MARCH 20, 11)01. The Friendly Hind. When a man ain't got a cent, an' he's feeling kind o' blue. An' the clouds hang dark an* heavy an' won't let the sunshine through. It'sti great filing. () my brvthi'e.n, for a fellow just to lay 11 is hand uikiii your shoulder in a friendly sort o' way! It makes a man feel curious, i! makes the tear drops start. An' you sort o' fool a liutter in the re- ; ginn of the heart. You can't look up tin' meet his eyes, you don't know wlmt to sav. When his hand is on your shoulder in a friendly sort o' way. Oh, the world's a ourions compound with its honey an' its (fall. With its euros an' hitter crosses; but a j;ood world, aftes all. An' a jiood <?od must have made it? Leastways that's what I say, "When a hand rests mi my shoulder in a friendly sort, o' way. ?J.VMRS Will ."'"OMll Itll.F.Y. "You rati fool some of the penpie all the time, and till the people b une of the time, hut you can't fool all the people tdl of the time." | Ah was to be expected, Senator McLaurin has rushed into print with a strenuouH denial of the charge that lie has (put the Democratic. party. He also says that he will present the issues as best he can in the next Democratic primary. We are not quite sure about that. The State executive committee is apt to decree that the primary is not open to Kepuhli cans or independents, which wood nhlit McLaurin out. At any rate, the following statement, from Mr. Jon. Old, the Washington corrcspomlent who charged in the Atlanta Constitution that McLaurin t lias deserted the party, in of interest to South Carolinians: "Senator John L. McLaurin is quoted ns having sent, to a South Carolina newspaper a denial that he had requested that his name he stricken from the Democratic caucus roll. It was not stated that lie had takou the initiative in this matter. "The facts arc just as I stated in my telegrams to The Constitution which created so much interest throughout S .nth Carolina. Sen utor McLaurin's name is not on the Democratic caucus of tin* Senate, and the decision to leave it off was reached after a conference Senator Jones had with Senator McLaurin himself. The matter was left practically in Senator McLaurin's hands to say whether or not he considers himself eligible to caucus membership. "Almost immediately after Senator .Jones had this talk with Senator McLaurin the Democrats in the Senate held a caucus, with Senator Jones presiding and Senator Carmaek, of Tennessee, as t-ecretary. The roll was made up, noses counted and Senator McLaurin's name left otf the roll, for reasons ...I. ! I - r a 1 which lire perieciiy apparent to those who have watched his votes on latter political matters. Whether Senator McLaurin considers himself a Democrat, whether he indorses the confident claims of the' Republicans that they are more certain of his vote than they are of some men elected as Republicans or whether he classes himself as independent is immaterial. The main facts are that tlie Democrats of tho Senate do not regard him a Democrat, that his name is'not on the caucus roll and this omission was made with the indorsement of the South Carolina Senator himself that it did not properly have a place in the Democratic caucus.'' -4*> Egypt i? a Cotton Factor. Modern engineers suggested to the Egyptian government that if a dam were to he built a little way south of Cairo, bo as to provide a storage reservoir, then all the delta country of the Nile could rely upon irrigation ns certainly as it could upon the rising and setting of the huh, says the Ntw York Commercial. Thai work was undertaken, anil experience lias shown that the engineers prcdieltd with accuracy. Willi storage reservoirs large enough to secure certain irrigation every year for the enormous valley of the Nile, then that most fer.ile territory becomes a certain am! vast producer of agricultural products, the command of which will be of almost inestimable advantage to Great llritain in the struggle for commercial supremacy which is now beginning. Already lOgypt. raises one-tenth of the cotton supply of the world, and it iH a kind of cotton which Iiuhadvantages recogni/.ed byevi ry manufacturer, especially of cotton thread. It is the long staple cotton. and excciiti 11 s_r ma n our sen islands we raise very little cotton of tlint character. Willi permanent irrigation and | with modern methods and modern agricultural implements there is probably no reason why JS^ypt should not in the near future raise a majority of the cotton which the 1'hiolish nuinufacturers neeil. I'udoubtedly it is that which has induced the British statesmen and timuiciers, with the earnest encouragement of the manufacturers, to aid Kj^ypt in financing these public works. England sees a colony practically as near to her as are the cotton fields of the 1'nited States providing for her a staple article for which she has been in a jpvat measure dependent upon the I oiled States. With a better (juality of cot tun, wit li the ex [ice tat ion that slii' can net it to the doors of her manufactories at less cost than American cotton, (Ireat Britain sees in the development of the im- a nielise Nile valley by the cottoufl growers an opportunity to get t^Hj mastery of what is to be one ureal features of t he world's t^HBfl the cotton goods market -? ? Smallpox Near Charlotte. Ten cases of smallpox were discovered Thursday one mile from Charlotte, at Biddloville, where Biddle University (colored) is located. Dr. Williams, colored, reported to the chief of police that an eruptive disease was prevalent a tin lie r the iii>irr,.i>< <.f ! t !< h I !.?* 111.. ami two white physicians were immediately summoned to make a thorou^li investij^ation. Ten fully developed eases were found and sent to the pest house. Others who hud been exposed to the disease were arrested and sent to another part of the pest house to await developments. The authorities have decided to place two shifts of guards, four in each shift, in charge of the place, in order to elVeel a strict quarantine. The quarantine covers the students in Middle University, but not the professors. The Richest Man In the World. "Andrew Carnegie is undoubtedly the richest man in the world who has hiss fiirluii" r?n i ii I ?l said a prominent Now York hunker recently. "There are. perlui| h, two or three other men whose incomes are larger than his .lohn I), lloekefeller, for instance. I>ut these men are in active business, and theiroreat incomes depend, in lar^e measure,on the decree of attention they devote to their atTairs. Hut Andrew Carnegie, t hroii^h the consummation of the steel combination. has succeeded in capitalizing his colossal fortune. .Mr. .Morgan and his associates relieve Mr. Carnegie of the entiie burden of business cares and i^ive him securities to the amount of $'210,000,000, on which In' will draw f> per cent interest as lon?; as ho lives. This means an income of $1 ".000.0(H) a year, independent of his outside investments, which are very I a rue. No other man in the world is as fortunately situated. Twelve millions a year and relieved of every care! Twelve millions a year and all the time he wants for o()|f and domestic joys and the founding of libraries! One million dollars a month to spend or give away; an income of a day for irood health, and if all tjoes well fifteen to twenty years left in which to enjoy it! It is fortunate that Mr. Cnrneuie is a man who knows how to make beneficent use of the extraordinary opportunities of une(jnah'd wealth." C i noj>b> rien.
