Washington, June 23.-No assist

bring about an immediate armistice or
to prevent clash before the conven-

While the London government as an

ing a great deal to consent to an ar
mistice at this time and that after a
great defeat on land the Russians will
be more ready to discuss peace. This,
however, is but an honest difference of
opinion between Washington and Lon
don. The belief here is that an
other defeat may inspire the Russians
to continue the war indefinitely. 1t is
understood, however, that London will
do nothing to hamper in any way the
presidents efforts, having expressed
its sympathy with his general pur-

butte to the heroic dead.
In the second, the speech of Col.
James Armstrong will be such a treat
as is rarely to be enjoyed in Laurens.
Col. Armstrong is an Irishman and
mighty proud of it, a hearty, whole
souled gallant Irishman. He was born
in this country, in Philadelphia, his pa
rents having been natives of the En-
erald Isle. He came South when he
was a child of four. He was a splen-
did Confederate soldier, was wounded
four or five times and no man ever lived
who more cheerfully and more bravely
did his duty.
Col. Armstrong is a delightful speak
err, full of humor and full of affection
for his old comrades who wore the
gray. Few men in South Carolina are
more universally beloved by men and
women-he is a wonderful ladiesmar
and his speciality is pretty little girls.
Col. Armstrong is a member of the
staff of the Charleston News and Cou.
rier and the most popular man in his
city. We believe he will be the most
popular mar in Laurens after he has
been here a couple of hours for that is
the rule wherever he goes.
