Sims, a prominent Curious Phases of Politics. Evidently Senator McLanrin absented himself from the meetings at Union and Chester, S. C., last Thursday, Friday and Satur- ) day not on account of tho sickness ! of his daughter but because he ! realized that he was not wanted and that those were not times and places for him; for he spoke Friday at Ord way, a point near Westminster, S. C. Three different accounts of his meeting h- en ??i i-i? in mr |iu|iri ? irairniiiy, "uvr nun an audience of 2,000?one report said over 2,000 ?and agreed that it ffus a gathering of farmers and that the attention was close and the applause liberal. A Greenville special of the 8th to The Charleston News and Courier, concerning the occasion, is as follows: Senator McLaurin delivered an address at Ordway to-day, some ten miles from Westminister. Something over two thousand people were present and listened with marked attention, and gave him generous applause whenever he made a telling hit. Hia address was before and under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World. His line of speech was similar to that made at Greenville, and he had the crowd with him fully on bis exposition of expansion, merchant marine and the Pans treaty. In no case was the applause more I 4 _ Al -1 1 I - ? neariy man mm wnicn louowea bis denunciation of bossism, ring rule and puppet committ* eiwrn. The large crowd waa totally unexpected, and his reception for the first time before a strictly farmers' meeting makes his friends and followers qnite jubilant. What is so perplexing about this whole business is this: If Mc~ Laurin's movement is of so little consequence and if, as Tillman says, he cannot carry a county in the State, bow comes it that after weeks of advertising a two days' meeting with thirty speakers at Union, and an infinite beating of | tom-tomn. the Tillman lay-out bad but 800 people there one day and 1,000 the aext, with 1,000 at Chester.Saturday,while McLaurin had 2,000 farmers at O I'd way at a meeting of which no notice bad been given outside the neighborhood? And how comes it that he was well received and had hearty applause while the Tillmanite audiences of three days were unresponsive and Tillman's famous j hand primary was so flat a failure at Union that he got mad? Again, why was it necessary,if McLaurin cuts no.figure in Senth Carolina politics, for a parcel of politicians j to go trooping over the State in ! an off-year, taking him for their j text und taking the vocabulary of. .... 1 *i- -- I <iia?.i\^uaiilinui III WAJJl CSIMUg lllflir opinion of him i We would know what to think under the same state of facts up hero ? nut maybe South Carolinians are different.?Charlotte Observer. The anti-McLaurin combination of senatorial candidates can hardly preserve unity. There are too many discordant elements in the combination, not to mention jealousies which will arise when one seems to forge ahead of another. It is well known there is no love lost between Latimer and Johnstone, and it is hinted the relations be tween Kvans and Latimer are not more cordial. The common purpose of beating McLaurin cannot hold them together forever. It is a compliment to McLaurin, bowaver, that the prospective candidates against him should so thoroughly realize his strength as to fee' the necessity of making m combined assault upon him.? Kach of the candidates seem to inderstand that McLaurin is the nan he has to beat.?Columbia Absmthing the Cotton Mills. |f Columbia, Aug. 14 ?The board of equalization of South Carolina, recently provided for by the Leg- ^ ialature to fix the assessments for taxation of cotton trillu, fertilizer and oil mill property, ia now engaged upon itm important work.? ^ After hearing today from cotton <! mill rtfnuiilaiil. trnm all otroi" thn t State the board adopted the plan 8 of assessing cotton milts according f to the market value of their stocks * and bonds instead of upon the 8 spindle basis. Heretofore the ? State has assessed this class of i property just as an> other real t estate and peraontil ptoperty. s The results of the change made r necessary by the phenomenal 1 growth of these industries remains * to be aeen. It is believed, how- I ever, that the amount received by r the State will be larger than uu- a der the old system.

W. A. M. Plaxco. ^ Mr President, Members and 1 tends of the Waxhaw and * ihilph Bible Society :?1 beg you j 0 consider mv appearance in the phere of the lecturer as an ex>re?Mon ol my interest in this ind kindred institutions. You re to be congrat ulated on having 1 branch organization of The j American Bible Society that is .oth t&ithfin and efficient. I hall be glad if a word or an effort ^ >n my part may serve its interests. ] <*or 1 consider it and similar in- i titutions as signs ot our times, as larhingers of the truth and the | neans of increased evangelistic ictivitv. t The subject to which we direct i 'our attention is The Principle of [ 1 Associated Effort. ^ ( That, this subject is. worthy! rour consideration no one who , ibserves the signs of the times j :an doubt. Its importance forces * tself on the reflecting. Indeed j' >ne of the most remarkable , drcumstances or features of our imes is the energy with which The Principle of Associated Efort is manifesting itself. It may >e said without much exaggerition that all great enterprises , ire founded upon and carried for- ! ward now bv associated effort, i Men have learned what wonders < ;an be accomplised by associated . iffort, and seem to think that j jnited effort is competent to ! everything. Would men propagate | >ne set of opinions or suppress another, they form a society. Would they encourage agriculture [nanufactures or science, they 1 Form a society. Would they ' Manipulate the market and reg i iilate prices, they organize a trust. ! Indeed, the whole world to day is trganizing. We see artists and ' Artisans, the learned professions tnd the mechanical arts, all kinds it men in all classes, ail conlitions and grades ot society organizing. You can scarcely name < i in object for which some institu J Lion has not been formed. Thus nee have immense institutions ipreading over the country com- ^ lining hosts for particular objects. < lud we have minute ramifications if these penetrating everywhere 1 sonveying immense resources o the parent society. This ' ^ Principle of Associated Effort is i vorthy the consideration of the 1 ihilosopher who simply aims to inderstand society and its most lowerful springs. To the phi anthropiat and the Christian it is irofoundly interesting; for it is an ncslculable source of power and nust act either for good or evil, I o an extent which no man can j livitie, or conprehend. With the met then may we not sing? "We are living wo are dwelling, In a grand and awful time, ( 1 in an age on agea telling? | 'lo be living 1h sublime." ''Nothing will await our conenience. Nothing is indulgent o a dilatory policy. Nothing is olerant of a somnolent enter- 1 irise.'' f In considering this subject let i is seek first for an explanation fl f "The Principle of Associated iffort;" second, let us note the dvantages of associated effort; hird, seek to discover a principle n iy which to distinguish good t rom pernicious societies; and j hen make an application of the rinciple.' Its philosophy lies in the im- 1 dense facility given to intercourse a y modern improvements, by in- y reased commerce, by the post- y dice, by the steamboat, by the ( ailroad. by telegraphy, and esecially by the printing press ewspapers, periodicals and other n ublications.
