Senator McLaurln's opponents seem to be t greatly exercised because of his political i standards, and because he has received evidence of substantial suppurt. Whenever a | new supporter of McLaurln Is announced j the}' forthwith begin to try to prove tbat be isn't much account anyway. < Even a man like Gen. M. C. Butler comes In | for his share of Ill-humored criticism. i The merchants, the manufacturers, and the | business men who support McLaurln are i sneered at very much as the monied arlstoc- ( raoy regarded them before the war. "Shop- i people" were good enough In their way, and tbey were sometimes tolerated, but they were Beldom embraced In society by the select set. It may be that some of our newspapers , hold themselves to be better, and superior to, i the merchants, the manufacturers and the ; business men of the country. But we leave i i? tn tho nenni# tn Rftv if there are not Individ uals Id these classes that have done more to build up the State tban the combined efforts of all the newspapers. One noticeable strain that runs through all, or nearly all, of the attacks on AlcLaurin, Is, i that the authors seem to assume that they i themselves are the very salt of the earth, and ( that the other fellows have lost their savor. f Another presumption lies in the fact that a great many of McLaurln's enemies pretend to be able to give him friendly advice. Of course, the public has no 6ort of respect for such sniveling hypocrisy. McLaurln 1b not generally regarded aB a fool j and we shall be surprised if he does what his enemies want him to do. The pretended blindness to the fact that McLaurln has a strong backing or support is refreshing. His enemies seem to think that < he is the cause of the disaffection from the PopQllstic wing of the Democratic party, for- j getting that their own recent lmpolltlo meth- I ods in forcing a large minority of their fellows j to wear a collar that didn't fit, is the cause 01 i the present division. As a rule the newspapers which assail Mc- , Laurln have not heretofore often been on the winning side. Their persecu- ( tlon of MoLau^in and the persistent mlsrep- J resentatlon of him In reference to the organi- i zatlon of a Republican parly will react. In the final accounting malicious misrepresents- , tlon of well kDown facts, will be set down in t the right column. j ? McLanrin'N Mistake. The offer of McLaurln to make General Hampton postmaster at Columbia was a mistake, but happily for the Senator, the General declined the offer. To pension General Hampton by giving him an offloe, which be Is physically unable to fill, would have reacted against McLaurln. As we understand, the Hampton element are fighting McLaurln in all parta of the State, and the great mass of the people who are supporting McLaurln are doing so because they believe be is making a step forward?not backward. Senator McLaurln need not seek to placate the followers of General Hampton. He cau't do that, and they will fight against bis advanced Ideas. The Senator will be supported by the business men, the manufacturers, the merchants, and a great number ol farmers, while the political voclferators of out of date ideas will work against him, and Ha ramnont nf thfl nnllfirml hfirtfcrfl nf twentv years ago, who still survive, will, as a rale, j support any opponent of McLaurJn, or any other candidate 'who looks torward instead of baokward. Young men, independent t thinkers, and courageous actors will align & themselves with AIcI<aurin. We expect these g facts to be so plain that even the good old 1 News and Courier may Borne day find out t thatthe revolution bas behind it a respecta- v bJe contingent which cannot be blufl'ed. The I News and Courier may be a little oonserva- J tive, but we have an abiding faith In the ultimate opening of its eyes. Tillman, like Hampton, has tired a number of citizens, and Tillman will live to see his bated colleague triumphantly re-elected to ?V:v the Senate. 1 H ??? The Greenville News. In the Greenville News appeared last week an editorial scoring the News and Courier, t and, sometimes, we regret that our c interesting contemporary was a little bit ill- * humored. The argument was all right, J nnlohhnr* hut If vou don't mind belne ' spoken to by a little country editor, we suggest that good humor and forceful argument are more effective than anything else. The man who Is conscious of being In the rlgbt can always afford to be courteous. Its the other fellow that betrays his sense of weakness or deleat by getting vexed. You know we are on the right side of the McLaurin question and we can afford to be good humored. If our Mountain City neighbor will bear with us a little more, we would suggest that It be especially courteous to the News and Courier because of the great good it is doing McLanrln. You see McLaurin secured the government exhiMt after Charleston's chosen friends had failed, and people in all parts of the State, aa well as In Charleston, feel that to McLaurin some credit is due. And then they do not quite understand why the metropolis should accept his favors and then abuse blm. w nen me ->ew? aau v. ourier bcciiid uoiiviuus i of McLaurln's friendship, and then proceeds to criticise unkindly tne Senator, his j frlendawlll stick the closer to him. I "The News and Courier Will Elect i McLnnrln." These words we have beard more than once on our streets. Of course the Press and Ban- j ner does not know how a large per cent, ol i our fellow-citizens will vote in the fight on i McLaurln. It may be tbat many voters do ' not themselves know, how they will vote, i but we do know that up to this time we have heard of no man in this County who had j made up his mind to vote with the enemies j of McLaurln. He would not, of course, get 1 the whole vote, but we are speaking of what j we have beard. Among the names of those who have expressed themselves as friendly to McLaurln could be mentioned some most excellent citizens in this County wbo < were at one time so intensely Tillmanlte . that they would not allow an anti-Tillman j paper in their houses. j Having worn Tillman's and Bryan's collars for a long time they are probably In no con" dltion to be dictated to by Mr. Tillman. * Neither are they ready to be driven by the old orowd that have been at enmity wltb tbem since the downfall of Hampton, and ineaaveni 01 rmmanisuj. I I ? The Dlirereuce. Id the years that are gone Mr. Tillman, if | we are not mistaken, was very severe In his ( denunciation of Hampton for his proposed | Interference at Aiken in the Congressional ] race. Now, those who take Senator AlcLaurin for ? a fool, desire him to let Tillman put in bis j lip against him In Joint discussion. Tillman will find that his gratuitous inter- { meddling in the race that doesn't concern him will be a very unprofitable business, even u It was to Hampton. i ' ' KcvoIntioiiN. Periodically this State seemsto bo swept by political waves. In 1876 Hampton led a revolution. In 1S7S Hitman started a movement which resulted n the overthrow of the Hampton rule In 1890. Sow McljRurln is at the head of a revolution which promises to sweep the tstate. This, jf course, is extremely distasteful to (he old Hampton crowd, who may have thought that with the passlngof Tillman, their time for return to the public crib was at hand. But revolution*) do not tio backward, Those who may be seeking to bring the Democratic parly back to the Hampton moorings will be disippointed. The old political party is about Lo take another step in the Hue of progress, ind it will be governed by new men and new issues. Hampton is now out, and neither he nor liis faction, cau ever hope to rule this State again, as it did after 1S70. It Is perfectly certain that Tillman's star is an the wane. He, like Hampton, has had his day of usefulness, and each has had his term of power. lu turn the word oi each was law. Their careers, in some respects, were not dissimilar. Each In turn ruled the State and directed the thoughts of the people who aeugtueu 10 nouor lueui, The treatment that has been accorded to McLaurln point him out as the coming man. His enemies, more than his friends, huve doue this. And his enemies have given us a eample of the methods which they propose to ndopt. Theirs seem to be the same old orthodox Hamptonlan plan of Intolerance which brought such great success to Tillman. Improving. If we are not In error General Hampton remained In the service of the McKlnley administration until removed. The General occupies higher ground now. He wouldn't icoept anything from Washington. ROAD IMPROVEMENT. Prospects for ? Good Kond to Verdery to take the Place of the Almost Impassable Dendy's Bridge Route. The Press and Banner is delighted to note Ihe prospect of an improved crossing of Long 2ane at JDendy Bridge on the road to Verdery. rhe Norrls Creek crossing is to be remedied oo, the Dendy's bridge across Long Cane will probably be abandoned for a sensible and easonable route across on a high bridge over Long Cane. The contemplated changes It is :hought. will not only give a good road to ake the place of the worst road in Abbeville Jounty, but It will shorten the distance possi}|y balf a mile. For thirty years tbe trade beyond Long Jane has been practically cut off from Aobepllle because of tbe streams, but our people rill be glad to bear of tbe prospect of a belter oad and better crossings. County Supervisor Nichols, we learn, Is glvng the proposed work bis best attention, and re are also glad to learn that bis associate on be Board, Mr. Richard Sondley Is alive to tbe lecesslty for the needed road improvement. iVlth these gentlemen actively at work on a icbeme for the betterment of tbe Interests of he County, as well as of the people oftbeClty, ve feel sure that the nuisance which has Inured the town for thirty years will be renoved. When tbe new road and tbe new >rldge is built Abbeville will owe the ofDcers >rofound gratitude. Owing to the fact that the crossing at Morris Creek is so bad?being about shoe nouth deep In water for perhaps fifty yardslumbers of people commit trespass in going nto a neighboring pasture, where logs and ind rafts are thrown Into the stream so that >edestrlans may cross dry shod. Tbe nulsince to the adjoining pasture is so great in >reaklng fences, and throwing logs in the :reek. that tbe owner will be compelled to tbandon tbe laud, or else prosecute offenders or trespass. To abandon tbe pasture will ncur considerable loss. To be put to the necessity of bunting trespassers and punishing hem is Unpleasant. For thlrty-tlve years >art of tbe laud thereabout bad beeu abanioned, and bad become to be regarded as a >ubllc park, and with no proper crossing at he big road, trespassers have presumed ou hat faot for going upon forbidden grouud.
