Jurles Encouraging Cowardlce.

The remark able fact iucideu at to most
OF the homicides which have lately oc-
Cured in South Carolina has been that
they were cowardly. In one case a man
Is said to have shot another through a
crack. In another, the slayer fired at
ter the antagonist had laid aside his
pistol and challenged to a fair fight
with fists. In still another q man was
shot in the back in the dark. In a
fourth two young men were shot down
without being given the poor privilege
of looking their enemies in the face. In
all these cases all the parties were
white men. La numerous cases negroes
were shot down like dogs.
We can understand how tender
hearted juries may be reluctant to con-
vict when a game" man kills another
In fair combat, but it Is strange, pass
Ing strange that in many counties
white men seem to have arrived at the
point hat they deliberately approve
the meanest forms of sneaking coward
ice. One may have q sort of brutal re-
spect for courage even though it be ex.
empli6ed in a devil but the commin.
Cling OF cruelty and poltroonery ought
to disgust even those who have no hor'
ror of bloodshed.

Business Men Should Act.

The efforts Of the business men tt
obtain from the railroad companies the
removal of the passenger depot to {
place Of reasonable safety, not to say
convenience, have so far met with
no definite success So far courteous
treatment has been received and cour.
teous treatment costs nothing.
While we have the kIndliest feelings
towards the railways and the gentle
mon in charge Of them, we advise the
people of Laurens to make the rail ways
feel that their demands are entitled 10
some consideration. This can be
done by the formation of q rigid COM
pact among the merchants and ship
pers pledging their words to route
freight so that it shall be hauled the
smallest possible number Of miles over
the roads coming into Laurens.
The ADVERTISER wholly dislikes to
advise this course, but the depot situa-
ton is intolerable. 1t is an outrage, q
continuing outrage, that 3 corporation
should be permitted to endanger every
day in the year the lives of the people
by the maintenance of the present ar
rangement. Every intelligent man
knows that sooner or later men and
women will be slaughtered by railway
rains at this depot. When corpora
tions or individuals foreknow aud are
warned that they are imperilling pub.
lie safety and human life by neglect Of
duty there is no defence for them and
can be no excuse.

Why Buy Hay?

To an old timer it is astonishing to
see the number of bales OF hay that
go out Of town on wagons almost
every day. Twenty years ago q bale of
hay was an unusual sight to a citiz IN
of this community, although generally
speaking cotton sold at a higher price,
and the art Of curing pe.-y!ns hay
without sunshine had not been learned.
Taken as u who'e the farmers OF
Laurens County are more intelligent
and prosperous than aver before. Is it
possible that 1t is che sper to buy hay
In bales, than to raise 1t from the pea,
when it can be cured without risk,
stacked In the open fed until needed,
and the crop Is Of real benefit to the
land?
The ADVERTISERS believes 1t Is
cheaper to raise anything that will
grow on the farm THAI it is to buy 1t.
We may b, wrong but W. are "set" in
that belisf.

In the convention at Ind.acapolis, u

moreover, was one of those Paris com

City Senator Tillmsn's ''psramount is

and Its inevitable results.

cerne5, Il endorses the senator's pres
emit attitude. 1t is glal to welcome him
into the ranks OF thos wfo believe in
Democrats of the George Gray stamp
which is pre-eminently the Grover

or course endorsement Of Gray is en-
dorsement OF Cleveland for in politics

A Beautiful SOmersault.

Fully six months ago THE ADvER-
User advised the Democrats OF Lau-
rens that Senator "Ben" Tillman
would become to all intents and our
poses a "good gold bug" before tn
year WAS over. We pointed out that
he would abandon Bryan and warned
them that their noisy Free Silver
champion would get on the "band
wagon" regardless OF all his past pro-
LESSONS. We confess, however, that we
did not expect that the redoubtable
Benjamin would repudiate his past to
the astonishing extent to which he act
ually did repudiate 1t last week For the
senator in st. Louis declared himself
for George Gray Of Delaware for the
Democratic nomination - the same
George Gray who voted for Palmer
and Buckner, who bolted in 1896 and
who was a goldbug Of goldbugs and a
leader OF the assistant Republicans
When Judge Gray was a United States
senator he was probably OF all men the
closest and most consistent political
friend OF Grover Cleveland. Even wher
his state convention endorsed him for
the presidency two weeks ago., he dc.
clared emphatically that he was not q
candidate and that Grover Cleveland
was his first choice. This man Senator
Tillman now praises as q true Demo.
:rat who has been ''faithful TO the de
mocracy of the fathers handed down
to him" and him Senator Tillman pub
licly urged the South Carolina dele
cation to support.
Thus does Senator Tillman, the arch
enemy OF Wall street, the wielder O
the pitch-fork and the apostle of "I8 t,
or bust in South Carolina afte
eight yearsfall In like a little mau and
take, his place in the ranks of those
who nominated Palmepand Buckner.

CUTE THINGS ABOUT

I'VE shall carry West Virginia. we

State orfm us this time"
This answer was given by John T.
McGraw, who represents West Vir-
GINA in the Democratic National COM
mittee, when he was asked last night
at the Holland House what West Vir-
ginia would do in the national election.
w are going to carry The State.
Mr.. McGraw continued. There IS
acute dissatisfaction over the tax leg
islation for which the Republicans are
responsible and this will aid us. Henry
G. Davis is recognized as the first citi-
zen of the State, and this will help The
Democratic ticket. With one or two
exceptions, the five or seven thousand
gold Democrats who left us in 1896 are
with us again. Mr.. Davis will attract
a large Republican vote ecaus Of
what he has don toward the material
development of the State.
There is a large conservative bust
ness element in the State that will not
be swayed by partisan motives, but
will vote as the best interests of the
country to require. | expect tho
vote to be cast on the basis of a popu-
lation Of one million. which will be an
increase of two and fifty
thousand. There is probably a ma
jority of Republicans in this increase.
but we shall gain in the change that
has been made in the character of the
men employed in the coal regions. In
stead of negroes, the miners are now
largely foreign born, and they will
have to produce their naturalization
papers before they can vote. We never
were able to determine how many
times the negroes voted, as the Re
publicans have refused to pass the
registration law demanded by the con-
stitution of the State.
when the Democrats went out Of
power in the State they turned over
to the Republicans an annual expendi-
ture of seven hundred thousand dol
lars for the cost of government. This
has been increased to a million dol
lars. and now the Republicans are
seeking to impose a new tax on indus
try and thrift, the proceeds of which
are not to be used to meet any en-
Urgency. but are to be expended for 4
still greater cost of government"

ed. For the past W. seasons they
have given a series of concerts at Phil
adelphia, n the papers of that city
compared them f%avorably with the

stated that the concerts were h best
ever heard in Philadelphia
This wonderful organization, con-
sisting Of between sixty and seventy
professional boy musicians, has been
engaged for a series of concerts at the
Pfttsburg Exposition, commencing
Sept. &c. 1t is on account of that en-
gagement that the management of the

give one concert between New York

ranged for this city. .
In order to ecure this attraction Il
big guarantee had to be given, and it
is hoped that local music lovers will
show their appreciation by giving it 4

them made any objection to the con-
