W., Washington. D. C. DECEPTION IS COWARDLY. As a specimen of the unfair treatment Senator McLaurin is receiving at the hands of the op position press, we herewith re produce from the News and Cou rier a clipping which that paper has credited to the Laurens County News. MCLAURIN'S FOLLOWERS. The people of this State are waiting to see what attitude the new President will hold towards the Commercial Democrats. This was McKinley's last term and he could well offord to ap point Democrats to office. But with Roosevelt it is different. His career is before him, as it were, and he natural lv wishes to be the next Republican nominee. He naturally wants to make friends with all Republicans, and there by get their support for renomination. If he appoints Democrats to the Feder al offices could he expect the old line Republicans to support him in the National Republican Convention? Senator McLaurin's followers may find themselves in a predicament if Roosevelt follows McKinley's policy in regard to appointments. They may have to send delegates to the next Re publican Convention Our object in reproducing this clipping is to show that what we said about the News and Couri er giving prominence to all the little flings and - misrepresenta tions against McLaurin is so. The News and Courier, however, has had the conscience to per - mit the friends of McLaurin to defen4 him in its columns which is a spirit of fairness that the Columbia State does not posess: Therefore when we see a news paper with the conscience even as the News and Courier, clip ping little petty and deceptive scraps like the foregoing clip ping from the Laurens News, we think it is unworthy of such a great daily. Now if the News -and Courier wants to do the proper thing. and it is not shackl - ed by its new idol, if it will pub-I lish the things that are said against McLaurin, it ought also for the sake of many of its sub-1 scribers who are McLaurin's friends reproduce at least some of the editorials that are pub -lished in his favor. A news paper ought to be fair and it cannot be if it is too one-sided; The editorial columns of a paper is where the people look for the editor's stand in a public dis cussion, and we would not com plain, if the News and Courier was to write anti-McLaurin editorials every day if it would either stop reproducing every dirty fling that is made at him, or if it will run a column giving the editorial expressions made on both sides. We lay special stress on the conduct of the News and Couri er, because we are very fond of it's editor in chief and we feel that his present mode of fight ing McLaurin is unnatural, it is not in-accord with his high sense of honor. The fact of not throw ing into the waste basket comun nications addressed to that paper -by friends of McLaurin when they, feel that their friend has been foully slandered or mis represented, is a strong hope that the News and Courier's heart isinot real bad. The Laurens County News, if we remember right is edited by a man who at one time edited a paper in Horry county, and at that time his paper was an ar dent supporter of Sampson Pope, who was a Republican endorsed candidate for governor. The Horry paper and the Columbia State supported Pope, and now both of these editors are very solicitous for the welfare of the Democratic party. Bah! Fool who'. Not the free white people of Southt Carolina. Ben Tillman got up a system of political edu cation, which resulted in educat ing the masses, and whenever politicians or newspaper editors, who mn the days of excitement resorted to all the means that passion and disappointment could conceive of-those who gave aid to Samp's Pope and G. W. Mur ray mn their efforts to tear up -the franchise clause in our Con stitution, so that our registration ]aws would be destroyed, under take to act as our political moni tors, the people regard it as the interference of impertinent ene mies. The idea of a supporter of Samp's Pope questioning Sen ator McLaurin's Democracy, but for the edification of the Laurens County News, News and Courier, Columbia State and all others -who are now fighting McLaurin and professing friendship for Tillman, we will say as one of McLaurin's followers that wheth er Roosevelt follows McKinley's wise policy or not, the followers of McLahrmn will be found true and loyal Denmocrats. They will~ follow McLaurin clean through the Democratic primaries, anjd rejoice at his election, but should he be defeated in the primaries, they will not turn State's evi dence and run into the federal courts to have the decision of the white people set aside, but they will take their medicine like men and stand by the choice of the majority. McLaurinites are so built, we have not been inoculat ed with the deceptive virus of the Laurens County News, The State and others and we are real sorry to see slight evi dences of the taint now get ting into the News and Courier. Senator Tillman has a great deal of magnetism, there is no doubt of it, but we never believed that it had reached the stage of hy pnotism, and if he has not got the News and Courier hypnotised then possibly the Anti-ship peo ple have it subsidized. Who knows? EXPOSITION A SUCCESS. The people of South Carolina will always be proud of the ap propriation made by the South Carolina General Assembly to the Charleston exposition. It was a subsidy it is true, but it was an appropriation made with that business foresight which far seeing business men make when they are expecting prac tical benefits. It is indeed worth a trip to the city to visit the ex position grounds, the- buildings are nearing completion and the sunken gardens, flower beds, and beautifull - hedges make a pretty sight. The buildings are as pretty in design as the build ings of any exposition ever held in this country, and in our opin ion they excel in beauty the buildings of Atlanta or Nash ville. There is no fear now that the gates will not be opened on time; it is probable, like all tremen dous undertakings, every thing will got be completed by the open ing day, but the show is to last six months, and there will be the greatest plenty for the sight seer. The success of the expo sition is already assured, the people of the city are taking up the bond issues with commenda ble confidence in the enterprise, and when the gates are thrown open, the city will take care of the visitors. We earnestly hope that the counties in this State will have the spaces allotted to them, fill ed up with exhibits of the natur al resources of their counties. We expect great results from this exposition; we I )ok for greater benefits to the country districts than to Charleston. The temporary benefit will certainly be Charleston's, but the greater permanent benefits will come to the interior. It will come in the developement of our forests and swamps, our mines and our milling interests; there will be industrial enterprises all over the State that were . never thought of before, and the com munities in which they are es tablished will point with pride to the 'source that brought them. There will be an impetus to the noble avocation of farming, new ideas, with new implements will be introduced, visitors f rom abroad will see what kind of a climate .and soil we have and they will gradually drift down here and put their modern mach inery and ideas to work. The exposition will be of great value from as educational standpoint, and every taxpayer in South Carolina who will go out on the exposition grounds and take in the granduer and extent of that institution, would come back an enthusiastic work er for it's success. - Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portrion of the ear.

Mr. Steve Proctor the artist of Beau lah was in this section a few days ago. I am delighted to see the advertising patronage the Manning merchants are giving the people's county paper, and from those advertisements Manning is no doubt a fine purchasing market. A few days ago, I was visiting at a neigh bors, where several members of the family had congregated for the purpose of deciding where to go to trade, sever al towns were mentioned and Manning was voted as the place to go; this I know was on account of the way Nan ning is advertising in the TIES. About a month ago a bear or some other kind of a destructive animal was going about these parts, some called it a tiger and others a panther cat. It did not do any further harm than scare people. It did some damage in some of the fields and was shot and slightly wounded several times, at last some few of us decided that we would stop its wild career. We organized a doz en, the bravest of the fellows took a stand near a field where the anifhial had been feeding at night, and after watch ing without seeing anything of the bear, they retired. An old hunter on hearing of the excitement called his dogs and set them on trail without suc cess. The hunter suspecting some thing wrong, inspected the tracks and found them to have been made by a goat. Imagine the hunter's disgust. There is a stream of grape juice flowing through this community, and if Constable Alsbrook will come over here, he might save some from getting drowned. I am glad to see John Slab writing again, we enjoy his ruminations. They are no dreams and his letters are bound to bring good results. I congratulate the TIES editor for his kindly interest in the farmers; his efforts to build up Manning's market is being endorsed every where that I can hear from. I was glad to see what you said about growling at the editor. Let them growl, it often takes bitter medi cine to cure a bad disease, and the TIMES' admonitions will redound to the welfare of everybody. There are some of course, who will regard what the TIMES is doing, as interference, but so did the fellow regard Captain Edgar Plowden when he caught him with a before been stolen from the Captain's bank; had not CaptaiL interfered, the fellow would have had the potatoes safely, so it is with merchants who want it all, and if you will wa:ch ahat class you will find they do not stay in busi ness long. I will bet o Mexican dollar that the merchants who do not '" your methods to build up the m have a change in their busin next spring. oKeep up the fight and Salem will stand by you. B.
