In the Philippines 200 dialects

It ?3 the President's purpose to
promoto the officers who rendered
conspicuously meritous services in
the land fights at Manila, just as
was done in the case of the gallant
officers at Santiago.
The Philippint. Islands, over
which Gen. Merritt will rule as
military governor, have an area
exceeding that of the New England

"Trade follows the flag" is the
ancient maxim. Applied to Cuba
and Porto Rico it means a com

Judge Day left the cabinet be
cause he was too poor to be a sec

appointed, it is said, John Hay,
who is a millionaire, and another
^-millionaire, White Law Reid, will
be ambassador to England. Hay
and Reid were newspaper men
and married "pluttercrat wives."
Governor Ellerbe seems to have
made a "help me Cassius, or 1

Edgefield, but the astute politician
was to snarp to get mixed up in
the fight. He mingled with the
boys but did not make a speech.

Seven hundred Spaniards have
been cremated near Santiago. They !
died of disease and it seemed to
be the only humane way to dis
pose of them. Stacked upon rails
and crossties to the height of ten
feet, they were saturated with
kerosene and then set on fire. Half
burned bodies strewed the ceme
tery. The sight was horrible.
The design of the Dewey mem

A great sensation has developed

There is an increased acreage of '
cotton all over this beautiful un
dulating region, and it betokens a
most bountiful crop. How kind ,
these farmers are to us. We get
our cotton goods now for almost
nothing, but the farmers sympa- (

to make them cheaper still. i

In the Philippines they sweep

Senator Archer has been poking
the auimals at a lively rate. At
Edgefield he made a jab which
came near bringing the blood.
On the platform Candidate Archer
said:
It was very peculiar that Neal's
report gave J. B. Watson, of Ander
son, credit for $1.60 for the hire of
30 convicts for one year.
This is a very serious intimation
wen it is remembered that the
Watson referred to is very nearly
related to the said Neal. We have
had intimations of this character
before and in view of the -fact that'
the said Neal has assumed the role
of grand high muck-a-muck for
state and Manager for Governor
Ellerbe, it is a little strange that
this penitentiary report has figuf ed
iso little in the preoent campaign.
Now what is Superintendent Neal
going to do about it. Is he going
to doctor his bookkeeping, or will
he lie low and say nothing. The
case is with you Mr. Neal !. Senator
Archer rests.-Spartanburg Her

Dun's commercial agency gives
the following as a resume of the
business outlook for the week end
ing Ang. 27th:
The volume of business. .fleeted
in exchanges at the principal
clearing houses is 20.4 per cent,
larger than last year, and 26.8
per cent, larger than in 1892,
heretofore the year of largest
business and highest prospeity
ever known. Part of this increase
was due to speculation at New
York, but there remains a healthy
increase over the best of previous
years, and though in some branches
business is not satisfactory in
character, in nearly all it is in
volume larger than ever before.
No nnfavorable change appears in
the prospect of crops upon which
the welfare of the country so largely
depends, nor is there present
threatening financiai disturbance.
Europe haB not wearied of buying
American securities, although
some speculators have been sel?Dg,
nor is there shown any want of
confidence among American inves
tors. The money maket is running
smoothly, without any symptom
of danger, and the unusual delay
^iSIBufjD6or^?^?wLcr0P?S^^?
carried in the banks of that
section.
WHAT KIND OF A DEMO
CRAT IS THIS?
Senator McLaurin favored the
Republican doctrine of protection
in his campaign for the United
States Senate, and a good many
foolish democrats voted for him,
although they must have known it
was a|departure ^from the faith of
the fathers, and now he goes a step
further and favors the re-election
of republican President McKinley,
hear him:
"If the Presidential election
should take place now," says Sen
ator McLaurin with great earnest
ness, "I would be in favor of re
nominating him by acclamation
and electing him without putting
another candidate in the field
against him. He has shown won
derful judgment in dealing with
the war problem. I voted for the
recognition of Cuban independ
ence, but I am free to admit I made
a great mistake. The President
was right in refusing to recognize
the insurgents. They have demon
strated to ail reasonable men that
they are nothing short of a coward
ly band of robbers, without an or
ganized form of government or any
army. The President has done a
great and lasting service to the
country in utilizing the war to
wipe out all traces of sectionalism,
he has known no section or party
in the administration of the high
duties imposed upon him, and his
appointments of Butler, Lee,
Wheeler, Gordon, to high and re
spo isible positions has won the
hearts and sympathy of the men
and women of the South, and he is
to-day the pride of the entire na
tion. I predict that his peace
policy will be as wiee and firm and
as much of a success as was his
war policy."

Cincinnati, 0., Aug. 24-The
Democratic State convention
adopted these resolutions today:
"We particularly endorse the
financial plank therein, declaring
for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the ratio of
16 to 1, independent of any other

patriotic conduct in peace and war
)f that braye leader of democracy,

The platform favors an income

iistril ution of tho war taxation

is upon its labor."

Southern Planters Have a Plan,
Which is Said to -tie the Only
On. That Can Save Them From
Impending Disaster. A Warn
ing.
The following letter on the
vitally important subject of the
handling of this year's cotton crop
has been received by the president
of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Association :
Fairfax, Aug. 22, 1868
Hon. J. C. Wilborn, Yorkville,
S. C.
My Dear Sir: I have just return
ed from Memphis, Tenn., where I
have been as the vicepresident
for South Carolina to attend a
meeting of the executive committee
of the American Cotton Growers
Protection Association. At this
meeting, after electing Col. Max
well, of Louisiana, president, to
succeed the late Hon. Hector D.
Lane, deceased, and after simplify
ing the title of the organization by
changing it to that of the National
Cotton Growers Union, it was
determined by the president and
vice-presidents to inaugurate a
vigorous policy on the part of the
cotton growers of the South to
meet the requirements of the
present threatening exigency of
lower prices and impending ruin.
From the best informed and
most reliable sourcoa of informa
tion, the committee unanimously
amved at the conclusion that the
present crop would fully equal, if
no exceed the last, and, if rapidly
thrown upon the market, would in
all probabil ity sell far below 5 cts.
In view of the fact that the cotton
growers have the present crop of
from ten to twelve million bales
now in hand, while manufactures
and speculators have only about
three million balee, if that, and
that if the cotton growers would
withhold the present crop from the
market for 90 days, say till Decem
ber 1st, the world would be bare of
cotton and at the mercy of the
cotton growers for their supply,
determined to effect a thorough
and complete organization of the
cotton growers beginning with the
smallest geographical sub-division
with a view of holding the present
crop and following up this line of
action, through the medinm of
township clubs, by enrolling all
It is manifestly, clear that such
a line of proceeding would place
the cotton growers in command
of the situation and change the
outlook from one of bankruptcy
and run to one of profit and com
petency.
It further seems than an effort
in this line would meet with tba
aid and approval of almost every
businese interest in the south.
Well knowing that the principal
obstacle to the accomplishment of
this undertaking would consist in
the maturing obligatiens of the
cotton growers, incurred in the
production of the crop, a special
committee has been arranged for,
consisting of one member from
each State, to confer with
capitalists and provide the neces
sary funds to take up these l'ens
and carry the cotton until such'
time as it can be disposed of at
a profit.
Under instructions from the
executive committee of the Nat
ional Cotton Growers Union, with
a view of placing South Carolina
in a position to carry out these
propositions, I now call upon you
as the president of the organization
in this State to call a convention
to meet in Columbia at the earliest
possible day. Please UBS such
diligence as will secure a full
representation from each county
in the State.
Should our State act with
promptness and decision, it would
in all probability have a most
happy effect on all the other cotton
growing States.
Th?s is a matter of vital conse
quence to the entire cotton belt
and too important to brook any
unnecessay delay.
While I have thought proper to
give you an outline of the commit
tee's plan of proceedure, it was
thought best by the committee
not to make it public just yet.
Yours very sincerely,
L. W. YOUMAKS.
Senator McLaurin has put his
foot into it, and his latest devia
tion from the proper course of a
democratic official reminds others
of his action soon after he entered
the United StateB Seuafe. Per
haps his first appointment was
given t* a populist, the avowed
leader of that party in South Caro
lina, when he put Mr. J. W. Bow
den in office and displaced a dem
ocrat. Senator McLaurin needs
ballast in his public career, and is
fast proving his incapacity as a

AIS" ATTACK OF HYSTERIA.
A Tendency to Look Only at
Surface ' Indications-Let Us
Suspend Judgment Until We
Know the Facts.
The Atlanta Constitution com
ments as followsupon the hys
terical declarations of the junior
Senator from South Carolina :
lu publishing the interview The
News and Courier intimates that
McLaurin was "carried away with
his success" in securing some
concession with regard to a South
South Carolina regiment, and
that it was on this account that
he went into the fit of "hysteria
which seems to have attacked him
on the White House steps.
For the sake of the Senator, for
whom The Constitution has high
regard, wo trust the report of his
interview is not correct. If it is,
I * * *
it indicates a tendency to look only
at surface indications, which ie
expected of a United States Sena
tor. This sort of thing is on th?
same plane as the work of the Was.
hington journalists who hav<
succeeded in filling a great deal oj:
space in certain newspapers witj
descriptions of "how splendid^
the President has stood the strain f
of how "there is still color in t??
Presidential cheeks" or is net,
just as suits the writer's fancy; ?f
-"midnight vigils" and a lot )f
other rot in the same strain.
The country can see nothiig
wonderful in the part the Pr?sidait
has played in this war. He las
acted as a sensible, wideawfke
American through it all ; he Iras
.had neither hysteria nor the im
jams, and has done his part wall.
He has done his full duty. There
has been nolhiug wonderful in that
The Senator makes grave anc se
rious charges against the Cubans,
and in this jumps at conclusions
with a haste that is unseemly.. Be
cause a lot of the American sol
diers sent tj Santiago to do police
duty have disgraced themselves,
the army, and the country, does
ihat warrant the Cuban regarding
th? American people as robbers,
thieves, firebugs, and rape fiends?
Because some of the Cubans stole
food and clothing from the soldiers,
are all the Cubans to be damned
as "cowardly xobbeis," as Senatoi
McLaurin sees them?
It may be that those ?vho voted
recognition made a mistake, but il
is the duty of a United States Sen
ator, as well as the rest of us, tc
suspend judgment until we knoi*
the facts.

leads to his crying out for the
unanimoub re-election of the' man
who, however good and wise he
may be personally, stands for all
that is bad in American politics;
if he is going to let visits to the
White House have that effect upon
his judgment, in all kindness we
advise him to stay away. Too
great intimacy at that mansion has
worked havoc on the political as
pirations of mauy a man."
In Spite of Hard Times.
About fout years ago Mr.
J H Pearce came to Williamsburg
from Darlington county. He was
a poor man and had to work as a
farm laborer at six dollars a
month, he worked hard aev
odhis money and now owns a
comfortable home near Cades, a
well-stocked farm of 250 acres and
is out of debt. This has been
done in four years by a man
dependent on his own labor, in
"If c price can be placed on pain, 'Mother's
Friend ' is worth Its weight in gold as an allevi
ator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al
together with her last, having previously used
four bottles of ' Mother's Friend.' It ls a blessing
to any one expecting to become a mother," says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie
tors and manufacturers of "Mother's
Friend." This successful remedy ia not
one of the many internal medicines ad
vertised to do unreasonable things, .but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in aading strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth?
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

His is only one of the several

aringthe last few years, men
darting with no capital, have suc

England is said to have contratc
d with the Pocahontas Coal Co.,
to furnish coal for all her coaling
stations. Seven cargoes have been
recently shipped, aggregating over
se jenty thousand tons. If this be
true it is evident that in the event
of an Anglo-Russian war England
will not be caught unsupplied with
coal as Spain was. It is possible
also that the awarding of such a
contract to an American concern
may have its bearing on the
attitude of the United States.
England evidently desires the
backing of the United States and
it is not unlikely that she would
receive considerable encourage
ment from America. We have
never had a serious difficulty with
Russia but there is no bond of
sympathy between either the gov
ernments or peoples of the two
counties.-Ex..
? The attitude of the enlisted men
in the First Regiment who wish to
be mustered out of the service will
obtain the sympathy and support
of their families and friends it
home. Under the most favorable
circumstances camp and garrison
life will not attract the average
South Carolinian) and such servioe
in a tropical climate with the ex
posure to disease and excessive
heat will utterly fall to charm our
soldiers. The war department
seems to be anxious to meet the
wishes of all the soldiers, and it is
evident that petitions for release
from service will be duly consider
ed, whether or not the officers of
any regiment are favorable.
Volunteers are not to be treated ae
regulars, and their wishes in
regard to continuance in service
ought to be respected not only by
the war department, but by theil
commanding officers as well.
