It has seemed impossible to pass

stupendous blunder, declared former
United States Senator John L.
McLaurln in a signed statement given
out to the Charlotte Observer during
his visit to the North Carolina
metropolis Sunday and published
Monday morning in that newspaper.
It is 6ne of the most striking and independent
utterances in the annali
of South Carolina politics in many
years.
Ex-Senator McLaurln did not say
that he would be a candidate for governor.
He said "whoever is elected
governor will necessarily have to line
up one on side or the other" of the
"present factional lines" and "this I
absolutely refuse to do."
With reference to Ex-Governor
Blease, regarded as a certainty in the
next senatorial race. Ex-Senator McLaurln
declared that "his advent into
the senate would greatly strengthen
La Follette and a 'little group of willful
senators who are doing all in
their power to hamper the conduct
of the war." I cannot by silence
make myself a party to a national calamity
of this character," says the
former senator.
Referring to Senator Tillman's expressed
desire to "die in harness,"
ex-Senator McLaurin says "this talk
is all rot. A broken d6wn horse
dying in harness is cruelty to animals."
Moreover the ex-senator declares,
"it is unfair to the balance ol
iiie team when the load is heavy and
the pace i** so fast to be handicapped
by bog spavin and heaves in an old
horse which won't work at all unless
he is in the lead."
"Then, too, we need gatling guns
instead of old rusty worn-out pitchforks,"
Senator McLaurin observes.

Killed by Train
Florence, S. C., Jan. 31.? N. J. Q
Harrel, of Lanes, roadmaster on the
Charleston division of the Atlantic
Coast Line, was run down by a passenger
train late Monday afternoon
and instantly killed. The accideni
happened near Lanes. Mr. Harrel
was traveling in his railway motor
car. It was foggy and he did not
see the passenger train until it was
close upon him. He jumped and
would have escaped death had he
not attempted to save his motor and
at the same time probably avoid
damage to the passenger train. The
pilot of the engine hurled the motor
car upon him and killed him instantly.
The negro helper on the car escaped
injury. Mr. Harrel leaves a
widow and several children.

"Say, Uncle Dnn." said Blllle, "I believe

"Well," said Uncle Dan. "to be frank
I think it does; you need the same

fit may have this training and
not leave it for his parents to pay for.
On account of the expense, not one boy:
in 50 can take the training now. I am
glad that you can do so. These big
crops and big prfces, I find, make the
farmers rather 'cocky,' and that the
best is demanded by them."
Billle was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic I
than ever. He had a plan. He knew
Jimmle owned a colt worth ?1<H>; that
he would make almost another $100 on
his potntoes if they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought n $100 Liberty bond. 1
Millie's plan was to have Jlmmie cash
In and go with him. Ho was disappointed
to find that Jlmmie would still
Inok about $.100 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: "I'm mighty sorry to leave Jim- mie."
Uncle Dan was silent a moment or
two. then he asked Millie to go down
to the orchard and get him some apples
to eat on the train. While he was
gone, !t was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr. and Mrs. Graham would adL
vance the money necessary so that
I Jlmmie could go. When Millie returned
j h? was told about it. He ran to the
'phone ard called Jlmmie. saying:
"Come Co over, runtost
