who did most of his eating
 in, the country sixty years ago knows what gravy Is.
 That is the kind of gravy that makes
 the mouth of the city man who was bred
 in tine country water when his mind goes
 back to the days of his youth, and 1t is
 delicacy that will not hurt any one
 whose stomach has not been ruined by
 high jinks cookery.

:, srrry prrnrcTroN.

Either Senator Blackburn is getting in his dotage, or his perceptions are ob- scured by prejudice. or he Is exceedingly ignorant of the Southern people if he said, as he is reported, that Cleveland, If nominated. could not carry State south of the Ohio River. There are many Southern Democrats who do not believe that Cleveland can be nominated. wherein they may be in error. There are many others who do not think he ought to be nominated, in which we fatly differ from them. but we have not before heard of any man of intelligence and prominence who would say that Mir. Cleveland cannot carry any Southern State. In spite of the opposition to him, few Democrats deny that he would get the entire Southern electoral vote. The Senator isn't cd enough to be senile, but he should go out of the predicting business If that Is a fair sample. As The Chattanooga Times says:
 MT. Blackburns declaration that MT. Cleveland couldn't carry a single South ern State is so silly that 1t is unworthy of
 
 very ridiculous even United States Sem ator can make himself when he wants to run great bluff. Get the platform fixed up all right and we haven't the slightest doubt that the man put on 1t to run will get the Solid South, no matter who he is. Democrats need not lose any sleep over | such predictions, nor need any of MT. Cleveland's friends lose faith or confl- dence in him because certain Senators and Congressmen are trying to minimize his strength. All wisdom is not piled up in the National Capitol, nor has the man. tie of Elijah become the exclusive heri- tage of those who represent us in Wash- ington. As an expression of opinion from | it, the Senator's remarks can go for what they are worth. There is nothing in them to worry over, any more than there | is in that other remark of his that MT. Bryan will bolt if Cleveland Is nominated. We have no doubt that his inclination I would lead him to bolt Cleveland if he could see anything in such a movement, but, in our judgment, by the time the convention acts, MT. Bryan will have so completely lost his following that even he will be able to see that there is noth- ing for him in opposition to the will of the Party. That, however, is not mat ter that need be worried over The in- dications now are that MT. Cleveland will get the nomination and it is certain that the South would support him solidry.

Beggars Are Numerous.

''The vagrant law has not affected in any way the many beggars who infest oSr streets and public places" said gentAe- man yesterday. "I have never seen as many beggars and as many different schemes for catching the nickles and dimes without working as greet us on every hand now. Go where you will, on stores and really everywhere you see the male and female beggar who has no visi- ble means of support, carrying on his trade without molestation on the part of those charged with the enforcement of the law. The many beggars that swarm the streets and public places of our city at this time do no credit to the city and are a living proof of the lax and inditfer- ent enforcement of the law.
