period oj arch:eet:re: tiIS rests I upOn a column white as Greecian Marble. w:hich hods and' throws the features of face into a bass renie, .,hn are express:-:e of suhe regularity and conten: ment as to be at once the wonder and and envy of every prelate in Christendom. The indubitable. moral worth of our Lieutenant Governor, his tried capacities for business, his real wish to see strife and bitterness cease and his position being the next the, throne, his asking for elevation' to the Governorship commends his candidacy to many, and he is regarded among the big Four. CHARLES CARROLL SIMS. Mr. Sims is named for Charles: Carroll (of Carrollton) a signer of the declaration, and is a des-' ,endant of the author William Gilmore Sims. He has the painful self-consciousness about him that he has a great name to sustain. and this tlhought mantles hiS VISace withn the silent gravity o a Barnwell County pond.

On either side of this monoIh are the windows to his soul. They have good curtains and when parted you see a spirit within this tene ment of clay as pure in thought and as radiant of patriotism as ever aspired for a country' good. His love of native land is equal to that of Washington. He has so much of the philosophy of Franklin as to be unfitted for t. arena of politics. He sees good in both sides to the game. Were he to affect more of the partisan shio of a Jefferson or d2scend to be as contemptible as one of our later day saints it would be bet ter for his personal preferment. Goethe in "The Sorrows of Young Werther" says some where that "persons of some pretensons to rank hold them selves coldly aloof from t1e plain people as though they feared to lose importunce by tne association, whilst idlers and real pretenders to understanui-g affect to descend to them, -,:: to make the poor people teei such impertinence the more keenlV." Mr. Richards is no: that k:ind of man. He is a sin ple feeling human heimg v:no _as humbled himself in hiS re:aons with men to be exalted mi understanding and affection. R. I. MANNIN-.

Mr. Smith :an talk the tail off of a comet ind bejewel a whole firmament with words. JOHN L. McLAURIN Mr. McLaurin is dubbed by his enemis as the Alcibiades of: South Carolina politics. His friends declare the comparison is dious and untrue. That he is rnerely a disciple of Eiiierson on the doctrine of consistency. that be has always been a true patri ot and "4guiltless of his country's blood." Mr. McLaurin after running the gamut of politics in both the State and Nation has for the last four years been un der ."the helmet of invisibility" as State Senator from Marlboro county. He proposes now to again show himself, strap on the winged slippers of Perseus, and with the mythological sword ot. Quicksilver cut off the Medusa head of aristocracy and all the paws of privilege. Twenty-four years ago, the paragrapher styl ed him "'Curlv Headed Johnnie,": the "Youngest Attorney Gener al," et cetera. His first repre h.sible conduct toward the reigning dynasty. and censured by the Ernperor was the organi Zein of what was known as the Folt Movement.

It would not profit any thing to review his Iong and honorable career, suffice it to say that he is still the idol in cespit os hair of the Pee Dee country. That hair is now streaked with free silver, and will soon be of unlimrited coinage and quantity. bt he is not in the sere and yel lox lea by a great deal.

The intellect, the svil!, the heart and ambition nave rushed their regiments of svar all over that face as a bat :le ground and left their vestig as of confict ineffacable. At the :ieridian of physical life and implements of education and experience, rich enough to as sure independence of his actions, whot a pity it would be to have no niche for his usefulness, and vet it is not unusual to meet such travesties on the Broad Highway of Politics. Senator McLaurin is as handsome as Helvetius. engaging in personal onversation as Henry Clay is said to have been. and is an ora tor of ability. Moreover he can work like Sisyphus, and is re eeiving many letters every day. concluding; "With all thy faults I love thee still." Yet some peope do not discuss him among the Big Four. W. W. Dixon. Spring Fever. "Bill," in Edgefield Chronicle. Every Year about this time, when the birds begin to mate, and the flowers begin to blossom, when the beer begins to block, and when base ball has shown that it can come back, we have a habit of calling our-all-the year around laziness by the noliter name of spring fever. The man wno is so lazy all the year through that the bed has to be chopped out from under him every morning, and sits in his comfortable chair all the day long ana watch his wife wash and iron and do other labors to earn a sustenance for the family, this man will call that tired feel ing spring fever. I once knew a man who lived on soup because he was too lazy to chew solid food, who never talked, but simply nodded or shook his head, who would sit by the hour and let a flock of flies make merry on his hairless crain ium because he was too lazy tc put on his hat, yet this mar would comolain that the soring weather always sapped his ener gy and made him feel like doing nothing. Snring fever is pretty apt t< be a perpetual ailment, it does. n't have to return every spring It simply stays with you. It's the easy name for the "big laz ies." healthful ' exercise and the pleasi:.g interest. will eure sprino fever, if it isn't too chronic.
