This is right, but because he was not long ago the champion of Bryan de mocracy in this section and some of the big questions he was hand* ling are not yet settled. Perhaps the senator has had a slight attack of “gush” which seems to be epidemic now. President McKinley, no doubt, is good, kind and popular, but when the period of hand shaking is over and the Republican party settles down to business, will the president forget his party ties and Republican policy? IN CONTEMPLATION. The Times’ war dispatches have served their purpose. Interesting at one time, they drew subscribers; not particularly interesting now, they do not bold subscribers. Ac cordingly, we have discontinued them, and shall deiote our ener gies to making an acceptable local paper. However, we contemplate tak ing a telegraphic service covering general jews—a service which, though not long, will cover the news of the day. This we can do if we get the proper support, but we cannot do it with the support heretofore accorded. The Times is the only daily paper published in the whole Pee Dee section of country, the largest town in the Pee Dee country is its home, it is a standing advertisment of the town—the best advertisement the town has, in fact—and there is no telling where it would go should it receive the right kind of boost from home. Of course, the Times wants nothing given to it It gives value received and expects noth ing but that in return. It wants advertising and seeks advertising, it wants subscribers and seeks subscribers, but each inch of space has- a distinct -e^A The Florida Times Union atfdteaoli subseripWOTT A worth it' Says the Jacksonville Times Union and Citizen: “Florida ports will now be the points of shipment for the coun tries to the south of us, if the gen eral government will help to put them in order Why can’t Charleston and Port Royal come in for a share of these shipments either north or south? We notice that a delegation of Charleston business men will soon leave for Porto Rico “to spy out the land.” From a paper in the Literary Digest, headed, “Talks with Mr. Gladstone,” we clip the following which is peculiarly atriking ana suggestive as coming from an English statesman ana one who is in the front rank of the states* men of the world. “Mr. Gladstone was of the opin ion that Professor Bryce, in his social aspects of America, has not dwelt enough on the influence of wealth. He thought that the “era of wealth,” i. e., of colossal for tunes, is setting in; and he re gretted it. He spoke of the re port that Mr. Astor has two and a half millions a year. “The Duke of Westminster is a pauper to him.” Over the distribution of wealth he felt uneasy, and he thought the irresponsibility at taching to the conditions of hold ing wealth nowadays, especially in the United States, and the diffi culty or impossibility of bringing home to men the respousibility of riches held under the present con ditions, is the black ipot of the future.” gufleriJBK Women ifi The Femicure Ta stantly relieve all soreness in the wc applied directly parts, and act like ing poultice, drawii pain.

W. B. Costley, of Stockbridge, Ga., while fittending to his pastoral duties »tf Ellen- wood, that State, was 4^«ked by cholera morbus. He says: “By chance I happened to get bold of a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and I think it was the means of saving my life. It relieved me at once.” For sale by •alLdrifggists and medicine dealers. ; ’ Aug. Citizen has the following : “The regular soldiers of the United States broke the county jail in Tampa and took from it a prisoner held by the State authori ties to answer a serious charge for breach of the civil law. The same regiment by force took a prisoner from the Sheriff on the public highway by threats and the display of force—bringing the weapons furnished by ths general government to bear against a State officer in the discharge of his duty. The situation is a serious one. The executive department of this State Government must vindicate the majesty of the law or fail most lamentably in the discharge of its duty. The military must not be allowed to overbear the civil au thority if we are to remain free and avoid the dangers of the fu ture. Where were the officers of that regiment when the men were breaking the State law and dis turbing the peace of Florida ?” This very question, the subordi nate of the military to the civil power, is a serious one, but we fear that, among a large class of Republicans, those who favor cen tralization and the practical obliC oration of State lines, the ques tion will have Little consideration. The military spirit is naturally arrogant and insolent, yet we find Southern Journals, those who are willing to say “new South” and are raising the cry of indefinite ex pansion of territory, saying there is no danger to our institutions. We must look to the democrats of the country--the homespun peo ple- to save it. SENATOR McLAURIN We quote only in part Senator McLaurin’s recent utterances on President McKinley as repor.ed in the News and Courier: President McKinley’s policy is universally approved, ami he is the most popular man vith the masses, withont regard to section or party, that hss occupied the white house since thf) days of Andrew Jackson. * If the presidential election should take place now, I would be in favor of renominating him by acclamation and electing him without putting another candi date in the field against him. He has shown wonderful judgment in price. All of which is respectfully sub mitted to business men and read ers in general. Yellow' J euudio- t)ur«*l.
