U~nder the circuimstances General McLaurin bhad great provocationl to say some very hard things when he got tc Marion, because he had the proof in his possession that certain politicians in that county had, for selfish pur poses endeavored to destroy him and with himi his friends who refused tc break away from him when things were appearently dark and dismal. Mctaurin did a noble deed, when it the face of what were his enemies, he snoke his feelings of appreciation tc those who did got let the forked tongue of slne move their loyalty to him. His references to Hon. J. .E Ellerbe showed McLaurin's manliness for this gentleman has lways stoot by McLaurin when Ellerbe's enemie tried to create the impression that h< was untrue. They succeeded so wel in making this impression on us, thai against the protest ot McLaurin we penned an editorial doing him- an in justice. We intimated that Ellerbe wanted McLaurin out of the Con gressional race to get himself into it when we now learn that he was as persistant in wanting McLaurin te stick to this district as we were. Mr Ed. Ellerbe has proven himself man and a true friend in spite c those who would have us believe % the contrary, and we are truly glac that Congressman McLaurin s< nobly acknowledged his gratitud< and appreciation of Ellerbe's friend ship, and we are also glad of an op portunity to do him the justice tha his mnanbood merits. CONTINUE THE CAMPAIGN. The campaigners will take a res for a few davs and then the bail wil be opened again. We notice the Columbia correspondent to the News and Courier is so very solicitout abotit the welfare of the Reforu cause that he is anxious for the cam paign meetings to cease.

The people are not tired of the campaign Imeetings a, the News and Courier's correspondent would have us believe, l-at they are heartily disgusted with tin maehod., empiuyed by Duncan. vu every Land we hour the people say if Duncan knows nothing the p e houid no l.oger submit to Lis dirt iusinuatioLs, and when the C' 11 paInCrs start ut agaiu if Dun ehashe., his bame stock-in-trade te pepLeL slould walk off and let him onjoy the sound of his own voice. The Reform novement start.-d the campaign speaking for the wiso pur pose of giving the people an oppor tunity to sue and bear the candidates, and although the meetings are small, it is not because of a lack of interCst as much as it is because of a pressure of .labor and business: last mouth with the farmer was one of his busiest. The ticople like the custom of hear ing the candidates, but when a set of z::en start out to break down a :nan and ignonimous defeat stares them in the face after the first round. there is no wonder whv they want to call :n the meetings. They want these meetings called in for their own good and not for the good of the Reform cause. They want these meetings called in, beenuse their candidate Judge Earle feels it would be wico.g Ifor him to go on the stump; they '-:ard it called in because their too! D.recan has :nade a~ failure and td.v woulid like to get ou't of whatever e.:m traict or understanding theyV hoe[ with him. Governor Evans is now Chic::.;o battling for the people and while he' is out of the State his enemies at [ome can hunt up material to light him on his return, but if they make ao better showing then, than they have since the opening of the iglt, they had better crawi into their hoioes and puil the holes in after them. In former days at a national con vention South Carolina did not ct munch of a figure, so munch so that at Ithe last national convention someo of the Pnewspapers sneeringly referredI jto our delegation as "poor boys' at a frolic" They do not say this now, Ibecause the South Carolina delega ioare much Bought after and Sen Iator Tillman is regarded as a high priest in the temple. There is no important step considered but what the "pitchfork Statesman" is con -ulte and~ r his judgemient highly Irespected, and to-Jay. Ben "Tiliman the clod-hopper fa'rer from Edge' field" is one of. if not the foremost Statesmen in America. It is said that Duncan's candidaey for the Senate .is a put-up job by some of his Newberry people who wanted tolget clear of him at home. They defeated him for the constito tio~nal convention and they had hoped it would close his mouth, but latterly indication~s pointed to his trying his hand again in local politics, SO someC of the shar p fellows whispered into his ear that he could get a good thing in the race against Governor Evans, )to try it and immortalize himself. tWell he has gone and done it sure enough, and the slick politicianrs of Newvberry arc now wearing balloon sleeves to hold their giggles.

I rely upon you for- strength-the politicians can't hurt me when you uphold and sustain my conduct !" Mr. McLaurin's words are partic ularly applicable to Mr. Ed. Ellerbe, because it is probable had McLaurin retired, Ed. Ellerbe would have been his successor. His unselfish support Uf McLaurin in these days of political geed is admirable. Such conduct feeds afresh the lamp of hope. We need soul as well as brain in our pub lic affairs. Lofty ideals, and gener ous hearts that rise above sordid con sidematious are needed in the public life of the nation and the State.-Co umbia Register. COLLEToYS HYENAS. Surely the people of Colleton do not approve the conduct of that drove of hyenas who howled down Solici tor Bellinger. If they do some one ought to offer a bill in the next ses sion of the legislature to appropriate a sufficient some of money to build a high wall around that county. It ought not be considered a part of the State, for it. certainly does not belong to the civilized portion of it.

D1.ENSE CROWIR AT THE MANNING (A UARDS' 'IUNIC. Sisters, Cousins, and Aunts Greet Each 0th-r- Candidates Thick-Brass But. tons Galore--The Guards the Idols of the Pretty Girls-Handsome Billy Johnson Wins the Medal -MeLaurin ami Watts Speak. The Mauning Guards proved themselves rest h)sts last Saturday, the 4th day of Jay. Thc crowd to be entertained at her arr..d picnic was the- largest that we have seez on such an occasion in the county. fLere were people from everywhere in1ail of them seemed to be bent on spend ing a happy fourth. The soldiers mingled with the crowd of girls and every fellow -;Eemd to be "stuck on himself and his hiandsome uniform." It was a great day and one long to be remembered. The can diiiws, well, they were there also, and the ;!everet set of fellows we ever saw, one aouhl nut express a wish but what one of hcs- caudidates stood ready and willing :> gratify that wish. If thirst overtook one, and the candidates found it out, they wuUld almost fall over each other to get water. 'Tis was very noticable and in several instances we saw men who ordi nariiy would not accommodate their grand mother, on this occasion they were the cleverest of the clever. When ttinner was announced a candi date ccld not be induced to eat anything for fear that somebody that could vote might think hard of him and a vote would be lost, but these vote-hunters are all right, some will get there and others will get sadly left and then they will console them selves by summing the number of liars in the county. The great event of the day came off at eleven o'clock when Captain W. C. Davis mounted a wagon and announced that on account of the necessity of the orator of the day, to catch a certain train he would open up the exercises a little earlier than he was wont to do, and in a very eloquent oration he introduced to the vast audience "our guest" Hon. John L. McLaurin "as a man, whom Clarendon had honored in the past who had proven true to every trust and whom she would delight to continue to honor in the future." Voice in the crowd: "We will too, he belongs to us." It was sometime before General Mc Laurin could commence, the applause was so great and continued, the very ground shook as the hundreds of voices rang out their huzzas and the ladies clapped their hands- and waved their handkerchiefs. Some of the young ladies were so enthusi astic, that the writer cautioned them with the admonition that handsome curly-haired Johnnie was no catch for them, because he has a wife and a wagon load of children. General McLaurin, after the applause subsided, btarted out by sticking a few pins into the candidates present and said that in some sections there seemed to be a lack of candidates, but this oertainly could not be charged to Clarendon. for there were about 1000 people present, and nearly every man that he met, was a eana didate for some office. This was a healthy sign, and certainly showed that everybody felt that he could get "a fair shake" in Clarendon. He was glad to see plenty of candidates. lIeferring to the wagon he was in, he said, they have made an inprovement on the old-fashioned plan of "stumping it," they take a wagon instead of a stump. Now all you fellows running cant get an offce, there aint e nough to go 'round; when yon get left, yon musn't get mad. Bemember the old say ing, "wait on the wagon and we'll all take a ride." [Laughter.] About this time a fence broke down and McLaurin said, "Look at those candidates breaking down Tindal's fenee." [Laugh. ter'.] Mr. McLaurin then spoke of what the Fourth of July meant, referred to the early daiys of the Republic and took op and con trasted the characters of Washington, Jef ferson and Hamilton. He said Washington was a great man and soldier, but at heart a monarchist, for he sympathized with Ham ilton rather than Jefferson. He referred to the ideas Jefferson imbibedl in France while our minister, from the writings of Voltaire and Rousseau, of his return to this country, and his foundation of the Democratic party as the party of the pea. ple. This portion of Mr. McLaurin's effort wa- fine as a literary and historical contri bution and we regret not having a steno graphic report. He then went on to con nect this fight begun by Jefferson with the present time. He made a clear and suc cinct statement of the question at issue. Hie went on to define the meaning of free coinage, "not the mere coinage of silver, but the use of silver conjointly with gold, to measure the property values of this country. He then detined what is meant by 16 to 1. Also what is meant by "inter national bimetallism." He told what is the origin of the gold reserve, comparing it to a barometer. Mr. McLaurin's exporition of these ques tions was listened to with closest attention and he gave much information that was new. In fact, we heard a State officer say McLaurin's speeches on this campaign had thrown light and made him understand matters that he had not known before. General McLaurin spoke an hour and discussed these intricate questions in such an easy, common sense way, that the most ignorant man present could readily under stand every point made. Every now and then some well-pointed anecdote or sally of wit would revive the interest and fix the attention of the crowd. After the speaking the General hastily ate his dinner and Mr. A. D. Witherspoon drove him across to Pinewood to take the Everybody regretted the departure of General McLaurin for be is a pet with the peopleC of this county. After a short intermission the rap, tap, tap of the drum went rolling through the air and from every direction came the sol diet boys. Some of them did not take timue to say good-bye to their sweet hearts and their hurried departure Drought a scowi on the pretty faces of those whose hiiss was so rudely brken into. Under the beamtiful oaks the Guards were drawn up' in line for the quarterly prize-drill and 'iach fellow had determination and anxiety depicted on his "nuntenance. Adjutant General 3. Gary Watts had arrived just be foro the conclurien of Con'gressman Me Laurin's speech and he was immediately gladly welcomed and made useful as well as ornamental. Captain Davis requested him to be one of the judges of the drill. Cadet Cantey and Lieut. A. C. Davis were the ot~er two. The drill was a fine one and the boys did some good work to win, but as all could not win, there being only one medal, of course only one could be success fu1 nA on this occasion the lncky man ASK the recovered dygeptics, bilious su erers, victims of fever and ague, the mercurial d iseased patient, how they re coveredhkealth-cheer ful spirits and good appetite; they will tell you by taking SIX till moxs LIVER RErW LATOR.

The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the Back, Sides or Joints, often midaken for Rheu matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite; Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache' Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation a having failed to do something which ought to have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick yellow appearance of the Skin and Byes, a dry Cough often mistaken for Codsumption.

MANUFACTURED ONLY BY J. N. ZEILIN & CO., Philadelphia, Pa. was Willie Johnson. When the judges an nounced their decision the unsuccessful boys did not sulk 'Out rcceived the decision d;ke men and with a smile of satisfaction on their countenances. One young lady was so delighted with the success of John son that she trod on the writer's toe s and gave as her excusa that she "was so glad." She might have been, but, we were not, with the impression she made. General Watts stepped forward to pre sent Sergeant Johnson with the beautiful gold medal. Before making the presenta tion, he told the boys that he had been in - formed that there exiited some dissatisfac tion in their ranks about the treatment they received in Atlanta. He then went into an explanation going to show that he bad done all in his power to make them comfortable; that he had made a contract with a man by the name of Black and had the assurance that the boys would be well taken care of. In the same quarters three other companies were also encata ed and these got there before the Manning Guards and as all young fellows on a big frolic will do, they went to work and did all the inno cent mischief they could; they turned on the hose and fooded the foors; they stole the covering from the cots, and it was a case of every fellow taking care of himself and he nor no one else could help it. Hav ing about 1,500 men to look after, he of course was kept busy with those whom he had detailed.for the work; he knew noth ing of what was going on in the quarters provided for the Manning Guards until the next day, and then he went to the party contracted with and complained. He was met with a counter complaint and was told of the way the soldiers had damaged the property, and he is now being sued for this damage. He was sorry - that the boys were Inconvenienced and he assured them it was no fault of his. Then he went on and complimented Captain Davis and his men, winding up with presenting Sergeant Johnson with the medal which the young man will proudly wear until some other fellow takes it away from him. Then dinner was served on tables form ing a hollow square and it is needless to say it was a tremendous amount of food prepared in the very best style. The com mitteo of arrangements did all they knew how to make everybody get a plenty, and if anybody went off without a good dinner the blame is on them and them alone, for not only did the committee look after the people but the candidates were very solic itous to see that the men especially were fed. It was a very enjoyable- day and the place selected cannot be beaten anywhere. The property belongs to Hon. James E. Tindal and is situated a short distance from Tindal's mill pond. The picnic was in the grove surrounding the commodious residence now occupied by Mr.C. ft. F. Ba ker,who threw open widehis doors and wel comed the ladies to take posession. He also rendered valuable assistance in mak ing the day a pleasant one and all who were there are certainly delighted with the Guards, Generals McLaurin and Watts and the next Fourth of July will be anx iously looked for. $100 R EWARD, S100.
