In his speech on the Porto Rican appropriation, Senator Tillman, in refering to Pie sident McKinley, said: "I'm willing to trust William McKinley," con tinuing he said, "He is a patri otic and noble man." We call at tention to these expressions sim ply to ask if because Senator Tillman found reason to thus ex press himself, will some of our State newspapers charge him with having "Republican ten dencies?" It seems that a cer tain newspaper coterie has de termined to destroy the influence John L. McLaurin has with his people, and they take every op portunity to misrepresent him. McLaurin is young and progres sive. He believes in grasping situations as they exist, and pre sent thlmselves. He is not one to hug a delusion because t comes to him in the drapery of ancestral robes, nor does he wor ship at the shrine of antiquity. McLaurin was opposed to this country going to war, but war came, and with it conditions arose, which called for a map ping out of policies to suit the emergency. Dewey entered the harbor of Manila and from the mouths of his guns he delivered an ultimatum which gave notice to the world that as a result of the war between the United States and Spain, the Philip pine Islands would become a part of our possessions- ,A com mission was appointed to treat with Spain, which met in Paris, and there between our represen tatives and those of Spain, a sol emn compact was signed, and which has been recorded on the pages of history as the "Paris Treaty." There was opposition to the ratitication of this docu ment, and while the question was pending, the leader of the De mocratic party, William Jen nings Bryan, went to Washing ton and counselled his party to vote for the ratification of the treaty- Senator McLaurin was among the number who first re garded the policy of the adminis tration as tending towards im perialism and made a speech on that line. Then all at once a *nother condition arose. The f|ir ing on the United States flag by the forces of Aguinaldo: this brought the question out of party politics, and it commended itself to the country's loyalty. Mc Laurin is a Democrat and has al ways stood loyally by the dec larations of his party. The pirty had not spoken, nor had it had a chance to speak, and when the country's flag was fired upon, he threw aside all other considera tions and heeded the advice of W. J. Bryan by voting to ratify the treaty. Because he did this, a certain newspaper element has been with malice aforethought, withholding from the people what McLaurin is doing in the Senate, and reproducing one from another,all of the disparag =ing things said about him. Had McLaurin used the language at-, tributed to Tillman, "I am wil ling to trust William McKinley," or "He is a patriot and noble man," every one of these hide bound anti-treaty newer. e~rs' would have been full of special attention to "Republican ten dencies." Tillman and McLaurin differ on the Philippine question. Tillman is opposed to it solely on political grounds, McLaurin fa vors it, because he believes it'to be an opening up of new markets for Southern products. He be lieves that an entry into a warm climate, means the increasing of the demands for what is raised and manufactui-ed in the South, and that the Southern farmier, merchant and laborer will be benefited. McLaurin views the matter from a practical business standpoint, and notwithstanding the fact the Democratie party has not declar-ed on this question, some Democrats would have it appeari that whoever has the temerity to agree with the pres ent administration, is a Pepubli can and a traitor to his party. If, the Democratic convention the disciples of Thomas Jefferson will remind them of the Louisiana purchase. The acquisition of Florida in 1819 by Monroe. The annexation of Texas, of Califonia, and of other States by Polk, and that the precedent for expansion has been set by Democratic ad ministrations. At present we zre satisfied the opposition to Me Laurin has succeeded in becloud ing the issue and the man, but true greatness will not be hidden long, and McLaurin will come forth, and his record will rift the cloud-it will come forth in purity and brilliancy, and instead of having the finger of suspicion pointed at him, the populace will turn upon his accusers and defa mn ers with sneers of derision and scorn.

Gary's candidacy for gubernatorial hon ors. Whether there is any foundation for the rumor we (do not know, and hope it is not true. We do know that Senator Till man is very friendly to the Gary family and he has manifested that friendship in many ways. He made the mistake of his poli tical life when he undertook to save John Gary Evans from de feat. That was not his judgment, but he permitted his name to be affixed to the circular, entirely from a spirit of friendliness to the Gary family. We doubt ex ceedingly if there is a member of that family who would have been heard from at all, as far as high political honors are con cerned, had it not been for Till ian. He is their political father. and through him nearly th e en tire connection, near and remote, have been, and are now, filling prominent positions, both of honor and emoluments. We think it high time and very proper, af ter such a long and careful train ing that Senator Tilhnan turn his proteges loose, and let them take their chances without his aid. If Colonel Gary, a most ex cellent gentlemen, wants to be governor he should come forth and present his claims to the people. He should not wait to be carried about in the arms of his political father, for that fath er is under obligations to many men throughout the State, some of whom may be aspirants for gubernatorial honors. Senator Tillman will be a candidate him self and we hope he will not have opposition, but opposition or no opposition, he will be re-elected to succeod himself to the United States Senate, and this being so, we think he ought not take a hand in the gubernatorial race, and that he should permit all of the aspirants to paddle their own canoes. We have been asked why it is, that having been mentioned as a probable candidate for Congress, we mention in our columns the work which is being done by Hon. James Norton. It is this, we are running a newspaper and propose as long as our connec tion is with THE TIMEs, to give redit where credit is due, and when we see one of our repre sentatives doing good work for his constituents we feel it to be but honest to let our readers know it. To do otherwise would be robbing our representative f what is justly his, and in our opinion, if withholding is rob bing, we in fairness and honesty, can not withhold. Congress man Norton has accomplished more work which will be of prac. ical benefit to his constituents in this session, than has been ac omplished in several sessions. This is not all, he has succeeded in reaching the ear of the con trolling influences in Washing ton, and it would not surprise us in the least, if in a year or so, a United States cour-t house is built at Florence, within easy reach of the entir-e 6th District. Norton is not a wind machine to make a noise without results, but he is a man of indomitable energy, and tireless in any wor-k he sets out to do, and we think it but fair to say so.

It always For Blood, S Hood's It Cures Scro The English-Boer War. Editor The Manninc Times: The war between the English and the Boers goes merrily on. and to the great disappointment and chagrin ( J the English and their svmpa th1ers in different parts of the world, the end of the struggle is nor in sight. To the surprise of the English the lIoers have not. as yet, thrown up the sponge in acknowledgeIment of defeat. neither have ther laid down their arms and submitted to the placing on their necks by siuuh-nosed and triky Englishmen tie galling yoke of -iglish biondagre. To overthrow a lipublican govern ment. and with its overthrow enslave a gallant people. the Engl ish are now waging ierce.ly an unjust and an unholy war. The object of the war on the part of the English beyond any doubt. is for gain. and to gratify an inborn desire for greedy avariciousness. a desire that is as natural for an Englishman to possess as it is for water to run down hill. Regardless of the great oids against them. and the unlimited re sources of a proud and vindictive foe. a foe on whose dominion true sun never sets. these gallant Boers have in every instance of bloody conflict met with un flinching valor like men the ter rible shock of battle. and on many flelds of courage these weak but brave people have met, and with undying praise for themselves as a peolle. repelled the unholy onslaughts of the unjust. greedy and avaricious Englishmen. Though from the latest accounts now current. it now appears that these gal lant people will have in the past made all their noble sacrifices in vain. and at last these game people will have to vield to overwhelning numbers and brute force on the part of their over mnerous English foe. The English army now number on Boer territory according to English ac counts. two hundred and thirteen thous and men. with three thousand more heading for the Transvaal. making in all an enormous army of two hundred and sixteen thousand men. To con front this mighty host of greed. the Boers has but forty-five thousand men. Backed by such decided advantage. every indication now shamefully point to the triumph of the English arms. The grand opportunity has now arrived for some strong friendly pover to in tervene in behalt of these gallant and struggling patriots and help them save their Republican government and their by perpetuate their national existence. Some friendly power should now step in and tell these avaricious Englishmen to take their thieving ingers from the throats of those Boer patriots. and de mand at once the immediat e withdrawal of their hosts of tyranny from the soil [of a people, who by their daring deeds of valor in this confliet, and by the noble sacrifice; they have made in life and treasure in defence of their nat ional existance. deserve eternally to he a free peo pl e. We hbelieve that the sy mpat hy of nine-tenths of the pe-ople of South Carolina and the p~eop~le generally of the United States are heart and soul with these struggling and patriotic p~eo ple, and we do in all sincerity of heart bid them God speed in their most holy resistance to wrong. and may He who rules the universe and holds the destiny of all people as it were, in the hollow of Hand, give them a final and signal victory, and may their numerous ene mies now soon be ignominiously driven from their shores, and may these gal lant people still retain their position among the Republican governments of the world and remain forever free from the paws of the greedy and avaricious British lion.

In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like a warty summner squash.

SGROFULII RND ITS RWFUL HORRORS -CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. A M1OST WONDERFUL CURE. A Grand Old Lady Gives Her Experience. Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton, Livingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born in the year 1812, the year of the great war, in Iebron. Washington Co., New York. She came to 3Michigan in 1S40, the year of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re tentive memory. her mind is full of interesting reminiscences of her early life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit ness. But nothing in her varied and manifold recollections are 'more mar velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences in the use of JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed and is cursing the lives or thousands and marking thousands more as vic tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation t) generatIon. It is found in neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap pearance in dreadful running sores, in unsightly swellings in the neck or goitre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane, it may be known as catarrh in the head, or developing in the lungs it may be, and often is, the prime cause or consumption. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Iurd says: "I was troubled for many years with a bad skin disease. 'My arms and limbs would break out In a mass of sores. discharging yellow matter. M1y neck began to swell and became very unsightly in appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions.. My eyes were alro greatly Inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very much. My blood wrt% ;a a very bad condition and my head ached severely at frequent intervals, nnd I had no appetite. I had sores also In my ears. I was in a miserable condition, I had tried every remedy that had been recom mended, and doctor after doctor had failed. One of the best physicians "n the state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as internal abeesses were beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and his famous Sarsaparilla. I tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any thing else. as I had no faith in it, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking it. I took a great many bottles. But I steadily improved until I became entirely well. All the sores healed up. all the bad symptcms disappeared. I gained perfect health. and I have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady of 83 years is not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA Is the greatest blood purifier and the best medicine in the wide world, both for scrofula and as a spring medicine." This remarkably interesting old lady did not lok to bhe more than sixty, and she repeated several times, "I believe my life was saved by JOENSTON'S SARSAPARILLA." 3EC'itG.8'DXTGC 4CC>MPA-a1_&wY, DXrgr QxT, 3=Kr Dr. W.
