Local Telephone No. O k MAY l.?. I'.Ml. Speaking of South Cnrolinn politics, Representative Latimer, who is a candidate to succeed Senator McLaurin, sa\s: "John L. Mc* ! Lauriti has been speaking in favor f T? II* I * * I a 1 in Jtcpuoiicau policies, ana u ims been suntxested that I answer him. However, I do not believe in rushing into a campaign that is so far <>tf, and 1 shall choose my own time to say what I have to say." Of Hen. Wade Hampton's refusal of the offer of the post mastership at Columbia, Mr. Latimer said: "I have no doubt the olTer was made in the hope of securing the iuiluetice of that grand old warrior in favor of Senator McLaurin's plans, and ho has shown that his influence is not to lie secured in that fashion. There isn't money enough in the world to buy (Son. Hampton." In last week's Commoner Mr. Bryan replies to the statement of Henry Watterson, that "Bryan is not a party leader or a statesman, but a moral philosopher." lie says: "The Democratic party will not **M^^pmlon its ideas; it will not do1 its policies from its visions; .'will not adopt 'anything to win' + - policy; it will n it la-gin bellowing at the scent of blood. '*Mr. Wntterson's definition of statesmanship is that it is the art of detaching one's policies from his visions, or, to speak more plainly, the art of ignoring moral principles whenever it is popular or profitable to do so. Fortunately this definition has never la-en, and let ns hope never will be, generally accepted. The statesman must have ideals, for without them he cannot appeal to the hearts of men, and he must follow his ideals, for unless lie does be can not long restrain the confidence of the people. "The policy 'may run with tinhare and hunt with the hounds,' but in the former case he is apt to be caught, and in the hitler case earns a dog's reputation." ?? -4 -? ? The new Ayeock anti-gambling law, which has just gone into effect in North Carolina, is proving to be the most effective measure of the kind ever tried in tlie South. The penalties are not only heavy on the gamblers, but even more severe upon saloon-keepers and polico oflicers who protect gambling. Police officers are required to make weekly sworn statements, t*? which the mayor shall also attach his signature, that no gambling place has been in operation, that no gambling paraphernalia is located and that no gambling has, to their knowledge, occurred in the city during the preceding seven days, adding that they have taken due care to detect any violation of the law. If gambling is discovered to have existed on any policeman's beat by others than himself an investigation must lie had, and if the officer either had X knowledge or failed to exercise proper vigilance, he shall not only be immediately dismissed from tinforce, but shall forever be debarred from serving as a police officer in Stale. ? The Savannah news having remarked that "while the sparks are ilyitiK ironi the rasping Ida les of ( Tillman and Mel.auini the editor I of tbe Oolambin state is calmly I writiug a serial editorial on 'mos | quitoVH and malaria. ' The N r I folk Landmark itnpiires of its I Georgia contemporary if it can I not 'see the connection." Onr friend at Norfolk is discerning. In M tins ease it was Tillman, the boss B inosqnito, who. while inserting hits B hungry proboscis into the veins \ of the State introduced therein sundry hartnfnl j*erms, ntnonu them McLnui inisin, which have fro )i time to time afflicted the body politic with headache, nausea ^ und other symptoms of political Hampton ami (i')rilon Sp-'nk. At the opening exercises of the Confederate rctitiion hold in Columbia hint week an enthusiastic reception was tendered Gen. Wmle Hampton, who spoke as follows: My comrades: I have hoard that |' rebel yeh 1 >? f?-re and I wish that 1 I, eon Id respond to it now, as it was ; once my pride to do, and toll the | brave men who were around me to go in and win, hut time has marked j1 many a mile stone on my march to my last resting place. Perhaps i there are some ainon^ you here i who knew the old Philips Legion. The lieutenant colonel of that leuioti was one of the best lighters,' of the legion, but lie was not much 1 on grammar or drill, and once, i when his legion was in winter j j (juarters, he sent an officer to inspect and drill them. Well, they well' not accustomed toquiek time on foot and the old general com-, promised by saying, ''Their spirits are irootl. but their winds i?n? short." Now that is wry much the condition of myself. 1 have had ft very sovero attack of jzrip ' and that has left me very much in the same condition as those men. !>y the by, that recalls another incident. When they came to South Carolina, at the last of tie war. they wore sent down near Branch- 1 villo and wore put one ni?jht to relievo some militia, who always camped alon^ a brunch, and the day after they camped there he found the Federals had climbed up the trees of the swamp and tired down upon their breastworks and next morning they went in the i branch and commenced dropping those Yankees like ducks. One | Yankee called out. "What troops are tho-c?" lie said militia; and he said, "You are a - liar. They are not milit ia. ? My comrades, I will say friends, because I am a ' friend of every comrade who has been true. You are my fiicmls and 1 have been appointed by the cam]), which honors me by bearing ! my name, to return thanks to you mr coming, to welcome you here, iih 1 do for them, for myself, for; every bravo man in Columbia, for every noble and patriotic woman who still clings to tlm faith which inspires us. 1 welcome you, and 1 the mayor Iiiik extended to you the freedom of the city. You are wel- j come ami the freedom of Colum- ' hia is offered you. and 1 am sure that in no other place in the win Id, in the South, could you feel a brighter welcome. I have seen many of my old men from (Jeor^ia and other States. \\ e are honored tonight hy having an old soldier, (Jen. (Jordon, from (Jeor^iu, with us. He has come to do honor to Columbia, where he helped us so much in IS7(? and all of you who were in the cavalry will join me when I say we were always r;lad , when we knew (Jen. (Jordon was leading his men. (Applause.) lie is here, and I. for you, thank him for t he honor he does. Now, iiiy friends, 1 can say nothing more to yon. 1 have ( come from a siek bed that 1 uiiyht meet you, ii11(I it'll you 1 have never forgotten the old 101?SVIIO. when wo ciiinped together. They say our en use lias liecn los': bill a just eauso never dies. It will live forever, and I pray to (iod that in the hearts of all men who fouirht so bravely they will reiueinber 1 hat though the cause on earth is lost, it will Ioii^t oo down the panes of history as one of the noblest and greatest struggles and made by the noblest army that ever trod this ereen earlh. At the conclusion of (len. Hampton's speech, the following remarks were made by (Jen. dohn It. (iordon: "I ii in not a Carolinian, but I'm a (Jeor^ian. and can prove it by this entire audience. I am stand, ino tonight on South Carolina soil, and in the very heart of hearts of Soul hern chivalry. More than that. I am standing in the presence of the very greatest man that it has ever produced in ail t ime, ( Lfreat applause,) and I mean no vain llatlerv. I use no iiiimean. in?X words \v!?? n 1 sny that. Inking him us m private citi'/.cn. as a soldier upon a hundred bloody fields, as the hero of Kecoiistnudion, worse than war and the vfory lield. standing today in liis mitriit like the mountains on your own northem border, with the very clouds around his head and dust of the past at his feet, without one stain in his life, without the possibility of a doubt, I pronounce Wade Hampton the chief of men, and now my Con fed rate brothers. I want to say that it has been my fortune to stand b ?fore some threat armies in this country and in foreign lands, but as (tod is my J jud/e, I believe that a convent ion I of Confederate veterans is the I noblest ^ralherinu that ever met beneath the stars, and it requires no piercinii vision to rend upon the brow of every man present the four letters, II E K-O." j' Timrod's Poetry Stilt Live?. Lovers of genuine poetry, levers of sweetness nnd light, learn with grat ificntion that <nt May 1 a bronze bust of Henry Tim rod was unveiled in Washington Square, Charleston, S. C., with appropriate , ceremonies of appreciation. One thin volume contains all that Timrod published, but it. is precious, unci will not soon die. His work for the most part was clone during j the terrible days of the civil war, when his country men of the South were too much absorbed in the lespernte fortunes of their section to give much heed to the singer, L'ven when their cause was the inspiration of his songs. The p.'ission of the South, in its highest phase of devotion and sacrifice, had no more inspirod voice than his. He 41i 111 tn IS<?7 in dire poverty, the victim of consumption. He died almost unknown heyoiul a small circle < f admirers. < )nc of the earliest admirers of bis verse was (Jov. Andrew, who committed to memory and often recited aloud in his ollioe as a relief from the strain of toil one of his poems, which In* had found in a newspaper. lit! was really introduced to the public through a small volume, collected and published with a sympathetic sketch of his life by his fiiend Paul 11. llayne. Since that time he has steadily jjp'own in favor. This is the season when his noble poem. ''Spring,*' appeals to all hearts. It is hardly possible tor one who knows it to look upon the wm (Is in May and not recall the lines: tn the deep heart of every forest tree The hlooil is all aylee. And there's a look about the leailess bowers As it they dreamed of flowers. Items cf .State News. \V. 11. Hardin has been re-elected mayor of ('hosier.
