BY TEN THOUSAND. ’Tie Claimed McLauria Will Go in on llie Flint Ballot. (Tbe State, Auk. iS*.) As the time for the senatorial pri mary election draws nearer things appear to be getting livelier at Mc- Laurin headquarters at the Grand Central. Yesterday quite a num ber of Senator McLaurin’s friends were there talking over the situa tion. When Col. Neal was seen and asked about the outlook lor Sena tor McLaurin’s election in the light of advices received, he said: “Good: we have a number of letters—50 or more—daily fiom all portions of the State with encouraging news." “Do you expect him to be elected on the first ballot" “I most assuredly do " “By what majority?” was asked. “By 10,000 votes," was Col. Neal’s reply. “What about the opposition's claim that McLaurin will not be in the second race?” Col. Neal. laughingly remarked, “No; he will not be in the second race.” When his attention was called to the second claim that McLaurin will be third in the race. Col. Neal remarked: “No man makes such a claim as that who has a spoonful of political sense. The best posted politiciaos with whom I have talked and frefm whom I have received letters from all sections of South Carolina fully agree that Mc Laurin will be elected on the first ballot, and many claim much huger majorities than I do. In politics as well as in war it is not well to discount the strength of your ene mies. In making this estimate of 10,000 majority I have been very careful to give the odds to the ‘other fellows.'

The attendance of delegates so far is very good. OF COURSE. The Richmond Tobacconist says: Drumming and writing are all right in the way of getting trade, but there is nothing that will sub stitute good and persistent adver tising in one’s own trade paper, and, compared with results and possibili ties, nothing is so cheap.—Danville Tobacco Journal. Or any other good paper, for that matter. Dry goods deserve the credit for mnch of the attractiveness of women. A blue sash properly used is as effective as blue eyes and a white dress is prettier than pearl teeth.—Atchison Globe. Card oi Thanks.
