With ".My Dear Clark" letter on one side of the chimney jamb, and "My Dear Ap pelt" letter on the other, all that is needed to make every South Carolina sitting room attractive is the motto "God Bless Our Home" hung over the mantelpiece.-Regis ter. Yes, "Register," reference to the "My Dear A ppelt" letter at this time will show that this is not the only prophecy McLaurin made which has come ttue. What he said cf Gantt & Co. in 1894, when charg~ed, byGantt with treachery to Tillman and the Reform movement, is interesting reading and throws considerable light on the author of the "My Dear Clark" letter. Listen : "If the test came, like the miserable vultures that they are, they would be the first to turn and rend his vitals. I would have died a thousand deaths beforeI would let one of the political hell hounds, that can be bought like a piece of dogmeat in the market, pop his whip and drive me cringing to his master's feet." Again, speaking of the same crew, he says: "Miserable parasites and barnacles that can only exist amid uncleanness, and who, unless scraped off at regular intervals, eat through the hull and sink the stoutest ship." Again: "When I think of the dream I had, when we started out in 1888, to smash 'rings' and to have free speech, free thought and truly popular government, I do not want to see established as absolute a des potism as there is in 'Darkest Russia,' the alliance and all those great finan cial and governmental issues freight ed with the life or death of a nation dwarfed into the single question of how whisky shall be dished out to thirsty souls." Has not this prophecy come to pass? When one reads the "My Dear Clark" letter, the mind instantly goes back to McLaurin's famous speech1 in Spartanburg, when to Gantt's face, he denounced him as "an imported Georgia hireling, too deep in the filth, dirt and mire for a gentleman to~ notice," and when he said that "the huge Dispensary in Columbia, with its host of officials, was too cumber some and would finally corrupt any set of officials on earth, that the profit feature of the Dispensary was mor ally wrong, and only needed time to work its own downfall." The Beckroge trunk, "My Dear Clark" letter, the hocus pocus key, "put Secretary of State Tompkins on the stand and ask him was not some adulterated, Dispensary-made corn whisky once shipped out labeled -chemically pure' and guaranteed to have been analyzed by the State Chemist," and other developments now in progress, makes the utter ances of a statesman four years ago very, very interesting reading. THE TIES is a believer in the Dis pensary system, but if the institution must continue to breed scandals, the sooner the thing is done a-way with the better. The developments in the recent investigation has proven a whole lot of little rottenness, and while no one was hurt to any extent, yet there wais enough corruption proven to make as strong an advo cate of the Dispensary system as we are, shakey as to the advisability of continuing the concern. Not long ago we suggested to Governor Ellerbe the propriety of employing some of "'Pinkerton's finest," and when we made the sug gestion we had in mind the various insinuations made during and since the primary. Now, that the ball has, started to roll we renew our sugges tion that the best detectives in the land be employed to ferret . he corruption of the Dispensary, if any exists. Ben Tillman should com'e home with his tichfork and plunge it into that seething mass of filth now permeating the political atmosphere about the State Capitol. It is his duty to lend a helping hand in ex posing whatever rotton p:acas thei e 1). J. CII bJ +3 0 -p 0% 0m O MY SPRING LIN The Styl A Large Stock of N for Men, Boy. 3 and 4 button Cutaway av Sacks.

[From the Hampton Guardian.] longressian McLaurin's admir le presentation of the advance ut made by the people of South rolina in manufactures as well as agriculture must surely accom sh mnuch good. Various modes of vertising have been tried, with the L *w to present to outsiders the ad atages of South Carolina as a field -profitable investment. We have ight the notice of investors by dif ent methods. To a great extent- 0 a most encouraging extent-we ve added to our industries, and ve induced the incoming of very ;irable immigrants. Our facilities manufacturing, our admirable mate, our varied soil, all these ve been, to a very gratifying ex it, come to be known and appre ted by people in those particular tions of the country, from which may expect settlers or investors. Jongressman McLaurin, however, ose a field which had not been .d before-the halls of the Con ?ss of the United States. In thus esenting a statement of our ad ncement and our advantages, Mr. J -Laurin has undoubtedly done the I .tte a most valuable service. What v so well said has gone from one end ( this vast country to the other. I ready some of the leading papers ve noted his statement and thus t inted out the advantages and at tctions of the Southern States. uis sort of advertisement must rely bear fruit-though it may ke time for the good effects to be tually felt. Ihere can be no possible doubt of e proposition-that if the actual vantages of South Carolina could understood in the North and est, we should have no trouble in inpeting with our neighbors for a .e share of the capital that is com to this section and that must ntinue to come. It is true that .r farmers have gone through a ag season of depression and diffi lty. They have witnessed the nstant decline of the prices of their oducts. They have found it hard :eed to sustain themselves and ntinue their brave fight against t verse conditions. Their condition -day is not one of ease or indeed of i tisfactory progress. But, recog- I ring all this, the fact remains that r people have withstood the -ains of the past eight or ten years .ite as well as those of other see 0 >ns of the Union. seemingly far re prosperous. We have had no tual sufferings-no cry for bread, thout the bread to meet it. We ye had no serious conflicts be een capital and labor-no serious( turbance of the relations between uployers and their employees. We ye stood the strain better than the ople of the North or even the est, where there might seem the tue opportunities as we have for erting actual suffering. All this eaks well for our section. Added these things are facts and figures ch as those which Congressman ~Laurin presented in his recent eech. rhe people of South Carolina may 11l take heart from a consideration her natural advantages and of r fine progress in the recent past.( people ever had greater difficul s to contend with-no peonle ever t their troubles with wjre cour e. It is surely a source of en uragement, as well as pride, that, twithstanding all drawbacks, the] ate makes such an ex'cellent show along the lines of material pro ess. The present is not without difficulties and d iscou ragements. t there is enough in the evidencest the real achievements of our peo to encourage and sustain them. t them but continue the brave orts they are now making, and eir brightest hopes will soon be lized. WHAT WE INHERIT are not to blame for. We cannot be di responsible for dispositions and tend ies which we derive fro i our ancestors, r are we responsible for the germs ofi ease which may manifest themselves in blood as a heritage from former genera us. But we are responsible if we allow se germs to develop into serious diseas which will impair our usefulness and1 ;troy our happiness. We are responsi if we transmit to our descendants the ease germs which it is possible for us to dicate by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla one true blood purifier.
