LIGHT ON THE TARIFF.

Even our Republican stand-pat
contemporary, the Camden Courier,
Ia beginning ii see q light In regard
to the high protective tariff which all
of the ssold guard Republicans hold
so sacred because OF their professed
love for the American faborer. It
seems 1t is the strike at Lawrence.
Mass, among workers who are en-
pioyed by The most highly protected
industry In the countrys--the wooden
manufacturers-that has opened the
eyes Of the Courier, just as 1t has
opened the eyes OF q great many
others. Recent Investigations In Pitts
burgh, among employees In the steel
mills, another highly protected In
dustry, has also helped to bring out
q realization OF what the present
tariff really means. Says our stand
pat contemporary, the Camden Cour-
fer:
ut is not q fair distribution of the
wealth produced by labor that the
men who r. the producers should
be rewarded with 8 bare cost of liy-

their families, for IT Is of greater
moment than scheming to eyade the
laws prohibiting restraint In trade"
More and more the people are be-

Mutt and Jeff," Gus Hill's elaborate
musical comedy production OF the IA
nous Bud Fisher cartoon play, found
ed on which is conceded 20 be the most
successful conception of comical char
acter in the history of journalism,
comes TO the Laurens Opera House
next Monday for a one night engage
ment. The tour of this organization
last season may be termed triumphal.
Never before, since the inception of
travelling theatrical companies has any
play scored such a tremendous SUCCESS
never before has a theatrical produc-
ing manager so perfectly prescribed
amusement according TO the public's
demand and taste. OF course, it goes
without saying that it is not likely that
any play has ever had the advertis-
Ing that this one has had through the
daily cartoon series that is run in
more than five hundred newspapers in
the United States and Canada. The
original success was undoubtedly at
tanned by the artist, Bud Fisher of the
New York American staff, when he
conceived the eccentric idea OF Mr.. A.
Mutt and Mr.. Othello Montgomery
Jehries, however it suffices to say that
les and even the "magnates" who con-
troll practically every first class thea
/ tre in the country. hand the "pennant"
to Mutt and Jeff" as the financial anu
artistic success of a decade. which
means that the play has earned that
enviable title. for you cannot fool the
American theatTegoing public into pa
/ tronizing an unworthy attraction as
they have patronized Mutt and Jeff".
This season Mr.. Hill offers the second
edition replete with new and startling
novelties, new book, music. scenery
and costumes, all of which will sur
pass that of last season, IL such a
thing is possible. Mutt and JEFF" will
undoubtedly assume its place with
Ben Hur" and Way Down East" as
standard American play that will
never wear out. Secure seats early as
the subscription list by mail is al.
ready very large. Seats are on sale at

College at Laurens.

The citizens Of Laurens are show
ing the proper spirit in regard TO their
failure to secure Chicora College.
What they want now and what
they always have wanted is a col
lege for Laurens. and DO one can
blame them for trying to secure one
which IS already established. But
failing in this they are now bending
their efforts in the direction of estab-
fishing a new institution which
shows that the actuating motive has
been the desire for college and not
for some particular college.
1t is understood that the subscrib-
ers to the Chicora fund will be asked
their opinion of taking this money
and using it TO build modern girls
school. where the tuition will be
placed at a minimum and yet high
class educational facilities offered. II
is argued that an institution of
this type is badly needed in South
Carolina to take care of the hundreds

contest for Chicora college has Great

naturally in accepting the proposi-
tion made. and Greenville acted

to have the school remain here

We are informed that three Pres
byteries having voted against the re-
moval of Chicora to Laprens from
Greenville, the Laurens brethren have
decided not to push ,Ae matter any
further. But the Laurens spirit is
aroused and having found that SEN
timent is abroad in the town for a
college, it seems to be the purpose OF
our sister city TO see If she cannot
establish college of her own. 1t will
be built by Laurens money, but I'LL.
of course, ask for patronage from be-
yond its borders. They earnestly be-
lieve that there is room for both Chi
cora and Laurens college in the bor-
ders OF the same Presbytery. If there
is room, we bid the brethren Godspeed
We must see more and more 10 il that

they get TO where they can really be Of
