In order to get a favorable report on this portion of the hill, Mr. McCoiuhh was obliged to submit to the elimination of that portion of hia inenHiire which uks. rted that Sohlpy was in, command at the battle of {Santiago, apd in doing ho the Sen- j ator remarked: "Well, it ia a fnet and one that it require# no assertion of C.'iigrofw to conyey to the knowledge of the grateful people pf the United States." Recently we read in an pxchunge a poem entitled "The Happy, i Happy Farmer,"- in which the writer undertook to create the inipresaiou that farm life is one loi\g. unbroken aeries of hardships and drudgery, Such mny have been the exporhspce of this ppfin writer, ' but as a general proposition the t\npression he wpuld cr|ute if, not Hiil)Mtanliated !jy facts. Tin* avprnye farmer nowadays cjbt'S not toil so many hours in thy year ps do most Ujerj employed rp^plnrly iu the citjes npd tpwng. With modern 1 impdiinery the farmer is very much a mechanic, tnd a mechanic the! severity of whose labor bus been greatly reduced by labor-paving an 1 labor-li^litenii|g machinery. No ma i who ho largely depends upon bis daily employment for hip bread in so nun h hip owfi man as the average farmer. ^\t the present time (he diudgery of the farm iH no greater than that of any other employment. A Northerner's Tribute to Lee. Charles Frances Adnni->, of Jios- i ton, in a speech delivered to col- , le^e students in Chicago a few | days ngo, spoke of (Ion. K. E. Lee | as follows: "Lee represented, individualized, all that was higlu st in the South ern mind, nntl the Confederate cause?loyalty to the State, keen sens of honor and personal obli- j nation, slightly include, the almost patriarchal love of dependent fain- ' ily and home. "I look forward with confidence ' to the t'.nje when the 1m>n?e etBgv j of Hubert K. Lee mounted on his charter, and with itj in igna pt his Confederate rank, will, frpni its predestal in the mil ion's capital, look across the Potomac at his old home at Arliugtpn. '"When tl at time comes Lee's monument will typify the histo.ieal appreciation of all that goes to make up the loftiest type of character, military and civic, exemplified in n opponent, onep dreaded, but ever respected. "Above all it will symholjze and commemorate that loyal i ?:?: ptnnce of the conse?pie|)ccp of d feat and the patient upljuiliJing of a people under new conditions by eonstitu. tional means, which 1 lio'd to be the greatest educational lesson Americu has yet taught to a once skeptical but now silenced world.'' ? ? The Amended Road Law. The road law, as amended by | the recent Legislature, is amended in regard to the a^e specification,1 and henceforth those liable to road I duly come within the range of fiom eighteen to Hfty years, asI heretofore, This amendment to the law was opp >st?d, it is under- j stood, l>y every member of the Spartanburg county delegation in the general assembly. The mem. j bora of the house of represent a tives from the lower portion of tin* State voto.l solidly for this amend ment on accouut of the fact that it would render it possible to place so many idle, loitering negro ; youths at work in improving the roads of the State. The law is; uniform throughout the State, in order to make it constitutional. - Amos Owen. Says the Charlotte Observer: "Whenever Amos Owen, the modest proprietor of Cherry Mountain, walks the streets of this city lie immediately becomes the object on which all eyes test.

E. Finley was the first speaker. H?h was a rock-ribbed Democratic speech exploring I lie iuiqui tous policy of the administration now in power in the Philippines aiill how expansion as represented by the Louisiana Purchase differs from tljp imperialistic policy of the Iiepuhlicaus of today. His record is public; the people of his district know what lie has done and therefore he asks re election, feeling confident that with his experience their interests will he better ad van ceil in the future. .1. W. Flqyd camp next. Born and renn d in this county, lie therefore is no stranger. lie deplores ilie waste of the public money. Slavery and taxes have always been the (greatest ones!ion ever before the public. The former lias Ill-oil settled by the sword, the latter is still the absorbing question of the hour. He favored the building and controlling of the Isthmian canal by the United States without the pirticipation of aijy other nation. Promising that if elected lie w ill brini* nq disgrace upon the State which lias so often honored him. With T. .1 Strait it was through out a ease of "1 told you so." Poor ''Johnnie*' McLnuriu came in for a full share of his abuse. IJe was, and is. opposed to the J whole Cuban bnsints-i. Cuba is free today only in name?she is controlled by the Piatt bill. The Declaration of .Independence has been torn into shreds and today the government is in mid-ocenn without a compass, llis hands were tied when he was in Congress ami therefore he could do nothing; but now that ''the country has come to its senses and McLaurin has been relegated to tin* Republican party where lie always belonged," be believes that he can be of great service to his State, which lie has always loved, lie favors turning the islands over to the Filipinos. We need men in Congress who can listen as well as speak. Those who listen well, think a great deal, and vote right always make the best congressmen. He promises to make a warm cam. paign. \Y. B. Wilson came Inst. He was at the d sad vantage of being a stranger before a Kershaw audience. lie only outlined how he proposed to tight out this campaign and that, too, to win. He believes in practical politics and he is in this campaign for results and not recreation. He believes that ho can do his State material service in Congress, and stands on his record, which h s always represented all that is true, manly and honorable, lie believes that it will not be sound business policy on the part of our government to relinquish everything in the Philippines; that a coal station should at least be given us for all that we have expended for them.
