"Protect me, Lord, from these thy salsts, tl
sanctimonious Tew;
Oh! save me Irnm their clutches when a
mortgages come due.
Oh ! put me uot Into the hands of these, tl
men of woe.
Who call this earth a 'vale of tears', at
strive to make It so.
Oh ! guard me Irorn the blue-nosed good \vl
lend at ten per cent.
And take a twice Ave hundred lien for nlnel
shillings lent.
Make me. tDstead, the debtor of 6ome mo
with human taint;
At any rate, protect me, Lord, from these, tb
modern saint6.
"Their thoughts are far from mortal life; the
never, never sin;
They strive to bring to righteousness the ver
men tbey skin ;
They never go a step astray; they never delg
to smile,
They sin not. and tbey only aim to castigal
the vile.
Bat, oh ! why should they count it best wit
cold and holy arts
To rivet strong sheet iron shields around tbel
stony hearts?
Their ears are deaf enough. God wot, to pleac
ins and complaints,
And so I pray, pootect me, Lord, from thes
thy modern saints.
Oh ! save me from the sanctified, the too uc
common good.
Who tell us what we sbonldo't do and preacl
us what we should ;
TboBe saints who squeeze a shilling twice an
wear cheap aureoles
Will take our chlldreu's bread end then af
tempt to save our souls !
Give me. instead, a worldly man, with som
few healthy stains,
That sbows be has the common blood of man
hood in his veins
And heart that swells enough sometimes t
overthrow constraints;
Bat In my need protect me, Lord, from sel
appointed saints!"

', entire charge ol ita captain?Senator John 1
McLaurln. Material in the shape of acre*
a presented Itself today but the make up ol th
.. passage list has not yet been made becaus
care has been taken in avoiding tbe shoalt
J the dynamite of Tillman ; tbe snags of Dem
i ocratio opposition aud the dangers of rottln
tied up to tbe starling point. It will be ai
eventful trip, and one fraught with lntenr
Interest not only to tbe captain. Senator Mc

" large. That the captaiu is now In earnest am
6 bent upon making tbe port of Re-election 1
certain. Today he came to Greenville t
0 show the people ol the State what manner c
8 boat be had to launch and bow he expectei
8 to make the trip.
Early In April a committee consisting ?

' A. McCullough, Frank Hammond, W. J
. Tnackston, Lewis W. Parker, W. C. Beacbam
a W. L>. Metts, A. A. Bristow, A. G. Furmai
and A. J. S. Tbomas invited Senator Mel hu
s rlu to oome to Greenville and "make a lorma
e presentation, from his standpoint, of cerlali
national Issues now before tbe people."
It does not follow that all of these gentle
" men are supporters or ^euaior mcijaunn, ou
tbey did want to hear His views and did wan
e others to hear them. That was why Senato
3 McLaurla was here and right boldly did h
proclaim his views.
First ol all he Insisted "I am a Democrat
but,?regardless of party lines or fealty
r Bland lor Industrial success aud commercla
'. trlump." All through me speech, the ver;
J core of It ran: Locally and secuonally "I au
a Democrat,''but he added, "I assert, lellov
;, citizens, however, ttat It Is almost a crlm
e for any pariy tu muke great, broad, nou

There were several glaring, shining feature
t to the address today?they stood out like th
>1 spires ol a church, and when eununcialei
biought forth applause. They were the cai
d dlnal features ol and briefly summarized Lb
d speech. Tbey were:
r 1st. Irrespective of party be stood forth
great commercial and iudustrial Interests c
d the nation.
2nd. "I have broken up," he said, "iiegr
government and carpelbaglsm in South Care
y Una.
3rd. "I am a Democrat In spite of all th
i- slanders thai have been oirculated agalns
me.
y 4th. "I recognize no boss. In or out of th
I. Stale, and am free from Tillman's coattall.
s Mb. "Nobody but a fool would now mak
a speech on free silver.
i, Otb. "I am expansionist.
Q 7tb. Favors the principle of ship subsidy
11 but not committed to any paitlcular bill.
8th. A "steal Is not a "steal" when It 1
i- going the way of other folks.
r, 9th. The Isthmus cannl means southeri
prosperity.
l- 10th. I am In the senate for what I can ge
for South Carolina, not to further my persona

e 11th. The friend and advocate of Caper
and Cbatee.
y 12th. Has kind words for Charleston expc
i- sltlon.
18th. Insists the only way he can be de
J, feated is to be forced out of the primary.
14th. "1 am honest. My worst enemy nei;
I- er charged that a dirty dollar has evercrossei
J. the palm of my hand;" is honest in the be
h. Iter that be Ik right in principles and tha
y principles are above party Hues.
ie There was a great deal more to the speed
for it lasted more than two hours and when 1
t- was over Senator McLaurin was thorough),
ie fagtlued and looked somewhat worn. It wa
u crisis for htm, he realized it and be thrcs

if what he said. It was a good speech, aud fron
his standpoint strong. At times it rote to dt
d elded eloquence, full of heart and mennln
it and then it went to the ridiculous jibing a

II tbe reader will compare some of th
s prices of water In Abbeville and Cbarlestoi
e It will be seen that tbe city of Abbeville ba
J an advantageous trade for water for her oil
- zens.
e Tbe Abbeville corporation, for fire purposes
pays nothlDg for water. Water to sprlokl
e the public square Is free. Charlestoo pay
f SS40 for each hydr*nt in the city. Fifty by
drauts costing 842,000. Abbeville has all th<
o bydrants that tbe water commission deernei
> necessary, and water is furnished for all o
them without tbe cost of a cent,
e Abbeville has another great advantage o
t Charleston. Tbe water for Abbeville i
pumped from a deep well hi a rock that run
e down several hundred feet. It is perfectlj
pure, while Charleston must get her watei
e from a Goose Creek, ten miles In tbe country
Some people would not drl?k water Iron
either a goose creek or a goose pond.
', It may be asked bow Abbeville gets sue!
cheap water for private and public uses. Th
s water plant belongs to the city. Itcostabou
880,000. For the flrst year or two the city op
a erated the plant. The annual deficit wa
something like 82,000,
t About a year ago the Abbeville Electrl
,1 Light Company proposed, if tbe plant wa
turned over to them, to reduce the meter rati
s to citizens from 30 cents a thousand gal Ions t<
20 cents a thousand gallons. Tbe Electrli
>- Company further agreed to furnish free o
rnnt. nil Ihfl wh1.pt thn.T. michf ha rmprlpil fc%
Are purposes, and lo sprinkle the publli
square dally.
> The Klectric Light Company colleots thi
il bills.
When they took charge, they run th(
t pumps at night In connection with the elec
irlo lights. The old air compressor was no
h used any more. A small pump lifts the wate
t about twenty feet Into a leservolr, when It li
y pumped Into the standplpe.
s The custom of criticising public officers un
v favorably, by chronic fault-finders, runs bacl
o to a date beyond our recollection, but wi
n think the citizens of Abbeville have ever:
!- reason to be satisfied with their good fortum
g in the way ol good water at cheap rates. Thi
t people owe the water commission and thi
s city council a vote of thanks. It was tbrougt
their enterprise and the co-operation ot th<
v Electric Light Company that water was re
o duced from 80 cents to 20 cents, and the an
e nual deficit of 82,000 in the city treasnry, hai
e been stopped. For a time it looked like thi
y waterworks would bankrupt the town. Bu
g the big expense over income has been stopped
t and the people get water at one-third less,
s No city council and no water commlsslor
ever did a better thing than when the con
it tract with the Electric Light Company wai
k concluded. Without having the figures a
if hand, It is fair lo presume that, taken to
I- getlier, our electric lights and our water costi
the town not much more than did the old oi
I. lamps.
s The fact is. the water is too cheap. No flrn
o can make a living collecting 25 cents a montt
i? for water, or 20 cents per thousand gallons fo
0 the smal I quantity that the citizens use. Tin
it price ought to be .raised to, say :>5 cents i
1 thousand gallons. The Press aud Hanne
I office uses about 1,2W) gallons a month. 'I'll
i, Idea of having that amount, of water run inti
g one's place of business for 25 cents is a prepoe
e terous proposition. We couldn't catch rail
e water in a gulley at. tLat price. Justtlilnko
