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.

"You rati fool some of the penpie
all the time, and till the people

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.''

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

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."
