FULL GROWN AND NOT DEAD. Mr. Itcthea Tliluks McLunlri Shows Luck of Appreciation. Columbia, May 4.-Lieut. Gover nor A. J. Uethea sees in Senator J. L. McLaurln'a announcement for Lieutenant Governor an effort to use Hie political pulmotor to vitalize what the Lieutenant Governor terms a political corps?.. He declares the statement of the Senator that the of fice of Lieutenant Governor is one "which no grown man wants and a live one won't have," a confession of the petrified state of the Senator, speaking politically, and does not think the breath of political life can be pumped back into him. He thinks also that the Senator's reference to the ollce of Lieutenant Governor shows a lack of apprecia tion of many men who have hold that ellice and helped to make illustrious the history of the State, and says it ls unworthy of him. Dcthou's Statement. Mr. Bethen says there is ample time before the campaign for him to say whether or not he will run for re election, but he ls "calling" Senator McLaurin and analyzing his an nouncement as he sees it. His state ment in full is: "1 am not worried over McLaurin's anntnii,cement for Lieutenant Gover nor The ofllce belongs to the peo ple and not to me, and he or any other man who caa comply with ! te rules of the Democratic party has a right to run. There is ample time before tho campaign opens for mo to give to the public my views, whether I stand for this ofllce or some other. lt does not take a Solomon, how over, lo see that McLaurin's real ? ar p?se is to head off Lever, Bollock, Blease and others in an effort to suc ceed Senator Tillman in tho United States Senate. "Commissioner McLaurin's state ment that Hie ofllce ol* Lieu te ll Kilt Governor is 'an ellice no grown man wants and no live man would have.' is unworthy and shows a lack of ap preciation of many men who aavo helped to make illustrious the his tory of South Carolina. But distin guished men like Christopher Gads den, .lohn Drayton, Richard de Tre ville, D. K. Hennigan, W. D. Simp son, .lohn C. Sheppard, Eugene B.

The King of Italy re ceives $3,750,000; Hie Emperor of Germany $4,000.000. and the Empe ror of Austria $5.250,000 from the State, and the two latter, like the Czar of Russia, have enormous pr? vale incomes.
