McLaurin and Tillman. i'eoplo aro often misunderstood, and sometimes they liavo spent most of their lives trying to accom plish some good, but have ro coivod no reward in thia world. People have boon abused for crimes that they aro not guilty of, simply because they aro misunderstood, be cause peoplo did not think as they thought nor seo tilings as they saw them. Wo should bo more careful and be suro wo thoroughly under stand a man before wc condemn him. There bas been much suffering en dured by mon and women because people criticised thom and charged them with crimes of which they were absolutely guiltless. A man's motives should be brought into consideration before you pass judgment upon him. Do him no harm until you are absolutely certain that his motives aro wrong. Wc may do wrong when wc arc trying to do good. A man should be tho roughly conscientious in all his acts. It often happens that a man is doing good, but is misunderstood ; tb oro is somebody that doesn't think exactly as he does, and does not view things from thc same standpoint that ho does, and lie is unjustly criticised and bemoaned for, what they sup pose, his wrong doing. Senator MoLaurin mr y have acted wisely in the Senate, bul he is the subject of much uncomplimentary talk, ami abuse i m measurably is heaped upon him by Senator Tillman and Iiis friends. If MoLaurin was rightly understood-and lu* will bo some day-thc people might be giv ing him credit for his wise fore thought and unlimited praise for the course he took. There are some people who will always be Tillmnnitcs and will always support him for thc simple reason that they are ignorant, and Tillman has been able to drive muon of his devilment into their heads. Tillman is a notorious character, a sensational speaker, an opponent of all good, a promoter of strife and contention among thc people, an enemy of the church and a cunning, unprincipled politician. I do not profess to bc a MoLaurin man, for I am not altogether an ad vocate of bis doctrino, but I do want li i m to have his rights in the matter, and I want Iiis actions, in thc Senate to haye due consideration before he is condemned and branded as a Re publican. I neither say that he was right or wrong, but I ?lo think thal he was conscientious in the stand he took in tho Senate ; and before Till man's present tenn expires the peo ple of South Carolina may bc ready to say that MoLaurin was right ; that ho suffered much abuse at the hands of the peoplo because they did not understand him and could not see as far ahead of them as they could throw a stone. In my opinion Tillman's political career is nearing an end. I don't think ho will ever bo elected to tho Senate or any other oflicC again. Ile seems to bo constantly losing ground. The people aro beginning to lind out what a raserai ho is. Ho was olCotod by tho Uoform .Move ment when ho first ran f?>r Governor and not by his own merits. South Carolina is nono tho better off to day because ol his having been in the Governor's chair, and tho people of the State flo not seem to appreci ate his service in the .Senate. [fe is a shrewd politician, a fiery speaker and just tho right man to fool the common people (and that elass in cludes a big majority ol* tho voters of the State). Ko fooled many of them, too, but they are gradually falling away from him, and dither going to thc MoLaurin crowd or staying out ol* politics altogether. I don't claim to ]?' so well posted on politics, and, as yet, I am no poli tician. If there is any especially disgusting and hard life it surely is that of a politician. Politics have become very corrupt, ll seems that tho mau WilO can usc the most slang, tell the most lies, sling 'he most mud and act the biggest hypocrite is Un successful one. I do not make this statement to cast any rollection upon tho characters of any of our ofiicorS of the State, but as a general rule this is tlx; state of affairs all over our country. It is not con ii ned en tirely to South Carolina, but exists in all thc Stales, and in sonic per haps to a worse dcgroo and in a Woree form than it ?loes here. It is not always the most competent man who is elected to O ill CC ; in fact, it is seldom the (rase. This day and time it is lin honor rather than a disgrace to be defeated, for il is not the most honorable and upright candidate who gains the victory in tho campaign. These are my views, ami if they aro right I am right, and if they are wrong I am wrong. Very respectfully, lihott li. Doyle. Chester, s. c., .lune is.

Stato Geologist Karlo Sloan lins gono to work enorgotically to soo to it that tho minorai resources of South Carolina nro rightly displayed in tho South Caro lina building at tho Exposition. Ho has proparod a circular lottor which ho is Bonding broadcast ovor tho Stato, and it will doubtless attract widosprond atton tion. Tho lottor ?B in nil cnsos accom panied by forms which can readily bo tilled out with vnlunblo information looking to rondoring tho mineral exhibit completo and interesting. Tho circular lottor prepared hy tho Stato Geologist ?B as follows: Charleston, S. C., Juno ir>, 1001. My Dear Sir: At tho last session of tho Legislature of this Stato it was pro posed by Act that tho Stnto should oroct a suitable building at tho South Carob na Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, to bo opened Docombor 1, 1001, for tho exhibition of tho products and resources of South Carolina, and for tho oxecutiou of this purpose a hoard of commissioners was appointed, with tho Governor ns ox-of?cio chairman. Through agreement with theso com missioners it is tho purpose of tho State Geologist to co-opcrato with thc citizens of this Stato in securing such an impos ing display of tho mineral products, and such au exhibit of tho industrial re sources of South Carolina, as might oxcito interest in these features and pro moto tho fuller development of their values. Prominent space in tho State building will ho ceded for a colloctivo exhibit of tho minerals, ores and manu factured mineral products from the counties of this Stato. lt is believed that such an aggregated minorai collec tion from all of tho counties will bo moro imposing and will moro surely ongago tho attention of those visitors in quest of such interests than could ho accom plished through independent displays hy individual counties. It is proposed to catalogue accord i ug to tho relating counties all mineral speci mens, samples, water powers, mineral springs, etc., and include abrief descrip tion of each deposit t>r feature so that each county shall ho accorded duo credit for such resources as it might display in this collective exhibit. Printed copies of this catalogue shall bo available to interested parties. Duo attention shall be accorded arti cles manufactured from thc mineral pro ducts of this State, such as decorative terra cotta, tiling, oil pressed brick, bro brick, vitrified brick, otc, etc. In addition to this collective mineral exhibit tho State (?eologist will arrange for a collective exhibit of tho forest pro ducts of this Stato. In awarding the prizes offered by tho Stato commissioners to the conidios mak :ng tho best exhibits, tho judges will credit each county with a full considera tion for all minerals, mineral products and forest products contributed by such county to tho aggregated collection, Thercforo tho respective hoards of tho county commissioners of this Exposition and all others interested in theso matters aro urged to co-operate with the Stato Geologist, and you aro asked to uso your porsonal influence to insure the success of this undertaking. The importance to your community of availing itself of this proposition is para mount, therefore, kindly prevail upon tho owners of minoral and forest proper ties or interests to furnish such largo select specimens as should afford an alluring exhibit. These specimens shall ho cared for and returned upon the clos ing of tho Exposition if so desired; other wise they shall ho reserved for tho State geological collection to be permanently installed. Those who hold interests in quarries or deposits of building stone aro advised of the importance of having their spool* mon blocks of stone carefully eut and dressed with tho most becoming finish, and they aro especially asked to send, in addition to other sizes, one block of their building stono measuring oight inches cubo, becomingly dressed. If you either own orean ascertain tho oxistonco of any valuable mineral do posits, quarries or building material, clays or water powers, mineral springs or other natural features of industrial valuo in your locality, kindly soouro tho fullest precise available information as to the features outlined in the accom panying circular sheets Nos. I and 2. If your locality affords anv superior forest products kindly urge upon those interested tho importance of sending specimens or samples for exhibition as provided in the suggestions on tho accompanying circular Shoot No. il, lt is earnestly asked that all common carriers and their local agents will co operate in securing the necessary speci mens and in facilitating this important work in all territory tributary lo their respective lines. When specimens or samples are ready for shipment, apply te the slate Geolo gist for a shipping card which will outille tho package, to which it is attached, to transportation to th?! Px po sition grounds. Mark and consign such packages to Earle Sloan, State ecologist, South Cand?na Inter-State and wost Indian Exposition grounds, Charleston, S. C. You will also insert an Identification card, with specimen or sample, as will I usuro proper recognition of tho origin of the accompanying specimen. Asking that, you kindly accord theso matters attention at your earliest convenience and that you will give definite asnuraneo of specimen cont ributions to this exhibit , I am, Yours respectfully, Earle Sloan, State Geologist.

Tho British national debt is over four billions, but, liko tho United States, Great Britain still expects to pay principal as well as interest, or, at least, has no thought of repudiating it, oven if it is novor paid. Franco still struggles to pay tho interest on hor entire national debt, but at least three-fourths of it is regarded as irredeomablo, whilo Spain, Italy, Turkey and Austria-IIun gary aro practically bankrupt countries. Nobody expects tho debts of these nations to bo paid. Tho only quest ion is, will they be able to continuo to pay tho inter est?
