Sumter, S. C. Opposite Bank of Sumter. HIS HEARTFAILEID 11131. The opponents of Congressman McLaurin have been stalking about ever since McLaurin 'expressed ideas without first securing permission from self-constituted bosses, and with much gusto told how Stanyarne Wil son would play the annihilation act. The time came 1r the r'ole to be played and the following dispatch --Ja.QJae report of what took place: W'ashington, March 31.-The ex pected attack of Stanyarne Wilson on John L McLaurin did not material ize to-day. Wilson made a speech on the tariff, the outcome of which was amusing. It was talked around that he was to attack McLaurin, and the latter was ready for him. Instead of attacking his colleague, Wilson proceeded to attack the position of Congressman Linney, of North Cars. olina. Mr. Wilson viciously jumped on the tariff and said that the South did not want protection. The speech in no way touched upon McLaurin. The latter obtained an opportunity for a speech, and instead of referring to Wilson jumped on a Michigan Republican named Smith. During his speech, McLaurin was heartily applauded by Democrats and Republicans. McLaurin defended John C. Calhoun's course from the attack made on it by Smith. He said -that South Carolinians "believe as firmly as ever that protection for the sake of protection is wrong, and that it is robbery. We beliete also that it is robbery to protect the fin ished products made by trusts and combines at the expense of the farm ers who. produce the raw material." He(aid~ that the cotton planter should not only share in the burdens, but should participate in the benefits of all legislation. The South should not be compelled to produce cotton in competition with the whole world and then only allow us to purchase in the restricted markets left by your protective walls. The producers of raw material should be treated with the same fairness that is to be ex tended to those who make the finished article. McLaurin attacked the Republi cans with gloves offE He especially assailed the retro-active amendment adopted to-day and asked why they didn't go back further with their leg islation. The Democrats heartily cheered his attack on the Republi cans. McLaurin's speech in no way re tracted, but rather emphasized his views of a few days ago,but it cleared his position somewhat. It showed that he has no sympathy with the Republicans. The Columbia "Register" has cer tainly not done itself credit in its treatment of Congressman McLaurin and it will feel the effects of its un fairness at the hands of the people. Not only did it antagonize Mc Laurin's position without giving its readers an opportunity of knowing wvhat McLaurin said, but it also had the unfairness to refuse to publish an open letter from a prominent citizen who agreed with our distinguished Representative. Fortunately, how ever, there are other newspapers in the State that are not so contracted in their views, and they are regarded as opposed to Mr. McLaurin, but as they took occasion to comment on the speech, in a spirit of fair-play, they allowed their readers to see a full synopsis of the speech and the views of those who endorse it. Just why the "Register" has acted in this -anner is beyond our comprehension. D. J.

CHANDL Su1t eI as it is known that the paper has heretofore been a loud supporter of Mr. McLaurin. We concede the right of a newspaper to be the judge of its own management, and to reject or publish whatever it sees fit, but when a newspaper differs with the utterances of a public servant it has no right to make known its views and to antagonize those utterances without giving the public an oppor unity of knowing what the public ervant did, or said. In the "Register's" refusal to pub ish McLaurin's speech and also the ell written letter of Captain D. J. Bradham, it deserves the condemna ion of all fair-minded people. Our friend Ball, of the Greenville News," wants to hear us dilate on IcLaurin's part in the "Forty" ovement. We have no doubt but hat a compliance with his wishes ould be very pleasing to him, but e think, as did Judge Aldrich, now eceased, when before him stood a awyer who was very persistent in rying to impress the court with his osition, and when His Honor polite v intimated there was no necessity for the lawyer to proceed, the lawyer leaded "Your Honor~ I was just ilating" and before he finished his entence the judge, very much pro oked, said "'you dilate too damn mch, sit down, sir." Now, if we ndertake to dilate as the "News"~ would have us, we might meet from1 ur readers the fste of the persistent lwyer and be told that we "dilate* too damn much." That must have been a disappoint ng spectacle in the national House f Representatives when the "Orator! f the Piedmont"Hon. Stanyarne Wil son made such a complete flunk afte < his boast to "do McLaurin up" fbr the progressive views expressed in the speech which has become famous! hroughout the Union. Wilson, it is said, is grooming him self to succeed Ben Tillman in the enate and after the delivery of Mc aurin's speech, his friends did a vast mount of boasting as to how he ould crush Mciaurin and his' "tariff heresies," but when the oppor unity was afforded him he failed to pecify, and well he did. Wilson is fine speaker and very much of a cholar, but when he tackles the "silver tongued orator of the Pee Dee," he will realize tuie meaning of going up against a buzz saw." No, Brother Ball, life is too short o become involved in a controversy here we know at the start that no rgument that we might bring to bear would have the effect of chang ing your very extreme views. We ike you, friend Ball with all of your diosyncrasies, and we feel a great~ sympathy for one so young and andsome to have become addicted to the habit of grambling, sneering nd strife-stirring. We had hoped that when you left the city of "blind tigers" and pitched your tent in the city of "pure air" that it would have softening effect on your vision and your would.writings be more conserva tive. But to our sad disappointment the"blind tiger"atmosphere which you recently left has become so imbedded into your system that we fear all of the pure air of Paris Mountain and our tears and prayers will never tear you away from the idols to which you BNDLER.

The many Jordanites who braved the inclement weather and gathered at the Jordan Academy last Friday evening, were certainly given a treat in the literary and musical line. The occasion was an entertainment given by the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. These pupils decided recently to give an entertainment, the prime fac tor of which was to be a debate on the query, "Resolved, That woman is not and man is." The participants in this were: Affirmative, Misses Tea Wells, Fannie Davis, Mary Plowden and Kate Sprott ; negative, Misses Julia and Florence Flagg, Clara Belle Davis and Alma Sprott, eight of Jor dan's host o'f intellectual and pretty maidens. The way the affirmative side presented the power, strength and mighty achievements of man, and the way the negative side met these arguments with forceful and logical assertions that woman is equal to and able to cope with man in nearly all avocations, was interesting and en teitaining, which is saying the least of it. They traced man and his works from Adam up to we modern suckers, and woman and her influence from Eve up to Mrs. - The debates were excellent in ar gument, some being keenly inter spersed with keen wit and humor, All elicited rounds of well deserved applause. It was decided by the committee that "woman is not." But if she "isn't," then what I mistook for her was very much in evidence that night. The balance of the program con sisted of music, vocal and instru mental, a humorous recitation by Miss Janet Wells, representing Sa mantha Allen on a "pleasure exer tioD," and another by Miss Annie Burgess, both of which were excellent and an indian club drill which was superb. I won't enter into a detailed de scription of the music, but by way of describing its variety and excellence will say that while it didn't give the musicians immortal fame as Appollo's lyre gave to him, nor did it shake mountains or change the course of rivers, as Orpheus' mytholozical voice is said to have done, nor did it lure to destruction its enchanted hearers, as the wonderful voices of the sirens are said to have done, still, it did have the effect of making some of the men complain of their hair standing straight. Who that was there can accuse me of being extravagant in my praise of it ? C. L. A SPECIAL MUSICAL GIFT TO ALL READERS OF OUR PAPER. The very latest musical composition to enlist popular approval is "The Broad Street Conservatory M1arch," composed by a young Philadelphian, Roland H. Smith, a pupil of the popular institution to whom .his work is dedicated. It is highly inspir inlg, suggestive of the popular marches written by Sousa. It has been played by eall the leading theatre orchestras, and con cert bands in the Quaker city, and at the seaside and mountain resorts. The piano part of this excellent march has just been issued, and through a special arrangement ewith the author we are enabled to present sa copy free to every reader of this paper who will send name and address, enclosing this notice and six cents in stamps to cover amailing and postage, to the Broad Street Conservatory of MJusic, 1331 South Broad -Street. Philadelphia. The retail price .of the March is 40 cents and this is an offer that should be appreciated by our musical . friends. Dots From Sandy Grove. We still have plenty of rain.

There was a gruff fellow once who said that he never had to consult the almanac or the weather to know when spring was approaching.
