The editor of The Newberry Herald and News does make a first class private Secretary to Governor McSweeney, but as a political teacher and prophet, he is "nix comer ous, fer stas do." It is indeed amusing to see some editors try to jump on what they think is a popular side, but if they don't mind, instead of land ing on a rock, their feet will strike a banana. peel, their vision will be filled with stars, and their basic principals will need repairs. The Herald and News, usually a very conservative and sensible newspaper, has joined the popu lar clamor to damn those who advance a thought without hav ing it first submitted to the een sorship of a leader: but :>ur friend, the editor of this hereto fore sensible newspaper, is living in Columbia, breathing the same air with the editor of The State, and possibly drinking the same. kind of water. Both of these genial souls are posing as boun cers for the Democratic party, with self authorized power to give the . "get-thee-hence." to any man who dares to think for himself,or differ from them. The people sIre not to be considered in the least; if our sweet temper ed frieild, Narciso Gener Gonza les concludes that a man must get out of the party, his newly acquired Sancho Col. E. H. Aull, concurs in"me-too" response with a voice full of screech-owl melo dy. These two editors have be come inoeulated with each others wisdom, anal it is but natural that they should speak the same thoughts. But no, there may be some method in our friend Aull's doing the same shadow-dance stunt with his bosom friend Nar ciso. Latimer is a candidate for the Senate, and he hails from Aull's congressional baliwick and if we mistake not, Aull has ever been a Latimer supporter. It is possible, on this account he is willing to encourage friend Gon . i" his~ self appointed role of mnito: for the Democratic party, 2:i th hope that Latimer will . ) big reported a bad boy when the political school is call ed to order next May. But Gonzales manufacturing hot tamales in dolumbia, and Aull trying to swap them off for "Weine wurst" in the.- Dutch Fork, will in our opinion prove profitless to the thrifty Latimer. Aull will realize that Mexican cop per mines, and commissions on enlarged photographs turn in more dividends to Latimier than placing his hope for Senatorial .honors in the hands of two editors who under take to stop reason and argu ment by the same methods that streams of water are stopped. A stream of water may be stopped by damning it, but it takes some thing else besides damning to stop the fiow of argument and reason. It is indeed painful, and as we write our eyes are burning with tears. to see and realize that our friend Aull has been enticed astray by that cunning Gonzales of the Columba State. it is mo tifying to have our hopes so ignominously crushed by those we love. But we had fears of this, and for that reason we begged and pleaded, exhorted and prayed with the Newberry lad, not to fall into bad company when he reached the metropolis. However, notwithstanding our warnings, beseechings, entreat ies and prayers, the glittering enticements of city life were too tempting for our unsophisticated country friend, he has been lured away from the paths of rectitude in which we so careful ly placed him with our blessing. It is our only consolation that as long as there is life there is hope, and we will therefore keep on snufiing our candle that our light may hold out to burn to guide his return. We are told "while the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return." We can not without a desperate bleeds when we think that poor Aull pious in his inclinations and rearing, should leave a happy country home where more cranks have been smitten by political frost than any spot on earth, to go to a city, "the head centre of devilment," where sin is as thick as leaves on the trees, and fall into the hands of bunco-steerers, and although they have enticed him, through the wicked machi nations of that impious Gonza les, into the same paths that led poor Tray on to his misfortunes we will continue throwing out our life line" to him and pray the more earnestly to rescue him Sfrom that grave yard now mark ed by the tomb stones of Moon, Pope, Jones, and other Newber rians who were warned and tney heeded not. The reportorial staff of the Columbia State did magnificient work last week in covering the reunion. Each issue of The State from the beginning to the end of festivities is well worth preserving, and we venture to say that better work could not have been done in any city in the Union. The mass of matter so minute in detail, interestingly written and attractively prepared is indeed worthy of the most sin cere praize. . The great State reunion of Confederate veterans' for 1901 has been looked forward to, with high anticipations for many months. and as the time drew near the more anxious were the old survivors to visit the capitol city and participate in the pleas ures offered them. They went, had a royal time, shook hands with comrades they had not seen since the surrender, talked over the past, spun yarns, hurrahed for Hampton. Gordon and But ler, marched in the grand parade and for the time being they were lords of all they surveyed. They came back home and every one of them is singing the praizes of the people of Columbia for the warm reception, the tender care and the royal entertainment giv en to the V'old vet's." Columbia from all accounts must have formed herself into a committee of the whole and left nothing un done to make the stay of the old soldiers happy. We congratu late the city upon its magnifi eient success. We are glad to see that the disposition of intolerance re cently manifested by a great many people towards those who expressed- views different from political idols is beginning to disappear, and in its stead, there is beginning to be seen a dis position to think and investigate. The maledictions that have re cently been hurled at Senator McLaurin for advocating certain policies has had the effect to cause many people to r-ead and exaiine for themselves ~the questions in issue, with the re sult that those whohlav~e breadth of mind enough to put aside their prejudice are anxious to hear the questions discussed in a manner befitting men aspiring to high psitions. Senator McLaurin is to deliver a speech.on the 22nd, inst., in the city of Greenville and the entire Democracy of this State will read that speech with great care. If he shows that he has not renounced his fealty to Democratic principles, but that his position is Democratic, there will be a great change of senti ment throughout the State. Of course no Democrat would fol low McLaurin or a'nybody else out of the Democratic party, and those who admire the indenen dent attitude that has been char acteristic of the Senator's politi cal career are much encou'raged by the apparent desire to have the questions and policies that have been so severely criticized explained to the people.

Loryea, McDonald Farman Picnicks Near Jordan. One of the sweetest little villages in South Carolina is Jordan. down in the lower nart of Clarendon. Your cor respondlent speaks from personal obser-: vation, for we were there last week. Just at this season of the year, when nature is clothing everything in bright spring attire, Jordan insensibly re minds one of a sweet, lively school girl just entering her teens. The village is roomy and nicely shaded. One of its most prominent features is the academy, which is a very large building and would do great credit to a considerable town. The school is a large one. with Fr. E. H. Hall of Fairfield as principal and Miss Beulah Buress of Jordan as assistant. The late J. M. Sprott, who wr a member of the constitutional conven tion. lived near Jordan. Not only is the village svweet .one. and not only are the young ladies of this section sweet lookin, but the peo ple are very intelligent, indeed it is 0ne of the most intelligent commIullie-. we have struck in our travels ove-r tl State. Thursday night we had the pleasure of attending a meeting of the Epworth league. and part of the prc ceedings were .ssays and remarks from both sexes on distinguished Americans. These essays displayed a spirit of re search most commendable, and we sin cerely wish other villages would pat tern after Jordan in making investiga tions into American history. In company with the Jordan people, your correspondent attended a picnie Friday which was held several miles off at the home of Col. S. Warren Nel son-a place that is admirably adapted to such an occasion, and is situated near the yellow water of "broad San tee.' The Nelson place is of itself more than ordinary interesting. The land was granted in 1728 to three Nelson brother's-cousins of the colonel's grandfather. The residerc. was built in 1723 and burat in 189S. Another handsome residence is now being erect ed. The surrounding country breathes of Revolutionary memories. Nelson's ferry, so famous in the historic strug gle, is about five miles off, and the Nel son place is about three miles from two crossings. both of which bear the name of Cornwallis crossing-one is situated on Wyboo and the other on Taw Caw. It may also be mentioned that both those old Revolutionary warriors, Sum ter and Hampton, were married five or six miles from this place.. Your correspondent talked a good de.-l with Colonel Nelson, whose man ners and bearing unconsciously reminds one of the courtly "old school" gentle man He is full of interesting remin iscences and not only does he spring from Revolutionary'stock, but was the first man from Clarendon county to en ter the Confederate service. He was on General Bonham's staff and was ad jutant of Nelson's battalion from its formation until its close. It may also be mentioned that Colonel Nelson is one of the few men now living who served in the legislature during ante bellum days, having been first elected to that body in 1852, nearly half a cen tury age. Of the picnic itself we must say a few words. It was a very sociable occasion and was _e from that stiffness so often characteristic of picnics. The crowd spent the day partly in visiting the river and walking over the pretty and spacious grounds of the Nelson .home. Before breaking up.some of the ladies sang a good deal and commenced with that popular air, -'A sweet bunch of daisies." The singing sounded sweet as it floated on the spring breezes and it added interest to that delightful picnic held near the banks of old Santee, a river made famous in Revolutionary annals by the exploits of " Marion's Men'' and whose name has been made classic by Bryant's matchless poem. -McDonald Furman in The State. Privateer. Sumter Co., May 6, 1901. "-It is w.th a good deal of pleasure and satis fac:ion that I recommend Chamberlain's Cohe. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy."- srays Drug gist A. WV. Sawtelle of Hartford, Conn. --A lady customer. seeing the remedy exposed for sale on my show case, said to me: - I really believe that mnedicine sav-ed my life the past summer while at the shore. and she became sa ethusias tic over its merits that I at once nmde up my mind to recommend it in the future. Recently a gentleman came into my store so overcome with colic pains that he sank at once to the floor. I :gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the dose and in fifteen minutes he left my store smilingly informlig me that he felt as well as ever.' .old by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. Summerton Notes. Editor The Manning Tlmes: The closing exer-cises of the Summer ton Graded School will take place on the 24th. Hon. R. B. Scarborough will deliver the annual address in the morn inr, and in the evening for the enter tainment of the patrons and visitors an elaborate program has been arranged, including the awarding of medals, etc. A special sermon to the students will be preached at the Methodist church on Sunday morning by Rev. Mr. Coving tn. The people of Summerton are look ing forward to the commencement ex erises of their school with much pleas ure and they expect a lar-ge number of visitors for the occcasion. Last Sturday a merry crowd of young folks enjoyed the day picnicking at Scott's lake. In an altercation between two ne groes on Rev. Mr. Sublett's place, a negro by the name of Lowrey, said to be a descendant of the notorious Henry Berry Lowrey of North Carolina. shot and ktlled Andrew Cantey, another ne gro. Lowrey skipped.. I notice that Clarendon is endeavor ing to get a special school district, and tat there is some opposition to the schenme. If the opposition would come t Summerton and visit the school here they would get convincing proof of the benefit a first class school is to a com I see it stated that Captain Thomas. Wilson signifies a willingness to run his road into Manning. Won't the citizens f that town awake to their interests and lend encouragement to such a ben e ficial project? Wilson's road to Man ~ing would take people there which now go to Sumter, and if the business men of Manning want thle road I am glad to see that Captain Wilson is w il ling to help in the project.
