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.

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

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

paws of privilege. Twenty-four

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."
