The arrest of ex-liquor commissioner
Gaston and chief-cieik
I; Scruggs, of the State dispensary
|v? * created quite a sensation politig|
cally and otherwise. While the
61^ change* against the two dispen
4 , sary officers is quite a serious one
(larceny) they will hardly be
g punished by the court, at least
not severely?no one wants to
see them punished while others
who are no doubt just as guilty
m these two go scott free. Messrs.
v- Gaston and Scruggs were not
| quite so fortunate as certain
others in hiding their official misconduct,
and have already been
pretty severely punished by the
public exposure of their wrongdoings.
Ijfo The annual observance of Memorial
day has always appeared to
ns a far sweeter, purer tribute to
? the deaa, Uian me eiaDoraie inon?"< ; /
omenta over the erection of which
there is ever so much pomp and
l| pageantry. There is no rivalry in
* the weather and roses: the beauty
of theUowers, lading as swiftlv as
|p| it does, is still unattainable by
K man,in any work of his hands and
can only be touched by the influj.
- ehces which he can draw irom the
L-, harmony of sounds. The stiff, rigid
lines of the shaft, building or
awaken admiration or
csiticism, but they cannot^JPag
up from the depths

f music or the sight 01 flowers, which
Ifnow bloom but to fade,which
are living, but must die. There is a
softening feeling of regret, of Joss,
of inability to folly appreciate the
beauties shone us which makes
them so fit to be Associated with
recollections we cherish.The mind
of the creature striving to pierce
the Veil of the future and picture
the, realm beyond the grave, rails
feebly back continually upon two
joys that earth affords and these
two joys come from music and
flowers, on the earth where rest the
dead in recollection of their devotion,
there to day will be placed
flowers, not that any tribute can
pay the debt that is their due, but
that they best show how sweet still
is*he remembrance of the fallen
soldiery.?Charleston Sun.
||/ THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
f:; The political situation in South
wCorolina is getting more and more
r. . mixed. Already the daily papers
p; are "suggesting" the names of
?, possible candidates' for the various
offices, although the elections
? ^ are away in the future. I be ed
ilors and reporters even go so far
' as to mention the possible candidates
for the United States senate,
for senator Tillman's seat,;
notwithstanding tbe fact that it|
will not become vacant until
March 4, 1901.
For the gubernatorial contest
the present incumbent is sure to
stand lor re-election. CongreSs r
man McLanrin's recent speeches
in the halls of emigres'; have
1
jm,....
BSrVi .V- a V -
I iv^eil hi:n to t he front, ai.d some |
; newspapers have made a gnber-j
natorial possibility out of him.j
Then thero are other prominent
men spoken of, such as secretary
of State Thompkins, railroad commiosioner
W. D. Evans, and perhaps
one or two other "minor
lights." If the first two, the Cover.
j j
nor and the congressman, Me- j
I Lannn will no doubt win the race, <
j but he can hardly be pulled into
i into the contest. Ills congressjionnl
career has not yet been suf
ficiently long to satisfy his ambition,
and he will no doubt stand
again, in the next contest, and
retain his present position. In
the event of Mr. McLaurin
entering the race for governor,
very few names have thus far
been suggested for the congressional
seat, but there is no doubt <
that a sufficient number of candidates
will develop to make
quite a lively scramble for the
place. Mr. W. JL). Evans, of Marl
boro, has always had congression- <
al aspirations, and he would be
very apt to run for congress, and
not for governor, should Mr. Mc 1
Laurin enter the race for the iat
ter position. Marion county would
perhaps furnish another candidate,
and a Clarendon man would
also be forthcoming.
In the senatorial race, it is said
that the winning man will have
to do some "tall hustling." Sen
ator Tillman is sure to enter, and
McLaurin is spoken of as a candidate
for this place also, as is
Governor Ellerbe. One paper has
suggested the name of Judge W.
H. Jtlrawley, of the United States
District Court, as a senatorioal
possibility, and congressman Stanyarne
Wilson is spoken of as a
"dark horse." Should all of these
oppose Mr. Tillman that gentle*man
would certainly have to
"hustle" to secure re-election,
but it is hardly probable that
they will all try to secure the
prize. Tillman will try. Mc .
Laurin and Ellerbe may try.
If these three gentleman run, or
even the first-named two, it is our
opinion that senator Tillman
would be given a close race by
congressman McLaurin, and it
would not supnse us if Mr. McLaurin
won the race, for there is
no doubt that the Senator is
losing his hold upon the people
every day, and that congressman
McLaurin is becoming more and
more popular.
The time for election, however,
is too far off for anything like a
definite forecast to be made and
the foregoing is only conjecture,
as no real candidates have actually
presented themselves for any
office.
Grant
The greatest pageant that ever
occurred on American soil was
the dedication of the Grant mon
ument, on the banks of the Hudson,
in New York, probably a ,
million of people joined in the 1
grand demonstration, composed ol
the military and naval forces of
the nation and citizens of the
J
whole country. On the death of
Grant, New York" was accorded
the honor of caring for his remains,
and there they have been until !
now, under guard, in a temporaiy j
resting place, until the completion j
of the tomb and monument where i
they were permanently laid last 1
week. Foreign nations sent ships *
of war which lav in the Hudson \
under the magnificent monument, y
and joined in the tribute to the i
lucky dead. President McKinley j
made a speech and it was un 1
usually patriotic and sensible, (
and ex President Cleveland was ]
present as a great citizen. We c
note no .Southerner of distinction j
except Gen, Gordon and a corps \
of the Sons of Veterans, who rev- ^
erently laid wreaths of flowers on 3
the tomb of Grant. There has s
grown to be a universal conclu- ^
sion that Grant was generous to jjj
Lee at Appomatox, according t
liberal terms at his surrender. n
We have nev?r bppn ahl* to ap/ '<?*.
- wX.. $ ? a\&k' -liA it, ."ia
( .5; \ ' '
>> * *?? >.; &"* :' r'tpreciate
the grounds upon which j
this verdict has been rendered.
Lee was allowed to keep his
sword; his soldiers were allowed
lo inarch to their homesane there
was an end to the matter. Grant
could do no more; oo less. Upon
any other terms there would have
been no surrender and the remnant
of Lee's band would ha?e
sold their lives on good terms of
two to five for one. Grant for a
time will pass for a great soldier
by the men on his side of the
great issue; but after awhile, and
not a great while, but when
another generation has come upon
the stage of thought and action,
the verdict will be modified.
That verdict must inevitably be
that, Grant was not a great commander,
with three times the men
of Robert E. Lee, ragged, tattered
and tired, with ten times his resources
in all material and appliances
of war. Leo held him at
bay daring 1864, fighting him at
every t irn, his lieutenants A. P.
Hill, Longstreet, Anderson and
Hampton never suffering disaster,
Grant may be apotheosized, monuments
may be reared to pierce
the skies, but there are monuments
more lasting than braes and
the truth of unbiased and unprejudiced
history will.fix who were
the heroes. Grant was not an
unkindly man; not a military genius;
not a success considering hi?
resources and the worn, thinned
and weather-beaten ranks he had
opposed to his.
As a President bad men made a
military despot of him, and while
he tyrannized the South we will
excuse him as a weakling under
evil influences. Let the North
make a God of him: King Stork
was once crowned. We rejoice
that the South had no great conspicuity
in the great pageant of
last Tuesday.
Every soldier who stood in Lee's
thinned lines knows that ordinary
military skill and a half hearted
army could any day have shatter
ed and broken Lee's lines. There
is but one way to make a great
soldier of Grant and that is to
make every man in gray facing
his lines a demigod or an Achilles.?Laurens
Advertiser.

HOW TO Pino uut. ,
Fill a bottle or common glass
with nrine and let itstahd twentyfour
hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it it positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr
Kilmer's Sw?mp-Root, the great
kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back kid

The making of a great man by
newspaper men is the interesting
operation now in progress and
visible to observers in t lis State.
His greatness has already been
partially constructed and the ma
terial cannot be called raw.
Newspaper writers in Washington
"are assiduously laboring at
the job of enlarging him. A
daily paper has been started and
it is expected to be his most devo
ted worker in th;s State. Two or
three weeklies which began to
perspire in the gentlman's inter
est several years ago show no
sirrns of relaxation The centle
man himself is striving to charter
the largest daily in the State and
it appears responsive. Never before
was there such a press service
in this State devoted to the
promotion of a single politician.Greenville
